"Ahhh—"
Her face contorted in pain, and she instinctively reached out to cover her cheek, blood trickling from between her fingers.
Seeing the bright red liquid soaking the ground, Ding Mei's vision went black and she fainted on the spot.
Yi Tianran: "..."
What's going on?!
She fainted before she could even unleash her power?
That's it?
But there was no time to worry about her now. Yi Tianran quickly went to Shen Xinyao's side, untied the ropes binding her, and gently patted her back.
The suffocating pain made Shen Xinyao choke and nearly die. After a while, she finally came to her senses, raised her teary eyes and looked at Yi Tianran, saying pitifully, "Sister Tianran, I knew you would come to save me."
Yi Tianran felt heartbroken and angry at the same time.
She turned around and kicked Ding Mei hard, still not satisfied.
She narrowed her cold eyes slightly and said to Shen Xinyao, "Wait for me for a moment."
Then he ran to the kitchen.
When she returned, she was carrying a bucket full of ice water, which she splashed all over Ding Mei.
"Ah—" The icy chill jolted Ding Mei awake. She winced in pain and it took her a while to come to her senses. Hugging her arms, she stared at the woman in front of her with a terrified expression. "Who...who are you? Who gave you permission to trespass into my house? Help! Throw her out!"
"Stop shouting." Yi Tianran's expression was icy as she looked down at her. "I've already taken care of those security guards. You can shout until you're hoarse, but it won't do you any good."
Ding Mei trembled, a sharp pain shooting through the wound on her cheek. An overwhelming hatred surged within her. "You bastard! How dare you disfigure me! Believe me or not, I'll make sure you rot in jail."
"Before that, you should think about the consequences of kidnapping someone else." Yi Tianran's expression was sarcastic.
A flicker of guilt flashed across Ding Mei's eyes. She stiffened her neck and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "Who said I kidnapped her? I just invited Miss Chu to my home to have some things to say to her."
Yi Tianran's eyes were icy: "You call 'guest' if you tie her up?"
Ding Mei was extremely displeased. She suddenly got up from the ground and said angrily, "If anyone is to blame, it's her. She's the one who made my precious son lie in bed unconscious. She has to take responsibility for this!"
"Do you have any evidence?" Yi Tianran asked her in return.
Ding Mei glared and argued unreasonably, "No evidence is needed. If it weren't for this jinx, how could my son have been so unlucky? It was her bad luck that indirectly harmed Yi Gui."
Shen Xinyao, who was standing to the side, was almost amused by her words.
Yi Tianran shook her head helplessly, looking her up and down with a complicated expression. "Ms. Ding, you really have no self-awareness at all!"
Ding Mei: "What do you want to say!"
Yi Tianran said with pity, "I'm telling you, with your bulging, big eyes, flat nose, and sharp features, you look like you're destined to bring misfortune to your husband and children. If you ask me, your son's fate is all because of you, his own mother. How dare you blame others? It's truly pathetic!"
Ding Mei's cheeks twitched with anger, her entire face turning bright red. "You're talking nonsense!"
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, you can find a fortune teller to see for yourself." Yi Tianran crossed her arms, a sly glint in her eyes. "Luckily, your husband is smart. He knew he couldn't rely on you, so he immediately went outside to find another woman to have a second child with. When your precious son kicks the bucket on his sickbed, he'll immediately bring his illegitimate son into the house to take over the family business, drive away the shrewish wife, and marry a beautiful new wife. He'll be a true winner in life!"
"You..." Ding Mei was trembling with anger, her eyes wide as saucers. "What did you say?"
"Is it really that unbelievable? You should know your husband's character better than anyone." Yi Tianran smiled, her eyes full of malice. "Our son is practically dead. If he doesn't have another one soon, who will inherit the family business? Who will support us in our old age? We can't expect a shrew like you, who's almost menopausal, to have another child! Even if you can still have children, with Yi Gui as a precedent, your second child will definitely be a bastard. In that case, why not go find a young, beautiful, highly educated, and sensible woman outside and have a high-IQ son? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Listening to her description, Ding Mei felt as if she had witnessed the scene firsthand. She was so angry that her internal organs felt like they were about to explode, and all the blood rushed to her head, almost causing a stroke on the spot.
"Impossible!" she denied verbally, but her heart was already wavering.
Yi Tianran sneered and said meaningfully, "Believe it or not, but I'm very accurate at reading faces. You are destined to be separated from your husband and children and to have a miserable old age."
After saying that, she took Chen Xinyao's hand and turned to leave.
Before leaving, seeing Ding Mei's thunderstruck and ashen face, Shen Xinyao was almost overjoyed.
Once they were out of the villa area, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister, was what you said true or false?"
"A mixture of truth and falsehood, half-truth and half-falsehood."
In fact, judging from Yi Gui's lecherous nature, it's clear that he inherited his father's "fine tradition."
In his younger days, Yi Laosan loved gambling and womanizing, but ever since he married Ding Mei, he has been tamed by this shrew to an unimaginable degree.
For a while, he would avoid women whenever he saw them.
Over time, Ding Mei thought she had completely tamed him.
However, a leopard can't change its spots; his lecherous nature will never change, but as for illegitimate children, he wouldn't dare to have them even if you gave him a hundred lives.
Yi Tianran said casually, "However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout in the heart, and it can never be pulled out."
As for what that volatile she-devil might do in her anger, that's beyond her control.
Looking at the devilish smile on her face, Shen Xinyao felt as if a pair of black wings had sprouted from her back.
However, instead of being afraid, she looked at her with admiration and said, "Sister, you are so amazing! I will definitely learn a lot from you in the future! I will become a master at sowing discord and turning the tables on my enemies!"
Yi Tianran reached out and touched her hair. "Good girl."
All she had to do next was clean up the mess.
...
at the same time.
Ding Mei kept replaying Yi Tianran's words in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more terrified and furious she became.
She sacrificed everything for her husband and son, only to be betrayed in return?
He even dared to have illegitimate children with other beautiful women; he deserves to die!
"Wife, I'm home." It wasn't until Yi Laosan's voice rang out from outside the door that I heard it.
Ding Mei suddenly snapped back to her senses, her eyes bloodshot. She grabbed a piece of blue and white porcelain from the cabinet and smashed it toward the door.
After finishing his social engagements, Yi Laosan returned home reeking of alcohol, only to be met with a heavy object hurtling towards him.
If he hadn't been unsteady on his feet, the bottle would have hit him squarely on the head, and he would have been half-dead.
