The owner of that voice was clearly—
Liu Meiling!
Yi Tianran no longer cared why she was there. Instead, she rushed out reflexively and finally saw two figures pulling and tugging at the streetlight.
Liu Meiling frowned, her face grim, and said, "If you don't let go of me, I'll call for help!"
Across from her, holding her arm, was a middle-aged man.
The other person seemed very strong, holding her tightly and refusing to let go, while cursing, "Go ahead and shout if you dare, and see who will bother with our family affairs. You'd better come back with me."
Yi Tianran paused slightly as she was about to rush over.
Household chores?
Could this uncle be...?
Liu Meiling said coldly, "Uncle, don't force me."
Uncle Liu said righteously, "I forced you? Our family has worked so hard to raise you, and you actually ran away without permission, causing my son's illness to be delayed. Those people couldn't find a suitable kidney for him, and he's almost dead. If you become Director Xu's concubine, he will try to save my son. This concerns your cousin's life. Don't even think about running away this time."
Liu Meiling roared through gritted teeth, "That Director Xu is already over sixty years old!"
"Isn't that perfect? Just consider it as being bitten by a dog a couple of times. Anyway, he's getting old and about to kick the bucket. You'll even get a share of his estate!" Uncle Liu's face was disgusting to look at.
Yi Tianran had excellent hearing, and after hearing his speech, she was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
He didn't care that she was Liu Meiling's elder, and rushed up to teach her a lesson.
But the next second, something unexpected happened.
Liu Meiling suddenly raised her long leg and, with a clean and decisive kick, struck the man's most vulnerable spot.
"Ah—" Uncle Liu clutched his lower body, collapsed to the ground in pain, his face turned green, and he rolled around in agony.
Liu Meiling seemed to be completely enraged, her eyes were sinister and terrifying, and her tone was cold and eerie, sounding especially strange in the night: "I told you not to mess with me."
The next second, she bent down, grabbed Uncle Liu's tie, and started flailing her arms left and right.
The crisp sound of the slap was particularly loud in the night.
"You family of beasts, what right do you have to suppress me, humiliate me, and persecute me? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" At this moment, Liu Meiling was like a vengeful ghost that had crawled out of the underworld, beating him until his face was bruised and swollen, and he spat out blood. Several of his teeth were knocked out.
"It's all your fault. You ruined my life and turned me into this inhuman, ghost-like state."
The more she spoke, the more hateful she became, her eyes turning bloodshot, and a murderous intent was evident in them.
Yi Tianran had never seen Liu Meiling like this before.
In my memory, she was always weak, powerless, and in pain.
Only at this moment was she so crazy, so vibrant.
Liu Meiling was unaware of the gazes behind her; she had almost lost all reason.
Even seeing Uncle Liu howling in pain after being beaten, she still felt unsatisfied.
She's already living such a difficult life, why do some people still have to pressure her?
Why doesn't this kind of scum die?!
Thinking of this, she paused in her hand movements and suddenly noticed a stone to the side.
A strange smile appeared on Liu Meiling's face as she picked up the stone.
"Uncle, since you insist on making this fuss, then don't blame me. You forced me to do this."
Uncle Liu's pupils contracted, and his eyes filled with fear.
The next moment, he watched helplessly as Liu Meiling raised a stone and smashed it towards his forehead.
"Ahhh—No!!!"
In the critical moment, a hand grabbed Liu Meiling's arm. "Madam, please understand, this could lead to someone's death."
Yi Tianran initially thought that she just wanted to vent her anger and teach Uncle Liu a lesson.
I never expected her to do something so irrational.
Before the situation became irreversible, she rushed forward to stop it.
Liu Meiling turned around blankly and saw a portly old man, which startled her awake.
"Ah—" She dropped the stone in her hand and covered her mouth with a look of horror and helplessness. "No... I didn't mean to."
"You..." Yi Tianran was about to say something to comfort her when Liu Meiling continued in a pitiful voice, "It was this beast. She tried to force me to do that kind of thing. I was terrified at the time and acted impulsively. I never thought it would turn out like this. Please believe me, sir."
Yi Tianran: "..."
Clearly, this time she was dressed as a pot-bellied old man, which was so different from her usual image that Liu Meiling didn't recognize her.
"Call the police..." Uncle Liu, lying on the ground, trembled as he reached out his hand and managed to utter two words before fainting.
"No, you can't call the police! I don't want anyone to know I was almost raped. People will look at me with strange eyes. Sir, please, just pretend you didn't see this, okay?" Liu Meiling approached her with feigned panic, reached out and grasped her hand at her side, her eyes sparkling as she said, "As long as you don't call the police, I'll do anything you ask."
As she spoke, she actually leaned her head towards Yi Tianran's chest.
Yi Tianran was so frightened that she took several steps back. Now, she could no longer admit her identity to Liu Meiling.
She cleared her throat and said with a righteous expression, "Since you're alright, then we won't call the police. As for him... I'll call an ambulance to handle it. We'll just say we saw him collapsed on the roadside. You can go now!"
"Thank you, sir," Liu Meiling said, her eyes brimming with tears. She bowed deeply to him and then turned and left.
Yi Tianran: "..."
After that interaction, she felt an indescribable embarrassment.
She could understand Liu Meiling's desire to sever ties with her uncle.
But just now, she clearly wanted to seduce me?
Is this approach... based on Liu Meiling's experience after all the hardships she has endured over the years?
For a moment, Yi Tianran felt a mix of emotions.
Why has she never shown this side of herself to me?
Judging from her skills just now, she must have been trained; she should be able to handle at least a typical thug.
Can a person really have two faces at the same time?
...
That evening, she made a special trip back to see Fu Yunchen.
She mentioned it to him, but Fu Yunchen remained calm after hearing it, saying, "I told you before, she's not normal."
Yi Tianran: "..." Before, she thought that Fu Yunchen was prejudiced against Liu Meiling, but now she couldn't convince herself.
Has Liu Meiling been hiding anything from her all these years?
Who could have driven her to become like this?
Fu Yunchen reached out and pulled her into his arms. "When you come back to see me, don't mention anyone else."
Yi Tianran tilted her head back and smiled charmingly: "Alright, stop being so jealous. You are the rightful wife. How can anyone else compete with you?"
