Chapter 166 I got slapped by my mother! My mother isn't blind! That's great~
As a woman herself, Shen Yingshuang could tell that Madam Qiao disliked Xia Mian, and she could also see through Lu Lian'er's act of feigning helplessness.
Shen Yingshuang was so angry that she trembled all over. She struggled to support her weak body and slapped her eldest son, Xia Qinglin, across the face. Xia Qinglin's face was turned to the side by the slap.
"What a tragedy! Is this how you take care of your sister?"
"Can't you tell that Lu Lian'er is a green tea b*tch?"
"Her ridiculous little tricks have managed to drive a wedge between you and your brother!"
"I'm so disappointed!"
Xia Qinglin was shocked to be slapped by his mother. He looked at her with humiliation and grievance, "Mom! How can you not distinguish right from wrong? It's clearly Xia Mian who's in the wrong!"
"Look at her aggressive manner! Where is even a trace of her obedience and understanding?"
"Look, it's clearly Lian'er who's being bullied, okay? Lian'er is almost fainting because of her, can't you see that?"
Shen Yingshuang looked at her three sons with an extremely unfamiliar gaze, as if she had never known them before.
How could they speak such cold words with a mouth that's only 37 degrees Celsius? And they were talking to their own sister?
How could they be so heartless? So cold-blooded? So shameless?
So self-righteous?
Shen Yingshuang was so angry she almost had a heart attack.
She pointed at her three sons, barely able to speak, "You, you have disappointed me so much!"
“And you!” She looked at Madam Qiao again, her eyes as if she were looking at trash.
"I thought we were good friends. I was so blind to have made a marriage agreement with your family when my daughter was little. That agreement was just verbal, without any tokens or ceremony!"
"It's void now!"
"Since you look down on my daughter, my daughter doesn't need your family!"
Although Madam Qiao tried her best to hide it, Shen Yingshuang could still sense Madam Qiao's disdain and arrogance.
The tone, which sounded like a handout, was tinged with a sense of superiority.
Madam Qiao's face turned ashen. She never expected that Shen Yingshuang, a woman with a soft temper, would suddenly become so fierce.
She rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Shen Yingshuang, what's wrong with you? My son is so outstanding, so handsome, so amazing! It's your daughter's good fortune to even be able to speak to him!"
"Sorry, we can't accept this blessing. Whoever wants it can have it!" Shen Yingshuang spat and grabbed Xia Mian's hand. "Mianmian, don't worry, your brother and the others are blind and heartless, but Mom won't be."
She thought her mother would also be assimilated by them!
She thought her mother would also blame her and side with Lu Lian'er!
She thought... she was still all alone in the Xia family.
"Mianmian, you've been wronged." Shen Yingshuang couldn't imagine how helpless and painful her youngest daughter must have been while she was unconscious.
Xia Mian nestled in her mother's arms, her eyes reddening.
Past lives and present lives. In her past life, she regretted not being able to cure her mother; in this life, she is fortunate that her mother is lucid.
The mother and daughter, separated by two lifetimes, meet.
Xia Mian's tears fell almost without warning. She closed her eyes, unable to utter the words "I'm not wronged."
As Shen Yingshuang thought about her daughter's childhood, she finally shed tears.
She sighed, wiped away her own tears, and wiped away Xia Mian's tears as well.
"Mianmian, don't worry, Mom won't be that confused. I will never give the shares I hold to Lu Lian'er, nor will I buy her any houses or villas."
Every word Lu Lian'er says is a trap. She deliberately uses ambiguous statements to mislead Xia Mian. It's clear that Lu Lian'er is intentionally targeting Xia Mian.
Shen Yingshuang was so angry with Lu Lian'er that she wanted to slap her a few times.
Looking again at how her sons were cherishing this fish eye like a pearl, she found it all utterly ridiculous!
"Mom, it's good that you understand now. They're just fooling you, trying to trick you out of your shares and money." Xia Mian's nose was still sore, and her eyes were frighteningly red.
"Mom understands." Shen Yingshuang patted Xia Mian's hand.
Throughout her life, she was spoiled and timid by her father, a pampered young lady who was untouched by worldly affairs.
Later, she got married and became the Xia family.
She also devoted herself wholeheartedly to being a good wife and mother.
She had always lived under the care and protection of her father and husband, making her weak and easily bullied.
She has always been gentle and delicate.
However, a mother's love makes her strong!
Thinking of all the grievances her daughter had suffered, all they did was bully her because her mother was in a coma. And then there was that old woman, Madam Xia.
Before she fell ill and was in a coma, this old woman loved to nitpick and find fault with her.
No matter how much she gives or how filial she is, it will all be described differently in this old woman's mouth!
You can find bones even in an egg.
Unexpectedly, she fell ill, and the old woman continued to pick fights with her daughter!
Now that she's awake, she must take good care of her daughter.
The shares and money she holds are her daughter's source of confidence!
"Get out of here, all of you!"
Old Madam Xia sized up Shen Yingshuang impatiently, her tone clearly lecturing. "Don't forget, you only regained consciousness because of Xia's medical resources! Do you even respect me as your mother-in-law?"
"Who gave you permission to speak to your mother-in-law like that?"
"Mom, if you were in charge and impartial, that would be fine, but look at me, your backside is obviously crooked." Thinking of the old woman's disgusting behavior, Shen Yingshuang no longer acted as an obedient and docile daughter-in-law as before.
"You favor this Lu Lian'er more than you favor your own granddaughter. If a person's heart is inherently biased, then sorry, I'll only favor my own flesh and blood, not those who have nothing to do with me!"
"You! You've really gone too far!" Old Madam Xia pointed at Shen Yingshuang and cursed, "Kneel down! Reflect on your actions!"
"Why should my mom kneel? The Qing Dynasty is long gone! Do you think we're living in ancient times?" Xia Mian stood in front of Shen Yingshuang, adopting a protective stance. "Anyone who dares to bully my mom, I'll fight them to the death!"
Mrs. Qiao curled her lip, "Do they really think he's still a hot commodity? Son! Let's go!"
"Mom, I'm willing to marry Lu Lian'er. Anyway, we have a marriage agreement with the Xia family. Which daughter of the Xia family can't we give this marriage agreement to?" Qiao Yusong felt an electric current running through his body whenever he thought of Lu Lian'er's endless tricks.
Although Lu Lian'er is of average appearance and not a great beauty, she is still passable.
The taste, in particular, is truly intoxicating.
Madam Qiao's closeness with Lu Lian'er was solely to spite Xia Mian. Xia Mian's anger brought her satisfaction, much like she had bullied Shen Yingshuang.
However, she didn't think much of Lu Lian'er at all. She was just an adopted daughter! Did she even deserve to enter the Qiao family's door?
