âOops! Then again, itâs only natural that you lack such awareness! Your shamelessness is what I admire you for.â The little guy paused, then added in disgust, âMy parents finally have the chance to spend some quality time with each other, but you just have to come clinging onto them like a third wheel; how annoying!â
Rong Xuan was thoroughly antagonized by now!
No one had ever insulted her to this extent, let alone by a mere child!
Tugging her lips back, she scoffed. âThick skin? Shameless? What poor upbringing you have! Thatâs understandable, though. Your mother is only a commoner, so what superior upbringing could she possibly provide you? Even though you have inherited Brother Zheâs good looks, youâre the same as your mother on the inside!â
A pin drop silence ensued, followed by a loud, resounding slap that came sans a warning!
The actress had delivered a tight slap across her face.
âRong Xuan, Iâm warning you: Mind the way you talk to my son!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As she held her stinging cheek, she stared at the other wide-eyed in disbelief and fury!
âYou slapped me?!â
The other merely retorted, âYou deserved it for speaking so vulgarly.â
Furious, the young lady raised her hand and swung her arm to slap her back, only to be stopped in the nick of time. The mother of two kids had deftly caught her arm and gripped it so tightly that she was unable to break free despite her fierce yet vehement struggle.
She gnashed her teeth in exasperation. âYouâd better unhand me right now!â
âAnd youâd better behave yourself!â Yun Shishi leaned toward her and gave her a bland, expressionless smirk. âWhat? Arenât you all smug over being his childhood friend? If Iâm a commoner who deserves commendation for my courage, what are you? You know very well that he now has a happy family, yet youâre still clinging to him; just what motives do you have?!â
âYun Shishi!â yelled the lady out of indignation. âYou donât deserve Brother Zhe!â
âI donât?!â
âYouâre just a commoner. Donât you know the rules of the rich? Theyâre forbidden from marrying commoners! Who do you think you are? On what basis are you worthy of him?! I wouldnât have said anything had he married some other rich missy, but a commoner like you? Why did he have to marry you?!â screamed Rong Xuan, who was all flushed in the face, as she poured out her resentment hotly.
At the mention of her sore spot, she began speaking in a brash and unfiltered manner. âDidnât you say that youâre an actress? How clean and decent women from the showbiz could be? I bet you resorted to trickery and enchantment to bewitch him into falling for you!â
Smack!
Once again, Yun Shishi slapped her sans hesitation.
Hot, grievous tears poured down the womanâs face as she raised her voice, yelling in anger, âWhy the hell did you slap me?!â
âBecause of your uncouth mouth!â She then grabbed the ladyâs collar and pulled her close before enunciating frigidly, âLet me tell you this: In this world, no other woman but me is worthy of that man, nor are they more worthy of him than I do! Hear that?â
Those words were spoken in a forceful and firm manner, and the actress, at this moment, was looking all charming, haughty, and mesmerizing.
