âWhen Ye Nanshenâs parents were still in charge, all of us had to look to them for cues. Now that theyâre gone, we are bullied by their son. When will this end?â Ms. Liu said.
A fierce glint flashed in Mrs. Ye Sr.âs eyes. She said, âDonât worry, it wonât be long. Ye Nanshen is short-lived. I refuse to believe he can cause any more trouble!â
Hearing that, Ms. Liuâs lips curled into a triumphant smile.
A moment later, Mrs. Ye Sr. said, âTake my Buddha statue and place it in the backyard. I want to worship it daily.â
âYes, Mother. Leave it to me,â Ms. Liu replied.
After Ms. Liu left, Liang Silai also made her exit.
In this family, Liang Silai had little status and always followed Ms. Liuâs lead. However, just as Liang Silai stepped out of the living room, Ms. Liu suddenly turned around and slapped her hard.
Liang Silai, holding her cheek, said nothing.
With many servants around who heard the commotion, they all looked their way.
Liang Silai felt utterly humiliated, her face turning red to the roots of her neck.
Ms. Liu, seeing Liang Silaiâs reaction, became even angrier, âStop pretending! Minghang isnât here; who are you putting on this pitiful act for? Oh, you think just because you maintain your face well? Let me tell you, when you grow old and lose your looks, your fate will be worse than mine! Shameless b*tch! Donât follow me, you jinx!â
After her tirade, Ms. Liu left with her head held high.
Liang Silai stood there, her feelings complicated, her hands clenched. She had endured enough over the years. She always conceded, but Ms. Liu grew increasingly arrogant.
Liang Silai touched her belly, a bitter smile on her face. She thought it was fate, after all.
Once the burning sensation on her face subsided, Liang Silai turned to head in another direction.
With Ms. Liu in a foul mood, Liang Silai would only end up as a punching bag. So, Liang Silai thought it was better to find a quiet place to sit.
âMs. Liang.â
Just as Liang Silai reached a secluded spot, someone followed her.
Liang Silai turned to see Fan Hui, her face instantly brightening into a warm smile. Liang Silai greeted, âOh, itâs Mrs. Fan. Is there something you need?â
Seeing Fan Hui carrying several packages, Liang Silaiâs bitterness deepened, âThose must be for Rong Qi, right? She is so fortunate, doted on and protected by Nanshen.â
âUnlike meâ¦â Liang Silai thought.
Liang Silai didnât realize her tone carried a hint of envy. True enough, she envied Rong Qi.
Even though targeted by the Ye family, Rong Qi had a husband who truly cared for her, which was more than enough. The attitude of the in-laws towards a daughter-in-law is always determined by the husband. It was Ye Nanshenâs favoritism towards Rong Qi that made Mrs. Ye Sr. and Ms. Liu wary. In contrast to Liang Silaiâs own dignity being trampled upon, Rong Qi lived freely and boldly.
Fan Hui, holding the supplements, also smiled, âMaster Shen and his wife share a young and loving bond, supporting each other. It is indeed enviable. But Ms. Liang, donât be too hard on yourself. Sometimes happiness is in our own hands.â
Hearing that, Liang Silai looked up at Fan Hui, a hint of confusion on Liang Silaiâs face. Liang Silai asked, âWhat do you mean by that, Mrs. Fan?â
Fan Hui, not wanting to say too much, simply replied, âMaster Minghang is cold, Master Shaochen is arrogant, and Master Shaoxian is frivolous; none are favored by Master Minghang. Now, as Minghang ages, if there were another child, he might cherish it more. Oh, Iâve spoken too much. Please donât overthink it, Ms. Liang. I need to deliver these supplements to Ms. Rong now.â THUD!
Mrs. Fan was preparing to leave and suddenly stopped by Liang Silai, who knelt before her..
