“Shut up, you old slut! This is none of your business!!!” Long Hui roared at Wei Lan.
“You!” Wei Lan was insulted. She looked like she was about to hit him with her curling iron.
Jiang Ying Yue couldn’t take it anymore. She burst into tears.
Clover was finally able to squeeze herself through the crowd in the living room. She took Little Jun from Jiang Ying Yue and then told her in a low voice, “My brother just messaged me. Boss and sir boss are already on their way here.”
Before leaving, Clover glared at Long Hui and cursed at him in Filipino. Of course, nobody understood what she said but they knew that they were curse words based on her angry expression. After that, Clover took Little Jun to the penthouse. Yi Mei, the cook and some of the other household staff followed her, while the rest stayed with Jiang Ying Yue and Wei Lan.
When they were gone, Jiang Ying Yue faced the crazed Long Hui. She felt like she was looking at a stranger—a hostile stranger.
“What do you mean, Hui? You want to take my son away from me? You can’t do that! I’m his mother!!!” she cried.
“And I’m his father! You’ve already taken him away from me! I made so much effort to be with you but you always reject me! Even so, I still persisted because I love you and I want to have a complete, legitimate family with you and our son! But you’re so selfish! You only think about your own feelings! You don’t even consider about what’s good for our son! Just because you’re not in good terms with my relatives, you deprive my son of his chance to become legitimate! And now all of us are suffering because of it!!!”
Jiang Ying Yue had no response because there was some truth to what he said.
But what did he want her to do? Endure his relatives’ insults to her dignity while he remained comfortable in his position as heir? He wanted her to be the only one to sacrifice for all of them? And it wasn’t only her. She was certain that her son would also suffer from the Long relatives’ bullying because of her “lowly” status as the mother.
“No no no! I told you I never cheated on you. I still love you, Hui. Believe me. Please listen to me…” she pleaded to him.
“You’re lying!” He refused to listen to her.
Wei Lan interrupted them at this point. She turned to Jiang Ying Yue.
“Why are you begging this son of bi—I mean, this villain?! You stupid girl, if he doesn’t want to believe you, then it’s not your fault. He has already insulted you so much, yet you’re still telling him you love him? How pathetic! If dear Liwei did this to my daughter, she would’ve already cut his penis off and shoved it down his throat—I mean, she would’ve already left him and erased his existence from her life! If a man treats you like shi—I mean, if a man treats you unfairly, then he doesn’t deserve your love! Stop being stupid, girl! Grow a spine and leave him! You don’t need a man to raise your child!”
Then she quickly added, “You don’t need a man to raise a child, but make sure that he still pays child support. After all, you can’t raise a child in this highly commercialized society we live in without money. You can’t feed your son with your love alone. You need money to buy food, you know. Yes, money is veeeeeery important! Believe me, I know.”
It was extremely difficult for Wei Lan to change her speech style and to prevent herself from speaking in her usual coarse language. However, she did her best to control herself and to act like a proper viscountess, even though all she wanted was to beat the shit out of the man insulting Jiang Ying Yue who she now considered as her own protégé.
Long Hui’s hatred for Wei Lan only intensified after hearing what she was teaching Jiang Ying Yue to do. He sneered at Jiang Ying Yue.
“Go and listen to that slut! No wonder you’ve turned into a slut as well! I don’t want a dirty, cheating woman who has fucked another man while still in a relationship! You disgust me, Ying Yue!”
Jiang Ying Yue marched towards him and slapped him hard on the face. The sound was so loud and sharp. Everyone in the unit heard it. She didn’t hold back. Even Jin Liwei’s subordinates who were restraining Long Hui winced a bit.
“Fine! If that’s what you think about me, then it’s better if we separate once and for all! From now on, we’re no longer in a relationship!” Jiang Ying Yue shouted at him while tears gushed down her face. Then she pulled the engagement ring from her finger and threw it at him.
The ring hit him in the chest and fell down to the floor, rolling in front of the coffee table before stopping alongside the fallen photos of Jiang Ying Yue, Little Jun and Lin Yehan.
Long Hui’s raging fury transformed into a cold one. His contorted angry face smoothed into a frozen mask of ice.
“You’ll regret this, Jiang Ying Yue. I’ll make you regret this,” he warned her in a dangerous tone.
She faltered a bit before her mind played all of the insults that he threw at her. Then her heart turned cold.
“No, Long Hui. You’re the one who’ll regret this.”
