Miao Xinyuan was a good combatant to begin with. But at that moment, when Yan Huan said that she was going to sue her and report her to the police, she was suddenly stunned. So, she kept on taking Ye Shuyun’s punches and blows. Even now, she still could not react. Moreover, Ye Shuyun was no simple person. The Ye family was bandits generations ago, thus, none of them were physically untrained. When Ye Shuyun was young, she was also a ferocious fighter.
Ye Shuyun got on top of Miao Xinyuan, slapping across her face directly, almost knocking her out. And all this time, she was still scolding her.
“I don’t know which wh*re gave birth to you, bi*ch, even if my son wants to marry a man, it would be better than marrying someone as ugly as you, pighead. You’re some girl without beauty and figure, yet you find yourself a goddess? You want to be my daughter? Pooh! If I really gave birth to a shameless daughter like you, I’ll strangle you to death! Our Lu Yi is from a good family. Only a blind would marry you!”
Lu Jin facepalmed, “Oh my god, how many years have gone by already?”
The harder Ye Shuyun hit, the harsher the words that came from her mouth, insulting not only the daughter, but her mother as well.
“Pull them apart, pull them apart, Miao!” The wife shouted, tugging at Miao Xinyuan’s father’s sleeves while asking for help from the people around. But everyone around here belonged to the Lu family. Old Master Lu was almost shocked silly at the sight. Lu Qin and his mother naturally did not care about them. Moreover, it was better for them if she was beaten to death. This girl from somewhere unknown seemed to seek after Lu’s inheritance. For sure, they did not want their inheritance to be divided for another person. Now, there was this girl that suddenly appeared, which of course made them even more unhappy.
Of course, Lu Yi and Lu Jin were behind Ye Shuyun’s back. When Lu Jin saw that it was almost going overboard, he went forward and pulled Ye Shuyun back.
“Alright, stop it.”
“Pooh!” Ye Shuyun ignored her image and spat a mouthful of saliva onto Miao Xinyun’s fresh face.
Yan Huan blinked.
Gosh, how fierce. She walked over, and intentionally or unintentionally stepped on Miao Xinyuan’s finger with her heels.
“Ouch!” Miao Xinyuan screamed and sat up, covering her own fingers. Her entire face was swollen up.
Madam Miao rushed over quickly in tears and hugged her daughter, lamenting how useless Mr Miao was.
But what could he do. He just hoped that his family could leave the Lu’s house as soon as possible and never come back again. He felt like they were a bunch of crazies, every one of them. God granddaughter? I don’t even want to be a godfather.
He dragged his wife and daughter, taking them away from here.
Yan Huan looked away, half of her face was still swollen.
“You can run from a monk, but not from the temple. See you at the police station.”
“Sure,” Lu Yi touched Yan Huan’s face gently. “You don’t have to get a lawyer, just see me at the prosecutor’s office.”
“You beat my daughter badly and you still want to report to the authorities? Is there justice in this world?” Madam Miao screamed hysterically.
Ye Shuyun rolled her sleeves and raised her chin at Madam Miao, “I can do worse. Your daughter is ugly, thanks to how ugly you are. Even my son is prettier than your daughter. I want my grandchildren to be beautiful, not ugly, or I will lose face before others.”
Madam Miao was so agitated that her blood rushed to her head. She pointed at Ye Shuyun, but could not say a word.
Ye Shuyun tidied up her shirt, and now she looked like a noblewoman again.
“What do you want?”
Mr Miao turned around and asked Lu Jin, “General Lu, we are all soldiers. No matter what my daughter did, she has paid her price, and your wife has even gave her a beating, isn’t that enough.”
“That’s your own problem,” Lu Jin squinted. He did not feel like his son and Ye Shuyun had done anything wrong, they were right in the first place.
Living in this world, one must prioritize themselves over others.
Lu Yi lifted Yan Huan’s face, no one could see the things hidden in his dark pupils. Enough? No, how would that be enough, even a lifetime wouldn’t be enough.
“Does it hurt?” He asked Yan Huan, “Why did you let her slap you? Why would you do something that harm yourself.”
“Ouch,” Yan Huan pouted. “I don’t care, I will definitely sue her. Mom can have her own revenge, but I haven’t have mine yet.”
“What do you want?” Mr Miao asked Yan Huan, “As long as you will let my daughter go.”
“Hmm…” Yan Huan played with her own fingers, “I heard that you have a genuine Wu Daozi’s painting, right?”
Mr Miao’s lips twitched. Lu Jin also thought of something, and his palm turned sweaty.
This was a cruel move, an absolutely savage move. She dared to asked for a national treasure!
But Yan Huan’s smile was still innocent, as if she did not feel the pain of the cut she made on other’s heart. Well, she was not the one hurting. She liked to find pleasure in other’s pain. It was Miao Xinyuan’s fault for aiming for her husband. She had missed Lu Yi once for a lifetime. Now that they were finally married, how could she allow someone else to covet her husband?
She would make anyone who eyed her husband remember this pain.
Actually, she heard that the Miao’s had Wu Daozi’s genuine painting from someone else. She even forgot who said it. But she knew another painting of his was auctioned at a sky-high price. She knew that the painting was the Miao’s heirloom. Now she wanted to know if he wanted to keep his painting, or to save his daughter.
After a long pause, Mr Miao looked up. He felt like blood was gushing out of his heart. He clenched his teeth, the pain was almost unbearable.
“Okay, I promise you, I will send the painting here tomorrow. Can we leave now?”
“Please,” Yan Huan’s smile was bright as always. Only when the Miao’s had left, she pouted again.
“Can you stop pinching my face, it’s so swollen already!” She pointed at the half which was slapped. “Wasn’t it a steal? I exchanged half of my face for her entire swollen face, and also a Wu Daozi’s painting! Hmm, what do you think, Dad? Take the painting as a compensation for you and Mom’s moral damages. Both of you were shocked because of them, after all.”
