Rong’rong was at one side watching Madam Fu and Lin Shiyu clasp their hands together. There was a malicious glint in her beautiful, innocent eyes. Her hand bent, and the fruit knife promptly inflicted a wound on her hand.
Hiss.
Rong’rong moaned in pain.
“Ah, Rong’rong, what’s the matter with you?” Madam Fu hurriedly released Lin Shiyu’s hands and pressed on Rong’rong’s wound. “Rong’rong, how could you be so careless? You’re bleeding so much. Somebody, quick! Get the first aid box.”
The servant swiftly brought over the first aid box. Madam Fu frantically bandaged Rong’rong’s wound.
“Mom, I’m alright, I’m not in any pain.” Rong’rong looked at Madam Fu obediently. Even though she said that it was not painful, her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked very much in pain.
Madam Fu was heartbroken.
Lin Shiyu stood up. Her pretty almond-shaped eyes landed on Rong’rong’s wound. If she had not seen wrongly just now, Rong’rong had cut herself intentionally.
This woman was really vicious.
A person like her was psychologically unstable and mentally twisted.
Lin Shiyu turned around and went to the washroom.
…
In the washroom.
Lin Shiyu stood by the washstand washing her hands. At this moment, there was a thud as someone entered.
Lin Shiyu raised her eyes. It was Rong’rong.
Rong’rong walked into the washroom. Her beautiful face was as docile and innocent as always. “Sister-in-law, how are you, I am Rong’rong.”
Lin Shiyu’s pretty face was devoid of any expression. She raised her hand and swept her silky hair, and her voice was laced with indolence. “Is there anything that you want to speak to me about?”
“Sister-in-law, do you dislike me?”
Lin Shiyu curved her red lips and countered. “Why should I like you?”
Rong’rong’s face revealed that she was hurt by the words. She walked in and said softly. “I know that Sister-in-law dislikes me. I’m not like Sister-in-law, being borne to the Lin family. Even though you were chased out from the home when you were young, you still have a mother who dotes on you. I don’t have anything.
“I was brought back home by my adoptive parents, not to be a daughter, but to be a child bride. They had a son who was mentally retarded, and they raised me up to be the wife of this fool and to give birth to his children. I remember that when I was in my teens, my adoptive parents got me to sleep with that fool. That fool was older than me by seven or eight years, and when night fell, he would put his hands under my clothes to fondle me. When I resisted, that fool would wallop me viciously, and my adoptive parents would lock me up for a day, depriving me of food.
“They did not allow me to be highly educated, as they were afraid I would run away with some other man. I didn’t get to go to university. Ha, it turns out that I’m actually the princess of the powerful Fu Family in Karghalik, but my life was so wretched and miserable.”
After speaking, Rong’rong raised her head and looked at Lin Shiyu in the mirror. A sinister and malevolent smile played on her lips. “What’s the point of reuniting with the Fu family now? Who’s going to make up for all these years? But… whatever I want in the future, I will make sure they give it to me, including…”
Rong’rong did not complete her sentence, but Lin Shiyu was already able to guess, including… Fu Qinglun, right?
Lin Shiyu glanced at Rong’rong. She had already determined that this girl was mentally twisted due to growing up in an unhealthy, abusive environment.
And now, this girl was smiling at her, which made her hair stand on end.
Lin Shiyu turned off the faucet. She took the paper towel to dry her hands. “Are you done talking? Sorry, but I’m not interested in your story at all. If you want to continue your sob story, I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person.”
With that, Lin Shiyu turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Rong’rong stretched her hand out and grasped Lin Shiyu’s slender arm. “Sister-in-law, did I say you can go? I did not let you go, so how could you walk out?”
Rong’rong was pulling at Lin Shiyu aggressively, which rendered her unable to move.
This lunatic!
Lin Shiyu felt as thought she had been trapped by a venomous snake. She immediately pushed away Rong’rong’s hand.
“Ah!” Rong’rong gave a shrill cry and fell onto the floor.
At this moment, there was a bang and the door to the washroom opened. Madam Fu appeared at the door. “Rong’rong, was that you shouting… Ah, Rong’rong, what happened to you?”
Upon seeing that Rong’rong had fallen onto the floor, Madam Fu promptly ran inside and lifted Rong’rong up worriedly.
Rong’rong blinked her eyes and big droplets of tears cascaded down her face. She looked at Madam Fu pitifully. “Mom, don’t be mistaken. It was not Sister-in-law who had pushed me, I fell down myself.”
“…”
Lin Shiyu rolled her eyes immediately. The force that she exerted just now was not enough to push Rong’rong to the floor. Rong’rong had pretended to fall herself.
Madam Fu froze as she looked at Rong’rong’s incessant tears and instantly felt protective of her. She admonished Lin Shiyu. “Shiyu, why did you push Rong’rong? We can talk things over nicely. Why did you need to be aggressive? Rong’rong, are you hurt in any area? Does it hurt?”
Madam Fu checked on the wound on Rong’rong’s body worriedly.
Rong’rong raised her eyes and looked at Lin Shiyu. There was a mocking and satisfied smile on her face.
Lin Shiyu was standing when Rong’rong fell. She glanced at Rong’rong from the top. Faced with Rong’rong’s antics and sneering expression, Lin Shiyu was unwilling to concede defeat. She gradually curved her red lips, raised her arm and forcefully pinched her slender wrist in front of Rong’rong.
Lin Shiyu’s skin was delicate and fair, and it instantly became red after the pinch.
Rong’rong froze.
Lin Shiyu’s pretty face was emotionless. She looked at Madam Fu. “Mom, sorry to have caused all this unhappiness. I won’t be having dinner with you. I’ll take my leave now.”
Madam Fu immediately raised her head and pulled at Lin Shiyu’s hand. “Shiyu, Mom did not mean it….”
Hiss.
Lin Shiyu furrowed her pretty brows and groaned in pain.
Madam Fu instantly saw the red patch on Lin Shiyu’s wrist. She exclaimed in shock, “Shiyu, what happened to you here? Why is it red? Who hurt you?”
Madam Fu stopped talking suddenly. There was only Shiyu and Rong’rong in the washroom.
The answer was obvious.
Madam Fu looked at Rong’rong, who was still on the floor, then raised her eyes to look at Lin Shiyu.
Lin Shiyu’s pretty almond-shaped eyes were very clean and pristine. She withdrew her hand from Madam Fu’s grasp. “Mom, just take it as I have pushed Rong’rong. Perhaps I’m not welcomed here anymore. I’m leaving now.”
She left.
Before leaving, Lin Shiyu glanced at Rong’rong and a composed but sneering smile played on her pretty lips, exuding frostiness. Her graceful skirt brushed across Rong’rong’s awkward body.
All these years, she had been an honorable and high-principled person, but that did not mean that she was unaware of anything. She had seen plenty of scheming and deceitful antics from women.
She was good at singing and had some ability in acting. If Rong’rong wanted to go against her, then that woman would have to see if she was good enough to be her opponent.
“Shiyu!” Madam Fu called out forlornly.
Lin Shiyu did not turn her head and just kept walking. At this moment, the main door to the villa opened, and a gust of cold wind swept in. A tall and handsome figure entered her vision.
Fu Qinglun had arrived.
