“I was so innocent and stupid then too,” Mrs. Yue laughed at herself. “I thought that it was because you were young—perhaps you would grow wiser with age. But you didn’t. Instead, you became more and more outrageous the older you grew. I don’t want to detail everything you’ve done from before you got married. I would lose my face. I can’t put it into words; it’s too disgusting, too revolting.”


  Mrs. Helan could not open her eyes, but her expression was still feral. “Su Ningmei, on what basis do you slander me? What right do you have to judge me?” she snarled. “Yes, you’re the darling daughter of the Su family. If you wanted anything, you didn’t even have to lift a hand—someone else would serve it on a silver platter in front of you. As for me, you keep calling me your younger sister, but you see me as nothing more than a minion. If you really thought of me as a younger sister, you would have let me have some of your inheritance! The Su family dowry from when you got married was tremendous. And me—what did I have? I only had two small, insignificant companies to my name. You, the Sus, wronged me. I will hold a grudge against you for the rest of my life!”


  Yan Qingsi heard this and smiled. “I see you are f*cking crazy, woman. Someone called you a sister and she should share part of her inheritance with you? What twisted logic is this? Why should anyone give anything to you? What is your surname? Zhang. Do you think that you would have been able to marry into the Helan family if the Su family hadn’t raised you? Yet you still want part of the Sus’ inheritance. Are you retarded? The Su family raised a venomous snake—a greedy snake that doesn’t know how to be grateful and is hateful because she received less. If you weren’t in the Su family, you wouldn’t even have your two small companies—you wouldn’t have gotten a single f*cking cent.”


  Mrs. Helan’s ridiculous words did not just disgust Yan Qingsi—they shocked a lot of people as well.

  This sort of logic……was amazingly ridiculous!

  Was gratitude not the first thing one would feel after being raised by someone else? Yet she, someone irrelevant to the family, still had the gall to ask for part of their inheritance. This line of thinking was truly bewildering.

  Mrs. Yue cast a wrathful glare at Mrs. Helan. “If I had known that you would be so ungrateful now, I would have let your grandmother bring you to the village long ago. You were in my house for so many years! If I had raised even a dog, it would have been better than you! Yet you go about inviting trouble. If I don’t return the favor, I would never forgive myself.”


  “What more do you want from me?” Mrs. Helan shrieked.

  Mrs. Yue turned her head. “Helan Mingde, don’t think I’m only talking about days long past,” she said. “This issue is far from over.”


  Helan Mingde’s expression was shocked beyond description now. Far from over……what did she mean?

  Mrs. Helan truly began to panic. “Su Ningmei, you shut up. You b*tch……Shut up. You’re slandering me, you’re slandering me……”


  “It doesn’t matter if I’m slandering you. I’m just speaking the truth,” Mrs. Yue chuckled. “During all your years of marriage with Helan Mingde, you never broke off your relationship with that Year 12 class teacher.”


  Mrs. Yue raised her head to look at Helan Mingde. “For all the years you were married, your wife has been with that teacher for more. Your wife cheats on you in your own home every time you go on a business trip. Still, that is not the worst of it; the point is that you have to earn enough money to support your wife, and……support the other man your wife has outside. So unfair! If you don’t believe me, you can go check on your wife—she has bank accounts under multiple aliases. She’s given plenty of money to Wu Guodong. Helan Mingde, there’s nothing but a huge green hat on your head after all these years. Congratulations! You can go start a farm.”
