Qian Jinfeng went back home stewing in her anger.
When she returned, she washed an apple and handed it to Li Wei, “Mom just went to see Ni Yang.”
Li Wei was surprised, “What did you go to see her for?”
“I told her to stop bothering you! But Ni Yang just scolded me, even saying that you’re the one who always seek her out! Xiaowei! Can we have some dignity? Listen to mom, don’t go looking for her anymore, okay?”
Qian Jinfeng embellished the story of what had just happened and told Li Wei.
Li Wei remained silent.
Qian Jinfeng continued, “Your job right now is to study hard, so that you can get into a good university next year. That Ni Yang will surely come begging to you! At that time, when she does, we can kick her far, far away! That’ll be revenge for mom!”
After a long silence, Li Wei finally spoke, “Mom, did Ni Yang really say that?”
Qian Jinfeng responded grumpily, “I’m your mom! Would I lie to you?”
Li Wei then said, “Okay mom, I understand, I will definitely get into a good university, for your sake!”
Hearing this, Qian Jinfeng responded with satisfaction, “Good, good, you are my good son.”
Lin Pingping was aimlessly wandering the streets when she saw a familiar figure.
Is that…
Hong Bin?
Who is that pregnant woman standing behind Hong Bin?
After being married into the Hong Family for over ten years, Pingping understood the family well enough to know that the woman wasn’t a relative. Moreover, Hong Bin was being particularly affectionate with her, which was not the typical behaviour between friends or relatives.
Her usually strict parents-in-law were full of smiles, talking happily with the woman. The family of four seemed very cheerful.
No wonder…
No wonder they’ve stopped calling her a chicken that can’t lay eggs…
Turns out they’ve found a chicken that can lay eggs.
Disbelieving, Lin Pingping took a few steps back and couldn’t help but crouch down and sob quietly.
With the way things had turned out, she couldn’t blame anyone else.
All she could blame was herself for not being able to give the Hong family a grandson after all these years.
Not only had she failed to provide them with a grandson, she wasn’t even able to save face in the end.
Her life was a total failure.
After a long time, Lin Pingping numbly got up, her legs felt like jelly, and she tottered back home in a daze.
When she got home and looked at her disfigured face in the mirror, no trace of her former vitality and spirit could be found.
What had she been holding onto all these years?
Lin Pingping gave a scornful smile at her reflection in the mirror.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Hong Bin strode in angrily, “Lin Pingping, I heard from Yueyue that you spent all your bonus last month on your face, is that true?”
“Yes,” Lin Pingping nodded.
Hearing this, Hong Bin exploded in fury, “You know the situation at home! You’re spending money recklessly! Do you really think your face can be fixed? I’m telling you, your face is beyond repair!”
Lin Pingping picked up her bag, put the anti-acne cream from her dressing table into it, and walked out.
“Stop! Where are you going?”
Lin Pingping turned around; her face was so calm it was almost lifeless, “I’m going to my aunt’s house.”
“To borrow money.”
Hearing the last four words, Hong Bin immediately put on a gentle facade, “Then you should go quickly. It’s getting late, do you want me to accompany you?”
“No need, I can go by myself.” Lin Pingping’s voice was soft.
Hong Bin didn’t insist, anyway, the Mo Family were all snobs looking down on others. Apart from their money, they were good for nothing. It was better not to go.
When Lin Pingping passed by the living room, her in-laws naturally didn’t give her a friendly look.
After a long day’s work, Ni Yang rode her bicycle home.
Just as she was nearing her house, Ni Yang heard a “plop.”
It sounded like something heavy had fallen into the water.
From Ni Yang’s years of experience, it was clear that someone had fallen into the water.
Ni Yang quickly jumped off her bike and ran to the riverbank. In the faint moonlight, sure enough, she saw someone struggling in the water.
Without any hesitation, Ni Yang dove into the water, grabbed that person around the waist, and started swimming towards the shore with all her might.
Luckily, Ni Yang was a good swimmer, and in no time, she had reached the shore.
