Chapter 78: Teaching Duan Yan a Lesson

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuan Shus expression was dark and her cold expression made people feel intimidated. The rope in her hand was still dripping with water.

She asked Shen Yi, who was panting beside her, coldly, What happened?

Shen Yi took a deep breath to calm his breathing. Then, he said aggrievedly, Mrs. Yuan came today to take the companys money. She even forced me to give her the companys official stamp, but the company no longer has money. We cant give the money to her!

With Duan Yans personality, how could she just stand there and listen to Shen Yi complain without retorting?

Before Shen Yi could finish speaking, Duan Yan immediately continued, What are you talking about? Im taking my familys money. Why cant you give it to me?! Youre telling me that such a big company doesnt have money? I think youre took it for yourself!

Shen Yis face flushed. He wasnt eloquent enough and couldnt win against the sharp-tongued Duan Yan at all, so he could only protect the official seal and remain silent.

Yuan Shu didnt have a good temper either. She had her own judgement, so she couldnt just watch Duan Yan distort the truth.

Yuan Shu didnt waste any time. With a flick of her wrist, she twisted the rope out of the fabric and threw it out. When the rope was wet, it would hurt when it hit someone.

Duan Yans arm that was holding the cheque book was. .h.i.t. With a bang, Duan Yan threw the cheque book to the ground in pain. Then, she quickly covered her arm with her other hand.

She shouted in a sharp voice, You brat, how dare you hit me?! The family raised you all these years, but not only did you not repay the family, but you also dared to hit me, your mother, in front of outsiders! I raised you painstakingly. Do you know any filial piety?!

Yuan Shu sneered and took a step forward, but Duan Yan was so frightened that she retreated. Her back hit the wall, and her facial features were distorted in pain.

Duan Yan had lingering fears. Why didnt she know that this prodigal daughter who spent all her time fooling around had such ruthless methods? She wasnt soft-hearted at all when she hit people.

Yuan Shu glanced at her and said ruthlessly, Madam Duan, I dont think I need to remind you at all times that youre not my biological mother because youre not related to me by blood.

Yuan Shu raised her wrist and rotated it. She had not trained her whip technique for a long time, so her technique was a little rusty. Just this whip was a little too much for her weak wrist. It seemed that the training intensity of her morning run every morning wasnt enough. She had to spend more time training her strength.

Duan Yan looked at Yuan Shu. She wasnt at all like the previous silly girl who could be manipulated by her with a few words. Now that Yuan Shu was standing in front of her, she actually felt oppressed and afraid.

Duan Yan felt apprehensive. Why did Yuan Shus personality suddenly change after getting married? She wouldnt take revenge for what happened in the past, would she?

Yuan Shu sneered as she recalled Yuan Shus life in the Yuan Family.

Less than half a month after her mother pa.s.sed away, her father welcomed the mistress into the house and turned a blind eye to her rejection. He bribed Yuan Shu with a card that had no spending limit.

Later on, Duan Yan even deceived Yuan Shu countless times. Yuan Shu was a shopaholic who didnt know anything about business. Many times, she asked Yuan Shu to sign the contract so that she could get money from Yushu Buyi to spend on herself.

As the saying went, the best way to destroy a person was to make her become a useless good-for-nothing.

Hence, Duan Yan had never interfered with Yuan Shus studies. She even protected Yuan Shu when Yuan Shus father hit her, which touched Yuan Shu and made her trust her stepmother even more.

As a result, Yuan Shu later became arrogant and willful. She had to get whatever she wanted even if she had to s.n.a.t.c.h it. After she fell in love with s.h.i.+ Xiao at first sight, she was adamant about marrying into the s.h.i.+ family even if she had to scam him into having a one-night stand with her.

Duan Yan had put on an act of a stepmother loving her daughter more than her own mother. For so many years, she had used this method to take large amounts of money from Yushu Buyi! Even at this critical moment, she dared to ask for money without any scruples.

How shameless!
