Chapter 112: Just Wait
"Sheng Shulan, it was clearly your youngest daughter-in-law who started this. It’s wrong for her to hit someone—"
"I don’t care. You have to give me an explanation, or else—"
Mrs. Zhao hadn’t even finished her threat when Mrs. Qin cut her off. "Or else what? Hah. You start a fight you can’t win, and then you come crying to me? That’s rich, coming from you."
"And let me make one thing clear right now. Your daughter has been bothering my daughter-in-law time and time again—"
Mrs. Qin had an even worse temper than Mrs. Zhao, and she was even angrier.
This really infuriated the Zhao mother and daughter.
"Nonsense! My daughter was just having Tian Jia ask your daughter-in-law to talk about what happened last time. She just attacked her out of nowhere! Tian Jia, come here and tell her what really happened—"
Tian Jia’s expression stiffened.
She hadn’t expected to be put on the spot so quickly.
She forced herself to step forward.
"—Auntie, Sisi really did just want to ask her to come over. We didn’t expect her to just lash out with a kick—"
Mrs. Zhao’s arrogance instantly flared. "Sheng Shulan, did you hear that? My daughter wanted to talk things out nicely, but your daughter-in-law just attacked her! This time, she must apologize to my daughter. Otherwise, I won’t let this go."
Mrs. Qin was about to speak, but Fu Mingxue beat her to it. "Have you said enough?"
Mrs. Zhao’s eyes went wide. "You, you—"
She turned to Mrs. Qin. "Sheng Shulan, are you hearing this? Listen to what your daughter-in-law is saying!"
Fu Mingxue sneered, "Don’t you have ears? Did you not hear what I just said? If you didn’t, I’ll repeat myself: have you said enough?"
Mrs. Zhao’s face turned livid with rage. "You—you have no manners—"
"Manners are for people. Some just don’t deserve them. After all, if they have no manners themselves, why should they expect others to show them any? Are they worthy?"
"Besides, I’m standing right here. If you have a problem, take it up with me. Why are you bothering my mother-in-law?"
"I’m the one who hit your daughter, and she deserved it. Three of them cornered me, trying to jump me. Hah. The state she’s in now is just because she was outmatched. And you still have the nerve to blame the victim? How shameless can you get."
"You really think you can just say whatever you want and it becomes the truth? There were plenty of people there who saw and heard everything! This is Beijing City, not a place where the Zhao family can do whatever they please."
"If you don’t like it, then go ahead and call the police! I’d love to see what’s so wrong with self-defense. Hah. I shouldn’t have gone so easy on her. I should have knocked a few of her teeth out."
"And another thing—I don’t start trouble, but if someone insists on picking a fight, they can’t blame me for ’excessive’ self-defense and for being ruthless. After all, fists don’t have eyes."
"You, you—" Mrs. Zhao’s eyes were red with anger.
She desperately wanted to march over and slap the little bitch a few times.
"Stop ’you-ing’ and ’me-ing’. If you don’t like it, call the police. Otherwise, stop whining and get out of here. Don’t you know how annoying you are? Now, get lost."
"You, you—" Mrs. Zhao glared at Mrs. Qin. "Sheng Shulan, are you just going to let her act like this?"
"I don’t think my daughter-in-law did anything wrong. If you don’t like it, then call the police. We’ll let them handle it however they see fit."
Mrs. Qin’s words made her stance perfectly clear.
She was on her youngest daughter-in-law’s side.
"Fine! Call the police, then!" Mrs. Zhao seethed.
Fu Mingxue smirked. "Go on, then. Hurry up."
Mrs. Zhao: ...?
’Not afraid, are you? Just you wait.’
"Sisi, let’s go."
Zhao Sisi was furious.
’So, did I come all this way for nothing again?’
She shot Fu Mingxue a venomous glare before turning to follow her mother out.
Seeing this, Tian Jia and Li Hong quickly followed.
Both of them were filled with deep regret—they never expected the Qin Family to be so resolute in defending that woman.
