Chapter 140: Teaching Liu Mei a Lesson (1)_1
"My kid was so lucky, he found a roe deer, but I haven’t even laid eyes on it because the Ruan Family swallowed it all. Tell me, is there any sense in that?"
"Your kid? You mean Xiu Cheng?" someone asked.
After all, she was always calling Xiu Xi a worthless dog; the kid she’s talking about now definitely wouldn’t be Xiu Xi.
The person asked seriously, but Liu Mei, feeling guilty, inadvertently heard a mocking tone.
She glared at the man: "I’m talking about my little kid!"
"Pfft..." Someone laughed disrespectfully: "Didn’t you call him a worthless dog? How come he’s suddenly ’your kid’ now?"
Others heard this and laughed even louder, laughing so hard that Liu Mei’s face turned purple with anger. She glared at them and shouted furiously, "What’s it to you, sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong? I’ll call him whatever I want!"
"Xiu Family’s... you’re wrong there. Weren’t you the one who called us in here? And now you’re saying it’s none of our business?"
"Exactly, Xiu Family’s... A stepmother needs to be kind; otherwise, be careful, the heavens will not turn a blind eye, tsk tsk..." The tone was only a step away from saying she would be struck by lightning.
Liu Mei was furious. She had called them in to speak for her, but before she could get a word in, they started to denounce her, turning her face green and white with anger.
What she didn’t know was that because of her usual arrogance and sharp tongue, meddling in everyone’s business, no one liked her. Plus, she had resorted to schemes to marry into the Xiu Family, and after giving birth to her son, she viciously wore down Xiu Xi, the eldest Xiu son. They all disdained such a two-faced woman.
