Chapter 14, Call Me Madam Queen
Xu Wendong’s face turned red with embarrassment, but he had no way to argue back. Because Lin Yiren was right, this was the storage room in their house, and she didn’t need his permission to enter her own storage room.
"Xu Wendong, you need to be clear about your identity and status in this house. In my eyes, you are no different from these miscellaneous items. If I choose to use you, consider it an honor; if not, you’re just something dispensable. Even if I kick you out of the house, what could you do?" Lin Yiren had an air of superiority. She enjoyed the feeling of mocking Xu Wendong with her words, giving her a strange pleasure.
"Just because you once had improper thoughts about me, I could tell your brother about it, make the two of you turn against each other, and then kick you out of the house."
"If that really happened, when I return to the village and say a few words against you, you wouldn’t just be ruined yourself; even your deceased grandfather’s reputation would get tarnished."
"So, one must have awareness. Some words can be said, and some should remain buried in you, understand?" She wanted to take the opportunity to warn Xu Wendong, preventing him from leaking today’s events.
"Sister-in-law, you’re right. I know what to do now." Xu Wendong lowered his head in shame.
He was angry.
Resentful.
But being under someone else’s roof, and with dirt held over him, he didn’t dare retaliate.
Just then.
Lin Yiren received a video call from her husband, instantly changing her expression to a charming smile before pressing the answer button. "Hubby, don’t worry, I’m just about to take Wendong to report at the People’s Hospital."
