Chapter 174 Trouble at the Hou Family
Fang Cui stood by the table, spitting furiously as she cursed, "Zhao Xuefen, have you forgotten your days laboring to death as a pieceworker at the machinery factory? Su Ping, have you healed only to forget your pain, huh? Remember being cornered on the streets and beaten by a few youngsters until you were crying for daddy and howling for mommy, and now you strut around in front of us? Don’t you see what you’re worth?"
"Fang Cui!" Lin Ze Ping burst out in anger, "Shut your mouth!"
"Why should I shut up? Why should I?" Fang Cui retorted angrily, "Just look at this family. A wolf of the pack, once in power, becomes wild and arrogant. A little bit of money, and you think you’re up in the clouds. Do you really think my daughter has to marry into your family? I’ll tell you, you’re not worthy of her!"
"And what’s this about some girl, serving Su Yang in his daily life? Looks like a vixen, what else can she do besides seducing men? Taking care of Su Yang’s daily needs—isn’t that just raising a child bride? Oh, you’re not even married yet, and you’re planning to have my daughter as a concubine? Do you really think so highly of yourselves?"
"I tell you, this marriage is off. As long as I, Fang Cui, am alive, my daughter will never marry Su Yang. If she marries Su Yang, I’d die just to show her!"
Lin Qingru followed behind and quickly said, "Mom, what are you saying? How could I possibly marry Su Yang!"
"That’s my good daughter!" Fang Cui said, looking proud.
Lin Ze Ping trembled with rage and bellowed, "Fang Cui, get out!"
"Old Lin, don’t twist my arm here. How many years have we been together, and when have I not accommodated you? But with this matter, it’s impossible!" Fang Cui shouted loudly, "You don’t want me to stay, fine, we’ll go. Qingru, let’s leave. I can’t stand this dump for another minute!"
Fang Cui, leading Lin Qingru, stormed out aggressively, leaving behind a few people in the room exchanging awkward glances; the scene became extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
"Xiao Yang, Uncle Lin is sorry for what happened, I will definitely give them a good lesson when I get back!" Lin Ze Ping said.
