“You… you transferred my family’s a.s.sets behind my back? Do you think I won’t call the police on you?” Mrs. Rong Sr. pushed herself off the ground, glaring at her.
w.a.n.g Qing chuckled coldly. “Go ahead, call them. Let’s see what you can do to me. But before you make that call, maybe you should think about how you’ll survive in this dog-eat-dog city without me!”
With that, w.a.n.g Qing turned to leave. Just as she was about to go, Mrs. Rong Sr. lunged at w.a.n.g Qing, grabbing her leg and biting down hard.
“Ah!” w.a.n.g Qing winced in pain and yanked Mrs. Rong Sr.’s hair back.
“You decrepit hag, are you asking for death?” w.a.n.g Qing glared at her, eyes wrapped in bandages, making her appear particularly menacing, as if she could devour Mrs. Rong Sr. alive.
Mrs. Rong Sr. cradled her scalp and looked pitifully at w.a.n.g Qing, her once-doting daughter-in-law. “w.a.n.g Qing, you weren’t always like this. You used to be so attentive and considerate. You’d comfort me when Chu Jing upset me, you’d cook to please me. How did you become like this? Have you forgotten all the promises you made? You said you didn’t care about fame or wealth; you said you wanted to take care of me and Tianshi.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Rong Sr. crawled closer. w.a.n.g Qing couldn’t help but chuckle at her naivete. w.a.n.g Qing aimed a kick at Mrs. Rong Sr.’s midsection. “Should I call you naive or just stupid? Chu Jing was born into a prestigious family, reserved and unique. You envied her, sure, but she died young, didn’t she? And you had a wonderful daughter-in-law like her, but you chose to compete with her instead. Isn’t that how I got a chance with your son?”
w.a.n.g Qing’s voice oozed with sarcasm as she thought of Chu Jing. She had only met her once—the night she was caught cheating. She had thought her life was over, but to her surprise, Chu Jing never came after her again, leading w.a.n.g Qing to both despise and feel threatened by her.
w.a.n.g Qing continued, “You said I’m mad? You were so easily manipulated against Chu Jing. I’ve got to thank you for that; it gave me a chance to show you what she was doing behind your back.”
At this point, Tianshi, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
“What are you talking about? Wasn’t she having an affair?” Mrs. Rong Sr. was the first to ask.
w.a.n.g Qing knew Tianshi was listening and couldn’t help but feel triumphant. “Oh, you only saw her with that man because of the angle. You were sick and nearly blind at the time, remember?”
“I do. Wasn’t that when you prayed before the divine healer for three days and nights to save me?” Mrs. Rong Sr.’s voice trembled.
w.a.n.g Qing burst into laughter. “You believed that? I had someone anonymously tip off Chu Jing, urging her to save you. She was a healer, and she probably needed some medicinal ingredients. That’s why she got close to the miner..”
