“Since Aunty wants to know, I will not be sparing with my words. Starting today, I will have nothing whatsoever to do with the Ling family. If you or your son make trouble for me again, I will make you pay, not only for this, but also for all the suffering that you’ve inflicted on me in the past.”
Yan Tingting was secretly happy. Did that mean that Ling Xiusi had finally dumped Yan Susu for good? That they would no longer have anything to do with each other?
“What did you just say? How dare you talk to me like that? You minx. Six years ago, you created such a scandal for the Ling family when you disappeared from the wedding venue. Then you turned up again after having given birth to someone else’s child, causing my son to transform into a totally different person.
“I have never seen a woman like you, so shameless, thick-skinned, and disgusting. And now, you have the audacity to talk back to me like an ill-bred brat?” Madam Ling was raging mad as she looked at Yan Susu with increasing disgust.
“I have no idea what had happened to me six years ago. I already explained myself but none of you chose to believe me, and there is not much I can do about that. However, I have never betrayed Ling Xiusi nor did I ever want to embarrass the Ling family, causing them to lose face.
“As for what really happened six years ago, you should ask that good girl by your side, Yan Tingting, and that wonderful mother of hers. That’s all I have to say. Goodbye.”
Having said her piece, Yan Susu grabbed onto her two best friends and proceeded to walk away.
“Stay right where you are. Who said that you could leave?” shouted Madam Ling, who was livid that Yan Susu had just disregarded her.
Turning around, Yan Susu asked, “Madam Ling, have you anything to add?”
“Stay away from my son forever. Someone as trashy as you is no match for my son!”
“Trashy?” Yan Susu laughed sarcastically. Although she had heard that word thousands of times over the past six years, it stung just as much every single time.
“Honourable Madam Ling, before you abuse me, why not take a look at your son? Are you even aware of the number of girls that your son, the dirty womanizer, has bedded in the past six years? I don’t even need you to tell me to leave him because I intend to do so anyway. I certainly don’t want to catch any disease from him.”
“You…”
“Oh, right…Since Madam Ling wants me to leave your son, shouldn’t you pay up? Otherwise, where will I find another cushy gold mine once I have left him?”
In the past six years, she had successfully closed many business deals for the Ling family, making them heaps of money. In the process, she had suffered so much that she could not even remember the specifics.
So her departure should not come cheap for the Ling family.
At that, Madam Ling’s fury turned into contempt and disdain as she sneered, “And there I was wondering why you had suddenly developed morals. But all this was just a roundabout way to ask for money.”
“But of course. I was kicked out of the Yan family by Yan Tingting and that excellent mother of hers. Being penniless, I was totally dependent on financial support from that wonderful son of yours. Now that I’m leaving him, I’m afraid that I may not be able to go on living.
“Come to think of it, I really should not leave. Xiao Yu, An Ran, quick, help me move back in. I want to cling onto Ling Xiusi for dear life.”
He Xiaoyu and An Ran were laughing in their hearts, happy to see that the Yan Susu they had known had come back to them!
“Stay right there!” Madam Ling looked like she was about to puke in Yan Susu’s greedy face as she sputtered, “Tell me, how much do you want?”
“One million.”
“What?”
“I said, I want one million dollars.” That was small change compared to the money that she had earned for the Ling family.
“Yan Susu, you’re going too far!”
“Madam Ling, your son is the heir to the Ling family business. Once I’m pregnant with his child and marry into the Ling family, the entire fortune of the Lings would be mine, and that would be worth a lot more than one million…Oh yes, why am I being so stupid? Xiao Yu, An Ran, quickly; let’s move back inside!”
Since Madam Ling hated her so much and, judging by the dynamics, it was obvious that she intended to make Yan Tingting her daughter-in-law, it was clear that she would never allow Yan Susu to move back in.
“Stay right there!” Madam Ling yelled, her face thunderous. Although reluctant, she nonetheless wrote a check for one million dollars and threw it in Yan Susu’s face.
“Take the money and scram. If I catch you hanging around my son, I guarantee that you will wish you had never been born!”
