He Meijuan helped Fu Sichen, who was injured, back to his bedroom. She tended to his wounds while bad-mouthing Tang Xinyan.
Fu Sichen could not bear with it anymore. He frowned and said, “Mom, no matter how awful she is, she is still your daughter-in-law. Stop berating her!”
He Meijuan wiped her tears and gave Fu Sichen a resentful stare. “She is the cause of all of this, why are you still protecting her? I can tell that even Tang Yurou is a lot better than her. She’s just a jinx! I went to get a reading from a fortune teller. Her bad luck was the cause of her father’s car accident, and her mother’s disease which resulted in her mother being mentally ill!
Sichen, mother supports your divorce with her. She’s living in our house, who is to say she won’t bring bad luck upon all of us?”
When Fu Sichen heard the word ‘divorce’, his pale and handsome face darkened.
No matter how awful Tang Xinyan was, he had never thought of getting a divorce.
Maybe it was because he had loved her dearly in the past and could not bear to let her go!

After Fu Chengye took his private plane and left the Fu family’s mansion, Tang Xinyan went to pack up her things. She carried a backpack and walked out of her room.
Coincidently, He Meijuan came out from Fu Sichen’s bedroom. Once she saw Tang Xinyan, anger surged within her. She grabbed hold of her immediately. “Don’t think that you can stay in our house because you have your father-in-law behind your back! You caused my son to be whipped and now I’m going to teach you a lesson!” Then, she asked their maid to retrieve Fu Chengye’s whip.
Fu Chengye was not at home so the maids had to obey He Meijuan.
Tang Xinyan gave the infuriated He Meijuan a chilly stare. “If you dare to touch me today, I will call the police immediately and file a lawsuit against you. By that time, it will be the Fu family’s turn to suffer the shame!”
He Meijuan’s eyes flushed red and she laughed coldly. “You caused our Sichen to be whipped and I haven’t even sued you for that! Sichen is a respected man in An Town. If we were to go to the police station, even the chief officer would need to make way for me. Do you think that you can file a lawsuit against me?”
Tang Xinyan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed.
In this society, it was true that power was above everything.
Justice did not exist.
While Tang Xinyan was distracted, He Meijuan did not hold back and whipped her.
Tang Xinyan dodged immediately but it was too late. The whip hit her arm and tore her shirt. Her snowy white skin turned red.
The pain was scorching her arm and it spread instantly.
He Meijuan wanted to whip her again but she successfully escaped. She did not want to get beaten up here and endure the humiliation, so she picked up her bag and quickly walked toward the staircase.
He Meijuan did not give up and went after her.
“Tang Xinyan, you stop right there!”
In order to avoid He Meijuan’s whip, Tang Xinyan dodged to the right before she reached the staircase and He Meijuan’s whip hit the handrail. She chased her until she reached the top of the staircase. Suddenly, He Meijuan stepped on something and slipped. She then lost her balance and fell down the stairs.
Tang Xinyan wanted to grab her but it was too late.
A loud scream was heard as He Meijuan, like a car with faulty brakes that was out of control, rolled down the stairs without stopping.
“Ahh!”
Tang Xinyan ran after her immediately. “Somebody, somebody help!”
Fu Sijing came out from another room and saw her mother falling down the stairs. Her face turned pale and guilt flashed in her eyes.
She oiled the staircase without anyone noticing just now. She wanted Tang Xinyan to fall down the stairs but did not expect that she would harm her own mother instead.
Fu Sijing bit down on her lips. She returned to her room and gave Tang Yurou a call.
Tang Yurou listened to Fu Sijing’s panicky ramblings. She rolled her eyes and came up with an idea. “Sijing, stop worrying and calm down. Clean up the oil stains and blame everything on Tang Xinyan. Then, call the police and send her to the police station. Just tell them that she tried to murder your mother!”
