Yuan Shu’s expression was dark and her cold expression made people feel intimidated. The rope in her hand was still dripping with water.
She asked Shen Yi, who was panting beside her, coldly, “What happened?”
Shen Yi took a deep breath to calm his breathing. Then, he said aggrievedly, “Mrs. Yuan came today to take the company’s money. She even forced me to give her the company’s official stamp, but the company no longer has money. We can’t give the money to her!”
With Duan Yan’s personality, how could she just stand there and listen to Shen Yi complain without retorting?
Before Shen Yi could finish speaking, Duan Yan immediately continued, “What are you talking about? I’m taking my family’s money. Why can’t you give it to me?! You’re telling me that such a big company doesn’t have money? I think you’re took it for yourself!”
Shen Yi’s face flushed. He wasn’t eloquent enough and couldn’t win against the sharp-tongued Duan Yan at all, so he could only protect the official seal and remain silent.
Yuan Shu didn’t have a good temper either. She had her own judgement, so she couldn’t just watch Duan Yan distort the truth.
Yuan Shu didn’t waste any time. With a flick of her wrist, she twisted the rope out of the fabric and threw it out. When the rope was wet, it would hurt when it hit someone.
Duan Yan’s arm that was holding the cheque book was hit. With a bang, Duan Yan threw the cheque book to the ground in pain. Then, she quickly covered her arm with her other hand.
She shouted in a sharp voice, “You brat, how dare you hit me?! The family raised you all these years, but not only did you not repay the family, but you also dared to hit me, your mother, in front of outsiders! I raised you painstakingly. Do you know any filial piety?!”
Yuan Shu sneered and took a step forward, but Duan Yan was so frightened that she retreated. Her back hit the wall, and her facial features were distorted in pain.
Duan Yan had lingering fears. Why didn’t she know that this prodigal daughter who spent all her time fooling around had such ruthless methods? She wasn’t soft-hearted at all when she hit people.
Yuan Shu glanced at her and said ruthlessly, “Madam Duan, I don’t think I need to remind you at all times that you’re not my biological mother because you’re not related to me by blood.”
Yuan Shu raised her wrist and rotated it. She had not trained her whip technique for a long time, so her technique was a little rusty. Just this whip was a little too much for her weak wrist. It seemed that the training intensity of her morning run every morning wasn’t enough. She had to spend more time training her strength.
Duan Yan looked at Yuan Shu. She wasn’t at all like the previous silly girl who could be manipulated by her with a few words. Now that Yuan Shu was standing in front of her, she actually felt oppressed and afraid.
Duan Yan felt apprehensive. Why did Yuan Shu’s personality suddenly change after getting married? She wouldn’t take revenge for what happened in the past, would she?
Yuan Shu sneered as she recalled Yuan Shu’s life in the Yuan Family.
Less than half a month after her mother passed away, her father welcomed the mistress into the house and turned a blind eye to her rejection. He bribed Yuan Shu with a card that had no spending limit.
Later on, Duan Yan even deceived Yuan Shu countless times. Yuan Shu was a shopaholic who didn’t know anything about business. Many times, she asked Yuan Shu to sign the contract so that she could get money from Yushu Buyi to spend on herself.
As the saying went, the best way to destroy a person was to make her become a useless good-for-nothing.
Hence, Duan Yan had never interfered with Yuan Shu’s studies. She even protected Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu’s father hit her, which touched Yuan Shu and made her trust her stepmother even more.
As a result, Yuan Shu later became arrogant and willful. She had to get whatever she wanted even if she had to snatch it. After she fell in love with Shi Xiao at first sight, she was adamant about marrying into the Shi family even if she had to scam him into having a one-night stand with her.
Duan Yan had put on an act of a stepmother loving her daughter more than her own mother. For so many years, she had used this method to take large amounts of money from Yushu Buyi! Even at this critical moment, she dared to ask for money without any scruples.
How shameless!
