BXBX NOVEL Chapter 224 On A Warpath
Yue Niang wasn\'t done, she twisted Poh Jin Lian\'s arm further, purposely stomping on her ankle too just for extra impact. Poh Jin Lian let out a pained scream that delighted her heart, so she continued to do it, taking special care to rub the sole of her boot all over the fragile bone.
If she was wearing heels, she could have - would have gladly broken her ankles and left her to crawl on the floor. But alas, there was a time and place for everything.
She took a quick look at her daughter, who was huddled with Sun Jingwei and her boyfriend. Thankfully, her daughter had still managed to find love, even when surrounded with all the negativity around her!
It didn\'t escape Yue Niang\'s notice that the insults and rumours levied towards her grew lesser when she grew older, while the number of rude comments levied at Xue Ning increased as she grew older. All of them had an opinion on her attitude, her behaviour, her grades, her dressing, her lack of friends, her lack of relationships…
To make matters worse, her peers also began to parrot the same things they heard their parents say.
No wonder her daughter wanted to escape this stifling town. Yue Niang wanted to keep her daughter close to her, but she had to acknowledge that this town was a toxic place. Her daughter would suffer the longer she stayed!
Tai Xuan was lucky to escape the brunt of it, for he had always been handsome and good at sports, a sure-win combination for popularity. Tai Cheng was seen as the poor henpecked husband, cuckolded by her. They pitied him, but did not respect him. It was her and Xue Ning that had to endure the worst of it!
If not for this place being so forgettable, making it the perfect place to hide, she would have insisted the family move away too.
But then again, they were already attracting attention. She might as well go all out and satisfy her bloodlust. Who knew when this chance would happen again!
She gave Poh Jin Lian\'s ankle another brutal stomp, and everyone winced at the scream that escaped.
"You\'re not screaming loudly enough," Yue Niang commented. "Come on, use that voice you do when you\'re spreading rumours about my family. I know you have strong lungs, use them."
She then twisted her fingers until they turned purple. Some people turned away, unable to take the violence.
"Holy shit, Xue Ning, your mom is kind of scary," Jingwei murmured, half-impressed, half-terrified. She looked like Captain Mu when he was torturing informants - Jingwei had been unlucky enough to stumble into it once, and it gave him nightmares.
"Does she know martial arts?"
"Don\'t think so, I think she just had pent up anger for 10 years. I can relate." Xue Ning muttered back, even as her heart cheered for her mother\'s actions. Part of her had never seen this side of her mother, and it was so satisfying!
"Then do you want to punch her? Or him? I can hold them while you beat them up," Jingwei offered. "Don\'t worry, you\'ll get off scot free."
"I can help too," Wei Yan chimed in. "This couple really pisses me off."
"Thanks," Xue Ning said, her heart warmed at the gesture. "But I\'m not going to interrupt my mom on a warpath. That\'s just asking for trouble."
All three pairs of eyes turned back to the battlefield.
Poh Jin Lian screamed and thrashed, trying to get away, but Yue Niang held on firmly, much like a cat squashing a mouse under its claws. She wasn\'t done with the Poh couple.
"Do you know what\'s more ridiculous? When I rejected the advances of that perverted husband of yours, he also had the nerve to make our lives difficult! So don\'t worry, you and your husband are peas in a pod, a heavenly pairing of maggots and decomposing flesh!"
"Wow," Xue Ning said, impressed. Who knew her mother had such a vicious mouth on her!
The crowd hissed in unison, feeling the blow land perfectly. Their eyes swivelled between Poh Jin Lian\'s pathetic pose, her shorter, dumpier figure in her gaudy tracksuit, and how her permed hair resembled a bird\'s nest. They then looked at Yue Niang\'s taller imposing figure, with her body kept fit from running the restaurant.
While Poh Jin Lian\'s face was kept younger looking by the multiple cosmetic procedures that her husband paid for, there was still no denying that Yue Niang had more striking features!
"You\'re a vixen! You should never have been in this town! You and your daughter are both out to seduce my husband from me!" Poh Jin Lian screamed as she blinked back hot tears.
"Huh?" Jingwei and Wei Yan asked, confused at this turn of events. They turned to Xue Ning who just shrugged.
"Excuse me? I seduced your husband? What kind of rubbish is this? If anything, you should be blaming your husband for trying to hit on me!" Xue Ning retorted. She kept silent all this while when it came to their insults, but she definitely couldn\'t let this accusation pass.
"WHAT THE FUCK." Jingwei exclaimed.
"See? You admitted it!" Poh Jin Lian declared. "You, tempting him with your young tender flesh even as a teenager! If you never seduced him, why would he hit on you?"
How could she forget the memory of her husband lusting over Li Yue Niang when Jin Lian and her husband just moved into their sleepy town?!
Li Yue Niang back then had lovely eyes and an amazing figure. Paired with a head of long beautiful hair and a delicate, swan-like neck, and a feline grace not commonly found in women, she was a siren song for men everywhere! Of course her husband\'s eyes had strayed!
And when their darling daughter became a teenager, she caught his eyes wandering again! Like slut mother, like slut daughter!
Xue Ning nearly retched at her words. Gross. Oh my god. Around her, people looked at her judgmentally. A teenage girl out to seduce a married man was a big no!
They forgot that the grown-up was the one in the wrong. Their biasness was why Xue Ning never wanted to stay!
