Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Duel Between Two Women

Wu Haipeng exited the hospital gate and was still perplexed.

"Brother Huai, what did Xiaxia mean? What’s with the ’are all three legs still intact’?"

Gu Beihuai didn’t want to bother with him, but seeing him play the fool stirred some pity in his heart.

Everyone knew about Wu Haipeng’s leg injury, but not everyone knew it involved two legs.

Just now, when Wu Haipeng kicked Hu Mingcheng’s butt, the leg he used to kick was fine, so...

What kind of woman was Tang Chuxia anyway?

Was it appropriate for her to say something like that?

"You gave yourself away when you kicked Hu Mingcheng!"

He just said that much, and although Wu Haipeng usually was quick-witted, this time he didn’t catch on at all.

Bewilderment filled his tiger eyes.

He made an "Ah!" sound, and after a long pause, he slapped his forehead, "Is Xiaxia implying I’m not a man anymore?"

His voice was quite loud.

Gu Beihuai coughed loudly twice, reminding Wu Haipeng that there were pedestrians passing by.

Wu Haipeng hastily covered his mouth and hopped on the spot, "Now I get why you hate Tang Chuxia so much!"

He, too, loathed the girl’s bluntness at that moment.

Gu Beihuai patted his shoulder, "Are you really no good anymore?"

Wu Haipeng yelled, "Who says I’m no good? I’m totally fine!"

Right after his shout, more people looked at him, so he quickly lowered his voice, "It’s just some scraped skin. That nurse has a big mouth!"

Gu Beihuai chuckled, "So it’s just scrapped skin. Qin Zhan and the others said you were ruined, that you were going to become a eunuch. I was about to get you some medicine to perk you up!"

Wu Haipeng lifted his foot as if to kick Gu Beihuai.

That was not how a frenemy should behave!

The two parted ways at the entrance of the alleyway. They lived close by and were both grown men, so there was no need for anyone to be walked home.

After watching Wu Haipeng go home, Gu Beihuai returned to the entrance of the Tang Family’s gate. This time, he didn’t enter but leaned in a shaded spot, pondering how to keep an eye on Tang Chuxia.

What he didn’t expect, while contemplating whether to stake out the gate for the night until Tang Jianjun returned, was for someone to beat him to the punch and enter the yard.

Tang Wanqiu stormed into the yard with fury, pushing open the door to Tang Chuxia’s room. A cold breeze swept through, drawing the attention of Tang Chuxia, Dangdang, and the elder sister-in-law inside toward her.

"Tang Chuxia, what will it take for you to stop clinging to Brother Mingcheng?"

She clenched her fists tightly, standing before Tang Chuxia with fire in her eyes, as if she intended to strangle her.

Tang Chuxia raised an eyebrow and leaned against the headboard, "What’s the matter? Has your Mingcheng ditched you?"

"I’ve already moved out, so I don’t compete for our parents’ affection! Why do you still pester Brother Mingcheng?"

The elder sister-in-law held her waist, "Wanqiu, what are you talking about? Not to mention Xiaxia isn’t pestering Hu Mingcheng. Even if there was something between Xiaxia and Hu Mingcheng, they were engaged first!"

Tang Wanqiu’s gaze swept over the elder sister-in-law’s belly, wiping a tear, "You all spoil her, never questioning anything and always protecting her. Are you willing to let this happen? You are the Tang Family’s eldest daughter-in-law, after all!"

Dangdang couldn’t stand these words, she put her hands on her hips and nudged Tang Wanqiu, "What are you doing? Trying to drive a wedge between my sister and the Tang Family?"

Tang Wanqiu stumbled from the nudge and ended up sitting on the floor.

She cried miserably, and as other members of the Tang Family heard the commotion and rushed over, they frowned upon seeing Tang Wanqiu, puzzled about her reasons for coming.

Dangdang hurriedly explained, "I didn’t use much force! She’s framing me!"

Tang Chuxia patted her head, "Right, Dangdang is so weak, she couldn’t hurt anyone!"

Dangdang puffed her cheeks, feeling that Tang Chuxia’s words had a deeper meaning.

Sitting on the ground with a pitiful look, Tang Wanqiu kept shedding tears.

"Why did you come?"

Madam Tang spoke up first; she genuinely disliked Tang Wanqiu.

Wiping away her tears, Tang Wanqiu then looked at Madam Tang, "Mom, this is my home!"

"You probably never considered this place home." He knew Tang Wanqiu best and couldn’t summon any sympathy.

Tang Chuxia waved her off, "Stand up. What exactly do you want from me?"

Tang Wanqiu also knew sitting on the cold ground was futile; the Tang Family showed little pity for her, so she had no choice but to get up, crying miserably, "Sister, Hu Mingcheng said he came to see you. He actually despised me for being useless, for not being able to make dad and mom like me!"

Madam Tang sneered, "Isn’t that a situation you brought upon yourself?"

However, Tang Chuxia believed that Tang Wanqiu’s visit wasn’t that simple; given her personality, there had to be an ulterior motive.

Sure enough, Tang Wanqiu clung to Madam Tang’s legs, weeping fiercely, "Mom, I was wrong. I want to move back home. People at the dorm bully me, saying that the Tang Family won’t stand up for me."

Madam Tang couldn’t shake her off and called for Tang Jianbing to pull Tang Wanqiu away.

"Mom, I really was wrong! I want to come back!"

Madam Tang disagreed outright, "Your birth mother has already appeared, and your father is about to return as well. If you want to ’come home,’ go look for them!"

Tang Wanqiu let go and suddenly screamed, "Why? You raised me, why do you want to abandon me now?"

Madam Tang crouched down, pinching Tang Wanqiu’s face, "Why? I’d like to ask the same. When you poisoned my Xiaxia, didn’t you think about the identity I gave you, that allowed you to live until now?"

Tang Wanqiu’s face turned deathly pale.

Shaking, she pointed her finger, "You all knew!"

She collapsed on the ground, her face twisted with madness, "You really knew. When did you find out?"

Dangdang rolled up her sleeves to hit someone; she had thought such plots only existed in storybooks, yet here it was happening in real life. Fortunately, Tang Chuxia held back Dangdang’s arm.

"She’s so vicious, and you still won’t take action?" Dangdang was furious to the point of exploding.

Tang Chuxia, however, shook her head, "Calm down, listen!"

Suddenly, Tang Wanqiu looked up at Tang Chuxia, "During this time, were you just waiting to see my downfall?"

Tang Chuxia nodded.

Indeed.

But...

This turn of events caught her off guard.

"Did you know that I poisoned you and still pretended to be poisoned just to mock me?"

Before Tang Chuxia could answer, Madam Tang slapped her across the face.

Slap after slap, Tang Wanqiu couldn’t even dodge them.

In the dull sounds, Madam Tang’s rage was audible.

"Mocking you? What makes you think anyone is mocking you?"

Madam Tang wished she could drag her in-laws out from the grave to see the kind of creature they insisted on raising—against her objections as a daughter-in-law—a granddaughter willing to sacrifice her own grandchild, her malevolence knew no bounds.

Tang Wanqiu pushed Madam Tang away forcefully; Madam Tang nearly crashed into the wall, but Tang Jianbing quickly blocked behind her, preventing a tragedy.

Tang Chuxia was initially quite pleased, but observing this scene, she let out an indistinct curse and pulled Tang Wanqiu up by the collar and dragged her out of the room.

She dragged her all the way to the front door, then suddenly pulled her close to whisper in her ear, a scoff exploding in her ear.

"Are you satisfied now?"
