Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Did He Peel Off the City Wall’s Skin and Stick It to His Own Face?

Wen Feng and Jiang Lai had been leading separate lives since their divorce, adhering to the principle of "you don’t start trouble, we’ll both be well."

But there are always those who are restless.

As the elevator numbers climbed steadily higher, Wen Qiao stepped into the top floor’s VIP ward. Just as she approached the room, without even opening the door, she heard a woman’s arrogant voice from inside.

"You probably don’t know yet, do you? Your daughter drugged Fu Jinghen’s nephew at the Fu engagement party, nearly putting a big green hat on Fu Jinghen. How did someone as modest as you give birth to such an indiscreet daughter?"

A surge of anger rose from the bottom of Wen Qiao’s heart, and she pushed the door open.

"You’re someone who climbed over others as a third party, and you have the nerve to talk about others being indiscrete? Do you even know how to spell the words?"

Jiang Lai, red-faced from Tang Ru’s stinging words, was about to call security to throw her out when she saw Wen Qiao enter. Though her expression hardly improved, she did not show it due to the presence of an outsider.

After Wen Qiao entered, she first glanced at the hospital bed and then froze on the spot.

The woman lying on the bed had a haggard appearance from the ravages of time and illness, but her originally beautiful features were still discernible. She must have been a great beauty in her youth.

Looking into eyes identical to hers, for a moment, Wen Qiao felt the urge to cry.

This was just too much of a coincidence.

Not only did her original self resemble her, but even her original mom looked so much like her mom.

Wen Qiao’s parents died in a car accident when she graduated from junior high. She avoided revisiting painful memories and didn’t look at her parents’ photos. Over the years, the image of her parents had grown blurry. Now, seeing Jiang Lai brought her mother’s voice and smile vividly back to her mind.

Perhaps this was fate.

She had traveled into this book and could continue the connection with her mother.

Tang Ru was taken aback by Wen Qiao’s blunt and merciless retort, her face turning awkward as she exclaimed, "No matter what you say, I am now the mistress of the Wen Family. By law, you should call me ’mom.’"

"Did your family not have money to send you to school when you were little, so you didn’t get an education? Even if you didn’t go through nine years of compulsory education, you should know that since ancient times, mistresses have been despised like rats in the street, shamed by everyone. You take pride in it instead of shame, are you sticking the city walls’ peeling paint on your face? If I call you ’mom,’ aren’t you afraid it will shorten your life?"

In arguments, Wen Qiao had never lost.

Perhaps because of the disgusting way she married Wen Feng, Tang Ru had always been excluded from the circle of high-society ladies. Not only did she not keep a low profile, but she also sought a presence in front of Jiang Lai now and then.

Meeting Wen Qiao was her bad luck.

Tang Ru didn’t expect Wen Qiao to fire back with one sentence after another like a machine gun, leaving her speechless and rooted to the spot until she finally found her voice: "Times have changed, and you speak so fiercely now. Don’t get too carried away; the Fu Family will soon send you back for all the good deeds you’ve done. Drugging someone? You’re no better than me."

Wen Qiao had never seen such a shameless person, nor had she seen a third party so bold. She really was learning something new, "Even you know about that incident, do you think Fu Jinghen doesn’t? He hasn’t said a word, so why are you worried? Even if the Fu Family sends me back, do you think your daughter could marry into their family? You might be better off going home, wash up, and have a nice dream."

Tang Ru’s face changed at the words. That’s right, if even she had heard about it, how could Fu Jinghen not know? But two days had passed, and nothing had happened, which meant Fu Jinghen didn’t care about the incident, or he knew but was unwilling to cancel the engagement.

But why would that be?
