Chapter 20   - Shameless Mother And Daughter (3)

A thief!

It was such a heavy accusation from Su Xiaofei that left both mother and daughter speechless in front of her.

"W-what?" Chen Li gaped at Su Xiaofei while her mother looked at their miss incredulously.

"Miss, are you going to kick us out?"

By this time, Housekeeper Chen was panicking. She wasn't sure what would happen if Su Xiaofei managed to convince her parents to kick them out. If the Su family decided to fire her, it wouldn't be easy for her to find another job to sustain her children's needs and future.

The fear and terror written on the mother and daughter's faces pleased Su Xiaofei immensely. She wasn't sure if she should take a photo just to commemorate it.

Was this what those people felt when they made a fool of her? Watching her break, messing up with every aspect of her life and pushing every blame her way, persecuting her like she was a villainess?

Though the last part was technically true, they were jeering at her, as if she deserved all the misfortune that befell on her. She was supposed to play the role of the villain to make others look good in everyone's eyes.

In her past life, Su Xiaofei had never realized that each of them were the villains in her story. While everyone thought that she was the unreasonable person who wanted to snatch everything from Ye Mingyu, in her perspective, the world was her enemy.

"Y-you can't do that!" Chen Li argued. There was no way in hell that she would return to the countryside and experience hardship again.

"I can't?" Su Xiaofei wasn't surprised by this sudden outburst by Chen Li. Knowing the young woman's personality, she knew that Chen Li was too prideful to admit her wrongdoings because she, along with the rest of her family, knew the truth about Su Xiaofei's identity.

Su Xiaofei wasn't Su Haoran's daughter, and they knew that he had a daughter with his previous lover, who could possibly inherit all the fortune of the Su family.

"I can't? What makes you think I can't do it?"

'Come on, tell me the truth.' Su Xiaofei inwardly mocked Chen Li. It was obvious that Chen Li was getting agitated by her and was feeling humiliated. It was only natural that Chen Li would throw her logical mind to the wind and make a slip that would forever change their lives.

"You can't because you are…"

However, before Chen Li could blurt out the truth in front of Su Xiaofei, Housekeeper Chen pulled her daughter behind her and shot her a meaningful look to shut her mouth. She knew the consequences they would face if Su Xiaofei found out the truth through them.

Other than incurring Su Haoran's wrath for jeopardizing his position, it would also send Yun Qingrong after them.

"Miss, please… I beg you… please let Xiao Li off this time." Housekeeper Chen said to Su Xiaofei, but her eyes had no hint of remorse in them. She was saying this only because Chen Li was caught red-handed and to protect their vested interest.

"And why should I do that? Chen Li said that she borrowed my clothes, but who was to say that this is the first time she had done it? I'll ask Aunty Liu to check the inventory later. If we find something's missing, Aunty Chen… I'm sorry, but I will ask my mother to charge it on your salary."

Since the shameless mother and daughter didn't seem like they regretted their twisted ways, especially Chen Li, why should she give them any consideration after what they have done?

Chen Li was satisfied with dressing herself up in the lavish clothes and shoes Su Xiaofei owned. It may seem harmless now, but in the future, she would cause irreversible damage to Su Xiaofei's reputation because of her excessive habit of bar hopping and usage of drugs.

Housekeeper Chen clutched her chest as she suddenly felt that it was hard to breathe upon hearing Su Xiaofei's words. Her monthly salary was more than the average amount that other housekeepers receive from other families, but that didn't mean she had enough money to pay off the things her daughter took from Su Xiaofei's wardrobe.

"It is either this or I would have to call the police to take Chen Li from here." Su Xiaofei then gave Chen Li a meaningful gaze.

Chen Li immediately burst into tears, clinging helplessly on her mother's arm for her to save her. If Su Xiaofei was successful in sending her to jail, her future would be compromised and people would look down on her. She couldn't allow that to happen!

"Mom! Please! Don't let them take me away! I can't…" She continued to cry, but it only pleased Su Xiaofei more.

In the past, she had once lowered her head, begging these people who harmed her mother to let her see Yun Qingrong, but they never gave her a chance. She, who was known as a proud, selfish woman, fell on her knees and lowered herself for the chance to see her dying mother for the last time, but she was denied by this old woman.

What these two were experiencing right now was incomparable to the pain and suffering she experienced in her past life.

The old woman looked at her, confused. She couldn't understand why Su Xiaofei was treating them like this, but if they were to voice out the truth about Su Xiaofei's heritage, she was certain that her distant cousin, Su Haoran would hold them accountable for it.

"Miss…" She called out. However, Su Xiaofei had already turned her back and walked past them, leaving them in a trance.

"Your daughter's fate is in your hands, Aunty Chen. I trust that you will choose the best solution. You know where to find me." She said her parting words, knowing fully well that this was just the start of the Chen family's demise.

The ominous scent of revenge was already breathing down their necks, promising a long period of suffering and humiliation.
