Chapter 104: Vent Your Anger

The sound of the slap was very loud. The surrounding customers all heard it and looked in their direction at the same time.

Lin Rou’s face was burning. She took several huge steps forward and wanted to pounce on Fang Xiaonuan. She wanted to push her over the railing of the third floor.

Ji Lingchen quickly stood up and stepped in front of his wife. He stopped the crazy Lin Rou and pushed her against the glass.

Lin Rou’s face was aggrieved. She pointed at Fang Xiaonuan and cried, “She’s a demon, Lingchen. Don’t be deceived by her appearance!”

Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan stepped out from behind her husband. She did not say anything. Instead, she raised her hand and hit the other side of Lin Rou’s face. This time, she used all her strength, and her palm was slightly red.

Fang Xiaonuan said coldly, “If you didn’t mention my sister-in-law, I would have cared about your pride and not embarrassed you. But you actually were bold enough to bring that up. Don’t blame me for embarrassing you!”

“This first slap was on sister-in-law’s behalf. You deliberately tried to sow discord between sister-in-law and me, causing many misunderstandings in our relationship.”

“This second slap was for myself. There was no special reason. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. Who asked you to be so immoral? You always covet my husband. I don’t like you, so I had to slap you twice to vent my anger!”

“My husband said that Mrs. Ji doesn’t need to act reasonably!”

Hearing this, Ji Lingchen did not feel angry because of his wife’s rudeness. Instead, he wore a smile on his face and looked at his wife dotingly.

“Fang Xiaonuan, you were clearly the one who took everything that belonged to me!” Lin Rou said through gritted teeth.

Old Master Ji said, “You’re thinking too much. Mrs. Ji’s position was never yours to begin with. Our family would rather let Lingchen be single for the rest of his life than allow a woman like you to enter the Ji family!”

“Mr. Ji, why? Why?” Lin Rou asked as she cried. She had stayed by Ji Lingchen’s side for fifteen years. Could it be that she failed to get the Ji family’s approval?

“Why? Even with sister-in-law’s background, she could enter the Ji family. Why can’t I? In these fifteen years, I have never done anything wrong. Why can’t I?”

Old Master Ji coldly snorted and said, “Hmph, you don’t have a good character.”

Fang Xiaonuan had just finished slapping her up. She was extremely happy. She thought to herself, ‘What’s wrong with sister-in-law’s background? Wasn’t she the daughter of the Feng family? Why did she listen to Lin Rou, someone who clearly looked down on her background? Father-in-law had also mentioned this morning that I was different from sister-in-law and that I don’t know how to take care of others. Sister-in-law was also a daughter, so why would father say that?’

Ji Lingchen had made his stance clear to Lin Rou last time, but he did not do it in front of his wife. Therefore, he said again, “I’ll say it again. There is no relationship between us. Everything you see is from your own imagination. The fifteen years you mentioned, to me, is only the fifteen years we’ve known each other. I owe your family a favor, and the Ji family has long since repaid it. If you still insist on pestering us and trying to sow discord between our families, I definitely won’t go easy on you. Go back and tell your father that the Ji family and the Lin family aren’t old friends!”

Ji Lingchen and Old Master Ji’s attitude was already very clear. Lin Rou could only leave with a red and swollen face and a broken heart.

Lin Qian, who was waiting downstairs, saw her cousin’s state and asked in surprise, “Cousin, how did you end up like this?”

Lin Rou wiped away her tears and said hatefully, “Fang Xiaonuan, I’m not done with you!”

On the third floor, after Lin Rou left, Fang Xiaonuan returned to her seat. She was very happy, and she suddenly thought of something to ask her husband. “Hubby, what did you just say about owing the Lin family a favor? And what about sister-in-law’s family background? Why does Lin Rou seem to look down on sister-in-law? And how did she know that we were eating here? Hubby, you’ve known her for fifteen years, and you really feel nothing for her?”

Hearing this, the father and son looked at each other. Neither of them directly answered Fang Xiaonuan’s question.

Ji Lingchen smiled as he drew closer to his wife. He reached out and stroked her soft hair. “What else could I feel for her?”

Fang Xiaonuan interrogated him. “Haven’t the two of you ever eaten alone, watched a movie alone, or shopped together?”

Old Master Ji said disdainfully, “The Ji Corporation keeps him very busy. How could he have so much time to do these boring things?”
