3 No act of kindness goes unpunished Edited

Today's dinner was of western style, with fresh salad and grilled chicken.

Mama Meng was happily chatting with her son, Shi Meng and they were enjoying the dinner together.

The usually tight-lipped young master on the outside was actually chatting and laughing with his mother like any other normal person.

If Shi empire's employees ever saw this, they would be instantly shocked.

Mama Meng was the only woman capable of intruding into this cold young master's personal space.

After finishing his portion, Shi Meng called the head butler over.

Though he left all matters pertaining to the household maintenance to his mother, this was the time, he usually listened to any important updates.

Looking very hesitant, the head butler responded, "Nothing to report today sir."

Noticing his odd behavior, Mama Meng immediately scrunched her face and got straight to the point.

"What did she do now?"

In this peaceful and harmonious household, if it was not for that beggar Su Lin, who else could be troublesome and annoying.

But luckily, they had to bear with it only for one more month.

"Nothing madam. Young mistress looked like she fainted earlier today."

"Hmph. Always begging for attention." Mama Meng crossed her arms in annoyance.

Seeing that his mother's mood was getting ruined, Shi Meng quickly closed the topic, "Hmm... In the future, you don't have to report these things."

"If she is not feeling well, just take her to the hospital and get her checked with the doctors. After all, they are the ones who can help her."

"And even better you should just get her admitted to the hospital. That would be more convenient for everyone."

And of course, this reply, instantly brightened up his mother's aura.

She excitedly nodded, seemingly satisfied with Shi Meng's response.

Then out of nowhere, Mama Meng quickly perked up and asked Shi Meng, "Hey kiddo, do you remember the Liang family, with the twins, who stayed next to us in the Monsoon villa?"

"They are returning from the states soon. It's been so long! I am missing aunty and uncle Liang very much!"

Shi Meng gently looked at his mother, with a smile that could warm a million hearts, "That's nice, mom. You will have some company during the daytime."

Taking this opportunity, Mama Meng quickly added with an extremely dramatic dejected tone, "Sigh... If you had just divorced that plague sooner and brought in a good daughter-in-law home for me, I wouldn't have to be this lonely all the time."

"Ha ha.. Ok, I am going up to finish some meetings, please have a good rest and a good night's sleep."

Kissing his mom's forehead, Shi Meng went upstairs to his room.

As he crossed Su Lin's room, he noticed a bowl of leftovers, mostly bones that showed signs of ferocious nibbling.

A frown covered his face, as he ignored the sight and walked away faster. How much longer did he have to put up with this nuisance?!

If it was not for this grandfather, all of these things would never have happened.

A few years back, Su Lin had saved grandfather Shi from a life-threatening accident in the nick of time, even risking her own life.

In the current age, where children ignored and deserted their own parents and grandparents, grandpa Meng was extremely touched by Su Lin's selfless actions.

He gave the poor young woman a job in the Shi industries as a token of his gratitude.

But slowly, as time progressed, grandpa Meng got to know Su Lin more and more, and he realized that she was a true gem among women.

She was a polite young woman, with infinite kindness and compassion. He had never seen anyone as gentle and kind as her.

Grandpa Meng immediately felt that this was the woman, who should be the mistress of his family.

He knew exactly how pig-headed, money-minded, and stubborn his grandson was.

Unfortunately, the kid had been spoilt rotten since his childhood by his doting big-mouthed mother.

This was precisely why grandpa Meng thought that Su Lin would be a perfect match for him, complementing his vicious and inhumane nature.

The mother and son duo needed this kind of calming and gentle presence in the house to complement their atrociousness.

Stubbornly, grandpa Meng forced everybody's hands and successfully finished the fated marriage.

It was a grand wedding and a wonderful occasion with both grandpa Meng and Su Lin's faces filled with joy and laughter.

That day, was in fact, one of the last few days, on which Su Lin had been truly happy. She had genuinely looked forward to her new beginning and her new family.

But unfortunately, everything took a turn for the worst shortly afterward and her life became an utter hell.

Her husband, who was supposed to love and cherish her barely acknowledged her presence.

Her mother-in-law only ever seemed to be interested in scolding and shouting at her.

And to make matters worse, a few weeks after the wedding, grandpa Meng passed away in his sleep due to a heart attack, and Su Lin's life completely turned upside down.

Without grandpa Meng in the house, Su Lin could barely continue living there. Each and every single day was a slow and painful torture.

As if these gifts were not enough, life also gave her a new gift, cancer, that too terminal stage inoperable cancer.

This had been Su Lin's life before, but now, that kind and gentle woman disappeared without any trace, leaving behind the temperamental alchemy devil.
