Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
But none of them noticed that there was someone staring at them from the opposite corner of the building.
Lin Qian’s phone was in her hand as she watched Fang Xiaonuan enjoy her meal. After a while, the call went through. She said, “Cousin, I saw that woman…”
Twenty minutes later, an uninvited guest arrived.
“Lingchen.” Lin Rou appeared in front of everyone pitifully.
When she heard the voice, Fang Xiaonuan looked up and saw this “weak” woman again. Fang Xiaonuan’s expression darkened. Last time, this woman deliberately tried to sow discord between her and her sister-in-law. She had not forgotten her hostile nature. She did not expect this woman to actually right up to them. Fang Xiaonuan put down the chopsticks and said, “Miss Lin, why did you say my husband’s name?”
“I need to see him.” Lin Rou had an aggrieved look on her face. As she looked at Ji Lingchen, tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
Pretending to be pitiful again? Fang Xiaonuan was speechless. Did this woman think that by pretending to be pitiful, she could win a man’s heart? That might have worked with an ordinary man, but her husband was from the Ji family!
Ji Lingchen only had eyes for Fang Xiaonuan. He did not even look at Lin Rou. He just looked down and stayed silent.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “If you have something to say, just say it to me. My husband hates you and doesn’t want to talk to you.”
Seeing that Ji Lingchen was ignoring her, Lin Rou looked at Old Master Ji. Old Master Ji did not say anything. He appeared to be ignoring her too.
Ji Lingchen did not seem to see Lin Rou at all as he continued to put food on Fang Xiaonuan’s plate.
Lin Rou did not give up and asked again, “Lingchen, can you come over here for a moment? I have something to tell you.”
Seeing that she was pestering her husband, Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes. She simply clutched her stomach and pretended to be in pain, exclaiming, “Ah!”
“What’s wrong, Xiaonuan?” Ji Lingchen immediately asked with concern. Old Master Ji also looked at his daughter-in-law worriedly. He thought to himself, ‘Could she have gastroenteritis too?’
Fang Xiaonuan glanced at Lin Rou’s reaction and deliberately said to Ji Lingchen in a coquettish manner, “Hubby, I’m fine. It’s probably just the baby kicking.”
“Pfft!” Hearing this caused Old Master Ji to spit out his tea. He started coughing non-stop. Did he hear wrongly? Baby? Where did the baby come from?
Fang Xiaonuan saw that Old Master Ji was coughing and hurriedly asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Old Master Ji waved his hand and coughed a few more times before finally stopping.
Fang Xiaonuan angrily glared at Lin Rou and said, “Miss Lin, my father-in-law clearly isn’t feeling well in your presence. How can you still have the nerve to stand here?”
Old Master Ji, thought, ‘I’m not feeling well?’
Lin Rou’s face was ashen. She forcefully suppressed her anger and said to Fang Xiaonuan, “I’ll leave soon, but I have something to tell Lingchen. I’d like to talk to him alone.”
Fang Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at her, then pulled Ji Lingchen’s hand and placed it on her stomach. She said in a childish voice, “Hubby, the baby was probably angry. You can’t meet up with another woman and leave your wife and baby alone!”
Ji Lingchen was stunned. The baby was angry? His wife actually dared to say that.
“Okay, I got it. I’m not going anywhere,” Ji Lingchen promised.
After saying that, he put his hand above hers and moved it lower. He reminded her in a low voice, “Honey, the baby is here. That was the stomach just now.”
“Oh, okay,” Fang Xiaonuan replied without changing her expression. Then, she continued to calmly caress her lower abdomen.
Lin Rou’s face turned furious. She stared at Fang Xiaonuan fiercely, as if she wanted to pounce on her and kill her.
Seeing Lin Rou’s reaction, Fang Xiaonuan was very satisfied. She said to her proudly, “If you have something to say, say it quickly. Just say it here. After you say it, get lost. If you don’t want to say it here, then get lost!”
“Fang Xiaonuan, do you really want me to say it here?” Lin Rou said, biting her lip.
Fang Xiaonuan nodded and said, “You’re full of lies. Our entire family has to be on guard against you. You’re just a villain!”
Lin Rou’s blood was boiling. Before she could say anything, she had already been called a villain. She looked at Fang Xiaonuan’s stomach and mocked her. “You’re the one who’s full of lies, right?”
“Me? Why don’t you ask my husband and father-in-law if I’m lying? Also, do you think they want to hear what you have to say?” Fang Xiaonuan replied provocatively. She wanted Lin Rou to know that even if she, Fang Xiaonuan, lied, her family would believe her. However, even if Lin Rou told the truth, no one would be willing to listen to her.
“Fang Xiaonuan, I still haven’t settled the score with you for hitting sister-in-law last time!” Lin Rou said.
Hearing this, Fang Xiaonuan suddenly stood up and strode in front of Lin Rou. She raised her hand and slapped her.
Lin Rou was stunned by the slap and did not react for a moment. Ji Lingchen was also stunned. Old Master Ji was completely shocked. He did not expect that his daughter-in-law would actually make a move.
