Chapter 882: Chapter 875: Slapping Left and Right
Qiu Zi thought, having taken off her white coat and walked away in front of Dean Ming, Director Ming, and those hospital colleagues today, does this attitude signify her resignation?
Upon hearing that her daughter had quit such a good job, Lu Qian immediately lost her temper and rushed over to slap her.
Qiu Zi clutched her face, "Mom! Why are you hitting me!"
"Iâve wanted to hit you for a long time, your dad always stopped me. Now that itâs just family here, Iâll beat you, you useless girl!" Without another word, Lu Qian grabbed Qiu Ziâs hair and slapped her face back and forth.
Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Zitong just watched coldly from the side, not saying anything to stop it.
Qiu Renhe stepped forward to pull them apart, but being a slender man and Lu Qian being a sturdy woman, he couldnât budge her. To prevent his daughter from getting beaten, Qiu Renhe could only try to stand in between and shield Qiu Zi from the slaps.
Just then, Luna finally arrived. As soon as she entered and saw Lu Qian hitting Qiu Zi, she immediately rushed over to pull them apart, without saying a word.
After finally pulling Lu Qian away, she still wanted to continue, but Old Mrs. Lu was fed up, "Alright! If you want to fight, take it to your own room, donât do it here where I have to see it!"
Hearing her motherâs words, Lu Qian angrily stopped and stood aside, "You brat, just you wait!"
Lu Qianâs hits were heavy. Fortunately, Qiu Renhe had blocked a few, otherwise, Qiu Ziâs face would have been unpresentable. Even so, Qiu Ziâs face started to swell slightly, with five red fingerprints clearly visible.
Luna looked at Qiu Zi with heartache, then turned to reproach Lu Qian, "Second sister, sometimes I really doubt if youâre actually Little Ziâs biological mother, how can you be so heavy-handed! A girlâs face is so important, especially since our Qiu Zi is so beautiful. If you really beat her badly, how will she find a husband in the future!"
Hearing Luna scolding her, Lu Qianâs face turned sour, "Disciplining my daughter is none of your business!"
"Hmph! If you werenât my second sister, I wouldnât even bother with you! You also have to think, who will you rely on when youâre old? Isnât it Little Zi! If you treat her like this now, in the future when the child becomes estranged from you, letâs see what youâll do when youâre old!" Luna retorted angrily.
Lu Qian was left speechless by Lunaâs rebuke, her face turning red with frustration.
At this moment, Lu Zitong chimed in sarcastically, "Auntie only has Qiu Zi in her heart, thereâs no room for me, her own niece... oh, itâs really heartbreaking..."
As soon as Lu Zitong spoke, Old Mrs. Luâs face soured.
Luna glared at Lu Zitong, "Stop talking to me with that sarcastic tone, your grandmother might indulge you, but I wonât! If you push me too far, Iâll send you right back where you came from, and stop using your grandma to intimidate me!"
If it werenât for Lu Zitong egging on Old Mrs. Lu today, things wouldnât have gotten so out of hand.
"Grandma~ see how Auntie~ is bullying me again!" Lu Zitong complained to Old Mrs. Lu, not at all resembling a mature 28-year-old woman.
Just as Old Mrs. Lu was about to reprimand Luna, Luna spoke first, "Mom! Do you know your daughterâs standing in the Leng Family now?"
"What standing? Sheâs Leng Lieweiâs wife! The mistress of the Leng Family!" Old Mrs. Lu replied as a matter of course.
"Nonsense!" Luna retorted, hands on her hips, not caring whether Old Mrs. Lu was happy or not, directly saying, "I may be Leng Lieweiâs wife, but do you know that the entire Leng Family now relies on Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran for support? Which means your daughter, me, is living off Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran! Everything you eat, drink, and even this house belongs to the married couple!" Luna said as her eyes reddened, "You really donât consider your daughterâs feelings or difficulties, only your own comfort and satisfaction! At home, youâre the elder, everyone allows you to have your way. Here, youâre just an older lady to them. Bai Yiran doesnât argue with you because of your age! Bai Yiran calls me âstepmotherâ, yet Iâm just a stepmother without any standing or children of my own. Are you trying to get me kicked out of the Leng Family with your antics so that youâll be happy?"
