Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Probing Her Background Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Probing Her Background Chiang Caijiao looked at the door closing behind her, her eyes growing red again.
She wiped her tears and returned home. As soon as she entered, she saw Ho Laidi sitting on the threshold of the main room, eyes gloomily fixed on her, while Song Xiyun was peering out from the kitchen, giving her a look.
Chiang Caijiao couldnât understand the meaning behind that look, but the intensity of Ho Laidiâs gaze frightened her, and she nervously called out, âGranny.â
âYou wretched girl, wonât you come here? Do you think Iâm going to eat you?â
Chiang Caijiao walked over, her hands trembling.
A filthy shoe was thrown at her face; Chiang Caijiao didnât dare to dodge, and the shoe smacked her directly, the grimy sole leaving a cloud of dust on her face.
Chiang Caijiao bowed her head, tears swirling in her eyes, feeling so aggrieved she wanted to cry out loud, but she didnât dare.
âLooking at that slappable face of yours, I can tell you didnât get anything out of her, right? What did that little wretch tell you?â
âChiang Xiao, Chiang Xiao said she wonât send a telegram to call her brother-in-law backâŠ.â
âPah!â Ho Laidi rushed over, jabbing her finger forcefully against Chiang Caijiaoâs forehead, âYou dead girl, just worthless, youâve followed in that Little Vixenâs footsteps, havenât you? Brother-in-law? That wild man already assumes heâs your brother-in-law; why donât you throw yourself at him too? Little bitch!â
Song Xiyun emerged from the kitchen, âMother, why berate Caijiao like that? She wouldnât do that, she went to probe Chiang Xiao at your behest, didnât she? Whatâs wrong with calling him âbrother-in-lawâ?â
She was her own daughter after all; a scolding is fine but why in such an ugly way?
Ho Laidi glared sharply, spitting again, âWhat? Now I canât even scold my own granddaughter? If something is outrageous, it deserves to be scolded! He is nothing but a wild man! Donât give me that Supervisor Guard nonsense. She managed to seduce a Supervisor Guard? That man is definitely no good item either! Nice-looking? Rich? Probably just uses that face to swindle money from women! Scheming because Chiang Xiao has no parents to swindle from, right? You better watch out properly; that house belongs to us. Donât let that wild man swindle it away!â
Song Xiyun stood there agape, âMother, that canât be true, can it?â
She had never considered this possibility. Was it really that serious?
âWhy canât it? You all are as dumb as pigs; can you think as far ahead as your old mother?â Ho Laidi was shouting angrily, her rage mixed with a hint of pride.
She could indeed see further and think ahead!
âSo tell me, what else did that little wretch say? Did you ask her how she suddenly became so strong?â Ho Laidi glared at Chiang Caijiao again.
Chiang Caijiao shrank her neck, âChiang Xiao says she just hates you, because you always hit her, scold her, and bully her, so she canât wait for you to die! Thatâs why she called for the man⊠that wild man taught her how to fight and get strong!â
âWhat?â Ho Laidi was furious, her hand landing forcefully on Chiang Caijiaoâs head, nearly causing her to fall to the ground, âYou worthless good-for-nothing, you hope that I die?â
âI didnât say it; Chiang Xiao said it! She also said sheâs wanted to hit you for a long time, and if you provoke her again, she will hit! But you probably wouldnât dare provoke her anymore; she said you are a cowardly old turtle hiding away, too scared to confront her!â
âIâll X her mother, that dead wretch, she really said that?â Ho Laidiâs eyes widened with rage, her hair seemingly about to catch fire, grabbing a shoe and furiously swatting at Chiang Caijiao with it, âHearing her talk so big, you didnât dare bite her to death! What good are you as a worthless good-for-nothing?â
The shoe slapped down hard on Chiang Caijiao repeatedly; she shielded her head while crying and screaming, âGranny, you couldnât beat her; how could I possibly beat her?â
