Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Jealousy_1 Chapter 440: Chapter 440 Jealousy_1 Her eyes turned colder as she looked at Zhou Yongxian. She quickly explained, “It was Jinlan who told me that Jiang Nanfei and Qiao Jingxuan were seeing each other. I went to question Qiao Jingxuan and the truth came out. He admitted he and Jiang Nanfei had already been together for some time and they even slept together! I was so furious that I wanted to teach Jiang Nanfei a lesson.”
Her body was shaking like a sieve, “I didn’t expect her to be so weak, a push sent her tumbling down from the top of the stairs.”
Zhou Yongxian slapped Yang Xueshan across the face, “Fool! What have I done to deserve a daughter-in-law like you? Out of all the candidates, how did I end up with you?”
The biggest regret of her life was taking Yuan Xueshan as her daughter-in-law.
Usually, she refrains from saying harsh words, trying to keep up appearances. But today, she lets it all out.
“Look at yourself. See what sort of person you are? Whether it’s in terms of looks, qualification, temperament, or character, do you even match my son? My son is a graduate from Imperial City University. You are not even fit to carry his shoes. Yet, I still chose you as my daughter-in-law despite everything.”
“Answer truthfully, in all these years since you came into this family, have I, as your mother-in-law, ever troubled you?”
Yuan Xueshan bit her lip, not uttering a word.
“When it’s you in question, I have never complained. What rights do you have to harm my Nan Fei? Answer me!”
Yuan Xueshan, being questioned, broke down into uncontrollable sobs, unable to utter a single word.
“Just look at yourself. Foolish, ignorant, narrow-minded, believing whatever others say. You lack brain and tact such that even a finger of Nanfei’s is more valuable than you. You dare to criticize her? Usually, for Bei Jiang’s sake, I refrain from commenting. But you are becoming increasingly outrageous.”
“I…” Yuan Xueshan wanted to explain, but she felt completely muddled, so ashamed that she could not utter a word.
“I am a mother-in-law, and you too will be one someday. Answer me, how will you compare to me as a mother-in-law? What right do you have to criticize others?”
He Shasha enjoyed the scolding thoroughly, wishing she could applaud.
“It would be best if Nanfei is fine. If not, prepare to go to jail!”
“Go back to your room. I don’t want to see you here,” said Zhou Yongxian, unable to bear playing the ‘good mother-in-law’ anymore. Scornfully, she commanded, “Get lost!”
Yuan Xueshan, thoroughly chastised, returned to her room in a wretched state.
Once she left, Zhou Yongxian suddenly felt weak and unable to stand.
He Shasha dismissed the group of ruffians and their girlfriends that she had assembled from the province, then came to Zhou Yongxian’s side. She tried to curry favor, “Granny Huo, I used to think you were a bad person. Turns out, we’re part of the same team.”
Zhou Yongxian ignored her. He Shasha, not finding it boring, went on to recount the day’s events at the school. Towards the end, she heaved a sigh of worry.
“I hope Nanfei is okay! I am sure her family knows about it now. This is so worrisome!”
Zhou Yongxian felt dizzy and signaled He Shasha to pour her a glass of water.
“Granny Huo, are you okay?”
Zhou Yongxian, having weathered many storms, gradually calmed down. She knew she had to keep her temper in check, as any mishap on her part would throw the family into deeper chaos.
“Relax, Nanfei will be fine.”
He Shasha’s eyes lit up, “How do you know?”
“My son and grandson will ensure Nanfei is taken to the best hospital, attended by the best doctors.”
“Right! Even the principal sent a helicopter!” He Shasha admitted, feeling impressed.
