Mayor Zhai immediately resigned from his position as the town’s mayor and was adamant about divorcing the vicious Wu Cailan.
He could endure Wu Cailan’s unreasonable tantrums.
He could tolerate Wu Cailan’s pettiness and narrow-mindedness.
But he couldn’t stomach Wu Cailan ruining other people’s lives for her own selfish motives.
Even if Ye Linlang’s whereabouts were currently unknown, at least, Ye Tianxin and Grandmother were still alive.
Had Wu Cailan just told the truth, Ye Tianxin would not have been separated from her father for so many years.
Xie Xuning sneered. Some women unreasonably enjoyed causing troubles. The only person to blame was Wu Cailan. However, she refused to reflect on her actions. Instead, she blamed others for her misfortunes.
“Ms. Wu, you are mistaken,” Xie Xuning began, shaking his head. “You concealed the truth that my wife Linlang was still alive. You lied and said that my mother-in-law passed away. You separated me from my daughter for more than 10 years. We had no idea that we’re actually related when we first met. All of this is your fault. Why do you blame others? Do you think we will feel guilty if you stab yourself with a kitchen knife? You are the wicked one!”
Wu Cailan held the kitchen knife as she trembled the entire time. Her eyes were full of fear.
No, she wasn’t the one to be blamed!
This was all Ye Linlang’s fault!
She got pregnant out of wedlock.
She acted like a sl*t.
She shouted hoarsely, “Nonsense! It wasn’t my fault! It was clearly your woman’s fault for having an affair!”
Ye Tianxin couldn’t bear it anymore. She rushed forward and slapped Wu Cailan.
She couldn’t stand anyone insulting her mother.
At the same time, Ye Tianxin snatched the kitchen knife from Wu Cailan’s hand and threw it at her feet.
“Wu Cailan, do you know how unsightly you are right now? You are hideous that no one wants to look at you!” Ye Tianxin yelled. Her face was red. She was breathing heavily, and her heart was beating fast.
“You were jealous! You were so jealous that you wanted to ruin everything my mother had. But what could you do? You were disappointed! My mother was better than you. She studied medicine to save people and help the world. She was kind and compassionate. She never slandered anyone. She had a husband who loved her so much that despite having no news of her for more than 10 years, despite you all saying she’s dead, he remained single for her. My mother was incomparable. Deal with it. People still long for her even after decades. What about you? Will people long for you? Look at yourself! You are repulsive! Your husband and son were eager to stay away from you!”
Today was an unusually good day for Grandmother and Ye Tianxin.
Wu Cailan was desperately digging her own grave, but she was no pushover.
After Ye Tianxin had said her piece, Wu Cailan froze. Was she really inferior to Ye Linlang?
“Wu Cailan, you reap what you sow. You caused our family to be separated, and now, you will taste the bitter fruit you planted.”
Without regard for what people might say, Wu Cailan fell on the ground, wailing.
She wasn’t wrong.
Ye Linlang was.
How could she be wrong? No, this wasn’t her fault.
Mayor Zhai suddenly appeared and apologized to everyone. Then he immediately dragged Wu Cailan away.
The banquet resumed its liveliness. Back in the day, for the sake of money, some of the guests also lied about Ye Linlang and her mother being dead. They were feeling especially ashamed at the moment.
Some people, having had a drink or two, also came to Grandmother and said, “Back then, someone gave me a hundred yuan and told me to say something like this…”
