“Are you done?” Su Wanwan asked coldly. Before Su Yanyan could respond, Su Wanwan swung her hand again.

Smack!

Su Yanyan shrieked as her other cheek throbbed from the slap. Humiliated and angry, she rushed towards Su Wanwan to attack her.

Rolling her eyes, Su Wanwan merely stepped aside and Su Yanyan went crashing to the ground. Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes at her sister, and a few seconds later…

“Brother Yun! Brother Yun!”

Su Yanyan’s pitiful cries resounded in the entire villa. As though everything had been rehearsed, the door to the room beside them swung open immediately.

Jiang Yi or Mistress Su, who was Su Yanyan’s mother, rushed out of the room, followed by her husband, Su Yuntang.

When Jiang Yi saw her daughter crying miserably on the ground, a large red palm print on her cheek, she gasped and hurried over to help her up. “Yanyan, what is going on?”

“Mom!” Su Yanyan whined, holding her cheek. “Elder sister found out that I was with Brother Yun, and when I tried to explain things to her, she refused to listen and started hitting me instead!”

Jiang Yi looked at Su Wanwan, a troubled expression on her face. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Wanwan, why would you…”

“Yes, I hit her. What’s wrong with that?” Su Wanwan replied challengingly as she folded her arms in front of her chest. “She shamelessly seduced and hooked up with her elder sister’s fiancée at such a young age. Since you, as her mother, do not know how to teach her proper manners and values, then as her sister, I should! She needs to learn courtesy, justice, integrity, and shame.”

With each word Su Wanwan spoke, Jiang Yi’s face turned paler and paler. Tears started welling up in her eyes, but she held them back and lowered her head quickly.

The effect of this pitiful look was instant.

“Scoundrel!” Su Yuntang bellowed, striding over to Su Wanwan and slapping her across the face.

Su Wanwan’s head swung from the impact, and she heard Jiang Yi exclaiming loudly, “Yuntang, what are you doing? How can you hit a child?”

“A child?! She will be twenty soon, but she is still so impudent! You are always being kind to her and speaking up for her, but look at her attitude! She has never once respected you or treated you as her elder before!”

“Yuntang, don’t say that-”

“He’s right.” Su Wanwan turned to face them before smiling slightly. “When parents do not set a good example, their children will behave in the same manner. When I see people like her who instigate their own daughter to stick their nose in someone else’s relationship, I feel so disgusted that I want to vomit!”

Su Wanwan looked at Su Yuntang with her beautiful phoenix eyes, ridicule and provocation clear in her gaze. The peach blossom mole under her right eyelid was even more prominent above the glaring red palm print her father had given her.

Su Yuntang always felt uncomfortable when he looked at the peach blossom mole on her face. It reminded him of that skittish woman he resented so deeply.

Both mother and daughter actually had a peach blossom mole in the exact same place.

That was the biggest stain in Su Yuntang’s life!

He gritted his teeth, trying to contain his anger, but he could not stand it and raised his right hand to hit her again.

“Yuntang, don’t. You can talk nicely if there is anything that you are unhappy with, but do not hit your own child,” Jiang Yi protested as she pretended to hold her husband back.

Jiang Yi was forty this year, but because she spent so much to maintain her looks, she was still very slender and youthful. Her pitiful expression would have made anyone feel sorry for her.

As the saying went: ‘like mother like daughter’. Both Jiang Yi and Su Yanyan were extremely good actresses and experts in playing the role of a white lotus.

In public, she was always the generous, gentle, and virtuous Mrs. Su who could even be patient with an illegitimate daughter like Su Wanwan.

If Su Wanwan had not seen it for herself, she would never have believed that such a good person could deliberately have her cut herself on a broken dish so she could use her blood to do a paternity test in secret.

“Wanwan, I understand that you have suffered a lot of grievances and you feel seriously wronged. I also know that you like Yuyun very much, but… you should know Yanyan’s character, right? She just likes Yuyun very much, she did not mean to fight with you for his affection,” Jiang Yi explained slowly.

“Is that so?” Su Wanwan asked indifferently.

She suddenly lowered her head and took an envelope out of her bag.

She opened it, and started tossing pictures of Su Yanyan and Xing Yuyun together onto the ground. Every picture was shockingly intimate.

It was horrifying!
