Rebirth of the Evil Mother-In-Law

Chapter 71 – One Would Only Feel the Pain When One Was Stuck With The Knife (2)

As the saying goes, one would only feel the pain when one was stuck with the knife. Li WangJin, after all the recent hardship, had temporarily forgotten about the affection he had for her. He couldn’t suppress the anger in his voice. “What have you done to him that he’d want to do such a thing?”

He has, after all, been in an authoritative position for dozens of years. Li WangJin looked very gentle normally, but when he was angry, it looked like he could burn her to ashes with his look alone.

Jiang YaGe, seeing him like that for the first time, almost started crying. “I… I didn’t do it on purpose! I didn’t think he’d be so vindictive. I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

She had only wanted to save him at first. She had no idea how they ended up where they were. Jiang YaGe felt on a subconscious level that things should not have come down this way.

“I am sorry, Dad. It was all my fault.”

Crying silently, she was drowned by both guilt and fear. On one hand, she felt guilty that she had brought about injuries to those around her; on the other hand, she worried that Wang Xiao would make another move on her and she was also worried that her adopted father would give up on her.

The Li WangJin in the past would have stood on her side as soon as he saw her tears. Perhaps, he had been seeing too many tears from her recently. He started having some immunity toward her tears. Now they just made him feel exhausted.

“You mean this was your fault? That strong acid was meant for you?” Sometime during their conversation, Wang SiXian had woken up. She looked like she was about to have a breakdown. “If it was your fault, why am I the victim of it?”

“Give me back my face!” The pain of losing her looks had destroyed Wang SiXian’s rationality and made her scream at Jiang YaGe hysterically like a mad woman.

Meeting her hateful look, Jiang YaGe reflexively took a few steps backward toward the door. She couldn’t handle the hatred coming from both Li WangJin and Wang SiXian. She felt only too ashamed to be standing in front of them. When she was just about to turn and leave, she bumped into a sturdy body. Just before she fell onto the ground, she was stopped by a pair of arms – it was Li ShiZe who had just arrived.

Jiang YaGe had given Li ShiZe a call after she had arrived at the hospital. Li ShiZe was busy with work at the time and was finally able to get there. When he saw the bawling Jiang YaGe, a part of his heart ached with her.

“What happened, YaGe? Had someone mistreated you?” Li ShiZe, who had just arrived, had no idea what was going on.

Sniffling, Jiang YaGe summarized what had happened and told him. Li ShiZe frowned a little and looked at her pretty and perfect face and let out a sigh of relief – lucky it wasn’t Jiang YaGe whose face was ruined.

As Wang SiXian was the person who had brought about his parents’ divorce, Li ShiZe was never that fond of her. Perhaps what happened to her was just her bad karma. He looked at Wang SiXian coldly and said, “YaGe was already very upset, how could you keep jabbing at her? She has always thought of you as her most important family member. Can’t you just be a little bit more considerate of her feelings? She had been so nice to you. She even stood up against my mother for her. Sure enough, an ungrateful white-eyed wolf like you is not worthy of being her family.”

Wang SiXian was stunned. Wasn’t she the biggest victim in this whole incident? How did she become the white-eyed wolf from Li ShiZe’s perspective?

“But I’ve lost my looks because of her!” She shrieked at the top of her lungs.

Li ShiZe’s look was very cold. “You’ve only lost your face; she is hurting inside.”

If Wang SiXian has a knife in her hand right now, she would not hesitate to stab Li ShiZe with it. She would never have guessed that Li ShiZe was capable of twisting the truth to this shameless extent. And yet, he was Li WangJin’s only son and heir. She had already lost her looks. If she was to offend Li ShiZe right now, the remainder of her life would be very pathetic.

The image of herself living in abject poverty in the future brought rationality into Wang SiXian’s mind right away, and she recollected herself immediately.

She went along with what he had said and cried. “You are right. I shouldn’t have taken it out on YaGe. I was unlucky and it wasn’t YaGe’s fault. I shouldn’t have done that to her.”

Her hand, hidden underneath her blanket, grabbed onto the bed sheet so tightly that there were marks on it. One of these days, she would get revenge for what happened to her today.

Li WangJin was a little dazed by that. Compared to Wang SiXian, all of a sudden, everything that had happened to him in the past seemed to be so insignificant. If Wang SiXian could forgive YaGe and he was still dwelling on it, that would make him the bad person.

If that was the case, why did he still feel so wronged?
