Chapter 143: Wreaking Havoc at the Xiao family
Translator: Lonelytree
“Xiao Lingyu, you bitch, come out now!” A series of sharp curses rang out in the Taoyuan Village in the middle of the night. The villagers were woken up. That included Father Xiao and Mother Xiao.
Mother Xiao sat up with a grunt. She looked at the dark sky outside and then looked at the time. It was 2 am. When she heard someone scold her daughter, she thought it was a dream. Then, she realized it was not a dream. Someone was really cursing their daughter.
“Dear, wake up!” Mother Xiao shook Father Xiao.
“What’s wrong?” Father Xiao was still a little fuzzy.
“Someone is scolding our daughter outside our house!” Mother Xiao said while putting on her clothes. “Let’s go out and see what’s going on!”
Father Xiao heard the loud curses, and his face turned up with anger. “Who is so crazy to curse people in the middle of the night?” They walked into the yard and were about to open the gate when Mother Xiao pulled her husband back. “Wait!”
“What’s wrong now?” Father Xiao asked with some confusion.
Chen Qiuying frowned and said, “That sounds like Lan Ergying.”
“What?” Father Xiao was confused. “Lan Erying? Let’s go see.” If it was really Lan Erying, he had some choice words for her too. Why was she cursing their daughter in the middle of the night?
By the time Father Xiao and Mother Xiao opened the yard door, there were already villagers standing outside. Someone was trying to persuade Lan Erying, “Sister Erying, what are you doing? Why do you have to come to people’s houses to shout in the middle of the night?”
“Dahua, you should persuade Erying!” Someone advised Chen Dahua, “This is midnight. You should go back and rest. We can talk about this tomorrow.”
“That’s right. Chen Dahua, Lan Erying, you are making it impossible for us to sleep. Can’t you talk about this tomorrow morning?”
“I don’t care if you people can sleep or not!” Lan Erying was stubborn. She pointed at these people and scolded, “You people from Taoyuan Village are horrible people. You bastards are shameless!”
The villagers were angry, being scolded for no reason.
“Lan Erying, what’s wrong with you? You are the one who came to shout nonsense in the middle of the night, and we’re the ones who are horrible?”
“Lan Erying, Chen Dahua, you two don’t want to sleep, but we need to sleep. You are disturbing the peace of the village. Who are the ones being unreasonable?”
“That’s right! Bring your loud mouths back to the Chen Village!”
After Father Xiao and Mother Xiao appeared, Lan Erying immediately turned her focus on the two. “Xiao Zhengyang, Chen Qiuying, you finally show up.” She looked behind them and couldn’t see Xiao Lingyu. She demanded, “Where is Xiao Lingyu, that bitch?”
“You’re the bitch!” Mother Xiao was furious, and she fired back. “Lan Erying, you bitch, who are you to talk about my daughter like that?”
Lan Erying said, “Your good daughter hooked up with some man to harm my son. Xiao Lingyu, come out now!” Lan Erying shouted, “You harmed our son so badly. You deserve to give us an explanation!”
“Lan Erying, are you high?” Mother Xiao said anything. “What does your son have to do with our daughter?”
Lan Erying suddenly pointed in a direction. Everyone looked and was shocked. There was a person lying there, covered by a thin flower quilt. However, it was too dark to tell the identity.
“Is that a person?”
“It appears to be. But who is it? Why would Chen Dahua and Lan Erying carry that person here?”
“Could it be Old Madam Chen?”
“Why would Chen Dahua and Lan Erying bring Old Madam Chen? And how can she remain so immobile when it’s so noisy. Something’s not right.”
“Oh no! I remember it now!”
“What is it?”
“When I returned to Chen Village, I heard from my relative that…” She lowered her head and said softly, “The Chen Family kid was paralyzed!”
“That’s the Chen Family kid? No way!”
People were shocked.
“How can this be?”
Lan Erying said, “Xiao Lingyu, you coward, what are you doing hiding at home? You don’t care to come to face what you’ve done?”
“Lan Erying, stop your bullshitting. My Yu ‘Er has done nothing wrong. Why would she be hiding from you?” Chen Qiuying scolded back. “If you want to act crazy, go back to your house. Don’t come here and disturb our peace and quiet.”
Lan Erying pointed at Chen Qiuying and cursed, “Chen Qiuying, let me tell you. I found out everything at City Z. It was because your good daughter hooked up with a man that this happened to my Ran ‘Er. My Ran ‘Er exposed their affair, and to cover it up, they attacked Ran ‘Er… My poor Ran ‘Er. Xiao Lingyu and her man are so ruthless. They caused my Ran ‘Er’s paralysis…”
She paused before continuing, “Dear villagers, you have to help me! Xiao Lingyu cheated on my son. When Ran ‘Er found out, she hired someone to stab Ran ‘Er. After she came back, she turned the story around and made my Ran ‘Er the bad person. If you were me, wouldn’t you come to demand an explanation from the culprit?”
Chen Dahua and Lan Erying didn’t expect to find out anything at City Z. However, Chen Ran was a special case. The news of a big company being suddenly purchased was big news. Furthermore, the chairman of Huiqing Group and his daughter both tried to kill someone. The daughter even heavily injured her new husband. This was sensational news. That was how Chen Dahua and his wife got the ‘truth’.
They confirmed that Chen Ran did marry the daughter of a big company’s boss. However, they couldn’t find out why the new couple turned on each other.
In the end, it was Chen Ran who filled them in the ‘details’. This was before Chen Ran was paralyzed. He was still waiting for surgery.
Chen Ran’s version of the story went like this: Xiao Lingyu brought a man to harm him and his new in-law.
Xiao Lingyu cheated on Chen Ran when they were in a relationship. Chen Ran found out about the affair. He was extremely angry and pained. He still pleaded with Xiao Lingyu to take him back, but Xiao Lingyu refused.
In his down moments, he was touched by the concern of his boss’ daughter. Therefore, he agreed to be with her, and they got married.
However, he didn’t expect Xiao Lingyu to get insane after the news of Chen Ran’s wedding came out. In order to take revenge, Xiao Lingyu had her man buy out his father-in-law’s company.
That man had power and influence, and he could control everything in City Z. His father-in-law’s company was bought not long after because of that man’s order.
In order to save his father-in-law’s company, he went to Xiao Lingyu to plead for mercy. However, his wife found out and misunderstood. In a fit of anger, she stabbed him.
Chen Dahua and his wife didn’t know anything, but they knew their son wouldn’t lie to them. When they heard the ‘truth’, they were burning with anger. They wanted to come back immediately and chop Xiao Lingyu into pieces.
However, Chen Ran said he needed to focus on healing first. He would settle the score with Xiao Lingyu later. Chen Ran had no idea his family wouldn’t be paying his hospital bills to save his life. His surgery went smoothly, but due to a lack of post-surgery treatment, he was paralyzed overnight. This was his family’s fault because they refused to pay the hospital.
After that, his parents started a ruckus at the hospital until Chen Dahua received that call.
Lan Erying said hatefully, “Chen Qiuying, your daughter is indecent and vicious. She harmed my son. When she came home, she slandered my Ran ‘Er’s name. How hateful! Xiao Lingyu, come out now! If you don’t give us an explanation, we’re not leaving!”
People were sympathetic to the weak. Furthermore, many people didn’t know the truth.
When Lan Erying said Xiao Lingyu was the reason Chen Ran was paralyzed, they naturally sympathized with Chen Ran.
“Sister Erying, is what you said true? Your kid is paralyzed because of Xiao Lingyu?”
“Of course!” Lan Erying confirmed, “Xiao Lingyu, that bitch and his man worked together to harm my son.”
People were shocked.
“This is horrible. Chen Ran is such a wonderful young man, but he’s paralyzed now. What will he do in the future?”
“Indeed! Poor Chen Ran!”
People didn’t name Xiao Lingyu, but they were clearly talking bad about her.
Mother Xiao was so angry she almost fainted. Mother Xiao said loudly, “Lan Erying, stop talking nonsense. Chen Ran did this to himself. It has nothing to do with my Yu ‘Er!”
Lan Erying scolded angrily, “Chen Qiuying, we’ll know if I’m talking nonsense when you get Xiao Lingyu to come out here! We’ll ask her if she has collaborated with a man to cause my Ran Er’s company to be ruined!”
They didn’t know the whole truth, but Chen Ran did tell them Xiao Lingyu had brought a man to mess with his father-in-law’s company. The doctors and nurses also verified that part of the story.
“Lan Erying, stop adding your own imagination to the truth. The collapse of Chen Ran’s company has nothing to do with my Yu ‘Er!”
“In that case, why don’t you let her come out to face us?”
Someone immediately added in a sinister tone. “Xiao Lingyu has already driven to the county town with a group of men!”
“What!” A sharp scream cut through the night sky.
