Chapter 224: Smash It for Me!

The foul words from the group of thugs made Song Ru’s face change. She pointed at the thugs and shouted sharply, “Was it the Zhang Family who told you to do this? Was it that shameless Wang Licui? She couldn’t get what she wanted through marriage proposal, so she used such vicious and cruel tricks. Does she still have any shame? When you go back, tell her that our Xinyu would rather marry a woman than her good-for-nothing son.”

“Song Ru, whose son are you calling good-for-nothing? I think your son is the real good-for-nothing. After all these years of cultivation, he’s still stuck at the Initial Stage of Muscle Training. Do you know what people at school call him? They call him Jiang the Useless. My son plays around all day, but he’s already reached the Peak Late Muscle-Tempering Stage and is about to break through to the Tendon Training Realm. But what about your son? No matter how hard he trains, he can’t reach the Tendon Training Realm. He’s a total loser.”

To Song Ru’s surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Wang Licui’s furious roar came from the second floor of the Small Fragrance Inn across the street. It turned out this shameless woman had been watching all along how the thugs from the Love Fire Bar bullied Song Ru and Jiang Xinyu. Zhang Long stood right beside her, both of them gleefully watching Song Ru and Jiang Xinyu suffer.

Unexpectedly, the thugs from the Love Fire Bar had let something slip, and Song Ru figured it out. She then insulted Wang Licui and Zhang Long right in front of everyone. Wang Licui couldn’t take it anymore. She opened the window and started cursing Jiang Xincheng.

Seeing Wang Licui, Song Ru’s anger flared up. She pointed at Wang Licui’s nose and yelled, “Wang Licui, have you no shame? First, you came to our house last night to force a marriage, and when that didn’t work, you used such despicable and shameless methods to bully us. With your disgraceful behavior, how dare you dream of becoming my in-law? And what about your good-for-nothing son? All he does is eat, drink, whore, and gamble. His measly strength was only built up by your family spending hundreds of thousands on Yuan Crystals. With that many Yuan Crystals, even a pig could reach the Peak Late Muscle-Tempering Stage. Your son isn’t even as good as a pig. Pigs may eat and sleep all day, but at least they don’t harm people. But your son? Everyone knows how many young girls he’s harmed in this town.”

“Mom, she’s insulting me. Get back at her for me!” Zhang Long was on the verge of tears after Song Ru’s tirade. He looked pitifully at Wang Licui.

Wang Licui jumped up in rage, pointing at Song Ru and shouting, “Song Ru, don’t you dare act so arrogantly! Your Bulk White Sugar killed someone. I’m calling the Department of Public Security right now to have both you and Jiang Xinyu thrown in jail. You’ll regret it then. And Li Dao, what are you all standing around for? Make them pay 200,000 Credit Points. If they can’t pay, smash her shop!”

Humiliated and enraged, Wang Licui realized she was no match for Song Ru in this argument. With nothing left to say, she decided to go all out and take drastic measures. The onlookers watched Wang Licui’s furious outburst and couldn’t help but point fingers and whisper about her. They didn’t dare provoke the thugs, but Wang Licui had no bodyguards around, so they felt free to mock her.

“So the mastermind behind this is that old witch Wang Licui. How shameless can she be? We’re all from the same town, and she stoops to such methods. Does she have any conscience at all?”

“That wretched woman Wang Licui has no conscience. Think about all the people she’s cheated and harmed over the years. How else could she live such a comfortable life? I heard she even killed people—her husband’s lovers. They all disappeared, and word is she did them in.”

“Wow, I never knew that old hag was so vicious. Someone like her deserves to be torn to pieces. The Jiang Family is so pitiful, to have caught the eye of the Zhang Family pervert.”

“I heard not only has that little pervert Zhang Long taken a liking to Xinyu, but even their old man Zhang Cai has his eyes on her. One time, I even saw Zhang Cai harassing Xinyu on the street. If Xinyu hadn’t run fast, he would have dragged her away by force. And they’re father and son! Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

…

The remarks from the neighbors turned Wang Licui’s face as dark as a pot. She wanted to lash out at them, but seeing that she had no bodyguards with her, she worried they might throw things at her if she provoked them. So, she directed her rage back at Song Ru and Jiang Xinyu. “Song Ru, hand over the money now, or your General Store won’t stay in business. Or, you can agree to marry that little slut Jiang Xinyu to my Xiaolong. Our Zhang Family will take care of this matter for you. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your Jiang Family is completely ruined!”

Since everyone already knew the truth, Wang Licui didn’t bother hiding it anymore. She bluntly stated her filthy intentions. Boos erupted all around. Even many of the thugs from the Love Fire Bar looked at Wang Licui with contempt. Clearly, even they thought she was utterly shameless.

“Xinyu, my dear, please say yes to me. I’ll make sure you live a good life from now on. And after we’re married, I promise I won’t look at other women. Even if my dad wants to sleep with you, I won’t allow it. I even yelled at him last night and told him not to touch you.” As the thugs from the Love Fire Bar closed in on Song Ru and Jiang Xinyu, Zhang Long couldn’t resist speaking up. But the moment he said those words, the surroundings fell silent.

Both the crowd and the thugs from the Love Fire Bar stared in shock at Zhang Long, this utter fool. Damn, this guy really knows how to dig his own father’s grave! How could he say something like that out loud? Watching Wang Licui’s face turn red with anger, someone suddenly burst out laughing.

Wang Licui had taken every precaution to prevent Zhang Cai from getting involved with other women, even going so far as to murder several of his lovers. She had scared Zhang Cai so much that he didn’t dare mess around with other women anymore. But she never expected that Zhang Cai would set his sights on the very girl his son liked—the girl Wang Licui was going to great lengths to bring into their family.

The whole situation was so twisted and disgusting to think about. Jiang Xinyu’s face flushed bright red. She glared fiercely at Zhang Long. “Zhang Long, you’re so shameless! Your whole family is shameless! I’d rather die than marry you, so just give up! Your family is disgusting, especially you.”

“Uh…” Zhang Long was stunned, his face turning ugly. “Xinyu, my dear, I really love you! Everything I said is true. My dad asked if he could have a turn with you after we’re married, and I cursed him out! He even beat me up because of it. Aren’t I good to you?”

“Get lost!” Jiang Xinyu couldn’t bear to listen anymore and covered her ears. Laughter erupted all around. Wang Licui felt utterly disgraced, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. She couldn’t help but smack Zhang Long hard on the head. “You idiot! If you don’t know how to talk, then shut your mouth! And when you and Jiang Xinyu get married, you’re moving out immediately. I’ll buy you two a house. You are not allowed to live in the family villa anymore, and especially not Jiang Xinyu.”

“Ha ha ha ha…”

As soon as she finished speaking, the onlookers below burst into laughter. This mother and son really knew how to screw over Zhang Cai. With that statement, Zhang Cai’s reputation as an old pervert was sealed. Even trying to hit on his own daughter-in-law, and saying it directly to his son? What a shameless father! You really don’t see someone like that every century.

Wang Licui turned black with rage from the mocking laughter of the crowd, her face alternating between green and white. She was so angry she could hardly catch her breath. “Smash it! Smash the Jiang Family’s General Store! And smash their house too! I want to make sure they can’t stay in Tongle Town any longer!”
