Chapter 391 - Teaching An Old Witch A Good Lesson
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Xu Xiyan stopped in her tracks. She glared coldly at the nagging old lady and sneered in her heart.
She had heard plenty of such derogatory words before.
This visually challenged old lady had always looked down on her and her mother.
When she came to think about it, she realized that in her painful past of one or two decades, much of her pain was caused by this old lady.
Although respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, Xu Xiyan could not bring herself to respect the old lady.
She stood in the old lady’s way and sneered, “That’s right, madam. I’m a troublemaker and a natural-born bringer of bad luck. I just couldn’t compare to my sister and I’m not as pleasant as her. I’m afraid that I’ll never learn to be a good human being in this lifetime.”
The old lady shot an angry look at her. “I don’t like listening to your words, girl. You said that you broke off from your family. Why did you come back?
Xu Xiyan smiled and told her, “No particular reason. I just wanted to give my regards to your son and your daughter-in-law, and also wouldn’t want to forget an undying old zombie like you. When are you going to visit Hades?”
“…” Madam Xu almost vomited blood. She pointed a trembling finger at Xu Xiyan but she was stunned speechless.
“Well, I’m done with my business here. Time to leave with Grandpa.”
Xu Xiyan brushed past the old lady and walked towards the stairs.
After Madam Xu regained her wits, she went into the study to find her son, complaining, “How preposterous! How outrageous! Jinshan! Go take care of that brat! She’s really revolting against us!”
As soon she entered the study, she saw two people with bruises all over lying in a pool of blood. Oh my god, were the two lying on the ground still her son and daughter-in-law?
Xu Xiyan was going downstairs when she heard someone behind her screaming like a pig in a slaughterhouse. “Oh my god! There was murder in the house! Someone’s been killed!”
She turned to look. Madam Xu had thrown her walking stick away and scrambled out of the study towards her. Seeing that Xu Xiyan had yet to leave, she chased after her and shouted, “You bastard! Stand right there for me! What have you done to them?”
Xu Xiyan ignored her and went straight downstairs.
Madam Xu chased after her but when she came to the stairs, she misjudged her step and lost her footing. She fell, rolling like a ball all the way down the stairs.
She kept rolling until her head hit the wall, and stopped right at Xu Xiyan’s feet.
The old woman had a great fall and now lay moaning on the ground in pain. She reached out to grasp Xu Xiyan’s ankles, begging her for help.
Xu Xiyan took a step back and giggled, “Oh my, Madam Xu, have you been watching Stephen Chow’s movies recently? And you’ve even learned his invincible wheels of fire stunt? Wow, your old bones are really tough, I’m impressed. I think you can definitely live longer than a tortoise, and at least for another five hundred years. Amazing!”
Madam Xu: “…”
“Well, I’ll leave you to your practice. I’m leaving.”
Xu Xiyan had no intentions of helping her. She lifted her foot away from her and left.
She was not being heartless and cold-blooded. She merely treated them the way she thought they deserved to be treated.
Those who are black-hearted will reap what they sow and they deserve harsh punishment. Xu Xiyan would never sympathize with them.
Outside the Xu family house main gate, Ye Xun waited in the car with the Xu family patriarch. After Xu Xiyan got into the car, Ye Xun started the engine.
The old man felt a little anxious being cooped up in the car. He kept hitting the car window, wanting to get out of the car.
Xu Xiyan took the old man’s hand and calmed him as if he was a child. “Grandpa, Yanyan is going to take you to a doctor. Be good, okay? Please don’t hit the window again.”
The old man seemed to understand and no longer struggled. Xu Xiyan looked at how old and weary he looked and felt an ever-growing sadness in her heart.
Although she already knew that she had no blood relationship with the Xu family and her grandfather wasn’t her biological grandfather, she still could not bear to leave him.
