Chapter 26: Let the slapping party begin.
"You bastards!!!!" Mo Liang roared. "How dare you do this in front of me? Do you have any shame? Is this what you were up to when I was gone?"
Mei Mei stepped away from Mo Jingzhe, not because of Mo Liang’s words but because it was inappropriate. How could she be so close to her half naked younger brother-in-law in the presence of her daughter?
And what was wrong with Mo Jingzhe, why would he whisper such words to her?
[Congratulations host for accomplishing a hidden mission: Admiring the green tea’s physique and making him happy. You get one hundred points and one million yuan. You will gain more benefits if you touch...]
Mei Mei opened and closed her mouth, she could not bring herself to respond. It was crazy, her system was crazy!!! How could she touch Mo Jingzhe? This was akin to a frog eating a swan and in their case, he was the swan and she was the frog.
In the meantime, noise had not stopped as two bodyguards were holding Mo Liang back and two servants were holding on to Mrs. Sun. Mother and son were shouting, Mo Hao was crying and Mingzhu was giggling for some reason.
Mrs. Sun’s screaming was louder than the rest of the voices. "I knew that you were not a good person, how dare you cheat on my son. I will tell the world about this..."
Out of the blue, without warning, Feng Qi slapped Mrs. Sun. The sharp sound of palm hitting flesh stunned everyone into silence.
"I have always wanted to do that." Feng Qi declared. She rotated the right hand with which she had just slapped Mrs. Sun. "I raised my A Zhe with love and care, your wretched husband stole him from me. From the day he arrived in your Mo family, you blamed him for your husband’s cheating and took the anger out on him instead of dealing with the cheater. You beat my baby..." She slapped Mrs. Sun again. "Starved him." Another slap was given.
"Grandmother, and me...." Mingzhu pulled her hand out of Mo Jingzhe’s hand to mention her grievances.
Mei Mei scooped her daughter up quickly, Mingzhu was very feisty when she was wronged, she often fought for her rights physically.
"And you...." Feng Qi turned to Mo Liang. She rotated her hand in circles as if she was preparing to throw a punch.
Mei Mei handed Mingzhu to Jingzhe and she intervened. If anyone was slapping Mo Liang tonight, it would be her. First, she scanned his body and found two recording devices. Mo Liang was astounded and his eyes widened. He did not think that Mei Mei would scan his body for hidden bugs.
Mei Mei was only able to discover the bugs because her system warned her about their presence.
"We are getting divorced, do you think that you are only clever one?" Mei Mei laughed derisively. "When couples that hate each other divorce, it is not unusual for every side to attempt to get the higher hand. Your little tricks won’t work on me anymore. I am not the same blind Mei Mei that was tolerant of you." She reared her hand back and struck him on the nose.
She handed the recording devices to the male butler. "Throw this in the fire." Unfinished, she turned back to Mo Liang and struck him again, this time on the cheek.
"You hit me! Have you lost your mind?" Mo Liang shouted.
Mei Mei drew her head back and put her hands on her waist. "Why not? Are you special that you cannot be hit? Do you think that you are the emperor? Do I need a royal decree in order to beat you up? If that is the case then this general will rebel tonight and break down the palace walls." She threw her hand out and gave him two quick slaps.
Then, she moved from him to Tang Yue who was already frightened. If the two servants were not holding her, she would have taken her son already and run out of the house.
"As for you," Mei Mei pinched Yue’s chin. "My friend, you grew up calling me sister and yet you slept with my husband and got pregnant for him. You are not even worthy of my anger, you are just cheap. A cheap mistress, you and Mo Liang deserve each other."
She let go of the chin with disgust on her face as if being near Tang Yue was the grossest thing in the world.
"Throw them in the basement." Feng Qi told the servants. "From now on, that is where they will live until the divorce is finalized."
"What?" Mo Liang blurted out through swollen cheeks. "Mei Mei what do you mean by living in the basement. I am your husband, I don’t agree to divorce."
Mei Mei turned back to him and she punched him on the side. "Don’t even think about it. We are getting divorced and I am keeping my daughter. You and your mistress will get your happily ever after. I am just not sure if it will be as happy as you imagine in your tiny heads. Oh, and if you must live here, you have to do chores and pay rent. I do not take in freeloaders."
She waved her hand, gesturing for them to be removed from her presence. They were dragged out and marched downstairs to the basement which had been turned into a living space similar to a prison. Four tiny beds with light blankets had been prepared, there was one bathroom down there and no other supplies.
Feng Qi was the one that came up with the plan of putting them up in the basement if they showed up. Mei Mei had been skeptical, she thought Mo Liang would not really have the guts to show up but he had done so.
Feng Qi had said that since he was determined to fake the image of them still being together while he put his affairs in order, he would not want to live far from her. That left him with two options, buy a house in the area or find a way of moving in here and he had done exactly as predicted.
"I told you he would come." Feng Qi laughed. "And he brought the reporters to force your hand."
"Unbelievable." Mei Mei scoffed.
"He is a leech, as long as he can still get some value out of you he will continue squeezing until you run out of steam." Feng Qi added. "Daughter-in....Mei Mei," she quickly changed her address, "While he is here you must collect damning evidence to make sure that he does not keep our Mingzhu’s custody. You should not underestimate how gullible people are. All he has to do is cry in an interview and talk about his hardships in space and how much he missed his daughter and even judges will stand on his side and award him partial or full custody."
Mo Jingzhe sidled closer to her, barely leaving space for a fly to pass between them. "I have a friend that works in royal PR office, he said that those two cheaters have been given a strategy. If you publicly accuse them of having an affair, that Tang Yue will cry and claim that she was depressed after the death of her husband. In the process of cheering her up during the hardest time of her life, she and Mo Liang became close." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
