My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Chapter 174 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 4

While Xue Lin was introducing her husband to her family, she saw her mother's movement. That's why she already braced herself. For some unknown reason, she didn't want to move when she saw her mother raise her hand.

Right before she was slapped, she subconsciously closed her eyes and then the heavy slap fell on her cheek. Her white jade-like skin turned red instantly showing how vicious that strike was.

"Mom! You shouldn't!" Fa Jingfei sounded worried and yet, she was sitting on the couch.

Xue Lin didn't bother to look at her. She didn't even flinch when she was attacked. She didn't even touch her swollen cheek. She calmly looked at her mother. Her eyes were void of emotions. She asked, "Why did you slap me?"

Li Lifen was fuming as she glared at her youngest daughter. She felt like she was going to rip the face off that poker face.

Ge Chen was momentarily stunned. He didn't imagine someone would abuse his wife right in front of him, especially her own mother. He let his guard down. If he wasn't nervous about how to introduce himself to his in-laws, he could have prevented Xue from getting slapped.

He pulled Xue Lin in his side and checked her puffed-up cheek. His pupils dangerously shrank. He quietly asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Xue Lin slightly smiled at him and replied, "Nah, I got used to it."

Her expression and her words made his heart wrench. He blamed himself for letting his guard down when she clearly explained to him how she was mistreated by her family.

His step-mother and step-brother hurt him. That was one thing. However, Xue Lin's own parents abused her even though she did nothing wrong. It was completely different. How hurt she must have been for someone who valued relationships.

Li Lifen shrieked, "How dare you come to my house so shamelessly? You dare to leave the house, wander from street to street and marry a random man! Shame on you!"

"Shame on me?" Xue Lin chuckled. "Are you saying that it wouldn't be a shame if I married that loser who was eyeing my sister's chest and was inviting her to be his woman right in front of us and his family? You wouldn't allow your beloved eldest daughter to marry that jerk and you wanted to shove me onto him. Did you feed your heart to the hyena? Which mother can be this ruthless to their own daughter?"

Li Lifen retorted, "I'm your mother. I know what's best for you."

Xue Lin let out a chuckle. "Only a brainless idiot will believe you. Did you think just because you were born without a brain, I have the same issue? Sorry, my brain is healthier than your eldest daughter."

Li Lifen reprimanded her, "How can you be jealous of your own sister? You shameless wench!"

She raised her hand again but it was caught by Xue Lin. She icily glared at her mother and warned her, "Just because I let you hurt me once, doesn't mean I will twice. And, why the hell would I feel jealous of someone who is a divorcee?"

"How could you mock your own sister?" Li Lifen always thought that her youngest daughter was a narrow-minded, jealous girl who tried to take whatever good her eldest daughter was.

Xue Lin indeed took some of her sister's stuff when she was little. However, then, she didn't have dolls, picture books and pastel colors but her elder sister had. Her elder sister didn't let her use them because she was only three years old and she ripped the pages of the books and used color with so much force that the color would break. That was when she was a child. After she had her own stuff, she didn't need to borrow her sister's belongings any longer.

A child is born with love, hate and jealousy. When they are younger, they don't understand things and express their naked sentiments. However, they grow up slowly and learn many things. They learn to control their own emotions.

Xue Lin had the same issue when she was young. However, it didn't mean that she didn't change. On the other hand, her mother always thought of her as Fa Jingfei's enemy and why is that, even Xue Lin couldn't understand.

Her mother wasn't the brightest person in the house but it made her suffer. There was no way Xue Lin could tolerate when someone abused her. No matter who it was.

Xue Lin smirked. "Did I mock her? I want to rip her into shreds for what she had done to my mobile, passport and credit card. Oh, you are also her partner in crime. Tell me, how should I teach you two a lesson? My hand is itching to beat you two up."

As always, she didn't forget to share what she was feeling. It made her real good when she could vent on those who hurt her.

"Xue Lin, you should be more respectful to your mother!" Fa Xiaodan chided his youngest daughter.

"I only respect a well-behaved dog, not a mad dog." Xue Lin looked at her father with hatred and said, "And, I dare you to try teaching me something when you almost sold me to that jerk. Don't think I'll easily let you go even if you are the one who raised me. I will spread the news about how you three treated me to the society and I will see how you can show your face to your relatives, friends and neighbors. I'll have society to judge you and criticize you to the point you three will try to kill yourselves. So, think before you act."

"…" Fa Xiaodan became silent. He was hurt to see how his daughter who supported and loved him the most began to look at him like that.

Fa Jingfei spoke in a miserable voice, "X-Xue Lin, I was only trying to do what should be good for you. I didn't know what kind of a person that guy was. I'm your sister. How can I want to harm you?'
