Free Web NovelChapter 40: Chapter 40: Run, Legs, Run
The next second, she was sent flying by a kick.
She landed with a THUD, kicking up a cloud of dust, accompanied by a deafening scream.
The neighbors’ eyes widened in astonishment.
Good heavens, that had to hurt just watching it.
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed Fu Mingxue was that strong.
No one stepped forward to help Bai Siqi.
She totally deserved it.
Shouldn’t she have been the one to lie low? But no, she just had to prance around in front of her—
If she wasn’t asking for a kick, who was?
Tears streamed down Bai Siqi’s face as she wailed in pain—she felt like she had broken a bone in her back.
’Mom, it hurts so bad!’
Speak of the devil, Mrs. Bai’s shriek cut through the air. "—Siqi!"
She ran over and knelt beside Bai Siqi, wailing dramatically, "Siqi, my dear Siqi, what’s wrong—"
"Mom, it hurts. I think my bone is broken—" Bai Siqi sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"What? A broken bone?" Mrs. Bai was incredulous.
Then she stood up and shot a ferocious glare at Fu Mingxue.
"Fu Mingxue, you bitch! What gives you the right to hit my daughter?"
Fu Mingxue raised an eyebrow and sneered. "Because she was asking for it, of course! I’ve never seen someone who’s done something wrong not hide away, but instead insist on showing up right in front of me. What, are you hoping to ruin me a few more times?"
"Or what, are you just not happy until you’ve managed to steal my university acceptance letter from me?"
"Can’t you just take the exam yourself? If you don’t have the brains for it, what’s the point of stealing someone else’s spot at university? Do you really think that if you can’t even handle high school, you’ll suddenly understand university lectures?"
Bai Siqi: ...?
Her face alternated between pale and ashen.
’It’s true, I really can’t understand it.’
’I don’t get it. I don’t get it at all.’
’But what does that matter? It’s not like I’m going for the education. I’m going to burnish my reputation.’
’With the status of a university student, wouldn’t people look up to me wherever I go?’
’Besides, even though I didn’t get into the Beijing Research Institute in my past life...’
’I still became a researcher at some institute! Even Song Yan had to suck up to me, didn’t he?’
’My children absolutely adored me.’
’Is that something a common housewife, stuck by the stove all day, could ever have?’
At this thought, her resolve to walk the same path as her previous life hardened.
"—Fu Mingxue, you broke my bone! I’m going to report you—" freewebnovel.cσ๓
"Go on, report me. I’ll be right here waiting. In fact, it’s perfect. I’m going to report you for harboring malicious intent and refusing to give up your crooked ways."
Just as the words left Fu Mingxue’s lips, the gate opened with a CREAK.
Mrs. Fu came out, brandishing a rolling pin.
Her expression was ferocious.
"A broken bone, is it? I don’t think so. It’s probably not broken, so you’d be reporting me for nothing. I’ll make sure it’s one hundred percent broken right now. That way, we can make your claim legitimate, can’t we?"
And with that, she charged at Bai Siqi and her mother, rolling pin held high.
Mrs. Bai, terrified by this display, turned tail and ran.
She completely forgot about her daughter, caring only about saving her own skin.
After all, she knew all too well that the madwoman, Xu Zifeng, would actually dare to hit her.
Bai Siqi was dumbfounded.
She couldn’t believe her mother had just abandoned her and run off.
Seeing Fu Mingxue’s mother swing the rolling pin, about to bring it down on her, she scrambled to her feet in a flash and ran—
Mrs. Fu chased after her, swinging the rolling pin. "Don’t run! Stand still and let me smash your bones! I’m not afraid of going to jail—"
Hearing this, and especially the sound of footsteps chasing her from behind, Bai Siqi ran even faster.
’God, this is so damn scary.’
’Move, you useless legs, move—’
