14 Chapter 14 I'm going to settle accounts with that piece of trash right now!_1

Yang Li's face turned unbearably embarrassed; that loser was becoming increasingly brazen!

Did he really think she didn't act because she was afraid?

It was entirely because Liu Yuanpeng was fully dedicated to preparing for the wedding tomorrow and really didn't have the time to spare.

After all, quite a few business bigwigs were expected to attend; she couldn't afford to neglect them, and it was also related to Liu Yuanpeng's future and career.

"Dad!"

"There's no need for Yuanpeng to handle this, I'll go settle the score with that loser right now!"

Yang Li could no longer restrain the fury in her heart.

That loser had caused her to lose face in front of so many people at Tianyige yesterday, he truly deserved a good beating.

"Hmph!"

Yang Guochao watched his daughter leave, then said with a distressful expression, "My child, our family won't let that loser go!"

Yang Cheng, who had just had surgery, was still under the effect of the anesthesia, so he couldn't hear any of those words at all.

But when Yang Li arrived at the urban village with over a dozen people, she started shouting, "Throw it!"

"Write the words 'scumbag' bigger; I want him to live the rest of his life unable to hold his head up high as a human being!"

The dozen or so painters didn't want to do such an offensive job, but Yang Li offered them too much money, so they pursued the task vigorously.

They poured buckets of red paint on the walls, and some even wrote "Scumbag, may you never have a good death" on the spot with a brush!

This scene attracted quite a crowd of onlookers; Yang Li often came here, so the neighbors recognized her.

And her conducting such behavior naturally led to gossip.

After all, Chen Yue'e's family were all honest people!

But Yang Li not only didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary, she stood defiantly with hands on hips and barked, "What are you looking at?"

"My husband is a multimillionaire, he's got plenty of money; do you all want to enjoy this treatment as well?"

Threat!

Naked threat!

The community in the urban village naturally didn't have many wealthy people living in it, and even those who were not short of money were afraid to provoke such an unreasonable and fierce woman, so they all started to hide.

Seeing that no one dared to oppose her, Yang Li grew even more arrogant, "Whoever curses this scumbag to death, I'll pay one thousand yuan for an afternoon of your troubles!"

She wanted to destroy Zhou Yuan's reputation so that no one would dare to have any dealings with Zhou Yuan's family.

Discuss marriage?

Wishful thinking!

Zhou Yuan was fated to remain a bachelor for life!

Most neighbors, upon hearing this, chose to leave, but some of the women, seeing a profitable opportunity, decided to stay and fight!

"Zhou Yuan, you dead scumbag!"

"Chen Yue'e, you shameless woman, raising such a rotten son!"

"Both mother and son, utterly shameless!"

"..."

Suddenly, a chorus of abuse rose up!

This caused the number of spectators to grow even larger.

Yang Li didn't even bother to pretend anymore, laughing hideously, as if she had finally released all her pent-up malice.

"Fellow neighbors, my son and I... we haven't wronged you all, have we?"

"Why do you have to curse so unpleasantly?"

The straightforward Chen Yue'e, after a hard day's work, came back home on her bicycle only to see this scene unfolding, instantly felt her blood pressure skyrocket with anxiety!

"You widow cursed with misfortune, you're nothing but a jinx!"

"A woman who couldn't even bear a son, and yet you went out to steal a fatherless and motherless wild child!"

"You must have done too many unkind things in your past life!"

"..."

The minority of the gossipy women who stayed for the benefit continued their insults without any regard for who was right or wrong, growing more and more vicious with every word.

After all, an afternoon of cursing could earn them a thousand yuan—which was not an everyday opportunity.

And their words pierced Chen Yue'e's heart like knives: "You... you all..."

She was a widow, a woman who had never borne a son—these were undeniable facts.

And Zhou Yuan wasn't her biological child either!

Having struggled to raise Zhou Yuan and her daughter since her husband's death was hard enough, but now to be ridiculed to her face was unbearable heartache.

Tears streamed down her haggard cheeks as she trembled and pleaded, "Li Li, stop causing trouble, okay?"

"If Xiao Yuan has done anything wrong, I'll apologize to you on his behalf, alright?"

In truth, she knew that her son, by his character, could not possibly have harmed Yang Li, but...

She didn't want to be entangled in this any longer.

"Slap..."

Yang Li slapped her hard and berated, "You old thing, now you think to beg me?"

"Do you realize how arrogant your son has been?"

"He broke my brother's two legs!"

Years of hard work had left gaps in Chen Yue'e's health, she might appear strong on the surface, but in fact, it was all a facade.

When the fake strength was stripped away, all that was left was endless fatigue and weakness.

The slap, coupled with the insults raining down from the sky, made Chen Yue'e collapse to the ground, overwhelmed by grief and anger, her blood pressure soaring.

"Mom!"

Zhou Yuan, who had returned from the mountain-top villa, saw the scene before him, and all the rage he had suppressed over the past few days surged to his heart.

His eyes bloodshot, he roared, "Yang Li, you vicious woman, I won't let you go!"

In the years he had spent with Yang Li, his family indeed didn't have money, but he had treated Yang Li like a princess, and his mother treated her like a daughter, fulfilling her every desire.

But Yang Li's betrayal showed that the sincerity of a poor person was worth nothing in front of a rich person's money!

"Hmph..."

Gazing down at Zhou Yuan, who was kneeling on the ground holding Chen Yue'e, Yang Li arrogantly crossed her arms and snorted, "I never planned to let you off. Wait until Yuanpeng and I are married; you'll pay the price!"

"This is just the beginning!"
