Chapter 40: Useless Legs, Run!

The next second, she was sent flying by a kick.

With a loud “bang,” she hit the ground, sending up a cloud of dust, her agonized screams nearly deafening.

The neighbors all stared in shock.

God, just watching that looked painful.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed Fu Mingxue had that much strength.

No one went over to help Bai Siqi.

Honestly, she had it coming.

Normally, wouldn’t you keep your head down? But she just had to show off in front of everyone—

If she didn’t get kicked, who would?

Bai Siqi was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She howled nonstop—she felt like her back was broken.

Mom, it hurts so much!

As soon as she called for her mom, Mrs. Bai’s shrill scream rang out, “—Siqi!”

She rushed over and squatted next to Bai Siqi, wailing like a banshee, “Siqi, my Siqi, what happened to you—”

“Mom, it hurts, I think my bones are broken—” Bai Siqi sobbed, tears falling like rain.

“What? Broken bones?” Mrs. Bai couldn’t believe it.

Then she stood up and glared fiercely at Fu Mingxue.

“Fu Mingxue, you heartless wretch, what gives you the right to hit my daughter?”

Fu Mingxue raised an eyebrow and sneered, “Because she had it coming! I’ve never seen someone do something bad and not try to hide, but instead come right up to my face. What, you want to hurt me a few more times?”

“Or is it that you’re not satisfied unless you steal my college admission letter?”

“Can’t you just get in on your own? If you don’t have the brains for it, why steal someone else’s spot? What, you think if you can’t even handle high school, you’ll magically understand college?”

Bai Siqi: …?

Her face went from pale to green.

Honestly, she really didn’t get it.

She didn’t understand a word.

But so what? She wasn’t in it for the education anyway—she just wanted the prestige.

With a college student’s status, people would look up to her wherever she went.

Besides, in her past life, even though she didn’t get into that Beijing research institute, she still became a researcher somewhere! Even Song Yan had to treat her with respect.

Her kids admired her to no end.

Could an ordinary housewife who just cooked at home ever have that?

Thinking of this, she was even more determined to follow the same path as her previous life.

“—Fu Mingxue, you broke my bones! I’m going to sue you—”

“Go ahead, sue me, I’ll be right here waiting—perfect, because I want to sue you too, for being scheming and relentless.”

Just as Fu Mingxue finished speaking, the front door creaked open.

Fu’s mother came out, holding a rolling pin.

Her face was twisted with rage.

“Broken bones, huh? I don’t think so. If they’re not broken, then your lawsuit is pointless. I’ll make sure your bones are really broken now, so there’s no doubt about it!”

With that, she charged at Bai Siqi and her mother, waving the rolling pin.

Mrs. Bai was so terrified she bolted, not even caring about her daughter—just running for her own life.

After all, she knew full well that Xu Zifeng—this crazy woman—would really do it.

Bai Siqi was stunned.

She never expected her mom to abandon her and run.

Seeing Fu Mingxue’s mom swinging that rolling pin right at her, she scrambled to her feet and dashed off—

Fu’s mother chased after her, rolling pin in hand. “Don’t run! Stand still and let me smash your bones! I’m not afraid of going to jail—”

Hearing this, especially the footsteps pounding after her, Bai Siqi ran even faster.

God, this is freaking terrifying.

Useless legs, run for your life—"
