Chapter 70: Stop Daydreaming

Madam Fu was stunned.

“Fu Mingya, what are you scheming now?”

“I don’t care what you’re up to, just leave. Our family doesn’t need your help.”

Fu Mingya’s eyes were red, her face full of hurt. “Second Aunt, I know you still resent the mistake I made back then. I was just so scared and lost my head for a moment. Besides, at the time, First Aunt kept saying that Mingxue could go too, that she was also part of the Fu family. I just got confused for a moment.”

“These past two years in the countryside have been so hard for me. Only now do I realize how tough rural life is. I’ve been regretting my mistake and I’m so grateful Mingxue didn’t go, otherwise my conscience would never be at peace. Second Aunt, you’re all leaving soon—just let me help out for a few days, so I know you don’t hate me anymore—”

Madam Fu was shocked. “You still have a conscience?”

Fu Mingya looked up in disbelief. Did an elder really just say that to her?

What did she mean, “you still have a conscience”? Was she calling her heartless?

“Look at you. You’re not that young anymore, but your acting is still terrible. I don’t have time to watch your performance. After all, free things are always the most expensive.”

“Hurry up and go! Don’t dirty my eyes any longer.”

With that, Madam Fu slammed the door shut.

Fu Mingya’s face twisted in anger.

These two women are insane! How could they treat her like this?

And that old widow—she deserves to be alone for the rest of her life.

She glared venomously at the shabby door for a long moment before finally turning to leave.

In her heart, she swore that one day, she would get back at this mother and daughter for all the humiliation she’d suffered.

She would trample them under her feet.

As soon as she got home, Bian Yuqiao hurried over. “Well? Did you tell them? How did they react? Why are you back so soon?”

A barrage of questions hit Fu Mingya.

Fu Mingya was seething. “I told them. Second Aunt called me heartless and told me to get lost—”

“What? How dare she say that?” Bian Yuqiao was furious.

She’d gone to inform them out of kindness, and this was how they treated her?

“That’s exactly what she said. That mother and daughter are still holding a grudge about what happened when we went to the countryside. Mom, can you help me steal Fu Mingxue’s man? I want to marry him.”

Bian Yuqiao was stunned by her daughter’s bold words.

Heavens, even she hadn’t dared to think that far.

“Are you crazy? You, steal Fu Mingxue’s man? In terms of looks, you can’t compare. In terms of education, he’s about to be a college student, and you’ve only gone to school for a few years.”

Fu Mingya felt a storm of emotions inside. She was furious.

“Mom, I’m your daughter! How can you put me down like this?”

“Have you looked in the mirror?” Bian Yuqiao rolled her eyes. “You don’t even know your own worth. I told you to get along with Fu Mingxue so her man could introduce you to someone, not to steal him directly.”

“You think you could steal him?”

She was greedy, but not stupid.

Fu Mingxue’s man—did they really think he was someone ordinary people could manipulate?

Don’t end up dragging the whole family down.

“I’m warning you, stop having these crazy ideas. If you get the family in trouble, I won’t forgive you.”

With that, Bian Yuqiao walked off.

Fu Mingya was left trembling with anger.

Is this what a mother is supposed to be like?

Look at Fu Mingxue—her mother treats her so well.

But with her, her mother only has eyes for her son.

Hmph, if her mother wouldn’t help, then she’d just have to take matters into her own hands—"
