Fang Liu hadn’t even been a part of the Mo family for two whole days when the Fang family came looking for her. After the three Fang family members went into the Mo family home, they casually sat on the sofa as though it was their own home.

Seeing that Fang Liu had been standing at the side, Xu Xiu scolded Fang Liu as she usually did in the Fang family home. “Why are you standing there like a tree? Are you blind? Don’t you know how to treat your guests? Pour us a drink! A dimwit will always be a dimwit!”

When the petite maid holding the freshly brewed, hand-ground coffee heard Xu Xiu, she was so scared that a cup almost fell to the ground.

‘Why is Young Madam Fang’s stepmother so aggressive? Young Madam Fang must’ve had a hard time in her previous home, from the looks of it.’

The petite maid immediately felt sympathy for Fang Liu.

Fang Liu looked at the young maid and said calmly, “Please, bring the coffee over.”

As soon as Fang Liu said that, Fang Yan’s sharp voice sounded, “Oh, you think you’re a noble lady? Do you think you are the boss now that you’re married? Bring the coffee over by yourself, quickly!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fang Yan became envious when Fang Liu ordered the maid to bring over the coffee. ‘Fang Liu is a dimwit. How could someone like her ever be noble?’

Fang Yan wanted to teach Fang Liu a lesson. However, Fang Liu frowned and remained still. She had endured enough ridicule from the Fang family. Now that Fang Liu had severed all ties with the Fang family, she no longer needed to indulge these people.

Fang Yan had initially thought that Fang Liu would obey her orders with a terrified expression, just like when she was still a member of the Fang family. However, Fang Yan did not expect her to stay still— this was a slap to Fang Yan’s face.

Fang Yan was furious. She abruptly stood up, took the cup of hot coffee on the table, and proceeded to throw it at Fang Liu. “B*tch, are you deaf? How dare you disobey me?!”

Just as the hot coffee was about to hit Fang Liu, the petite maid next to her screamed and quickly protected Fang Liu. The hot coffee spilled onto the maid’s back, and the petite maid fainted from the pain.

The petite maid knew that Young Madam Fang Liu was second only to Young Master Mo Yu. If something were to happen to Fang Liu, the petite maid would be in trouble too.

The maid also knew that Fang Liu was four months pregnant. The petite maid was a kind-hearted person and immediately thought that she could not let anything bad happen to Fang Liu and the child in her womb.

Fang Liu held the petite maid who was trembling from the pain and yelled, “Call a doctor!”

Fang Liu proceeded to glare at Fang Yan and said in a somber tone, “Fang Yan, you’ve gone too far.”

Fang Liu didn’t expect the hot cup of coffee to miss Fang Liu. Fang Yan was frustrated as she snorted and said, “She’s just a lowly servant.”

Fang Liu’s heart was filled with anger. Only then did Fang Liu realize how heartless a human could be.

“Don’t just stand there like a buffoon. We came to collect the one hundred million yuan that we were promised. Hurry up and fetch us our money,” Fang Yan said arrogantly as she raised her thin eyebrows.

Fang Liu was filled with anger. The Fang family came to the Mo family home, attempted to throw a cup of hot coffee at her, and ended up injuring one of the Mo family’s maids. Yet they still had the nerve to ask for money.

‘How could they be so thick-skinned?’

“Have you forgotten? I had already signed an agreement with you all before I left. I no longer have ties with the Fang family. Why should I give you one hundred million yuan?” Fang Liu stood up and looked coldly at the three Fang family members.

Xu Xiu exclaimed, “What are you talking about? That betrothal money was originally meant for us. Don’t you dare think of claiming it all for yourself? Hurry up and hand it over to us. We’ve raised you for more than twenty years, you heartless thing. Now that you’re rich, you won’t acknowledge us anymore?!”

“Raise me?” Fang Liu sneered.

“My biological mother pays living allowances to the Fang family every year. This amount of money is more than enough to raise ten of me. After all those years, what kind of life did I have in the Fang family home? I’ve never even had a new set of clothes to wear. Whenever Fang Yan was in a bad mood, she would lock me in a small dark room with no food to eat.”

As Fang Liu continued, Fang Bin’s face became paler. He looked at a person who had appeared behind Fang Liu.. Fang Bin’s face looked as though he’d seen a ghost.
