When Tang Beibei heard Rong Charterâs words, she felt as if a thorn had pierced through her heart. She was distracted from her reading several times.
Ruan Qi consoled her, âWhy donât 1 go with you to see your grandmother?â
âThereâs no need. Iâm reading.â
Although Tang Beibei said that, her eyes were still glazed over.
If anything happened to her grandmother, the nursing home would call her.
She tried her best to calm down and read her book, but she heard her phone vibrate.
She took out her phone and saw that it was a call from the nursing home.
She quickly answered the call. âMiss Tang, I have some bad news. Your grandmother is missing. Weâve looked for her everywhere but we still couldnât find her.â
Tang Beibei stood up, tension filling her body.
âWhen did Grandma disappear?â
The nurse replied, âItâs been a few hours. She said she was going for a walk in the morning, but we didnât see her at lunch and we couldnât find her anywhere since.â
Tang Beibei quickly packed her things. Ruan Qi was worried and quickly followed her out of the library.
âBeibei, donât panic. Maybe your grandmother went out to do something or look for someone. Sheâll be back soon.â
âGrandma wouldnât leave the nursing home unless something big happened. What Rong Chanâer said at lunchtime must have something to do with my grandmotherâs sudden disappearance!â
Tang Beibeiâs footsteps were flustered. When she arrived at the girlsâ dormitory, she saw Rong Chanâer and ran over.
âRong Chanâer, do you know where my grandmother is?â
âWhat does your grandmotherâs whereabouts have to do with me?â
âYou must know or you wouldnât have said those things to me at lunchtime. Rong Chanâer, what do you want? My grandmother didnât hurt you, so why did you disturb her?â Tang Beibei roared.
Rong Chanâer felt wronged and retreated timidly.
âTang Beibei, how can you just accuse me? Although we are related, I donât know your grandmother.â
Rong Chanâerâs voice raised as her eyes reddened.
âYouâre the one whoâs lived under our roof. My family has never asked you for a single cent, but you stole my sisterâs man for money. Now youâre accusing me of disturbing your grandmother? Tang Beibei, what grudge is there between us that you have to treat me like this?â
When students walking by heard Rong Chanâerâs words, they stopped and hung around to watch the show.
Tang Beibei felt the critical gazes from the students around them. She suppressed her anger and asked again, âWhat did you do to my grandmother?â
âI havenât even met your grandmother. Tang Beibei, donât frame me.â Rong Chanâer said in a quivering voice.
An onlooking student couldnât take it anymore and said, âTang Beibei, thatâs enough. You live under Rong Chanâerâs roof, yet you stole her sisterâs man. Do you have any morals?â
âItâs not like you donât have a family. Why do you have to live with the Rongs? The Rong family fed and clothed you. Itâs one thing to not know how to repay their kindness, you still slander them? Your grandmother is missing. Go look for her. What does it have to do with Rong Chanâer?â
âSome people think that if they are good-looking and have good grades, everyone in the world will have to give in to them. Itâs a crime if we donât. This kind of person is mentally ill!â
â⦠Crazy. Youâd better go find your grandmother instead of bullying Rong Chanâer here.â
The commentary around them got meaner and meaner. Ruan Qi couldnât listen anymore.
âYou people donât even know whatâs going on. Donât just comment blindly. Go do your own things!â
Someone retorted immediately, âAnd you know whatâs going on? You are with Tang Beibei so you are probably also a good-for-nothing!â
Ruan Qi wanted to retaliate, but Tang Beibei grabbed her arm and said, âDonât argue with them. The most important thing now is to find my grandmother.â
Ruan Qi was furious. âYou blabbermouths should all be taught a lesson!â
Tang Beibei looked at Rong Chanâer, who was pretending to be a lady, and asked again, âRong Chanâer, tell me, where is my grandmother? I can agree to any condition you have!â
Rong Chanâer replied aggrievedly, âTang Beibei, I really donât know where your grandmother is. My sister has been so good to you. If you really admit your mistake, you should leave my sisterâs man as a sign of remorse.â
Rong Chanâer had heard that Jiang Jingchen would likely recover from his illness. If the young master of the Jiang family recovered and joined the family business, wouldnât Tang Beibei, the young mistress of the Jiang family, solidify her position?
If that happened, Tang Beibei would definitely show off her might to them. How could she tolerate that?
She must therefore put an end to this possibility and make Tang Beibei divorce the ugly Jiang Jingchen!
Tang Beibei chuckled when she heard Rong Chanâer continue to speak negatively about her.
âRong Chanâer, if anything happens to my grandmother, I will make you regret it!â
Ignoring the gossip around them, Tang Beibei took Ruan Qi by the arm and walked away.
Rong Chanâer looked at the two of them, and her lips curled into a mocking smile.
Tang Beibei would make her regret it?
Oh, why did Tang Beibei think that she could talk to her like that? She was just a dog raised by the Rong family. She was married away to protect her sister. Did Tang Beibei think that she was better than Rong Chanâer now?
Rong Chanâer thought about the branded clothes Tang Beibei was wearing, the expensive diamond earrings on her ears, and the expensive necklace on her neck. She was crazy jealous!
Tang Beibei didnât deserve these things which were meant for her sister!
When they walked out of the school gate, Ruan Qi saw Tang Beibeiâs expression and knew that she was very worried about her grandmother.
âBeibei, donât be overly anxious. Iâll go with you to the nursing home. If your grandmother is really missing, weâll call the police.â
Tang Beibei calmed down after hearing Ruan Qiâs words of comfort. She nodded and headed for the train station.
âBeibei!â
Tang Beibei heard someone call her name and turned around in confusion. Her eyes widened in surprise.
âGrandma!â
She turned around and ran up to an old lady with white hair. She had a hunched back, and her face were filled with wrinkles. His turbid eyes stared at Tang Beibei unblinkingly.
âGrandma, why did you leave the nursing home? If you miss me, you can call me and Iâll come to you. There are so many cars on the road. Youâ¦â
âSlap!â
Ruan Qi covered her mouth in shock when she saw the old lady suddenly slap Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was also stunned as she covered her face in shock.
âGrandma, why did you hit me?â
âTang Beibei, do you know your mistake?â
âMistake? What mistake?â
âYouâre vain and married someone elseâs husband. Is this how I brought you up? Are you trying to follow your motherâs footsteps and ruin your life for a man?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNo, Iâm not!â Tang Beibei wanted to explain. âGrandma, thatâs not what happened. Back then, Iâ¦â
âEnough, donât quibble. Divorce that man!â Tang Beibeiâs grandmother scolded.
âNo, I wonât get a divorce. Grandma, you donât understand this at all. Youâ¦â
âIf you donât get a divorce, Iâll beat you to death today!â Tang Beibeiâs grandmotherâs face was fierce. She raised her arm and started hitting Tang Beibei. Although she was old, she was quite strong.
âYou wretched girl! Donât think that I canât control you because Iâm old. Of all things, you learned to become just like your heartless mother.. Bastard, if you donât get a divorce, Iâll beat you to death today so you wonât embarrass yourself again!â
