Ruan Qi couldn’t bear it when she saw Tang Beibei not resisting when her grandmother hit her and quickly went over to stop Old Madam Tang.

“Grandma, stop hitting her. This is a misunderstanding!”

“What misunderstanding? Instead of being a sensible girl, she stole another woman’s man and married the cripple! Tang Beibei, aren’t you following your mother’s footsteps?”

Old Madam Tang was extremely angry when she mentioned Tang Beibei’s mother. Ruan Qi could not persuade her at all, and Tang Beibei would not fight back. The scene was very chaotic.

Old Madam Tang finally got tired from hitting Tang Beibei when she held her chest and panted. When she saw Tang Beibei hang her head in silence, her eyes turned red with anger.

“Beibei, listen to Grandma. Get a divorce and leave that man. I’m telling you, you still have a long future ahead of you. You can’t ruin yourself for some money.”

Tang Beibei looked at her grandmother, her eyes red.

“Grandma, did you hear something from someone?”

“Yes, the Rong family came to see me. 1 let you stay with the Rongs and expect you to behave yourself. How can you snatch her man?”

Tang Beibei chuckled bitterly. Her grandmother had always looked down on her mother for being someone’s mistress. She considered her mother a destroyer of marriage.

When she sent Tang Beibei to live with the Rong family, she had also warned her that her existence was a destroyer of another person’s marriage.

Therefore, Tang Beibei must live with shame and endure everything.

Tang Beibei had endured everything. When she couldn’t take it anymore, she ran to her grandmother and begged her to take her away.

However, her grandmother told her that it was normal for the Rongs to treat her badly since her mother had destroyed their family. Tang Beibei was there to repay her mother’s debt. It was her responsibility when she was born into this world.

However, in the end, Tang Beibei was made a scapegoat and married off to the Jiang family. If Jiang Jingchen hadn’t been good to her, she didn’t dare to imagine the kind of future she’d have.

“I didn’t steal her man, and my husband, although his legs don’t work, he treats me well. He treats me even better than you do!”

“Tang Beibei, aren’t you all grown up now… How dare you talk back to me? You even called a cripple ‘hubby’. How disgusting. I’ll beat you to death today!”

Old Madam Tang raised her arm to hit Tang Beibei again, but Tang Beibei still did not fight back. Instead, she cried and said, “Go ahead. You should have beaten me to death when 1 was born. You should have hit me, strangled me, and thrown me into the pond and let be drown!”

Ruan Qi was upset when she heard those words and stood in front of Tang Beibei.

“Grandma, you can’t just believe what others say. Beibei has her own difficulties!”

“Marriage is such a major milestone, and she didn’t even tell me! That means that she’s ashamed. What other difficulties could she have? Isn’t she just greedy for money and vanity? She just wanted to reap without sowing!”

Ruan Qi frowned. Why was this old lady so stubborn? She listened to others and insulted Beibei, but she refused to believe a single word Beibei said.

“Grandma, Beibei didn’t do it for money, much less for vanity. It was the Rong family who set her up!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Old Madam Tang didn’t believe Ruan Qi. “You’re her friend. Of course, you will speak up for her and help her hide things from me!”

“What do you mean she was set up by the Rong family? The Rong family has provided for her for so many years and even let her go to university. This is such a great favor. They joke with her often but she has the temper of a young lady. She snatched her sister’s man and even asked the Rong family shamelessly for betrothal money.”

“Tang Beibei, you bastard. Why can’t you just be contented and live a normal life? Why do you have to inherit your mother’s cheap nature!”

Ruan Qi stared at the old lady in shock.

She had belittled Tang Beibei but made the Rong family sound so noble.

She was so angry that she laughed. She thought to herself that this grandmother must be a fake. She was actually an old witch sent by the Rong family to torture Tang Beibei!

Tang Beibei stared at her grandmother and felt disappointed, but she should already be used to it, right?

She said to her grandmother again, “1 won’t get a divorce. If you don’t listen to my explanation, then go back to the nursing home. 1 won’t change my mind no matter how many times you repeat yourself!”

“Tang Beibei, say that again? I’ve taught you honor and disgrace since you were a child. How… How could you?” Old Madam Tang was so angry that her face turned green, and her finger that was pointed at Tang Beibei trembled.

“So what if I know honor and disgrace? I’m still being bullied. I’ve had enough!”

Tang Beibei took a deep breath and continued, “I just wanted to leave the Rong family and find a place to settle down. That man gave it to me. 1 married him not for wealth, but for stability. Grandma, if you don’t want to embarrass yourself, stop making a scene here!”

Tang Beibei walked away with a cold expression. Only then did Old Madam Tang realize that there were students around them staring at her strangely. She blushed.

She was so angry that she had made a fool of herself. She glared at Tang Beibei’s back and followed her to a restaurant.

At this moment, Rong Chan’er walked out of the school gate. She felt extremely pleased when she saw Tang Beibei being beaten up by her own grandmother.

That Old Madam Tang only cared about her own reputation. She couldn’t live with her head held high because her daughter had become someone’s mistress. She felt that she owed the Rong family and had always been very strict with Tang Beibei.

If she knew that Tang Beibei had stolen another woman’s man and kept her marriage from her, she would definitely teach Tang Beibei a lesson.

Even if Tang Beibei explained the reason for her marriage, the old lady still wouldn’t agree because she married a cripple. She would definitely make Tang Beibei get a divorce.

Furthermore, Old Madam Tang was Tang Beibei’s soft spot. Rong Chan’er didn’t believe that Tang Beibei would not get a divorce!

At Jiang Jingchen’s villa…

Song Zhou went into the study and reported that someone had hit the young madam. Not only did she not fight back, but she even cried.

Jiang Jingchen was so angry that he threw the documents on the table. His face was gloomy as he stood up.

“Who hit my wife?”

Song Zhou immediately showed him the recorded video. Song Zhou had hired a student to follow Tang Beibei in school. They would know as soon as something happened to Tang Beibei.

Jiang Jingchen watched the video. His expression changed when he saw the old lady raise her arm and slap his wife.

If he was there, he would definitely break the old lady’s arm!

“Have you found out who this old lady is?”

“I think she’s Young Madam’s grandmother.” Song Zhou replied with his head lowered.

Jiang Jingchen frowned. Tang Beibei had mentioned that she had a grandmother, but her face turned pale when she mentioned her grandmother. Clearly, something bad had happened.

“Let’s go and find my wife!”

Song Zhou quickly followed him and drove to a noodle shop not far from the school. Jiang Jingchen rolled down the window and saw Tang Beibei sitting by the window.

The old lady was sitting opposite Tang Beibei. He couldn’t figure out what they were talking about but saw the old lady raise her arm agitatedly and slap Tang Beibei again, but Tang Beibei still didn’t dodge.

“Song Zhou, let’s go!”

When they arrived at the entrance of the noodle shop, they could see the situation clearly. Jiang Jingchen didn’t only see Tang Beibei, but also Rong Chan’er who was hiding not far away.

Song Zhou saw Rong Chan’er acting sneaky and said in a low voice, “This woman is definitely up to no good!”

Jiang Jingchen retracted his gaze. He was not interested in irrelevant people.

He wheeled himself to Tang Beibei’s side and grabbed the wrist of the old lady who was about to hit Tang Beibei again.

“If you hit someone, your hand will hurt too. Please stop!”

“You! Who are you?”

Old Madam Tang turned around and was startled by the scar on the man’s face.

“I’m Tang Beibei’s husband, Jiang Jingchen.”

Jiang Jingchen let go of the old lady’s hand and turned his head to look at Tang Beibei’s red face. He narrowed his slightly murderous cold eyes.

Tang Beibei’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Jiang Jingchen.

“Hubby, why are you here?”

Jiang Jingchen caressed her cheek. “Does it hurt?”

Jiang Jingchen ordered Song Zhou to go to the kitchen and get two hard boiled eggs. Song Zhou nodded respectfully and turned to leave.

“It doesn’t hurt. 1 have thick skin, hehe.”

Tang Beibei didn’t want him to worry, so she gave him what she thought was a good smile. However, in Jiang Jingchen’s eyes, she looked silly and made his heart ache.

When she liked Lu Chen’s work before, it wasn’t because his painting was too good but because she had a lot of grievances and sadness in her heart that she saw in the painting.

He looked at the old lady again and said coldly, “I don’t care who you are. Tang Beibei married me and therefore is mine.. If you want to touch my people, you should first ask me for permission!”
