Fan Hongshan saw the situation heading towards what she had guessed, her heart aching painfully. She looked at her kind and virtuous eldest sister-in-law with red-rimmed eyes, not even glancing at her elder brother, and in her heart, she hated Fan Fengshou even more.
But now, the most important thing was to win back her sister-in-law.
Therefore, Fan Hongshan, bypassing her mother who could not yet face reality, approached Yan Jinsu and Xie Jinghong, and sincerely apologized:
"Sister-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, I’m sorry, it’s my Fan Family’s fault for not acting properly. But this matter truly has nothing to do with my elder brother, if you must be angry, be angry at my mother.
Eldest sister-in-law, I beg you, for the sake of your three nephews, forgive my elder brother this time? Whether they are without a father or without a mother, neither is a happy situation, right?
Anyway, you and your husband have already moved out, and from now on you don’t need to come back to see mom! Just let that shit-stirrer Fan Fengshou take responsibility!"
"Fan Hongshan, you—"
Li Xiaochun’s legs turned to jelly under Yan Jinsu’s intimidating gaze, and upon hearing Yan Jinsu’s threatening words, her spirit was frightened; she hadn’t expected to hear her daughter say such things, disregarding her face and life and death, her actions quicker than her brain’s reaction, she slapped her in anger. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
With a "smack," the slap landed squarely on Fan Hongshan’s left cheek, the swelling on her forehead already noticeable, and now the left side of her face swelled up!
"Mom!" Fan Jiefang hurriedly stepped forward to support his elder sister, who was about to fall, his voice filled with helplessness and indignation.
He really hadn’t expected that his mother would slap his elder sister in front of so many people .
Before, his mind had been focused on his wife’s face, and it was only upon hearing the sound that he reacted.
Thinking that his elder sister could still be hit squarely by his mother while standing next to him, Fan Jiefang’s gaze towards Li Xiaochun bore a hint of wariness.
Unexpectedly, after being slapped with a heavy blow, Fan Hongshan revealed a smile—a smile more heart-wrenching than crying.
"Ha, mom, you still haven’t come to your senses!" Fan Hongshan staggered two steps backward from the slap, but Fan Jiefang supported her in time, preventing her from falling.
She slowly straightened her face, revealing the disheveled bruising, and seeing her mother as if only now realizing what she had done, she laughed self-mockingly:
"Mom, my elder brother and his wife have given enough to you and Fan Fengshou over the years. Please show mercy and spare them. Do you really want our Fan Family to return to the dullness of ten years ago?
Do you think Li Xiaoxia’s maternal family is that powerful? Heh, Li Family can only be somewhat prominent in Baiyun Town! Outside of Baiyun Town, the Li Family is nothing!
Do you really want to wait for my elder brother to lose his job before you regret it?"
As she spoke, her gaze met with Yan Jinsu, whose expression hadn’t changed, a look of earnest pleading on her face, hoping she would be merciful.
Having mingled in the official circles with her husband for a few years, she had gained a bit of insight, though lacking in other respects.
This Xie Family sister-in-law, at first glance, was not an ordinary woman! The dignified air about her was something even the daughter of the town’s mayor did not possess!
But she could not voice it out and could only blame her mother internally: Keep it up! Once the Fan Family is ruined, Fan Fengshou will learn his lesson.
Li Xiaochun, furious, clutched her head, her daughter’s accusatory eyes, her eldest son’s aloofness and wariness, all made her head spin; her gaze flickered and caught sight of Xie Jinghong’s face—
