"I was only pitying you by treating you nicely, but you have just abused my kindness. I guess you want to experience the same thing your mum experienced in the past," Mrs Zhao chided. 

Yang Zi felt the urge to hit the woman's face for sounding so proud after the terrible thing they did to her mum, but she shut her eyes momentarily to control her anger.

​​

"Just so you know, we, the Zhaos' always get whatever we want. It doesn't matter if anyone gets hurt or killed as long as we get what we want. This trait runs in our blood so be very careful so you, your mum, sister and naughty friends don't get hurt. It will be such a shame if you die after the proud attitude you just put up here," Mrs Zhao said coldly.

"I am just wondering how a mother can be so vicious to push her daughter to her doom," Yang Zi said, masking her anger.

"How can a mother bear to push her daughter to a man who doesn't love her? Haven't you suffered enough from having your husband think about another woman whenever he is with you? He smiles at you, yet he is thinking about another woman. He has sex with you, yet he is moaning another woman's name. Haven't you had enough and yet you want to make your daughter experience the same pain you go through every day?" Yang Zi asked. Her question made Mrs Zhao flare-up.

"So what if he loves another woman? The one who spends her life with him is the sole winner, while the so-called woman he loves whom he couldn't be with is the sole loser," Mrs Zhao said, masking her pain with an indifferent expression.

Since the day she got married to her husband when she was just 18 years, he never loved her and she knew this. He only married her because the elders wanted it. Although he didn't love her, she did not have a problem with that, not until a younger woman came into the picture.

She had been with him for over a decade and even gave birth to his child, yet he fell in love with her at first glance. She couldn't fold her hands and watch him slip away from her. That was why she made life a living hell for the woman he loved. When she finally made her commit suicide, she thought he would forget about her but, no; he didn't.

After the woman's death, he treated her worse than a stranger. He only acted as though he was her husband in public, but at home, she was like a stranger to him.

He only treated her more like his wife after so many years passed, but now that the lady whom they thought was dead miraculously came back, his love for her which he had hidden away in his heart bloomed again. He rarely came back home because of her.

All her misery both in the past and present all began because of Yang Chunling. She loathed her and everyone related to her. 

"I can see whom Zhao Liying took after. Your entire family members are all delusional. I wish that your daughter will realise her mistake before it is too late," Yang Zi said, standing up with her handbag in her hand. 

"And one more thing, don't you dare lay a finger on any of my loved ones because I am not as kind as my mum. If you dare as much as touch the hair on any of my loved one's body.....," Yang Zi said coldly.

"I will leave what I will do for you to imagine," Yang Zi said, walking out of the restaurant elegantly.

.....

In a restaurant close to the one Yang Zi and Mrs Zhao had a conversation in, an elegant-looking lady adorned in a green dress sat down facing a young lady whose expression was cold. They had been sitting down, staring at each other for over five minutes, yet none of them wanted to be the first to speak.

"If you were so audacious to block my path earlier, why can't you just speak? As you can see, my little girl is over there waiting for me. If you are just gonna waste my time by keeping quiet, then I will rather leave," Mrs Yang said, trying to stand up.

"I came to tell you to tell that wench of a daughter of yours to stay off my man. She will not love what next I will do if she refuses to heed my warning," Zhao Liying spoke sternly. 

Mrs Yang sat back down when she heard her threats.

"Hey, young lady or whatever your name is called....,"

"Zhao Liying, that is my name," Zhao Liying interrupted her rudely.

"Watch your tongue anytime you talk about my daughter. She is not a wench, and I can't recall her ever taking Feng away from you. Feng fell in love with her first so, if there is someone you should block his path, it should be Feng, not me or Zi Er so, stop barking at the wrong tree," Mrs Yang reprimanded her coldly.

"She is just like you, brazen, thick-skinned and shameless. You both are husband snatchers and home-wreckers. You deserve to be called mother and daughter," Zhao Liying said care-freely.

Mrs Yang stared at the young lady before her. She knew Zhao Liying's aim was to see her flare-up in a rage and embarrass herself in the presence of everyone, but she could not give in to what she wanted.

"I and Zi Er are husband snatchers and home-wreckers? If that is what you assume, what are you and your parents?" Mrs Yang asked rhetorically.

"What should I call a married man who professed his love for another married woman? And why is Zi Er a husband snatcher? You and Feng are not married, so why did you make such comments about my precious daughter?" Mrs Yang asked fiercely.
