CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 457: MORE LIKE WE KNEW EACH OTHER IN A PAST LIFE

"Enough, crying one moment and laughing the next, you’re acting like a little lunatic."

Lin Chuxia handed her a handkerchief with a smile to comfort her.

Wang Tianxue had long since dropped her wariness towards Lin Chuxia, and took the handkerchief to wipe her face. "Mind your own business, I’m happy, and I’ve given you my fate, don’t I have the right to be happy for a few days?"

It’s strange when you think about it, how relationships between people can really be peculiar.

She and Qin Juan had shared experiences, and from the day they met, they could feel each other’s sincerity and goodwill.

Living together, they were like two wounded little animals, huddling together, licking each other’s wounds, and keeping each other warm.

They shared everything with each other and became the best of friends.

Yet with Lin Chuxia, despite the fact that Wang Tianxue had only interacted with her regarding the divorce and knew very little about her other affairs,

there was even a point where she was guarded at every turn.

However, somehow, without realizing it, she had let down her guard. Every time she discussed matters with Lin Chuxia, it felt unusually comfortable, whether it was Lin Chuxia’s way of speaking or her temperament, it was all to her liking.

It was as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

No, it was more like they had known each other in a past life.

Qin Juan often joked that they were two of a kind, and she really felt that way.

This side of the group, bustling around Wang Tianxue, left the court in high spirits.

They had only just reached the parking lot when a figure suddenly burst out from an angle, heading straight for Old Mrs. Jia.

At that moment, Old Mrs. Jia was still holding a child, and Wang Tianxue’s face changed dramatically when she saw who was coming, quickly stepping forward to block the person.

Lin Chuxia also reacted quickly, standing beside Wang Tianxue, guardedly observing the old lady in front of them who was dark and thin with triangular hanging eyes.

The figure saw Wang Tianxue, opened her mouth and cursed, "You little whore, a worn-out shoe, nobody’s secondhand goods, hand over my grandson, he’s my grandson, give him back to me..."

It turned out to be Wang Tianxue’s ex-mother-in-law, Yang Rui’s mother from the countryside.

Old Mrs. Yang had known all along that her daughter-in-law had a child, but she was preoccupied with staying at home and didn’t want to come to the city to help with the baby.

This time, it was only because her son had promised she could take the baby back to her hometown to raise that she came.

Who knew that after so many days, she hadn’t even seen the child, and her son turned out to have divorced the daughter-in-law.

Old Mrs. Yang didn’t care about the daughter-in-law’s divorce; her son was capable and would certainly marry another daughter-in-law.

But that previous daughter-in-law always wanted to be in charge of everything and never listened to her.

It might be okay not to keep the daughter-in-law, but she couldn’t afford to lose the grandson.

Especially when she saw the chubby little boy Old Mrs. Jia was holding, Old Mrs. Yang’s eyes nearly burst with rage.

"You ungrateful wretch, our Yang Family pampered you with good food and a good life, but look at you, making a fuss and divorcing my son. Did you really think our Yang Family can’t do without you? After leaving my son, let’s see who else would want you. Hand over my grandson now, he’s the seed of our Yang Family, don’t you dare take him away."

Wang Tianxue said coldly, "The court has now awarded me custody of the child."

"I spit on that, awarded you custody, who knows what kind of relationships you, that worn-out shoe, have with those people, hand over the child to me..."

Her mouth was full of foul language, almost spitting on Wang Tianxue’s face.

That hand, full of black dirt under the nails, also reached out for the child in Old Mrs. Jia’s arms.

Old Mrs. Jia had long looked down on this shameless family.

Old Mrs. Jia, widowed young, had to endure the oppression from her in-laws and uncles, and knew all too well the challenges women face.

That’s why she had such sympathy for Qin Juan.

Recently, Wang Tianxue was staying next door, and the child was being looked after by Old Mrs. Jia.

Both Qin Juan and Wang Tianxue were, in her eyes, excellent women.

Seeing Old Mrs. Yang press on unrelentingly, Old Mrs. Jia spat directly on her face.

"Pah, who are you calling a slut? Who’s the second-hand good? I see it’s you, you old bitch, who’s the slut and second-hand trash. Your whole family is full of sluts, second-hand goods. Had a good daughter-in-law and didn’t cherish her, instead found sluts outside, just a bunch of matching sluts; you want a grandson, let your son find a mistress and have another for you, a family like yours, composed of sluts and second-hand trash, doesn’t deserve such a good child..."

Old Mrs. Jia’s fighting spirit really could be something.

Originally, Old Mrs. Yang stood there with a sense of entitlement, now she was speechlessly rolling her eyes due to Old Mrs. Jia’s scolding.

She stalled for ages, without managing to retort a single word.

Yang Rui came over with a stern face, with Tang Lili by his side.

Yang Rui first glanced at Lin Chuxia and the others, then dissatisfiedly said to Wang Tianxue, "We were husband and wife after all, how can you just stand by and watch them bully mom?"

Wang Tianxue sneered, "Sorry, let me correct that, that’s your mom, and it was your mom who insulted me first. My friend couldn’t stand it and spoke up for me. What, your mom is allowed to curse but others can’t refute?"

"But she is an elder, can’t you give her some space?"

Old Mrs. Jia was about to curse someone again, but Wang Tianxue spoke first, "An elder? Whose elder? I respected her as one because I married you, and that was out of respect for you. But now that we’re through, I have no dealings with you, and she means nothing to me. Why should I give her space? Because she’s mean and foul-mouthed?"

"You..." Yang Rui was so angry his face turned crimson, "Wang Tianxue, I never thought you could be so unreasonable. Thankfully, I’ve divorced you, otherwise, who knows when I would have been deceived by your act. But let me remind you, even if we’re divorced, Xiao Long is still my son, running with my blood."

"He is your son, so don’t forget to give me the child support on time each month, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind telling my son his dad is already dead."

Yang Rui was infuriated to the point of bursting; ever since, this is how Wang Tianxue has been talking to him, sarcastically. If it weren’t for the custody of his son, he would have divorced her long ago.

"Mom, let’s go."

Not wanting to talk to her anymore, Yang Rui pulled Old Mrs. Yang and was ready to leave.

Old Mrs. Yang was reluctant to leave her grandson and was still cursing, insisting on taking the child with her.

Wang Tianxue and the others paid them no more heed, opened the car door, and got in.

Wang Tianxue helped Old Mrs. Jia into the car first, then thanked her, "Auntie, thank you so much for just now."

Old Mrs. Jia was somewhat embarrassed, "I just can’t stand that old man, his son is no good either, and they have the nerve to blame their daughter-in-law. But from what I see, you would not be bullied even without me; I say women should have just the character like yours so they don’t get pushed around."

"As a mother, I have to be strong; I was forced into this," Wang Tianxue said with a smile.

Lin Chuxia started the car in front, turned her head and looked at her, "You’re being a bit modest with that statement."

Qin Juan chuckled along, "I also think Tianxue is being too modest. But I should really learn from you in the future."
