CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 273: SISTER RONG STILL HAS TO BE THE DOMINANT ONE

Qin Ye quickened his pace when he saw that figure.

"Wife."

Ming Liping: ...

Xu Ke: ...

She felt faint.

Was her luck particularly bad today?

She wanted to leave, but since Ming Liping wasn’t leaving, it wouldn’t be right for her to just walk away.

Rong Yan glanced at Qin Ye, then noticed the two women.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her smile not reaching her eyes.

Good, her luck wasn’t bad; she caught them in one go, making her trip out worthwhile.

"Wife, why are you here?" Qin Ye had walked up to Rong Yan.

"Hmm, just catching a dog," Rong Yan said.

Her voice was neither too light nor too heavy, but it was loud enough for the two nearby women to hear.

The two women’s faces darkened.

Catching a dog?

Was she calling them dogs?

It wasn’t that they were trying to impose that relationship on themselves, but the woman’s gaze was fixed on them, making it impossible for them not to misunderstand.

"You stay here, I’ll handle some things; I’ll be done in a moment," Rong Yan told Qin Ye before she walked toward the two women.

Qin Ye had no choice but to stay where he was.

However, his gaze was wary.

Seeing Rong Yan coming over, Xu Ke wanted to run even more, whispering to Ming Liping, "This woman is a bit crazy; we should leave before we suffer."

Ming Liping gave her a sidelong glance and scoffed, "With your cowardly demeanor, you’re still trying to compete with others? If you want to leave, leave; I’m not going anywhere."

Then she quickly added, "I haven’t done anything wrong."

Xu Ke gritted her teeth: ...

You think you’re something special?

This was the first time Ming Liping had seen a woman as beautiful as this.

So beautiful that it filled her with extreme jealousy.

If this woman had appeared a few years earlier... probably half of the men in the neighborhood would have been seduced by her.

She put on an apologetic smile, "You’re Rong Yan, right? I’m your neighbor Ming Liping, about that potted plant last night..."

The next second, a slap interrupted her speech.

And her face was struck aside.

A red handprint quickly appeared on her tender cheek.

Ming Liping was in severe pain; she had never expected the woman to slap her right away.

At this moment, she was both shocked and furious.

"You hit me?"

Xu Ke, watching this familiar scene, felt her own face hurt.

But with Ming Liping getting slapped, she couldn’t just run away.

So she took the moral high ground, "Rong Yan, why do you resort to hitting people?"

She was better off being quiet, but as soon as she spoke, Rong Yan’s gaze immediately turned to her.

Xu Ke felt a chill in her heart from that look... this woman wouldn’t want to hit her too, would she?

"Rong Yan, this isn’t the countryside. You can’t just hit whoever you want... Do you know who she is? She’s from the Ming Family..."

Rong Yan scoffed, grabbed her by the collar with one hand, pulled her close, then raised her empty right hand and slapped her across the face repeatedly... The only sound in the air was the echoing smacks.

Xu Ke was hit so hard she couldn’t fight back; she could only scream.

Ming Liping watched this violent scene unfold and was instantly dumbfounded. How could this woman dare to do this?

Although she despised Xu Ke, seeing Xu Ke blatantly being slapped in the face here...

It wasn’t just Xu Ke’s face being slapped; it was as if the Ming Family’s face was being slapped.

So, she yelled loudly, "Stop it..."

As soon as she spoke up, Rong Yan let go of the person she was holding and turned to hit her.

Both sides of Ming Liping’s face hurt unbearably.

And the crowd of onlookers quickly grew larger.

Most people here didn’t recognize Rong Yan, as she didn’t live in this area and seldom came here.

However, Xu Ke and Ming Liping were well-known to everyone since they lived in the area.

Seeing the two of them with swollen faces slapped by a beautiful girl, someone ran to get someone from the Ming Family.

Some tried to intervene, "Miss, how can you hit people like this?"

After a few more slaps, Rong Yan stopped and turned to look at the person who spoke, "Sorry, just settling some personal grievances."

"You can’t just hit people, though. Can’t you talk it out?"

"Yeah, look at their faces; you’ve gone too far."

Rong Yan looked at her and said, "Too far? Is it more excessive than them slipping people shoddy infertility medicine?"

The crowd was taken aback when they heard this... Drugging? Infertility medicine? What was going on?

Xu Ke’s face turned deathly pale; she knew Rong Yan was a bit crazy and completely reckless.

And Ming Liping was losing her mind too, not only was she hit today.

Her reputation would be ruined after what this woman had just revealed.

"Shut your mouth. Without evidence, be careful, or I’ll sue you..."

Rong Yan retorted with a backhand slap, "No evidence? Would I take the trouble to bring a potted plant to the police station without evidence? Would I hit you without evidence? You still want to sue me? Fine, let’s go right now."

She reached out to grab Ming Liping.

Ming Liping wasn’t going anywhere.

"Let go, I’ve said it already, I didn’t plant anything harmful in that potted plant, it wasn’t me, otherwise, why would they let me go... Someone else set me up."

Rong Yan scoffed, "Birds of a feather, playing a good game of mantis stalking the cicada, but your ’36 Strategies’ are lacking, thinking you can divert suspicion by just acknowledging a calculation?"

Ming Liping panicked when she heard about ’diverting suspicion’; it flashed across her eyes quickly, but Rong Yan caught it.

Rong Yan sneered, did this woman really think she was the only smart one in the world?

"You’re spouting nonsense, I didn’t know anything... don’t slander me here..."

Rong Yan didn’t want to hit her; her hand was getting sore from hitting enough.

"Slander you? Our family doesn’t even know yours, what excuse do you have to send things to our house? Neighbor? Which neighbor sends a potted plant worth five hundred? Did you send them one?"

The crowd:...

Thank you, no.

However, they were quite shocked by the news; five hundred? That was a generous gesture.

"Luckily, they didn’t fall for it. With the harmful infertility medicine hidden in that potted plant, no family could withstand it. If it weren’t for my medical background, you would have really harmed us successfully. What big grudge do you have against the Qin Family? Targeting us innocent people? Or is it because you only target the weak?"

Ming Liping was going crazy, especially seeing everyone’s peculiar gazes; she knew if she didn’t clarify things today, her reputation would be completely destroyed.

"It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it... I meant well..."

Rong Yan’s hand rested for a while and was ready again, so she gave her another slap.

"To hell with your good intentions, did you think nobody would deal with you for harming others?"
