Chapter 122: Chapter 118: Li Minmin & Aftermath

Wen Ran looked Minmin up and down, smiling, “By the way, how do you feel about the place I picked for you to stay? Don’t thank me too much~ I really considered every aspect when choosing this place for you.”

Li Minmin clenched her fists, her face twisted, even the oozing frostbite on her face was revolting.

“You did it on purpose!”

Her words were tearful, “My family was broken by you, my parents were swindled to death by you, do you really have no remorse at all?”

Oh, family broken, people dead.

Does Wen Ran have any remorse?

Indeed, she does.

Wen Ran thought with a pained expression, she should have come earlier if she knew Li Minmin was here.

Came late.

“Well then,” Wen Ran took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket, cracking open one, the fragrant seeds in her mouth she mumbled, “Why don’t you explain clearly what happened to your family later?”

“You looted the house clean!”

Wen Ran raised her hand, her face unchanged, “Don’t talk nonsense, what’s this got to do with me? I only moved a pot and a spatula from the house. Nothing else. Why are you blaming everything on me? Shame on you!”

Ah, yes, she took them, so what?

But where’s the evidence?

Even if she burned those things to ashes, she wouldn’t leave a bit for those wretched people!

She swore.

“You…”

Li Minmin was exasperated, but she also knew how absurd this statement was.

After all, the house was really cleaned out, not even Wen Ran could do such a thorough job alone.

“Alright,” Wen Ran waved her hand impatiently, eager to eat, “Go on, what exactly happened?”

Li Minmin felt something wrong looking at Wen Ran’s expression.

Clearly, she was accusing her, but why… Wen Ran seemed so excited?

“Do you know, Tianyang is dead, he’s dead! Such a small child, was killed by you, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Wen Ran frowned, “Don’t morally blackmail me, he died, killed by me? He cursed, I only slapped him twice, did nothing else. Even if he’s dead, it’s nothing to do with me.”

Li Minmin was furious, stomping her feet, “It’s you! It’s you!”

Wen Ran: “…”

She casually nodded, “Oh yes, yes, you’re right, now report me to the police and arrest me.”

Li Minmin couldn’t do anything against Wen Ran, thinking of her bitter life now, she choked, “Wen Ran, sooner or later, you will face retribution.”

Retribution?

Wen Ran smiled, she wasn’t afraid.

If there truly was retribution in this world, why aren’t those wicked things dead yet?

Li Minmin’s family in her past life rose by stepping on her corpse, why wasn’t there retribution?

She didn’t believe in gods, she only believed in herself.

So, she came to make sure retribution was served personally.

“Oh dear, stop talking nonsense, how’s your mother now? What about that old thing, is he dead yet? Wasn’t Tianyang his beloved? Now that his son’s dead, he should have died too.”

“You…”

She finally realized and scoffed, “You want to know, I won’t tell, that’ll annoy you to death.”

Li Minmin shut her mouth, refusing to speak, Wen Ran wasn’t in a hurry, thinking she’d write to Chen Wan for news once she returned to the team.

If she got exact news great, if not, so be it.

Anyway, this family was falling apart, she was already quite satisfied.

Wen Ran gave a dismissive look, “Suit yourself, speak or not, hurry up and leave, you’re blocking my sun, you know?”

Li Minmin looked at Wen Ran, thought about her good life now, and compared it to her own past six months of hunger, cold, and strange looks from people, only feeling sorrow welling up.

She wanted to act, the kids hesitated, then swarmed, directly tripping Li Minmin.

Falling in the snow, Li Minmin screamed hoarsely, “Wen Ran, you’ll face retribution, I curse you! I curse you!”

Wen Ran stood up, kicking as she watched her wince and curl like a shrimp, she rolled her eyes, “What a joke, cursing me. Who do you think you are?”

Looking down at Li Minmin, Wen Ran smiled, “But, I must admit, your appearance and the news you brought makes me happy. I won’t hold today’s intrusion against you.”

Yes, Wen Ran was so kind and generous.

She didn’t want to stain her hands with dirty blood, watching Li Minmin suffer was more satisfying, wasn’t it?

Xiao Chenye hurried back with tools, surprised at the chaos, he quickly came to Wen Ran, concerned, “Are you okay?”

“What could happen to me?” Since Xiao Chenye was here, Wen Ran didn’t want to waste time on Li Minmin, “Let’s go.”

Watching the two’s comfortable, intimate attitude, what else did Li Minmin not understand?

This was clearly a match.

Fine, fine!

Li Minmin trembled with anger.

While they struggled in hell, Wen Ran wasn’t just living well, but even found a partner.

Why is that?

Such a piece of trash!

Li Minmin thought darkly, laugh it up, Wen Ran, just wait until I wreck your life, then see how smug you are in front of me.

“Wait!”

Li Minmin crawled up from the ground, spread her arms, and blocked the way, persistently asking, “What’s the relationship between you two?”

Xiao Chenye frowned, “Does your family live by the sea? You’re minding too much business.”

This one sentence rendered Li Minmin speechless, her anger burnt hotter, filled with deep embarrassment. It must be that wretched Wen Ran badmouthing her to him all the time.

Otherwise, why would this man immediately show her a hostile face?

This is so unfair.

“I don’t live by the sea,” Li Minmin started shamelessly continuing from Xiao Chenye’s words, beginning her introduction.

“My name is Li Minmin, I believe you’ve probably heard my name from Wen Ran quite a bit.”

Xiao Chenye: “?”

What on earth, who’s Li Minmin.

However…

He raised his head and glanced at Li Minmin.

Li Minmin was ecstatic, “Has she often badmouthed me in front of you? You must not believe her words!

She’s the real vicious woman, she ruined my home and killed my brother.”

Jealousy is a genuine emotion.

Because, if it weren’t for Wen Ran’s sudden interference, she would have taken over Wen Ran’s job, stayed decently in the city, and managed to keep her hands on five hundred bucks.

Sure, her mother was stingy with her.

But once the money’s in her hands, would she not spend a single dime?

Being stuck in the Northwest was all due to Wen Ran’s viciousness!

Xiao Chenye looked at Li Minmin, “Did you take the wrong medicine or something?”

He thought Li Minmin had hallucinations, pulling Wen Ran aside, whispered, “You didn’t feed her that mushroom powder, did you?”

Wen Ran: “…”

Looking at Xiao Chenye who still hadn’t grasped the situation, Wen Ran also lowered her voice, filled with threat.

“If you keep talking without thinking, I’ll have to reconsider whether I should be with you.”

His father’s, she was still considering having a kid after marriage.

This guy looks like low IQ, will she end up giving birth to a little fool?

Feeling the truly threatening vibe from Wen Ran, Xiao Chenye shivered slightly and belatedly realized, “Is this your malicious step-sister?”

Finally, his brain started working.

The difficulty is probably just like docking a spaceship with a space station.

Wen Ran rolled her eyes, “What else?”

Xiao Chenye took a good look up and down at Li Minmin again, slightly calmed upon realizing that she was indeed living a grim life.

He opened his mouth, “You just mentioned your brother died? What’s that about?”

Li Minmin thought Xiao Chenye started to believe her and was overjoyed.

Quickly, “It’s all her, when she went to the countryside, she stole all the money from home, my brother had a high fever, couldn’t afford treatment, and died.”

“That can’t be true,” Xiao Chenye doubted, “A fever doesn’t kill people.”

Seeing she didn’t deceive Xiao Chenye, Li Minmin opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

After all, Wen Tianyang, oh no, Zhang Tianyang, didn’t die from a fever, but from a fall.

At that time, Mr. Wen, realizing the arranged marriage scandal had been exposed, simply reverted back to his original surname, along with Zhang Tianyang.

Afterward,

Yuan Mei could only take her beloved chubby little son and live a life constantly on the move, often starving.

Zhang Tianyang was used to the good life, where could he bear to live on nothing?

Not long after, he found himself a way out.

He went to a family with no son, begged for food, flattered them, and gradually, the family grew fond of Zhang Tianyang, showing signs of wanting to adopt him.

As for his character development,

the family felt the child was young, changeable.

Who he was before was due to bad influence from the Zhang Family, and as long as they dedicated themselves and guided him well, they could certainly turn him for the better.

Just as better days were in sight, Yuan Mei appeared, ghostly and sinister, and went up to drag him away.

Zhang Tianyang refused, cried and made a fuss, and the mother and son ended up cursing each other on the spot.

An adult woman, hungry, was entangling with an eight-year-old who had had his fill.

Back and forth, they were locked in a stalemate.

After about ten minutes of struggling, the mother and son had edged to the stairway, and in a flash, Zhang Tianyang stepped into a puddle, slipped, and went headfirst down.

Died on the spot.

…

Recalling stopped, Li Minmin awkwardly avoided eye contact, how could she possibly say all of this?

Xiao Chenye pulled Wen Ran urgently, making a move to go, “Still not telling the truth?”

“You!” Li Minmin couldn’t think of a better excuse for now, could only watch their backs in helpless fury, “Just you wait! Don’t believe me now, but eventually, you’ll suffer!”

In response, carried by the wind came Xiao Chenye’s response.

“Does your family live by the river?”

Ha, tui~

Minding so much business indeed.
