Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Fang Rong froze for a moment. “I have, but…”

Fang Rong was human too. She had her own desires, her own joys and sorrows, anger and grief.

After all the humiliation she had suffered in the Xia Family over the years, of course there was hatred in her heart. She just had never been able to take revenge because she lacked the ability.

“Since you’ve thought about it,” Xia Sheng said slowly, “then do it now. I’ve already restrained him for you. He can’t fight back.”

Fang Rong hesitated. “Sheng’er, the Xia Family is powerful and influential. If we offend Xia Yanzhi, will we get into trouble?”

“No,” Xia Sheng said with certainty. “Don’t forget, the Shen Family and the Jiang Family can both back us now.”

Even without relying on outsiders, Xia Sheng could still protect Fang Rong.

But bringing up the Shen Family and the Jiang Family would clearly be more convincing to Fang Rong.

And sure enough, the moment Xia Sheng mentioned Shen Yanchen and Jiang Zhongqing, Fang Rong immediately found her courage.

Xia Sheng had helped both of them before. Even if there were no deeper ties, just that favor alone meant those two would never stand by and do nothing while she and her daughter were bullied.

Compared to the Shen Family and the Jiang Family, the Xia Family was nothing special.

Summoning her courage, Fang Rong tentatively slapped Xia Yanzhi across the face.

When she saw how furious he was, yet utterly powerless against her, Fang Rong gradually let go of her fear and slapped him a second time.

Then came the third, then the fourth-each harder than the last. The cautious expression on Fang Rong’s face gave way to a fierce sense of satisfaction. She hit him harder and harder, and before long, Xia Yanzhi’s face was swollen beyond recognition.

Even then, she still wasn’t satisfied. She viciously kicked him twice in the groin.

That thing was what had ruined her back then, causing her to be ground down in the Xia Family for so many years.

At the thought of that, Fang Rong put even more force into her kicks.

Xia Yanzhi had already been beaten badly. The pain in his face hadn’t even faded before agony struck below as well.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead from the pain, and he wanted to curse at them.

But his mouth had somehow been sealed by Xia Sheng, and all he could do was let out broken, ragged moans from his throat.

Fang Rong didn’t want to cause a death, so after crippling that part of him, she kicked him to the ground and stopped.

Looking at Xia Yanzhi sprawled there, half-dead on the floor like a dog, Fang Rong felt an exhilarating sense of long-overdue revenge.

Xia Sheng didn’t even spare the half-dead man on the ground a glance. She simply took out some ointment and applied it to Fang Rong’s hand.

“After hitting him that long, your hand must hurt.”

Seeing her daughter worry about her, Fang Rong was touched. “It doesn’t hurt. I’m fine.”

Right now, nothing on her body hurt. She only felt completely refreshed, body and soul. In all her life, she had never felt this vindicated.

After applying the ointment, Xia Sheng asked, “Have you vented enough? If not, I can heal his injuries and you can do it all over again.”

Fang Rong’s eyes lit up. “You can do that too?”

Xia Sheng nodded, and Fang Rong said without the slightest hesitation, “Then heal him.”

Seeing that her mother had finally toughened up for once, Xia Sheng felt deeply gratified. She immediately tossed a piece of Talisman Paper onto Xia Yanzhi, restoring his body to the state it had been in twenty minutes earlier.

Xia Yanzhi instantly felt all the pain throughout his body vanish. But when he saw Fang Rong walking toward him again, fear rose uncontrollably in his eyes. He no longer dared look at her with the same lewd, filthy gaze as before. There was nothing left in his heart but terror.

He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy, but he still couldn’t make a sound. He could only watch helplessly as Fang Rong walked up to him and started beating and kicking him again.
Inside the car, Yu He watched Xia Yanzhi get taught a brutal lesson. She wanted to get out and help him, but no matter how hard she shoved, the car door wouldn’t open. All she could do was watch helplessly as Xia Yanzhi got beaten.

After repeating that cycle several times, Xia Sheng saw that Fang Rong had vented enough and finally tossed another Talisman Paper onto Xia Yanzhi, restoring him to his original state.

Now, there wasn’t a single wound left on Xia Yanzhi’s body, but mentally, he had been utterly crushed.

Even if he called the police and claimed someone had beaten him, he wouldn’t have a shred of evidence to accuse anyone with.

After all, there wasn’t the slightest mark on him.

Still, the experience of having his manhood destroyed again and again today would be enough to haunt him for the rest of his life.

Even if they didn’t deal with Xia Yanzhi themselves, it wouldn’t be long before the Xia Family and the Shi Family were joined by marriage, and when that happened, the Xia Family’s good days would soon be over.

“Mom, let’s go back.”

Fang Rong nodded. “Call us a car.”

Xia Sheng withdrew the restraint she had placed on Xia Yanzhi and Yu He, then opened a ride-hailing app and called for a car.

The moment Yu He regained her freedom, she hurried out of the car and helped Xia Yanzhi to his feet.

When she saw that all the injuries on his body had vanished, yet he was still swaying as if he’d suffered some devastating mental trauma, her anger instantly flared. She shot Xia Sheng a vicious glare.

That little bitch!

Once her daughter married into the Shi Family, she would definitely have the Shi Family teach that little slut a proper lesson!

Sensing Yu He’s gaze, Xia Sheng calmly looked back at her.

Their eyes met. The instant Yu He noticed the icy coldness in Xia Sheng’s eyes, her whole body shuddered. She hurriedly lowered her head, afraid she would end up just like Xia Yanzhi. Supporting him, she slunk back into the car and left in disgrace.

While they waited for the taxi, Auntie Wang asked Fang Rong, “Little Fang, did you have some kind of grudge with that awful couple from earlier?”

Auntie Wang was only asking casually; there was no blame in her tone.

She had known Fang Rong for a while and understood very well what kind of person she was.

Back when she liked Old Li, she had deliberately made trouble for Fang Rong, charging everyone else one yuan for water but charging Fang Rong two. Even then, Fang Rong had never gotten angry with her. Her temper had been unbelievably good.

For her to beat that man so viciously today, he must have done something truly excessive to her before.

Fang Rong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still told Auntie Wang about what had happened in the past.

Those ten-odd years in the Xia Family were a nightmare she would never forget for as long as she lived, and she had never told anyone about them.

Yet now, after saying it all out loud to an outsider, she suddenly felt a little relieved.

All that suffering was already in the past.

Now she had a daughter who loved her, kind and sincere neighbors, and a stable job. She was already very happy.

Thinking of the people who had stayed by her side and supported her, those memories from the past no longer seemed quite so bitter.

After hearing everything, Auntie Wang couldn’t help cursing, “Animals! Isn’t this just bullying an honest person? Little Celestial Master even healed that man’s injuries. He got off way too easy!”

Fang Rong said, “If a life were lost, Sheng’er would end up burdened with karma too. This is already enough.”

In the past, she wouldn’t even have dared imagine that one day she would get back at Xia Yanzhi for all the grievances she had suffered.

Being able to beat Xia Yanzhi like she did today was already enough to satisfy her.

Auntie Wang looked at Fang Rong and couldn’t help sighing. “What a hard life this child has had…”
