"Believe me, I'll peel a layer of skin off you." Song Linhai was absolutely furious.
Chen Jingxian actually dared to defy him like this. She was practically rebelling against heaven.
Song Shiwei silently snarked from the sidelines, [Right, right, you're the living King of Hell. You'll skin people alive. You're the Hulk-why not just punch someone to death?]
[My scumbag dad really is scum. This isn't Stepmom Number Three. By my count, she should qualify as his seventh concubine. Oh my god, Stepmom Number Seven.]
[But I'm really curious. With all the mistresses my scumbag dad has out there-numbers three, four, five, and six-how come not one of them has had a child?!]
The Jiang Family members abruptly pricked up their ears. Jiang Ye even procured a bag of sunflower seeds from somewhere, and he and Jiang Zhuxin began munching away with relish.
Song Shiwei pouted. [Where did those seeds come from? Why didn't you think to give me some?!]
Jiang Zhuxin immediately scurried over like a lackey. "Sis-in-law, munching seeds while watching the drama feels amazing."
Song Shiwei grabbed a handful and watched the scene before her with interest.
"Skin me alive? Would you dare?" Chen Jingxian inspected her exquisite manicure, a trace of disdain flashing across her peerlessly beautiful face. "What, you're not even pretending anymore? This should be your seventh, right? Your eighth if you count me?"
The young woman standing beside Song Linhai bristled. "What are you talking about, you old woman? Old Song and I have true love. I'm already carrying the fruit of our love."
Song Shiwei's eyes widened on the sidelines. [Wait, didn't my dad lose his reproductive function? Where did this baby come from?]
Chen Jingxian smiled calmly. "Little sister, I might as well give you some bombshell news. Your true love has fertility problems."
Song Linhai naturally knew about his condition too. He instantly flew into a rage and slapped the girl beside him across the face. "Where did that baby come from? I'm asking you, where did that baby come from?"
"Old Song, the baby in my belly really is ours." The girl fell to the floor, clutching her face as she spoke in pain.
Song Linhai hauled her straight up and snarled viciously, "I've had fertility problems for over a decade! Tell me where that baby came from!"
The girl was clearly scared senseless. Song Ruchu hurried to soothe him from the side. "Dad, don't be angry. I'm your son. I'll be filial to you."
At those words, the Jiang Family members wore deeply inscrutable expressions. Song Shiwei even laughed aloud.
[I'm dying. Song Ruchu, you won't be in a minute.]
"Ruchu, my son, who bullied you? Tell Daddy. Daddy will settle the score for you." After his son's words of comfort, Song Linhai finally regained a little reason and flung the girl away like garbage.
Song Ruchu was right. This was his only son, the one who would inherit his mantle in the future.
How could his, Song Linhai's, son be wronged?
"Chen Jingxian, don't force me to slap you in front of everyone." Song Linhai's chest heaved as he glared furiously at Chen Jingxian.
Chen Jingxian's earlier defiance had already seriously violated his dignity as a man.
Song Shiwei clicked her tongue twice inwardly. [Just try slapping her. Get ready for a critical hit, you old fart.]
The girl kneeling beside Song Linhai threw her arms around his leg. "Old Song, I'm carrying your child. You can't abandon me."
An extremely conceited man like Song Linhai would never allow himself to be cuckolded. He kicked away the girl clinging to his leg. "Get lost! Who do you think you are, trying to drag me into this?"
The girl was kicked far away, nearly crashing into the nanny beside Chen Jingxian. Chen Jingxian hurriedly pulled the nanny toward her. Auntie Yu lost her footing and fell straight into Chen Jingxian's arms, while Chen Jingxian wrapped an intimately familiar arm around her waist and swept her into her embrace, even giving her a brief, glancing kiss.
That kiss looked very light, but it made everyone present suck in a cold breath.
"Wow..." Watching from the side, Jiang Zhuxin and Jiang Ye completely forgot their role as spectators and let out a deafening exclamation.
Song Shiwei clicked her tongue softly a few times. [An ultimate right to the face. A marital-breakdown shura field. Hah, hah.]
[Seriously, Chen Jingxian really is fierce. Why take this you-die-or-I-do approach? Can't this be settled peacefully?]
If Song Linhai still couldn't tell what was happening after seeing this, he really would have been an idiot. He stretched out a trembling hand and said furiously, "Chen Jingxian, what are you doing?"
"As you can see, I cheated too." Chen Jingxian shrugged and spoke without the slightest concern.
Blood instantly rushed to Song Linhai's head. Pointing at Chen Jingxian, he stammered, "You! How dare you?"
"Mom! Have you lost your mind? Dad treats you so well. Why would you do this? Tell us, you're just trying to make Dad angry on purpose, right?" Hearing Chen Jingxian's words, Song Ruchu felt his worldview suffer an unprecedented bombardment.
"Shut your mouth." Chen Jingxian gave Song Ruchu a cold look. "Don't call me Mom. I'm not your mother."
The Jiang Family members were enjoying the drama to their hearts' content. Song Shiwei even began dropping gossip herself. [Wow, wow, wow, we're already firing ultimates point-blank?!]
[Good grief, Song Yurou is about to rush over too. We're in for a good show.]
No sooner had Song Shiwei's inner voice fallen silent than Song Yurou hurried in. "Dad, Mom, what on earth happened to you?"
"Sis, Mom and Dad are fighting like this, and you're still in the mood to stand around watching the show?"
After playing the thoughtful, caring daughter, Song Yurou didn't forget to turn and aim her spear at Song Shiwei on the sidelines.
"If I don't watch the show, am I supposed to join the fight?" Song Shiwei replied irritably. "If you're not watching the show, then please, go join the fight."
Song Yurou abruptly choked, momentarily at a loss as to how to continue the speech she had just prepared.
