Looking at the stunned Wang Qiang, Sang Qing let out a disdainful laugh.
“If you think Sang Yanyan has been wronged, then let her report me to the Public Security Bureau. Tell her to sue me for slander. Let’s see if she dares.”
Wang Qiang hesitated before turning to look at Sang Yanyan.
Her face darkened, but she could only cover her face and pretend to cry pitifully.
“Waaah… Sister… y-you’re obviously making things difficult for me. E-Everyone knows your husband is a regiment commander… waaah…”
Although she never outright accused Sang Qing of using her husband’s status to bully others, her implication was enough to let people’s imaginations run wild.
Especially for someone like Wang Qiang, who worshipped her unconditionally.
The moment he saw his goddess crying, he believed her without question.
“Sang Qing, that’s enough!”
As he shouted, Wang Qiang lunged at her.
Sang Qing was visibly startled.
Almost instinctively, she swung her hand.
Smack!
She watched as Wang Qiang’s head snapped to the side before he crashed onto the floor.
Wang Qiang: “!!!”
Sang Qing: “…”
Good grief.
So this was the effect of the Strength Pill?
She hadn’t even used her full strength, yet she’d already sent him flying?
Sang Yanyan was just as shocked.
Since Wang Qiang had been standing in front of her, she hadn’t clearly seen what had happened.
Still, Wang Qiang had come here because of her, so she couldn’t just ignore him.
She hurried over to help him up.
“Sister, how could you hit Brother Wang? He— Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Sang Qing’s palm landed squarely across her face.
“If you’re really so understanding, then surely you won’t fight back, right?”
“Ah!”
Smack!
“How could I hit Brother Wang? These slaps belong to you!”
Smack! Smack!
“Ah! Ah!”
“Other people’s illegitimate children keep their heads down and behave themselves, but you have no shame. You insist on prancing around here making a scene. What? Is your father, Sang Qingshan—the director of the garment factory—really that impressive?”
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
Sang Qing’s hand moved so fast it was practically throwing sparks.
At first, Wang Qiang had tried to shield Sang Yanyan.
But after Sang Qing slapped Sang Yanyan, she turned around and gave him two hard slaps as well, instantly knocking the fight out of him.
The diners inside the restaurant stared in utter disbelief.
Such a beautiful young woman…
Yet she was delivering left and right slaps with astonishing efficiency.
Only after Sang Yanyan’s face had swollen into that of a pig’s head did Sang Qing finally stop.
“Sorry for disturbing everyone’s meal.”
She spoke openly, showing no intention of hiding anything.
“This is Sang Yanyan, the illegitimate daughter of my formerly live-in father, Sang Qingshan, who is currently the director of Hongqi Garment Factory. She insisted on bringing someone here to make trouble for me, so I had no choice but to teach them a lesson.”
Because Sang Qing spoke so openly and confidently, the diners who had originally sympathized with Sang Yanyan now looked at her with open disgust.
“Good job, young lady! That little tramp deserved every slap!”
“Exactly! How does she even have the nerve to start trouble?”
“Her parents had an affair. Maybe she’s here fooling around too. Didn’t you see she’s dining with another man?”
“That’s right! Just look at her—she doesn’t look decent at all.”
“…”
The overlapping comments from the diners finally made Sang Yanyan burst into genuine tears.
After being kicked out yesterday, she’d had no money left.
That was the only reason she’d agreed to let Wang Qiang treat her to a meal.
When she saw Sang Qing swaggering into the restaurant, resentment overwhelmed her, and she’d wanted to teach her a lesson.
Who could have imagined that Sang Qing wouldn’t play by the rules?
Not only had she beaten her in public, she’d also exposed every dirty secret of the Sang family for everyone to hear.
If Sang Qing kept this up…
How was she ever supposed to get married in the future?
She knew there was no point trying to defend herself now.
She had to find her mother.
Her mother would surely teach that bitch Sang Qing a proper lesson!
“Waaah… You’ve gone too far… waaah…”
Still crying, Sang Yanyan ran out of the restaurant.
Watching her retreating figure, Sang Qing’s gaze landed on the clothes she was wearing.
Only then did she realize they weren’t the same outfit as yesterday.
Yesterday, after throwing the family of three out, Sang Qing hadn’t allowed them to take a single belonging.
Yet now they had fresh clothes to wear.
It seemed Sang Qingshan’s secret stash contained quite a lot.
Yesterday she’d been too busy being tangled up with that jerk Lu Qiance to deal with his hidden fortune.
But today…
The timing couldn’t be better!
She was going to clean out every last bit of it!
Recalling the original story, Sang Qing remembered that aside from the money Sang Qingshan regularly gave Chu Lanhua, he kept the rest of his cash and valuables hidden in his employee dormitory at the garment factory.
As a factory director, he had his own private room.
Back when Sang Wanrou was alive, he’d secretly stored plenty of things there to keep them hidden from her.
Sang Qingshan had been the factory director for seven or eight years.
Over all those years, he’d pocketed no small amount from the factory.
Sang Wanrou hadn’t cared because money had never been an issue for her.
But just because her mother hadn’t cared…
Didn’t mean Sang Qing didn’t.
Everything Sang Qingshan possessed now belonged to the Sang family.
She wasn’t going to let him take away a single thing!
With that thought, Sang Qing packed more than a dozen prepared dishes from the restaurant before heading straight to the garment factory where Sang Qingshan worked.
The security guard recognized her immediately, so he didn’t even bother notifying anyone before letting her inside.
Soon, Sang Qing arrived beneath the employee dormitory building.
She had deliberately come during working hours.
Sang Qingshan definitely wouldn’t be in his room.
“Qingqing, here to see your father?”
The dormitory matron sitting downstairs greeted her warmly.
Sang Qing had been beautiful since childhood, and with Sang Qingshan serving as factory director, many people knew who she was.
She pursed her lips, hesitating as though she wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Finally, she nodded.
“Yes… I came to retrieve some of my things.”
The dormitory manager, Liu Cuilian, immediately sensed something was wrong from Sang Qing’s expression.
Her curiosity flared instantly.
Her daily work was easy.
Aside from occasionally inspecting the dormitories, calling repairmen when needed, and keeping records, she had very little to do.
So her favorite pastime…
Was gossip.
Looking at Sang Qing’s lovely face, full of obvious sorrow, Liu Cuilian was certain there was a huge story behind it.
And since it involved the garment factory’s director…
She became even more interested.
“Auntie Liu…”
Sang Qing took a deep breath, as though trying hard to suppress her emotions before speaking.
“I’ve already cut ties with my father.”
“I only recently found out that he actually married into our Sang family. But after I got married, he tried to seize the dowry my mother left for me…”
She deliberately left the sentence unfinished.
Instead, she simply looked at Liu Cuilian with reddened eyes.
She was already exceptionally beautiful.
Now, with tears glistening in her eyes, she looked heartbreakingly pitiful.
Someone as fiercely righteous as Liu Cuilian stood no chance against that.
“Sang Qingshan is really that shameless? He married into your family, remarried after your mother died, and now he’s even trying to steal your dowry?!”
