Su Yurou's expression instantly froze, and she shrieked:
"What? Lin Sa, you're so despicable! Delete it quickly, delete it immediately!"
Gone was any trace of her earlier fragility. She lunged forward, reaching to snatch the mobile phone from Lin Sa's hand.
Her delicate face was now contorted with extreme arrogance:
"Lin Sa, you can't beat me! Jiang Yang loves me dearly, and Brother Yan can't live without me! You think you can compete with me? Don't even dream about it!"
"Moreover, I am the eldest daughter of the Su Family. So what if I'm not biologically related? My parents only have me as their daughter! If you anger me, you'll be offending three major families at once! With your mother who runs a nightclub, she can't save you at all! Think carefully!"
Su Yurou grabbed Lin Sa's collar, her gaze sharp and malicious:
"If you refuse to be my son's nanny, then get out of Haicheng! Within three days, I'll have Brother Yan divorce you!"
"I'm giving you an opportunity, don't waste it. Hurry up, give me the phone!"
She lowered her voice significantly.
Lin Sa raised an eyelid, her tone laced with mockery:
"Su Yurou, you truly are arrogant."
Jiang Yang loved her, Fu Yanci doted on her, and the Su Family protected her. No wonder she was so presumptuous and fearless.
Su Yurou looked at Lin Sa triumphantly, a cold smile playing on her lips:
"I have the capital to be arrogant. But what about you? Your mother is a notorious brothel madam that all the noblewomen in Haicheng criticize, and you, although you've entered the Fu Family's doors, have never been acknowledged by them! You didn't even have a wedding, did you?"
She could tolerate anything else, but the word "brothel madam" instantly struck Lin Sa's bottom line.
Before Su Yurou could react, Lin Sa had already made her move.
She casually placed the crying Jiang Chen on the bed, then grabbed Su Yurou by the hair and yanked her to the ground.
With slaps raining down from both sides, Lin Sa roared while fiercely slapping her:
"You can say anything about me, but you are not allowed to speak ill of my mother!"
"My mother has never stolen or robbed in her life; she built her empire with her own two hands. She's far stronger than those pampered noblewomen you talk about!"
"I indeed didn't have a wedding, nor do I possess your captivating charm, nor do I have the substantial capital behind me, but I am definitely not a woman who swallows insults!"
"I don't need capital; with these hands, I can beat you until you're in disarray! Su Yurou, if you think you can treat me, Lin Sa, like a soft persimmon to be squeezed at will, then you are gravely mistaken!"
Lin Sa delivered over a dozen slaps in quick succession, until Su Yurou's face was swollen like a pig's head.
Su Yurou could no longer speak, only opening her mouth to let out dry wails of "Ah, ah, ah."
Her crying mingled with her son's cries.
When Fu Yanci kicked the door open, he saw Lin Sa, her hair disheveled, her eyes scarlet, in a frenzied state, viciously beating Su Yurou.
The hand she used for slapping was still bleeding; every slap was delivered with exceptional force.
"Brother Yan! Brother Yan... Help!"
Su Yurou, who had been utterly arrogant moments before, now cried out tragically, her eyes filled with terror.
Fu Yanci yanked Lin Sa away and threw her heavily backward. Lin Sa's lower back slammed hard against the corner of the hospital bed, causing her to double over in pain.
"You're truly lawless. Lin Sa, you're simply unreasonable!"
Fu Yanci's gaze towards Lin Sa was filled with rage, but in the next instant, seeing Su Yurou's swollen face, it immediately transformed into deep heartache.
Tang Guo rushed in to help Lin Sa up. Seeing her pale complexion, her eyes instantly turned red.
Fu Yanci, however, had already picked up Su Yurou and gestured for the nanny to hold Jiang Chen securely.
His blood surged, and he left without hesitation with Su Yurou. Before leaving, he cast a cold, piercing glance at Lin Sa.
That gaze was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Lin Sa's already shattered heart.
Lin Sa clutched her aching lower back, trembling all over, a cold smile on her lips.
She subconsciously tried to step forward, but after only two steps, her body swayed and she collapsed, her vision plunging into darkness...
Fu Yanci escorted Su Yurou back to the hospital room.
Not long after, Fu Yanci's mother, Qin Lan, arrived with chicken soup with fish maw to visit.
Upon entering, Qin Lan said with a smile:
"Rourou, are you feeling any better? I specifically asked the nanny to stew some chicken with fish maw..."
"Ah! What happened to your face? Why is it so swollen?"
Qin Lan quickly noticed the red finger marks on Su Yurou's face and was greatly startled. She hurried forward to cup her face and examine it closely.
"You were hit? Who did this? Quickly tell Auntie, Auntie will back you up!"
Su Yurou had just stopped crying and began to sob again upon hearing this:
"Auntie..."
She looked at Fu Yanci with a wronged expression. With a single glance, Qin Lan immediately understood.
Qin Lan turned, her gaze sharply fixed on Fu Yanci:
"Was it Lin Sa?"
Fu Yanci subconsciously tried to cover up: "Mom, it wasn't..."
"I already know!"
Qin Lan interrupted coldly, "She caused a scene at Chen Bao's full moon banquet, and then almost burned down the house when she returned to Taoyuan. If it wasn't her, who else could it be!"
"This jealousy is too outrageous! Yurou is your cousin and Jiang Yang's wife! What is she jealous of!"
Qin Lan already looked down on Lin Sa, and at this moment, she was even more furious.
Su Yurou sniffled and sobbed softly:
"Auntie, I have a fever, and Chen Bao can't drink breast milk. I just wanted to borrow some milk from my cousin-in-law, but I didn't expect her to not only hit me, but also..."
Qin Lan's expression darkened: "And what? Yurou, tell me, Auntie will stand up for you!"
Su Yurou was so wronged she was about to cry:
"She... she also pulled my clothes, called me shameless, and... and deliberately recorded me. I'm so afraid she wants to use my voice for AI synthesis and then ruin my reputation."
Qin Lan became furious:
"What? I'm going to find her right now and ask her what she wants!"
Qin Lan turned angrily to confront Lin Sa, but Fu Yanci blocked her with a cold expression:
"Mom, I'll handle this. Sa Sa wouldn't do something like that."
Qin Lan glared at her son:
"You've spoiled her so much that she doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Why wouldn't she do it? She's the product of that low-class trash! Her mother uses all sorts of underhanded methods, and she must be wary of that!"
Fu Yanci's expression was grim: "Mom, that's excessive."
Qin Lan angrily pushed his hand away, turned to the window, and sighed heavily:
"I disagreed with you marrying her back then. A marriage of unequal social standing is doomed to have no happiness! As expected, you were only destined to have daughters!"
She turned again to look at Su Yurou and Jiang Chen in her arms, her gaze filled with disgust and relief:
"It's the right path for Yurou to marry Jiang Yang. She's so capable, giving birth to the eldest grandson for the Jiang Family. Who in Haicheng's social circle doesn't praise her now?"
"As for you, marrying her made you the laughingstock of the city, and now you've had another daughter. Where does that leave my face and your father's face?"
Qin Lan put her hands on her hips, getting angrier the more she thought about it:
"She actually dared to lay hands on Yurou. How can this stand? I'm calling her right now to come over and apologize in person!"
She then took out her phone. Fu Yanci stood by, not stopping her.
In his opinion, Lin Sa had indeed gone too far this time. She couldn't even tolerate Su Yurou, who was so "peaceful and uncontroversial," and directly resorted to violence. She should indeed apologize.
Su Yurou said delicately:
"Auntie, it's okay, I'll just bear with it, as long as..."
Qin Lan waved her hand, dialed Lin Sa's number in front of everyone, and put it on speakerphone.
