Qin Lan realized she had gotten too angry and spoken out of turn. Her eyes flickered with panic before she quickly corrected herself:
"Your mother has too many messy affairs, how would I know which one. But you must be aware of how terrible her reputation is in Haicheng."
Lin Sa grabbed her collar and refused to let go, her eyes filled with anger:
"You just said the two words 'our mother' with your own mouth, which means you were also involved in that incident back then."
"I don't know what my mother specifically went through back then, but I will investigate everything! I won't let anyone who ever harmed her go."
The words Qin Lan had unintentionally blurted out tore open an old scar in Lin Sa's heart.
Back then, she was only five years old when the incident happened.
But she would never forget that day, when a large group of people stormed into her home like bandits, robbing and seizing everything. In the end, they pushed her mother into the master bedroom and closed the door.
She didn't know what happened to her mother that day.
She only remembered that when her mother walked out of the room, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were vacant, and tears were streaming down her face.
Later, their lives took a sharp downturn. Her father and elder brother completely disappeared from their lives, and they moved from the villa to a shantytown.
Even later, every time she returned from school, she would see bruises on her mother's face and body, and sometimes blood at the corner of her mouth...
She was too young at the time, and many memories were blurred. By the time her memories became clear, her mother's image had already regained its former radiance.
But she had always understood over the years that besides her father taking her elder brother and leaving, something major must have happened that year.
Qin Lan snorted coldly:
"Such big talk, Lin Sa. If you're going to make threats, you should consider your own status."
"If Yanci hadn't married you and protected you all these years, would you and your mother be living such a comfortable life?"
"Be sensible and kneel down now, apologize to me and Yurou, and then record a video and post it online! Otherwise, I absolutely will not let you off the hook this time!"
Lin Sa let out a light laugh:
"The one who won't let you off the hook this time is me. Ms. Qin, I'm afraid you've got it wrong."
Qin Lan's chest heaved violently with anger:
"It seems you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Guards, tie her up for me!"
At Qin Lan's shout, two strong bodyguards immediately rushed in from outside the door and grabbed Lin Sa's arms.
Lin Sa didn't even blink. She glanced coldly at Qin Lan:
"I advise Ms. Qin to think carefully."
"As long as I don't get out of this house within ten minutes, Su Yurou's two voice recordings will immediately appear online, serving as strong supplements to the 'little essay'."
Qin Lan trembled all over with anger, unable to speak:
"You... you..."
Su Yurou stepped forward:
"Lin Sa, I think you've gone mad! Are you really planning to divorce Brother Yan?"
Lin Sa: "Yes, isn't divorcing him perfect for fulfilling your illicit affair? Since you feel this marriage is a charity you've bestowed, fine, I'll return him to you. Let's see if you have the guts to accept."
Su Yurou's complexion instantly turned from green to white:
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Yan and I are innocent and pure, we..."
"You don't need to explain to me. You should prepare yourself on how to explain to the Jiang Family."
Lin Sa sneered, pointing towards the door, "I'll give you ten minutes. Oh, no, eight minutes. Pack up immediately and get out of the bridal chamber of Fu Yanci and me."
Su Yurou seemed unable to believe her ears:
"You... what did you say? You want me to move out? What right do you have? This is the Fu Family's house!"
"As long as I am Fu Yanci's wife for one more day, this is my territory. If you don't move, I'll call Jiang Yang right now and have him return to the country to handle family affairs."
"I'll ask him on the phone if the Jiang Family is so poor that they have no house for you to live in, forcing you to shamelessly occupy my bridal chamber?"
Su Yurou: "..."
A surge of qi and blood rushed to her head. Lin Sa's words made her chest feel stifled, and she was unable to utter a single word.
Qin Lan was already furious and pacing the floor. She yelled while dialing Fu Yanci's number:
"Lawless! Utterly lawless!"
"Yanci, hurry back to Taoyuan! Open your eyes wide and see what kind of woman you married!"
At this moment, Fu Yanci had just been "shown the door" at Wanshi Shengjing.
Wondering where Lin Sa had gone, he suddenly received this call. Hearing she had returned to Taoyuan, he rushed back immediately.
On the way back, Fu Yanci's entire head was buzzing.
He, who was accustomed to being in a high position and controlling everything, felt the terror of being out of control for the first time.
At this moment, he felt as if he were in an ice cellar.
He urgently needed to calm down and communicate with Lin Sa.
Otherwise, if he let her continue to recklessly set fires, everything would spiral out of control.
Fu Yanci urged the driver to speed all the way.
His chest was filled with unvented anger. On his usually fair and composed face, a pimple had appeared, a rare sight, a sign of internal heat.
But he just couldn't understand. He was merely taking care of his brother's lover and child; he hadn't committed arson.
No matter how angry Lin Sa was, was it necessary to be this furious?
Resignation, divorce, exposure... this series of moves left him with absolutely no room to maneuver.
By acting this way, did she ever consider that when she begs for forgiveness in the future, he might not be able to grant it?
The atmosphere in the car was oppressive during the journey.
Fu Yanci tugged at his tie repeatedly, still feeling a tightness in his chest. Finally, he arrived at Taoyuan.
He practically leaped out of the car and into the courtyard.
Su Yurou had already been driven away by Lin Sa, and Qin Lan, still fuming, got into her car and left first.
Lin Sa had come aggressively this time, holding leverage. At this crucial moment, they didn't dare to confront her head-on and left dejectedly.
Although it was a victory in the first battle, Lin Sa felt no joy in her heart.
Looking at the bridal chamber she had once meticulously decorated, Lin Sa felt an indescribable sadness and blockage in her heart.
Everything Fu Yanci had done for Su Yurou had precisely stepped on her landmines.
This was their bridal chamber, yet he had let Su Yurou move in directly without even a word to her.
If he had even a shred of respect for her, he wouldn't have done such a thing... The more Lin Sa thought about it, the more wronged and suppressed she felt, and she couldn't help but her eyes reddened.
Liu Sao stepped forward and couldn't help but complain:
"That Miss Su is truly excessive. As soon as she moved in, she took over your master bedroom and asked the master to watch her child while she slept soundly."
"She even told me to throw away all the clothes you left in the wardrobe. I didn't dare, so I packed them for you and put them in the basement."
"The master bought a lot of tonics a few days ago, originally for you to recuperate. When she saw them after moving in, she ordered me to stew them for her. I didn't dare disobey."
...
Liu Sao noticed Lin Sa's complexion growing colder and stopped speaking at the right moment, softly reminding her:
"However, Madam, you must endure for now. The master is unusually obedient to that Miss Su, and the Old Madam is also on her side. Don't argue with the master anymore, or you'll really end up divorcing."
"I'm not afraid. If it comes to divorce, he's the one who will lose, not me."
As soon as Lin Sa finished speaking, Fu Yanci walked into the living room and happened to hear her words.
Fu Yanci's expression suddenly darkened:
"Have you had enough of this drama? How much longer do you intend to continue?"
"By driving Yurou out like this without any regard for the truth, how am I supposed to explain to Jiang Yang? Sa Sa, you are... too unreasonable right now!"
