Chapter 91: Spice Things Up
Xie Wan had been submissive enough today. She didn’t expect Cheng Ling and Xie Ying to be so stubborn.
Since being courteous did not work, she should not be blamed to resort to force.
Xie Wan was angry now. She stood up and looked down at the two on the sofa.
“Have you two forgotten that I was the one who gave you this house back then?”
“I think you’ve forgotten. When we said we wanted to move out, weren’t you the one who came to apologize and insisted that we stay?”
She was so angry just now that she had forgotten about this.
Xie Wan felt that she was so angry that she couldn’t even breathe properly.
“Please leave,” Cheng Ling said as she was watching TV.
“Fine, we’ll leave. You’ll regret it sooner or later for going against us.”
“Hey, wait.” Cheng Ling spoke again.
“You can come back again but remember to bring some things over. Fruits and whatnot are fine. You always come here empty-handed, don’t you feel bad?”
Xie Wan’s face darkened when she heard that. She turned around and glared at Cheng Ling, then left with Wang Ma dejectedly.
This time, not only did she not get any benefits, she was even scolded for a long time.
Xie Wan was in a very bad mood.
When they returned to the Cheng family, Old Master Cheng and Cheng Ming were watching TV in the living room.
As soon as Xie Wan returned, she poured out her grievances and told them about what had just happened.
“Now the two of them are capable now. They might be thinking that they could now depend on that sickly young master of the Lu family. They no longer need our Cheng family to survive. Dad, you didn’t see Cheng Ling’s attitude just now.”
Thinking of the Lu family, Old Master Cheng’s eyes moved.
Since Cheng Ling was involved with so many prestigious families, they couldn’t let Cheng Ling leave the Cheng family.
The Cheng family had never mistreated Cheng Ling for so many years, and now it was time for Cheng Ling to repay them.
“Is that so? They don’t even listen to you. Do I have to do it myself?”
Wang Ma stood next to Xie Wan with her head lowered. When Old Master Cheng was not paying attention, Xie Wan tugged the corner of Wang Ma’s clothes and winked at her.
Wang Ma immediately understood. She quickly ran to Old Master Cheng and pretended to be wronged.
“Old Master Cheng, all these years, I’ve been working hard for the two of them. I’ve never slacked off. Now that they’re burning the bridge after crossing the river, I’m really unhappy.”
“And — please don’t be angry when you hear this — I’ve always heard the two of them speak ill of you behind your back.”
Hearing all these from Xie Wan and Wan Ma, Old Master Cheng’s impression of Cheng Ling and Xie Ying became worse.
“Is what you said true? The two of them dare to bad-mouth us behind our backs?”
“How would I dare to lie!”
When Wang Ma said this, what she was thinking in her heart was that no matter what the two of them said, the Cheng family wouldn’t believe them anyway. Thus she would use this opportunity to smear these two people.
Seeing Wang Ma’s simple make-up and her attitude of showing great respect, Old Master Cheng felt that Wang Ma definitely would not lie.
He picked up his walking stick and hammered the ground.
“Wang Ma, don’t be afraid. I will uphold justice for you. Go over and tell them that this is my order. They must keep you.”
With the support of Old Master Cheng, Wang Ma immediately regained her imposing manner and walked towards Cheng Ling’s place.
Cheng Ling was really annoyed by Wang Ma.
Xie Ying’s attitude softened when she heard that it was the order from Old Master Cheng.
“Ling Ling, why not we just keep Wang Ma? It’s not good to reject Old Master Cheng’s request.”
Cheng Ling frowned. She wasn’t afraid of Old Master Cheng.
But it was better to let Wang Ma stay than Old Master Cheng come to nag her personally.
Cheng Ling disliked noise and trouble the most.
“In that case, Wang Ma, you can stay. However, Mi Duo has moved into your room this afternoon. All your things are in the small room at the end of the corridor on the second floor.”
The room at the end of the corridor?
Wang Ma had been here for so long, so she knew what kind of room it was. It was not even a guest room. The room was so small, and there was only one bed in it.
That room had always been vacant. Now, they wanted her to stay there?
Could it be that they wanted to use such a tactic to make her leave?
Seeing Wang Ma’s unwilling look, Cheng Ling purposely asked. “What’s wrong, Wang Ma? You’re not willing to live in that room? If that’s the case, there’s nothing that we can do. You can only go home.”
Wang Ma knew that if she were to go back, the Cheng family would definitely ask her to come over again. Thus she might as well agree now and she might be able to gain some sympathy by telling her misery to the Cheng family later.
