Chapter 79: So Angry That I Want To Kill Her

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On a dark, windy and quiet night, Old Madam Tang was sleeping soundly in a well-decorated room at the nursing home when she felt someone approached her bed. Her eyes flew open.

However, she was immediately taped at the mouth. Her eyes widened in fear as she struggled violently.

But the two men who came in were both very strong and could easily hold her down with one hand.

“Old woman, 1 heard that you have a pretty granddaughter.” One of them asked.

“Mm…” Old Madam Tang shook her head vigorously.

The men looked around her room and found the money that Song Zhou had given her. It was not just 100,000 yuan, but 150,000 yuan.

How could an old lady in a nursing home without a job get an extra 50,000 yuan?

“Old woman, I’ll take this money for you.”

The old lady felt sad about losing her money and whimpered while the other man took out a dagger. The blade shone coldly under the light. Old Madam Tang was so scared that she did not dare to move.

The man with the dagger walked to the end of the bed and held her ankle.

“Old woman, don’t move about. If your leg accidentally touched my dagger and your tendons were severed, don’t blame me for making you a cripple.”

Old Madam Tang did not want to become a cripple, so she immediately submitted.

“Your granddaughter borrowed money from me. I was just about to ask her to repay her debt when 1 found out that she had a grandmother. Since she didn’t want to pay me, I can only look for you.”

The man who spoke was the fatter of the two. He tore off the tape around Old Madam Tang’s mouth after which she quickly said, “No, 1 have nothing to do with Tang Beibei.”

The fat man smiled and said, “I didn’t say that your granddaughter’s name is Tang Beibei. How would you know if you have nothing to do with her?”

The old lady panicked. “1-1 was just guessing. Hercules, Mighty Avenger, she owes you money. You should go find her. 1 don’t have money anyway.”

“Tang Beibei is protected by her husband. We can’t touch her, so we can only come and get you. Old woman, if you don’t pay up, we’ll kidnap you. If Tang Beibei doesn’t pay your ransom, we’ll kill you!”

“No, it won’t work. I’ve already severed ties with Tang Beibei. 1 don’t have a good relationship with her. She won’t pay any ransom to get me back. I beg you, let me go. I’m an old woman. I’m of no help to you.”

The fat man continued to ask, “Since you have nothing to do with her, what’s the video about? The one that’s circulating in her school?”

“V-video? Oh, someone forced me to say those things on camera. That person was the one who gave me this money.”

“So, you made the video for money, and what you said was not true at all?”

The old lady nodded. “Yes, that was it.”

The man sneered. “So, you tried to ruin your granddaughter’s reputation for money.”

“1-1 had no choice. If I didn’t agree to her request, that woman will kick me out of the nursing home. I’m just an old woman without a job. What can I do?”

The old lady said sadly and even lowered her head to cry.

“The woman you’re talking about is Rong Chan’er?”

“All, how did you know?” The old lady was surprised.

“Tang Beibei borrowed money from me, so of course I did a thorough background check on her. Rong Chan’er is Tang Beibei’s half-sister, so I should ask her for money.”

The old lady immediately nodded. “Yes, yes. Go find her. She’s the young miss of the Rong family. She’s very rich. Please let me go.”

“We can let you go but you must record a video to clarify that you have nothing to do with Tang Beibei. You must also point out that it was Rong Chan’er who threatened you to make that video. This way, we can explain to our boss why we let you go. After that, we’ll stop bothering you and go ask for money from the Rong family!”

“Okay, I agree!”

To get out of the predicament, the old lady cooperated with the two men without hesitation.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi were on their way to class when they bumped into Luo Tian. Ruan Qi held out her hand to stop Luo Tian in her path.

“Luo Tian, have you seen the video?”

Luo Tian averted her gaze. “What, what video? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ruan Qi played the video on her phone for Luo Tian. “Watch carefully. This old woman clarified that she framed Beibei for money.”

“Ignorant fools like you slander Tang Beibei without a thought just because of this old lady’s words. Beibei is absolutely right when she said that you are mentally retarded!”

“Ruan Qi, you…”

“What about me? It’s not like you don’t have a brain. You believed everything you heard without even verifying. You even maliciously slandered your classmate. Why should I be nice to you?”

“Luo Tian, Beibei has a good temper and won’t bicker with you. If anyone dares to say that about me, I’ll beat all their teeth out of them!”

Luo Tian’s face darkened. She suppressed her anger and wanted to leave, but Ruan Qi stopped her again.

“You don’t even bother to apologize? Are you mute?”

Luo Tian glared at Tang Beibei angrily and said to Ruan Qi, “Tang Beibei didn’t even say anything. Who are you to lecture me?”

Ruan Qi chuckled. “Beibei didn’t say anything because she was waiting for you to speak up. You didn’t and that’s why I’m reminding you.”

Luo Tian gritted her teeth and apologized in annoyance before leaving angrily.

Ruan Qi snorted coldly. “Some people don’t use their brains when they do things. 1 don’t even know why they have a brain.”

After Tang Beibei sat down, she answered Ruan Qi, “It’s probably for decoration.”

“Guffaw.”

Ruan Qi couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Tang Beibei usually didn’t talk much, but when she did, she would make people gnash their teeth in anger.

Luo Tian was so angry that she wanted to kill her.

Tang Beibei, just you wait!

During class, Ruan Qi noticed that Tang Beibei was a little absent-minded and nudged her shoulder with her arm.

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.” Tang Beibei snapped out of her daze, but her eyes were still confused.

“Is it because of what your grandmother said?”

In the video, Old Madam Tang said that she had absolutely nothing to do with Tang Beibei. Someone had threatened her with money to say those words. Although Tang Beibei was married, the person she married was very good. It was not like what she said in the first video at all.

Ruan Qi guessed that Tang Beibei’s grandmother’s words must have made her sad because she cherished her grandmother as a family member.

Tang Beibei nodded. “Grandma said that she had absolutely nothing to do with me. I’ll be all alone from now on.”

Ruan Qi was at a loss for words. She patted her shoulder and said, “Beibei, you can’t say that. You’re married. You have a family. Your husband is your family too.”

Tang Beibei turned her head to look at Ruan Qi. She smiled and said with glistening eyes, “You’re right. 1 still have a family.”

“I thought your enemy has come up with some new tricks. I didn’t expect the old lady to say those words at all. Who do you think helped you?” Ruan Qi changed the subject.

Tang Beibei was also very puzzled. She also thought that the person who tried to harm her had another trick up her sleeve. She did not expect someone to release this video to help her clarify the truth.

Ruan Qi looked at Tang Beibei’s confused expression and thought to herself, could it be another one of Tang Beibei’s crushes who quietly help her handle this matter?

“Sigh, since we can’t find an answer to this matter, perhaps the answer will surface in the future. Beibei, you’re in a bad mood. Want to come with me to dance practice tonight?”

Ruan Qi had joined the dance club in her first year of university and was now a team leader. She spent most of her time in the dance studio.

Tang Beibei bit her lip and hesitated. “1 haven’t finished the reading assignment Professor Chen gave me.”

“We’ll just practice for an hour. You can go back to your reading after that.” Ruan Qi held Tang Beibei’s arm coquettishly.

“Alright, 1’11 go with you!”
