Chapter 640: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 640: Ruthless Yan Yan Resolves Her Heartache (1)
It is not uncommon to find people who look alike in the world, and Chen Ji, having traveled extensively, had seen many. However, when he encountered someone whose features seemed carved from the same mold as his own family, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
Moreover, the older one among the two, with facial features that bore a striking resemblance to his wife, combined with the coincidental ages, made it hard for him to believe that this was mere coincidence.
Realizing this, Chen Ji's face darkened, and his gaze towards the Mo sisters turned venomous.
Mo Yan felt as if she were being targeted by a venomous snake, a chill running through her body as she clearly sensed the source of the man's hostility.
Beside her, Xin'er, scared, unconsciously gripped her sister's hand. She couldn’t understand why a man who seemed so gentle would have such a terrifying and intimidating look.
Mo Yan squeezed her sister’s hand in silent comfort. Once Xin'er began to calm down, Mo Yan addressed the shop assistant, saying, “Weren’t you supposed to take us to the private room? Why haven’t you led us there yet?”
The shop assistant, troubled by the presence of Chen Ji’s group and the intense pressure coming from Mo Yan, was about to politely ask Chen Ji and his party to leave to clear the way. However, before he could do so, Chen Shanshan stormed forward, pushing him aside and pointing angrily at Mo Yan. “You shameless woman, blocking my way and daring to ignore me—where did you get the gall?”
“You, be quiet!” Xin'er, who had always prioritized her sister, stepped forward boldly despite her fear. She retorted, “You are dressed in fine clothes, behaving like a noble lady, yet your language is filled with filth. Even the roughest country women wouldn’t speak as you do. It’s better to let others see what the daughters of wealthy families are really like!”
At first, Chen Shanshan didn’t take the young Xin'er seriously, but her sharp rebuke made her furious. She raised her right hand high and slapped Xin'er ’s face with force. “You little vixen, you’re asking for death!”
Mo Yan’s face darkened. Amid Du Shi’s exclamations and Chen Ji’s furious roar, she kicked Chen Shanshan in the stomach. Though the kick seemed light, it sent Chen Shanshan flying half a yard away, landing right at the feet of the stunned couple.
“Ah—” Chen Shanshan’s scream, like that of a pig being slaughtered, echoed through the fabric store.
Chen Ji’s face turned ashen. He hurriedly bent down to pick up his daughter. “Shanshan, Shanshan, how are you? Quickly, find a doctor!”
Du Shi, hearing this, urgently sent her maid to get a doctor and anxiously fussed over Chen Shanshan, her caring demeanor at odds with the typical behavior of a stepmother towards a stepdaughter.
“Ah—It hurts so much, Father, I’m going to die from the pain! You… you need to kill her… no, find someone to sell her to the lowest brothel. I want to see her trampled by a thousand people. Go, go avenge me, avenge me!”
Chen Shanshan, drenched in sweat and clutching Chen Ji’s clothes, howled in pain while demanding revenge, her words far from the decorum expected of a refined young lady.
“Shanshan, the doctor is coming soon, hold on and don’t speak! Don’t worry, I will definitely avenge you!” Chen Ji gently comforted his daughter, handing her over to the maids before striding towards Mo Yan, his eyes betraying no concealment of his murderous intent.
Seven or eight years ago, when Chen Ji had just returned to his hometown and learned that his beloved woman had married someone else, he had developed murderous thoughts towards the Mo family, though he was stopped by Du Shi. Recently, when Du Shi had brought up the matter of the child again, his murderous intent had resurfaced. He had sent people to Mo Village, only to find out that the Mo family had perished during their escape.
