Xie Qingqing looked at the old lady in shock. She had spoken to Tang Qiu as if the latter were nothing, and the Feng family were nobility. She finally understood why Tang Qiu rarely brought up her grandmother.

Tang Qiu stared at her grandmother, long accustomed to the verbal abuse. The only thing she could do was to provide her grandmother with a comfortable life. “I won’t get a divorce,” she repeated. “If you don’t want to hear my explanation, then go back to the nursing home!”

“I raised you better than this…” Tang Qiu’s grandmother was so angry that her complexion changed color and her fingers trembled.

“Raised me to what? Be bullied? To not retaliate in the face of beatings and scoldings? I’ve had enough!” Tang Qiu took a deep breath. “I dreamt of leaving the Feng family, and Jiang Shaocheng gave me a home. I married him for stability. Grandma, hurry back to the nursing home, before you embarrass yourself–I’m begging you!”

Only then did Madam Tang realize that students were staring at her strangely. Her face turned red; she had made a spectacle of herself in her rage.

Feng Yao watched in pleasure behind the gate as Tang Qiu got beaten up. Madam Tang was extremely image-conscious, and had always felt humiliated by her daughter’s status as a mistress, not to mention indebted to the Feng family. She had always been very strict with Tang Qiu; if she knew her granddaughter had stolen and married another woman’s fiance, the old lady would view it as her imperative to teach her a lesson. Even if Tang Qiu explained the circumstances behind her marriage, her grandmother would definitely demand that she get a divorce once she found out that she had married a cripple. Moreover, Madam Tang was Tang Qiu’s family–and her weakness. Feng Yao didn’t believe that Tang Qiu would dare to defy her grandmother’s wishes!

In the mansion, He Lei entered the study to report that someone had hit the young mistress. She hadn’t fought back–only cried.

Jiang Shaocheng was so furious that he slammed the document he was holding on the table. His face darkened. “Who is it?”

He Lei immediately showed him the recorded video. He had paid a student to act as Tang Qiu’s shadow in school, so they would know once anything happened to her.

In the video, Jiang Shaocheng saw an old lady raise her arm and slap his wife. His expression changed. If he had been present, he would have had that hand removed!

“I think it’s the young mistress’ grandmother,” He Lei said, head lowered.

Jiang Shaocheng frowned. Tang Qiu had mentioned that she had a grandmother, but had never looked happy when raising the subject. There must be something wrong with their relationship. His work matters could wait. He got up and left for Tang Qiu’s school.

He Lei hurriedly followed behind him and drove him there.

When they arrived, Jiang Shaocheng rolled down the window and saw Tang Qiu sitting in a cafe.
