Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1351  Maniac

Followed by the crunching sound of bones, Lin Qiao's scream echoed in the silent hallway of the hospital. Mu Chenyan's expression didn't even fluctuate while Xia Zhao closed his eyes helplessly. No matter how much he disliked his mother, he really couldn't treat her like this. That's why he usually chose the tactic of avoidance and silence. But it was true that this only made Lin Qiao think that he still had her in his heart which was absolutely a lie.

"She still doesn't hold back," commented Dr. Cai as she crossed her arms and was enjoying the show in front of her. Well, there wasn't much entertainment in the hospital so this was considered rather fun to her. Hearing her voice, Xia Hao snapped back from his stunned state and wanted to rush to his mother's side but Dr. Cai held him back.

"Take advice from someone older than you, learn to restrain yourself."

"That's my mother!" he snapped. Dr. Cai shrugged, "Are you blind? It's your mother who started it too. If you are gonna purposely go in front of the sleeping tiger and annoy him, what are you expecting? Your mother should have known better before going up to mess with that she-devil over there. And if she doesn't know any better, then you should. If you took a step closer, you are gonna get the burnt of this too." With that, she let his wrist go. "The choice is up to you. I already warned you that Mu Chenyan is anything but patient and gentle."

Xia Hao wanted to do something but he stopped once he looked into Mu Chenyan's eyes. Those chilled eyes told him that Dr. Cai was right. If he really moved, he'd be the next victim. And just because he was young, he did not have the delusion that he'd be able to win in a fight. Even if he didn't know Mu Chenyan much, he knew that the woman always provoked his elder brother and grew up fighting with him. So, he really couldn't underestimate her skills.

"Yanzi!" called out Xia Zhao.

Mu Chenyan looked over at him and asked, "What?"

"Fix it!"

"No," she replied.

"Yanzi, do it."

Mu Chenyan growled under her breath before fixing the dislocated wrist of Lin Qiao which only made the latter scream even louder and Mu Chenyan smirked to herself. Well, who didn't know that breaking bones didn't hurt as much as fixing them did? With a jerk, she threw Lin Qiao away which made the latter stumble, and could only stabilize herself when Xia Hao helped her or else her bum would have kissed the ground right now.

"You bitch!" shouted Lin Qiao. "Oh, did you just realize that?" asked Mu Chenyan with fake surprise. "But you should have known this already. It has long been established that I'm not a good person. What made you think I won't do anything to you after you not only cursed at my husband but also raised your hand at him? Who the hell are you? Who gave you the right to yell at him? Did you take my permission before trying to touch my husband?"

Xia Zhao pursed his lips to suppress his smile right now. It always felt amazing when Mu Chenyan claimed him as her own. But being protected by her was just another feeling. What can he say now, he didn't mind hiding behind her. He was more than happy to do so once in a while. On the other hand, Lin Qiao was shocked from the moment she heard Mu Chenyan say that Xia Zhao was her husband. How was that possible? How come she didn't know about this? No! It was impossible! It must be this wench's wishful thinking and nothing more than that. Yes, that must be true!

"He is my son!" gnashed Lin Qiao. "And I'll never let your wishful thinking become true. He can never be your husband. I will never allow that."

"Sadly for you, it isn't up to you," replied Mu Chenyan. "Because I am his legally wedded wife. I have the law on my side. You, what do you even have? You only give birth to him and nothing else. You are not even in the same family book as him. So, who has the wishful thinking here exactly?"

Lin Qiao's body trembled as she wanted to scratch Mu Chenyan's face but she knew she couldn't do that. She was well aware of her own strength. She couldn't even play the age card but Mu Chenyan didn't give a fuck about any of that. This was why she really hated her! She was even more difficult to control than Xia Zhao. How could she accept this daughter-in-law? Never! "You shameless sl*t! You must have seduced my son. It must be. Or else how could he fall for someone like you? You must have tricked him with your treachery. Yes! You have always been a treacherous person. You definitely did something shady to marry my son. But I'm telling you, I will never accept you as my daughter-in-law! Zhao, why are you standing there? Divorce this wench right now!"

Xia Zhao's face hardened and his fists clenched in anger but Mu Chenyan covered his fist with her hand. She didn't want him to do something against his own principles just for her. Anyway, she could do whatever she wanted. It was age-old saying that no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could live in peace. Some mothers-in-law tortured their daughters-in-law and some daughters-in-law tortured their mothers-in-law. Anyway, one of them had to dominate, no? And in her case, the person who could assert dominance over her had yet to be born! Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Mu Chenyan laughed at Lin Qiao's distorted expression and laughed even more slowly. "Trechery? Scheming? Shady things? Seduction? Are you talking about yourself, Miss Lin Qiao?" She gave her a mocking smile as she went on, "Do you think everyone is like you who needs to resort to scheming and seduction to get a man? I think you are better at those things than me. I was never taught such shady things. Especially, no one taught me how to steal my own best friend's fiance, and that too, right in that best friend's house. It was you who used all that to get Uncle Song. Do you think I need to do all that? Besides, you never got accepted by the whole Xia Clan but yet you are here married to Uncle Song. What makes you think just your acceptance is necessary in my life?"

Lin Qiao shook violently when Mu Chenyan reminded her of the dark past that she had always tried to avoid. She never let anyone mention any of that but today, she really hit the iron plate. No, she picked up the stone and smashed it on her own foot by going up against Mu Chenyan. How could she forget that this woman never had any filter on her mouth? "You!"

"What? You can do it and I can't even speak about it, eh? How is that possible? Can you even stop me? You should have thought before trying to mess with me. I don't mind giving you a lesson that life didn't manage to teach you even until now. I don't understand it. Where does this arrogance of yours come from? What do you even have? Just the title of Mrs. Xia Songbei? Do you find it honorable? Don't you see how people laugh at you behind your back and find you pitiful too? You ruined Uncle Song and he didn't throw you away that's already very kind of him. But you take this kindness for granted. Why is that? Do you really think you are all that? Maybe you are, but don't ever forget that I'm Mu Chenyan. I have always been a nightmare. And I love being one too."

Lin Qiao lowered her head and slowly her shoulders started shaking heavily. It seemed like she was crying but when she looked up, one could see that she was laughing. Laughing like a maniac right now.

Seeing her like this, Mu Chenyan turned to Xia Zhao, "I didn't break her, did I? Tsk. Tsk. Her mental fortitude is really weak if this much was enough to break her."

Xia Zhao didn't know what to say because he also didn't know what was going on and why his mother was suddenly laughing like a fool right now. He also wondered if Mu Chenyan's words made his mother go crazy but that shouldn't be. After all, his mother wasn't that weak. If she was, she wouldn't have been able to survive as the wife of Xia Songbei until now with how much of a bad image she had in their circle.

Even if most people didn't say it to her face, no one was a big fan of Lin Qiao in their circle either. They only gave her face because of Xia Songbei.
