Greater than pain :2

As Laotian continued coughing, Yue Ling grew anxious. She started thinking about what could have caused it all and her eyes landed on the food she'd prepared.

"Was the food the cause?" she couldn't help but think. She might have added too much salt or any other seasoning resulting into Fengtian 's discomfort.

However, as Yue Ling was still thinking, a voice shouted, "What have you done to my son?"

Her soon to be mother in law asked this with anger on her face and an accusing gaze was apparent on her face. Her eyes were fierce and dangerous and suddenly Yue Ling was lost.

"Was this look from her soon to be in law?"

"Did she just ask what she'd done to her son?"

What could Yue Ling have done to the lady to deserve such treatment? Since she'd sacrificed so much for the Feng family, this wasn't what she expected to hear.

"Mother, why don't you let me first examine him?"

"Ahh!"

Before she could finish speaking, the soon to be "in law" left her "ailing" son and attacked Yue Ling pulling her hair forward harshly.

Yue Ling would surely never forget this day and the surprise and pain were evident on her face.

These Rich missies and Madams only knew the kind of fighting that involved pulling fellow women's hair and yelling but the method was too fake and could be countered moreso by Yue Ling who had real fighting experience.

Although now since the person fighting her was her mother in law, Yue Ling couldn't fight back and could only endure.

The more she thought about it now, back then she'd vaguely seen Feng Laotian smiling happily as the fight went on.

"Do you think I'd let a quack doctor like you check my son? What will you see aside from covering up for yourself?

Laotian's mother insulted.

"People like you deserve this,"

The lady submerged her face in the large bowl with meat.

The sauce was still hot and the effects in her face was a scalding pain.

Since the face has the most sensitive cells, you can imagine the hot oil and water mixed with all the spices in the food.

Not only that, due to the surprise her mouth was still open so the food entered her mouth and nostrils.

The whole experience was gross and it appeared as though she was gargling in the bowl of meat because she couldn't breathe well.

Her assaulter finally felt satisfied and let go of Yue Ling's hair. As Yue Ling had shock on her face, the lady had a look of happiness with a sick smile plastered on to her face.

"Ling, Ling." Her mother called.

Yue Ling snapped out of her thoughts and responded to her mom who had a worried expression on her face.

"Are you well?" Yi Shuyan asked. When she'd arrived, Yue Ling didn't notice her and she was just watching her daughter who had so many thoughts in her mind.

"You cook meat," Yi Shuyan asked curiously.

"I do mom, a friend of mine abroad liked it," she lied.

"A friend, okay I hope you are comfortable with it, don't force yourself," Yi Shuyan pressed.

"I am mother," Yue Ling replied.

The two had dinner together later and Yi Shuyan's curiosity peeked again.

There were secrets.
