Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 635 Get A Life

Although Tang Hebe’s heart hurt because of those words, she didn’t want to appear weak. At least, not in front of Ruan Meilin. And she was not that weak anymore either. 

”Well, at least, I was his proper and legal wife,” she commented as if casually reminding her of that indisputable fact. “What are you, Miss Ruan?” asked Tang Hebe provocatively.

Ruan Meilin also didn’t back down as she shot back, “You’ve been long gone, Bebe. So, you must have not heard that I am very important to Shui Xian now. He even helped me in fighting for my inheritance rights.”

”Oh, important?” repeated Tang Hebe. “So, how would you define your relationship? Are you his mistress now?”

”Tang Hebe!” Ruan Meilin’s voice took a sharp turn. 

Tang Hebe smiled at her, “Come on, did I say anything wrong? You definitely aren’t his lover. So, I can only call you a mistress but that is also not possible. Shui Xian never liked dirty things. He had always been a proper man and a very loyal one at that too. You can only be his mistress only in your crazy head.” She lowered her voice and added, “And don’t go around saying that you have a relationship with Shui Xian. He has a wife now. And she isn’t a very nice person. You wouldn’t wanna mess with her.”

”That Raelle Xiang is nothing,” argued Ruan Meilin hatefully. “Just like you, she is also a fool, I can control. Shui Xian will always be mine.”

Tang Hebe suddenly felt pity for this cousin of hers, “Delusional!” she muttered before rolling her eyes and saying, “Meilin, Meilin, Meilin! How should I wake you up? You said the same thing to me when I signed the divorce papers with Shui Xian that Shui Xian was always yours and I got between you two. Once I’m gone, he’ll be yours again. But what happened? I was gone for years and did you manage to get him? No! He married someone else! He married someone exceptional!”

”Exceptional? What does that Raelle Xiang have except for her family power and wealth?” retorted Ruan Meilin.

”At least, she has power and wealth,” was Tang Hebe’s response. “What do you have?” Ruan Meilin glared at her which Tang Hebe naturally ignored and continued, “In fact, you have nothing. No power, no money, and no beauty! In fact, your whole existence is a copy of mine. What exactly do you have of yours at this point? Oh, I think I know. You have your delusions!”

”You’re feeling quite conceited,” commented Ruan Meilin gnashing her teeth in anger. “But don’t forget, he isn’t yours as well. And you can’t compete with that Raelle Xiang either.”

”Do I look that bored in life?” asked Tang Hebe. “Why would I go and compete with Raelle Xiang for no reason? What does she have to do with me?”

”What? Already lost before starting the fight with your love rival?” 

Tang Hebe rolled her eyes again, “Meilin, use your brain for once. I have no love rival at all.”

”Oh, you think Shui Xian will be yours just because you came back? All his past feelings will be awoken once he looked at you? Are you that self-confident or plain crazy?”

Tang Hebe stared at Ruan Meilin as she thought, ‘Am I crazy? I still might lose in front of you when it comes to craziness. Your condition has worsened in all these years. Tsk!’

”Is your world so small?” asked Tang Hebe. “Why is everything about Shui Xian? Okay, he might be everything to you but believe me, my cousin, people have other important things in life. A man is not everything. Yes, I loved that man very much. And I do love him but that does not mean he is my everything. Especially when he is already married and happy. Raelle and I have no reason to compete at all. I and Xian got divorced willingly. I’d be a fool to come and ask him to take me back.”

”You’re still looking down on me,” retorted Ruan Meilin. “Believe it or not, you’re nothing in front of me now. You don’t even have the Tang family behind you to save you.”

”In these years, I have learned a very important lesson,” said Tang Hebe calmly, not minding her words at all. “If you lean on a mountain, the mountain will crash. If you lean on a tree, it can fall down. So, one should always learn to stand on their own two feet. Because only then no one can tear you down. I’m alone enough to support myself. Thank you very much but I’m more than happy to have nothing to do with the Tang family anymore.”

Without waiting for Ruan Meilin to continue her nonsense, Tang Hebe decided to slip away because she was tired already. It was exhausting to talk to Ruan Meilin.

”Meilin, just a piece of advice for you,” said Tang Hebe before leaving. “Learn to love yourself. You’ve been crying for years that no one loves you but I have never seen you loving yourself either.” She patted her shoulder in encouragement, “And stop thinking about Shui Xian. Trust me, he isn’t the center of gravity. Get a life!”

And with that, she was gone leaving a frustrated and raging Ruan Meilin behind. Not like Tang Hebe cared about her mood at all. She didn’t. Not at all. 

For the first time in years, she had also come to question whether Ruan Meilin was really obsessed with Shui Xian or was she just obsessed with her? And although it crept her a little, she couldn’t deny that it seemed that Ruan Meilin’s obsession lay with Tang Hebe. Because from a young age, Ruan Meilin always wanted what was hers. 

So, how was it possible that she’d fall for the same guy as her? No, she didn’t fall for him. He became her obsession. She just wanted to snatch him from Tang Hebe and for once wanted to win against Tang Hebe. However, Shui Xian never gave her that chance at all.
