Chapter 287: If You Beat Them, You Can’t Beat Me

"This is all Lan Qingman’s fault. If she hadn’t done something so completely deranged, why would the Qin family be at our door demanding to settle the score?"

Liu Ya’s eyes were filled with resentment. Unable to bear it any longer, she finally exploded.

’Why should she and her child have to suffer this humiliation?’

’This had nothing to do with her.’

"Shut up!" Mother Lan was furious.

’At a time like this, she still has the nerve to bicker over such things.’

’Did she really think they wanted things to turn out this way?’

’She had no idea what that wretched girl had done.’

Seeing this, Liu Ya’s anger only burned hotter.

"You’re telling me to shut up? I told you long ago, spoiling Lan Qingman like this would only ruin her, and it would ruin our family too.

"But no, you all thought I was just being a busybody. And look what happened! She’s completely destroyed the Lan family’s reputation! She’s a jinx, the most selfish and vicious woman there is—"

SLAP! A hand struck Liu Ya across the face.

"—You hit me?" Liu Ya stared at her mother-in-law in disbelief.

Mother Lan’s face was contorted with rage as she glared viciously.

"That’s right, I hit you. No matter what my daughter has done, it’s not your place to stand here and bad-mouth her. This is the Lan family’s home! Who are you to complain about my daughter? If you run your mouth again, then get out of the Lan family!"

"You—" Liu Ya was so furious she could barely speak. She turned to look at Lan Mingxuan, only to see him with his head down, not even trying to help her.

Her disappointment instantly turned to rage. "Fine, I’ll leave! As if I give a damn about your Lan family. It must have been the worst luck of my life to marry into your family."

She grabbed her son and started for the door.

When Mother Lan saw that she was actually trying to take her grandson, she knew she couldn’t let that happen.

She immediately roared, "Liu Ya, you can get the hell out, but you are not taking my grandson!"

Liu Ya sneered. "I’m not like that vicious woman Lan Qingman, who wouldn’t even spare her own flesh and blood. I will not leave my son in this house."

With that, she shoved Mother Lan aside and quickly pulled her son toward the main door.

She opened the main door.

When she saw how many members of the Qin family had come, she froze in fear.

She immediately blurted out, "I’m divorcing Lan Mingxuan! If you’re here to fight, go on in and fight them. I have nothing to do with them."

After saying this, her heart pounded with anxiety.

She was terrified that she and her son would be beaten by the Qin family.

’How could she possibly be a match for this mob on her own?’

Fortunately, Mrs. Qin merely glanced at her before leading the Qin family to storm inside—

Seeing that they weren’t going to attack her, Liu Ya couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, watching the fierce and menacing way the members of the Qin family carried themselves, she decided not to leave just yet.

After all, if she left the Lan family, she had no intention of coming back, but she needed to grab some of her things.

She immediately lowered her head and whispered to her son.

"Son, don’t move from this spot. Mommy’s going to get some things, and then we’ll go back to Grandma’s house."

While the Qin family was beating up the three Lan family members, she carefully scurried past them and went back into the house to grab her things.

When she came back out, she glanced over at the Lan family members.

The father and son had both been beaten to the ground—

The scene terrified Liu Ya, and she hurried to leave.

Mrs. Qin was pinning Mother Lan down, beating her.

She beat Mother Lan’s face until it swelled up like a pig’s head.

The other seven from the Qin family, meanwhile, were ganging up on the Lan father and son—

Half an hour later, Mrs. Qin led the women of her family away, swaggering off as they went.

Left behind, Mother Lan broke into loud sobs and wails. "Damn them! There’s no justice in this world! The Qin family is bullying us common folk! I’m calling the police! I have to call the police—"

The faces of the Lan father and son were also swollen and misshapen.

Their expressions were incredibly dark.

"Shut up!" one of the men snapped. ’Call the police?’

’Hasn’t our family been humiliated enough?’
