Chapter 16: Tit for Tat
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The so-called rich man that Feng Yueyue found was a downstream supplier who relied on the Fang family for his business. His net worth was only a few tens of millions. He had started from nothing with his country wife, but he was a male chauvinist and always wanted a son.
He's had many mistresses over the years. He wanted an illegitimate son to inherit his family business. However, no one knows if it was because he couldn't, or it was just fate that no matter how many mistresses were pregnant, they all had daughters. The babies were all aborted eventually and the mistresses paid off and sent away.
Feng Yueyue somehow found a way to hook up with this man. She had been attending functions with him this year and Fang Tong ran into her at a dinner party. After just a little probing, Fang Tong found out that there was so much gossip behind their relationship.
Although Fang Tong and Feng Yueyue were not on good terms, Feng Yueyue and her still went to the same school so no matter how showy Feng Yueyue was at school, Fang Tong never mentioned this matter to anyone.
Now that the Fang family was down and out, Feng Yueyue took it upon herself to provoke Fang Tong and pick fights. Then, no one could blame Fang Tong for being heartless. She would air all her dirty laundry and see who would be more embarrassed!
"Tsk tsk tsk! Why would a beautiful girl be a mistress? This so-called rich man already has four children. Besides, he must be old enough to be your father! Feng Yueyue, do you have serious daddy issues?" Fang Tong's roommate couldn't help but to add fuel to the fire.
Feng Yueyue's expression turned ugly as Fang Tong and her roommate teased her, in front of so many classmates who were all looking and pointing at her. She abandoned the queue for food and ran away covering her face.
"Complete lack of self-awareness!" Fang Tong's roommate pursed her lips and said in disdain as she watched Feng Yueyue leave.
"Alright, let's not ruin our mood for a good meal because of her."
Fang Tong nudged her roommate. "It's our turn. Hurry up and get some sweet and sour ribs. They run out quickly."
"Right!"
Fang Tong wanted to go back to her dormitory to rest after lunch. But she received a call from her sister, Fang Xin. Fang Tong immediately informed her roommate and left school. She asked the driver to send her to Fang Xin's hotel.
"Ding dong!"
"Coming."
The moment the door opened, and she saw her sister, whom she had not seen for many years, Fang Tong could not hold it in. Her eyes turned red as she hugged her tightly and called out, "Sister!"
With the company going bankrupt, her father missing, her mother passing away, and the family villa being auctioned off, Fang Tong felt that things had been piling up on her that she almost couldn't breathe. She did not even have the time to grieve and had been relying on her stubbornness to hold on.
Now that she saw her only family in the world, Fang Tong could not hold it in any longer. She hugged her sister and started crying.
"Alright, Alright. Don't be sad, Tong. Your sister is back. No one will bully you again."
Fang Tong calmed down after a long while. She wiped her tears in embarrassment and looked around the room. When she saw that Fang Xin was alone, she could not help but frown, "Where's brother-in-law? Didn't he come back with you?"
Fang Xin's expression changed slightly as she lowered her gaze. "He... He didn't come back. We... divorced."
"What?" Fang Tong was shocked. "How did this happen? Is it because our family went bankrupt that brother-in-law's family..."
Fang Xin pursed her lips. Fang Tong saw that her sister was wearing a turtleneck in summer. She felt that something was wrong, so she took a few steps forward and pulled on Fang Xin's collar. As expected, her snow-white skin was covered in bruises.
"How dare he hit you!" Fang Tong was furious.
