Back to the 1980s: Transmigrated as the Bigshot's Pampered Wife-Chapter 148: Arguing Again

Sheng Shiwu thought his parents would ask him where he got the braised donkey meat, but they didn’t.

He had spent the entire walk home racking his brain for an excuse, but now it seemed he didn’t need one.

Instead of feeling disappointed, Sheng Shiwu was relieved. "Dad, Mom, enjoy your meal. I’m going to go wash up."

Mr. Sheng knew perfectly well that his younger son had brought the dish from Jiaojiao’s house, so he made a point not to ask.

As for Mrs. Sheng, her mind was completely preoccupied with her daughter. It wouldn’t have mattered if her son had brought home dragon meat, let alone donkey meat; it wouldn’t have captured her attention.

The bellyful of anger Mr. Sheng felt toward his daughter was instantly dispelled by the braised donkey meat. In reality, it was the sentiment from Gu Jiaojiao that truly soothed him.

"Cui Ping, you didn’t eat dinner. Come have some of this braised meat. It smells absolutely fragrant.

Look at it—the color is so vibrant, it looks delicious, and the meat is tender. The five-spice aroma is rich without being greasy. The aftertaste is incredible. This is truly the most delicious food in the world."

It took Mr. Sheng a few bites to realize it was donkey meat. Donkey meat was delicious and was said to be good for balancing one’s yin and yang.

Jiaojiao was so generous, giving them such a large bowl. Donkey meat was especially expensive, too.

"Old Sheng, you’re eating with such gusto, you’d think it was dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder."

Mrs. Sheng had been sitting in stunned silence ever since her daughter went upstairs. Finally, the aroma of the braised donkey meat piqued her interest.

"Try some and you’ll see how good it is. Here, come sit down. I’ll get a bowl of rice for you."

Mrs. Sheng hadn’t eaten dinner, and once she started, she couldn’t stop.

Hearing the commotion, Sheng Shiwen came downstairs as well. Seeing the large bowl of donkey meat, he went to get himself a bowl of rice and joined them.

Sheng Shiwu’s shower had been an excuse. He was mainly afraid his parents would ask where the braised donkey meat came from, so he hid in his room after he was done.

"Dad, should we call Xiao Wu down to eat too?" Sheng Shiwen was very curious to know if the donkey meat was from the Su family.

"No need. He already ate at his classmate’s house." Mr. Sheng didn’t want to complicate things.

"Xiao Wen, get a small bowl and set some aside for Yueyue to try tomorrow." Mrs. Sheng was always thinking about her daughter.

"Okay, Mom. You eat more. You’ve lost a lot of weight recently. This bowl must have at least four or five pounds of meat in it."

"Xiao Wen, you eat more too. It’s been so hot lately, nobody has much of an appetite."

At first, Mrs. Sheng didn’t want to talk, but Mr. Sheng and Sheng Shiwen were enjoying the food so much that the father and son kept up a cheerful conversation.

The two of them stuck to lighthearted topics, and Mrs. Sheng eventually chimed in with a few words. And so, the three of them ate the delicious food and chatted.

After eating and drinking her fill at dinner, Sheng Yueyue had returned to her room. From start to finish, she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong.

She knew the world was unfair. In her previous life, she had been so well-behaved, yet she was always the one who got bullied. In the end, she was always the one who got hurt.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had been bullied by other children her age. Later, even after she was finally brought back into the Sheng Family,

she was always too insecure to speak up, and when she was bullied, she never dared to use her father’s or older brother’s influence to fight back.

She hated it when Gu Jiaojiao was nice to her. She felt it was just a blatant way of showing off.

But she couldn’t deny that Gu Jiaojiao had lived well in both her past and present lives. It was no surprise she lived well in her past life; she had married well.

But in this life, she had married a cripple and was burdened by the Gu Family, yet she was still so dazzling.

’In my past life, my parents and older brother genuinely pitied me. But I suffered so much, so what good was their pity!’

Her ability to be reborn was surely because she had suffered so much in her past life that even Heaven couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

She was the chosen one, possessing an unparalleled advantage.

She had seen the prosperity of the future. She could act with impunity, do whatever she wanted.

She could make all those people who had looked down on her in her past life bow at her feet.

But that was just her imagination. Not only did people not bow to her, but they constantly compared her to Gu Jiaojiao.

Her older brother avoided her, her father hit her, and while her mother loved her just as she had in her previous life, her mother’s love was completely useless to her.

’Why is it like this!’

’It’s all that damn Gu Jiaojiao’s fault.’

’Whether in my past life or this one, that bitch Gu Jiaojiao is my nemesis.’

The more Sheng Yueyue thought about it, the more she felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking her throat, making it hard to breathe.

She didn’t want to cry, but tears streamed down her face against her will. "SOB... SOB..."

Sheng Yueyue hated Gu Jiaojiao to the core, but she was powerless against her. Her heart was full of resentment with no outlet.

Because that cripple’s gaze was as terrifying as a wolf’s, and he was low-class enough to hit a woman. The last time had frightened her.

In her past life, she had been too weak, completely unable to fight back, only able to be bullied.

’But in this life, I’m slowly growing stronger. Didn’t I just take on ten people today? So I must get revenge on Gu Jiaojiao.’

’As long as Gu Jiaojiao is dead, there will be no one to compare me to. In a few more years, I’ll be the widely admired Mrs. Song.’

’Then, I will definitely make everyone in Qing City kneel at my feet and beg for mercy.’

The more Sheng Yueyue thought about it, the more thrilled she became. She forcefully wiped the tears from her eyes, then got up, put on her shoes, and prepared to go downstairs to feign an apology to her father.

She needed to get back on her father’s good side to make things easier for herself. However, as Sheng Yueyue reached her bedroom door,

she heard bursts of laughter coming from the living room. "Mom, eat more. I heard donkey meat is good for your complexion~"

"I’m already old, what’s the point of beautifying my face? You little rascal, are you saying you’ve noticed my wrinkles lately?"

"He’d dare? If they dare to dislike you, I’ll be the first one to teach them a lesson. I’ll beat them to a pulp."

Mr. Sheng declared with an air of absolute authority, then burst into hearty laughter.

Sheng Yueyue stood on the second-floor landing, so angry her eyebrows seemed to stand on end and veins bulged on her neck.

She stared furiously at the scene in the living room below. "You’re actually sneaking food behind my back? And you’re all so happy about it!"

"Yueyue, you’re not asleep yet?" Mrs. Sheng asked with concern upon hearing her daughter’s voice.

"I’m not asleep. Are you disappointed?" Sheng Yueyue accused her mother, her anger boiling over.

"Yueyue, is that any way to talk to your mother? Have you no manners?"

"I’m a child who grew up feeding pigs, what kind of manners would I have? No wonder you’re all eating good food behind my back."

Sheng Yueyue’s usually graceful face, now twisted in fury, was a terrifying sight—like an elegant cat suddenly screeching and baring its fangs.

"You... You... You’re being completely unreasonable!" Mr. Sheng’s face, twisted with anger, resembled that of a furious lion.

"I’m unreasonable? Weren’t you just saying that Gu Jiaojiao was the unreasonable one? Now that she’s married, has your attention shifted?"

"Get out! Just looking at you makes me feel like I’m suffocating." Mr. Sheng’s temper flared.

"I’m not leaving! I was originally going to apologize to you, to let go of the fact that you hit me yesterday, but you won’t even give me the time of day?"

"Old Sheng, don’t get so worked up. Yueyue came to apologize to you."

"Does she look like she’s apologizing? It looks more like she wishes I’d die faster."

"Yueyue, are you trying to make Dad faint from anger again? Hurry back to your room. Your second brother is begging you."
