My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 281

SYNOPSIS:

“Her beauty knows no bound. She has the elegance of a rose. That’s right. She is a rose. Beautiful… with thorns.”

…

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Snow White who ran away from her fath- *ahem* the evil king just to protect her seven charming men from being killed. Supporting these seven men was never easy especially when she was in charge of their food and lodging. Thankfully, her brother was a siscon. With his help, despite having her bank account freeze by the evil king, money was not a problem anymore.

Until one day, a tragic accident happened which caused her to lose all her memories. Not only that, it even caused her to finally get the attention of the cold, ruthless, BLOOD-LOVING Devil. There was no prince. Nope. He was not a dreamy prince. There was nothing so princely about him.

The Devil pushed the door open and cast his eyes on the woman who was tying her hair up into a high ponytail. “Are you done yet?”

“Almost!” Snow White happily exclaimed. She checked herself one last time in the mirror and was satisfied with how she looked. “We hardly have a night out, I want to dress beautifully for it.”

“It doesn’t matter what you wear, it’s all coming off at the end anyway.”

“…” She looked at him in disbelief, her cheeks burning red. Weren’t they just going out for a dinner date? She thought of a perfect excuse to reject him. “My period came earlier.”

The side of his lips curled up into a smirk as he cheekily replied, “a real warrior is not afraid to have his sword drench in blood.”

“…”

He truly was a blood-loving Devil. *sigh* Poor Snow White.

EXCERPT:

“You bitch! What are you doing here?!!” The woman who she remembered as Bai Jingye’s mother, Xu Chen, came rushing to her like a furious animal.

The next moment, a loud crispy slap was heard across the room.

Xu Chen glared down at the younger woman in front of her, “I will never accept an illiterate like you as my family! Get out of MY house!!!”

‘Illiterate? The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this bitch! Did she just call me illiterate?!’ Fumed Mengmeng in mind. Sure, she could feel the stinging sensation on her cheek after the slap but she saw it coming.

Weird. Instead of stopping her mother-in-law, she didn’t mind accepting it. She was her mother-in-law. She didn’t want to be rude. She should have known that she would be meeting this woman soon enough after arriving in her husband’s place.

“Mother,” she slowly turned her head and looked at her with strange calmness in her eyes which startled the other woman. She wasn’t surprised or bothered by the slap she received.

For some reason, the way she looked at her made Xu Chen feel anxious at the sudden change in Mengmeng’s eyes. There was something about her presence that told her that she wasn’t as docile as she thought she was which made her arrogance decline,

“Y-You… you dared to call me mother?! A stupid woman like you?! You have no right to call me ‘mother’!!!”

The bizarre air coming from Mengmeng… how should she describe it? Ah… what was that saying again?

A calm before the storm.

“If you are going to insult me, then please do your research properly,” the way she spoke to her was polite and yet, at the same time, sharp and insolent. “I believe illiterate is a wrong word to describe me. You see, I can read and write. I know proper manners too… Mother.”

Mengmeng didn’t notice that she ended up staring intensely at Xu Chen when she recalled a small part of her past. Even if she didn’t mean it, the way she looked at her mother-in-law didn’t belong to a sheep but instead… it was like that of a predator who was about to jump on her prey.

“W-Wang Yan!” Xu Chen shouted, calling the head maid. She clenched her fists tightly as she continued, “take this stupid woman out! Throw her things outside!”

Mengmeng was clearly not in the mood to entertain her mother-in-law now that a part of her memory returned. She wanted to think more of what she recalled, maybe she would be able to remember more?

“Calling me a stupid woman…” she paused, the side of her lips curled up into a smile. How many times has she heard that word already? “… I don’t think that’s enough to insult me as well. There are better ways to insult me, mother. Would you like me to give you an example?”

It was like an evil spirit entered Mengmeng’s body. The devious smile that appeared on her lips sent shivers down the other woman’s body. The urge to run away filled the bodies of those who were present in the room.

Xu Chen staggered and was lost of words at that moment but at the same time, anger flared her up. She was not going to give in so easily! Not to a woman like her! “I-is that how you talk to someone older than you?!”

“Using that card this time, huh?” Mengmeng chuckled, amused. “So what if you’re older? Are you even worthy of my respect?”

If there was someone who could really hit a nerve of hers with their insults, those two women should be- huh?

A crease ended up forming in between her brows at the thought of remembering something. She was about to recall something again…

Those two women? What was she thinking about? Who could be those two women?

She tried to force herself to remember but instead of remembering, a sharp pain filled her head, making her hold her head as she crouched and g.r.o.a.n.e.d in pain.
