I transmigrated to the 1970s and became the female lead's vicious stepsister.

Chapter 42 Flirting

What is selfishness?

"Not letting you take advantage of me means I'm selfish?"

"Who do you think we are? Don't you know what you're thinking, having your daughter host the banquet with me?"

"You have the nerve to call me selfish? You're the most selfish person in this family. You want everything, but you're unwilling to give anything in return. You just want to get something for nothing. Do you think I have the word 'idiot' printed on my forehead?"

Du Lijuan was stripped of her dignity by Su Lingwu on the spot, especially with Fu Linchuan still present, which made Du Lijuan lose face.

The muscles on the left side of her nose were twitching incessantly, and it wasn't hard to guess that Du Lijuan wanted nothing more than to slap Su Lingwu to vent her anger.

Su Lingtang glared at Su Lingwu, her eyes brimming with anger. Su Lingwu had gone too far.

Her mother was, after all, her elder, and Su Lingwu humiliated her like that.

Su Lingtang wants to find his biological mother.

"Su Lingwu, what right do you have to talk about my mother like that? For so many years, my mother has always given in to you. I've never argued with you over anything, yet you act like a tyrant at home. What more do you want?!"

"My mom just wanted to save some money for the family. You just packed up and left, not caring at all, emptying our savings, and you're happy now, aren't you!"

In fact, Su Lingtang didn't want to hold the banquet together with Su Lingwu, but she knew very well that if they didn't hold it together, not only would there be few people when it was her turn, but she wouldn't receive any gifts, and she wouldn't even be able to recoup the cost of the banquet.

The Du family is unreliable, and neither are her father's relatives.

At this moment, Su Lingtang's jealousy of Su Lingwu reached its peak.

Why does she have so much while she has nothing? Sometimes she wonders why she isn't Su Lingwu.

Su Lingwu slammed her hand on the table and stood up, pointing at Su Lingtang.

"Explain yourself clearly. In what way has your mother been lenient with me? Can you honestly say that your mother treats you and Su Zicheng the same way she treats me?"

"Don't you know what you're thinking? Why should I be treated like a little cabbage, being bullied by you two?"

"Why should I sacrifice my own interests to please you and your mother? Just because I wasn't oppressed by my stepmother like other children, and didn't listen to everything you said, does that mean it's all my fault?"

"They say I'm domineering, they say I'm bullying people."

"But all of this belongs to me. This is my home. I'm just protecting my own things. What right do you intruders have to criticize me!"

"You think I emptied my family's savings? Isn't that ridiculous? My mom emptied her family's savings for me. My dad gave me two hundred yuan as a dowry, but I told him to tell me if I needed anything for the banquet, whether it was money or tickets. I didn't let my family bear all the costs, and I kept all the money from the banquet at home."

"On the contrary, Su Lingtang, why did your mother fight for this? Wasn't it to help you grab resources and save face? What right do you have to criticize me!"

"It's true what they say, 'A big forest has all sorts of birds,' even a robber dares to argue with me about right and wrong."

The room was quiet. Even if Du Lijuan and her daughter Su Lingtang combined, they couldn't defeat Su Lingwu.

Su Zicheng held the bowl of soy milk, hiding to the side to drink it quietly, while tightly clutching a fried dough stick in his hand, his eyes watching the movements inside the room.

They've clearly gotten used to this kind of scene.

The moment Su Lingwu slammed her hand on the table, this kid had already slipped away to the side.

She dared not offend any of the women—one was her biological mother, one was her half-sister, and the other was her half-sister; they were all her flesh and blood.

So, at a young age, Su Zicheng learned to be impartial, neither helping nor offending anyone.

We can't afford to offend any of them!

Fu Linchuan discovered that his little wife's fighting power was really good; she talked so much in one breath without even taking a breath.

I couldn't help but think that with this level of combat ability, they would be considered strong even in the military family compound.

The hand that slammed the table earlier was noticeably redder.

She reached out and took the little hand, which had been patted red, and examined it. The palm was full of pink. She gently blew on it.

Su Lingwu frowned and nudged Fu Linchuan behind her, pulling her hand away so as not to interfere with her performance.

"Dad, what do you think we should do about this?"

Su Lingwu crossed her arms and looked at her father, Su Wu.

Su Wu's head was about to explode; he couldn't even have a peaceful breakfast.

Why was he so blinded by greed to insist on having a son?

孽孽!

The son-in-law is still here today, and he hasn't even shown his face yet.

"Rinkawa, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"Dad, we're all family, what's there to laugh about? It's good this way, it's better to say what you mean than to keep it bottled up inside."

Fu Linchuan's family background is completely opposite to that of the Su family; both are intellectuals and are more adept at using passive-aggressive tactics.

In my memory, when there were conflicts at home, it was always unusually quiet.

He had never seen Su Lingwu argue so directly before; her little mouth was like a machine gun, launching a barrage of attacks.

"Since Xiao Wu'er is unwilling, then..."

"Fine, I won't do it anymore. I'm going to Gu's house right now."

Before Su Wu could finish speaking, Su Lingtang ran away with tears in her eyes.

"Xiaotang!"

Su Lingwu rolled her eyes. That's the kind of thing she always does. Anyway, she's not going to compromise.

She didn't want to see a group of people she didn't want to see on her joyous occasion, like the Du family or something similar.

Although Du Bowei was detained, the others were only detained for three days before being released after being educated.

I heard that they've been trying to get Du Bowei's sentence reduced by asking around.

When Su Lingtang gets married, the Du family will definitely send someone.

Giving in to her own grievances is not something Su Lingwu would do.

"Alright, you two enjoy your meal. I'm going to work now."

Su Wu quickly tidied up, grabbed his tools, and went to work.

Only Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan remained in the room.

Why are you looking at me?

Su Lingwu knew Fu Linchuan was watching her, so she rolled her eyes, picked up the fried dough stick and continued eating. She wasn't full yet, and she was already hungry.

Then he picked up the soy milk and took a big gulp.

It's so sweet.

He took two more sips before putting it down.

A drop of soy milk that had spilled from the rim of the bowl clung to the corner of his mouth, completely unnoticed.

"You saw it yourself, I'm not a good person. I have a bad temper and I love money. If you regret it, it's not too late, before we..."

His hot, calloused thumb slowly brushed across his lips, and as if it wasn't clean enough, it slid back and forth a couple more times.

"You...you you."

What are you doing?!

Su Lingwu felt like she was being flirted with, but she had no proof.

Does he even know what he's doing?

Soy milk.

"oh!"
