Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars-Chapter 682: We are here to cause trouble
" Just look at this place," Madam Chu looked at the big mansion in front of her and gritted her teeth. " She really has been living really well ever since leaving the Su house, if I knew that she was this useful then I would have forced her to give all those unique recipes to us before throwing her out. Just look at how well off she is now!"
Madam Chu has always hated Shen Shui, the woman had nothing but her filthy money and yet she always looked down at her as if she was beneath her. The elegance and the arrogance that ran deeper than blood in the veins of Shen Shui was something that always scared Madam Chu, she was worried that one day Shen Shui with her money and beauty would snatch Su Bai away but fortunately, her husband was loyal to her and despite marrying Shen Shui, he only had her in his heart. But that didn't mean that Shen Shui wasn't a thorn into Madam Chu's heart she really hated that woman with her very existence that was why she took all her anger out on Su Wan, she wanted to keep that girl as downtrodden as possible but who would have thought that she will actually start living this well the second she left the house.
How can she not be angry? Madam Chu was so furious that she felt snakes coiling around her heart making her very uncomfortable.
" Don't worry mother," Su Yu Cheng brushed the dirt off his robe and patted his pocket where he had kept the letter, he smiled at her placatingly and said, " Once we put our cards on the table that bitch will have no chance but to follow our will, if she doesn't then we will ask father to go and sue her right away, I will see how she will be able to keep her calm in front of the magistrate."
" You are right," Madam Chu tucked the lock of her hair behind just as the huge doors of the Lin mansion opened. "We will get her to spit everything out that she has taken from us."
The maid of course heard what Madam Chu said but she lowered her eyes and said nothing—— so these two dimwits were here to find trouble with Madam Su? Heh, they don't seem to have any idea what they were getting themselves into.
With a light snort, the maid stepped aside and said, " Please come in, Madam Su will be seeing you two now."
Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng exchanged a glance with each other before Madam Chu loudly sighed. " Really the world is simply going into ruins, I, the mother of the lady of this house came to see her after so long but instead of coming to see me, she sent a maid. Really, I don't know what I should do with this daughter of mine."
Her words weren't light nor were spoken in a soft voice, as soon as Madam Chu opened her mouth, the pedestrians all turned to look at the middle-aged woman and her son. The neighbours of course knew that a new family moved in a few days ago and they were thinking about greeting them in a few days but after listening to Madam Chu's explosive words, they all started to have other thoughts, maybe it was better for them to just ignore this family from now on, they couldn't let their kids be influenced by such an unfilial woman.
" Don't worry mother, so what if sister didn't come to see us?" Su Yu Cheng has already come up with a very excellent plan to make Su Wan submit to them and hand in the deeds of the restaurant along with the other shops. He knew that as long as he threatened that girl properly, she will have no choice but to hand over everything including those new recipes that she came up with! If he got his hands on them then he will surely live like a little lord just thinking about it made him feel excited. " Even if she doesn't want to recognise you, it won't change the fact that you are her mother."
Just as they were reaching the climax of their performance making sure that the onlookers were all looking at them with sympathy, a tinkling voice came from inside the Lin mansion. " Mother? As long as I know…my mother was buried the day I was born, who is this mother that you are talking about?"
Madam Chu stiffened as she looked at Su Wan who was walking towards the entrance of the house with a grey cat walking next to her. She had one hand under her swollen belly as she looked at Madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng with a smile. The two of them noticed the glint in Su Wan's eyes and narrowed their gaze at her, from that sly glint in those eyes they were sure that Su Wan had something planned, sure enough, she came to a stop at the top of the stairs and looked at the two of them with an apologetic smile. "It's you Madam Chu, when I heard that someone came to my house claiming that they were my mother I thought that they were pulling my leg, after all my biological mother died a few weeks after I was born and you never allowed me to call you mother when I was living at your house… I have to say that I am really happy that you are willing to accept me as your daughter now, I thought that I would always be hated by my family, but now that you are here, I think I can rest assured."
While she was saying this, she even summoned a few tears to make her acting look real.
With a sniff, she turned her head to look at madam Chu and Su Yu Cheng with an apologetic expression as she said, " I am sorry, Madam Chu … as you can see I am pregnant and can't walk any faster than this. I will apologise for letting the two of you stand outside, please forgive me."
Madam Chu: "….."
Su Yu Cheng: "..."
Your apology is too heavy we can't take it!
