Chapter 246: Forcing a mother's bottom line
Nana recalled the time when she had signed on the marriage registration papers.
The day she became Mrs. Liu Nana.
And now was the day where she was on the brink of losing that name.
Qian Mei sneered. “What happened? Here, take this pen and sign on them quickly. Don’t waste any more time.”
Nana looked at her as if she was an idiot and laughed. Qian Mei was stunned.
‘How can she laugh in such a situation? She is going to divorce the first young master.’
“What is so funny?” She couldn’t help but ask.
Nana said, “I’m laughing at your foolishness.”
Qian Mei’s face contorted in anger. “What?”
“Of course. I cannot believe that there can be any other woman who can be as stupid as you.”
She screamed. “Mind your tongue, Nana!”
“It’s you who should be minding your limits. Do you seriously think that you can take my place if I signed on these papers?”
Qian Mei felt a bit uneasy.
Nana smiled. “I already know what your master is bribing you with. It is the title of Liu Jinhai’s wife and the status as the Lady Liu, isn’t it?”
There was no need to hide anything now, so she admitted the truth.
“Yes, you are correct.”
Nana shook her head. “I had seen you looking at MY Jinhai with a starry gaze. You would blush if he is nearby, and many times you found an excuse to tend to his work just so that you make him notice you. That’s when I realized what you want and what your master must have promised you with.”
Qian Mei was about to say something, but Nana didn’t let her.
“That is why it didn’t affect you when I promised to give you double the amount because you thought that the whole Liu family fortune would be yours once you marry him. So why would my attempt to give you money mean anything?”
She gritted her teeth. “Shut up, bitch! What is MY Jinhai? Now he won’t be yours after a few minutes? So, you better come out of your fairyland.”
“I think you are the one who needs to come out of your delusions.” Nana looked at her in amusement. “Do you think that Jinhai would even spare a glance at you? You are just a maid. Do you understand the difference between him and you?”
Nana never differentiated between any work backgrounds, but she had repeatedly crossed her limits.
“How many years are you working in the Liu villa for? If he had to fall in love with you, it would already have been a done deal. Your little tricks in seducing him won’t work. You will never be Mrs. Liu.”
She snickered. “You are scared now, aren’t you?”
Nana shrugged. “What do I need to be scared of? You? Or, for that matter, any other woman? You can remove me from the villa, but you cannot remove me from his heart. You can look for yourself. You tried to make him misunderstand the relationship between Jianyu and me so many times. But what happened? Does he still hate me?”
Qian Mei gritted her teeth.
Nana folded her arms on her chest. “And this master of yours. She claims that she will help you in getting Jinhai. But how? Did you ever ask her?”
She stiffened.
“You are just a tool for her, which she will dispose of when she would be done with her revenge. Did she ever tell you how she will make your way into the Liu villa as the daughter-in-law? Does she have any plans? Or do you just blindly follow her?”
Nana saw her gaze shrouded in doubt. There were questions in her expression.
“Do you think it’s so easy?” Nana tried to instill doubts in her.
Qian Mei was slowly losing her confidence because she understood why Nana was so confident. She was pregnant too. The child in her belly was still a means to connect them.
She looked at her belly in hatred. A sense of anger washed over her.
So lucky to have Liu Jinhai’s child…
Then a thought struck her.
But what if…the child is no more? Not only will they be divorced, but the last thing connecting them will be cut off too.
Huo Xiao Fan’s voice came again. “Qian Mei, ignore her. I have my ways; trust me. Just make her sign the papers.”
‘This Nana is smart. Trying to incite Mei against me.’
But the thought of killing the child already took root in her mind. She was convinced that for her happy life with Jinhai, she had to end the life growing inside Nana, or he will be always tied to her through their child.
She smirked.
What if she loses this baby? Once I marry Liu Jinhai, I will give him lots of them.
“Master, I think to uproot her from the first young master’s life fully, we should kill her baby too.”
Nana froze. Her body trembled in anger as she looked at her in disbelief.
“What did you say?” Nana growled. She instantly turned protective of her belly. There was a storm raging in her eyes.
“You dare even touch me, and you will regret it.”
Huo Xiao Fan said, “Nonsense Qian Mei! I know what I am doing. You don’t need to teach me what I should be doing and what I should not. I only want her to sign the papers and disappear from Liu Jinhai’s life. And that is what you have to do.”
“No, master.” She was adamant. “What if she uses the child to get back with him? That child will always be a threat to my happy life with him. I can’t take the risk.”
Nana stepped forward and slapped hard on her cheek.
Qian Mei felt her cheek burning in pain.
“I will not tolerate any threat to my child. Don’t test a mother’s bottom line.” Her aura turned frigid cold.
Huo Xiao Fan gritted her teeth.
‘What is that fool doing!?’
“Enough! Qian Mei, if you cannot follow my orders, then get out!”
Qian Mei roared. “How dare you slap me, you sl*t!” She charged towards Nana to push her, but she quickly stepped aside.
Qian Mei hit the air and fell flat on her face. Her nose was struck and turned red as blood started trickling from her nostrils. With her cheek and now her nose hurting like hell, her face was in pain all over.
“Qian Mei!” Huo Xiao Fan panicked with the sudden twist. She was only watching them through the monitor but wasn’t physically present in the warehouse.
“Damn it!”
She took her phone and relayed orders to her men watching over the twins. “Stop Qian Mei and drag her out!”
Two of the men immediately headed over but found the door to be locked from inside.
“Master, it is locked from the inside.”
“Then what are you standing for? Break in!”
Nana was getting a little scared now. Qian Mei can run around, but she cannot run or move recklessly. If she trips or falls, then it would be a nightmare for her.
Qian Mei got up, covering her badly hurt nose. Now, she had turned completely psycho. “Nana!!!”
“Qian Mei, snap out! If you do anything unnecessary, then I won’t help you anymore!”
But she was not listening.
As much as possible, Nana tried to run away from her carefully. She picked up whatever things she could find and threw at her.
Nana shouted. “I said, stop! Do you think Jinhai will ever forgive you knowing that you harmed my child?”
Qian Mei laughed. “Nobody will tell him. And it’s better to kill you too along with this child. Dead men tell no tales.”
Nana stepped farther and farther in the back. “And you think Jinhai cannot find that? Do you know who he is? He is also the part of the underworld.”
Qian Mei stopped for a moment. But she snapped out of it.
Nana continued. “Do you think you can hide anything from him?” Her heart was racing in fear. There was a dead end at the back, and not much distance was left. “Even your master has abandoned you. Nobody will save you from Jinhai’s wrath if he sees me dead. You cannot even imagine your end. He has told me how he brutally tortures the enemies.”
“Shut up! No matter what you say, you are dead today! I should have killed you sooner instead of with this crap of merely separating you from him!”
Nana was getting scared now. Her back bumped to the wall, and she had nowhere to run.
“Hahaha. Now, where will you go?”
Outside, the men were trying to break the door, but it was jammed shut.
Huo Xiao Fan said, “Qian Mei, stop right now!”
Nana secretly scanned the area with her hands to find something useful to protect her. Then she touched something glassy.
She saw, and it was a broken piece of glass lying around.
“Die Nana!”
Qian Mei once again charged at her. The adrenaline was in full swing. With anger and fear both mixed in, Nana grabbed the piece.
Qian Mei dashed and grabbed her arm, but Nana swung her hand and slashed Qian Mei at her neck.
