Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1285 - 1203: Severing Ties

"I don’t believe it, Brother Xingsheng, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe you’d just watch me die, Brother Xingsheng..." Cui Shuicao wailed loudly, then abruptly hurled herself toward Meng Xingsheng. Midway through, she clenched her teeth and tore open the buttons of her blouse.

Meng Xingsheng stood frozen, utterly baffled by whatever stunt Cui Shuicao was attempting.

As Cui Shuicao neared Meng Xingsheng, ready to crash into him while he remained unresponsive, Meng Xingwang’s wife Niu Weizhen burst from the main room. Her eyes narrowed sharply,

and she charged at Cui Shuicao with the quickest speed she’d ever mustered. In the next instant, she slammed Cui Shuicao to the ground, raking and clawing at her while unleashing a barrage of curses:

"You bitch! In broad daylight you wanna use this cheap filthy trick to harm my second brother-in-law, force him to marry you, you poisonous shrew. I’ll beat you to death, you shameless stinking thing. You think everyone in my family is dead or what?!"

Cui Shuicao screamed in agony beneath Niu Weizhen’s relentless blows.

"Are you stupid or what?" Wang Guilan rushed out and began slapping Meng Xingsheng. "Didn’t you see that poisonous bitch scheming against you, or did a donkey kick your brains out?"

Meng Xingsheng at last regained his wits, his face twisting into a hideous scowl, while simultaneously feeling immense gratitude toward his sister-in-law Niu Weizhen.

Without her intervention to shove Cui Shuicao aside, a mere accusation of "he molested me" would have trapped him into marrying her.

The very idea left Meng Xingsheng feeling as if he’d gulped down a fly.

"Eldest brother’s wife, that’s enough, stop hitting her. You go look after the kids, I’ll drag this poisonous shrew back to her house so everyone can see what kind of thing she really is!"

While Wang Guilan issued these words, she hauled Cui Shuicao up from the dirt. Brushing off her frantic resistance, she pulled her beyond the gate and straight to the Cui Family home.

A sizable crowd had gathered to spectate the drama. Cui Shuicao’s expression turned vacant; she understood that starting today, the village rumors about her would escalate, and her name would reek even worse.

...

Upon returning from the Cui Family, Wang Guilan entered the main room and immediately fixed a venomous glare on Meng Xingsheng. She dropped heavily onto a nearby stool, her countenance grim, and declared:

"Third brother, I’m spelling it out for you today. If you dare keep falling into that poisonous shrew from the Cui Family’s hands, don’t blame me for kicking you out and cutting you off for good as my son!

These past years our days only got better because your Luo Family big brother pulled us up back then. If you’re hell‑bent on ruining this family, then hurry up and get the hell out!"

"I won’t. I’ll never have anything to do with her again. Even if I stay a bachelor my whole life, I won’t have any ties to her!"

Meng Xingsheng declared this with utmost gravity. Upon hearing him, Wang Guilan replied, "Then use your damn head and stay sharp. Don’t you let that piece of trash latch onto you with some filthy trick, or I swear I’ll let the cops drag your ass away!"

"Pah! Screw your ’misunderstanding.’ A vicious, shameless woman like you, my third son can’t afford you. Hurry up and crawl back to your own house. Your old man and your brothers are probably still waiting for you to cook and stuff food into their mouths!"

Cui Shuicao’s mother was arrested years ago and remains behind bars, her sentence unfinished. After all, she actively joined her brothers’ plot to traffic women and children.

Back then, she received fifteen years of reform through labor.

To reclaim her freedom, she’ll simply have to serve out the full term in decay.

"Auntie, just take it as me begging you, will you?" Cui Shuicao inwardly loathed Wang Guilan to the extreme. If possible, she’d throttle Wang Guilan right there, removing any obstacle to wedding Meng Xingsheng.

Several months had elapsed since her return to the village. Without bothering to inquire, merely from Mr. Cui’s words, she discovered the Meng Family’s recent prosperity. They now had a factory worker, two army officers, and a university student, surpassing nearly every other household in the village.

Thus, Cui Shuicao secretly vowed to reunite with Meng Xingsheng no matter the cost. But he refused even conversation—spotting her from a distance, he’d swiftly turn and flee, as if she were a foul pest whose mere contact would soil him.

It was enough to drive anyone to fury-induced death!

Since Cui Shuicao remained kneeling and refused to stand, Wang Guilan snatched the broom leaning against the wall and marched forward. "You shameless, vicious wretch, my third son would rather stay single forever than wed a poisonous shrew like you! Are you leaving or not? If not, don't fault me for sweeping you straight out with this broom!"

"Auntie, I’ll kowtow to you!"

Cui Shuicao thumped her forehead against the floor three times, each thud resounding loudly, while sobbing, "Without being with Brother Xingsheng, my father will heed Jiabao and force me to marry Lame Wang from the next brigade over. Auntie, I beg you, show some mercy..."

"Who are you keening for like I'm dead? I'm fit as ever..." Saliva sprayed from Wang Guilan's lips as she hoisted the broom, ready to smash it down onto Cui Shuicao.

Right at that instant, Meng Xingsheng's voice rang out from the main room: "Ma, go eat. I’ll deal with her."

Having talked Wang Guilan back into the main room and hung the broom up again, Meng Xingsheng stared at Cui Shuicao with an emotionless expression. "Leave. We're divorced ages ago. If you value any dignity left, quit showing up here and quit stirring trouble at my doorstep."

"Brother Xingsheng... will you truly stand by while I wed Lame Wang?"

Cui Shuicao wept uncontrollably, her words barely forming. Her face twisted in anguish as she locked eyes with Meng Xingsheng's impassive stare. "My dad drives me toward death! Brother Xingsheng, refuse me and the next sight of me will be my dead body for sure!"

"If living wearies you and death calls, that's on you. It concerns me not at all."

Meng Xingsheng's tone stayed completely devoid of feeling.

In retrospect, this woman had manipulated him terribly—first making him sever family ties, then scheming to kidnap his nephew and niece for profit.

One false move begat endless troubles, all sparked by Cui Shuicao's seductive words and prodding, culminating in... his dispatch to labor reform for years on end.

His brothers, bolstered by aid from the Luo Family's eldest brother, had all risen successfully. Him alone... him alone, ruined by a woman, now fodder for the village's evening chatter.

A sizable audience relished the spectacle. Cui Shuicao's features turned vacant; she understood that starting today, whispers about her would sharpen, her repute fouling further.

…

Upon returning from the Cui Family, Wang Guilan no sooner entered the main room than she leveled a fierce scowl at Meng Xingsheng. She dropped heavily onto a close stool, visage stormy, and declared:

"Third son, I'm laying it plain today. Dare tangle again with that venomous harpy from the Cui Family, and don't hold it against me for disowning and booting you out for keeps!Our lives improved these years solely because your Luo Family big brother lifted us up back then. Bent on wrecking this home? Then scram fast!"

"I won’t. I’ll cut all links with her forever. Even lifelong bachelorhood beats any connection to her!"

Meng Xingsheng stated it gravely. At these words, Wang Guilan replied, "Then keep your wits about you and stay vigilant. Let that scum snare you with some dirty ploy, and I vow the police will haul you off!"

Once dinner ended, talk shifted to the family's deadweight—the loathsome waste he himself scorned.
