No matter what, she had won this battle!

Wang Meifeng continued, “I can sell the item to you, but you must promise not to stir up any more rumors from now on.”

“Okay okay okay,” Liu Fen quickly nodded in agreement, “I swear!”

Upon returning to the office, Wang Meifeng gave Liu Fen the facial cleanser and aloe vera gel, “By the way, I noticed a few freckles on your face. Would you like to try this freckle-removing cream?”

“Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Meifeng.” Liu Fen was moved to tears.

Seeing Liu Fen like this, everyone in the office thought they were hallucinating.

My goodness, what had turned the sharp-tongued and mean Liu Fen into this?

But this was a good thing. After all, everyone worked together in the same office; if they were always at odds, it would affect their work to some degree.

Sun Mei walked over and discretely gave Wang Meifeng a thumbs up, “Meifeng, you’re amazing! Even the old hag Liu Fen is totally subdued by you!”

Wang Meifeng laughed and said, “It’s all because of the great ‘Ice Skin and Jade Flesh’ effect from the Divine Doctor.”

On her way home after work, Wang Meifeng bumped into an acquaintance.

The acquaintance was none other than Lin Pingping.

“Pingping, are you coming from your aunt’s house?” Wang Meifeng initiated the conversation.

Lin Pingping nodded, “Yeah, I stayed at my aunt’s house last night.”

“Oh.” Wang Meifeng nodded, “Since you’re free, why don’t you come over to my place? You can have dinner at my house and we can have a good chat.”

Lin Pingping laughed and said, “I’ll visit another time; I have some chores to do at home…”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they both turned to leave.

Wang Meifeng had just turned around when it seemed as if she suddenly remembered something. “Pingping, wait!”

“What’s up?”

Wang Meifeng slipped two small boxes into Lin Pingping’s hand, “This is acne removing cream. It’s developed by the Divine Doctor and it’s really effective. Try it when you get home.”

To instill more confidence, Wang Meifeng added, “This is from that same Divine Doctor who cured Xiaodie!”

Lin Pingping looked puzzled, “Can a doctor make skincare products?”

“It’s called medicinal beauty.” Wang Meifeng continued, “It’s really good! You must try it!”

Lin Pingping casually tossed the acne cream into her purse, “Alright then.”

“I’ll take off first. See you.” Wang Meifeng waved goodbye to Lin Pingping.

Lin Pingping, as someone who has been through it all, knew that Wang Meifeng’s smile was genuine. She also knew that Wang Meifeng was leading a happy life.

Unlike her…

Lin Pingping sighed softly and then headed home.

When she reached her apartment, Lin Pingping saw her tidy-in-laws followed by her husband, Hong Bin.

“Dad, Mom, Hong Bin, where are you guys heading?”

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law looked away in disgust, as if they might contaminate their eyes if they looked at Lin Pingping for too long.

Hong Bin also avoided looking directly at his wife’s face. When he spoke, his eyes seemed to wander, “My cousin is having a full moon banquet for her baby, my parents and I are going to join the celebration.”

The full moon banquet is a major event. Lin Pingping immediately said, “Let me get ready and go with you!”

“You’re going?” her mother-in-law, Shen Qing, sneered, “Are you planning to scare everyone with your ugliness? Isn’t it enough how much we’ve already been made fun of? You’re embarrassing us! My poor Binbin is entirely out of luck to have married you.”

These words were truly hurtful!

But hearing them over and over again, Lin Pingping had grown accustomed to it.

She had become numb.

Even her husband, who had once made sincere vows of love to her, was silent and didn’t come to Lin Pingping’s defence at all. He was indifferent, like a stranger.

Before Lin Pingping could say anything, Shen Qing extended her hand towards her, “You went to the Mo family yesterday; did they give you any money again? Hand it over! Everything in this house, from the social interactions to the cooking oil and salt, requires money. Don’t think about stashing it away.”

Lin Pingping’s voice was very calm, “I didn’t take any money from my aunt.” “What? You didn’t?” Upon hearing this, Shen Qing flew into a rage, “You worthless wench! Do you think our home is a bank? They give us money and you refuse to take it! Don’t you understand? Everything you eat and drink belongs to my son! You’re a cheap good-for-nothing who married into our family out of desperation!”

Shen Qing was a classic evil mother-in-law.

Having been ill-treated by her own mother-in-law, when she had finally become a mother-in-law herself, she, of course, wanted to assert her power.

Moreover, Lin Pingping had married into the family of her own volition.

Shen Qing’s sneering immediately attracted the attention of other people in the same building. She had to begrudgingly close her mouth.

It was only then that Hong Bin raised his head to look at Lin Pingping and sighed helplessly, “Don’t blame my mom for her harsh words. She has a point; since the Mo family has money, why should it be an issue if they share some with us? Look at your cousin Baichuan from the Mo family; a watch on his wrist is as expensive as a house. And Mo Qishen, that spendthrift, he’s already 27 and doesn’t have a proper job, completely dependent on his family. What does that tell you? That the Mo family certainly isn’t short of money.”

“Let it go this time, learn to be smarter next time. Whatever they offer, accept it, don’t act modestly…”

Hong Bin said a lot in one breath. As Lin Pingping recalled Wang Meifeng’s smiling face, she felt both frustrated and angry, her heart ached. She didn’t wait for Hong Bin to finish and turned around to walk away!

“This ugly woman! She dared to show us attitude! Does she even respect me as her mother-in-law? Divorce! I want a divorce tomorrow! Let’s see who would want this ugly woman!” Shen Qing jumped up angrily.

Hong Bin said, “Let it go, Mom. Don’t stoop to her level. Let’s head over to my aunt’s place first and deal with her later.”

After Lin Pingping came back, she opened the door to her room and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She had become ugly now, but when she married Hong Bin, she was one of the most beautiful women.

…When exactly did her life take such a downturn?

After a while, Lin Pingping mindlessly tossed her purse on her vanity, creating a clattering sound as something fell out of it.

She turned her head to see. It turned out to be the acne cream Wang Meifeng gave her…
