After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 7 War begins

Hua family.

A slightly old, yet still luxurious villa.

Hua Meimei got out of the car, dressed entirely in black. She had deliberately styled her hair in a slicked-back look, and with sunglasses on, she looked like a female boss.

Wearing sky-high heels, he strode aggressively into the Hua family's house.

Lin Cuilan sat in the living room, always dressed like a wealthy woman. She was adorned with jewels and her nails were painted brightly.

Back then, this mistress rose to power through her beauty and her mastery of seduction.

She seduced Hua Meimei's father, Hua Wenxia, ​​while Hua Meimei's mother was pregnant.

This led to the mother's depression and poor health during pregnancy, resulting in her death during childbirth.

"Hua Meimei?" Lin Cuilan was clearly stunned when she saw Hua Meimei dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

Although Hua Meimei occasionally wears black clothes, black pants, and a black coat, she never wears them all at once.

He looked pretty cool in all black in this episode.

"Why are you dressed like this?" Lin Cuilan pointed at her fiercely, "Are you here for a funeral?!"

Hua Meimei walked up to Lin Cuilan, slightly removed half of her sunglasses to look at her, and then curled her lips into a wicked smile.

Lin Cuilan had never seen Hua Meimei look like this before, and goosebumps rose on her skin. "What are you laughing at?"

"Lin San, do you think it would look good if I wore this to your funeral on the day you die?" Hua Meimei grinned, a smile that instantly enraged Lin Cuilan.

Hua Meimei, who has always been meek and obedient in front of her, actually dared to be disrespectful to her today?

"What did you call me? Flower Berry, I think I haven't hit you enough lately!" Lin Cuilan raised her hand to give her a big slap.

She had anticipated Lin Cuilan's move and instinctively raised her hand to grab Lin Cuilan's arm.

"You bitch, didn't you get enough of hitting me before? You want to hit me every time you see me? Do you think I'm a punching bag?" She grabbed Lin Cuilan's arm and shoved her back hard.

Lin Cuilan staggered backward and fell onto the sofa, her face full of shock.

"How dare you insult me ​​and even fight back?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? Am I supposed to just stand there like an idiot and let you beat and scold me?" She stepped on Lin Cuilan's right foot with one foot and used her sharp heel to ruthlessly trample on Lin Cuilan's foot.

The more resentment and fear the original owner had accumulated in her heart, the harder she stomped on Lin Cuilan's feet now, wishing she could pierce them through.

"Ah—" Lin Cuilan screamed in pain.

"Please forgive me. Please let me off the hook." Her face was etched with the pride of a victor.

Hua Wenxia is not home.

Otherwise, Lin Cuilan wouldn't have revealed her true colors and dared to be so fierce to her as soon as she entered the room.

This Lin Xiaosan has always been accustomed to hiding her true nature as a vicious witch, presenting herself as a gentle and kind stepmother in front of others.

Lin Cuilan has bullied her for twenty years, how could she possibly admit defeat so easily?

Lin Cuilan pushed her hard and threw things at her from the side, but she blocked them all with her bag.

Once she felt she had stepped on enough, she lifted her foot, leaving a deep heel mark on Lin Cuilan's fair and delicate foot.

"Hua Meimei, you've got some nerve! How dare you treat me like this? You're asking for it!" Lin Cuilan roared like an angry lioness.

Hua Meimei sneered, completely ignoring Lin Cuilan's roar.

She slowly removed her sunglasses, her eyes filled with coldness and determination: "Lin Cuilan, do you think I'll let you bully me like before? The past is dead. From today onwards, I will take back what you owe me and my mother, bit by bit."

Lin Cuilan struggled to get up from the sofa, her face contorted with anger, ruining her otherwise exquisite makeup: "You think you can succeed? I'm still the one who calls the shots in this house, and Hua Wenxia won't believe your nonsense!"

"Is that so?" Hua Meimei paced back and forth. "Then we'll see. I'll show him your true colors and let him know how you destroyed this family step by step."

At this moment, Aunt Zhang, the Hua family's nanny, came over after hearing the commotion in the backyard. Seeing the tense scene before her, she looked alarmed: "Miss, Madam, what's going on? Let's talk this out."

Hua Meimei glanced at Aunt Zhang and said calmly, "Aunt Zhang, this is a grudge between her and me. You'd better not interfere."

Aunt Zhang hesitated, then stood helplessly to the side. She knew all too well that Hua Meimei had been bullied by her stepmother since childhood, but in order to keep her high-paying job as a nanny, she never dared to say anything out of line in front of Hua Wenxia.

Taking advantage of Hua Meimei's distraction, Lin Cuilan suddenly rushed towards the door, seemingly wanting to call for someone or find something to rely on.

Hua Meimei knew exactly what she was up to. She rushed over, grabbed Lin Cuilan's hair, and pulled her back forcefully.

"Trying to run? Not so easy," Hua Meimei said through gritted teeth.

Lin Cuilan's eyes welled up with tears from the pain, but she still stubbornly said, "You're crazy, you'll regret this!"

Hua Meimei tightened her grip even more: "Regret? I only regret not resisting sooner. Today is just the beginning. From now on, I will make you feel like you're sitting on pins and needles in this house."

Just as the two were at an impasse, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door; Hua Wenxia had returned.

Lin Cuilan felt like she had seen a savior and immediately shouted, "Wenxia, ​​save me! Hua Meimei has gone mad, she's going to kill me!"

Hua Meimei calmly took off her high heels and threw them at Lin Cuilan.

Then, she raised her hands and scratched her head haphazardly, then rushed over and grabbed Lin Cuilan's hand, smearing her lipstick. Then, she let Lin Cuilan's palm smear a line on her left cheek.

Every movement was fluid and precise, a race against time. Lin Cuilan had no time to resist, watching her do all this with bewilderment, not knowing what she was trying to do.

"Ah..." Hua Meimei suddenly sat on the ground, looked up, and burst into tears, wailing and crying.

The master of the house returned, and Aunt Zhang quietly retreated to the side to watch the play. The young lady today was truly different from usual; it was best not to meddle too much.

As soon as Hua Wenxia entered the courtyard, she heard Hua Meimei's cries, which were incredibly heart-wrenching.

He had never heard his daughter cry like that before.

Rushing in, she saw Hua Meimei sitting on the ground, with Lin Cuilan standing beside her.

Hua Meimei had a red handprint on her face and her hair was messy, clearly indicating that she had just been beaten.

"What's going on? What are you two making a fuss about so early in the morning?" Hua Wenxia's first thought was that Lin Cuilan had hit Hua Meimei.

But something felt off. Hadn't Lin Cuilan always treated Hua Meimei like her own daughter, never wanting to scold or beat her?

When Lin Cuilan saw her husband return, she immediately transformed into a soft, cuddly little rabbit and pounced on him, tears falling at just the right moment as she sobbed.

"Honey, Meimei today..." Lin Cuilan was about to start complaining when Hua Meimei beat her to it.

"Dad, I came home dressed in all black today, and Aunt Lan disapproved and started hitting and scolding me, saying I looked like I was going to a funeral. She rushed over, wiped off my lipstick, slapped me, and pulled my hair. She ordered me to change out of the black clothes, but I refused, so she went crazy, pulled my shoes off my feet, and started stabbing herself. Look at her feet—"

Hua Meimei cried and tears kept falling; she felt so wronged.

Lin Cuilan's expression immediately became conflicted; she was caught between crying and not crying, completely dumbfounded.

Aunt Zhang, who was hiding a little distance away, thought to herself, "Miss has become more capable. She no longer has to be bullied by the Madam."

Hua Wenxia looked at his wife's foot and saw that there really was a mark, red and swollen. The high heels were scattered around Lin Cuilan's feet, and Lin Cuilan quickly kicked Hua Meimei's shoes away.

"That's not true, honey. She stepped on my foot and hurt me. Look at how badly her foot is hurt, how could I do that to myself?"

Hua Meimei scoffed inwardly; Lin Cuilan was about to begin her tea ceremony performance.

Hua Wenxia looked at his wife, then at his daughter. Both women had their own arguments, and he didn't know how to judge.

Emotionally, he was more inclined to believe his wife. But he had never seen Hua Meimei speak ill of Lin Cuilan like this before, and he hesitated.

"Sister Zhang, what exactly happened?" Hua Wenxia asked Aunt Zhang, the only witness present at the scene.
