Wen Tang brushed off her hand, "I think, a truly formidable woman should be able to keep her man in check."
"Instead of taking her anger out on the women around him."
"Is it incompetence or cowardice?" she looked at Lu Nianxin, her tone much firmer, "Or is it both?"
Lu Nianxin's face changed, her temper flaring, "Watch it, or I'll get Pei Heyan to fire you."
The threats had become so common to Wen Tang that they barely registered anymore, like everyday normalities.
Seeing that her threat had no effect, Lu Nianxin composed herself and cleared her throat before saying, "Still, that's better than being a cripple."
"Soon, I will be Mrs. Pei of the Pei Family, and I'll have every right to demand you keep your distance from Pei Heyan. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy!"
With those words, Lu Nianxin left with her head held high.
Wen Tang withdrew her gaze and glanced at the time on her wrist.
