The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 608

"What else do you want other than water?"

Madam Ye was stunned by Mango's words. She then said, "How would I know what I want? I'll tell you when I think of it. As the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, you have to be at my service every time I call you since you don't even work or earn any money. Do you really think you can live like a princess?"

Her tone of voice was getting harsher by the second.

Mango couldn't be bothered to respond to her. She turned to the servants beside her and said, "Serve Madam Ye a glass of water."

She turned around and left after saying that, not paying any attention to Madam Ye.

She could tell that Madam Ye wouldn't stop, and she would even use Mango as a target to humiliate the Hans family if she continued to stay there.

It was not that she wanted to help the Hans family with anything, she just felt that it was not necessary for her to stand here and be humiliated.

When Madam Ye saw how arrogant Mango was, she was so angry that she immediately picked up the cup next to Madam Hans and threw it at Mango.

"You uncultured swine! How dare you ask a servant to get a cup of water for me when I asked you to do it? Why else did you marry into the Ye family?"

Inside the cup was the hot tea that Mango had poured for Madam Hans just now.

Mango would never have thought that Madam Ye would be so deranged right now. The teacup and the hot tea had landed directly on her back before she noticed.

"Mango!"

Madam Hans shouted suddenly.

Mango felt a burning pain in her back.

"Madam. Ye, what are you doing? How can you blame Mango for what Mateo did? Does Nathaniel know what you are doing now?"

Although Terrance could not move, his facial expression changed.

Madam Hans walked up to Mango shakily and asked with heartache, "How is it? Does it hurt? Let's go, I will take you to a doctor."

As she spoke, she extended her hand and grabbed Mango's own.

Her hand was a little weak.

Mango remembered that Madam Hans' hands were strong in the past. It seemed that the unforeseen event had put her through quite a bit of suffering.

After a moment of absent-mindedness, she pulled her hand away and said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Madam Hans."

Madam Hans' tears once again welled up in her eyes when she heard how Mango addressed her.

She couldn't blame anyone else as this was a result of what she did.

Meanwhile, Mango's back was burning with pain. She didn't even bother to look at Madam Hans. She turned her head to look at Madam Ye and asked, "Was that fun?"

"Yes! It was very entertaining. What's the matter? Are you going to hit me?"

Madam Ye was fearless.

For the first time, Mango felt that Madam Ye was a very difficult woman to deal with.

She smiled and said, "I won't hit you, but you'd better think about the consequences before doing anything. You hurt my back, but Nathan comes home and sleeps in the same bed as I do. I wonder if he'll ask me what happened to my back? Will I tell him what happened? You care so much about Nathan's attitude towards you and fear that he would abandon you, but you have forgotten that a wife can change a man."

"You're shameless! You're a b*stard!"

Madam Ye was so angry that she picked up another item and threw it at Mango.

However, Mango managed to avoid it this time. Looking at Madam Ye's flustered and exasperated expression, she said coldly, "I'm shameless and a b*stard, but I learned it all from you, Mother. You're the one who taught me this. Don't worry, I will definitely prevent anyone from applying medicine to my wounds. I'll wait for Nathan to come back and show him how well his mother treats her daughter-in-law."

"How dare you!"

Madam Ye was panicking now.

She had always thought of Mango as someone weak and easy to bully. She had not said a single word despite being bullied in the Ye family during the first 3 years. What was up with her now?

She actually wanted to complain to Nathaniel?

As if she could read Madam Ye's mind, Mango said faintly, "Everyone changes. I can't always be bullied, can I? I was all by myself eight years ago, so I didn't care how people treated me, but now that I'm the mother of two children, I have to protect my family. Do you think I'll endure and swallow everything in peace? Do you think I'll treat you like my own mother after you treated me like this? Madam Ye, you're actually a beautiful woman, but you're living in a fantasy."

Upon finishing her words, Mango turned around and left.

She felt her back burning with pain with every step she took.

Madam Hans knew that Mango was not doing well in the Ye family due to Mateo when she saw how Madam Ye interacted with Mango.

She tried to stop Mango, and she said, "I know that you're not willing to forgive me, and I know that I've done a lot of wrong things in the past. Hence, I understand that you're not willing to acknowledge me now. However, I'm already in my waning years and I don't care about all of this. I just hope for you to be happy."

"I'm doing very well. Thank you."

Mango smiled faintly, but it didn't reach her eyes.

Madam Hans regretted it immensely, but it was too late.

It wasn't easy to heal a broken heart.

She said in a low voice, "I know you don't like the Hans family, but I still have to say that our door will always be open for you if you can't stay with the Ye Family anymore. Don't swallow your anger and be blamed for a sin that doesn't belong to you."

"I won't."

Mango said firmly, "I won't leave the Ye Family because that's my choice. Why should I leave if I have my children and my husband here? I won't suffer, because my children will suffer too. Why would I do that? I've been doing great without the help of the Hans family for over 20 years now, so you don't have to worry about me. If you came today because you were afraid that I would suffer here, never fear because I know how to protect myself. I still have my husband even if I can't manage to protect myself. Therefore, I don't need you to worry about me. Now, please leave."

Mango turned around and returned to her room without any hesitation after she finished her words.

Madam Ye was still cursing below, but Mango didn't want to listen to her anymore.

She was really in a bit of a dilemma.

Madam Ye was Nathaniel's mother. Although she was not his biological mother, she had indeed given a lot of care to him over the years. Hence, Nathaniel cared about her deeply as well.

"Who did this?"

She suddenly remembered how arrogant Madam Ye was just now. She couldn't help but ask, "Did Madam Ye do this? How is that possible?"

"Don't ask questions and just help me quickly. Go to the first aid kit and help me apply some medicine."

Mango's words confirmed Sisi's guess.

She took off Mango's clothes carefully. Nevertheless, Mango's body twitched from the pain.

She felt that she had suffered a lot this year. Her arm had not recovered yet, and now her back was injured. It was time for her to head to a church and pray her misfortune away.

Sisi rifled through the first aid kit and carefully applied the medicine to Mango's wounds.

Only then did Mango let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Sisi, you should stay here with me if you have nothing to do. I don't have anyone I can trust here."

Mango's words made a lump form in Sisi's throat.

"Alright."

"What's the matter over at the villa?"

"No, it's just that your parents came over a few times, and they wanted to see if you were there. I used the excuse that you were helping Mr. Ye at the company to fool them. Other than that, all is well."

Sisi tidied up the room for Mango as she spoke.

Mango leaned against the bed as she watched Sisi rush in and out of the room. After that, Mango sincerely expressed her thanks.

"No need for thanks, Mrs. Ye. That's the least I can do."

Sisi humbly replied. Only then did she realize that Mango had fallen asleep.

Her face was filled with exhaustion.

Sisi gently pulled the blanket over Mango and took the trash out. However, as soon as she walked out of the door, she saw Madam Ye standing there and staring at her with a gloomy expression.

"Madam Ye, please step aside."

Sisi did not like her, and her tone was harsh.

"Who the hell are you! How dare you talk to me like that! This is my home, and you barged in without my permission. I swear I'll have the police arrest you!"

"Of course you can do that. If you can hurt Mrs. Ye like that, a servant like me isn't worth mentioning. However, Madam Ye, God sees everything that you do. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Sisi's words had triggered Madam Ye.

"Somebody come and take her to the police station. Tell them that she stole my things!"
