Li Yaxian coldly replied, "What business is it of my whether or not I am suitable to stay in the prison living quarters?"

"What do you mean by that? Didn't you agree to adopt the child?"

Li Yaxian gave a mocking smile, "I did say that, but that was something I promised you yesterday. Now things have changed, and I can't support your son."

Qiao Xiyan didn't believe this explanation and jumped up from her chair. Her original plan was to persuade this brainless woman.

She helped raise her child, which was why she wanted to annoy Gu Sinian and Su Ying. She knew that Su Ying's son had been adopted by his biological mother, and her expression must have been quite interesting.

"You promised to adopt my son, why are you going back on your word now? Didn't you promise me?"

Speaking of this, Li Yaxian became very angry, "Isn't this all thanks to you? You were plotting against me from the very beginning. Did you set me up for Li Xiong's affair?"

Qiao Xiyan frowned. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Is it alright? I'm about to be investigated, and I believe I'll be sent to the countryside for reform soon. If you don't mind, I'll take the child with me to the countryside."

That's absolutely unacceptable. How can you take your child to the countryside? The conditions there are so poor. It's questionable whether her son will even be able to make it there.

"No. You can't. The child can't go with you."

"You wretched woman, you've ruined my life. I finally made it back from those mountains and got a decent job. I was living a good life."

"And you... were actually jealous of me, and turned me into this inhuman, ghostly state."

As she spoke, Li Yaxian grew increasingly angry, and suddenly went berserk, grabbing Qiao Xiyan by the neck as if she wanted to take her down with her.
