Last night, Wang Zhuo went to the lobby to play cards with a friend and spent the night there. As soon as it was light, he got up and went downstairs to get breakfast. After getting a single room, it was really uncomfortable to stay in the lobby again. It was really unpleasant.

If the key couldn't open the door, Wang Zhuo knew that someone inside had locked it. He was a little angry, but for the sake of his pride, he could only knock on the door politely from the outside.

He only suffered for a few days, and now he's acting like a king as soon as he gets back. He's already been holed up outside all night, what more does he want? This is just endless!

Unable to get anyone to open the door, Wang Zhuo's patience wore thin. With a dark expression, he kicked the door and yelled, "Are you all fast asleep? Do I have to pick the lock to get back to my own home?"

Startled by the sound of the door being kicked, Li Meng quickly patted the child and said to the outside, "Wait!"

After calming the child down, Li Meng opened the door. Wang Zhuo walked in with a dark face, carrying breakfast and grumbling, "Why can't you live a good life? You have to make people angry. You're really asking for trouble."

Li Meng stood at the door and looked out. When she saw her mother's figure appear at the entrance of the building, she gripped the fruit knife in her hand tightly and stabbed Wang Zhuo fiercely.

Wang Zhuo was originally dressed warmly, but as soon as he entered the house, he took off his thickest coat. Li Meng stabbed at him, and Wang Zhuo was startled, feeling a pain in his abdomen.

Li Meng glared at him fiercely: "You piece of trash, you scumbag who sold your wife, you deserve to be torn to pieces! I'll send you to the Western Paradise right now!"

Wang Zhuo shoved Li Meng aside, clutching his wound and shouting, "What's wrong with you? I didn't sell you out, it was an accident!"

Li Meng lay on the ground, looking at the blood on the tip of the fruit knife, but felt the wound was too shallow and too small. She didn't listen to what Wang Zhuo was saying; she hated this man to the core now.

Li Meng got up again and rushed towards Wang Zhuo. Wang Zhuo was frightened by Li Meng's madness and hurriedly ran towards the door, but Li Meng stabbed him in the back again. Wang Zhuo grimaced in pain.

His anger flared, he stopped running, turned around, grabbed Li Meng by the neck, and slammed her against the wall: "You crazy woman! You want to kill me?!"

While questioning Li Meng, Wang Zhuo slammed her head against the wall. Li Meng still gripped the knife tightly in her hand. Her son, Xiang Xiang, had already started crying. He Ru finally arrived at the door. When she saw the scene inside, she screamed in surprise, dropped her breakfast, and raised her hand to strike Wang Zhuo.

Li Meng swung her knife at Wang Zhuo's hand again. Wang Zhuo cried out in pain and let go. Li Meng also clutched her neck and sat down on the ground in discomfort.

Wang Zhuo was forced to stumble backward by He Ru's blows, and he roared in protest: "Mom, it was Mengmeng, she tried to kill me! She stabbed me first!"

He Ru ignored what he was saying and started hitting Wang Zhuo: "You've been bullying Mengmeng ever since she came back! What are you trying to do? Do you really want to abandon your wife and son and find someone new?!"

People came to watch the commotion at the door. When He Ru saw them, she slammed the door shut and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a couple arguing before!"

He Ru went to help Li Meng: "Mengmeng, let's put the knife down first, okay?"

Li Meng shoved her away and said coldly, "This man sold me to the Qin family. If I hadn't been lucky this time, I would have died out there long ago. Now that I'm in this family, he's not! If you can't bear to part with him, then go and be his mother. We can then sever all ties!"

Wang Zhuo covered a wound with one hand and said to He Ru, "Mom, look, what's wrong with Li Meng? I've already told you I don't know. They've already investigated. Besides receiving an advance of sixty work points, I didn't take anything else. How did I sell her? I just wanted to make this family's life better! Mom, I'm in pain. Can you help me get my wound checked?"

When He Ru heard Li Meng say she wanted to sever ties with her, her heart turned to ice. She had no time to pay attention to Wang Zhuo anymore; her face was filled with shock: "Mengmeng, what nonsense are you talking about! You don't even want your mother anymore!"

Li Meng sneered: "Didn't you want this man? He sold me out without a shred of remorse. I was only missing for a few days, and he already found another woman to move in. As soon as he came back today, he kicked the door open and started cursing and hitting me as soon as he came in."

I'd rather die than live such a pathetic life anymore! I feel disgusted just looking at him. If you can't bear to part with him, then get out of here with him! Half of the reason my life is like this is your fault!

"If you hadn't tried so hard to stop me when I wanted a divorce, I wouldn't have gotten so angry that I fell ill, my son wouldn't have come into this world to suffer, and I wouldn't have been betrayed by this scumbag!"

Hearing this, He Ru felt both heartbroken and shocked. With tears streaming down her face, she said, "No, Mengmeng, Mom didn't expect this either. Calm down. Although Wang Zhuo did some bad things, he really didn't betray you!"

Li Meng pointed the knife at Wang Zhuo and said, "Are you going to get out of here on your own, or should I kill you here?"

Looking at the crazed Li Meng, Wang Zhuo felt a little scared. He grabbed his coat and walked out with a pained expression, saying, "You madwoman! I'm going to call the police! This is murder!"

He Ru watched Wang Zhuo run out the door, then turned to Li Meng and asked, "Mengmeng, did something happen to you outside? Tell your mother, I want to help you. You have no idea how much it has hurt me these past few days since you went missing."

Li Meng sheathed the knife and put it in her bosom. Bruising marks had already appeared on her neck. She sat back down on the bed and said coldly, "You've helped me a lot over the years, but look at the state of my life! This is all what you wanted, not what I wanted. How long do you intend to control me? I truly wish I had never been your daughter. If I could choose my life, I truly wish I had never been born."
