Chapter 154 Isn't your mother?

"Why wouldn't I believe it?"

Li Banxia glanced at Lin Jiefang, whose nerves were taut and whose clenched fists had veins bulging slightly, then looked at He Taohua, meeting her warning gaze, and sneered.

"You're saying Su Youfu is holding a grudge against me because I divorced him, and he wants to kill someone to send his own son to jail, or even be shot? Don't you think that excuse and that whole thing are utterly absurd? And you..."

As she spoke, she walked up to Su Youfu, raised her hand, and slapped him hard across the face!

"Smack!"

A crisp slap echoed in the hall. Caught off guard, Su Youfu was hit so hard that he and his chair fell heavily to the ground.

The captain frowned, about to speak up and remind people not to hit people, but was stopped by the vice-captain's eyes.

He whispered, "Wait, let's see what happens. Maybe there will be a twist."

A reversal?

The captain frowned even more deeply. Li Banxia had barely uttered a word since she came in, and only ran out after Su Youfu confessed. Could it be...?

"Is there someone else who committed the murder?"

He looked at the vice-captain, who remained silent, focusing solely on the field.

The others were also stunned by Li Banxia's sudden slap and stared at them blankly.

"Su Youfu!"

Su Youfu slumped to the ground in a disheveled state. Hearing the sound, he looked up at Li Banxia, ​​his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion, helplessness, and fear. He opened his mouth and called out, "Li Banxia..."

Li Banxia bent down and lifted the man up, then slapped him again with her backhand. "Wake up! Have you thought about the consequences of admitting to poisoning someone? At best, you'll spend your life in jail; at worst... you'll pay with your life! How many lives do you have?! Huh!"

Su Youfu shuddered, grabbed Li Banxia's hand, and opened his mouth as if to say something.

Lin Jiefang pursed his lips and glanced at He Taohua.

He Taohua lunged forward instantly, slapping Li Banxia's hand hard, trying to pull her away, shouting, "Li Banxia, ​​let go of Youfu! How dare you hit Youfu? It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, how could Youfu have become like this? You jinx! Youfu hasn't had a single good day since he married you. You forced him to harm people. You're the culprit who killed someone! You should go to jail..."

"Smack!"

Li Banxia slapped him across the face. "Why are you in such a hurry to stop me? What, are you afraid that Su Youfu will reveal that you are the mastermind behind this?"

"ah!"

He Taohua screamed and fell to the ground with a thud. Her jade hairpin fell off, and her hair, which was tied up in a bun, slapped haphazardly across her face. She looked even more disheveled than Su Youfu when she fell.

She turned around in a panic to look at the bride's family, who looked at her coldly, as if she were a clown who had made a complete fool of herself.

He Taohua's face turned pale; she felt utterly humiliated and wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

"Mom, are you alright?" Lin Jiefang called out and walked towards her.

He Taohua snapped out of her daze, remembering her purpose, and with red eyes and a face full of bitterness and grievance, called out to Su Youfu, "Brother Youfu..."

The captain nudged the deputy captain with his elbow and whispered, "Did you hear what Li Banxia said? That old lady definitely knows something."

The vice-captain grunted in response and said nothing more.

The captain frowned, wanting to say something, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Su Youfu looking distressed and reaching out to help He Taohua, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This old man is really...

Lin Jiefang bent down to help He Taohua up, looked at Li Banxia with a pained expression, and asked her, "Aunt Li, are you afraid that not letting Uncle Youfu confess will affect the future of your children?"

Li Banxia looked at him coldly and retorted, "Isn't your mother one?"

Upon hearing this, the captain looked at the vice-captain, their eyes met, and they both raised their eyebrows.

Lin Jiefang clenched his fist and said, "The old saying goes that parents plan far ahead for their children, and it is indeed true. Aunt Li's intentions are good, but Uncle Youfu did do something wrong. People have to pay the price for their mistakes. You said that, Aunt Li, but why can't you do it when it comes to yourself?"

Li Banxia narrowed her eyes, looked into Lin Jiefang's eyes, and smiled mockingly.

"I did say that. You're such a good child, always remembering what I said. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that he had such a bright future ahead of him, yet he chose to ruin it himself.

Her gaze and smile inexplicably ignited a fire of anger and rage within Lin Jiefang, like an inextinguishable wildfire that instantly filled his chest, making him feel suffocated and almost bursting out.

He dug his nails into his palm, letting the stinging pain suppress the anger in his heart. His eyes darkened slightly, and he replied calmly, "It's a pity. I've always treated Aunt Li like my own aunt, but it turns out... she doesn't care at all."

As she spoke, she even made a face that said, "I'm heartbroken."

Li Banxia frowned, feeling an indescribable disgust.

Su Laosan spat and pointed at Lin Jiefang, cursing, "Lin Jiefang, have you no shame! My mother is not a promiscuous woman like your mother! And who do you think you are? All these years my mother has helped you two have been for nothing! Bah! Calling you dogs is an insult to dogs. Even a dog raised for ten or twenty years knows to protect its owner. You are heartless beasts..."

Lin Jiefang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he looked at Su Laosan with a gloomy expression.

Su Laosan was cursing so fast that he was catching his breath and didn't catch it.

Fang Erniu was a little anxious. She took two steps to Su Laosan, shielded him behind her, spat an even bigger mouthful of saliva at Lin Jiefang, and shouted with her hands on her hips, "Hey, Lin dog! What are you looking at? Do you want to eat my boyfriend with your eyes?! Look again... I'll gouge your eyes out and pop them like marbles!"

As he said this, he made a fist gesture, which, combined with his chubby cheeks, made him look both cute and fierce.

Su Laosan chuckled smugly.

Lin Jiefang's forehead veins bulged, and he glanced coldly at Fang Erniu.

Where did this uncivilized ape come from?

As expected, every pot has its lid. Su Laosan is only fit to spend his life with this kind of woman, wasting his life.

Li Banxia glanced at Su Laosan and nodded in praise.

"The third brother is right. My Li family are all upright people. My parents would never have given birth to a daughter like He Taohua, who is no good. You two should stop trying to claim kinship. You are not worthy!"

"That's right!" Su Laosan straightened his back and his voice was incredibly loud after being praised by his mother.

Lin Jiefang's face instantly became even more gloomy and cold.

Seeing that her son couldn't back down, He Taohua gritted her teeth and shouted, "Who's trying to curry favor with you? You're the shameless ones who're eager to suck up to us!"

Li Banxia clicked her tongue.

"Only ingrates like you can say such heartless things!"

"That's right!" Su Laosan shouted again.

Fang Erniu hadn't followed along earlier, but as soon as Su Laosan finished speaking, she quickly chimed in, "Right!"

Those who were nearby instinctively took a step back from the two of them.

These two are going to deafen me from their loud voices.

I can't take it.

He Taohua called out to Su Youfu with tears welling up in her eyes. Su Youfu, having snapped out of his reverie by Li Banxia's words about "risking his life," saw He Taohua and inexplicably shivered.

She said, "Peach Blossom, did you hear that? Li Banxia said I might have to pay with my life for them. Do you really want me to die?"
