Mo Wenqiu wasn't just going to talk the talk; he took concrete action. In just a minute or two, he was on the balcony, and with one step, he halfway across.

"Are you still going to get a divorce or not?" Mo Wenqiu shouted angrily.

Mo Wenqiu knew Mo Chuyu's personality inside and out. Although she was unyielding in her actions, she was soft-hearted. Normally, if they cried, made a scene, or even threatened suicide, Mo Chuyu would definitely not be able to stand it and would surrender immediately. Today, her father was threatening suicide, and Mo Wenqiu was not convinced that he could not handle this little girl.

Ji Xiaoxiao's expression shifted, and Mo Wenqiu was overjoyed.

Are you scared now? If you don't kneel down and beg me, I won't come down.

Mo Wenqiu thought to himself with delight, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

"Go die if you want, don't block my divorce." Ji Xiaoxiao said casually.

What? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again.

Why don't you just die already? You don't even care if he lives or dies!

Crack! Mo Wenqiu's little heart shattered.

Mo Wenqiu secretly spied on Ji Xiaoxiao. Ji Xiaoxiao's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of panic, like a deep pool of water, clear to the bottom, cool as ice and snow.

"I really want to die!" Mo Wenqiu roared at the top of his lungs.

Ji Xiaoxiao ignored him, and picked up Hao Zhenran, shaking him from side to side and up and down.

Hao Zhenran felt nauseous and vomiting, on the verge of death, truly in tears and in unbearable pain.

"Dad, save me," Hao Zhenran cried out, trying to suppress his pain.

Mo Wenqiu was terrified. His son, Hao Zhenran, could not be harmed; an accident was absolutely unacceptable.

"Mo Chuyu, put my son down, or I'll kill myself. Then you'll be the murderer, and we'll see what you do then. Don't think I'm bluffing you; if Zhenran gets into trouble, I won't live either." Mo Wenqiu threatened Ji Xiaoxiao with genuine sincerity.

Having lived for decades, Mo Wenqiu would probably have died long ago if he hadn't valued his life. His current desperate threats against Ji Xiaoxiao are only because of Hao Zhenran's charm.

The earth doesn't revolve around you. Whether you live or die, nobody cares.

Ji Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and continued to swing Hao Zhenran along.

The shaking intensified, and Hao Zhenran couldn't vomit even though he wanted to. A foul odor was stuck in his chest, unable to go up or down, a dull, suffocating feeling that kept growing, making his chest feel stuffy, hot, painful, and aching.

"Mo Chuyu, please let me go," Hao Zhenran said spinelessly.

Ji Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped what she was doing. Before Hao Zhenran could even feel happy, Ji Xiaoxiao asked, "You've agreed to the divorce?"

"I disagree." Hao Zhenran was a true man of steel in this regard.

If you disagree, then keep wandering around!

Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, the boat rocks all the way to Grandma's bridge.

Grandma, hello Grandma, Grandma smiles at me.

Pshaw, what's so great about Grandma?

Hao Zhenran vaguely remembered a nursery rhyme from the past and suddenly felt that his grandmother was naughty.

No, I can't take it anymore.

Hao Zhenran looked around. His son and daughter were immobilized and couldn't help. Little Sweetie was a weak girl and definitely couldn't beat the rough old woman Ji Xiaoxiao. As for his newly adopted mother, let's not even talk about her. That left only his father, Mo Wenqiu.

"Dad, save me," Hao Zhenran said, his voice trembling with tears.

That's his son, the son he had worked so hard to have!

Mo Wenqiu glanced at him, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind.

"Mo Chuyu, I'm warning you one last time, are you going to let go of Zhenran or not?" Mo Wenqiu made his final statement. If Ji Xiaoxiao still didn't listen to his advice, he would have no choice but to resort to nuclear measures.

With Hao Zhenran in one hand, Ji Xiaoxiao's other hand was also busy. She reached out, grabbed Wu Huihua's collar, and threw her at Mo Wenqiu's feet.

“Aren’t you two the most loving couple? You’re about to die, and I think it’s pitiful to leave her behind as such an old hag. Why don’t you take her with you? Anyway, it’s good in a way; someone will accompany you on your journey to the underworld, so you won’t seem too lonely and helpless.” Ji Xiaoxiao’s words were meant to tell Mo Wenqiu that threatening to kill herself wouldn’t work on her.

"I really will jump." Mo Wenqiu looked down and, damn it, it was terrifying.

Ji Xiaoxiao waved her hand dismissively and continued to torment Hao Zhenran without stopping. Helpless, Hao Zhenran once again begged Mo Wenqiu to lend him a hand.

Seeing that Ji Xiaoxiao wouldn't budge despite his pleas and threats, Mo Wenqiu became enraged and, in a fit of pique, demanded that Wu Huihua die with him. Wu Huihua's agreement was resolute, and she quickly climbed onto the balcony.

Having been Mo Wenqiu's wife for decades, Wu Huihua knew exactly what Mo Wenqiu was thinking. Since Mo Wenqiu only intended to scare Ji Xiaoxiao, why wouldn't Wu Huihua agree? After all, it was just a matter of going up and sitting, not actually jumping down.

"If you let go of Zhenran, I'll vomit to show you (If you don't let go of Zhenran, I'll die to show you)." Wu Huihua joined the group threatening Ji Xiaoxiao.

They all made her feel bad, they really thought she was a pushover.

"Go ahead and die if you want, I'll just watch from here," Ji Xiaoxiao said angrily.

Mo Wenqiu and Wu Huihua turned pale. That rebellious daughter truly didn't care about their lives. Ji Xiaoxiao wasn't giving them a way out. Were they really going to die because they valued their pride?

"No, no!" Mo Wenqiu and Wu Huihua hurriedly shook their heads.

Mo Wenqiu and Wu Huihua's resolve to die hard was ignited, and Ji Xiaoxiao decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Die! Why don't you just die? When you're dead, as your daughter, I'll definitely cremate you. Your ashes won't be wasted either; I'll use them as pig feed to raise pigs!"

As soon as Ji Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Mo Wenqiu and Wu Huihua thought about it and shuddered.
