Chapter 339 Your threats are useless

Shen Mingzhu looked at the two of them with teary eyes, but unfortunately her words did not resonate with them. Instead, they made Madam Shen even angrier.

“A person like you doesn’t deserve to be a mother. I will raise the child myself, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Madam Shen's attitude filled her with despair, and she looked at Han Xi, trying to get her to speak up for her.

"Sister-in-law, you are also a mother. How can you bear to see me separated from my child? Please speak up for me and ask them to forgive me. I will repay you by working like a slave from now on."

Han Xi ignored her. Even at a time like this, she was still trying to excuse herself, which was not an attitude of admitting her mistake at all.

Seeing that Han Xi did not respond, her pleading gaze fell on Madam Shen.

"Mom, are you really just going to abandon me like this? I won't survive in prison."

"That's your own problem."

She never expected her mother, who usually doted on her, to be so resolute this time. Now, everyone's anger towards her could burn her to death.

We cannot give up now; we must make one last effort.

Shen Mingzhu looked out the window and suddenly had an idea. She wiped away her tears and said, "Since you all think I deserve to die and refuse to forgive me, then fine, I'll die right here in front of you now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed to the windowsill and quickly stepped out, startling Madam Shen, who immediately chased after her but was scolded by her.

"Don't come any closer. I'm in so much pain because of what happened. Yiming is dead, and now all I have left are you family members. But you're sending me to prison. How am I supposed to live?"

Unexpectedly, she pulled this stunt. Madam Shen said with a headache, "You are pregnant now, don't make such a fuss."

Seeing a hint of concern in her mother's eyes, Shen Mingzhu's plan was at least half successful.

She sobbed, "Mom, you still care about me, right? I'm so sad. How stupid of me to hurt my family? If I could turn back time, I would never do anything to hurt you."

Now we can only play the family card. If we can persuade Madam Shen, she will still have a chance to gain her freedom.

Shen Jiheng angrily rebuked, "Stop making a scene and come down right now."

“If I don’t come down, brother, and you don’t forgive me, I’ll jump off here to wash away my sins.”

Shen Mingzhu's grief-stricken expression made Han Xi frown.

She continued speaking emotionally, tears streaming down her face, saying, "I'm so lucky in this life to be part of your family and to receive my mother's love. It's a pity I'm stupid and not very bright; I'm easily fooled by men's words, which is why I made my brother angry."

Hearing this, Madam Shen felt a lump in her throat and gently waved her hand.

"Mingzhu, this is dangerous for you. Let's talk about it here."

"Mom, I'm sorry. I will be your daughter again in my next life to repay your kindness in raising me."

Seeing her anxious expression, Shen Mingzhu knew that her method had worked, and couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Han Xi stepped forward and said, "Jump! We'll clean up after you. This is the thirteenth floor; you're guaranteed to fall to your death."

"...Sister-in-law, you hate me the most, right? I've been ruining your relationship with my brother. After I die, please forgive my mistakes."

Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth and held on, almost breaking down under Han Xi's words, who ruined the atmosphere that had been so hard to change.

Han Xi nodded: "Okay, I've got it. As long as you jump, everything will be wiped clean."

Why didn't things develop as she expected? Han Xi should have persuaded her to come down so that she could have a chance to speak, but instead she directly cut off her escape route.

Madam Shen looked at Han Xi with some anger. Shen Mingzhu caught this and immediately moved back deliberately, which startled Madam Shen so much that she waved her hand to stop her.

"Mingzhu, don't do anything rash. We can talk things out. Don't do anything foolish."

Han Xi truly admired her for still putting on an act even now, when her legs were clearly trembling when she moved.

Han Xi walked up to Madam Shen, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Auntie, you're just too kind. She's only doing this to scare you."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu angrily shouted, "Han Xi, how could you say such sarcastic things!"

Han Xi smiled calmly: "Did you see that? She's actually angry. If she were really upset, she wouldn't have the energy to talk to you so much. She just wants you to compromise."

Shen Mingzhu clenched her fists. That damned Han Xi was ruining her plans.

“I never thought that way. I really don’t want to live anymore.”

Han Xi cast a disdainful glance at her, having long seen through her clumsy trick.

"If you truly recognize your mistake, you should accept the punishment instead of threatening them in this way. If you want to die, just jump right now and stop talking nonsense."

Shen Jiheng agreed, "Han Xi is right. If you really want to jump, we will not stop you. If not, then stop pretending."

Shen Mingzhu turned her head to look downstairs. The distance startled her, and she instinctively moved back into the house. If she wasn't careful, she would fall and be in trouble.

She swallowed hard, then looked at Madam Shen. Now, she could only find a breakthrough by dealing with her mother.

She took one last gamble, took a deep breath, and said, "I will let you know that I really am not lying anymore. I am willing to pay with my life to earn your forgiveness."

Madam Shen was extremely anxious and wanted to step forward, but Han Xi stopped her.

Madam Shen frowned and looked at her. Han Xi supported her shoulder and turned her around so as not to look at Shen Mingzhu. He opened his mouth and said three words to her without making a sound.

"Believe me!"

Shen Mingzhu's tricks might fool her own mother, but they won't work on Han Xi. Besides, if she really died, it would be a good thing.

Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth in anger. She had finally seen a change in her mother, but it was all Han Xi's fault for causing trouble.

She sobbed and choked out, "Goodbye, Mom. Your daughter is unfilial and can only repay your kindness in the next life."

Then she looked at Shen Jiheng and continued to call out to him in that pitiful tone, "Brother, I'm sorry. I hope that after I die, you can forgive me for what I did."

Shen Mingzhu refused to believe they would remain unmoved, and then proceeded to emotionally appeal to Han Xi.

“Sister-in-law, I used to be jealous of you. You are so outstanding and good, always outshining me. That’s why I always targeted you. You and my brother are a perfect match. He has always loved you deeply. You two must be happy.”

Han Xi truly admired her eloquence; judging from Madam Shen's flustered expression, he knew she had already swayed his heart.

"Yiming, I've come to find you. Our family of three can finally be reunited."

Shen Mingzhu's gaze was fixed on Madam Shen, who was trembling and struggling, but she didn't turn around.

Then there was Shen Jiheng, who looked at her coldly, as if she were air, showing no regard for her life or death.

Did she miscalculate?

Three minutes passed, and the person sitting on the windowsill was somewhat exhausted, clinging tightly to the wall for fear of falling, but she received no offer to stop her.

Even her confident mother was not moved by her words.
