Chapter 525 Daughter-in-law
She had also seen the video at that time. It was edited into a short video of ten minutes, which was impossible to watch in its entirety. Every frame was extremely cruel. Although there was no sound, one could tell from Shen Zhichu's expression in the video how much pain she was in at the time. She was tortured to the point of being worse than death and fell into despair.
Lu Tingchuan is the perpetrator, and Li Jingshen is the instigator. Compared with Lu Tingchuan, Li Jingshen is more disgusting and terrifying.
Li Jingshen hid his past very well. Everyone thought that Li Jingshen was a man with deep love. He loved his deceased wife deeply. Before, when his wife suffered from mental illness, he did not abandon her. He took good care of her and even built an amusement park for her.
But what they didn't know was that Li Jingshen had driven his wife into depression, used her as a reproductive tool, destroyed her family, damaged her pride, aborted her child, and confined her to a wheelchair.
Bai's mother was also the one who was confused. She asked, "Do you still love Li Jingshen?"
"Love?" Shen Zhichu asked back, then laughed out loud, "Would you fall in love with someone who drives you to death?"
Shen Zhichu's eyes were already red, and now even his eyes were red as if they were about to bleed, filled with hatred.
"Aunt Li, do you know the Shen family in Rongcheng?"
"I know." Thinking back to the time when the Shen family was also a member of the upper class, although it was not as good as the Li family and the Bai family, it should not be underestimated.
When talking about Chengdu, the first person that people at that time thought of was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
At a young age, she took over the Shen Group after Mr. Shen passed away, which prevented the Shen Group from declining so quickly.
"Back then, Li Jingshen used the same methods he used against the Bai family to destroy my family. How could I possibly like him when I hated him so much? People have to have some dignity."
When Shen Zhichu said these words, he had a smile on his face, but his dark eyes were so gloomy that there was no trace of smile at all.
How much hurt and grievance had she suffered because of Li Jingshen over the years? Being kept in captivity, enduring his demands to bear children, who knew how many times she had wanted to commit suicide?
She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family who has been "envied" since childhood, but was secretly forced to become a plaything. Who can understand the bitterness of this?
Li Jingshen always said how much he loved her now, and his love for her was no less than Bai Qiujing's.
Talking about love only after forcing someone to death, isn't this more disgusting than rape?
If Li Jingshen had felt even a little sorry for her, she wouldn't have chosen to be burned to death in the end.
Chen Zhichu didn't say much about the past, but Bai's mother could already guess what was going on. When she thought of the tortured Chen Zhichu in the video, she felt a sudden blockage in her heart and couldn't eat.
She felt sorry for Shen Zhichu.
Under the light, Shen Zhichu's face was as pale and transparent as jade. Bai's mother looked at her, moved her lips but sighed in her heart.
She opened her bag and took out a jade bracelet.
"Chu Chu, stretch out your hand."
Shen Zhichu didn't understand what Bai's mother was going to do, but he still extended his hand obediently.
Bai's mother gently held her wrist and put the bracelet on her before she could react.
"Aunt Li, it's so precious..."
Shen Zhichu's hands were very white, with slender joints. Wearing the emerald green jade bracelet, her hands looked as white as the finest mutton-fat jade.
Bai's mother looked at the bracelet on her wrist and said, "This bracelet was given to me by my mother-in-law when I first married into the Bai family. She said it should be passed down to daughters-in-law. She gave it to me and now I give it to you. Keep it well. From now on, you are my daughter-in-law. In our Bai family, we only help our relatives and not our relatives."
"Aunt Li, Li Jingshen is treating the Bai family like this now because of me..."
"It's not because of you. I can still tell the difference between a victim and an abuser. I won't blame you for his selfishness." As a gentle person at heart, her voice and eyes are gentle, and this cannot be deceived.
Bai's mother's gentleness made Shen Zhichu feel uneasy. Shen Zhichu asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't you care about my past?"
Bai's mother smiled and said, "You said that's all in the past. Since it's all in the past, why bother about it? You've been reborn, which means the Chen Zhichu of the past is dead. Don't worry, your uncle and I are very open-minded. The family property is gone, and the money can be earned again. As long as the person is still alive, it's fine. Qiu Jing also said that he can support us, so I'm very satisfied with that."
On the contrary, it was Shen Zhichu who chose to marry into the Bai family at this time, which was a true marriage down from her parents.
The Bai family is in such a mess now that even their relatives and friends who once tried to please them have chosen to retreat and stay as far away from them as possible. Instead, Shen Zhichu chose to support them at this time and even got a marriage certificate with Bai Qiujing at this time.
The saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed is true.
My heart, which had been extremely tense all the way here, finally relaxed after listening to what Bai's mother said.
After lunch, Shen Zhichu followed Bai's mother to the hospital to see Bai's father.
Father Bai is still receiving treatment in the hospital. It has been such a short time since we last saw him, and his hair is already full of white.
