Time is extremely slow.
The huge cave was completely silent.
Huo Mingchen's face was ashen.
Cheng Shanshan clenched her fists; if she could, she would go and tear Ye Dong apart right now.
However, after waiting for an opportunity for a long time, she found that this guy had no flaws at all. As long as she or Huo Mingchen got even a fraction closer, the knife would sink into Bai's neck.
I finally have a mother.
I finally have a family.
Is she... going to lose her mother again?
The image of Bai being swept away by the flood in her past life to save her was still vivid in her mind.
If she were to experience the pain of loss again, could she bear it?
Knowing Cheng Shanshan's predicament, Bai tried several times to end her life, but Ye Dong was already prepared: "Don't bother. If I want you to die, you won't live a moment longer. If I don't want you to die, you can't die even if you want to!"
Bai's eyes were red: "You actually like my Shanshan, why are you doing this? Loving someone shouldn't be like this."
"If you love someone, you should get them, and get them from beginning to end. If you can't get them, then... better to be a broken jade than a whole tile." Ye Dong laughed even more wildly as he said this. He glanced at Liu Liu with disdain: "My good sister, you should thank your big brother for granting your wish today."
"no."
Cheng Shanshan said coldly.
Ye Dong narrowed his eyes slightly: "What, do you think you can disregard your mother's life for Huo Mingchen?" As he spoke, he tightened his knuckles, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce.
However, even though Bai was injured this time, she still gritted her teeth and signaled to Cheng Shanshan not to worry about her.
Huo Mingchen stepped forward: "Actually, I have a better solution. Wouldn't you be more satisfied if I died?" As he said this, his eyes were filled with determination: "As long as you release Aunt Bai, you can do whatever you want with me. I mean what I say."
"No……"
Bai did not want this to happen.
So she tried desperately to stop her, but she couldn't speak.
Ye Dong thought this made sense: "That's a good idea, but I don't want to do it myself. Why don't you just kill yourself in front of me?"
Huo Mingchen was about to agree when Cheng Shanshan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Huo Mingchen, don't think I don't know you're trying to take this opportunity to attack. What if you hurt me and my mother?"
"I……"
Huo Mingchen had just uttered one word.
Cheng Shanshan waved her hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, Brother Ye, all you want is me. I'll just exchange myself for my mother. That seems simpler."
"you?"
Ye Dong frowned.
"Yes, I'll come to your side, it's up to you."
The last sentence was extremely suggestive, and Huo Mingchen quickly grabbed Cheng Shanshan: "Shanshan, don't be impulsive."
"What do you mean I shouldn't be impulsive? It's my mother who's been tied up! You may not care, but I can't. She's my only mother!" Cheng Shanshan abruptly shook off Huo Mingchen's hand, her tone extremely harsh.
Huo Mingchen was stunned by Cheng Shanshan's words.
"Huo Mingchen, even in this situation, you still want to stop me. What are you up to?" Cheng Shanshan said, shoving Huo Mingchen as she spoke, her eyes blazing with anger. "I suddenly remembered, you always said my mother was in the way, so the person who wanted her dead the most wasn't Ye Dong, but you, right?"
Huo Mingchen was speechless: "I didn't..."
"Nothing."
Cheng Shanshan pressed on: "How come I never noticed before that you were so ruthless? Now that I see this, I suddenly feel that Brother Ye is a very good person. At least he won't let me have multiple wives and concubines."
As she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Dong and asked, "Brother Ye, do you think what I said is right?"
"The right person is the right one."
Ye Dong's expression, however, was devoid of emotion, instead filled with sarcasm: "But I'm not stupid. You don't need to put on an act in front of me. You think I'll let my guard down just because you two are arguing? That's impossible."
"..."
That's exactly what Cheng Shanshan thought.
Unexpectedly, she was ruthlessly exposed, but she still pretended to be calm: "What I said was the truth. I've disliked him for a long time. After all, he took your sister in after marrying me. What woman could stand that? Besides, he has a bad temper and is jealous. And the most unbearable thing is that he's not clean. Didn't you see what he used to be like?" As she spoke, she stepped forward and closed the distance between them.
Two steps.
Three steps, four steps.
Ye Dong, however, remained unmoved and instead looked on with amusement, saying, "If you take two more steps forward, it should work."
Since he had said that, Cheng Shanshan had no choice but to stop. The frustration made her feel annoyed, and she couldn't help but kick Cheng Sijin's butt: "Brother Ye, why don't you arrest this scumbag? If you had a knife to his throat, I would have lost if I even frowned."
After being kicked, Cheng Sijin jumped up and down in pain, saying, "You brat, why are you taking it out on me?" He rubbed his hand before continuing, "Besides, even if I'm not the best, I'm still your father. Aren't you going too far, girl?"
"So you do know you're my father? But I've never even seen what you look like since I was a child. You're not even as good as Brother Ye. At least he knew Liu Liu bullied me and stood up for me! He's willing to hurt his own sister. Can you compare?"
Liu Liu: "..."
Cheng Sijin: "..."
Cheng Shanshan looked at Ye Dong: "Brother Ye, what do you like about me? Should I change it?"
I like it when you're alive.
"...What a coincidence, I like that about myself too."
Faced with Ye Dong's stubbornness, Cheng Shanshan felt despair.
After all, in normal negotiation situations, it's acceptable to distract the other party or play the emotional card.
Despite trying every possible approach, the other party not only refused to let go but tightened their grip on Bai Shi even more. His eyes blazed with murderous intent: "Alright, stop wasting time. Do as I just said. Huo Mingchen, are you going to sleep with Liu Liu or commit suicide?"
Huo Mingchen didn't even glance at Liu Liu, and decisively chose the latter: "I will commit suicide."
"..."
Liu Liu felt that she had suffered more than just physical damage.
She was even insulted to her soul, which made her so angry that she struggled to her feet and charged at the culprit, Cheng Shanshan, with a dagger in her hand!
At that moment, Huo Mingchen decisively stood in front of Cheng Shanshan.
As blood began to spill out, Ye Dong's expression softened, and it was this slight change that allowed Cheng Shanshan to seize the opportunity immediately.
No sooner said than done!
Suddenly, Cheng Shanshan took out an iron shovel from her spatial storage and slammed it at Ye Dong!
The powerful inertia caused him to fall to the ground, and Bai was finally released...
