Chapter 22 You made the first move



What are you saying?

Cheng Shanshan retorted, "Didn't you already make the decision for me?"

Bai's face flushed red, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Shanshan, I know you'll be angry, but..."

"Cousin, please help me." Cheng Wan'er couldn't wait any longer and immediately chimed in, "Cousin, I'm pregnant with Lin Sheng's child, but he's been locked up. This is practically driving me to the brink of despair."

Tears rolled down instantly.

Cheng Wan'er was already as beautiful as a delicate white flower, and now, with her shoulders trembling slightly as she cried, she was even more charming.

This made Cheng Shanshan look like a sinner. Bai Shi, who had initially regretted her actions, immediately softened: "Shanshan, you've already taught Lin Sheng a lesson this time. Why not be lenient?"

Grandma Cheng nodded: "Yes, yes, Lin Sheng once had feelings for you. Although you must be angry that he is with Wan'er now, feelings are uncontrollable. Just consider it helping your cousin."

"..."

Cheng Shanshan clenched her fist secretly.

She could only suppress her emotions by taking deep breaths. She looked at Madam Bai and softened her stance: "Mother, I really don't want to stay here anymore. Please come with me."

"I……"

Mr. Bai was in a bit of a dilemma.

At this moment, Cheng Xiulan couldn't stand it anymore and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "You girl are completely unreasonable. We've been trying to reason with you for ages, and it looks like we have to teach you a lesson!" As she spoke, she made a gesture to raise her hand.

Upon seeing this, Bai Shi immediately stepped in front of Cheng Shanshan.

Looking at Bai's figure, she couldn't help but recall the scene of her mother saving her in her previous life, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

They stopped in their tracks, intending to leave immediately...

She knew that Bai was at fault, but the root of the problem lay with those who had been stirring up trouble for her.

Thinking of this, she looked at the Cheng family members and her eyes suddenly turned ruthless and cold!

Bai said to Cheng Xiulan, "Xiulan, you said you wouldn't force Shanshan. Let's talk to her again, and she'll definitely agree."

"What are you talking about!" Cheng Xiulan gritted her teeth in anger, glaring fiercely at Cheng Shanshan: "Look at the murderous look on her face now. It's a waste of time to talk to her now. Let's just get it over with."

Bai was somewhat frightened.

Before she could react, Cheng Xiulan had grabbed her and locked her throat, then threatened, "If you agree to release Lin Sheng today, fine. If not, I'll show you what regret is!"

Bai was being choked, her face turning bright red.

Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan rushed forward and shouted urgently, "Let go of my mother!"

"What are you going to do? Why don't you let go!" Cheng Xiulan was already strong, and when she grabbed Bai Shi, she was like a mad bear: "Give me a straight answer now, are you going to go to the magistrate to plead for mercy or not?"

When Grandma Cheng saw this, she didn't stop it at all. Instead, she brought out a rope and said, "Since you've caught him, why don't you tie him up?" Then she threw him to Cheng Xiulan.

Cheng Shanshan tried to step forward, but was stopped by Old Lady Cheng with her dragon-headed cane: "We've begged and pleaded, we've even knelt down, why are you so stubborn!"

Cheng Xiulan had already tied up Bai Shi and sneered, "She's just like that useless mother of hers. We had to beg her for ages before she finally agreed, but who knew her daughter would be even more stubborn than her and insist on being tougher than me."

Looking at Old Madam Cheng and Cheng Xiulan, whose expressions had completely changed, Bai Shi truly felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

At this moment, Cheng Shanshan stood still watching this scene, her expression remaining largely unchanged: "Mother, do you see? Your weakness will only embolden them."

"I……"

Bai's eyes were filled with tears.

She was originally just feeling sorry for the baby in Cheng Wan'er's belly.

She never expected that she would still cause trouble for her daughter, and in this situation, she had no idea what to say.

Cheng Shanshan felt both helpless and heartbroken looking at Bai Shi. If it were anyone else, she would have turned around and left immediately, but this person was the mother who gave birth to her and raised her!

Since she couldn't ignore it, she dropped all pretense, her eyes instantly turning murderous: "Now that you've chosen to provoke me, don't blame me for being impolite."

Cheng Xiulan looked at the frail Cheng Shanshan, her face full of resentment: "Did I give you too much face just now, making you think you can talk to me like that?" After saying that, she quickly took out the stick she had prepared beforehand.

She was already quite large, but now, judging by her demeanor, she could only be described as ferocious.

Bai realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Shanshan, don't worry about me, you have to go! You have to go!"

Where do I go?

Cheng Shanshan not only didn't leave, but instead took a step forward.

That small body seemed to emanate endless coldness: "Mother, you only care about others, but never about me?"

Madam Bai shook her head: "No, no, no, Mother didn't think that much, Mother just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Xiulan's stick struck Cheng Shanshan squarely, and with a dull thud, she fell to the ground.

Bai stared wide-eyed, her body trembling slightly. In her terror, she couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Cheng Wan'er hurriedly wiped away the tears she had just squeezed out: "Mother, you didn't beat my cousin to death, did you?"

Grandma Cheng also asked, "That's right, why did you, you brainless idiot, use such force? What good would killing her do?"

Cheng Xiulan wanted to say that she hadn't exerted any effort.

But now, looking at Cheng Shanshan lying on the ground, she felt a little insecure. She could only timidly step forward and scold, "Hey, don't pretend to be dead. I don't believe you're that easy to beat!" As she spoke, she poked her with the stick in her hand.

However, Cheng Shanshan didn't react at all.

Cheng Wan'er was about to cry: "Waaah, what am I going to do? My cousin is dead, who will help me save Brother Lin?" She didn't feel sorry for Cheng Shanshan, she was only worried about Lin Sheng.

Grandma Cheng quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't worry, don't worry, Wan'er, you can't get emotional right now, it will cause problems."

"I'll wake her up soon."

In her haste, Cheng Xiulan rolled up her sleeves, intending to lift Cheng Shanshan up.

Unexpectedly, just as the action was halfway through, Cheng Shanshan, who had suddenly fallen to the ground and was motionless, suddenly reached out and restrained Cheng Xiulan.

Cheng Xiulan tried to dodge, but found herself held so tightly that she couldn't move at all: "Ouch, my arm is going to break! Let go of me right now!"

"Let me go? Dream on!"

Cheng Shanshan twisted her arm into a pretzel shape, and then with a slight force, there was a cracking sound as it broke.

Then Cheng Xiulan screamed, "Ahhh, my arm is broken!"
