When Brother Liu heard this, he seemed to explode. He grabbed Qiao Jiabao by the collar and lifted him up!
"What did you say, you little bastard?!" Brother Liu cursed viciously.
Qiao Jiabao struggled hard, but said stubbornly, "I told you that you are not my father, you are a scoundrel!"
"Say it again!" Brother Liu roared.
"You despicable person!" Qiao Jiabao shouted again stubbornly, fueled by anger.
The next second, Brother Liu's broad and thick palm slapped Qiao Jiabao's face, making a loud slapping sound.
Qiao Jiabao's head was buzzing from the blow, and his face was burning as if it was on fire. He felt a fishy-sweet liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the hot sensation made his mind dizzy.
"Are you going to talk or not? I'm going to beat you to death!" Brother Liu shook hard, and Qiao Jiabao's body swayed like a piece of paper.
Just at this moment, Cen Juan heard the noise downstairs and rushed out. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw her son being abused.
"Brother Liu!" Cen Juan rushed over and grabbed Brother Liu's arm.
Seeing her son beaten beyond recognition, Cen Juan felt heartbroken!
"What happened?" Cen Juan's eyes were filled with tears, not knowing what had happened.
Brother Liu's face turned red with anger. He pushed Qiao Jiabao away in annoyance, and Qiao Jiabao fell heavily to the ground.
"Hmm!" Qiao Jiabao groaned, and lay motionless on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Cen Juan rushed over and held Qiao Jiabao in her arms.
Brother Liu gave her a sarcastic look, three parts disdain and seven parts contempt in his eyes.
"Hmph, your good son! He actually said I was a despicable person. He even forgot who let him go back to school!" Brother Liu rolled his eyes at Cen Juan and looked down on them mother and son.
Is it still necessary to cherish the woman you have? Your attitude has changed drastically from the beginning.
Qiao Jiabao groaned pitifully in Cen Juan's arms, "Mom, it hurts so much..."
Cen Juan hugged Qiao Jiabao tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"How could you hit him like this! I'm going to fight you!" Cen Juan wanted to break up with Brother Liu because she felt sorry for her child.
When Cen Juan rushed forward, Brother Liu grabbed her wrist and sneered contemptuously, "Okay, you're standing up for him, then get out of my house and continue living your poor life!"
"You want to drive me away? I have already given myself to you, and you actually want to drive me away?" Cen Juan stared at Brother Liu in disbelief. How could this man, who had been so obedient to her before, turn against her so quickly?
Brother Liu laughed sarcastically, "Anyway, I'm almost tired of playing. If you listen to me, you can live here. If you don't listen to me..."
Brother Liu didn't say anything else. Even if he didn't say the rest, Cen Juan understood it.
Turning around, Cen Juan picked up Qiao Jiabao, her face becoming serious and cold, "Jiabao, apologize to your uncle quickly." When she said this, Cen Juan didn't even look at Qiao Jiabao.
Qiao Jiabao's dark eyes were filled with shock. His mother actually asked him to apologize to this bad guy?
"I don't..." Qiao Jiabao had just said two words of refusal when suddenly a sharp pain struck his cheek!
Cen Juan slapped him hard! Even harder than Brother Liu!
"Bastard! I asked you to apologize!" Cen Juan's vicious eyes shocked Qiao Jiabao. It was the first time he saw such a terrible mother!
No matter what, my mother was always gentle to me in the past, but now she has become like a devil!
"I, I won't apologize..." Qiao Jiabao's stubborn character made him unconvinced, and he spoke stubbornly again.
With a slap, another heavy slap!
Qiao Jiabao only felt a roar in his ears, as if a plane was flying past. His eyes went dark and he felt like he was about to lose consciousness.
"Apologize! Otherwise I will beat you to death!" Cen Juan seemed like a completely different person, and she didn't even recognize herself anymore.
She had never hit Qiao Jiabao since he grew up, but now she had to do so, otherwise she would lose the good life she had worked so hard to exchange for her body again!
She absolutely cannot accept this horrible reality!
Qiao Jiabao was so scared of being beaten that he nodded obediently: "I apologize, I apologize, Mom, please don't hit me anymore."
As he spoke, tears welled up in Qiao Jiabao's eyes and dripped onto Cen Juan's sleeves.
"Uncle, I'm sorry. It's my fault." Qiao Jiabao raised his eyes and looked at Brother Liu with a dull look.
Brother Liu snorted coldly, waved his hand and walked away.
Cen Juan hugged Qiao Jiabao tightly. After watching Brother Liu disappear from her sight, she squatted down and cried softly.
Slender fingers gently stroked Qiao Jiabao's head. Cen Juan's shoulders trembled with tears. "Jiabao, I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for you. Did it hurt?"
Qiao Jiabao just shed silent tears without saying a word. His eyes became indifferent and he looked at Cen Juan coldly.
Cen Juan knew that the child was blaming her, and hurriedly hugged him: "Please forgive me, please forgive me, okay?"
"Mom had to do this, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to live in a house like this." Cen Juan cried aggrievedly, and the emotions contained in her tears were very complicated, with grievance, helplessness, and guilt...
But Qiao Jiabao said nothing and refused to say that he forgave Cen Juan.
Seeing this, Cen Juan began to slap herself furiously until her face became red and swollen. Only then did Qiao Jiabao finally say out in distress, "Mom, stop hitting me. Jiabao forgives you."
"Jiabao! Wuuuuuuu..." Cen Juan hugged Qiao Jiabao tightly and burst into tears.
From then on, Cen Juan lived with Qiao Jiabao in Brother Liu's house. However, the longer they lived there, the less Brother Liu liked Cen Juan. Brother Liu often found various ways to criticize Cen Juan, and even took his anger out on Cen Juan and Qiao Jiabao whenever he was upset.
That day, Brother Liu came back drunk and as soon as he pushed the door open he saw Cen Juan applying a facial mask.
Brother Liu stepped forward, ripped off the facial mask on Cen Juan's face, and roared, "You're old and ugly, why are you still flirting?!"
"Do you dislike me?" Cen Juan asked aggrievedly.
Brother Liu came up and slapped Cen Juan. "So what if I dislike you? You're not my wife. I can get rid of you if I want to. The key is that you still have such a big burden with you! You're disgusting!"
Listening to Brother Liu's scolding, Cen Juan secretly clenched her fists and began to blame Qiao Jiabao in a morbid way in her heart.
If the Qiao family hadn't refused to acknowledge him, if he hadn't followed her, how could she have gotten to where she is today? And why would this man in front of her despise her? Wasn't it because she had a son?
