Zhou Bingchen stopped and stood there in a daze, dragging the screaming Qiao Zhixian, his whole body as if shrouded in great sorrow.
In those unchanging deep and cold eyes, there was now shock, confusion, pity, and even strong anger.
In just a moment, his eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Ji Linting and questioned him word by word in a hoarse voice, "You want to kill your child just for a piece of trash like this!"
During the confrontation, I watched Ji Xing's feet in the air struggling with the arc getting smaller and smaller, his face turned purple, and I felt dizzy.
I knelt in front of Ji Linting and begged him over and over again to let the child go.
Ji Xing was also the child he got back in exchange for blocking all his reincarnation paths!
How could he bear to kill?
But the man in front of him couldn't hear him, and still stared at Zhou Bingchen with a ferocious face and refused to give in.
Even if he could hear it, he would have forgotten the past and probably wouldn't care about the life or death of my son and me.
I collapsed to the ground in despair, my soul so weak that it seemed to be extinguished.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingchen released the hand that was pulling Qiao Zhixian's hair. His voice was full of sarcasm and anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Linting, you are such a good fellow! Sooner or later, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
At the same time, Ji Linting also let go of his hand, and Ji Xing, who was already pale as ashes, fell to the ground. However, he rushed over regardless and hugged Qiao Zhixian with a loving look on his face, comforting her with red eyes.
I looked at Ji Xing who was lying on the ground and coughing madly, and I let out a long sigh as if my soul was weightless and collapsed on the ground.
I never expected that the person who saved my son would be the man whom I once hated and feared so much.
I looked at Zhou Bingchen with gratitude, but was shocked to see tears flashing in his eyes as he turned and left.
Is he feeling sorry for me?
＊
Eighteen days after my death.
Ji Linting came to the room where the freezer containing my body was and paced back and forth anxiously.
From time to time, he would open the freezer to see if I had come back to life.
Since moving to the manor, he hasn't even gone to the hospital.
Every day I eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the room where my body is stored.
I know what he is worried about.
Because Zhou Binchen has already started taking action.
The lawyer came to his house with documents and asked him to change his surname from "Ji" to "Zhou" and to explain my whereabouts, otherwise all his property would be recovered according to the contract signed that year.
I don’t know what contract these two brothers signed, but now his top priority is to resurrect me.
Now he is not as angry towards my corpse as before.
From time to time, he would open the freezer and explain something to me in a soft voice.
He explained that he did not intentionally use Ji Xing to save Qiao Zhixian, but was just afraid that the children would be without a mother to take care of them.
He also explained that his relationship with Qiao Zhixian and the birth of the child were all planned by my parents.
Finally, seeing that I still didn't react, he climbed into the freezer, hugged my frozen body and explained how much he missed me over the past three years.
I looked at him holding my broken body, and I felt nauseous and vomited. I felt that my soul was dirty.
He stroked my frozen face, the tears dripping from his eyes slowly condensed into frost, and his voice choked, "I'm sorry, Chuyuan, when I learned that you were back that day, I was actually so happy that I almost went crazy."
"You don't know how much I want to rush over to hug you and kiss you, but I can't do it. I can't get over the barrier in my heart..."
As he spoke, the tears on his cheeks had frozen into ice, but he didn't notice at all and continued chattering, pretending to be affectionate. "I can tolerate you betraying me, I can tolerate you hanging out with another man for three years, why can't you accept me cheating on you just once?"
I was stunned when I heard what he said.
How come I didn't even know when I betrayed him?
Even though I lived with Zhou Bingchen in northern Myanmar for three years, we never had sex.
Why did he spread rumors about me?
It wasn't until Qiao Zhixian brought in her parents and brother that I instantly understood the source of the rumor that I had cheated on my wife.
Qiao Zhixian looked around but couldn't find Ji Linting and was a little panicked at first, but when she saw Ji Linting holding my body and crying in the freezer, dissatisfaction and resentment flashed in her eyes.
But she quickly calmed down and rushed forward to pull him out.
"Hubby, please don't freeze yourself. My sister doesn't feel sorry for you, but I do. Don't torture yourself like this. I think we should get a divorce. I'll take Nan Nan away, and then my sister will wake up!"
She spoke with sincerity and tears streamed down her innocent face. Anyone who saw her would feel a desire to protect her.
But it was her charming appearance that became my nightmare for half my life.
When she was a child, whenever she cried, her parents would take her side for no reason.
When she was in high school, she had a premature love affair with a gangster and someone took a photo of her and reported it to the school.
Because of her tears, I was blamed and became a dissolute student despised by all my classmates.
Now, even if she sheds a few tears, my husband and son are completely captivated and stand beside her.
At this moment, Ji Xing hurriedly moved a chair and stood up. With a panicked look on his face, he gently wiped the tears from Qiao Zhixian's face. His cute voice was tinged with tears of reluctance. "Mom, don't divorce Dad. Don't leave us. If anyone has to leave, let that woman leave. I won't recognize her as my mother. You are my only mother!"
His big round eyes were innocent, but the words he said sounded extremely cruel to me, his biological mother.
He seemed to have forgotten that his father had strangled him two days ago and used him as a bargaining chip to rescue his stepmother.
I was so angry that I laughed.
Even though this stepmother abused him, fed him leftovers, and made him live in the storage room and the basement, he still regarded this vicious stepmother as a treasure.
What a failure I am as a dedicated and responsible mother!
Qiao's father and mother, standing by, also hugged Qiao Zhixian with a look of heartache, trying to comfort her. "Silly child, what are you talking about leaving? You and Lin Ting are the ones who truly love each other. You've suffered so much, why should she enjoy the good life from now on?"
I felt numb inside as I listened to their words favoring Qiao Zhixian.
I am already dead, how can I enjoy happiness?
Being dismembered and frozen, do they want to enjoy this blessing?
My brother, who is a teacher, also pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and joined in the coaxing. While coaxing, he did not forget to belittle me to Ji Linting who was almost frozen in the freezer.
"Brother-in-law, we don't know much about this girl Chuyuan. She has always liked to flirt with boys since she was a child, and she wants everyone to revolve around her. If you want her to be resurrected, I'll give you some advice. I guarantee that Qiao Chuyuan will be resurrected in no time."
I was floating to the side and couldn't help but stand up straight with curiosity, wondering what on earth could have allowed me to defy nature and break through the barrier of life and death to survive?
