Chapter 258 Loving your daughter is a fashion item

Zhu Xiulian was trembling all over.

The Huo Ning in front of him looked like an evil spirit.

She didn't know why Mrs. Song, who was so easy to please, had such a scary granddaughter.

The waffle in Huo Ning's hand was already close to her mouth, and it looked like she was about to stuff it into her mouth.

Zhu Xiulian's face was covered with tears, and she finally couldn't hold it in anymore and broke down.

"Don't feed me!"

“It’s poisonous!”

"Please, don't give it to me!"

She almost shouted these words hysterically with tears in her eyes.

Huo Ning had a blank expression on his face. He threw the biscuit in his hand into the box, and a mocking sneer emanated from his lips.

"Finally admitted it."

Song Xingwen and Old Lady Song froze and looked at Zhu Xiulian in disbelief.

The electric heater in the room was on, but Mrs. Song still felt her body getting colder and colder.

Even if she accepted the box of waffles, she wouldn't actually eat them.

She is old and cannot eat such high-sugar foods.

Xingwen never eats these.

But there are Ningning, Zhenzhen and a five-year-old child at home!

Elderly people naturally like to share the things they think are good with their grandchildren.

Old Lady Song didn’t dare to think about it at all. If Ning Ning hadn’t discovered that this thing was poisonous—

She closed her eyes tightly and did not ask Zhu Xiulian why she did this. She just turned her head to look at her son and said in a trembling voice: "Xingwen, call the police."

Song Xingwen hummed and glanced at Zhu Xiulian expressionlessly.

It is true that there must be something hateful about every pitiful person.

"No! You can't call the police!"

Zhu Xiulian's pupils shrank sharply, and she immediately rushed to Old Lady Song and knelt down in front of her.

She was crying, her frail body was swaying and about to fall, and her face was red, swollen and purple. She looked so pitiful.

"Auntie Song, please don't call the police."

"I was forced to do it. My husband forced me to give you this box of poisoned stuff."

Her body was shaking like a sieve, and the corners of her eyes were turning red. "I don't want to do this, but——"

Tears flowed like a tide, Zhu Xiulian's throat was hoarse, and her voice was choked with sobs, "But if I don't agree, he will beat me to death!"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves.

Under the wheat-colored skin were numerous wounds, so dense that they looked like a dense forest full of thorns.

One arm was covered in bruises, with long ugly scars and blood scabs that had not yet fallen off.

Looking around, it's shocking.

No matter how brave and fearless a person is, he would gasp when he saw the wound on her hands.

Zhu Xiulian smiled bitterly, "This is just one of the points."

She rolled up the sleeve of her other arm.

It was the same terrifying purple-blue pattern. Upon closer inspection, there was not a single piece of healthy skin on the arm.

"And on me..."

As she spoke, she was about to lift up her clothes, but was stopped by Old Madam Song with a sullen face.

"No need to lift your clothes. From the wound on your arm, I can tell that you are seriously injured."

Zhu Xiulian didn't know whether Mrs. Song had softened her heart.

She raised her head carefully and saw that although Song Xingwen and Old Lady Song were still very angry, there was a bit of complexity in their eyes.

But when she raised her head to look at Huo Ning, who frightened her so much, she saw that he still had no expression on his face.

Zhu Xiulian could even sense a hint of mockery in Huo Ning's eyes.

It was as if she had performed a great drama all by herself.

No matter how she tells us how pitiful she is.

In Huo Ning's eyes, she was nothing more than a little clown for others to amuse themselves.

She was afraid that Mrs. Song would continue to call the police, so she had to wipe away her tears and cried until she was almost hoarse.

"I know I'm useless. I'm just a worthless bastard. I can't do anything except rely on him for a living."

"If we call the police today, one of us will go to jail."

"We both will even have criminal records."

Her eyes were bloodshot and she even began to kowtow to Old Lady Song and Song Xingwen.

"I know that I am a worthless person and I deserve to die, let alone go to jail, but I still have a daughter——"

She cried until she broke down. "My daughter is so well-behaved and sensible. She was born in my belly. I have already let her down."

"If one of her father and I went to jail today, we would both have criminal records. How would she take the civil service exam? This would affect her whole life!"

She knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried, and her mind was even a little dazed.

Zhu Xiulian moved her lips, "If...if you are really not satisfied, I...I can die, but please don't call the police, I beg you."

She staggered to her feet from the ground, her eyes numb, her face pale, and even a smile uglier than crying escaped her lips.

"I'm going to atone for the wrong I've done!"

Zhu Xiulian's eyes were filled with the determination to die, and she rushed towards the white wall of the Song family.

Huo Ning grabbed her arm hard.

Song Xingwen also stopped her fiercely.

Old Mrs. Song felt weak all over and her face turned pale.

She couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhu Xiulian really died in the Song family.

Song Xingwen was really shocked by her behavior of wanting to die at any time.

There was sweat on his forehead and his clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.

"well!"

Song Xingwen sighed heavily.

"Why do you have to narrow your own life path so much? Forget it, we promise you won't call the police, so just go back quickly."

Song Xingwen felt very depressed.

He didn't want to compromise either.

But in this world, the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and the arrogant are afraid of those who don't care about their lives.

Those who don't want their lives are afraid of those who don't want their lives even more.

The Song family really couldn't afford to offend someone like Zhu Xiulian who would seek death when she couldn't achieve her goal.

Zhu Xiulian heaved a sigh of relief and gave Song Xinwen a grateful smile, "Brother Xingwen, thank you... Thank you and Aunt Song, too--"

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a sudden chuckle in her ears.

Huo Ning looked at her with a half-smile, "Zhu Xiulian, you acted very well."

The senior brother, who had gone to the restroom again, nodded in agreement, then glanced at Huo Ning and commented seriously: "My evaluation is that she acted better than you."

Huo Ning: “?”

At this point, there's no need to criticize her acting skills!

Zhu Xiulian's face turned pale and she looked at Huo Ning tremblingly.

Why did all her thoughts seem to be exposed in front of this woman?

She was shaking, looking at Huo Ning pitifully, her voice choking, "I... I don't understand what you are saying."

"I... I am just a woman with a miserable life, and I gave birth to a daughter with a miserable life just like me..."

Huo Ning clapped his hands and exclaimed in amazement.

She had seen many shameless people, but this was the first time she had seen someone as shameless as Zhu Xiulian.

"Zhu Xiulian, loving and caring for your daughter has almost become a fashion item for you."

"You have been shameless for a long time. You fooled yourself before fooling others, right?"
