Finally, those intermittent and vague words pierced the air like needles and penetrated into her ears.
In an instant, an uncontrollable, nameless rage erupted from her heart like a volcanic eruption, spreading rapidly and blazing fiercely. Her face, once filled with a gentle smile, suddenly changed color, as if covered by frost. The bright smile that had previously lingered on her lips melted away in the blink of an eye like ice and snow in the sun.
Instead, his face was filled with a frightening rage and a resentment that was as deep as a bottomless black hole. At this moment, Yu Wenlin's eyes were wide open, and flames of anger shot out from his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
Unable to contain her anger any longer, she abruptly stood up and rushed out of the inner room like a gust of wind. Arriving in the living room, she immediately spotted Li Fengjiao kneeling on the ground. Without a word, she raised her hand and slapped her hard. With a few crisp "slaps," a red palm print immediately appeared on Li Fengjiao's face.
Yu Wenlin widened her eyes, glared at Li Fengjiao, and said with gritted teeth: "Hmph! I never thought that you would be such a woman! My precious grandson, I will never agree to hand him over to you no matter what!" Her voice trembled with anger, and every word seemed to be filled with deep resentment.
After that, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to slap her again, but Wang Xiaolan stopped her and said, "Mom, it's not worth hitting someone like this. Don't dirty your hands."
Li Mei, who was standing by, rolled up her sleeves when she saw her cousin being beaten. She said angrily, "You stinky old woman, do you think we are vegetarians? We are not afraid of you. We are just trying to persuade you kindly. Otherwise..."
Yu Wenlin, his eyes red, said, "Are you threatening me, or are you trying to take the child away?"
Li Mei said, "I didn't say I wanted to take him away. This child has Zhu family blood flowing in his body. He should have returned to his father. You have no right to prevent them from recognizing each other."
Wang Xiaolan said, "Whether or not one has the right is not up to you to decide. I don't need to talk about this with someone like you who has nothing to do with it. Let Zhu Dayong speak for himself."
Yu Wenlin said angrily, "Humph! I don't think he has the guts to say that."
At that moment, there was a crisp "click" sound, and the tightly closed door of the room was slowly opened by a key from the outside. In an instant, a dazzling and strong light shone straight in from outside like a sharp sword, instantly illuminating the originally dim room.
Standing at the door were Zeng Qiang and his son, Zeng Cheng. They had clearly not expected to see such a scene. The women in the family were now standing face to face, each with a tense and angry expression, as if a fight were imminent. The atmosphere between them was extremely tense, as if an invisible pressure permeated the entire room.
Zeng Qiang and Zeng Cheng, father and son, looked at the scene in front of them and stood there in a daze for a moment, completely at a loss.
It took a long while for Zeng Qiang to come back to his senses. His face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes revealed a hint of coldness. He pointed at Li Mei and Li Fengjiao and asked coldly, "What are you doing? You come to our house to make a scene, don't you even know where you are?"
Zeng Cheng was seen standing aside with an angry look on his face. His eyes, which were already very big, were now wide open and a little scary, as if they were about to spit out fire.
He gritted his teeth and echoed, "Humph! With just your two tricks, you think you can cause trouble in our house? Why don't you go and ask around and see if we can just do whatever you want? Do you really think our Zeng family is a soft persimmon that can be squeezed at will? If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation for what happened today, don't even think about setting foot out of this door! I want to see who gave you such courage."
Li Fengjiao was frightened by the sudden questioning and let go of Wang Xiaolan's trouser leg and collapsed to the ground.
Zeng Cheng angrily walked up to Li Mei, pointed at Li Fengjiao, who was sprawled on the ground, and shouted, "Li Mei! It's fine if she doesn't know about our family situation, but don't you know about it either? What the hell are you trying to do here?"
Li Mei stared blankly at Zeng Cheng, his face distorted by anger and his finger pointing to the ground. The last bit of warmth in her heart seemed to be drained away.
She originally still held on to a tiny bit of fantasy, imagining that Zeng Cheng treated her so indifferently only because of the situation at the time, but at this moment, this last bit of hope was instantly shattered like a bubble without a trace.
I recall that I went to his workplace again and again with great anticipation to look for him, but was turned away every time. At that time, I naively thought that he was just reluctant to get close to me because there were so many people around. But now it seems that everything was just self-deception.
It turned out that he truly, completely disliked her, and those so-called excuses and reasons were just wishful thinking. Thinking of this, Li Mei felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
Li Mei looked at Zeng Cheng in front of her and stammered, "I, I..." She couldn't even say the last sentence.
However, at this moment, her heart was already filled with anger, like a surging sea that could not be calmed down.
She secretly gnashed her teeth and cursed Zeng Cheng, whom she had admired for so long: "You self-righteous fellow, do you really think that you, Zeng Cheng, are the only one in this huge world? Don't think that just because I like you so little, you can trample on my dignity so wantonly! Humph, it's simply a foolish dream! Don't be so complacent and arrogant, because it won't be long before you regret what you did today!"
Zeng Cheng didn't wait for her answer. He just rolled his eyes at Li Mei and walked straight to Wang Xiaolan. He pointed at Li Fengjiao, who was kneeling on the ground with her clothes disheveled, and said, "Little sister, what's going on?"
Yu Wenlin didn't wait to give Wang Xiaolan any chance to speak, and he couldn't wait to tell the father and son in front of him everything he had heard, without missing a single word.
After hearing the whole story, the father and son widened their eyes and showed surprise on their faces from time to time.
After hearing his mother's story, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but recall that before Wang Xiaolan was recognized, he had gone to the Xiangshui Brigade to investigate Xiaomei. At that time, he knew all the hardships and fatigue Xiaomei had endured there.
In front of Xiaomei, he didn't want to talk about the past, just wanted time to slowly erase it all. But what he never expected was that the unfaithful man's wife actually came to the house to ask for the child! Isn't this just rubbing salt into Xiaomei's wounds?
Thinking of this, he was furious and looked at Li Fengjiao with a sneer on his face. Li Fengjiao was frightened by this smile and stepped back...
