"I didn't!" Su Mu roared, clinging tightly to the handrail.
"Liao Nanxing, aside from that drink today, think carefully about what I've ever done to Zhou Chunhua. I haven't done anything, yet you're trying to shift all the blame onto me! Shouldn't you reflect on your own actions?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xu Xiuzhen, who had been standing beside her, slapped her across the face.
She gritted her teeth and wrote on the paper: What does my son need to reflect on? It's you! Before you came into the family, his career was going smoothly and everything he wanted was going well. But after you came into the family, nothing in his work or his life has gone well!
You're a jinx! You brought death to my parents, and now you're bringing misfortune to my son! The biggest regret of my life was agreeing to let him marry you, this jinx! Divorce! We must divorce! I can't let you bring any more harm to my son!
With a few quick scribbles, Xu Xiuzhen wrote another string of words and handed it to Liao Nanxing: Don't listen to his nonsense. If you had problems, how could you have become a professor that everyone envies? And what makes you think you can settle down and start a family in a big city?
The problem is with her! Not only is she not a good wife or a good wife, but she's also brought you all this trouble! Think about it, before you divorced Zhou Chunhua, everything went smoothly for you, didn't it? It's only after she came into our family that you've had so many problems.
Besides giving birth, the most important thing for a woman is to bring good fortune to her husband. Nanxing, I consulted a master, who said that Sumu and you have conflicting birth charts, meaning that in your past life you were a dirty laborer, which is why you lost your parents and are now destitute in this life.
The master said that whoever gets close to her will suffer bad luck. If you don't drive her away, our whole family will be ruined by her!
On the contrary, the fortune teller calculated Zhou Chunhua's birth chart and said that she was a very kind person in her past life and was here to enjoy good fortune in this life. She not only brings good luck to her husband but also makes her shop very prosperous. It is said that no matter what she does, money will follow her everywhere.
You'd better hurry up and get rid of Su Mu and bring Zhou Chunhua back!
Liao Nanxing spent a long time reading those few short lines.
It could be said that he was inexplicably lost in thought.
Those glorious days are still vivid in my mind.
Thinking back carefully, Zhou Chunhua's family was truly destitute before she married him.
Life in the family only truly began to change after Zhou Chunhua married into the family.
so……
Liao Nanxing looked at Su Mu in horror.
He was really foolish enough to push away a lucky star who could have helped him reach the pinnacle of glory just for Su Mu!
No! It wasn't him who pushed him away, but Su Mu who pestered him and forced him to do it!
It's all because of Su Mu!
If it weren't for her, how could he and Zhou Chunhua have gotten divorced? And if they hadn't divorced, how could he have lost every penny of his money? It's all her fault! It's all her fault!
Thinking of this, Liao Nanxing's eyes welled up with hatred.
He grabbed Su Mu by the hair, trying to pull him off the handrail pillar.
Su Mu was terrified. He clung to the pillar with all his might, while simultaneously calling for help from the nanny who was nearby.
However, the nanny was so frightened that she was completely disoriented and didn't know what to do with her hands and feet, let alone care about Su Mu's life or death.
As time passed, the tearing pain on her scalp caused her hands and feet to slowly loosen uncontrollably.
In the end, Su Mu was dragged to the bedroom by Liao Nanxing.
Standing at the top of the stairs, Xu Xiuzhen raised her chin at Su Mu with a smug look on her face. "Little brat, trying to fight me is courting death!"
As the bedroom door slammed shut, Su Mu's screams became hoarse and desperate.
The nanny just stared blankly at the tightly closed bedroom door.
Every time the sound of the belt whipping through the air rang out, the nanny couldn't help but shudder.
Su Mu has been frequently beaten recently, but this terrifying commotion is the first time he has been beaten since being discharged from the hospital.
As Su Mu's painful screams grew fainter, the nanny couldn't help but worry that he might have been beaten to death.
Suddenly, something patted her shoulder.
The nanny then came to her senses.
Upon seeing that it was Xu Xiuzhen, she quickly bent down and lowered her head.
"Grandma, is there anything I can help you with?"
These days, Xu Xiuzhen set many rules for her.
I get up at 5 a.m. and go to bed at 10 p.m.
You can't make a sound between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., you can't even walk barefoot, and you have to hold back your cough.
She had no say in what she ate each day; it all had to be written down on paper and signed by Xu Xiuzhen before it could be prepared.
Even when speaking to her, one cannot be taller than her, let alone look directly at her.
You have to bend over and speak with utmost respect.
She really couldn't live like this for even a day longer.
Unfortunately, if she leaves before someone takes over, she won't get a single penny.
Every day she kept telling herself to endure it for the sake of her salary.
Hearing Xu Xiuzhen's "hmm," she looked up at the paper handed to her.
The sign said: What are you standing there for? Hurry up and cook. My husband will be tired from playing games and will definitely be hungry when he comes out. Take a piece of meat out of the fridge and stir-fry it. He needs to eat well after all that physical work.
Manual labor? Does this mean the vicious old woman is... committing domestic violence?
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the tightly closed bedroom door; she hadn't heard Su Mu's voice since earlier.
She couldn't help but worry that Su Mu might have been beaten to death.
Nodding, she quickly patted the child on her back and went downstairs.
At this moment, Su Mu was truly on the verge of death.
At this point, she could no longer feel any physical pain.
It was as if... as if her soul had separated from her body.
The feeling of weakness and powerlessness made her feel as if she were floating in the air.
She was thinking that perhaps she really was dead this time.
Slowly opening his eyes, he saw Liao Nanxing's ferocious face right in front of him.
Su Mu finally came to her senses. She twitched the corner of her mouth, surprised at how strong her vitality was. Even after all this, she hadn't been beaten to death by him.
Looking directly into Liao Nanxing's emotionless eyes, Su Mu smiled.
The man who once slept beside her, swore he would love her forever and pamper her like a princess, would actually treat her like this.
She regretted it; she really regretted it.
If she could go back in time, she would rather die than meet him again, and she would never foolishly fall in love with him.
Her heart ached terribly, as if it had been crushed and trampled.
What is so good about Liao Nanxing that makes me so foolish as to want to marry him regardless of everything?
Suddenly, she remembered Zhou Chunhua.
"If you choose the wrong partner in life, every step you take for the rest of your life will be a mistake. You will experience all the bitterness of life and be torn between choices. What matters most in a person is their character, their sense of responsibility and commitment, and the values and upbringing ingrained in them by their family of origin. So choosing who to marry really makes a difference."
Some people enter your life and make you feel that life is worthwhile; they become your light. Others, however, have only one purpose: to extinguish your light, making you feel that life is worthless, and that no matter how wonderful the world is, you wouldn't want to come back in your next life.
It turns out that Zhou Chunhua had already foreseen her tragic end back then.
