At this moment, Su Mu was extremely calm and clear-headed.
It's like waking up suddenly after having a very long dream.
With her last bit of strength, she slowly crawled up and sat up.
Wherever the palm touched, a bloody handprint would be left.
She sat leaning against the corner of the wall, panting heavily.
As far as the eye could see, she was covered in blood, her white dress now stained crimson.
He looked up...at Liao Nanxing.
She slowly opened her mouth: "Let's...get a divorce."
"Divorce?" Liao Nanxing frowned.
He ground his back teeth, pressed his tongue against his canines, and wiped the bloodstains off his belt.
"You've ruined me like this, and you just want to walk away?"
When Liao Nanxing looked up, the fierce look in her eyes sent a chill down Su Mu's spine.
"I don't want anything. Money, house, children—they're all yours. You don't love me anymore. Let's let each other go."
When she recalled what Zhou Chunhua had said, the resentment in her heart suddenly disappeared.
She suddenly felt that it was really not worth wasting her future on this scumbag.
So she wanted to leave Liao Nanxing cleanly and decisively, just like Zhou Chunhua, to give herself a chance to stand in the sunlight again and live a good life.
The reason they didn't want anything was because Liao Nanxing had suffered setbacks at work, and they certainly wouldn't let her take a share of the money.
"Hehehe, hahahahaha..." Liao Nanxing covered his face and laughed.
The frantic voice made Su Mu curl up.
When Liao Nanxing opened his eyes again, there was a murderous intent in them.
"You made me leave with nothing, and now you've made me lose my only job, leaving me with nothing. And you actually want to walk away? Su Mu, where do you get the audacity to think you can have whatever you want and do whatever you want?"
Su Mu was completely shocked by those words.
She knew what "leaving with nothing," "losing her job," and "having nothing" meant, but why couldn't she understand it coming from Liao Nanxing's mouth?
It took Su Mu a long time to come to his senses.
"You... left with nothing?"
"Yes! In order to fulfill your wish to marry me openly and legitimately, I have to leave with nothing before she will be willing to sign the divorce papers."
Although Su Mu didn't want to admit that she was involved in this matter, she didn't want to have any more pointless arguments with Liao Nanxing.
Whatever he says goes.
Whether she forced it or she harmed it, it doesn't matter anymore.
“Even so, haven’t I already given you all the money I’ve saved over the years? I don’t want this money anymore, I’ll give it all to you as compensation. And the house and the children, I don’t want them either, I’ll give them all to you.”
"Huh? Hahahaha, Su Mu, listen to what you're saying!" Liao Nanxing looked around, looking dejected.
"This house...after tomorrow, it will belong to Zhou Chunhua. You may not know this, but if we're lucky, we'll still be living here after tomorrow."
I've tried my best, and this is barely enough for me to live here. And while I'm here, I also have to pay exorbitant property management fees. As for the money you gave me… Su Mu, that money was originally mine, okay?
Over the years, if I hadn't covered all your expenses and transferred money to you regularly, your meager salary wouldn't have been enough to save anything, let alone afford all those handbags you've bought! I'm just getting my money back!
He originally planned to use that money to bid for the villa himself during the third auction, so as to obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.
But... who would have thought that all the money would be spent on trending topics!
That damned Gu Yao! Even though he had no evidence, he just felt that Gu Yao was the one who did all those things!
Su Mu was so angry that she was breathing rapidly, but she didn't even dare to get angry in front of Liao Nanxing.
So he said cautiously, "What about the child? Didn't you and your mother always want a son? I risked my life to give you a healthy son. You can't say that I didn't contribute anything, can you?"
"So, if you agree to a divorce, I'll pay child support every month. Is that alright?"
Liao Nanxing laughed again: "Su Mu, you're so cunning! You dumped this burden on me so you could remarry smoothly. Your abacus beads are practically jumping in my face!"
Child support? That little bit of child support isn't even enough to hire a nanny, who's going to take care of such a young child? Me or my mother? Haha, don't think I don't know, you just want the child to wear me down so you can have some peace and quiet, get married, and live a happy and fulfilling life.
Then my mother lost me and had to go back to her hometown to farm. My son lost his father and went back to a life of hardship, eating coarse food and wild vegetables.
At this point, Liao Nanxing, dragging his leather belt which was congealed with blood and turned brown, walked up to Su Mu.
He crouched down and pinched Su Mu's chin with his hand.
"Su Mu, you've ruined me like this, do you think I'll let you get away with this?"
Su Mu's lips trembled, and his eyes, brimming with tears of fear, were filled with despair.
She always felt that Liao Nanxing wanted to kill her and end it all.
But she's still young, she doesn't want to die!
"I...I didn't...I'm not like what you said, I...I wouldn't..." She didn't know how to say it to soothe the murderous intent in Liao Nanxing's eyes.
Suddenly, Liao Nanxing released his grip on her chin.
He laughed and said, "Of course you won't, and I'm not going to give you that chance. I'm ruined, but you're not! From now on, you'll be the pillar of this family."
After saying that, he grabbed Su Mu's hair and dragged him onto the bed.
They pulled on the bindings and were about to tie Su Mu's hands together.
"No! No! Please let me go! Please let me go!" Su Mu struggled and pounded on the ground.
Liao Nanxing laughed: "Let you go? If we let you go, who will earn money for our family? If we let you go, will we starve? Let me tell you, if you behave yourself, I can let you suffer less. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Sensing something was amiss, Su Mu immediately bit down on Liao Nanxing's tiger's mouth.
Liao Nanxing, wincing in pain, abruptly pulled back his hand. Taking advantage of this opening, Su Mu grabbed the bandage and wrapped it around Liao Nanxing's neck.
"Su, Mu! You're so disobedient."
Before he could finish speaking, Liao Nanxing reached out and grabbed Su Mu's hair, bent his back and shoved Su Mu's shoulder, sending him flying.
He took the opportunity to straddle Su Mu's stomach and put his hand around Su Mu's neck.
"It seems I didn't hit you hard enough before, which is why you dared to resist me."
They pulled on some straps and quickly tied Su Mu up in a spread-eagle position.
Unable to contain his anger, he instinctively raised his belt and lashed it at Su Mu.
When a newly scabbed wound is injured again, the pain is exponentially greater.
Su Mu writhed in pain, wailing repeatedly.
However, at this moment, Liao Nanxing unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
For the first time in his life, he actually experienced a strange sense of exhilaration!
