Chapter 23 If you can't beat them, ruin them.



Su Mu's eyes reddened.

What Zhou Chunhua had endured humiliation and hardship for so many years without obtaining, she got easily.

What about all her sacrifices over the years? What about all the grievances she's suffered over the years?

She has already surpassed Zhou Chunhua, so why does this kind of good fortune only fall on her?

Since she's been treated so unfairly, she should get justice for herself!

If Zhou Chunhua has something she doesn't, then she'll take it all from her.

After taking a deep breath, return the phone to Liao Nanxing.

"Anan, who is this Juliana? Why is she trying to sow discord between you and your master's wife?"

Mentioning Julianna made Liao Nanxing rub his temples in exasperation.

“Zhou Chunhua’s high school classmate. I heard that Zhou Chunhua saved her. Who knows?”

"The first time I met Juliana was when she caused a scene at the school because he hadn't married Zhou Chunhua." Looking back, that was the first time in his life he'd been so humiliated.

"She made a huge scene, so I had to host a few extra tables. Who knew that this Juliana would threaten me in front of so many colleagues and relatives, saying that if I dared to treat Zhou Chunhua badly, she would come and beat me up no matter where she was in the world."

Therefore, he was more afraid that Zhu Lina would bring up his affair with Su Mu at school than Zhou Chunhua.

Damn it!

If he had known that Zhou Chunhua had such a person by her side, he would have stayed far away from her long ago.

"It sounds like their relationship is more than just friendship, doesn't it?" Su Mu blinked her innocent eyes, like a curious child.

"She's just a shrew, I don't want to bother with her..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liao Nanxing's phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was coming from the school.

After hanging up the phone, he glanced worriedly at his mother in the hospital bed.

When I dialed Zhou Chunhua's number again, it was already switched off.

He had no choice but to say to Su Mu, "Mu Mu, the school wants me to go back for a meeting. Can you take the day off and stay here with Mom?"

Su Mu frowned.

It wasn't about asking for leave or not; it was that she didn't want to be alone with Xu Xiuzhen for even a minute.

But……

She couldn't let Liao Nanxing feel that he couldn't do without Zhou Chunhua.

Let's be tolerant for now.

"It's alright, you go ahead. I'll keep an eye on things here. When you get to school later, please tell the director for me."

Liao Nanxing responded and left without looking back.

Su Mu, supporting his back, sat down on the chair next to him with a cold face.

Xu Xiuzhen had no choice but to fall ill at this crucial moment of Liao Nanxing's divorce; what bad luck!

A doctor came out of the ward, and she quickly chased after him.

"Doctor, is there any chance that Xu Xiuzhen's illness can be cured?"

Seeing the doctor looking her over, she quickly explained, "I am Xu Xiuzhen's family member."

The doctor opened the medical record in his hand.

"Stroke is what heart disease patients fear most, and her condition is quite serious. With subsequent rehabilitation exercises, there is still a possibility of recovery."

Su Mu was dumbfounded. Was there any difference between saying it and not saying it?

"Doctor, how long will she stay in the hospital? Also, she's paralyzed on one side now, will she be able to take care of herself in the future?" After saying that, she realized she had said the wrong thing in her haste and quickly explained, "What I meant was, if she can't take care of herself, I can hire a caregiver."

"It's not certain yet, but you family members can't leave her alone again. If it happens again, even a miracle won't save her." The doctor finished speaking and walked away without looking back.

As soon as Su Mu sat back down on the bench, he felt the stares of others.

Looking up, I saw the two nurses who had been following the doctor earlier whispering to each other after avoiding eye contact.

"You're saying she's a mistress? But I heard from Xiao Zhang that this old lady was mistreated terribly by her daughter-in-law. They said the old lady was sick and they wouldn't give her any food, only instant noodles."

She also said her daughter-in-law was violent and frequently abused her and her son. She claimed that her recent hospitalizations, including the last time she was rushed to the hospital for a heart attack, were all caused by her daughter-in-law.

"Really? Is her daughter-in-law a shrew? So fierce?"

"And there's something even more shocking! Xiao Zhang said that the old lady's daughter-in-law is infertile, so she wants to use her goddaughter's womb to give her husband a son."

But how could that young woman agree to that? So she sabotaged both her husband and the young woman; look at that belly.

"Seriously? They didn't even call the police for something like this?"

"I heard that the old lady begged the young girl for a long time, and the young girl had to endure this humiliation because she had received financial support from the old lady's son for many years. But do you know what happened next that was even more shocking?"

"Is there anything even more explosive?"

"What's even more shocking, according to Xiao Zhang, is that her son finally couldn't take it anymore and asked his wife for a divorce. Her daughter-in-law then turned the tables and accused the old lady's son of having an affair with this girl, and even said that the girl had seduced her husband."

That's why the wife confronted the mistress in the hospital ward that day. Xiao Zhang also said that her son gave her daughter-in-law 300,000 yuan, but her daughter-in-law still refused to divorce him, insisting that the old lady's son leave with nothing.

"My God! There are people who deserve to be struck by lightning..."

As the two walked away, Su Mu turned his head blankly to look at the intensive care unit.

Although it's unclear what Xu Xiuzhen's mysterious move was—she couldn't beat Zhou Chunhua, so she ruined Zhou Chunhua's reputation for a moment of pleasure?

However… the fiercer their fight, the happier she felt. If they managed to kill each other, she'd have to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

...

That very evening, Zhou Chunhua was moved.

Everyone else moves in with just their bags, but she was carried in by Juliana.

Even her daily necessities, Juliana bought her all new ones.

Juliana said this signifies that she is not going back on her path and is embracing a completely new life.

To celebrate her escape from misery, Juliana took her out for a big meal, milk tea, and a movie.

While Zhou Chunhua and Zhu Lina were laughing so hard in the movie theater, Liao Nanxing and Su Mu were arguing heatedly.

This story begins after Liao Nanxing was called back to school by that phone call...

Back at school, he was so busy he barely had time to breathe, but he also had to find time to call and comfort Su Mu, and take care of Su Mu's feelings.

After finally getting a chance to catch her breath at noon, she still had to drive a long way to buy Su Mu the lunch she wanted and then deliver it to the hospital.

Driving for more than an hour round trip left me exhausted, not to mention I didn't even have time to eat.

After finishing his work in the afternoon, he rushed to the hospital again after buying some food.

Then the two of them awkwardly ate something in the hospital corridor.

The nauseating smell of disinfectant and Su Mu's occasional morning sickness completely killed his appetite.

He put down his chopsticks and said, "Mumu, you should take a taxi home as soon as possible. I'll stay here and watch over you."

Su Mu paused.

"You...you want me to go back?"

"You can't stay up late! I have to go to work early tomorrow morning."

"no……"
