With disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, Su Mu now looked like a ghost with a ferocious expression.
The baby's cries tugged at Liao Nanxing's heartstrings.
The property manager, who had been observing from the sidelines, rushed in and advised, "Professor Liao, your wife is emotionally unstable. Why don't you take her away first?"
"What's it to you? What right do you have to make my son send me away? This house was bought by my son, so I have the right to live here! If you want to send someone away, send her away!"
Xu Xiuzhen became agitated and grabbed at the property manager, trying to push him away.
The property manager remained in front of Xu Xiuzhen, continuing to persuade her: "Madam, this is a matter of life and death! You're in a fit of anger right now. If something really happens to Madam Liao and your grandson, it will be too late for you to regret it!"
Unable to push the person away, Xu Xiuzhen poked her head out and yelled at Su Mu inside, "Su Mu! Who are you trying to impress? Who are you trying to scare? If I had known you were such an ill-mannered person, I shouldn't have kept your relationship with Nanxing a secret from Zhou Chunhua!"
"A whore like you, born of a mother but without any upbringing, a destroyer of other people's families, should have died long ago! Go die! Go die! If you're so tough, stop posing here and just die! Die!"
"I'm ill-mannered, but you, Xu Xiuzhen, are? You helped your son cheat on his wife, bullied your daughter-in-law, ruined her reputation, and encouraged your son to divorce her. Didn't you do all of that?"
How dare you mention Zhou Chunhua? You enjoy her service and yet bully her, going around telling everyone she's a barren hen, a hindrance to your family line. Is this your upbringing?!
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiuzhen sneered, "I didn't force her, she did it willingly! Hey! That's my son's skill! Let me tell you, Su Mu, if you can't be as obedient and filial as Zhou Chunhua, you either divorce my son or die sooner!"
Take the little one in your arms with you! With genes like that, you can't produce anything good! You think you can have a son and rule over me? Dream on!
With just a word from me, there are plenty of women willing to have children for my son! Go to hell, just die already!
"mom!"
Liao Nanxing couldn't stand it anymore, and the property manager also pushed Xu Xiuzhen back.
"Madam, please stop upsetting Mrs. Liao."
Xu Xiuzhen glared at Liao Nanxing and slapped the property manager across the face.
"Get out of my way! What business is it of yours what we do with our family affairs? Oh! Could it be that you and that vixen Su Mu..."
"Mom!" Liao Nanxing interrupted, "Su Mu is my wife and your daughter-in-law. Can you please stop spouting nonsense and consider my situation?"
“Xu Xiuzhen, did you see that? Your son wants me and the child, but not you! If you know what’s good for you and don’t cause trouble, you can still have a rental house. If you keep making a scene like this, I’ll make sure your son doesn’t even let you have a rental house, and I’ll make you live under a bridge, eat garbage, and starve to death on the streets.”
Xu Xiuzhen was dumbfounded. Tears streamed down Liao Zhouxing's face as she watched his lips tremble.
"Son, is what she said true? So you bought this house here without telling me, and even took your salary card? Liao Nanxing! I'm your mother! I gave you my whole life, raised you and gave you life! How could you abandon your mother for a woman like this?"
"Liao Nanxing! Think carefully before you speak. You know what kind of person your mother is! She's already made you divorce once, do you want to divorce again for her sake?"
Today, you choose between me and your daughter, or your wicked mother!
"Enough!" Liao Nanxing roared uncontrollably, "Can't you two stop arguing and have a few peaceful days?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the child in Su Mu's arms cried even louder, waving his little hands and feet as if someone had pinched him.
Liao Nanxing looked at the child, then at Su Mu.
"Anan, this is your decision, isn't it? You want her, but not me and our son, right? Fine, fine! I'll grant your wish!" Su Mu said resolutely, pressing the knife against his own neck towards the child in his arms.
"Su Mu! You should have died long ago, but what did the child do wrong? We can't control whether you die or not! But the child has to be given to me!" Xu Xiuzhen struggled to grab the child.
"Mom! Can you please stop talking!"
In a moment of desperation, Liao Nanxing shoved Xu Xiuzhen away with such force that Xu Xiuzhen fell to the ground.
Ignoring Xu Xiuzhen, he turned to Su Mu and said softly, "Mu Mu, don't be like this. Put down the knife. I'll listen to whatever you say. I promise you, I'll send her to a nursing home. If you don't want to see her, I promise she'll never appear in front of you again."
For Liao Nanxing, this was the best way to appease Su Mu.
But these words, when they reached Xu Xiuzhen's ears, felt like sharp knives aimed at her.
She stumbled to her feet, her laughter utterly desolate.
Looking at Su Mu, she knew she had lost; her beloved son had stabbed himself with a knife.
At that moment, Xu Xiuzhen suddenly thought of Zhou Chunhua.
I remembered Zhou Chunhua, who would cook delicious meals for her every day, accompany her on walks, and take care of her in every possible way.
At that time, she said that if Zhou Chunhua went east, she would never go west. Her son was also a well-known filial son.
In the family compound, everyone envied her for having a home where there was never any quarrel.
What a wonderful daughter-in-law! She was actually kicked out of the house by her own hands!
However, there is everything in this world except for the medicine to undo regrets.
No matter how much she regretted it, she could never go back to the way things were before. She wiped away her tears.
"Son, in all my life, I've always put you first. I'd rather go three days without eating a single meal just so you could have something to eat, and I've never complained."
You said you wanted to study, so I sold my blood and begged money from door to door. Even if you leave me for another woman today, I won't blame you.
After saying that, Xu Xiuzhen glared fiercely at Su Mu.
"Don't force my son! From the day he was born, I was prepared to die for him! You just want me to die, right? I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, Xu Xiuzhen turned around and rammed her head against the pillar at the door.
Liao Nanxing turned around to chase after him, but slipped and fell.
"No! Mom!"
Before she could finish speaking, Xu Xiuzhen collapsed to the ground with a thud.
A bloodstain was left on the stone pillar, and blood was streaming down his forehead.
Xu Xiuzhen, lying on the ground, smiled at Liao Nanxing, her lips moving slightly.
"Son, Mom wishes you... happiness." As the voice faded, Xu Xiuzhen closed her eyes.
Clang!
The fruit knife in Su Mu's hand fell to the ground at his feet.
She stared in disbelief at the motionless Xu Xiuzhen.
It’s over!
If Xu Xiuzhen really dies here, then her relationship with Liao Nanxing will come to an end.
This shouldn't be happening. How did it suddenly turn out like this?
"Su Mu! Are you satisfied now!"
