"I don't know what this girl is thinking. Why not enjoy a good life instead of keeping a gigolo? I just don't believe that gigolo can be better than Liu Weiqiang."
Sister-in-law Song Mai has always held a grudge about this matter.
If Song Mai hadn't refused to divorce her, would she be so upset now?
Liu Weiqiang has warned us several times that if things continue like this, our peaceful lives will be over.
The original plan to buy a house and a car was completely shelved due to Song Mai's lack of cooperation, and the money is now still in the hands of Song's parents.
She asked Song Mai's brother to ask for it several times, but he was a good-for-nothing and failed to get it after several attempts.
She had hinted and suggested it several times, but those two old geezers just wouldn't hand over the money, saying they had to wait until everything was settled before they would.
The money was delayed, which made Sister-in-law Song Mai unable to sleep soundly at night.
Song's mother glanced at the door, her face grim.
“She’s moved out on her own now and doesn’t listen to me anymore. If she had dared to disobey me like this a few years ago, I would have killed her long ago. Anyway, I’m not here to discuss this with her. She has to agree whether she wants to or not. When she has a good life in the future, she will naturally thank me!”
As shrewd as a shrew, seeing that Song's mother had made up her mind, Song Mai's sister-in-law immediately took her arm affectionately and said, "Mom, what are your plans?"
On the other side of the door, Song Mai felt as cold as iron.
Thinking of Old Master Chu's love and care for her, Chu Xing's concern for her, and Lin Ran's protection for her, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart again.
They are family members who are related by blood, but they are treated worse than a group of strangers.
Strangers might care about her, but her family not only ignored her, but also acted like a group of vampires, only knowing how to benefit from her, and even selling her when they couldn't get anything in return.
What do they take her for?
If you don't care about her and hate her so much, why did you give birth to her in the first place?
Meanwhile, Song's mother's voice rang out again from the other side of the door: "I've already spoken with Weiqiang. He and his men are lying in ambush downstairs. When that brat Song Mai shows up, if she listens to our advice, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her first thing tomorrow morning to get a divorce. If she doesn't know what's good for her..."
At this point, a sinister glint flashed in Song's mother's eyes.
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless as her mother. I'll just have Weiqiang forcibly take her away and lock her up for a day and a night. If she still doesn't behave, I'll lock her up for two days and two nights. There will come a time when she behaves!"
These words made Song Mai's heart sink heavily.
A bitter smile crept across her lips.
This is something a mother would do to her daughter.
So ruthless, so vicious.
This isn't a mother; she's clearly a human trafficker.
The only difference is that human traffickers sell other people's children, but she's about to sell her own daughter.
Fortunately, she heard it today. What if she hadn't asked for leave and had insisted on going to work today?
Given her current physical condition and state, she has absolutely no chance of fighting back.
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Song Mai couldn't help but give Song's mother a thumbs up.
"It has to be you; experience counts."
"Of course, do you think I'm not good enough to handle a little girl at my age? Compared to her, our whole family is more important."
"Mom, you are so kind. From now on, Mai Zi's brother and I will take good care of you both."
...
Song Mai leaned against the door, feeling as if a wad of cotton was stuck in her chest, making it very difficult for her to breathe.
Yes, they are family, and she is just an outsider.
Song's mother and Song Mai's sister-in-law waited and waited at the door, but Song Mai had been off work for an hour and still hadn't come back.
Liu Weiqiang was getting impatient. He stormed to Song Mai's door and glared at Song's mother with his triangular eyes. The fierce look in his eyes softened Song's mother's previously confident demeanor, and her voice even trembled slightly.
"Are you guys playing a trick on me? Is she coming or not?"
Sister-in-law Song Mai smiled and said, "She's definitely coming back. Where could she go if she lives here? Maybe she was working overtime, which is why she's coming back late tonight. Let's wait a little longer."
Liu Weiqiang snorted coldly, his sinister eyes sweeping over the two men:
"You'd better get this done today, or I will absolutely not let your Song family off the hook!"
Upon hearing this, Song's mother quickly replied, "We will do our best, we will definitely do our best to get things done."
Song Mai leaned against the door and listened for a long time without daring to breathe.
If they find out he's home, Liu Weiqiang will probably lead his men in and storm in.
By then, she really wouldn't have any other options.
She took off her slippers and walked barefoot back to the bedroom.
She was so focused on what was happening outside the door that she forgot to check Chu Xing's message.
The woman opened WeChat and realized that Chu Xing hadn't sent her any messages.
This proves he'll be home early tonight for dinner.
Song Mai sent him another message to confirm: "Are you coming home for dinner?"
A short while later, the man replied with a message, still a short line, concise and to the point: Reply, no need to prepare, I bought two meals from outside.
Seeing this line would have warmed Song Mai's heart on a normal day, since she had considered that Song Mai was sick and bought her food to bring back.
However, the current situation is not a good thing.
She hid in the bathroom and dialed the man's number.
A deep, masculine voice rang out, and perhaps because the atmosphere was too tense, Song Mai's heart skipped a beat the moment she heard his voice.
Where are you?
"We're almost downstairs, what's wrong?"
Song Mai fell silent for a moment, not expecting him to come back so early today.
The woman's silence piqued the man's curiosity: "What happened? Or is there something I need to take back?"
Song Mai swallowed hard: "Could you please not come back for now?"
She didn't know if Liu Weiqiang would recognize Chu Xing, since the two of them had hardly ever met, but that didn't matter. Even if Liu Weiqiang didn't stop him at the stairwell, he would know exactly who Chu Xing was once he reached the door.
The man's voice suddenly became more alert and deeper.
"What happened?"
Song Mai never told him about her family in detail, nor did she explain why she had rushed into marriage with him.
In short, he didn't ask her and he didn't say anything, and in the current situation, she couldn't explain it clearly.
"There are special circumstances, and things are complicated. Anyway, find a place outside and wait for a while. I will explain it to you in detail when you come back after things have calmed down."
After saying that, he heard a noise outside the door. Song Mai hurriedly hung up the phone without saying anything more.
Chu Xing held his phone with a deep frown.
He didn't know what had happened, but a premonition told him that Song Mai seemed to be in trouble.
