Chu Xing was about to speak again when the woman behind him quietly grabbed his hand.
Her hands were very cold, so cold that they had no warmth at all, and when she held his hand, it felt like a block of ice.
This time, she walked firmly in front of him, facing Song's mother and Zheng Yao directly.
“I’m an adult, almost thirty. I have my own judgment and I will take responsibility for my choices. I’ll say it one last time: I will not get a divorce. I have already repaid you many times over for the kindness you showed me in raising and giving me life. If you think that man is good, you can introduce him to someone else. It doesn’t have to be me. You will have to deal with the trouble you caused.”
As soon as she finished speaking, several girls around her couldn't help but applaud her.
"That's how it should be! If your family of origin is not good, you can make up for it through your own efforts and make sacrifices for your own family. But if you make sacrifices to a certain extent and your family of origin is still not satisfied and still has no conscience, then you can't let your family of origin drag you down for the rest of your life!"
"So cool! Girls should have confidence so they can handle anything without backing down!"
After saying these words, Song Mai suddenly felt a sense of relief.
It seemed that only now, she had personally untied the mental shackles binding her.
She held the man's hand tightly, the gloom in her eyes now completely gone, like sunshine breaking through a downpour.
"Let's go home!"
The man's heart stirred slightly, and the icy resolve in his eyes seemed to melt a little. At this moment, his phoenix eyes held a hint of tenderness, like a deep blue sea, drawing people into them.
"good."
The two walked away hand in hand, leaving Song's mother standing there cursing loudly.
"You heartless wretch! You're such an ingrate! I've wasted so many years raising you! You've abandoned your own mother for some random man, Song Mai, you'll regret this sooner or later!"
However, the surrounding crowd had gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people who were also preparing to leave, and no one listened to what Song's mother was saying anymore.
Zheng Yao's eyes flashed with hatred. She had once thought that Chu Xing was just playing around with Song Mai.
After all, it was obvious that Song Mai didn't know Chu Xing's identity, so she thought that even if she couldn't successfully snatch Chu Xing away from Song Mai, a woman like Song Mai wouldn't attract any man's interest, and it wouldn't be long before Chu Xing himself would lose interest in Song Mai.
By then, she will only need to use a few tricks to keep the man by her side.
But judging from the situation today, she misjudged the situation. It seems that Chu Xing is not entirely without feelings for that bitch Song Mai.
Based on the way he looked at her just now, Zheng Yao was certain that Song Mai was at least extraordinary in Chu Xing's heart.
That kind of look only appears when a man looks at the woman he loves.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yao dared not think any further.
She couldn't imagine whether she would have another chance if things continued to develop.
It seems she needs to do something before the situation escalates to an irreversible point.
The thug whose arm had just dislocated was now pale with pain. Clutching his dislocated arm, he said to Song's mother:
"I'm going to the hospital now, you're coming with me."
The matter hadn't been resolved, and Song's mother was already in a bad mood. Hearing him say that, she immediately replied irritably, "What does your going to the hospital have to do with me?"
The thug immediately objected, baring his teeth and saying, "I got injured because I was doing something for you. You have to take me to the hospital, pay my medical bills, and also compensate me for my recovery expenses and emotional distress!"
Upon hearing this, Song's mother immediately became furious.
Her brilliant plan failed because the two of them were too weak. They seemed so arrogant and powerful, but they couldn't even beat Chu Xing, that pretty boy.
If it weren't for them, how could her plan have failed?
"It's all because of you that my plan failed. I'm already being lenient by not asking you to compensate me for my losses, and you're asking me to compensate you for your losses instead? Don't even think about it!"
If these people were skilled enough, they could have easily taken Song Mai and Chu Xing away together. How could things have turned out like this?
If Liu Weiqiang knew that he had failed again, I wonder how angry he would be.
Moreover, without this opportunity, that brat Song Mai will probably be on guard next time, and it's impossible for things to go as smoothly as they did today.
The injured thug was in excruciating pain, and upon hearing Song's mother's words, he was instantly enraged.
He winked at another thug with dyed yellow hair next to him, and the man immediately walked towards Song's mother.
Song's mother was so frightened that her voice trembled, and she quickly backed away.
"What, what do you want to do!"
The thug grinned menacingly.
“We may not be able to beat that pretty boy, but we can easily handle an old lady like you! We brothers followed you here to help you out, and now we're injured because of you. You won't even pay for your medical bills. Do you think that's fair?!”
Song's mother was terrified. She had already missed her workday, and only a few pedestrians occasionally passed by.
Even if she cried for help, it's unlikely anyone would come to her rescue.
Terror filled his wrinkled face.
“You’re not doing this for me, you’re doing this for Weiqiang. If you’re injured, you should go to him. This has nothing to do with me.”
The thug clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.
“Our boss said that this is something you should have done well in the first place. You haven’t done it well, and our boss has given you a chance. We are just following the boss’s orders to help you. But we got injured while helping you. If you don’t take responsibility, who will?”
The blond-haired thug grabbed Song's mother and pulled her over.
"Since you're unwilling, why don't we go and have a good talk with the boss, and tell him that we didn't get things done today either?"
Song's mother was so frightened that she almost lost her voice, and it took her a long time to barely find her voice again.
"No, no, I'll go to the hospital with you, I'll pay for the medical expenses!"
After glancing at the injured thug, the blond-haired man laughed:
"You don't have to go to the hospital. Just pay us your medical expenses, recuperation expenses, and compensation for emotional distress, and you can leave."
Mother Song didn't want to stay with them for another second, and asked tremblingly:
How many do you want?
The injured thug gritted his teeth and said, "Not much, just give me twenty thousand."
"Twenty thousand? That's a lot!"
Song's mother couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
He only had a dislocated shoulder, yet he demanded 20,000 yuan. What is this if not extortion?
The blond-haired man crossed his arms and circled behind her, blocking her escape route.
"That's not much. My brother is so badly injured, this amount of money might not even be enough. This is all discounted for you."
