After enduring a long and torrent of accusations, Yan Dabiao wept bitterly, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for forgiveness. He offered up all his possessions, wishing he could get rid of his two ancestors and never appear before the mother and son again.
These two are devils! I never expected that Liu Wuyou himself was a devil.
After confirming that Yan Dabiao had been completely drained of his savings, Wuyou confined him to the woodshed, where he was left to suffer from hunger and cold. For a long time, so long that Yan Dabiao thought he would never see the light of day again.
After receiving warm greetings, Yan Dabiao remained silent, tears streaming down his face. He lay on the ground like a dead dog, the biting cold of the ground providing a welcome respite from the burning pain radiating from his body.
“Yan Dabiao, I’ll let you go tomorrow, but you should know what you should and shouldn’t do. If I find out…” Wuyou picked up the handkerchief Yan Rui handed him and slowly wiped his fingers. His fingers were slender with thin calluses, and there was a thumb-sized scar on the back of his hand, which Yan Dabiao had burned with a cigarette.
Her amorous peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on her face conveyed a blatant threat, as if she could give Yan Dabiao a quick death the next second if he didn't agree.
"I dare not... I dare not... I absolutely dare not tell anyone, and I will never appear in front of you again." Yan Dabiao shuddered, twisted his body, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly. The moisture in the corners of his eyes was hard to tell whether it was joy or fear.
“Not bad.” Wuyou looked at his palm and nodded slowly. “If you ever dare to show your face in front of me and Xiaorui again, I’ll cripple you and make you a cripple for the rest of your life.”
As she spoke, Wuyou clasped her hands together to form a knife, then lightly slid it across her neck. A beautiful smile still lingered on her lips, yet it sent chills down one's spine. Yan Dabiao was practically terrified; at this moment, Wuyou appeared to him as if possessed by a demon, ready to devour him at any moment.
This woman was telling the truth, not threatening anyone. This thought was incredibly strong in Yan Dabiao's mind.
Seeing Yan Dabiao's pathetic state, Wuyou's eyes flashed with deep disgust. She couldn't understand how Liu Wuyou could have fallen for such a man; he wasn't even worth a hair on Zhou Huaijin's head.
Thinking of Zhou Huaijin, a trace of pain and longing flashed in Wuyou's eyes, but she suppressed it and returned to her former indifferent demeanor.
"Get back to the woodshed right now!" Wuyou waved his hand casually, and Yan Dabiao immediately felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He scrambled back to the woodshed and hid behind the door, trembling with fear.
During this time, Wuyou completely stripped away all his former irritability and aggression. Although it hadn't been a long time, it felt like decades had passed. Seeing Wuyou, or even just hearing his voice, terrified him. He had nightmares every night, and even in his dreams, he was being bullied, beaten, and insulted.
She took a deep breath, looked up at the clear blue sky. The weather was sunny and warm, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle. Why let a scumbag get to her? Xiao Rui's friend was coming, and she had to treat him well and prepare to start a new life.
The friend Yan Rui mentioned was named Cheng Momo. Although she was the same age as Yan Rui, her circumstances were completely different. She came from a well-off family and was an only child. She was spoiled and pampered.
With her cute and delicate appearance and soft, sweet voice, all the children at school loved playing with her. Every day, she wore an exquisite princess dress and had her hair in braids, a stark contrast to the disheveled and thin Yan Rui—they were practically from two different worlds.
Logically, they shouldn't have had any interaction. However, an unexpected incident revealed Cheng Momo's kindness towards Yan Rui, leading Yan Rui to deeply accept her as a friend and regard her as an important person.
Cheng Momo was very surprised to receive Yan Rui's invitation. She opened her mouth slightly, tilted her head, and her rosy face was full of doubt as she spoke in a childlike voice.
"Xiao Rui, why don't you come to my house?" She didn't want to go to Yan Rui's house. She had heard that Yan Rui's father was a bad guy who would hit people. What if he hit her? He would be in pain, he would cry, and his parents would feel sorry for him.
Hearing Cheng Momo's words, Yan Rui's eyes darkened. Almost all his classmates knew about his family situation and always isolated and mocked him. Cheng Momo was the only one who was kind to him. Before leaving, the only person he wanted to say goodbye to was Momo.
"Don't worry, Momo, my dad won't hit me anymore. My mom is back, and she's very, very good to me." Thinking of the recent changes in her family, Yan Rui clenched her little fists, her face full of determination.
"Really? But didn't your mom run away and abandon you?" Cheng Momo's eyes widened slightly as she bit her finger, her face filled with disbelief.
"No, my mother isn't that kind of person." Yan Rui suddenly looked up, her eyes bloodshot, looking like an enraged little lion, as if she wanted to pounce and bite someone. Her mother was so good to her, how could she be that kind of bad woman? It's all just nonsense from outsiders—nonsense—
Cheng Momo was so frightened that she took two steps back, twisted her ankle, and fell to the ground. Her fair and tender palms scratched her skin on the small stones on the ground, and a trace of blood seeped out. When had the pampered little girl ever suffered such pain? She immediately burst into tears without caring about anything else.
"Waaaaah... Yan Rui, you're bullying me! Your mom clearly abandoned you, she's a bad woman. You're a bad guy too, how dare you bully Momo! Momo will never talk to you again."
Tears streamed down her face like broken beads. Cheng Momo's voice choked with sobs as she yelled at Yan Rui, leaving him flustered and unsure of what to do.
Cheng Momo was the school's little princess, and her crying quickly attracted a large crowd. Other children also criticized and gossiped about Yan Rui, filled with righteous indignation. Some impulsive children were even ready to rush up and fight to avenge the little princess.
Fortunately, the teacher arrived in time, preventing a scene. She held Cheng Momo and gently comforted her, while her eyes were full of reproach as she looked at Yan Rui.
The truth is, Cheng Momo always appeared gloomy and withdrawn to outsiders, far less likable and obedient than Cheng Momo. Naturally, the teacher's heart leaned towards Cheng Momo. Moreover, given the scene, with Cheng Momo sitting on the ground crying and Yan Rui standing there blankly, it was hard not to overthink things.
"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now! Cheng Momo, Yan Rui, I need to call your parents. You'll be coming to the office with me." Class teacher Ms. Li, her face stern, picked up Cheng Momo and walked away first. Yan Rui's face paled for a moment. He clearly didn't want to cause his mother any trouble, but he still did something wrong. His mother would definitely be very angry!
Cheng Momo, who happened to see Yan Rui's expression, laughed happily. Yan Rui is a big bad guy, and Yan Rui's father should teach him a lesson! Let him know how he dared to bully cute Momo.
