On a sunny afternoon, Liu Zi drove to the airport with a cheerful expression.
She felt reborn after getting rid of the scumbag and the bitch, and her heart was filled with longing for the future.
Her daughter just texted her; she's already left and needs to get to the airport early to wait for her.
The azure sky, the warm sunshine, the soothing soft music—everything was so harmonious and beautiful.
However, this tranquility was broken by a sports car that suddenly sped out from the side, its tires screeching against the ground, causing Liu Zi to frown.
She looked up and was somewhat surprised to see the familiar car.
Last year, she sold a very popular novel and bought her son, Zhao Gang, a sports car worth millions.
The license plate tells me it's him. What's he doing here?
Did you come to see her off?
Unlikely!
This brat once threatened that if she divorced his father, he would disown her as his mother.
Just as Liu Zi was puzzled, the driver's side window of the sports car rolled down, revealing Zhao Gang's crazy and wicked smile.
Liu Zi's heart skipped a beat; she felt as if she were being targeted by a vicious wolf.
Zhao Gang raised the corners of his lips, blew a kiss to Liu Zi, and then said something to her with exaggerated mouth movements.
Liu Zi still didn't understand what "Goodbye, Mom" meant.
She noticed that the sports car that had been driving alongside her had suddenly slowed down, and the scene in the rearview mirror made Liu Zi instantly terrified.
Zhao Gang increased the distance between the two cars, then suddenly accelerated and crashed into the rear of her car.
The vehicle Liu Zi was driving began to spin uncontrollably at high speed, and she screamed in fright.
The car crashed violently into the roadside railing. Liu Zi felt a tight pain in her chest as all the airbags deployed. The seatbelt tightened around her, making it hard for her to breathe.
The suffocating feeling of weightlessness brought her back to her senses in an instant. Only then did she realize that she had just driven onto an overpass. Fear and despair completely enveloped her. She struggled violently like a madwoman, but to no avail, until excruciating pain came and she was plunged into endless darkness.
"Breaking news from this newspaper: A major car accident occurred at 4 PM today on the Haicheng Airport Expressway. A white sedan driven by renowned playwright Liu Zi plummeted 30 meters from an elevated bridge, killing her instantly. According to sources, Liu Zi had just ended her marriage of 32 years this morning. Before the accident, she was en route to Hong Kong to reunite with her daughter. Our reporter at Hong Kong Airport captured photos of what appears to be Liu Zi's daughter weeping upon receiving the devastating news. Please see below for details."
...
"Mom, wake up! I'm hungry! Get up, don't sleep!"
In her dazed state, Liu Zi felt someone push her forcefully.
"Brother, Mom is still sleeping!" A slightly familiar child's voice whispered from the side to stop him.
"Get out of here, you good-for-nothing, I don't need you."
Liu Zi's eyelashes fluttered. Besides hearing the boy's arrogant shouts, she also heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
"Ouch...it hurts!"
The girl called out softly, and then there was no more sound.
Liu Zi was awakened by the noise. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar crystal chandelier on the ceiling, instantly stunned.
Why would there be crystal chandeliers in the underworld?
The style looks familiar!
No, this looks like the old villa where she used to live.
Wasn't that house demolished more than ten years ago?
what is going on?
Liu Zi propped herself up on her arms and looked around, feeling dizzy.
If she were still alive, wouldn't she be in the hospital right now?
Is she dreaming?
"Mom, get up and cook! I'm starving! Grandma says you're a lazy woman, and in the old days you'd be divorced."
The familiar child's voice interrupted Liu Zi's thoughts, bringing her back to her senses.
Liu Zi turned her head and saw a miniature version of Zhao Gang's face in front of her. Her physical disgust made her subconsciously push the person away.
Zhao Gang never expected that Liu Zi, who had always doted on him, would push him. He stumbled back a few steps, lost his balance, and fell to the ground.
"Why did you hit me? How dare you hit me! I'm going to tell Grandma and Dad, and they'll beat you to death!"
Zhao Gang was initially incredulous, then threw a tantrum and sat down on the ground, wailing and kicking his legs wildly.
This was a trick he learned from his grandmother when he was young, and it always allowed him to win.
Liu Zi then realized something was wrong; Zhao Gang had shrunk and looked only 6 or 7 years old.
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
Zhao Gang glared at Liu Zi with eyes full of hatred, his small fists pounding in her direction repeatedly.
Liu Zi pinched the back of her hand; it really hurt. She wasn't dreaming!
This scene is just like the one described in the novel; she has been reborn!
Liu Zi suddenly looked up at the calendar hanging on the wall: 1998!
She has traveled back 26 years!
After the initial shock, Liu Zi looked at Zhao Gang, who was still crying, with mixed feelings. She really wanted to ask him why he killed her.
What did she, as a mother, do wrong to him?
Just because she divorced her father?
"Mother!"
Just as Liu Zi was in great pain, a timid little voice called out to her from the side.
Liu Zi turned her head and saw that it was her daughter Zhao Qi.
She lovingly hugged her daughter into her arms. After so many years apart, she really missed her!
In her previous life, Liu Zi was on a business trip when her flight was delayed due to heavy fog. She had to rebook her flight and go home to wait for news.
She thus stumbled upon her husband's affair with her best friend, and the two of them rolled around and entangled in the bed she had chosen at great expense, locked in a passionate embrace.
Her best friend, Su Yao, had an affair with her husband, Zhao Qian.
Liu Zi leaned against the door frame, looking at the two people on the bed who together looked over a hundred years old. She felt dizzy and nauseous.
She mustered her strength, took a breath, took a picture of the two of them in bed, and then stumbled away.
The two people who had just finished in bed were awakened by the noise. They hurriedly dressed and went to chase after her, but Liu Zi was nowhere to be seen.
What followed was a protracted struggle that lasted for six months.
Zhao Qian refused to divorce.
Apologize, beg, kneel, coerce...
The methods are endless.
What chilled her to the bone was that her son Zhao Gang, whom she had doted on since childhood, sided with his father this time and advised her that it was too shameful to get a divorce at her age!
His dad just made a mistake that any man would make; we can just make him promise not to do it again.
Besides, her mother has been in the entertainment industry for years, living a glamorous life. Zhao Gang doesn't believe she's completely untouched by scandals; she just hasn't let them find out.
He's used his mother's status to sleep with several minor celebrities, and now he's just seized on his father's slightest mistake, and it's all made public. It's so ugly, what will outsiders think of them!
Liu Zi was utterly disappointed in her son Zhao Gang and didn't want to listen to his fallacies anymore.
She made up her mind that this time she was determined to get a divorce.
