But now everything is his. He sits there looking at her, his eyes probably filled with nothing but mockery.
“I am your biological mother, don’t you even know how to address me?” Li Ci didn’t want him to look down on her.
She was inferior to her father because of his status as a junior, but he was her son, so he had to accept whatever she said.
"Have I acknowledged you?" Wei Baichuan looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, who was completely different from the mother he had imagined.
She was too ugly.
“You…you selfish person do not deserve to enter our Li family. If I had known I would have given birth to someone like you, I should have strangled you. You are far inferior to Bowen.”
"God probably couldn't stand it anymore. Even if you were lucky enough to be born into my womb, He couldn't bear to see you living a good life."
Li Ci couldn't accept that her son was like this. He should be filial to her and do whatever she said, but he actually dared to contradict her.
His good life now is all thanks to her; without her, he is nothing.
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he wanted to take her place, so he coaxed her father into disowning her and made her lose her place in the family.
"Li Ci, if anyone regrets something, it's me. I should have strangled you when you were born."
Marshal Li threw the teacup in his hand with a "bang".
She was so angry she was panting. How could she be so heartless?
"Then why don't you strangle me? If you strangle me, he won't exist. He can still sit there like this, watching his own mother kneel down and beg for mercy. Aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"
Li Ci wanted to attack him with every vicious word she could think of; if she couldn't have a good time, neither could he.
“It’s the same whether you die now or not.” When Suti heard her say that Baichuan should have been strangled at birth, he thought of Huang Cuifen, who had also insulted Baichuan in the same way.
She dared not imagine how much pain Baichuan must be in; just thinking about it felt like a gaping wound had been torn open in her heart.
Upon hearing her mention shortening one's lifespan, Suti could no longer contain herself and rushed into the kitchen to grab a cleaver.
"You die, you die right now! You're such a fool, you're just wasting air by living."
As Suti spoke, he rushed over to Li Ci and actually slashed down.
"daughter in law!"
"Su girl!"
The people inside were terrified. Several people quickly stood up to protect the person, while Li Ci over there jumped up in fright.
Using all her speed, she dodged incredibly fast. Su Ti was caught by Wei Baichuan, but she still managed to throw the knife out of her hand.
It crashed right at Li Ci's feet, just a hair's breadth away, and everyone was terrified.
"Honey, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm fine, I'm perfectly okay, I'm not sad, I'm not upset."
Wei Baichuan hurriedly tried to comfort her. He knew how much his wife cared about him, and he didn't take those words to heart.
But his wife definitely couldn't stand it; he wasn't paying attention for a moment, and she almost hurt herself.
Thinking of this, he looked at Li Ci with hatred in his eyes. His wife was pregnant, and if anything happened to her, he would definitely kill her.
"You...you're a madman! Is this the country bumpkin you married? You don't deserve to marry someone like that."
Li Ci's voice trembled as she hurriedly hid behind Qi Bowen, but she continued to speak relentlessly.
"I can go even crazier. If you dare to say another bad word about Baichuan, I will definitely take your life."
Suti leaned against Wei Baichuan and saw that his eyes were red, so she knew he must be heartbroken.
Little did she know that Wei Baichuan was only acting out of desperation because of her.
"Hmph, as expected of someone from the countryside. I'm your mother-in-law, and let me tell you, I don't recognize a daughter-in-law like you. What is your status? What is the status of the Li family? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? Do you even deserve it?"
Li Ci dared not say anything more about Wei Baichuan, but she was unwilling to give up, so she could only keep arguing back at Su Ti.
"Hmph, your Li family? Do I need to explain your relationship with the Li family? Only you are shameless enough not to admit it. Who else would tell you I'm from the countryside?"
“My maternal grandfather was the commander of the Shanghai Military Region, my father held an important position in Shanghai, you are the only daughter of the old marshal, as was my mother. When my uncles sacrificed their lives for the country, you were still nowhere to be found.”
"You are the only one, and I am the only one. Who is more noble than whom? You dare to touch me? My grandparents, my parents, and my brother will chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
"You still don't acknowledge me as your daughter-in-law? Don't you even consider whether you're qualified to be my mother-in-law!"
When it comes to family background, Su Ti has never lost. Wei Baichuan wouldn't dare to face her, but she's not afraid.
The room was completely silent, and Li Ci was so stunned that he could hardly stand up.
She looked at her father, and from his eyes, she could tell that what she said was true.
So what is she so proud of? Her family is well-off, but other people's families are not bad either, and they even have both now, while she has nothing.
“No matter what…no matter what, I am your elder.” Li Ci’s voice weakened, and she didn’t dare to look Su Ti in the eye.
"What elder? You didn't think of Baichuan as an elder when you mentioned him. I really want to ask you, what happened to you at your age?"
"Instead of trying to make amends to your own son, you've been completely fooled by a counterfeit. Instead of feeling remorse for all the years of hard work you've put in, you're focused on this counterfeit."
“Look around and see if he’s worth it. His biological parents schemed against you, making you unable to have children and depriving you of the right to be a mother for the rest of your life.”
"They abused your own son, yet you cherished and protected the son of your enemy. After learning the truth, you became even more out of your mind, protecting the fake with all your heart."
"But a fake is a fake. Open your eyes and take a good look. Is the little beast born of that beast standing next to you really someone you can rely on?"
“Your father was heartbroken for you. Even severing ties didn’t make you repent. You might even feel that Baichuan’s appearance disrupted your peaceful life.”
"Someone like you who can't distinguish right from wrong, who likes to be fawned over, is putting on this show today just so you can continue living a good life. But do you deserve it?"
“Let me tell you, it’s not that you abandoned Baichuan, it’s that we don’t want you. You are not worthy of being Baichuan’s mother, not worthy of being my mother-in-law, and not worthy of being our elder.”
Su Ti unleashed his full power, and apart from Wei Baichuan looking at the person protecting him with admiration, everyone else had complicated expressions.
A frail granddaughter-in-law?
A delicate and gentle daughter-in-law?
A naive girl from the countryside?
Everyone present fell silent. It must have been their imagination. They all stared wide-eyed at Suti, afraid of missing something.
A side note—
Someone mentioned the name issue. I'm used to typing with the name Wei Baichuan, so changing my name will be fine as long as everyone knows.
If I suddenly change the name, will everyone be unaccustomed to it? If everyone thinks Wei Baichuan is not good, I will change it to Li Baichuan from now on?
