Chapter 187 Slashing Her Face
At noon, my mother prepared a rich meal.
She and Aunt Yang had endless things to talk about, and I could only be a listener most of the time. It felt like going back to my childhood, when I was watching Xu Zhengnan and my mother and Aunt Yang were chatting nearby while they were watching TV in the living room.
"Zhengnan...are you still not planning to go back?" Suddenly, my mother asked in a low voice.
Aunt Yang was stunned, her expression became solemn, she sighed helplessly, "No, I can't convince him, Lao Li, please help me persuade him too."
My dad shook his head. "There's nothing to persuade him. Zhengnan is a child with his own ideas. Besides, he doesn't rely on his family, but he still thrives on his own. This is a skill. If he relies on his family's background, he will lack the tempering. He hasn't been in contact with that place since he was a child. In addition, the people there have this attitude towards you. It's normal for him to refuse to go back. You did the right thing in raising this son. In his heart, his mother is the most important thing."
I had a vague idea of what they were talking about.
It’s probably that the Xu family wants Xu Zhengnan to go back and take over some of the family business.
Because of Aunt Yang, Xu Zhengnan's father had a big falling out with his family and tried to make a name for himself. Xu Zhengnan seemed to have inherited his father's character and mind, he is very smart, courageous and action-oriented.
The Xu family did not have many descendants. Xu Zhengnan had only an older brother and a younger sister. His brother gave birth to two daughters, and his sister gave birth to a son and a daughter. He and Aunt Yang only had one son, Xu Zhengnan.
Regardless of the disputes of the previous generation, the old people in the Xu family still hope that Xu Zhengnan can return. The older generation has some feudal traditional ideas in their hearts and thinks that such a large asset in the family should be handed over to their grandson.
My mother told me these a long time ago. At that time, Xu Zhengnan was still studying. The Xu family had long seen his potential and would send people to pick him up from time to time. He refused most of the time, but occasionally agreed.
"He can have a better development if he goes back. If he stays with me, I can't give him anything, and my health will be a burden to him." Aunt Yang said with a wry smile.
It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. Even though the Xu family had disliked her so much in the past, she would still choose to forgive for the sake of Xu Zhengnan's future and interests.
I drank my tea and felt a little bitter.
After chatting for a while, it was already dark. I planned to stay at home. Aunt Yang also wanted to stay here for two days. Anyway, it was not far from Xu Zhengnan's home, so I could go there anytime I wanted.
"Xiaoyue, come with me to the supermarket and buy some New Year's goods." My mother said to me after putting on her coat and wrapping her scarf around her neck.
I said, "Okay."
My mother, Aunt Yang, and I took Li Qingming to a nearby supermarket, while my father prepared a meal and waited for us at home.
After I drove to the nearest supermarket, my mother and Aunt Yang went shopping, and I took Li Qingming to find an amusement park to play. This is the kind of place that children love the most.
When I was having a great time playing with Li Qingming, there was someone behind me.
"Ma'am, long time no see." Lu Xiaoyun's voice was eerie, like a female ghost.
I turned around and saw Lu Xiaoyun's face so close to me. I took two steps back and immediately went to see where Li Qingming was, worried that something had happened to him. But at this moment, Li Qingming was gone.
I didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Xiaoyun. I wanted to go find Li Qingming, but she grabbed my sleeve tightly and said, "Don't leave!"
"Let go!" I shook her hand off with all my strength and looked at her with disgust. "If you touch me again, don't blame me for slapping you!"
Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with hatred. "You are the one who should be slapped, Li Yue, do you know why I am looking for you?"
Before I could react, she suddenly took out a utility knife from her bag and said frantically, "You killed my child. You can't have a child yourself, so you want to make me unable to have a child. I tried every way to get you to see me, but you didn't come out. Now you know to go out to play with your dead brother? Haha."
Alarm bells were ringing in my heart.
Lu Xiaoyun's target was not me. She rushed to a place not far away with a utility knife. Li Qingming appeared from nowhere and was playing on the seesaw.
Seeing this scene, my heart was in my throat. I rushed over like crazy and grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's hand. She was thrown to the ground by me, and the utility knife in my hand cut her face while twisting its shape.
Lu Xiaoyun let out a shrill scream, "Ah! My face!"
When I ignored the injury on my neck and held down Lu Xiaoyun tightly, a hand behind me violently pulled me away and threw me to the ground. I fell to the ground and looked up to see the faces of Meng Zicheng and Su Ying.
Meng Zicheng looked at me angrily, "Li Yue, you are so vicious!"
"Yes, although Xiaoyun has done you wrong, she has already apologized and the child is gone. Do you still want to ruin her face? Li Yue, I didn't realize you were so vicious before. Is that kind look just an act?" Su Ying took out a tissue to wipe the blood off Lu Xiaoyun's face, looking at me with contempt and disgust.
Lu Xiaoyun touched the blood on her face and cried with tears, "Don't blame Madam, it's me who deserves death. It's my fault that I look too much like her, which made President Shen change her mind. It's reasonable for her to want to disfigure me. I'll do it myself!"
As she said that, she picked up the blood-stained utility knife and stabbed the other side of her face.
Meng Zicheng quickly stopped her, his eyes full of sympathy, and then pointed at me, "That's enough, Li Yue, you refused to be with Brother Xiao and betrayed him, what qualifications do you have to blame Xiao Yun?!"
"Meng Zicheng, if it weren't for me, you and Shen Yixiao would have died under the sticks of others long ago. You have no right to yell at me." The wound on my neck was aching slightly. Li Qingming ran over and hugged me. I bent down and patted his head to comfort him, but my eyes were looking at Meng Zicheng coldly.
Meng Zicheng frowned, "How long are you going to use those old stories to blackmail me? I didn't ask you to save me. It was Brother Xiao who saved me. You just went to save him. Besides, Brother Xiao has saved you many times. Let's be even. Don't keep talking about those trivial things. It seems so low-class."
Su Ying snorted, "That's right, you always bring up the time when you took care of me in high school. Is that interesting? Didn't you just help me recharge my meal card a few times, and took me in a few times? I also supported you and Shen Yixiao, so why don't you repay me!"
These two people are really a perfect match, like rotten fish and rotten shrimp.
There is no point in continuing to talk, and it will affect other people, so I took Li Qingming's hand and prepared to leave.
But Su Ying reached out to stop me, "Want to leave? You scratched someone's face, that's intentional injury, don't even think about leaving until it's resolved!"
Li Qingming was so scared that his face turned pale, but he still stood in front of me and opened his little arms, "Don't bully my sister!"
