Beneath her long, slightly curled eyelashes, her dark, deep, icy eyes stared intently at Yang Qiuxia.
"Yang Qiuxia, you've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, haven't you?"
"Should I go to the police and help you remember?"
Yang Qiuxia's face turned pale with fright. If this really escalated to the police station, she would be completely finished!
She climbed out of the water tank with a splash and crawled over on her hands and feet.
Just as she was about to get closer, Gu Chengfeng stopped her first, his menacing gaze sending a shiver down her spine.
"No, please let me explain..."
Gu Chengfeng frowned impatiently. If he had known that this woman would harm Sisi again and again, he should have investigated the matter thoroughly last time.
"You should talk to the police if you have something to say!"
Gu Chengfeng turned around decisively, his long, straight back blocking out all the light.
He reached out and put his arm around Chen Sisi's shoulder: "Let's go home..."
Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and call out to his formidable mother: "Mom, what are you standing there for? Go back too."
Xu Hongying's body trembled violently. Had she heard correctly? Her son had finally remembered her and was even asking her to come home.
She sensed something different about Gu Chengfeng, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Overjoyed, she turned and left.
As she left, she glanced at the latrine brush in her hand and casually tossed it at Yang Qiuxia's house.
Yang Qiuxia was terrified. Her heart sank. It was all over.
She was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat, and the cold wind made her stagger and fall to the ground...
The matter quickly reached the political commissar of the military region.
That afternoon, several groups of people came and questioned them separately, and took notes. The matter became quite a big deal.
Chen Wenzhong was attending a meeting in the provincial capital when he suddenly received the news, which nearly made him furious; he even smashed his cup.
This woman is always causing trouble; I can't live like this anymore.
He canceled the afternoon meeting and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bunch of gifts.
A large pig's leg, a pound of brown sugar, a bottle of Maotai liquor, a can of malted milk powder, and other items such as rice, flour, and oil were brought by the guards, who personally visited Shen Sisi to apologize.
But they were turned away!
There's no one in their family at all!
Chen Wenzhong waited in the cold wind for two hours, until it got dark, but they still didn't return.
It seems they are determined not to let Yang Qiuxia go.
He left his things at the door, turned around and went to the hospital, where he dragged Yang Qiuxia off the hospital bed.
"You still have the nerve to lie here? Go apologize to them right now."
Yang Qiuxia was frightened and caught a chill, and now she has a high fever and her mind is confused.
I finally got to see my husband, but he didn't say a single word of concern.
She felt incredibly wronged: "Apologize... She's a slut who's disrupting the atmosphere of the compound. She's the one who should apologize, why should I apologize to her!"
Chen Wenzhong was so angry that he threw her back onto the bed, not expecting her to remain so stubborn.
He lit a cigarette, suppressing his inner rage: "Fine, do whatever you want, I, Chen Wenzhong, can't control you anymore. Divorce! It has to be a divorce!"
"I won't divorce you, I'd rather die than divorce you..."
"You won't divorce? Then go to jail. You choose!"
Chen Wenzhong took a deep drag on his cigarette, then smashed the butt on the ground, sending sparks flying, before slamming the door shut and leaving.
Yang Qiuxia's intuition told her that this time, Chen Wenzhong was serious...
Why is everyone drawn to that contemplative figure?
Even an unreasonable and wicked mother-in-law like Xu Hongying could fight over her.
What went wrong?
Outside the state-run restaurant, a large family walked along the street in a grand procession.
Xu Hongying was carrying large and small bags, and she looked radiant.
"Chen Sisi, don't think that I'll accept you just because you give me some small favors."
"Although I've accepted you as my daughter-in-law, you're still a long way from meeting my standards..."
He remained calm and composed, neither angry nor annoyed, his brows always exuding an aura of composure.
“Auntie, I’m buying you things as a courtesy, not as a small favor to curry favor with you.”
“I don’t know what your standards are for a daughter-in-law. I only know that I am the most suitable for Gu Chengfeng right now.”
Whether you acknowledge it or not, it won't affect me much.
Xu Hongying's smile vanished: "So, you've already dared to talk back to me after I just stood up for you?"
Chen Sisi's beautiful eyes twitched slightly, and she said in a coquettish tone, "And what about you? You were calling me your daughter-in-law just now, but now you look down on me..."
"I..." Xu Hongying was speechless. How could this woman be so delicate? She didn't get angry even when scolded; she had a strangely good temper.
Although she wasn't very educated, she could still sense that Shen Sisi's description was different from Yang Qiuxia's.
She is exceptionally beautiful, even more so than movie stars.
She possessed no trace of vulgarity or snobbery; instead, she gave off a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
Judging by her appearance and manner of speaking, if she hadn't given birth, she definitely wouldn't have liked her irritable son.
After thinking it over, she sighed and said, "I've already called you my daughter-in-law in front of everyone, and you still call me 'Auntie'?"
“This…” A blush appeared on Shen Sisi’s fair and flawless face.
Does this mean Xu Hongying has accepted her?
Overwhelmed with joy, she called out in a voice barely above a whisper, "Mom..."
Xu Hongying tilted her ear and blinked her eyes: "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
After a moment of reflection, she cleared her throat, mustered her courage, and called out loudly, "Mom!"
The shout was heard even across the street.
