"You're insane!" Upon hearing this, Chu's father's face twisted in pain, and he blurted out, "You want him dead! Chu An'an, how could you have such a vicious thought!"
Chu An'an's face showed sarcasm.
So you think she's vicious?
With a stern face, she retorted, "Just because I can't swim, does that mean I won't die if I fall into the water?"
Is her son's life so precious, while hers is as worthless as grass?
Father Chu gritted his teeth and said unwillingly, "But...but later, didn't we manage to get them ashore?"
She's still alive, shouldn't she be grateful? Why is she holding a grudge instead! She's such an ungrateful wretch.
Chu An'an chuckled softly upon hearing this, and said calmly, "Alright then, when my brother accidentally falls down the stairs, I will also call 119 and send him to the hospital for emergency treatment. Do you think that's fair?"
"You..." Father Chu's eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his voice was hoarse: "You know very well that Xiaoyu is my only son now. Do you have to force me to my death before you will be satisfied? Fine, then I will die in front of you right now, as long as you spare my son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around, rushed to the sturdiest main beam in the room, and slammed his head against it.
Chu An'an's eyes widened instantly, and she held her breath.
Just when she thought this scene would become her lifelong nightmare and shadow, a faster figure struck like lightning, grabbed Chu's father by the back of his collar, stopped him from crashing into the pillar, and threw him away.
Chu's father was caught off guard and fell to the ground, hitting his head on the marble floor, which made him wince in pain.
The next second, Yi Tianran stomped on his chest, her voice icy cold: "I don't care if you're trying to use a self-inflicted injury or to make An'an feel guilty by dying, you won't succeed! None of you scumbags from the Chu family will escape prison. Just wait and taste the bitter fruit!"
For a moment, Chu's father couldn't care less about the pain of being stepped on in his chest; he only felt a chill run through his body.
I never expected that my final plan would be seen through so thoroughly.
"No..." he instinctively began to argue, "I just regret what I've done all these years and want to make amends with my life..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu An'an interrupted him in a hoarse voice: "Enough! How long are you going to keep acting?"
With heavy steps, she walked up to Chu's father, her eyes seemingly brimming with tears of blood: "Do you think death can erase everything? I will never forget the pain I have endured over the years."
At this moment, she had completely seen through the cold-blooded and vicious true nature of this family.
"Don't try to get rid of everything by dying. Even if you die, I will never forgive any member of the Chu family."
After saying that, Chu An'an turned and ran out.
"Wait!" Shen Manqing panicked and quickly chased after them.
"Don't go—" Chu's father scrambled to catch up, but Yi Tianran kicked him to the ground.
"Stop making futile struggles. The police will not wrong any innocent person. We will gather evidence of all the collusion your Chu family has done behind the scenes over the years and bring you to justice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the urgent sound of police sirens rang out outside the door.
Chu's father lost all his last glimmer of hope; in an instant, his face turned ashen, and his heart sank to ashes.
Chu Yu, whose legs were weak, came down from upstairs and knelt down at Yi Tianran's feet with a thud. He said with a pathetic expression, "Sister, I really didn't know anything about what my parents did! I had no idea they were so vicious. Please, please let me go! I'm still a minor. They raised me to be like this. You take revenge on them, but please spare me!"
At this point, he actually disregarded his parents' lives and pushed all the responsibility onto them, selfishly only caring about himself.
Even the Chu couple couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow.
This was the apple of their eye, whom they desperately tried to protect, but it was so ruthlessly pushed out to block a shot.
Is this karma?!
“As expected, like father, like son.” Yi Tianran was not surprised at all. Instead, she gave him a kind smile: “Don’t worry, little brother, your age is your biggest protection. Minors won’t go to jail.”
Chu Yu was overjoyed and was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard her add "maliciously": "But don't worry, once your parents are sentenced and your Chu family is finished, your 'good days' won't be far away."
Chu Yu's breath hitched, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
From a high-ranking family heir to a helpless orphan, he could no longer bear the contrast and broke down in tears.
Seeing the family of three in utter despair, Yi Tianran turned and walked away with a cold smile, just as she passed the police officers who came to arrest the Chu family.
After walking a short distance, Fu Yunchen strode over, first looking her up and down to make sure she was unharmed, before saying indifferently, "Have you finished watching the show?"
Yi Tianran looked up and asked with a smile, "I hope you've kept Mr. Fu waiting. Are you not impatient?"
“I’m incredibly patient with you.” Fu Yunchen gently cupped her face, his eyes deep and unfathomable. “If you’re unhappy, don’t smile. You never need to pretend in front of me.”
Yi Tianran was startled.
I never expected that he could see right through me at a glance.
Although she said she came to see the Chu family's misfortune, when she actually saw the wounds on Chu An'an's body and learned about what had happened to her, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Driven by jealousy, he abducted another woman's daughter for fifteen years, separating the mother and daughter and subjecting them to endless suffering and torment.
Moreover, Shen Manqing was a close friend of her mentor and an elder who genuinely loved her; to her, Shen was like a second mother.
Seeing Aunt Man in distress made her feel terrible too.
Hearing Fu Yunchen's words, her heart softened, and she unconsciously took two steps forward, hugged his waist, buried her head in his shoulder and rubbed against him, her voice soft and sweet, as if she were pouting: "Mr. Fu, do you have mind-reading abilities? How come you can't hide anything from me?"
Fu Yunchen embraced her, his expression softening. "I just want to understand the people I care about."
Warm breath sprayed against her ear, and Yi Tianran's neck flushed slightly. She thought to herself that this scoundrel's sweet talk was getting more and more skillful.
"Unfortunately, my sister prefers to have her heart sealed with cement. Mr. Fu, please respect her privacy in the future and try not to pry into my heart."
Despite saying this, Yi Tianran's body involuntarily went limp.
The two embraced until a soft cough sounded from behind them.
Yi Tianran quickly pushed him away and turned around, just in time to see Shen Manqing leading Chu An'an back. She smiled and teased, "Xiao Ran, when did you get a boyfriend? Aren't you going to introduce him to Aunt Man?"
Yi Tianran was unusually embarrassed and awkward. "Aunt Man, you've misunderstood. This is Xiao Mao Tuan's father."
"Oh..." Shen Manqing suddenly realized, and said something surprising—
