Its limbs twitched uncontrollably and its small body twisted continuously on the ground. Its eyes, which had been rolling around, now became cloudy and lifeless, filled with pain and fear.
After just a few seconds, the mouse's movements gradually slowed down, and the frequency of its twitching became lower and lower. Then, with a "thump", it fell straight to the ground, and its limbs kicked up, and it was no longer mobile. Its once vibrant life came to an abrupt end.
The air was still filled with the aroma of egg cake, but the scene before them made the temperature in the room seem to drop instantly. Everyone stood still, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. Deathly silence enveloped the entire room, and no one dared to believe what they had just seen.
Deathly silence spread throughout the house, and the air seemed to be frozen, making it hard to breathe.
When Liu Cuihua saw this scene, her eyes widened instantly and her face was filled with fear and despair.
Her legs weakened uncontrollably and she stepped back hastily, stumbling with every step and almost tripping over her own trouser legs.
At this moment, her mind was blank, and only one thought was echoing wildly: Everything is over!
She finally woke up from her dream. It turned out that Gong Yunqiu’s goal was not to turn Lu Cheng into a fool, but to take his life!
Recalling the implicit hints that Gong Yunqiu had given her when they were talking, Liu Cuihua was filled with regret. How could she be so stupid as to become the knife in her hand?
A full minute passed before Wang Lijuan came to her senses. Her eyes widened in an instant, filled with fear and confusion, as if she had seen some horrible monster beyond imagination. She stared at Liu Cuihua.
Then, Lin Yuexi woke up as if from a dream. The blood color on her face faded in an instant, turning pale. Her lips trembled slightly uncontrollably, and her eyes were like sharp blades, shooting straight at Liu Cuihua, as if she wanted to peel off her disguise layer by layer and find a reasonable explanation from her face.
Lu Jianguo stood there in a daze, his mind was blank, and he seemed to be under a spell. His body was shaking slightly, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, making a "clucking" sound.
After a while, he finally found his voice. With trembling lips, he squeezed out a sentence: "Mom...you..., what on earth is going on?"
His voice became hoarse and trembling due to fear and shock, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
Yes! Who could easily believe that a mother who should have given her child endless love and care, a role that bears the hardships of pregnancy and the grace of raising a child for ten months, would deliberately want to poison her own son?
As for Lu Cheng, his brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, the blue veins on his forehead were bulging with anger, his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white from excessive force, and in addition to disbelief, his eyes were filled with burning anger and questioning. He approached Liu Cuihua step by step, and each step was extremely heavy, as if he wanted to crush this weird and terrifying atmosphere.
At this moment, his heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and he finally began to believe what Lin Yuexi had said before.
Countless past events flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope. All those moments when Liu Cuihua was cold and mean to him now became ironclad evidence.
How could he be Liu Cuihua's biological son?
"Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs." This is the instinct that even wild animals follow, but Liu Cuihua never had even a trace of motherly love for him, only endless disgust and demands.
Liu Cuihua saw that Lu Cheng had a gloomy face and was approaching her step by step. Every step made the floor "dong dong" sound, as if he was stepping on her heart.
Her hands waved wildly and uncontrollably, as if trying to drive away the terrible crisis before her. Her voice trembled and was anxious, "San'er, it's not me,... it's not me..." She looked as if her throat was gripped by extreme fear.
When Lu Cheng heard this, his eyes instantly turned red, as if they were about to spit fire, and a terrifying aura of anger emanated from his whole body.
He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks puffed up due to the force, and said word by word, gritting his teeth: "Liu Cuihua, the facts are clearly in front of us. If you didn't want to poison me, who would be so cruel as to kill me..."
As he spoke, the rage in his chest surged like magma, instantly breaking through the bank of reason. He subconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his bones pressed against each other, his knuckles turned white from excessive force, and veins popped out on the back of his hands.
It was a fist filled with tremendous hatred, carrying the anger and despair after being betrayed.
Then, he suddenly raised his arm, his muscles tensed, and his arm drew a sharp arc in the air. Accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, a slap wrapped in endless anger fell heavily on Liu Cuihua's face.
The huge impact force made Liu Cuihua unable to react at all. She fell backwards uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground.
She collapsed to the ground, her hair disheveled, her face full of fear and disbelief, gasping for breath, as if she had not yet recovered from the sudden violence.
When Lu Cheng was about to attack Liu Cuihua again, Lu Jianmin, Wang Lijuan and Lin Yichen quickly stepped forward and held him back.
Lu Jianmin held Lu Cheng's arms tightly with both hands and shouted, "Third brother, calm down! After all, she is our mother!"
Wang Lijuan also urged anxiously: "Yes, Third Brother, don't be impulsive, ask the matter clearly first!"
Lin Yichen grabbed the corner of Lu Cheng's clothes tightly, his eyes full of worry: "Lu Cheng, you can't do it again, this won't solve the problem."
Lu Cheng was being pulled by several people, his body still struggling violently, his eyes still staring viciously at Liu Cuihua lying on the ground, his chest heaving violently, his heavy breathing like an angry trapped beast.
"Ask clearly? It's so obvious, she just wants to poison me. She is not my mother..." Lu Cheng roared, his voice becoming hoarse with anger.
Liu Cuihua slumped on the ground, her hair disheveled, blood oozing from the corners of her mouth, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
She tried to stand up with her hands shaking, but fell down again. "San'er, it really wasn't me...it was Gong Yunqiu, she forced me to do it..."
Liu Cuihua cried out, her voice sharp and miserable.
Lin Yuexi walked over to Lu Cheng and patted him on the back gently, trying to calm him down. "Don't get excited yet, listen to what she says."
She spoke softly, turning her gaze to Liu Cuihua, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including anger, disappointment, and more of a search for the truth.
Lu Jianmin frowned, looked at Liu Cuihua, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, you said Gong Yunqiu forced you, who is Gong Yunqiu? Why did she force you? Explain clearly."
