In the future interstellar world, not only is technology highly advanced, but social security and legal systems are also nearly perfect. For an adopted son and mother to sever ties, not only are complex procedures required, but also various pieces of evidence suggesting wrongdoing by either parent are necessary. Otherwise, no matter how loudly you protest, the civil affairs bureau will not pay you any attention.
"Nan, that's enough. What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to your mother right now." Ou Dongbaili easily pressed down on Ou Nanbaili's head, making a gesture as if to kowtow to Ji Xiaoxiao to admit his mistake.
Is it a case of first hitting someone on the head with a stick, then giving them a treat as a token gesture, and that's considered settling the score?
There's no way things are going to be this way. Ji Xiaoxiao isn't the original owner of this body; she wouldn't feel maternal love for triplets. Since Ou Nanbaili dared to speak rudely to her, why should she feel guilty and hesitate to harm him?
“Ou Dongbaili, let go of my hand. You don’t need to force your brother. Forcing a cow to drink water is pointless.” Ji Xiaoxiao instructed Ou Dongbaili, then turned to Ou Nanbaili with a calm expression, “Ou Nanbaili, you said you wanted to sever ties with me. How are you going to tell the people at the Relationship Management Bureau? That I abused you, didn’t feed you, didn’t clothe you, and beat you day and night? Is that what you’re saying?”
Once O'Nam Baili's temper flares up, even a torrential downpour cannot extinguish it in a short time; frankly, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Isn't that right? You just hit me, and my brother and younger brother can both testify for me." The thought of severing his mother-son relationship with the nagging old woman and escaping her clutches to fly freely in the sky made Ou Nanbaili beam with joy.
"The deeper the love, the harsher the criticism. Don't you understand why I hit you?" Ji Xiaoxiao was somewhat deranged, as if she had gone astray in her training and fallen into a demonic state.
Elena sat there properly when suddenly she felt a sharp, hawk-like gaze fixed on her. Swallowing hard, she cautiously looked over and saw Ji Xiaoxiao's frosty face. Elena was so frightened she almost screamed and jumped up, scattering in all directions.
"Zheng Youyou, I'm warning you, stop glaring at my mother, you're scaring her." Ou Nanbaili, with his sharp eyes, turned slightly to block Ji Xiaoxiao's penetrating gaze.
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips, unconcerned, and said, "Warn me? What makes you think you can warn me, Ou Nanbaili? Don't forget, I am your legal mother, and she is nothing but a corrupt social outcast who is greedy for wealth and power and neglects her duties."
As soon as she finished speaking, Elena paused for a moment before bursting into tears.
"How could you say that to me? I don't want to abandon Dong and the others, but what can I, a woman, do?" Elena cried so hard that she was heartbroken and pitiful to behold.
Hearing this, the three devoted sons, who doted on their mother, felt a pang of heartache and frantically tried to comfort Elena. After a while, Ou Dongbai and the others painstakingly pleaded with her, making countless promises, before they finally managed to appease Elena.
“Mother, how can you bully others like this? I’m begging you, can’t you treat Mother a little better for our sake?” O’Shaughnessy said.
No wonder the original owner died of anger on her sickbed. Even her once sweetest-talking youngest son, Osipari, turned around and joined the enemy camp. Who else could the original owner rely on?
Ji Xiaoxiao exhaled, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart. She coldly smiled at the luxurious yet warm furniture and decorations around her, her mind replaying happy times from the past, wave after wave of sarcasm and ridicule overwhelming her.
"How ridiculous! According to you, because she's a woman, there's no need to investigate her abandoning her son. But because you are my sons, I have to dote on her and respect her. Osipari, is that what you mean?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.
Ji Xiaoxiao rattled off a long string of words at an extremely fast pace. Ou Xibaili, who was not good at conversation, was completely bewildered and subconsciously replied with a "yes".
"Bang!" Ji Xiaoxiao slammed her hand on the table in front of her with all her might.
"Why should I?" Ji Xiaoxiao screamed hysterically. "She's a woman, but I'm not? She's your birth mother, but am I not your adoptive mother? For the past twenty years, I've been raising you with great difficulty. During that time, has she spent a single penny on you? Now, ha, you've grown up and achieved success, and you expect me to support this beast that's worse than a pig or a dog? Do you really think I'm just a cheap nanny for the Ou family?"
“Zheng Youyou, you’ve gone too far,” Ou Dongbaili said, frowning.
Since things had already fallen apart, Ji Xiaoxiao was too lazy to care about the triplets anymore. She said recklessly, "Did I go too far? I don't think so. This illness that almost killed me, Elena, it was you who did it! You used the money that Ou Dongbai and the others gave you to bribe my servants and put drugs in my food. If I hadn't been more careful, you would be the mistress of this mansion now."
A thunderclap suddenly erupted from the ground; it meant death for everyone.
"Nonsense, Zheng Youyou, I'm going to sue you for defamation. You'll be summoned by the court!" Ou Nanbaili jumped out and mercilessly stabbed Ji Xiaoxiao again.
As you keep poking and poking, and the pain continues, slowly you get used to it and it stops hurting.
"I don't want to say anything more to you. I'm giving you one last chance. I'll only ask you one question. Do you want to live with me, or do you want to go with your biological mother who abandoned you?" Ji Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Elena's pupils contracted sharply, her eyes darted around, and an idea instantly popped into her head.
"Sister, don't be angry. I just missed the children and wanted to see them. Now that they are healthy and doing well, I'm at peace. I'll leave right now." Elena used a feigned retreat to bid a pitiful farewell to the triplets.
