Chapter 18: The Delicate Young Lady vs. the Gloomy Bastard (18)
Because of Xu Huiling's phone call in the morning, Nan Yan was absent-minded the whole day.
After school in the evening, he watched Lu Cha get on the bus and leave as usual. When he was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed his arm.
The woman was wearing a red dress, the slim fit showed off her layers of fat.
Even with heavy makeup, it couldn't hide her haggard and yellow face caused by years of smoking and drinking.
Nan Yan recognized the woman's identity at a glance. His hanging hands suddenly clenched into fists, and the veins on his arms bulged.
The blood in my body seemed to be flowing backwards, and the hatred accumulated in my heart was like a mad beast about to break through the cage of reason.
"Get out of here!"
He shook off Xu Huiling's hand and wiped it repeatedly with a tissue in disgust, as if her touch carried countless germs.
"Xiaoyan, I am your mother!" Xu Huiling didn't care about his attitude at all and raised her right hand covered with hideous scars.
Her five fingers were strangely twisted, as if the bones had been smashed and then pieced together, uneven and bumpy. "Look, this is Mom's hand that you smashed with a rock. It will never be the same again."
The students passing by all looked sideways, their inquiring eyes falling on the two of them.
Not wanting Lu Cha to hear about this, Nan Yan slowly opened his fists, pressed his eyes with his palms, and calmed down his emotions.
He turned around and wanted to leave, but Xu Huiling stopped him again, pretending to be sincere: "Why are you ignoring Mom? Don't you miss me all these years?"
"If you want me to leave you alone, you can give me five hundred thousand, no, one million! Then go find Mingchen to forgive you, and I will never appear in front of you again!"
Xu Huiling directly stated the purpose of her visit.
Nan Yan paused and turned his head to look at the face that had brought him countless pain and torture.
He used to pray devoutly to God on every cold night, praying for a little maternal love from her.
But in her eyes, in her heart, in every vein, there is only money.
How ironic.
The young man suddenly stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Xu Huiling's throat. His violent and bloodthirsty black eyes flashed with a beast-like fierceness, and he wished he could tear the person in front of him to pieces immediately.
"Don't make me kill you here."
Just then, Li Jian drove over. Nan Yan let go of Xu Huiling and got into the car as if he was throwing away garbage.
Xu Huiling collapsed to the ground, greedily breathing in the fresh air, still feeling frightened.
After not seeing him for a few years, this little beast has become more and more cruel.
I don’t believe it. I’m his mother, how dare he really kill me!
Thinking of the news she heard before she came, Xu Huiling smiled coldly, and made other plans in her mind.
-
Inside the car heading towards Gu's company.
Nan Yan, who was sitting in the back seat, wiped his palms with paper over and over again, his stomach churning, as if he had nausea, or perhaps it was an adverse reaction to extreme mental stress.
Li Jian wanted to ask, but when he met Nan Yan's gloomy and terrifying gaze through the rearview mirror, he shut up tactfully.
Nan Yan stopped wiping only when he realized there was no more tissue in the bag.
He leaned back in his chair tiredly, the cool evening breeze blew in through the car window, and a burning stinging sensation came from his palms, making him feel as if he was back in that autumn.
When he was seven years old, he cooked a bowl of noodles for Xu Huiling to celebrate her birthday. He waited at the door from day to late at night and replaced the hot noodles countless times. But the first thing Xu Huiling did when she came back was to slap him in the face.
The spilled hot soup splashed all over his hands, causing them to burst into blisters. Xu Huiling crushed his hands with her feet and cursed, "I lost money and now I have to face you, a jinx. What bad luck!"
Oh, he was just a punching bag for her to vent her anger on.
The boy curled up unconsciously, staring blankly at the trees passing by outside the car window.
Kill, don't kill, kill...
-
The next morning.
After learning from the system that someone was waiting for her at the school gate, Lu Cha found an excuse to let Jiang Xiaowan go first, and she arrived at school half an hour late.
As expected, as soon as Lu Cha got off the car with her bag, Xu Huiling, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over with a smile: "Oh, you must be Xiao Yan's girlfriend Cha Cha, you are so beautiful."
Lu Cha pretended to be confused: "Who are you?"
"Oh, I'm his mother, Xu Huiling, and your future mother-in-law." Xu Huiling teased hypocritically, then her expression changed like a page turning, her brow furrowed. "Alas, you know Xiaoyan has a bad temper. I came all the way here to see him, but not only did he avoid me, he ignored me."
"I haven't eaten anything since yesterday at noon, and even slept in a nearby park at night." After pretending to be pitiful, Xu Huiling pretended to be embarrassed: "Auntie had no choice but to find you. If it's convenient for you, can you lend me some money?"
Xu Huiling patted her chest and promised: "Xiao Yan will definitely pay you back when the time comes!"
Lu Cha glanced around to make sure there were no surveillance cameras, and smiled sweetly, "Of course."
Seeing the girl rummaging through her bag obediently, Xu Huiling felt contempt in her heart.
What a clueless young lady! How could a girl like her want to be with Xiaoyan?
If she didn't have some money, she wouldn't look down on such a fool!
Lu Cha took out his wallet and deliberately raised his hand with a big gesture.
Bang!
The back of his hand slapped Xu Huiling's face, leaving a red mark instantly.
Lu Cha walked over in a panic: "Sorry, Auntie, I didn't expect you to be so close to me. Let me see if you are hurt."
She clutched Xu Huiling's shoulders helplessly, and accidentally stepped heavily on her toes with her high-heeled shoes.
"Ah!" Xu Huiling tried to push her away in pain, but Lu Cha dodged in advance. Xu Huiling stumbled and fell flat on her face.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Xu Huiling got up angrily and wanted to lose her temper, but when she turned around, she saw the black card in Lu Cha's hand and immediately forced a smile: "No, it's okay."
"But you look miserable."
"Stop!" Xu Huiling pointed at her in horror and said with a wry smile, "Don't come over here. I'm dirty. Just hand me the card."
She doesn't want to get hurt again!!!
"Okay."
Xu Huiling suppressed her joy and took the black card.
Great! She can go gambling again!
"By the way, Chacha, the password for this card is..."
"142508."
Xu Huiling: ???
Why does it feel like I'm cursing?
Before Xu Huiling could react, a figure suddenly rushed over and grabbed her shoulders tightly.
The boy's eyes were a terrifying crimson, as if quenched with blood. His expression was extremely grim, and every word seemed to be forced out from the remaining gap in his throat:
"Why are you here?!"
