I sighed inwardly. The younger one is gone, and now the older one is here. This isn't over yet. I quickly opened the door and went downstairs.
Xiao Wuyu also came out of the house, but she stopped him.
“Principal, this is Wu Gang’s mother. I’ll go and say a few words to her so she can go back. You don’t need to come out. You’ve already gone to enough trouble for me today.”
"Okay, be careful. I'm on the first floor. Just call if you need anything." Xiao Wuyu also felt that it wasn't appropriate for him to show up.
Instead, after following Liu Yan downstairs, he took a stool, sat down, and looked out the window.
"Is there something you need?" Liu Yan didn't fully open the door, but only cracked it open. He looked at the old lady and asked.
"Daughter-in-law, Da Gang isn't feeling well. Why don't you go back and check on him? I was wrong today, I'll apologize to you, okay?"
A fake smile forced onto the old woman's face. She wanted to coax Liu Yan back home first; there was no way she could come out again. She had already made up her mind when she left.
“Wu Gang and I have no relationship anymore. He has already written the document severing ties and made a promise.”
Don't come looking for me again, I'm not your daughter-in-law! If you cause trouble at school again, don't say I'll report you to the authorities and have you arrested.
"You're talking nonsense. How could my son write a document severing ties with you? You're carrying my Wu family's child in your belly." The old lady couldn't quite believe her ears.
"Didn't you say back then that the child in my belly wasn't Wu Gang's?"
How could you change your mind so quickly? Let me tell you now, the child in my belly is mine alone, and it will take my surname, Liu, and has nothing to do with your Wu family.”
When the old lady heard Liu Yan say that, she became anxious. She grabbed Liu Yan's arm and pulled him outside.
"Come on, come back with me and talk to Wu Gang face to face to find out what really happened."
Did you hire someone to beat my son into a pulp? And you've gone too far! Don't think that just because you've come to the base, someone will back you up.
As long as I, this old woman, am alive, you are Wu Gang's wife. If you want to escape the Wu family and live a good life on your own, keep dreaming.
Despite being quite thin, the old lady had surprisingly strong hands.
Liu Yan struggled a few times but couldn't break free. He simply bent down and bit her arm.
Anyway, she had figured it out in her heart: going back was impossible. Judging from the old lady's attitude, if they tried to take her back, wouldn't they tie her up with ropes? She knew the old lady all too well.
"Hiss! You little bitch, you dare bite me?"
Even though the old lady was in so much pain, she didn't let go. She's quite a tough person.
With his other hand, he grabbed her and pulled hard, dragging Liu Yan out from behind the door. Realizing the danger, Liu Yan let go and ran into the yard.
The old woman grabbed her hair and started hitting her repeatedly. Liu Yan refused to back down.
He turned around and slapped her across the face, which really enraged the old lady. She then bent down and rammed her head into the old lady's stomach.
She used tremendous force, catching Liu Yan off guard. She rammed her head into his stomach, causing him to cry out in pain and fall to the ground with a thud.
Then I felt something flowing out from below, and my face turned pale. Could it be that I've lost the baby?
The old lady lunged forward, but was unexpectedly kicked away.
Xiao Wuyu didn't expect the old lady to make a move. When her head hit Liu Yan's stomach, he was still inside the house. Now, he didn't care about scaring anyone and appeared outside the door in a flash.
He kicked the old lady away first, then bent down and helped Liu Yan up from the ground, who was clutching his stomach and covered in cold sweat from the pain. He only needed to check his pulse slightly to know what had happened.
He quickly took out a pill and fed it to Liu Yan, then picked her up and carried her into the yard. He also made sure to close the gate behind him.
When Wu Gang caught up from home, he only saw the old lady lying motionless on the ground, which startled him greatly. He thought that Xiao Wuyu had beaten her to death.
He was about to cry while holding the old lady, but then he saw her catch her breath and slowly open her eyes. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom, I told you not to come, but you insisted. The people in here are not to be trifled with."
"Son, is he the one who beat you up like this?"
"We can't beat them in a fight, but I refuse to believe we have nowhere to seek justice! Let's go find some officers in the army and tell them that these people have kidnapped your wife. We'll sue them."
"Mom, you can finally give up." Wu Gang helped the old lady up and led her home.
He knew exactly what he had done; his relationship with Liu Yan was never legitimate. Besides, he was afraid that Jian Ning and Xiao Wuyu would cause him trouble.
There are plenty of women out there; there's no need to cling to Liu Yan. Your own life is more important.
"Da Gang, what's wrong with you? You don't look like yourself at all!" The old lady followed Wu Gang home, limping along. She was very puzzled.
"Mom, if you want me to live a couple more years, please don't bother Liu Yan anymore. She has a powerful backer now, and she's not someone I can control easily. That's a fact, and you have to accept it."
The old lady looked up and stared at Wu Gang's face for a while, then tears welled up in her eyes.
What terrible things has she done! She's lost her daughter-in-law, her grandson, and now she has nothing to do with the Wu family anymore. She should have been kinder to Liu Yan in the first place.
But it's too late to regret it now.
The mother and daughter still don't know that Liu Yan's baby is gone.
She was still in the early stages of her pregnancy and was already weak. The old lady hit her head, and she lost the baby.
Thanks to Xiao Wuyu's expertise in medicine and alchemy, after carrying Liu Yan back, he used his golden needles to insert two more needles into her body to stop the bleeding. He also gave her some medicine beforehand, so the damage to her body was not significant.
With proper care, you should recover.
Liu Yan remained fully conscious throughout, feeling deeply grateful as she watched Xiao Wuyu meticulously care for her. Since the apocalypse, everyone had become incredibly cold-hearted; even the most basic humanity had vanished from the bond between people.
They all scheme against each other or resort to underhanded tactics in order to survive.
She hadn't felt this kind of tenderness in a long time.
"The bleeding has stopped, but the baby couldn't be saved."
Here's a set of clothes, mine, clean and unworn. You can get up and change. I've already filled the bathroom with water for you; you can go wash up there.
Xiao Wuyu went out for a while, came back and brought Liu Yan a set of clothes, and then said to her.
"Thanks."
Liu Yan took the clothes and went to the bathroom. The bathtub was almost full of warm water. He wondered where Principal Xiao had gotten it from. Although water was not scarce, taking a bath like this was still a luxury.
Liu Yan couldn't even remember how long it had been since he last took a shower.
