"You're being uncooperative. What's wrong with being my wife at home? We can be like before, and I'll never mistreat you."
The original host found this disgusting. Seeing her hateful gaze, Wu Chuanbai realized the situation had become difficult.
"Xiao Ni, please don't be rash. If this gets out, it will be bad for everyone. It will ruin two families, and surely you don't want your elder brother and parents to hate you forever."
"As long as you don't speak of it, I'll compensate you doubly. I promise my mother will never bully you again. What's the difference between marrying anyone else? At least I won't abuse you."
The original host pretended to agree, and Wu Chuanbai breathed a sigh of relief. Happily, he untied the original host's restraints. The original host seized the opportunity to kick him in the groin, and as he cried out in pain, she tried to escape.
The door was locked, and she couldn't open it without a key. The original host frantically searched the drawer for one but was grabbed and thrown onto the bed by Wu Chuanbai, who was still in pain. He then covered her tightly with the quilt.
In a society governed by law, the original host was a living person, and Wu Chuanbai still hesitated. When the original host passed out and stopped struggling, he immediately released her, unsure of what to do next.
Zhao Zheng Yu was returning home, and it was inconvenient for him to discuss countermeasures with him, as he feared his wife might notice something. He had to go to work the next day, and if no one watched Zhao Xiao Ni, he worried she might do something drastic.
After much thought, he decided to confess everything to his parents. His parents were shocked and initially refused to believe it. Wu Chuanbai then presented some evidence, and after a few moments, their family decided to confine the original host.
Wu Chuanbai moved to the guest room and cut off the power and internet to the original host's room. All communication devices were confiscated, and meals were delivered by Wu's mother.
Then, they began spreading rumors outside that the original host was ill, giving her sleeping pills so that when people visited, she would appear peacefully asleep in bed. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Outsiders, seeing the original host looking clean, praised Wu's mother for taking such good care of her. The original host's physique weakened daily, but everyone attributed it to her illness, unaware she was being mistreated.
Given her personality, the original host didn't have any particularly close girlfriends, and her own family was indifferent to her.
Her sister-in-law visited many times. However, seeing the fabricated bills from the Wu family, she, not being a professional, didn't notice any discrepancies.
The Wu family's deception was so thorough that the surrounding neighbors believed she was simply unable to be treated by doctors, and they praised the Wu family for their supposed kindness. After about half a year, the original host's father personally smothered his daughter-in-law to death.
The family cried and lamented, expressing their immense grief. Acquaintances advised them to mourn and move on, saying they had done their best. As soon as the original host was buried, the Wu family collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Chuanbai cultivated a persona of deep love and declared he wouldn't remarry. His parents, fearing scandal, also abandoned the idea. A few years later, they found a young woman for surrogacy and had a plump grandson.
Wu Chuanbai and Zhao Zheng Yu's secret meetings became even more discreet, and they managed to keep their affair hidden for a lifetime. Privately, their love was invincible, and in their old age, they were doted on by their son, living a happy life.
This left the original host deeply resentful. She had never done anything evil in her life. Unloved from birth, she was poor at judging people and died young.
She wanted Zhao and Wu to pay the price, to no longer find happiness at the expense of others. She desired to truly live for herself and lead a different life.
"Okay, I understand!"
Bang bang bang, "Chuanbai, come out quickly for dinner. Whatever important matters you have, you can discuss them after eating. It's not good to starve yourself."
"Zhao Xiao Ni, you've gotten bold. You vixen, you've been clinging to my son and won't let go. Now you're even refusing to let him eat? Open the door quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."
"What are you making such a racket about? They can eat if they want to, or not. You old hag, my ears are ringing from your noise. Do you really think you can throw your weight around just because you're a mother-in-law? Watch out or I'll beat you."
"I'm just worried about the child. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Jun Jiu Li found the key and opened the door, then swaggered out. She sat down and picked up one of the bowls to start eating. Only three sets of bowls and chopsticks were laid on the table, clearly not prepared for the original host.
"As expected of someone from the countryside, you have no manners. You don't understand filial piety or respecting your husband. Do you think you deserve the rice I served? Put it down and get your own. You really think you're a young lady of the manor."
This old woman's incessant nagging was very irritating. Jun Jiu Li flicked her finger, and a pill flew into the old woman's throat.
Wu's mother immediately tried to spit it out, thinking the black, dirty thing couldn't be anything good.
After retching a few times and coughing, she swallowed it completely. Wu's mother rushed to the water dispenser and gulped down two cups. The pill had been stuck in her throat, causing discomfort.
Wu's father frowned and glared at Jun Jiu Li with displeasure. "You have no etiquette. I really don't know how your parents raised you. You've been in the city for so long and still can't shake off your country ways."
"Old man, do you want to try too?"
"Truly uncultured. I am your father."
"I'm your grandfather!!"
"You... you're outrageous." He stood up as if to hit Jun Jiu Li.
Jun Jiu Li grabbed his wrist and yanked it backward forcefully. Wu's father instantly let out a pig-like scream. Jun Jiu Li delivered two powerful slaps to his face.
"Shut up! It's not good to disturb the neighbors late at night. If you keep making noise, I'll chop you up."
Wu's father was greatly frightened. In his decades of life, he had never encountered such a violent person. The pain in his cheeks pulled at his mouth, and coupled with his fear, he couldn't even wail properly. He collapsed back into his chair, gasping for breath.
Wu's mother, meanwhile, dared not move, not even daring to breathe. She was merely a paper tiger; the original host's gentle temper allowed her to assert herself. Now that she saw her husband being beaten, she cowered like a quail.
After finishing her meal, Jun Jiu Li ignored the two of them, threw Wu Chuan Bai into the guest room, replaced everything in the master bedroom, took a bath, and prepared to have a comfortable sleep.
Old Man Wu let out a long sigh of relief after Jun Jiu Li left. Where did this woman get such strength? She was so frenzied that she dared to hit him. He would definitely call his son to discipline her later, to let her know who was in charge of this house.
Old Man Wu suddenly cried out, "You old hag, why are you still standing there? Go check on our son! This woman is probably crazy."
Wu's mother mumbled incoherently for a long time, stamping her feet anxiously.
"Go quickly! What are you dawdling for? That's the only legacy of our Wu family. If anything happens to Chuanbai, I won't forgive you."
Wu's mother quickly left the living room to check on him. She paused outside Jun Jiu Li's room for a moment, but still lacked the courage to knock. She thought about checking other rooms first, and if he wasn't there, she would return.
Upon entering the guest room, she found her precious son unconscious, and she began to panic, not knowing what to do. She rushed back to the living room to pull Old Man Wu over.
Seeing his beloved son lying on the floor, unmoving, Old Man Wu's heart sank. He let out a howl and rushed over. He reached out his intact left hand to check his nose; he was alive, he was alive.
His emotions fluctuated drastically in an instant, almost causing him to faint. He quickly regained his composure and pressed vigorously on Wu Chuanbai's philtrum. Soon, Wu Chuanbai slowly woke up.
The family of three embraced each other, weeping with joy. Wu Chuanbai also explained the situation.
Now that Jun Jiu Li held his weakness, he dared not act rashly and could only urge his parents to tolerate the situation. After tidying up, he took his parents to the nearest hospital.
