Chapter 115: Chapter 111: I’ve Never Loved Anyone Else in My Life (Part 2)
Yin Shixiu looked at the cold, indifferent back and spoke in a deep voice.
Zhou Mengqin’s steps paused for a moment.
"I promised her parents that I would treat her well, take care of her, and not let her become unhappy because she married me, Yin Shixiu."
"You promised her parents? Did you think about your parents when you married her?"
"... I did think about it."
"You thought about it? You thought you would—"
"I raped her."
Yin Shixiu’s sudden words interrupted Zhou Mengqin’s.
And those words fell like a bombshell in the living room!
It buzzed in everyone’s ears present.
Zhou Mengqin’s spine stiffened slightly, and Yin Shaohui furrowed his brows tightly...
"Fourth, what... did you just say?"
"I raped her, that’s how she got pregnant."
"Fourth, you say such things to protect that girl?"
Zhou Mengqin turned back to look at Yin Shixiu once more...
"Mom, since I became an adult, have any of the decisions I’ve made been wrong?"
"... What do you want to say?"
"Choosing her was my decision! I know that girl’s character very well, she is not the kind of girl you think she is. You should get to know her better."
"And any decisions I’ve made, have they been wrong?"
Zhou Mengqin’s voice turned completely cold, "Not recognizing her is my decision!"
"Do you have to do this?"
Zhou Mengqin took a deep breath, then walked down two steps again, standing in front of Yin Shixiu, "You mentioned your third brother just now. Fine, let’s talk about your third brother."
"You always liked following Shixun since childhood. He is a genius, someone outstanding in whatever he does, so you admired him, liked him, and made him your goal."
Zhou Mengqin looked intently at Yin Shixiu, "You think he is just your favorite brother? He is also my most beloved child! But even so, I do not regret my decision to send that scheming woman abroad!"
"Even if Shixun did something foolish because of it."
"You don’t regret it? You really don’t regret it?"
"Should I have let a woman of unknown origin, who even poisoned your father with slow poison, stay in my home?"
As Zhou Mengqin said this, she was biting her words out, and her gentle face finally revealed some unease and ferocity.
Under the ferocity was a mother’s conflicted, injured, and pained heart.
But all this...
Yin Shixiu did not feel.
His heart was hanging on Su Xiaomeng, feeling as if every minute now was a long year hard to endure.
In fact, he knew...
The woman his third brother Yin Shixun brought back was malicious and scheming.
But he also stubbornly believed that the woman’s ultimate viciousness was because of his mother’s constant rejection!
No one would truly want to face the cold shoulder and scorn of elders every day.
If only his mother had been more forgiving back then, at least his third brother wouldn’t have reached a dead end.
"So... if I also did what Third Brother did, even if ending up with the same result, would you not regret it either?"
"Slap!"
Zhou Mengqin raised her hand and slapped Yin Shixiu hard across the face.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I’m not threatening you, it’s you who are forcing me."
Yin Shixiu looked coldly, with an expression of unprecedented seriousness and solemnity, "I like that girl, how much I like her, what I like about her, I don’t know! But if you hurt her, it’s like carving at my heart. If you still refuse to give Xiaomeng back to me..."
Zhou Mengqin quietly waited for his next words.
"Then I can only really tear this house apart."
"... If you have the ability, then tear it apart."
Zhou Mengqin responded coldly, then went upstairs without looking back, slamming the door of the master bedroom shut with a "bang".
"What... what happened? Uncle..."
After receiving her uncle’s call last night, she was a bit worried, but unfortunately, she was too busy with homework and couldn’t call Yin Shixiu again.
In the morning, she called Su Xiaomeng, but the phone was off, called Yin Shixiu, but no one answered.
Feeling uneasy, she first went to her uncle’s apartment. Seeing no one there, she returned to the mansion.
Who knew, just as she arrived at the entrance, the gatekeeper said her uncle’s face was not good when he returned.
At that moment, she vaguely guessed that something indeed might have happened to Xiaomeng...
Upon entering the main gate of Zheng Garden, she saw the confrontational scene between her grandmother and uncle.
The development of things was obviously much more severe than she imagined...
Yin Shixiu glanced at Yin Meng, saying only one sentence, "Xiaomeng has been hidden by them, and they plan to use the same tactic they used on your biological mother against the girl."
After coldly saying it, he strode out of Zheng Garden.
