The mobile phone Wen Yun was holding fell to the ground with a thud, making a cracking sound. Maybe it was the screen of the phone, maybe it was something else.
Chen Du and Chen Jiashu turned their heads at the same time, and their faces fell into Wen Yun’s steeply widened eyes. Shocked, absurd, and incredulous, she looked at them as if she had seen a ghost. Her voice was lifeless, and she asked very softly, “You guys, Xiao Du, what are you doing?”
Both of them who were discovered were obviously caught off guard. Chen Du’s heart sank violently as he subconsciously shielded Chen Jiashu in his arms and turned sideways to wrap his arms around her.
His actions undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to Wen Yun. She suddenly rushed forward, pulled Chen Jiashu’s wrist, and yanked her out, raising her arm and slapping her with a solid blow. With a crisp “pop,” it could be heard clearly in the silent winter night in the room. It shocked the eardrums of the three people in the room at the same time. Wen Yun was so furious that she shook Chen Jiashu and screamed, “What are you doing, I ask? What? Say something!”
“Don’t you move her!”
Immediately, his voice overwhelmed her, and Chen Du snatched her over. He held her wrist and examined her face carefully, asking in a hoarse voice, “Does it hurt? Why didn’t you hide?”
Wen Yun was trembling, and her liver and guts split at the roar Chen Du had just let out. This was her own son, the most brilliant and educated genius since he was a child, and he was having an affair with a cheap bastard. He yelled at her for that vixen! Chen Du had never been so excited, and neither had she. “Do you know who she is? Huh?” She trembled and pointed at Chen Jiashu, shouting, “Have you forgotten that she is your sister?!”
Chen Jiashu covered her half-swollen face and suddenly burst out laughing lightly.
Wen Yun’s body shook as she laughed, and the chill leapt up from the bottom of her feet as she took a step forward. “Chen Jiashu, you’re getting back at me, aren’t you?”
“If you want to take revenge on me, why don’t you come at me? Can’t you take revenge on Chen Jinan? Why do you have to pick on my son, huh?” Wen Yun burst into tears: “He’s only seventeen. He still has to go to college. In the future, you will start a family, start a business, and be upright…how can you bear it? Chen Jiashu, are you going to kill him? Are you human?! …… How could you bear it? Chen Jiashu, are you going to kill him? Are you a human being!”
“It’s not her business!” Chen Du couldn’t listen anymore, “I was the one who liked her first. I was the one who pestered her and wouldn’t let go. It was all me -“
“You shut up!!!” Wen Yun hissed and gave Chen Du another slap with her backhand.
This slap was even louder and brighter than the one she had just delivered. Wen Yun had never hit Chen Du before, and she had never even been able to say a serious word to him since he was a child. This slap stunned both of them at the same time. As she spoke, her palm hurt so much that it went numb.
Chen Du’s head was turned by her blow. The right side of his handsome, fair face quickly flushed red, and there was a buzzing in his ears that felt like it was going to pierce his eardrums. Wen Yun’s roar fell into his eyes and became a climactic and dazzling pantomime. He guarded Chen Jiashu tightly, holding the back of her head in his arms as he finished his words: “It’s all my fault. It’s my responsibility. Don’t touch her.”
“What the fuck do you know about responsibility! She’s shameless and you’re shameless too?” Wen Yun nearly collapsed and stared at Chen Jiashu, shouting to Chen Du, “Do you know what you’re doing? Have you thought about what you will do in the future? Chen Du, have you ever thought about me as a mother?”
Chen Du’s eyes were slightly red, and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly. He covered Chen Jiashu’s ears with both hands to prevent her from hearing this.
Wen Yun looked at the two of them hugging each other in front of her, and Chen Du’s protective eyes pierced deep into her heart. Grief, shock, anger, and the many injustices she had accumulated in recent days all came together and crushed her. Her grief grew to heartbreak, her disappointment grew to despair, and she bowed her head and covered her face as she cried, “What the hell kind of ecstasy soup has this b*tch put into your heads? Your father is looking out for her, and you say you like her …… Well, you like her,” she sneered through her tears, pointing her finger at Chen Jiashu, “Does she like you? “
“She likes me.” Chen Du answered without hesitation.
“Like a skin!” Her voice was sharp and piercing. “She must have been the one who committed the crime in the first place. She deliberately seduced you to get back at me. Otherwise, you can ask her. Do you dare to ask her why she approached you in the first place?”
“You don’t dare ask, do you? I’ll do it for you,” Wen Yun said, “Chen Jiashu, Chen Jinan cheated with me during your mother’s pregnancy. I did something wrong. You can come and punish me. Why do you want to hurt and calculate my son! The fact is that Xiao Du doesn’t know anything. What did he do wrong? What’s the difference between a b*tch like you and me back then!”
Chen Du’s temples throbbed, and his veins were about to explode. It was as if something had collapsed, and many things that were previously blurred and imperceptible suddenly became clear, yet more unpleasant than blurred.
The blood rose to his brain, and for a short time, the blood pressure made it impossible for him to think calmly. What did Wen Yun just mean? He was Xiao San’s 1 Xiao San or “Little three” – it refers to a mistress. It literally means a third party in a relationship. son? Cheating during pregnancy? Revenge? So Chen Jiashu seduced him for revenge?
The fairytale world that she had so carefully built and maintained disintegrated and reorganised in an instant, turning into something that no one wanted to see. Wen Yun witnessed the most sinful scene, and at the same time allowed her own child to witness the ugliest side of her. She slid slowly down the floor in a mess and breaking down in tears.
Chen Du’s throat swallowed with difficulty, as if drained of all moisture. The knot in his throat was coarse and astringent, to the point of his inability to speak.
His eyelids closed and reopened against the strong background sound of Wen Yun’s howling, his deep sockets were sunk by the shadows of the overhead light, and his broad shoulders looked very weak.
He looked down at Chen Jiashu in his arms and slowly caressed her left cheek, emotions rising and falling in his eyes. His dry lips opened and closed several times before he finally asked, “Does it hurt?”
The situation was out of hand. Wen Yun regained her composure after a brief loss and stood up, wiping her tears, “Chen Jiashu, you go out first. I have something to say to my son.”
Chen Jiashu turned around and just took a step, when Chen Du clasped his wrist and pulled back.
“I told you to get out!” Wen Yun gritted her teeth, her eyes scarlet with tears, wanting to tear this b*tch apart.
Chen Jiashu removed the hand circled on her wrist lightly and nodded, “Got it.” She left Chen Du, crossed over Wen Yun, and went out of the room.
“Heh, this is what you call liking? You see she did not react at all. I told her to go away, and she just left immediately. She treats you as a plaything, and you still treat her as a treasure to protect!”
Wen Yun cried and laughed in the room. Her shrill, frantic voice fumed at Chen Du. Chen Jiashu dragged her two feet and walked mechanically. The door slammed shut, and she could vaguely hear a reprimand from inside, saying something like, “That b*tch is heartless. She is a white-eyed wolf and will be punished by God.” Wen Yun finished her scolding and turned to Chen Du in tears, “Cut her off! No matter when you started, break it off with her! Otherwise, I’ll have her out of Shencheng tomorrow! She wants to ruin your life? I’ll ruin her first!”
“What the hell is she? I will make her disappear from this world completely, do you believe me? I, Wen Yun, will do what I say! Chen Du, I’m asking you one last time. Break it off with her. Do you promise?”
After a long silence, a hoarse voice from the inside of the door answered, “Okay.”
Chen Jiashu leaned against the wall panel and let out a slow breath. Her chest felt empty, holding no emotion. She slowly went back into her room, closed the door and lay down on her bed with a wooden expression.
Good. That was it.
It was all over.
The purpose has been completed.
The sobbing next door faded, and Wen Yun’s painful expression repeatedly came to mind as she slowly closed her eyes, quite happily. It was both painful and quick.
She waited in a peaceful, shallow sleep for the uncertain tomorrow, when a hand suddenly shook her awake eagerly in the middle of the night.
Chen Jiashu opened her eyes in a daze and saw the familiar profile before her and froze, “You ……”
“Shh-” Chen Du’s index finger pressed her lips, and his two strong arms picked her up, “Listen to me; I have a way. You will be fine.”
“Chen Jiashu, I’ll take you with me.”
