CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 304: SHE DOESN’T DARE

The mother-in-law didn’t not hear the father-in-law’s voice, nor did she not feel the pain for the suffering he endured. After all, they’ve been married for over twenty years, how could she not have any feelings towards him.

But she dared not show it, with Brother Shan around, even given ten more lives, she wouldn’t dare glance at another man.

Back then, had she not known Brother Shan had fled abroad and would never return, she wouldn’t have dared marry another man.

But why has this man returned now?

After the business was done, Grandfather Shan walked over to the whimpering father-in-law with his bare chest exposed, "If it weren’t for the fact you’ve raised my son for over twenty years, I would have taken your life just now!

Those two bullets you took, one was for sleeping with my woman for so many years, and the other was for your uselessness in not protecting my son.

As for your daughter who caused my son’s death, hehe, I’ll make sure she pays the price!"

As he spoke, Grandfather Shan knocked the father-in-law unconscious with a single punch, plunging the room into silence.

On the bed, the mother-in-law wrapped herself in a sheet and sat up as Grandfather Shan returned to the bedside after beating the man.

"Ah Ke, after all these years, you’re still just as beautiful, but this body no longer has the allure of youth.

I’m curious about the taste of the daughter you birthed," Grandfather Shan spoke dangerously into her ear.

The mother-in-law trembled and said, "Brother Shan, what do you want me to do?"

"What do you think?"

The mother-in-law, trembling, picked up the phone to call Yue Wenwen.

In the apartment, Yue Wenwen, who had slept all day, was eating when her phone rang. Seeing it was her mom calling, she was a bit startled.

It had been so long since she last received a call from her mom.

The last time was when something happened to Gu Zhiyuan, and her mom called to get information out of her.

In the months since, it was always Yue Wenwen initiating the calls, and sometimes the other party wouldn’t even pick up.

"Mom," Yue Wenwen answered the phone.

"Wenwen, what are you doing?"

"Just having dinner, Mom, how about you?"

"Having dinner at this hour! I’m about to go to bed.

Wenwen, do you have time to come home for a bit?" The mother-in-law tried to sound as natural as possible.

"Work’s been busy lately, Mom, is something wrong?" Yue Wenwen asked, puzzled.

She was puzzled since after she left home for college, her mom never called her home, not once. During holidays, she could just mention staying at school to work, and that would be it.

Yet now, to be calling her home? It was too strange!

Clutching the phone tightly and under Brother Shan’s watchful eyes, the mother-in-law nervously said, "It’s nothing. It’s just that since your brother left, the atmosphere at home hasn’t been good. Your dad had a fight with me today and left, and your brother hasn’t returned from school either.

I’m feeling quite lonely and was wondering if you could come back and keep me company for a couple of days?"

After hearing her mom’s explanation, Yue Wenwen’s doubts dissipated, changing to sympathy for her mother.

How lonely must Mom be to think of wanting her less-favored, disliked daughter to come home?

"Mom, I’ll take a leave and come back to accompany you tomorrow!"

"Okay."

After hanging up, the mother-in-law timidly glanced at Grandfather Shan. "She said she’d take a leave tomorrow and return."

Grandfather Shan nodded, "Go stop that man’s bleeding first! Or he’ll die!"

The mother-in-law, hearing this, hurriedly climbed down from the bed, her hands and feet disorderly, went to the living room to find the first aid kit. While looking for it, she saw the fallen auntie on the floor but didn’t have the courage to confirm if she was alive or dead.

Grabbing the first aid kit, the mother-in-law took out items to stop the father-in-law’s bleeding, then moved him to a cleaner part of the carpet to lay him down.

The place he lay before was soaked with blood.

While she busied herself stopping Yue Wenwen’s father’s bleeding, Grandfather Shan had entered the bathroom to take a bath, with the bathroom door left open. As soon as she settled the father-in-law aside, Grandfather Shan’s voice called out from inside, "Come in..."

Hearing the voice, the mother-in-law could only tremble as she stepped inside, and another round of torment ensued.

The next day, after having a good meal and rest, Xiaoli feeling refreshed and assured went to the hospital.

But upon arriving, she heard that Yue Wenwen was on leave, and when she tried calling her, the phone was off.

Xiao Li quickly called Hua Xiaochun, "Xiachun. Yue Wenwen took a few days off, do you know why?

I just tried calling her, but her phone was off."

"She should be on a plane right now, so her phone’s turned off. Her mom called her yesterday saying she felt lonely and wanted to see her, so Yue Wenwen took leave to return home." Hua Xiaochun said indifferently.

Hearing that Yue Wenwen’s mom wanted to see her, Xiao Li found it odd. Didn’t the mother-daughter relationship used to be poor?

Thinking this, Xiao Li asked, "Did her relationship with her mom improve?"

"I’m not sure. Before, Yue Wenwen mentioned when she called home, only her brother would answer, the others wouldn’t.

But her mom called her last night, so who knows what the relationship between them is like now?" Hua Xiaochun responded noncommittally.

Despite some doubts, Xiao Li didn’t press further, and after exchanging a few more words with Hua Xiaochun, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Xiao Li immediately called Qin Xiao to inform him of the situation, "Uncle. Didn’t you say Gu Zhiyuan’s biological father might return to find Yue Wenwen’s mom.

Do you think Yue Wenwen being called home at this time could be related to him?"

Qin Xiao remained silent for a moment, then said, "Probably. My people have arrived near the Yue Family’s house, and while it was uncertain before if that person had found them, now listening to you, it seems he probably has.

Nini, rest assured, I’m also rushing there now, nothing will happen."

Grandfather Shan is a dangerous figure, and for him to have escaped his grasp twice before, Qin Xiao wouldn’t let him go this time. He would surely apprehend him.

Such a person who poses danger to Nini, Qin Xiao wouldn’t leave a single one alive.

Xiao Li, surprised, asked, "You’re going in person? Why didn’t you tell me this morning? You knew I’d want to go too, didn’t you?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiao replied succinctly.

With him being so direct, Xiao Li had nothing more to say, "Take care!"

"Alright."

At the airport, Yue Wenwen got into a car and hurried home after leaving the airport.

At this moment she was unaware that her mother was digging a pit for her to fall into, happily thinking about going home to accompany her mom properly.

The taxi stopped in front of the Yue family’s small villa, and Yue Wenwen got out of the car. She dragged her luggage to the door and rang the bell, but after a while, no one answered.

Seeing no one come to open the door, Yue Wenwen took out the keys from her bag and opened the door.

Opening the door and entering with her luggage, as she reached the living room, she saw the auntie on the ground and quickly ran over...

"Auntie, Auntie..." Yue Wenwen first turned the person over, calling out to her while checking her pulse and breath.
