After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

Lu Shuyao went into the kitchen, but Li's mother still kept talking.

"Sigh, having a daughter-in-law like this is the worst luck imaginable. In her family, none of the three women are any good. No wonder they can't have a son. Sigh, I should have thought of this sooner."

Thinking of Lu Shiyi's threatening visit a few days ago, she became even angrier. "That bitch Lu Shiyi is no better. She thinks she can act all high and mighty just because she's hooked up with a man..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuyao could no longer bear it and her gaze fell upon the kitchen knife on the table.

She grabbed the kitchen knife, turned around, and rushed out of the kitchen.

Li's mother panicked immediately upon seeing this, "What, what do you want to do??"

Lu Shuyao was very agitated. Holding a kitchen knife, she walked towards her parents-in-law, saying, "You can insult me ​​all you want, but why do you insult my family and my sister? She treats you like family, yet you speak so viciously to her. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

All the emotions that had been building up since her hospitalization erupted the moment Lu Shuyao rushed out of the kitchen.

She didn't want to endure it, and she couldn't endure it anymore. She understood that the consequence of her weakness was that her family would also be implicated and scolded. She wouldn't allow them to utter a single insult against her parents and sister.

She vented her dissatisfaction with her fierce words, which frightened her trembling mother-in-law.

"So you suddenly changed your attitude towards me 180 degrees and said such vicious things to me, just because I didn't give you a grandson or give Haokai a son? Am I your breeding machine?"

"Why did I fall? Why did my baby die? It's all because you guys always make a mess in the bathroom. You knew there was a pregnant woman in the house, but you never paid attention to these things. If there had been even one person at home on the day I went to the hospital, my baby wouldn't have died!"

She was in great pain and felt guilty. If she had chosen to call 120 immediately instead of constantly calling her husband and in-laws, would her baby have received timely treatment?

As Lu Shuyao spoke, tears streamed down her face, but she still gripped the kitchen knife tightly in her hand, pointing it directly at her parents-in-law.

Although Mr. Li was a man, he didn't dare to approach his daughter-in-law because of her current mental state.

She gently advised, "Your mother was upset because she lost the baby, and that's why she said those things unintentionally. Calm down, let's talk it out."

"Speak properly? Why didn't you tell her to speak properly just now??"

As Lu Shuyao spoke, she pointed the kitchen knife directly at her mother-in-law, startling Li's mother into letting out a scream of alarm.

"Yaoyao, I, you..."

Li's mother was so frightened that she couldn't utter a coherent sentence for a long time. She didn't dare to call her son, fearing that her daughter-in-law might do something crazy if she saw this. She could only keep a low profile and try not to provoke her daughter-in-law.

Lu Shuyao raised her sleeve and wiped away her tears. "I may be gentle, but that doesn't mean I can let you bully me like this."

Then, she glared fiercely at her in-laws and said, "Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If anyone ever hurts my family again, I will fight them to the death."

After saying that, she threw down the kitchen knife, slammed the door, and left.

The moment the door slammed shut, Li's mother's legs went weak, and she squatted down on the ground.

After a while, she realized what was happening and started yelling, "Dad, hurry up and get my phone! This is outrageous! I'll make sure Hao Kai comes back and teaches her a lesson!"

When the call was made, Li Haokai was in a meeting with his employees at the company. When he saw it was his mother calling, he interrupted the meeting and went outside to answer the phone.

After returning, his face darkened, he said directly, "That's all for today. Everyone go and have lunch. We'll discuss the remaining issues at the next meeting."

Then he spoke a few words to the secretary beside him about a newly recruited intern the company had recently assigned to him.

He was worried that he wouldn't be able to go to work in the afternoon if he didn't finish dealing with things at home, so he made arrangements with his secretary in advance.

After making the arrangements, he stormed home.

When Li Haokai got home, he learned that his wife had already gone out and was not at home.

Li's mother didn't mention this to him, only saying that Yao Yao was like a madwoman, grabbing a kitchen knife and trying to fight the two elderly people as soon as she got back from the hospital...

Seeing that his parents were alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and then reassured them, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will definitely teach her a lesson. She dared to act crazy towards you, I will make sure she learns her lesson."

Li Haokai was filled with anger. His mother had suffered greatly during childbirth, which made it impossible for her to have children again. As the only son in the family, he could not allow anyone to treat his parents like this.

If Lu Shuyao dares to treat them like this again, he will definitely pick up a kitchen knife and chop back without hesitation.

While comforting his parents, Li Haokai kept calling his wife, only to realize after a while that her phone was on the living room table.

Lu Shuyao put her phone on silent while she was hospitalized and hasn't put it back on yet.

Unable to contact his wife, Li Haokai was so angry that his eyes were practically spitting fire. "I'll just wait for her at home. I refuse to believe that she'll just die out there and never come back."

After saying that, he stayed home and didn't plan to go to work, just waiting for his wife to come back and deal with him.

At this moment, Lu Shuyao, who had just left the house, was wandering the streets like a walking corpse.

She used to despise shrewish women who cursed in the streets, but now she understands them and has become like them.

Thinking about her marriage of less than a year, she couldn't understand what marriage had brought to a woman...

No job, no social life, no friends, no money, no confidence, no sense of security—nothing at all, just a battered and bruised body.

If I had listened to my sister and hadn't gotten married because of pregnancy, would I be different now?

Lu Shuyao stood at the crossroads, staring blankly at the sky. The midday sun made her dizzy, so she instinctively lowered her head again.

What I saw was like the static on a black and white television screen, with no image visible. Even the traffic lights across the street were a blurry mess, their colors indistinguishable.

Just then, a black Maybach sped towards them from not far away.

The man driving the car was wearing a Bluetooth headset and talking on the phone.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the car, making him tense.

"Damn it, what's going on??"

This unexpected situation almost made him utter a phrase from traditional Chinese culture.

The man slammed on the brakes and said into the phone, "I almost hit someone. I'll talk to you later, remember our dinner date."

Fortunately, the car stopped in time before hitting the person, but the woman in front of the car seemed to have lost her soul. No matter how the man gestured or shouted, she just stood in front of the car for a long time without moving.

The man got out of the car angrily.

He was tall and upright, about 1.85 meters, with sharp eyebrows and a high nose bridge, giving him a masculine air, while the cleft chin added a unique charm.

"What's going on? Can't you hear me? Crossing the street without looking at the traffic lights, are you out of your mind?"

The man was furious. "Don't be so reckless with yourself, or you'll bring trouble to others!"

As he was speaking, he saw the woman's body go limp and she faint on the ground.

what's the situation?

He was momentarily stunned. Men hate trouble, especially when it comes to women. He had originally planned to scold her to teach her a lesson, then send her away and leave himself. Who would have thought...

At this moment, pedestrians on the road saw this scene and came over to watch. Even the vehicles that were blocked behind his car started honking their horns frantically, unaware of the situation.

Helpless, the man walked over to the woman, squatted down, and saw that her face was pale and her expression haggard; it really didn't seem like she was faking it...
