Xu He, upon hearing the words, already felt her legs shaking like sieves with fear. Her parched voice still tried to circle the conversation back, "You...no, Zhiming, listen to , actually..."
"Actually what?" Luo Zhiming grabbed her hair with one hand, his eyes full of mockery as he looked at her, "You want to say, the child is actually mine, and everything you said before was nonsense?"
At that mont, although Luo Zhiming did not seem to be exerting too much force or having the intention to harm Xu He, the chilling aura emanating from him and the reckless look in his eyes were truly frightening, like a person on the brink of death having an extraordinary fearlessness in the face of mortality.
If a person truly fears not even death, then probably nothing in this world can scare them.
"I..." This side of Luo Zhiming was sothing Xu He had never seen before, and she didn’t know how to deal with it, montarily frozen in place.
Luo Zhiming looked at her, a cold laugh escaped him, then suddenly he released her hair, "Xu He, I, Luo Zhiming, have been a fool all my life, now I don’t want to be a fool anymore."
"What do you want to do?" Once freed, Xu He’s eyes darted around, thinking about how to escape from here as quickly as possible. At this mont, money and all other things were the least of her concerns - being able to save her own life would be a stroke of imnse luck.
While she was talking, she made a run for the door, thinking Luo Zhiming wasn’t paying attention.
But she underestimated Luo Zhiming. At this point, if Luo Zhiming was still going to let her off easily, then why would he have bothered doing so much?
Luo Zhiming moved faster than her to the doorway, and sohow produced a gleaming kitchen knife from nowhere, now in his hand.
His deanor had changed from the seemingly calm one before, he suddenly grabbed Xu He, pressed the kitchen knife against her neck, and whispered fiercely into her ear, "Xu He, do you know what I want most right now? I want you dead. Only with your death, will I feel my life hasn’t been in vain."
The knife against her neck, Xu He could feel the blade’s icy coldness, as if it would sever her neck the next second; she dared not argue back.
But she also knew arguing with Luo Zhiming now was pointless. She started to scream, "Help, help !"
"Shut up." Luo Zhiming stopped her, not because he feared soone would be alard by her, but rely because her noisy cries were aggravating.
When Luo Zhiming ca ho earlier today and saw the money on the passbook, confirming that what Luo Zhiyong and his wife had said was true, he had already decided on his plan.
His life had turned out this way; no money, no prospects, even desiring a son was played with by Xu He. Living was aningless to him, but if he was to die, he would take Xu He with him, and he would not let her die easily.
Although Xu He’s screams were not very loud, they were enough to wake Zhou Yuni, who was sleeping next door.
Zhou Yuni got up, knocking on the door from outside, "What’s going on, what’s happening?"
Luo Zhiming heard Zhou Yuni’s voice, opened the door, and Zhou Yuni, seeing the situation with Luo Zhiming and Xu He, was startled, stuttering as she shouted, "Son, what’s wrong with you, why bring out a knife? A couple’s fight doesn’t need to escalate to this extent."
Perhaps the voice of Zhou Yuni was loud enough to wake the child sleeping inside the room. Zhou Yuni imdiately returned to the room to pick up the child, then seeing Luo Zhiming still holding the knife, she quickly stepped inside and closed the door, shouting at Luo Zhiming, "Put away the knife quickly, don’t scare the child."
Speaking of the child, Luo Zhiming suddenly broke down. The hand holding the knife slowly drooped, as he sat on the floor by the door, crying to Zhou Yuni, "Mom, I’m sorry for you, so sorry."
"What happened?"
Crying, Luo Zhiming said, "You’ve always wanted a grandson, wanted to have a child, but I’m useless, I can’t fulfill your wish."
"What... nonsense are you talking, child..." Zhou Yuni looked at the child in her arms, not understanding Luo Zhiming’s words.
"Mom, the child in your arms isn’t mine, it’s Xu He and Shuanzi’s..." As Luo Zhiming ntioned Xu He, his tears stopped, and his eyes turned fierce again as he pointed at Xu He, "No, not even. The child of Xu He and Shuanzi was already sold to Shuanzi, now this child we don’t even know where it cos from. I heard it from my brother and sister-in-law that probably Xu Huhua bought it sowhere with money, just to deceive us for a lifeti."
Zhou Yuni couldn’t fully digest the aning of Luo Zhiming’s words, she only caught the ntion of big brother and sister-in-law, then sowhat disoriented, she asked, "Did you visit your brother and sister-in-law today?"
Luo Zhiming nodded, "I originally thought since we are going to leave, we may not co back for a while, I wanted to see my dad and Haohao, but I never expected Xu He, this wretched woman, to hide these things and do so much behind our backs."
"The child she was originally pregnant with was never mine, it was when Shuanzi ca to our house to collect debts, she hooked up with him and then got pregnant with Shuanzi’s child. Afterwards, to make us believe, she lied about the due date, so we didn’t suspect anything."
"But that wasn’t enough, after she gave birth awhile back, she sold the child to Shuanzi and randomly brought another child to us, treating us like fools and playing us."
Now Zhou Yuni finally understood what Luo Zhiming was saying, but she still couldn’t accept it, retorting, "How... how could this be possible? She went to the hospital for checkups several tis, we were all there, the doctor didn’t say anything about the dates being wrong."
Luo Zhiming had no energy left to care about those details. He believed that if Xu He had the nerve to do so much behind their backs, there was nothing she couldn’t do.
He called out hoarsely to Zhou Yuni, as if to awaken her, "Mom, what’s there to doubt at this point, this wretched woman has already admitted it herself just now."
Zhou Yuni was completely alerted by these words, her eyes turning fierce as she looked towards Xu He.
Cornered by the two mbers of the Luo Family, Xu He was utterly clueless on how to react; she felt that at any second, she might get killed by them. She tried to defend herself, "It’s not, I didn’t, mom, I..."
This ti Zhou Yuni didn’t believe her at all, she put down the child, and lunged at Xu He, "You wretched woman, you’ve made us suffer so much, today I truly want your life."
