"How can that be right? If it weren’t for sothing happening with the Guard Team, I would have gone as soon as I got the news. That’s my own son. Hearing the news about Lele being gone, you know how terrible I feel inside. Right now, I just want to see Taotao as soon as possible. Fine, no more talking, I’m leaving." Huang Xiaowei put on his hat and left.
For a mont, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Huang Xiaoyu sat at the dining table, looking at the already prepared dishes on the table with no appetite at all, just sitting there quietly in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Huang Xiaoyu stood up dully and went to the door to open it. When she saw who was outside, she instinctively wanted to close the door, but the person outside forced their way in.
Huang Xiaoyu kept retreating, her face pale, but had to speak, "Sister-in-law Sun, y-you’re... back?"
"Back, of course I have to co back. Lele is gone, why would I stay in the hospital? I ca back to ask you, why did you stand by and do nothing? Why didn’t you report what you knew? Is a human life so worthless to you? Huang Xiaoyu, Li Lele was your student too, how could you be so heartless?" Sister-in-law Sun stepped into the house, her eyes red and bloodshot, looking extrely fierce.
"Sister-in-law Sun, I didn’t know, I really didn’t know the child in the water was from our compound. Right, I was not able to, yeah, I wasn’t able to go into the water," Huang Xiaoyu fumbled for a la excuse, staring at Sun Lifang as she explained.
"You weren’t able to go into the water, but why didn’t you report it? Why didn’t you ask the Guard Team mbers for help?" Sun Lifang pressed on.
"Bang" Huang Xiaoyu accidentally bumped into the table, and the half-cup of water spilled to the ground, smashing with a "crash" into pieces.
"I... I..."
Under Sun Lifang’s relentless pressure, Huang Xiaoyu was powerless to resist. Her indifferent gaze froze her inch by inch like a cold tide, her mouth opened but couldn’t form a complete sentence.
"No words to say? Then I’ll say it for you," Sun Lifang sneered, her laughter mingled with her already hoarse voice sounded eerie and terrifying, with her forcibly pulled mouth corner and red swollen eyes making her look even more nacing.
"Huang Xiaoyu, who doesn’t know about your intentions? You just have a thing for Captain Mu, right? When An Ran ca to the Guard Team, you held yourself high, wanting to show you were more outstanding, more noble, more beautiful than her. But after the performance, you knew An Ran and Captain Mu were already married. No matter how many thoughts you had, ddling in a military marriage ans facing a military court. You were unwilling but had no choice. But you didn’t expect, today you had an opportunity, An Ran went into the water to save soone. At that mont, you weren’t thinking about going in to save people, but rather hoping she couldn’t save them and drown along with them. This way, Captain Mu would be a widower, and you’d have another chance, right?"
Huang Xiaoyu slumped into the chair behind her. Though she had indeed thought that way, hearing it so bluntly stated made her feel ashad, especially since the one who spoke her thoughts was Sun Lifang.
"Huang Xiaoyu, when you were entertaining those twisted thoughts, did you ever think there were two innocent children in the water? Did you think about them? My Lele was so young; he wasn’t even eight years old, not even eight! No, you didn’t think about them, you wouldn’t even spare your own nephew, how could you think about my poor Lele?"
