"Anyway, if your mother-in-law disapproves of you for a long period, it’s definitely the prelude to a disaster. Xu Liyi’s body wasn’t even cold yet when her husband imdiately went on blind dates and got married. The house she had scrimped and saved to buy ended up as the bridal ho for his second marriage. Miss, you can Google this; the news is still out there..."
All of a sudden, Yan Xixi was infuriated. "What the fuck does this an? Are you trying to scare ?"
"Hey, Miss, I’m just looking out for you."
"Who asked you to look out for ? You’re simply malicious."
"Miss, you were the one who first complained to . I’m just afraid that if you weren’t careful after marriage, your mother-in-law would chop off your head."
This statent just added fuel to the fire. Yan Xixi, who was already terrified, completely lost it upon hearing this. Using the voice function, she started cursing, "What the fuck? Instead of promoting reconciliation, you’re promoting separation! Are you out of your mind? You’re talking about beheading too! Do you think everyone in the world is as twisted as you? I bet you’re just hiding behind your phone. You’re probably a psychopath, a serial killer..."
"Hey, I’m staying up late talking to you, wasting my sleep ti, and instead of being grateful, you curse at ? You’re the real maniac! It’s like the dog biting Lu Dongbin—not recognizing a kind heart. I can’t be bothered with you."
"Who wants your attention? You better never bother for the rest of your life. Get lost!"
Wan Donglin laughed bitterly. How did this woman beco such a master of quick changes? She turns hostile in an instant!
That night, Yan Xixi waited for a call or a ssage from Huang Xiaojue, but she didn’t receive anything.
When she finally managed to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly saw the hazy image of an old crone wielding a cleaver coming at her. She sat up, completely covered in cold sweat, realizing the truth in the saying: fret by day, dream by night.
It’s all because of that damn guy! Why did he have to say such terrifying things for no reason?
She couldn’t get back to sleep. She tossed and turned all night, consud by anxiety.
The next morning, she woke up with a throbbing headache. Seeing the bright sun outside, she was horrified. Why hadn’t the alarm gone off? I’m going to be late! She rushed to freshen up. Just as she picked up her toothbrush, she suddenly rembered that today was Sunday.
She put down the toothbrush in disappointnt, went back to her room, and lay down again on her bed. Finally, the phone rang. She picked it up. It was a ssage from Huang Xiaojue. It read, "I do admit my mother has done so very extre things, which I can’t stand either. But after all, she is my mother. What more can I do?"
This out-of-the-blue ssage took her a while to connect to her own ssage from the previous night: "Marriage ans the mother has to step aside."
Was this Huang Xiaojue’s response after a night of thinking?
His point wasn’t wrong either. If I were Huang Xiaojue, how would I respond? Cut all ties with my mother? Never want my mother again? Could any normal man respond like that?
But, sohow, she felt very disappointed. It was as if this wasn’t the answer I was hoping for.
In the afternoon, she felt lethargic and didn’t feel like going anywhere. Work had been hectic. Even after work, she was busy dealing with the house renovations. She hadn’t had a good rest in one or two months, so she and Xu Xiaoya decided to take the day off.
She made two cups of black tea. Suddenly rembering the stranger’s recomndation, she fired up her computer and downloaded "Jiang Ge Unchained" to watch with Xu Xiaoya.
Two years before the Arican Civil War, the German bounty hunter Schultz bought the Negro Jiang Ge from a slave trader, granting him freedom. Schultz then trained Jiang Ge to beco a lawless bounty hunter, capturing various wanted criminals for rewards. Jiang Ge’s main objective, however, was to rescue his wife from the abusive slave owner Calvin.
