My mother was obviously furious. She pointed at me, slapped me, and said without thinking, âWhy are you so cheap?! How did I give birth to such a shameless daughter like you?! Other peopleâs daughters are very obedient, but why did I have to put up with such a disappointing thing like you?! Are you trying to anger me to death, to anger your father to death?!â
Dongyu walked over and pulled her back. âMom! Calm down. Xiachun is young and insensible. Donât blame her!â
âIf sheâs not to be blamed, then who is to be blamed!?â
My mother pushed him aside. âGet out of the way!â
Then, she grabbed my arm and dragged me off the bed. She was so angry that she grabbed my clothes and started hitting me. âJust watch how Iâm going to deal with you today! So what if I hit you? I donât have a daughter like you! Iâll just beat you to death! Get you over and done with!â
She cursed and slapped me.
Su Qi immediately rushed forward to protect me and cried, âAuntie, Xiachun just came out from surgery. Donât do this! Her body canât take it!â
âYouâre protecting her are you? Believe me, Iâll beat you up too!â
My mother screamed hysterically, âIf I had known that youâd be so disappointing and such a disgrace, I would have aborted you when I was pregnant with you! I shouldnât have kept you! If only I had aborted you! I donât have a daughter like you, I donât have a daughter like you!â
When I heard that, I started trembling violently. With an expressionless face, I knelt on the ground in front of her.
âMom, I know I was wrong. So, hit me however you want. I wonât complain even if you beat me to death! But⦠please can you not scold me?â
I knew humiliation, and I knew shame too.
Iâd rather she hit me hard than say such cruel things.
When Dongyu heard this, he lost it. He lunged at her and pushed her away abruptly, shouting, âMom, shut up! Itâs time to stop!â
He turned around and looked at me. His eyes were filled with pain. He clenched his fists and said, âSheâs my sister and your daughter! Donât you think youâre being too cruel with your words?â
âYouâ¦â
My mother looked at him in shock. She probably found it hard to believe that the usually obedient Dongyu would refute her like this!
My father stood by the side and sighed. He questioned me, âThen tell me, who is the father of the child?! Who did this to you?!â
I said nothing.
Dongyu looked at me nervously. Suddenly, he knelt beside me and pulled me into his arms. He said to my father, âDad, donât force her! If she doesnât want to talk, donât ask anymore.â
âSuch a big thing has happened. Canât I even ask?!â
My father continued angrily, âAs long as she doesnât tell us who that boy is, Iâm not going to let her step into our house!â
Su Qi suddenly stood up. âItâs me!â
His mother looked at him in surprise. âYou?â
Dongyu suddenly looked up and glared at him angrily. His eyes were immediately bloodshot. âSu Qi, is it really you?â
âItâs me.â
Su Qi nodded, gritting his teeth. âI will be responsible.â
Dongyu suddenly stood up and punched him in the face.
âSu Qi, you bastard!â
I had never seen Dongyu so furious before. It was as if he had transformed into a ferocious beast, pressing Su Qi onto the bed and punching him in the face!
The scene turned chaotic!
Even I was too shocked to react!
