Chapter 256: Chapter 252: From Now On, It’s Over

Mr. Liu scolded, “No matter what, it’s still a piece of flesh that came from you. Just give a little admonishment.”

Mrs. Liu, despite being domineering at home as usual, inherently felt uneasy and guilty when faced with Mr. Liu.

After all, she felt she was at fault, bringing shame to the Liu Family.

Other families had flourishing descendants, while she had struggled for so many years to have just one son.

If it were someone else’s family, surely she’d be beaten often, but Mr. Liu seldom laid a hand on her.

For this, Mrs. Liu felt grateful in her heart.

“Alright,” Mrs. Liu softened her tone, “I won’t say anymore, okay?”

Mr. Liu, frowning, walked into the house with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Mrs. Liu let out a sigh of relief but didn’t forget to give Liu Tingmei a fierce glare, “Useless thing.”

Liu Tingmei shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

Liu Simei yawned, “Sis, it’s still early now, I’m going to sleep. If you’re not tired, then clean up the stuff in the yard and make breakfast while you’re at it.”

Seeing Liu Tingmei remain silent, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in Liu Simei’s eyes, “Right.

You better clean up fast. There’s a pile of clothes over there too. Finish them early, don’t delay the morning work.”

After giving her orders, Liu Simei hummed a tune as she went indoors.

Liu Tingmei stood in place, numb and sorrowful.

She didn’t even know why her life had turned out like this.

Even though she was tired and sleepy, she still had to muster the energy to do the chores.

If the chores weren’t done and left until the next day for her mother to see, she would still have to do it and get a beating too.

Wen Ran saw Liu Tianci leave the house and sneaked around to hide at the back.

In the darkness, under the moonlight, Liu Tianci’s figure swayed.

Wen Ran frowned, feeling that there was definitely something wrong with the Liu Family.

Not like a family at all, more like a household with a strict hierarchy.

In a proper household, one would find the master, young master, and a family of esteemed ladies living there, while here, it was a bunch of uncouth peasants.

Are the women of the Liu Family pitiful?

Pitiful, yes, but the things they plotted against Wen Ran were also quite hateful.

Without hesitation, Wen Ran’s indifferent gaze swept over the small courtyard, following the direction Liu Tianci had disappeared to.

She moved quietly, especially since Liu Tianci, not very bright, was just focused on walking and didn’t look back. Wen Ran found following him was incredibly easy.

At first, Wen Ran thought this kid Liu Tianci was having a secret rendezvous with Zhang Sisi.

She even thought she hit the jackpot today.

Two birds with one stone.

But as Liu Tianci walked further into the remote area, Wen Ran began to realize something was amiss.

This kid wasn’t up to something bad, was he? The direction didn’t even lead to the educated youth spot.

If they arranged to meet in such a remote place…

Wen Ran could only say these two are brainless and senseless.

“Sweetheart~”

Liu Tianci smiled, “How come you’re here?”

The woman clung to Liu Tianci, giggling, “You didn’t show up at the agreed time, can’t I worry a bit?”

“Oh dear,” Liu Tianci’s hand wandered south, “I didn’t say you couldn’t worry. I was just thinking it’s cold outside and didn’t want you to freeze.”

“If you’re really afraid I might get cold, then why don’t you marry me?”

The woman raised her eyes, her fingers circling on Liu Tianci’s chest, “Then I’d be dangling in front of you every day.

Then you wouldn’t have to worry about this and that.”

Liu Tianci chuckled silently, deliberately changing the subject, “Alright, alright, let’s talk inside.”

What a joke, a woman like her, unclean, could be slept with for a piece of bread. He’d be insane to marry her.

Then the entire brigade of men would laugh behind his back, calling him a living cuckold.

Have some fun with her, it’s all just a fake show of affection.

Anyone who genuinely fell in love would be the real fool.

“Humph, I knew it, you always called me sweetheart, my little darling, but it was all deceit.”

The woman, held by Liu Tianci, was taken inside.

Wen Ran continued to approach, circling the small secluded courtyard until she found the best eavesdropping spot.

Just during that brief walk around, the couple inside had already started their love scene.

Wen Ran, forced to listen to unity, was speechless: “…”

Wearing a pained expression, like in a *face.jpg file.

Luckily, after just over five minutes, it quieted down again.

The woman’s voice sweetly asked, “Tianci, why don’t you want to marry me?

Haven’t I poured my heart out to you enough?

Besides, I’ve already given my body to you. Isn’t it your responsibility to take care of me?”

Liu Tianci frowned, slightly irritated, brushing off, “Many people have poured their hearts out to me, am I supposed to marry each of them?”

“Oh, you heartless thing. When the pants are off, I’m your sweetheart.

Once they’re on, I’m just a weed by the roadside, someone you can’t stand to look at.

In that case, don’t come looking for me anymore. Let’s part ways. Anyway, you’re getting married and will have that girly student, live your life well and let’s just break it off.”

With that, the woman smiled sweetly, pushed Liu Tianci away, and turned to sleep at a distance.

Only leaving Liu Tianci with a view of her back.

It was pure posturing in her words.

The implication was quite clear, you should coax me now, just say some sweet words and I’ll forgive you.

Yet Liu Tianci indeed intended to.

He had discovered through interacting with Zhang Sisi that she was not someone who would be wronged, much less someone who could forgive his misbehavior.

That woman had a fierce disposition, intolerant of any nonsense.

If she ever found out about the mess he was involved in, she could tear the house down.

With the housing situation still unresolved, he absolutely didn’t want to make extra trouble.

Thinking that since they were getting married next month, he could tolerate a little more delaying.

Once married, he could then play around; wouldn’t that be okay?

As for this woman in front of him…

To be harsh, he didn’t even know how many men she’d been with, he wasn’t at all intrigued, so let it go.

At least he could sleep through the night peacefully, without getting up halfway.

“Fine.”

A casually spoken “fine” left the woman dumbfounded, completely shocked by how heartlessly Liu Tianci acted.

“Liu Tianci, you…”

In the time it took for her to turn, Liu Tianci had already gotten up, dressing himself and casually said, “Let’s end this well, from now on, don’t mention me to others.”

“No,” the woman was unwilling. Liu Tianci might be average in everything else, but he was loaded with cash.

With a little sweet talk, one could really get some money tickets out of him.

“Boohoo,” in desperation, the woman covered her face and cried.
