Chapter 452 - Afford to Lose (1/2)

”… There was a time when he was listless and couldn't sleep well, and his temper was extremely unstable as well. After that, I met a man who said he had a drug that could stabilize a person's mood. At that time, I thought that as long as his mood was peaceful, he would stop thinking about certain stuff… so I tried to get some.

”It's just… when I gave Lui some, his mood would lift instantly, and he stopped thinking about that woman so I thought the drug worked.

”… So I kept feeding him.

”Until that man came and looked for me four years later. He said it was poison and forced me to…”

Li Manni stopped abruptly, but everyone knew what she was going to say.

Then, that person forced her to bed? So she had another man and got pregnant with a child, but that child wasn't Chu Lui's. Yet, she still wanted to throw the ball to Chu Lui and make the Chu family raise someone else's rogue child up?

”But I never imagined that the drug would make… make someone…”

Li Manni continued to speak, almost rambling. It was as if a bomb suddenly went off inside her without a single warning. The child inside her was supposed to be her ticket to getting everything, but now, it made her lose everything in a flash. An infertile man could never make his wife pregnant so the child inside her was not the Chu family's.

Mrs. Li's eyes widened. Gosh. What did she hear? Her daughter had drugged Chu Lui for four years so now Chu Lui was unable to give birth. No wonder Chu Lui never suspected that Manni's baby was his because he could never have a child. No matter how many children Li Manni carried, none of them would be Chu Lui's.

In that instant, her limbs flailed uselessly. If that was the case, then haven't they crossed the Chu family immensely? She had planned to come over to apologize to them and see if their relationship could be mediated, but now, she knew that there was nothing to mediate. This was the greatest misdeed—ending their bloodline.

She slumped to the floor helplessly. Mrs. Li was forlorn, too. She didn't believe that it was true. She didn't want to believe it was true… that her daughter's baby wasn't the Chu family's. If it wasn't the Chu family's, then what else does their Li family have?

”Li Manni, you better leave with that child. Otherwise, I'll make you go to jail.” Chu Lui's voice was serious and wispy, but it was extremely terrifying.

”Leave now.” Chu Lui pointed to the door, his voice extremely low. If not for his calm self-discipline all these years, he would have murdered her on the spot.

Mrs. Li snapped out of her daze and helped Li Manni up from the floor and left hurriedly. They did not dare to stay any longer; otherwise, they would really lose their lives.

”Jingtang, throw all these things away. We can still afford to throw these.” Song Wan waved her hand weakly. She didn't want to look at the things on the sofa anymore: tiny clothes and tiny shoes all prepared. She had placed them there in anticipation of her grandchild every day, but now, she felt like it was all mocking her. The grandchild she had looked forward to for four years was actually someone else's, and she might never have a real grandchild.

Never ever.

Du Jingtang nodded. He didn't care that he had lugged them in strenuously just a few moments ago. Now, he wasn't willing to take another look at them, too. With baggage in both hands, he followed behind the Li mother and daughter with his lips pursed. If they were not already dressed nicely, he would have trashed them with these bags.
