Chapter 452 - Afford to Lose (2/2)

Li Manni turned around, wishing to take a last look at the family she stayed in for four years, but her vision blurred as two bags were emptied out in front of her. The tiny clothes and shoes inside and even the milk bottles were strewn carelessly on the floor. Then, another bag followed, and then the door shut harshly in front of her with a thud. That was when she knew that she would never enter again.

She laughed suddenly. Was this the retribution she deserved? Chu Lui was manipulative so he lost Xia Ruoxin. She learned to be calculative, and so she lost Chu Lui. She lowered her head and touched her stomach. It was all his fault. It was all him. If it were not for him, she would never have ended up like this. It's him… he was the one who caused her everything.

She started to hit her own stomach as if she was going mad. ”It was all your fault. You.” Mrs. Li pulled Li Manni's hand away instantly in shock. ”Manni, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?”

Li Manni only laughed deliriously. ”No, I just want to kill this stray seed. Mom, for what reason should he continue to stay in this world? I hate him. I hate him.”

Li Manni clutched the clothes at her chest, which was tight with pain. It was indeed a stray seed so why did she want it?

She closed her eyes. A bead of cold tear dropped from the corner of her eye, filled with perhaps regret or hatred.

Meanwhile, the Chu family was palpitating with tension. Du Jingtang parted his lips to take a deep breath occasionally. He almost felt like he couldn't breathe because the tension was so heavy.

His lips twitched, but he didn't know what to say now.

It seemed like no words would make it better.

Chu Lui walked over and squatted in front of Song Wan, grasping her icy fingers tightly. ”I'm sorry, Mom. It's all my fault.”

Song Wan opened her eyes and placed her hand on her son's face. She caressed the face that had aged immensely overnight. They were old, but her Ah Lui was still so young. How would he live on in the future without a child?

”Ah Lui, my poor child.” Song Wan pulled her son's tall figure into her embrace. She felt Chu Lui's body shivering uncontrollably. No matter how calm and stoic he seemed, he was about to break down at this point.

This was his retribution. It was really karma. He finally understood the despair Xia Ruoxin felt when she found out she would never become a mother.

Du Jingtang looked away, his eyes stinging with tears, too.

What were they to do? Just what?

The pair of mother and daughter from the Li family cut a sorry figure as they stood outside the entrance of the Chu household. Even though few people stayed around here, they were all from prestigious families and backgrounds. Despite not knowing what exactly happened at the Chu family, the sunken faces and despaired looks of the mother and daughter were enough to make people suspect something. Numerous people started to point fingers at them.

Mrs. Li was a regular guest here and always arrived in a stupendous car, clad in designer clothes, and was never lacking various jewels and gems as accessories—unlike now where she didn't even have a ring on. She was already feeling inferior like this, not to mention in other aspects.
