Chapter 79: Kicked Awake!

Chen Susu’s delicate and gentle face was now incredibly distorted.

Her eyes were bloodshot, glaring at him with hatred and anger:

"Get out, you traitor! Why are you coming to see us!"

Lu Qi endured the pain in his hand, his eyes getting visibly misty.

He curled up in pain, quietly sobbing: "Mom, I didn’t..."

"I’m not your mom! You’re not my son, I don’t have a son like you!"

Chen Susu had bottled up a lot of anger tonight; thinking that it was all caused by Lu Qi made her furious, she sneered:

"Are you satisfied seeing us like this now? You like your sister, Li Li, so much, why don’t you go be Lu Junhan’s son! Why come here looking for us? Get out now!"

"Mom..."

Lu Qi stumbled as he climbed up from the ground, his small hand reaching to grab her hand, his voice choked with tears: "Mom, I was wrong, please don’t leave me..."

Chen Susu pushed him away again with all her strength, not holding back one bit; anyone would have thought Lu Qi was her enemy from the way her sharp voice increased several decibels:

"I told you to get out! Didn’t you hear me? Get out!"

Lu Qi fell heavily to the ground once more.

His eyes were red as he stared blankly at his hysterical mother, biting his lower lip tightly, his whole body trembling.

No!

This was not his mother.

His mother would never treat him like this.

"You crazy woman, what are you yelling about!"

Nearby, Lu Tianhua came over and started scolding Chen Susu.

After finishing, he squatted down and helped the fallen Lu Qi up.

Chen Susu’s expression was icy: "Did I curse wrongly? If not for his betrayal..."

Seeing it was him, a hint of hope and joy flickered in Lu Qi’s eyes, his lips mumbled, almost calling out "Dad," but then heard Lu Tianhua quietly say to Chen Susu:

"If you want to yell, do it at home! The old man will be here soon; if he sees you treating Qiqi like this, neither of us will be able to face the consequences!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy seemed as if his soul had left him, looking at him numbly while his small hand unknowingly loosened its grip.

The call of "Dad" ultimately remained unsaid.

The joy and excitement in his dark eyes gradually turned dim, like a black hole devoid of any light.

His tears somehow stopped falling and not even the intense pain from the fall could be felt anymore.

It felt as if in an instant, all emotions were drained from him.

Later, when the old man came over, he just lifelessly watched his mom and dad shower him with concern and countless praises.

Their current appearance was identical to how his mom and dad used to be.

As if the previous horrific faces had all been his hallucination.

...

In the middle of the night.

The young girl sleeping soundly on Lu Junhan’s bed suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

Her ears twitched, as if she had heard something, and her little body suddenly got up from the bed, intending to go find her brother!

There was a small bedside lamp on in the room, which wasn’t glaring, barely allowing her to see the way.

The little girl tilted her head to look at her dad sleeping on the outside.

Even while sleeping, her dad had a cold and sinister aura.

The handsome, unapproachable face seemed to be telling people that if anyone dared to disturb his sleep, he’d twist their heads off.

Luckily, the girl was naturally oblivious and not afraid of her dad, but she didn’t want to wake him either.

Her dad had finally managed to fall asleep.

So, she cautiously lifted her chubby little legs, carefully stepping over the "quilt" mountain in the middle...

But evidently, she overestimated the length of her legs, her fair little foot slipped, causing her to tumble over.

In the chaos, she kicked her dad’s face, directly waking him up!
