Cheng Sang watched the woman acting crazy. Clearly, she still had a shred of reason left, and her mind didn't seem completely muddled. There was still a glint of lucidity in her eyes. However, she just didn't want to say more, as if deliberately hiding something.
He had little patience. He simply grabbed the woman by the back of her collar. With a cold look in his eyes and a tone devoid of any warmth, he said, "If you explain clearly what exactly happened now, we might still save your life. Otherwise, we'll leave you here to fend for yourself. Whether it's a ghost coming to take revenge on you or not, you can just wait to die here."
The woman had been screaming and struggling, trying to escape from Cheng Sang's grasp. But as soon as Cheng Sang finished speaking, she threw herself on the ground in extreme fear and pleaded bitterly, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything. Just take me away from here and save me."
Seeing that she stopped pretending to be crazy, Cheng Sang let go of her and took a few steps back in disgust. Standing about a meter away from her, he said coldly, "Since you want to live, then get up and explain the whole thing clearly. Answer my junior sister's questions truthfully."
Seeing this, Zhaozhao let out a sigh of relief. As long as she was willing to talk, it was a good sign.
"Now answer my first question. What happened here?" Zhaozhao straightened up and looked down at the woman who was sobbing softly, asking patiently.
"That woman, that woman... Liang Yueshu has come back for revenge."
"Be more specific."
Perhaps recalling the previous scene, Mrs. Zhuang, who was lying on the ground, shivered. Trembling, she said, "Tonight, when my husband and I were about to go to bed, I saw that woman's face in the mirror again. The talisman paper the master gave me didn't work. She rushed out of the mirror directly. She wanted to kill me! She tightly grabbed my neck. She was trying to strangle me to death!"
Her voice sounded terrified and helpless. Her voice trembled, and her words were intermittent. But Zhaozhao still understood the general idea.
"Second question. Where is your husband, Zhuang Tingzheng? Where did he go?"
Mentioning Zhuang Tingzheng, a look of disgust flashed across the woman's face. Then her eyes burned red with anger, and she shouted hatefully, "He deserves to die! He was taken away by that woman. Hahaha..." Her face was full of madness.
Zhaozhao squatted down and lifted her chin expressionlessly. "Isn't he your husband? Why do you say he deserves it?" There seemed to be more to this couple's relationship than met the eye.
Tears welled up in the woman's eyes. Covering her chest, she looked heart - broken. "He actually wanted to push me to my death. In order to save his own life, he actually wanted to push me to that woman! Do you think he doesn't deserve to die? It was all his doing. How dare he? How could he have the nerve?!"
Her words were jumbled. Zhaozhao paused for a moment and then asked, "You said Zhuang Ming's mother has come back for revenge. What revenge does she want? Why is she coming after you? As far as I know, Zhuang Ming's mother seems to have died due to a miscarriage. What's the connection between you and this?"
Hearing this, the woman's body trembled. She shifted her gaze guiltily and covered her face with her hand. "I don't know. I don't know anything."
She still didn't want to tell the truth at this point. Zhaozhao was completely angry. She grabbed the woman's chin and stared into her eyes. Her eyes were as cold as ice. "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, then just stay in this house and wait for her to come back and drag you to hell." After saying that, she pulled her hand back and was about to leave.
The woman was really scared this time. She suddenly lunged forward and hugged Zhaozhao's leg, holding on to her tightly and crying shrilly, "I'll talk. I'll tell you everything. Just save me."
Zhaozhao turned around, with a cold look in her eyes. She told the woman to explain all the truths clearly.
The woman covered her face and cried intermittently. Choking with sobs, she told the whole story in detail.
It turned out that Zhuang Ming's mother's death was really related to them.
She was the mistress that Zhuang Ming's father had kept outside. Knowing that Zhuang Ming's father didn't have a real emotional relationship with Zhuang Ming's mother, Liang Yueshu, she had the idea of taking Liang Yueshu's place.
She had instigated Zhuang Tingzheng to divorce more than once. But at that time, Zhuang Ming's grandfather, Liang Yueshu's father, was still alive. Zhuang Ming's father couldn't divorce Liang Yueshu.
Zhuang Tingzheng had married into the Liang family. He was just a poor college student from the countryside with nothing. It was because of the favor of Liang Yueshu's father that he was able to marry Zhuang Ming's mother. At that time, Liang Yueshu had broken up with her first love for various reasons and was in a state of not caring about anything. So she didn't object to the marriage proposed by her father and just married Zhuang Tingzheng like this.
And Zhuang Tingzheng took this opportunity to rise into the upper - class society.
At first, Zhuang Ming's grandfather had thought about cultivating this son - in - law well. After all, when he passed away, he would only leave his daughter alone in the world. Naturally, he hoped that his daughter's husband could give his daughter a stable shelter. So he chose Zhuang Tingzheng as the heir.
It was a pity that Zhuang Tingzheng really had no talent for business. No matter how good a project was, it often ended in failure in his hands. As time went on, Zhuang Ming's grandfather gradually gave up the idea. He saw clearly that Zhuang Tingzheng was useless.
He didn't show his dissatisfaction with Zhuang Tingzheng, but he secretly made up his mind to leave his inheritance to his daughter. Even if they couldn't inherit the company or his business, the inheritance left behind would be enough for his daughter to live a carefree life for the rest of her life.
But unfortunately, Mr. Liang, who had been a powerful figure in the business world for many years, also made a wrong judgment. Zhuang Tingzheng overheard his conversation with the lawyer. In fact, Mr. Liang's arrangement was very fair. Although he didn't transfer a large amount of his assets to Zhuang Tingzheng, he still left several houses for this son - in - law.
However, Zhuang Tingzheng's ambition went far beyond this. He had no self - awareness. He couldn't see Mr. Liang's considerations at all. He only knew that the old man still guarded against him and was reluctant to hand over the family property to him. Even though the Liang family had treated him very well and had really regarded him as a family member, the words "marrying into the wife's family" had always weighed on him. The word "ambition" tore at him. He wanted to be noble and at the same time wanted the property.
Facts proved that Zhuang Ming's grandfather's worry was not unfounded. In that situation, his actions completely angered Zhuang Tingzheng, and the resentment in Zhuang Tingzheng's heart grew more and more. He didn't really like Zhuang Ming's mother in the first place. He just fancied the Liang family's wealth. Over the years of marriage to Zhuang Ming's mother, he had always thought that as long as he outlived the old man, good days would come. But unexpectedly, Zhuang Ming's grandfather had a backup plan. This made him furious and so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
The resentment in his heart accumulated day by day, and he gradually had a rebellious thought. So Mr. Liang, who originally could have lived for another half - year, only lived for two more months before leaving the world.
At that time, Zhuang Ming's mother was already pregnant with her second child and was about to give birth. And just at this time, Zhuang Ming's mother discovered his affair.
Even though Liang Yueshu didn't love Zhuang Tingzheng, after so many years of marriage, she still had some feelings for him. At least in her heart, she regarded him as a family member. But as a young lady who had been pampered since childhood, she had her own pride and would never tolerate such a thing happening to her. So she went to catch him in the act herself, took pictures of Zhuang Tingzheng's affair, and wanted to divorce.
That day, Zhuang Ming's mother, with an eight - month - old baby in her belly, went to the club where Zhaozhao and the others had been to catch her husband in the act. Suspecting something was one thing, but seeing it with her own eyes was another. Zhuang Ming's mother was stimulated and said that she would immediately sue for divorce. Whether Zhuang Tingzheng agreed or not, the divorce would happen.
But how could Zhuang Tingzheng be willing to divorce now? If the divorce happened now in this way, all his years of patience and hard work would be in vain. He hadn't gotten the Liang family's property yet. How could he be willing to divorce? He rushed out to explain to Zhuang Ming's mother, but Zhuang Ming's mother was very firm. She didn't believe a single word he said and insisted on divorce. In the scuffle, he accidentally pushed Zhuang Ming's mother down the stairs.
Seeing the blood all over the ground, Zhuang Tingzheng and his mistress were completely panicked. His first thought was to send Liang Yueshu to the hospital. But when he touched Liang Yueshu's body, a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind. Anyway, this woman was going to divorce him, and there was no way to explain things clearly. So he might as well take a chance. Maybe there would be other opportunities.
So he let go of his hand and let the blood spread continuously under Zhuang Ming's mother's body. Zhuang Ming's mother wasn't completely unconscious at that time. She lay on the ground and pleaded with him desperately, hoping that he would save the baby in her belly.
The baby in her belly was already eight months old. As long as Zhuang Tingzheng turned back and sent them to the hospital, the baby would definitely survive. But Zhuang Tingzheng didn't turn back. He left resolutely. Moreover, he found an excuse to send away the cleaner who wanted to come up on that floor. The club had shares of the Liang family, and he was the son - in - law of the Liang family. So it was easy for him to close the club and let Zhuang Ming's mother lie on the ground, gradually losing her life.
He probably never thought that his young son, Zhuang Ming, had secretly followed his mother to the club and witnessed everything.
"It really wasn't me. It really wasn't me. I didn't push her. It was all Zhuang Tingzheng! It was her husband who pushed her. If she wants revenge, why does she still come after me? I tried to persuade Zhuang Tingzheng, but he didn't listen..."
After hearing the whole story, Zhaozhao's eyes were so cold that it seemed she wanted to kill someone. It was the first time Cheng Sang had seen such an expression on his junior sister's face.
"You really deserve to die." Zhaozhao said sarcastically, looking coldly at the crazy woman sitting on the ground.
