Looking closely at Mother Zhuang, she had begun furrowing her brows.

Madam Ding continued, “I’ve studied medical cases similar to yours. You are likely to have forgotten things that have happened to you earlier in your life, but you should still be aware of the ways of the world. Let me tell you about your daughter’s current situation.”

At this point, Madam Ding lowered her head and said, “Nainai’s married to my son, but Gu Deshou is using you as a bartering chip every day to threaten her. Their relationship was already strained to begin with, but because of you, it has been strained further. I hope that you’ll leave with me. I’ll take good care of you and won’t let you suffer from any grievances. You could even live with Nainai! Let’s go look for Nainai and completely break free from Gu Deshou and his family, how about that?”

The more Ding Mengya spoke, the more anxious and antsy Mother Zhuang got. In the end, she sprang to her feet and threw a small flower in her hand toward her face. “Get lost! Bad person! Bad person! You’re a bad person!”

After she said this, she seemed to recall something. She started shaking, then hugged herself and started to find a place to hide in the garden.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She seemed to be very frightened, shouting something nervously as she ran. Then, she wrapped her hands around her head and started to shout.

A group of medical staff appeared around her, surrounding her and making soothing sounds. Ding Mengya stood rooted to the ground not far away. She seemed stunned by this sequence of events.

After Zhuang Nainai heard the experts’ conclusion, her eyes started turning red.

She thought of how Mother Zhuang must have been nervous and uneasy at that point in time and had probably been overcome by fear.

This was the woman who had run her over with a car just five years ago. And she had suddenly appeared in front of her! How could she not be frightened in such a situation?!

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes quickly turned red. She whipped her head around and glared at Si Zhengting. “What is your mother trying to do?! Doesn’t she know that my mother’s still unwell?! What’s the point of aggravating her condition?!”

After she shouted at him, tears rolled down her cheeks. She choked with sobs, then asked, “Si Zhengting, tell me, what does she want to do?”

Wasn’t it enough that she had hurt them five years ago? Why was she trying to hurt them again now?!

Zhuang Nainai choked on her sobs, then slowly squatted down and covered her face with her hands, sobbing uncontrollably.

Upon seeing her in this state, Si Zhengting suddenly felt really helpless.

He knew that his mother had visited Mother Zhuang out of goodwill. The plagiarism matter had left her extremely disgruntled with the Gus. That was why she had thought of coming here and taking Mother Zhuang away.

However... even though she had tried to learn more about Mother Zhuang’s condition before visiting her, she never thought that such an unexpected situation would occur.

Si Zhengting wanted to explain his mother’s intentions to Zhuang Nainai, but upon seeing her current state, he felt his explanations get stuck in his throat.

Could he satisfactorily explain Madam Ding’s behavior and absolve her from liability?

He couldn’t.

At this point in time, Si Zhengting suddenly recalled the debates on the Internet regarding the battle between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

He remembered that in high school, he had already thought about potential conflict arising between Nainai and Madam Ding. Back then, although he had kept everything buried in the depths of his heart, he had already started strategizing for the long term.

He had always felt that Nainai and Madam Ding’s personalities were such that they would not embarrass themselves in public. Thus, they wouldn’t argue with each other.

However, he had never considered the possibility that they would indeed not argue with each other but, instead, have a bigger crisis between them regarding a critical matter.

He gazed at Zhuang Nainai dully, walking over to caress her shoulder gently. She suddenly jerked her head up and said in a lifeless, hopeless tone of voice, “Si Zhengting, if anything happens to my mother, I... won’t forgive her.”
