My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 613: Extra Chapter 026 I’m Supporting You Only to Humiliate You (First Update)

“You beastly creature!” Wan Quan cursed at Mu Cidian with deep hatred.

Mu Cidian didn’t say a word.

Under many watchful eyes, he roughly grabbed his mother’s arm and forcibly dragged her out of the restaurant.

The three women who had come with them hurriedly made excuses and left on their own.

Mu Cidian hailed a taxi and led Wan Quan into it.

Wan Quan was still cursing loudly.

The taxi driver looked over his shoulder and suggested, “Maybe you should get out and talk properly…”

“Drive!” Mu Cidian demanded loudly.

The driver was startled by Mu Cidian’s ferocity and had no choice but to start the car and drive off.

Wan Quan started to scratch and bite at Mu Cidian.

She venomously spat, “Mu Cidian, what attracts you about Xin Zaozao? Why do you disgrace yourself like this for her? Don’t you have any self-respect at all? How could you disrespect your deceased father like this?”

“You think my father would be happy seeing me being reduced to this by you?”

“Mu Cidian!”

“Haven’t you ruined my life enough over the years?!” Mu Cidian glared back fiercely at Wan Quan.

His face distorted with anger.

“Mu Cidian!” Wan Quan shrieked,”Now you dare to blame me! I gave birth to you, I raised you, I cultivated you! And now, not only are you ungrateful, but you’re blaming me! How could you be so heartless! Xin Zaozao has bewitched you so thoroughly that you’re willing to abandon your mother for her, aren’t you!”

“I really don’t want you anymore!” Mu Cidian’s voice rang out, emphasizing each word.

Wan Quan glared furiously at Mu Cidian.

“I really don’t want you anymore! Mother, don’t wear away all the fondness I have for you until nothing is left! I was hoping to live a good life with you after my release, not to return to the way things were before! If that’s the way things are going to be, then let’s sever our ties!”

“Are you threatening me, Mu Cidian? Do you think I can’t survive without you! Do you really believe I can’t live without you?” Her tears streamed down her face. She wished she could kill Mu Cidian then and there, or strangle that bitch Xin Zaozao!

“If that’s the case, then take care of yourself!” Mu Cidian said, and then he shouted at the driver, “Stop the car!”

The driver was taken aback, but he quickly pulled over.

“Mu Cidian!” Wan Quan grabbed hold of Mu Cidian.

At that moment, Mu Cidian was already opening the car door to get out.

“Where are you going?”

“To Xin Zaozao’s place!”

“Mu Cidian!”

“Let go!” Mu Cidian’s voice was cold.

“Mu Cidian, if you dare go to Xin Zaozao’s place, I’ll die in front of you!”

Mu Cidian turned to look at Wan Quan.

She said with a hateful voice, “If you really do go to Xin Zaozao’s place, I’ll die right here in front of you! I’d like to see if you would really push your own mother to death, and see if a filial-less person like you would get struck by lightning for karmic retribution!”

Mu Cidian stared straight at Wan Quan. A cruel smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Mother, I’ve always treated you like a mother, but you’ve always treated me like a tool. Other than forcing me to do things I don’t want to, what else have you done for me?!”

“Mu Cidian!” Wan Quan, pushed to her limits, broke down.

“If you want to die, then die. I’ll take care of your body.”

“Mu Cidian, you heartless creature, you’re willing to abandon even your own mother for a woman! Don’t you fear being struck by a car when you walk out that door?”

Mu Cidian suddenly shoved Wan Quan.

He shoved her with such force.

Wan Quan was thrown violently against the car door on the other side.

Mu Cidian slammed the car door shut and walked off without looking back.

Wan Quan glared at Mu Cidian’s retreating figure, watching him walk away with such resolution.

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Her eyes were flashing with cruelty!

She would never, never let Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao be together just like that.

She would never let that woman Xin Zaozao have a good life!

She would never, not even if she were to die!

…

Mu Cidian was walking aimlessly on the streets.

Alone, he had no idea how long he had walked.

The weather in Jin City was already gloomy that day.

When night fell, it started to rain.

Mu Cidian stopped at the entrance of a residential community.

He didn’t step inside, nor did he seek shelter from the rain.

He was completely drenched.

He stopped by at a convenience store to buy a packet of cigarettes.

This was his first cigarette since his time in prison.

He smoked a lot.

He left a pile of cigarette butts on the ground.

At that moment, he truly had no idea where he should go or what he should do next.

Xin Zaozao hadn’t called him.

Strictly speaking, Xin Zaozao never made the first move to contact him. She would occasionally reply when he reached out to her.

He extinguished his last cigarette butt.

He walked into the residential complex.

He opened the door to Xin Zaozao’s home.

It was quiet inside the house.

It was already past 11 PM. Xin Zaozao was probably asleep.

He tried his best to make no noise, carefully opened the door to the bedroom.

The door opened, Xin Zaozao was sat on the edge of the bed looking at her phone.

She hadn’t gone to sleep.

Mu Cidian watched her.

Xin Zaozao also looked up at him.

They locked eyes for a few seconds.

Xin Zaozao averted her eyes, “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Mu Cidian didn’t say anything.

“Didn’t your mother try to forcefully stop you from coming here by threatening to end her own life?”

Mu Cidian didn’t reply to that, he said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Xin Zaozao watched him, soaked from head to toe.

She didn’t say any more.

Mu Cidian walked into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Mu Cidian took off his wet clothes.

There were multiple scratches and bites on his body.

They were most noticeable on his face and neck.

He couldn’t hide them.

But he seemed relatively unperturbed.

He calmly cleaned himself up, put on some dry sleepwear and come out with his hair dried.

Xin Zaozao was still sitting at the edge of the bed, engrossed with her phone.

Mu Cidian sat by the bed, without getting into it.

Xin Zaozao turned to look at him.

Mu Cidian said, “I’m really sorry about what happened tonight.”

Xin Zaozao chuckled a little, “It’s not your fault.”

Mu Cidian pursed his lips.

Xin Zaozao added, “Well, for a dutiful son like you, your mother’s mistakes are also yours. If you’re here to apologize on behalf of your mother, then don’t bother. I can’t forgive her, just like she can’t forgive me.”

Mu Cidian thought about it and had to agree.

“But Mu Cidian, have you ever considered cutting ties with your mother?” Xin Zaozao asked him seriously.

Mu Cidian chose to remain silent.

“How about this.” Xin Zaozao looked at Mu Cidian, “You promise to never have anything to do with your mother again and announce to the media that you’re cutting ties with her. In exchange, I’ll give you two million. How does that sound?”

Mu Cidian looked at Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao had a gorgeous smile on her face.

It had been a long time since Mu Cidian had seen Xin Zaozao smile at him.

Even though it seemed forced.

“If you can abandon Wan Quan, name your price.” She said.

“She’s actually having a really hard time.”

“I initially thought she was miserable enough, with no wealth, no status, living a difficult life, I wanted to let her go. But she’s just so ungrateful. She’s riled me up once again. You know, I really want to make her life unbearable now.” Xin Zaozao said, gritting her teeth.

“She doesn’t have the capacity to fight you.”

“Just because she can’t fight me doesn’t mean I should show her mercy. People who are pitiful always have something hateful about them. Wan Quan really exemplifies this.”

Mu Cidian just stared at Xin Zaozao.

“So, do you think I’ve changed?” Xin Zaozao sneered, “I’ve actually changed a long time ago. Became cruel, ruthless, heartless, completely indifferent towards you. Let me be straightforward. I am keeping you only to humiliate you, to make you experience how it feels to be forced into bed, to be tormented.”

“I know.” Mu Cidian replied.

“Knowing all this, do you think you are degrading yourself by still being with me?”

“Don’t I need to survive?” Mu Cidian said casually.

Xin Zaozao stared at him.

“Compared to washing dishes or carrying bricks, sleeping with you is easier. Besides, it’s not like I have to do it a lot. Why should I refuse because of some so-called dignity?” Mu Cidian seemed at ease.

Xin Zaozao chuckled, “Mu Cidian, you’ve really changed.”

“If you get tired of me, just let me know. I’ll leave.” Mu Cidian said frankly.

“I never liked you.”

Mu Cidian’s eyes flickered slightly.

When he came back here, he was already prepared for the possibility that Xin Zaozao might ask him to leave.

“I was planning to make you leave tonight.” Xin Zaozao said evenly, “But now, I’ve changed my mind. I’m thinking, keeping you might rile up Wan Quan more, make life even harder for you two. Why should I give up this wonderful opportunity to torture you both?”
