Chapter 375 [Malice]

Lu Sisi’s heart skipped a beat, but when she saw the display on her phone screen, it wasn’t Chen Yan calling, but her mother, Lu Xiuting.

She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Xiuting’s panicked voice came through.

"Sisi, Sisi!! Sisi! I, I..."

·

A rideshare car stopped at the entrance of the villa district.

Lu Sisi hurriedly got out of the car and rushed towards the villas with hurried steps.

Entering the community, she ran to the familiar villa. Lu Sisi saw her mother, Lu Xiuting, holding her brother. The mother and son both looked distressed and somewhat in panic, standing at the gate.

Lu Sisi took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and ran over.

"Sisi..."

Seeing her daughter’s figure, Lu Xiuting’s eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior, and she quickly came over.

When she took a few steps, she stumbled and almost fell, but Lu Sisi hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Lu Sisi looked carefully at Lu Xiuting, seeing the look in her eyes, and sighed in her heart.

Lu Xiuting’s left eye socket was bruised, and there was a slight cut at the corner of her mouth, the blood from the wound already coagulated.

Lu Sisi gritted her teeth, "Did Dad do all this?"

Lu Xiuting nodded angrily, "It was him! I never expected he’d be so cruel, to raise his hand against me!!"

Seeing that Lu Xiuting wanted to say more, Lu Sisi looked at the gate. Her younger brother was timidly standing by the gate, looking at her with anxious eyes.

Lu Sisi squeezed her mother’s arm, pulling her to the gate, freeing a hand to hug her brother, "Were you... scared?"

Her brother hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and said nothing, but his eyes clearly carried a trace of tension, panic, and fear.

Lu Sisi sighed, "Let’s go inside first."

·

Half an hour ago, Lu Sisi received a call from Lu Xiuting. Over the phone, Lu Xiuting, with a crying voice, confided in her daughter, saying Yang Jiaming had domestically abused her.

On the phone, Lu Xiuting cried to her daughter, saying she was thrown out by Yang Jiaming and was homeless.

Helpless, Lu Sisi told Lu Xiuting to go to the villa.

She didn’t let Lu Xiuting come to the apartment to find her, because Lu Sisi knew very well, although Chen Yan maintained basic politeness towards her parents, he actually always had a poor impression of the Yang Family.

If Lu Xiuting came to the apartment, stayed at her home, given Chen Yan’s feelings toward her, he most likely wouldn’t say anything and would accept it.

But he definitely wouldn’t be comfortable with it inside.

So Lu Sisi told her mother to meet her at the villa at that time.

On the way, Lu Sisi called Chen Yan from the car, but the call went unanswered. Helpless, Lu Sisi edited a message, roughly explaining the situation, and sent it to Chen Yan.

But all the way here, Chen Yan didn’t reply to the message either.

·

"Hiss!"

Lu Xiuting winced in pain, and Lu Sisi instinctively softened her already gentle actions a bit more. Her fingertips held a cotton ball soaked in medical solution, gently wiping the wounds on her mother’s face and mouth.

Lu Xiuting cried and finally explained the situation:

A few days after returning from Port City, actually, the relationship between Lu Xiuting and Yang Jiaming seemed to have eased superficially.

Mainly because, at Port City, Lu Sisi received unprecedented attention from the Yang Family, plus Lu Sisi had a boyfriend who even old reputable families like the Liu Family from Port City’s elite valued. With such a setup, Lu Sisi became someone Mr. Yang Sr. focused on.

As a result, Lu Xiuting naturally benefited from her daughter’s status, enjoying a stature transformation.

Yang Jiaming likely received instructions from the family, treating Lu Xiuting with more warmth than before, speaking more compliantly, and never mentioning divorce anymore.

At least, in Port City, in front of the Yang Family members, Yang Jiaming purposely maintained a superficial cordiality with Lu Xiuting.

Then, a few days ago, after they returned from Port City to Jinling Prefecture, Lu Xiuting felt Yang Jiaming’s attitude wasn’t as enthusiastic and compliant as it was in Port City.

Perhaps because they had left Port City, Yang Jiaming no longer had the Yang family elders breathing down his neck, nor anyone to restrict him, he no longer needed to force himself to please this "wife" he actually resented.

But Lu Xiuting, on the other hand, seemed to be floating on air. The days in Port City, the treatment Lu Sisi received from the Yang family, their change in attitude towards herself, plus Yang Jiaming’s forced compliance towards her, all gave Lu Xiuting a sense of misjudgment.

After coming back to Jinling Prefecture, without the constant attention from the Yang Family, Yang Jiaming’s attitude towards Lu Xiuting cooled down a bit, this change gave Lu Xiuting a bit of anger and discontent in her heart.

This woman was never very smart.

And tonight, things went south.

This evening, it was originally Yang Jiaming and Lu Xiuting who took their son out for dinner.

Yang Jiaming’s attitude was relatively cold, with a bit of absentmindedness. This attitude suddenly angered Lu Xiuting—perhaps feeling that her current treatment was inferior compared to the time in Port City, Lu Xiuting couldn’t help but lose her temper.

Initially, Yang Jiaming wanted to endure it, as the family elders had advised him—before leaving Port City, Mr. Yang Sr. personally advised Yang Jiaming to prioritize family harmony.
