Chapter 297: Crazy
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi was surprised to hear Lin Ru say those words. She had thought Lin Ru would beg Tao Yan to tell her who her real parents were, but she just said since Tao Yan would make her and her parents be separated from each other forever, she would make Tao Yan and her family reunite in hell…
There weren’t any other words that could irritate Tao Yan more…
Sure enough, Tao Yan flared red and glared at Lin Ru, spluttering, “What are you going to do?”
Lin Ru enjoyed her exasperated look, and gave a sarcastic smile. She leaned against the chair, and looked sympathetically at Tao Yan as she said gently, “What do you want me to say? I was almost killed by you, your daughter cheated me of tens of millions Yuan, and your granddaughter almost killed my daughter. You should get the punishment you deserve.” With that, she paused, smiled and raised her eyebrows. “By the way, Mom, you’re in poor health. You’ll have to stay in jail for decades. I suppose you might have to die in jail. As for Lin Jiao, she doesn’t have enough money to pay me back, so just let her stay in jail for the rest of her life… And your granddaughter, Yes, I’ll ruin her with my own hands like you ruined my daughter and me! You would wish you had died!”
“Damn you, Lin Ru!” Tao Yan struggled to stand up and reached out her hands through the bars to grab Lin Ru, but she couldn’t touch Lin Ru because she was handcuffed. She could only scream at Lin Ru and order her to release her. Lin Ru watched her struggling, frowned, stood up and said to her, “I forgot to tell you Lin Ruozhi committed suicide last night.”
Tao Yan who was struggling suddenly froze and turned her eyes to Tang Xi. Lin Ru also paused and looked at Tang Xi. Although she hated the Lin Family people, Lin Ruozhi was the only one who wasn’t that mean to her… If he died, she might never be able to find her real family…
If he was still alive, there was a hope that he would tell her who and where her real parents were…
Noticing her gaze, Tang Xi didn’t look at Lin Ru but kept looking at Tao Yan and coldly said, “What? Surprised? Hadn’t you known that Lin Ruozhi would die because of this when you made the decision in the very beginning? Hadn’t you been prepared to die?”
Tao Yan stared at Lin Ru and asked darkly, “Is what she said true? Your dad has died?”
Lin Ru took a breath, looked at Tao Yan and smiled. “He is not my dad. I don’t know who my dad is.”
Tao Yan nodded, then snorted and sat back to the stool. Her eyes had a gleam of blankness but soon she looked up at Lin Ru. “Everyone has his fate. When he left with me at that time, I had told him he wouldn’t end up well if he left with me. He got me and had me accompany him for decades as he wanted. I don’t think I caused him any wrong.”
Lin Ru clenched her hands and Tang Xi looked at Tao Yan in disbelief. Tao Yan glanced at them, gave a disdainful smile and coldly said, “Don’t look at me like that. Aren’t you cruel too? Womankind is the cruelest creature in the world. I’ve given Lin Ruozhi so many other choices, but he chose me. I’m not to blame.”
Tang Xi took a breath and pursed her lips. It had been quite a while before she smiled and nodded. “Yes, women can be the creatures with the most tender heart in the world, or the cruelest one. You thoroughly exhibit this nature. I can give you a chance to choose, just like you gave Lin Ruozhi the chance to choose. If you tell me the truth, I’ll have you released, as well as Lin Jiao and Xiao Jinning, but if you are still obsessed with your revenge plan, don’t blame me for being cruel.”
“No matter what choices you give me, I won’t change my mind.” Tao Yan turned her stare from Tang Xi to Lin Ru and raised her eyebrows. “You can only blame the fact that you are so unlucky as to be born of that b*tch. She was driven out by her family because she chose to marry him. When her family finally accepted him, she died…” Tao Yan’s eyes turned crazy. She stared at Lin Ru and laughed out loud. “Her kid was gone too… her husband married another woman just several years later… How stupid this woman is! What’s the point for you to go back to that home?” She looked at Lin Ru and narrowed her eyes. “But I won’t allow any woman to stay with him! So I killed his new wife too… Don’t worry. I didn’t let her replace your mother.”
Tang Xi clenched her hands hard when she heard Tao Yan’s words. She stared resentfully at the crazy woman and shouted, “You’re crazy! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know Chinese law sets no time limit of appeal? Do you know you will send yourself to hell with what you’ve done?”
“So what!” Tao Yan yelled. “I’ve already lived long enough. Even if I die now, I have no regrets!”
Tang Xi snorted. “Okay, then I’ll send your daughter and granddaughter to accompany you in your after life.” With that, Tang Xi supported Lin Ru to stand up and said in a low voice, “Let’s go back. She won’t give the answer you want to know…”
But Lin Ru was seized by hatred. Her mother was murdered by Tao Yan? Her mother was murdered by Tao Yan!
“Tao Yan!” Lin Ru lunged to her feet, rushed up to reach out her hands through the bars and grab Tao Yan’s neck, roaring, “I’m gonna kill you! I’m gonna kill you!”
Tang Xi was startled, and hurriedly rushed over to stop Lin Ru. “Mom! Calm down! Don’t be tricked by Tao Yan! She is stimulating you purposely! Let go of her!”
Tao Yan laughed out loud. “I won’t be lonely having you accompany me in the afterlife!”
Lin Ru suddenly released Tao Yan and collapsed to chair. Tang Xi hugged her tightly and tears flowed out of Lin Ru’s eyes drop by drop. Tang Xi hurriedly asked the police to take Tao Yan away, and kept gently patting her back to comfort her. It had been quite a while before Tang Xi said gently, “Let’s go back. We’d better not see Lin Jiao and Xiao Jinning today.”
Lin Ru nodded feebly, and looked up at Tang Xi. “I… Is Lin Ruozhi really dead?”
Tang Xi shook her head with a smile. “No, he has been saved by the doctors. You can go to see him.”
