Chapter 1723: Even God is Helping (Part Nine)
Zhou Shuang gritted her teeth. “Of course they wouldn’t arrest you. They only catch criminals and not shameless people.”
She raised her chin and looked haughty.
This was how she was like. She never yielded or softened her tone and was always mean and hostile to him. Her heart seemed to have toughened as though she was determined to trample on him. She looked as though the only thing she wanted was for him to beg her for forgiveness.
Lu Yinan glared at her with anger boiling in the pit of his stomach. But his expression remained cold. He had an arrogant smile on his face. “You really should curb your temper. If not, your children wouldn’t be able to stand you, let alone other men.”
Zhou Shuang snapped, “Why should I think for others? I just need to think of myself.”
“I’m bringing Yanyan with me today.” Lu Yinan concluded their argument by turning around abruptly.
Zhou Shuang darted forward. “No way!”
She grabbed Lu Yinan’s elbow in a panic and almost tore Lu Huanyan away from his arm.
The girl bawled at the top of her lungs.
She stammered as she sobbed. “Daddy… Mommy. Don’t fight. Daddy… Mommy…”
Zhou Shuang and Lu Yinan froze when they realized what was happening. The expression on their faces froze as well.
“Go away!” Lu Yinan flung Zhou Shuang’s arm away with force.
He exerted too much strength and it caught Zhou Shuang off guard. She stumbled and slipped before falling to the ground.
They were standing on the road, and the snow was all cleared to allow the vehicles to travel safely. So, she fell on the cold hard ground.
“Ahhh…”
She let out a shriek of pain but quickly stopped herself. She clenched her teeth as she lay flat on the ground.
Her hands and knees had bumped against the hard ground, and pain prevented her from reacting.
“Mommy! Mommy…” Lu Huanyan saw Zhou Shuang fell to the ground, and she shouted amidst her cries. She flailed her arms towards Zhou Shuang.
Lu Yinan snapped to his senses and placed Yanyan on the ground. He darted to Zhou Shuang and bent to hold her arm. He tried to hoist her up as he asked, “Where is it hurting?”
Zhou Shuang refused to let him touch her. But how could she win him in terms of strength? He slowly lifted her up despite her unwillingness.
Lu Yinan supported Zhou Shuang as his eyes anxiously scrutinized her body.
Zhou Shuang shoved him away.
Lu Yinan stumbled a few steps backward and their eyes met.
Zhou Shuang’s eyes glistened with tears, and she had clenched her fists. She bit her lips as she glared at Lu Yinan. She then snapped, “Lu Yinan, let’s make a clean break. The three children stay with me. If you do not agree, I’ll see you in court.”
She was, after all, a woman. She could no longer hold back her tears as they gushed out.
She raised her hand and carelessly wiped them off.
She rarely cried, at least not in front of Lu Yinan. In these five years, he had hardly seen her cry.
But tears were a woman’s best weapon. Guilt and remorse engulfed Lu Yinan when he saw her weeping silently.
He hung his hands by his side as he clenched his fists.
He was at a loss for words.
“Bad daddy! Bad daddy!” Lu Huanyan ran to Lu Yinan and hit him on his thighs with her fists.
She ran to Zhou Shuang and pulled her hand. She sobbed and said, “I want Mommy. I don’t want Daddy anymore.”
