“Yes, I’ve gone mad!” Ling Fangzhou closed his eyes, his voice filled with deep regret and self-loathing. “Xie Wennan, only in madness would I have believed your lies and married you! Today, I finally see your true colors. You are not the gentle and benevolent, good wife and mother as you pretend to be. No, you are a beautiful, ruthless and venomous snake! Beautiful. Ruthless. Snake!”

Xie Wennan’s eyes bulged to their utmost size as she took several steps back in disbelief, her face turning pale. “Se… senior brother… what… what are you saying? I don’t understand… Don’t scare me, what on earth is the matter with you?”

“What is the matter with me?” Ling Fangzhou glared at her venomously. “I’ve gone mad! Only in madness would I have believed your lies, believed that you would treat Xiao Yue kindly! While I am working outside, understanding the hardships of caring for a child at home, I gave you all my money, only asking that you treat my son well. But what did you do with him?”

Ling Fangzhou strode forward, gripping Xie Wennan’s collar and forcefully pushing her up against the wall, his eyes glowing with rage. “You abused Xiao Yue! You didn’t let my son eat to his satisfaction, you let my son starve! With all the tens of thousands I send you every month for living expenses, you left my son severely malnourished. Xie Wennan, how can you be so cruel? Are you even human? Are you worthy of being a mother?”

“I was never his mother in the first place!” Xie Wennan suddenly lost control and started screaming.

Tears tumbled uncontrollably down her face as she forcefully pushed Ling Fangzhou away, sobbing uncontrollably. “I was never his mother! I only gave birth to Chenglin and Chenglu!”

Ling Fangzhou looked at her in shock, his gaze strange, as if he didn’t recognize her.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Xie Wennan rushed forward, grabbing Ling Fangzhou’s shoulders as she looked at him with tear-filled eyes. “Senior brother, don’t quarrel with me! I misspoke in my panic. What I meant was, it’s always hard for a stepmother. No matter how kind I am to Xiao Yue, the moment anything goes wrong with him, everyone assumes it’s my doing as his stepmother. But I swear, I have never laid a finger on Xiao Yue! Xiao Yue’s poor health is because he’s a picky eater. No matter what the nanny makes, he refuses to eat it. Because of this, I have changed several nannies!”

She looked at Ling Fangzhou with a terrified, frantic expression, sobbing uncontrollably. “Senior brother, we have been together for so many years, don’t you know me? Xiao Yue is your flesh and blood. I love you so much. Even if I didn’t like Xiao Yue, for you, I would have taken care of him properly. And how could I not like Xiao Yue when he’s so clever and handsome? But raising a child isn’t as simple as you think. When Xiao Yue only wants to eat snacks and not dinner, I can’t spoil him. When he wants to sleep in and not go to school, I can’t agree to it. If he wants to play outside instead of doing his homework, I still have to discipline him. The more I discipline him, the less affectionate he becomes with me!”

The more she spoket the more heartbroken she became. She lowered her head and covered her mouth. “Senior brother, how could you know my pain? Is it real love to just let him eat any snacks he wants, play when he wants, not do homework when he doesn’t feel like it? You are so smart, surely you know that spoiling a child to death is still killing. He’s your flesh and blood, how could I bear not to discipline him and just watch him grow up to be useless?”

Xie Wennan sobbed with her head lowered, covering her mouth, revealing her fair and elegant neckline. She cried helplessly, tragic and heartrending.
