Chapter Fifty-Four: Unbearable Pain

  "Ouch..."

  Tong Mai angrily opened the door quickly, and Chen Yuhua outside lost her balance, her body straightened forward, fortunately Yin Yuqi caught her in time, otherwise she would have fallen down long ago.

  This stumble made Chen Yuhua, who was already very angry, furious. "Are you looking for death?" she exclaimed, her palm rising involuntarily, but was stopped by Yin Yuqi. "Mom, you promised me that you would be nicer to Xiaomai from now on. Tonight is clearly your fault." Is it reasonable to knock on someone's door in the middle of the night?

  However, Tong Mei had gotten used to her unreasonable behavior, so she might as well let her have her way today, as long as no one found out that Huo Yize was here...

  "What were you just doing? Why didn't you open the door for half a day? Are you hiding some wild man inside?" Chen Yuhua said, while taking big strides, searching every place in her room like the Japanese devils' big sweep.

  Tong Mai stood beside the wardrobe, her heart "thumping" wildly and jumping chaotically, afraid that she would recklessly open the wardrobe, and with a bit of tension, she pulled on her hand.

  NND, too arrogant! She doesn't look like a rich lady at all, she's just a shrew. But for now, Tong Mai dares to be angry but not speak out, has to hold back.

  "Mom, can't you speak more nicely? Go back to sleep! It's already the middle of the night..." Yú Rù Qí also had no choice but to give in.

  "Shut up! This dead girl, just now... must have a problem." Chen Yuhua's keen perception made her stop in her tracks, her pair of fierce eyes staring straight at Tong Mai.

  It cannot be denied that at this moment, her eyes are a thousand times, ten thousand times more terrifying than Huo Yizhe's...

  Tong Mai finally found out why her father was so afraid of her? This kind of woman... is no different from a mother tiger!

  "You're so sure, then tell me, have you found the wild man after searching?" The tone of her counter-question was trying to calm down her fear, her eyes staring at Chen Yuhua were filled with hatred and also an unusual calmness.

  Hate...

  She will probably never be able to eradicate her deep-seated hatred for them in this lifetime.

  Hu Yi Ze gritted his teeth in the closet, resenting the term "wild man" to the extreme, with a sinister glint on his face, but he still didn't impulsively open the closet door. He knew that Yin Yu Qi was right there, and for no other reason, at least he had to consider her feelings, so he struggled to find an excuse for himself.

  Chen Yuhua's eyes sank, originally intending to search her closet, but today's outfit...

  Looking at Tong Mai's clothes, this outfit really makes her look a bit more attractive. Previously, I never thought that this dead girl would make people's eyes light up, but now, the white short skirt reveals a slender and proportionate leg, her pale skin reflecting a soft glow under the crystal lamp, her face is clean and unadorned, if she could just put on a bit of light makeup, her beauty would absolutely not lose to Yin Yuqi, and might even surpass hers.

  So, Chen Yuhua looked particularly piercing, with a ferocious expression staring at her, "Dressed up like a demon, and coming back so late, where did you say you went? It can't be..."

  Tong Mai was very clear what she would say next, and before Chen Yuhua finished speaking, she interrupted a step ahead, "Where I go or what I do doesn't need to be reported to you. It's getting late, I want to rest, all of you get out." She suppressed the layers of anger surging up, trying to make them leave quickly.

  "Look... Yuqi, look! You see?! She's always talking to me like that!" Chen Yuhua was furious and sought justice from Yin Yuqi. After circling the room once, the veins on her forehead were bulging as she couldn't hold back anymore. Taking advantage of Tong Mai's unguarded moment, she turned around and slapped her hard.

  Loud applause, on a quiet night, sounds especially startling.

  "You little scoundrel, who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Don't I have the right to ask about your affairs? But I do have the right to kick you out of here! Get out... get out of here immediately! I don't want to see your ugly face again!"

  The force of this slap was very heavy, so heavy that Tong Mai only heard a loud "rumbling" sound in her ears, and she didn't hear what Chen Yuhua said at all. As a result, when Chen Yuhua continued to give her several slaps, she had no defensive consciousness, until her cheek hurt so much that she finally pushed Chen Yuhua away fiercely.

  Yin Yuqi stepped forward to stop her, but couldn't block her mother's momentum at all, and could only anxiously watch them...

  Huo Yize's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and the crisp "slapping" sound coming from his ears made him feel like a sharp needle was poking at his heart for several seconds. However, he still managed to control his footsteps with great self-control, and if he appeared now, the scene would likely become even more chaotic.

  Moreover, he shouldn't feel sorry for Tong Mai. Her stubborn, strong-willed and bold personality destined her to suffer a bit. There's no need to feel sorry, this is what she deserves.

  For the faint pain rising from the bottom of his heart, Huo Yize deliberately ignored it...

  "Get out... Get out of the Yin's house! You're not welcome here! How can you be so shameless and cling to this place? You're just like your mother, completely without a sense of shame!" After her anger had subsided, Chen Yuhua brought up her mother again.

  "You're the one who's shameless! You're the one who ruined my mom and dad's happiness, you took away the joy that belonged to me! Originally I could have had a complete family, if it wasn't for you seducing my dad, he wouldn't have left my mom! Do you think you've won just because you got him? Does he really love you? Have you truly understood him? Or is he just marrying you for your family's wealth and status?"

  "Shut up, Tong Mai!"

  At some point, Mr. Yin was already standing at the door, for the first time, his angry roar completely stunned the entire chaotic situation, and the lingering sound lingered in the room for a long time...

  Yin's father, like an eagle, stared at Tong Mai with piercing eyes. It seemed that letting her return to the country was a big mistake. Her appearance made the Yin family restless and turbulent at all times, with no peace...

  For a moment, the room fell silent and no one spoke. Tong Mai's cheek was a burning pain, in fact, every word she said made her cheek hurt even more, but she didn't care.

  It's just physical pain, what does it count compared to the heartache she has? But after a moment of silence, Mr. Yin's next words were like pouring salt on her wound:

  "Go! Leave here. From now on, wherever you want to go, just go! Don't come back!" His voice lowered, not as sharp as before, but the sincerity in his words was not hard to discern.

  Her heart ached intensely, yet she smiled, and this smile was oppressive...

  Huo Yize faintly heard her laughter, his chest was also stifling and dizzy, as if his anger towards her had suddenly dissipated by several degrees, replaced by a hint of tenderness.

  Yin Yuqi didn't speak at this time, as if whoever spoke first would make the situation more complicated and chaotic.

  "You think I'm staying here because I like it? Even if this place is luxurious and wealthy, I don't care at all. But you can forget about it! You can hit me or scold me, anything is fine, but I absolutely won't leave for now. Because I don't want you to think that leaving mom is justified; I don't want you to abandon mom and still feel like everything is okay; even more, I don't want mom to become a handful of yellow soil after she dies, while you all live a peaceful life."

  Her existence... can't let them live a carefree and happy life.

  At this point, Tong Mai's eyes were already filled with tears, but she slightly raised her head, not wanting to cry in front of them. No matter how sad she was, she didn't want to appear so weak in their presence.

  "You..." Chen Yuhua wanted to speak up again, this time Yin Yuqi couldn't remain silent anymore.

  "Let's not talk about it anymore, everyone is in a bad mood today, go to sleep first! Whatever it is, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Dad, mom, both of you go back to your room." In such a tense situation, indeed someone calm was needed to bring everyone back to their senses.

  Yin's father did not make any excuses this time. He admitted that he was wrong when he left her mother, so now he had nothing to say in his defense.

  Chen Yuhua also spared her daughter's face and left her room...

  After a shocking and earth-shattering commotion, only Tong Mai was left alone. The heavy door slammed shut with a "bang", and she leaned against the door frame, tears streaming down her face...
