Chapter 96: Stabbed with Scissors

Chapter 96: Stabbed with Scissors

"Grandma!" Gong Xinyi roared in anger, "Leng Xi Yue is not that kind of person, it's Zhou Tian who's deceiving you!"

"Shut up! You fool! Treating trash like treasure!" Madame Gong thundered.

How could Leng Xi Yue swallow such humiliation?

Clutching her chest in righteous indignation, she said, "Madame Gong, I, Leng Xi Yue, have always acted in good conscience, I’ve never…"

"Zing!" A pair of surgical scissors was viciously stabbed towards Leng Xi Yue's forehead.

"Get out, you wretch, you're not worthy of speaking to me!" Madame Gong cursed, "As long as I live, you shall not marry either Xinyi or Xiaotian!"

Leng Xi Yue screamed and immediately opened the door to the operating room.

Zhao Lin had been eavesdropping with her ear against the door; Leng Xi Yue opening it nearly made her fall.

About to lose her temper, she saw the scissors in Leng Xi Yue's forehead and instantly softened.

"Xi Yue, what happened to you?" Zhou Tian hurried over, "Who hurt you?"

"That unreasonable old lady!" Leng Xi Yue touched the scissors on her forehead, steeled her heart, pulled them out, and slapped them into Zhou Tian's hand.

"Grandma, you've gone too far! I regret bringing Xi Yue here!" After saying that, Gong Xinyi went after Leng Xi Yue.

Madame Gong shouted sternly, "Stop! Try taking one more step!"

Gong Xinyi's eyes darkened, he didn't look back, pointing towards Zhao Lin and Zhou Tian at the door, "Take the old lady home!"

"Gong Xinyi!" Madame Gong bellowed, "Dare to take one step out of this door and you're no longer my grandson!"

"Fine!" Gong Xinyi walked out of the operating room indifferently.

"Gong Xinyi! Are you rebelling? For a trifle like her, is it worth it? Huh?"

Madame Gong's angry roar echoed from behind.

Gong Xinyi didn't look back.

Suddenly, he felt his grandmother had become a stranger.

So alien, she no longer seemed like kin, but a merciless demon.

Had Grandma changed, or was this her true nature?

No, Grandma wasn't like this by nature; 20 years ago, she was always gentle, kind, and amiable.

Since that catastrophe, Grandma changed, becoming irritable and tyrannical, never again showing her former benevolence.

Thinking of that catastrophe, Gong Xinyi's heart ached.

20 years ago, first his grandfather passed away, and soon after, his parents, aunt and uncle, along with his twin siblings, perished on the same day.

The death of so many loved ones deeply traumatized young Gong Xinyi, and the image of his grandmother in immense sorrow was eternally etched in his mind.

The grandmother in his memories cried with a heart-wrenching, soul-tearing agony...

She was the most unfortunate woman in the world.

Her husband had died not long before, and then her talented twin sons, two virtuous daughters-in-law, and a pair of adorable, obedient twin grandchildren all passed away on the same day...

Anyone would struggle to accept such a blow.

It’s been incredibly tough for Grandma to stay strong up to now.

Alas!

Gong Xinyi sighed deeply.

Since witnessing the death of his relatives, he’s been mentally troubled, often hallucinating and seeing his deceased loved ones.

The doctors diagnosed him with delusional disorder, and he’s been in psychological therapy for years.

He always thought Grandma was strong.

But now, it seems she too has been deeply affected; otherwise, why would her temper become so uncontrollably volatile?

He could understand Grandma’s hardships, but could Leng Xi Yue?

For their first meeting to be treated so harshly by the elderly lady must have been unbearable.

It was time to tell Leng Xi Yue about the Gong family’s issues.

“Leng Xi Yue!”

Gong Xinyi, snapping back to reality, could no longer find Leng Xi Yue.

At the door of the operating room.

The doctors, seeing Madame Gong walk out healthy, incredulously rubbed their eyes.

"How, how is this possible?"

"She was clearly already..."

"Stop gawking, make way!" Madame Gong's voice boomed powerfully.

At the hospital's main entrance.

Chen Yu approached the injured Leng Xi Yue immediately upon seeing her.

"Miss Xi Yue, what happened to you? Who hurt you?"

"Chen Yu, please take me back to the Gong residence, now!"

"But Mr. Gong hasn’t come out yet..."

"Then I'll take a taxi!" Leng Xi Yue ran off, covering her forehead.

"Wait!" Concerned for Leng Xi Yue, Chen Yu quickly drove after her.

Once in the car, Leng Xi Yue, thinking about what had just happened, couldn't help but burst into tears.

She had once thought that the greatest hurt in her life was the double betrayal from Zhou Tian and Lin Xue.

Now she knows, it's not!!

Madame Gong's words were like knives, each one stabbing her heart! And to be stabbed with scissors, how much disdain must she have for her!
