Chapter 685: Extra Chapter 098 Rescuing Wanwan (First update of the big finale)
Xin Zaozao looked at Mu Cidian.
She looked at his ruthlessly cold image.
She clenched her lips tightly, as tears continued to pour unabated.
She hadn’t been this weak, this shattered, in a very long time. She thought that after being hurt by Wan Quan and Mu Cidian, she would never feel so helpless again in this lifetime. She believed that she had already experienced the greatest pain of her life, that nothing could hurt her more. But right now, she felt more desperate than ever before.
She was filled with hatred.
Hated everything she had to go through.
Hated Mu Cidian bringing her never-ending and escalating pain.
She watched Mu Cidian walk towards Lei Qian, walking right up to her.
Lei Qian’s face turned pale with fear.
She clutched Wanwan, her body trembling.
It seemed that at this moment, Mu Cidian’s attention was not on Wanwan, but he held the cell phone in front of Lei Qian and said into it, “Yin Qin, cut off Lei Qiang’s hand for me.”
“Okay,” responded Yin Qin without any hesitation.
He had men bind Lei Qiang’s body and forced his hand out. A flashing knife appeared in front of Lei Qiang.
Lei Qiang was terrified, his face changing color. Lei Qiang’s wife at his side was also screaming in fear.
“No, don’t... I beg you, don’t cut off my hand, just... What did I do wrong? Ah... No, no...” Lei Qiang shouted, his fear clearly evident on his face.
“Mu Cidian, let go of my dad, let him go!” Lei Qian’s eyes were red with anger as she glared at Mu Cidian.
“Didn’t I tell you, I’m not a good person.” Mu Cidian’s voice was cold-blooded, his face filled with ruthlessness.
Lei Qian stared at him, then back at the scene on the phone. She was terrified and said, “Enough, Mu Cidian, enough! Don’t do this to my father, don’t...”
“Ah...” In the video, a scream echoed.
The whole screen was suddenly blood-red.
Blood filled the entire screen.
“No! No!” Lei Qian watched in horror as the ax came straight down onto her father’s hand.
The screen was somewhat blurry.
Perhaps the person holding the phone had a bit of a trembling hand.
But the blood splattering all over the screen was clear and distinct.
“Mu Cidian!”
“Now I want you to see clearly how brutal I can be!” Mu Cidian said, and then spoke into the phone again, “Cut off the other hand, too!”
“No, don’t...” Lei Qian cried out in despair.
In the video, Lei Qian’s mother had already fallen to her knees, constantly kowtowing to Yin Qin’s people, “I beg you, please don’t hurt him any more. I beg you! I’m kowtowing to you all!”
Seeing her mother like this, Lei Qian was plunged into the depths of misery again.
With blazingly red eyes, she looked at Mu Cidian.
“Don’t worry, once I’ve finished tormenting your dad, I’ll start on your mom,” Mu Cidian said coldly, “If death is going to come, let’s have it thoroughly!”
As soon as his words fell,
He said into the phone, “Cut!”
“I surrender!” Lei Qian suddenly shouted out loud.
Mu Cidian stared at her indifferently.
“I surrender, I can’t fight you!” Lei Qian’s spirit seemed to deflate all at once, as she handed Wanwan over to Mu Cidian, “Leave my parents alone, I’ll give you back your daughter! Blame me for everything! It doesn’t matter, I don’t want to live anyway. I can’t carry on like this!”
Mu Cidian looked at her.
Xin Zaozao was on the side, also watching nervously.
“I beg you, Mu Cidian, I beg you, leave my parents alone. You can do whatever you want to me, take revenge on me, even kill me if you wish, just stop being so brutal towards them...” Lei Qian’s voice was filled with heartrending anguish.
Mu Cidian put down his phone.
He reached out and took Wanwan off Lei Qian.
But he was not as calm as he seemed outwardly.
He didn’t seem as indifferent as he appeared.
None could know how devastating his emotions were underneath his restrained exterior!
Before he had a chance to properly feel his daughter’s presence, Xin Zaozao took Wanwan away from him.
She held her tightly in her arms.
The next second, she broke down into intense sobs.
It was as if she wanted to cry out everything she’d suffered and been tormented by in this life, uncontrollable.
Song Lifei on the side also felt heartbroken by Xin Zaozao’s crying.
He picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and draped it over Xin Zaozao’s body.
She knew that Xin Zaozao didn’t want to burden others any more.
Xin Zaozao, it seemed, was always like this. No matter how much she had been hurt, she always chose to bear the pains herself.
She said, “it’s all in the past.”
“Hmm,” Xin Zaozao acknowledged as she nodded.
Song Zhizhi watched Xin Zaozao leave.
She couldn’t help but sigh.
She wondered about how Xin Zaozao’s future would turn out with Mu Cidian.
Throughout this ordeal, Xin Zaozao had never once mentioned Mu Cidian.
Did she not worry about Mu Cidian’s safety?
...
Xin Zaozao arrived home carrying Wanwan.
The maternity nurse wanted to take Wanwan and said, “Madam, let me put Wanwan to sleep. She’s been awake for too long and should be sleeping by now.”
At this moment, Wanwan started fussing.
“No need, I’ll do it.”
“When she gets fussy, it may be tough for you to calm her down.”
“I can handle it.”
“Alright then,” the maternity nurse didn’t say anything more.
The maternity nanny went about tidying up other things.
Xin Zaozao held Wanwan, trying to soothe her to sleep.
Wanwan started off with soft whining, which escalated into full-blown crying; she flailed her arms and legs about, and no amount of consoling could calm her down.
The maternity nurse, unable to bear it any longer, said, “Madam, let me try. You haven’t spent much time putting Wanwan to sleep.”
“Is she hungry?” Xin Zaozao asked, not handing Wanwan over to the maternity nurse.
“No. We just came from the hospital. Normally, a baby feeds every fours hours. She’s just tired and needs to sleep.”
“But why isn’t she sleeping?” Xin Zaozao asked the maternity nurse.
“Infants typically fuss before they sleep. Usually, when they need to sleep, they seek out the person they’re most attached to for a sense of security. Once they feel safe, they can fall asleep. Mr. Mu used to put her to sleep, and Wanwan got used to his arms. If only he was here...” the maternity nurse murmured.
At that moment, Xin Zaozao, holding Wanwan, froze.
She didn’t let herself think about Mu Cidian. She had put all her focus on Wanwan.
She didn’t want to remember him anymore.
“Do you know where Mr. Mu is?” The maternity nurse found it strange. “Madam, you’re home already. Why hasn’t Mr. Mu returned yet?”
Xin Zaozao didn’t answer.
She simply held Wanwan, continuously trying to soothe her.
The maternity nurse looked at Xin Zaozao, waiting for a response. However, she only saw a steady stream of tears flowing down her face.
She didn’t utter a sound, only letting her tears fall.
The maternity nurse didn’t dare to ask anymore.
She had a feeling that something must have happened between Xin Zaozao and her husband.
After trying to put Wanwan to sleep for a long while.
Wanwan was still crying, her cries becoming huskier.
The maternity nurse said, “Madam, let me try.”
Xin Zaozao handed Wanwan over to her.
In the maternity nurse’s arms, Wanwan continued to cry endlessly.
She kept crying.
The maternity nurse was also feeling frustrated.
She suggested, “How about you feed her to sleep, Madam? We really can’t carry on like this.”
Xin Zaozao nodded.
At this point, she was willing to do whatever it took to comfort Wanwan.
So, she sat down on the sofa with Wanwan, lifted her clothes, and began to nurse her.
Initially, Wanwan resisted a little. But as she nursed, she seemed to find solace. She gradually calmed down.
The maternity nurse also heaved a sigh of relief.
She advised, “Once Wanwan falls asleep, you should remove her. She can’t be kept nursing all the time; it will become a problem in the future.”
“Do we have a pacifier at home?” Xin Zaozao asked.
“Wanwan doesn’t like pacifiers; we’ve tried it before,” she replied.
Xin Zaozao pursed her lips.
“In any case, for Wanwan, nothing seems to work besides Mr. Mu,” she said.
