The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 872: Chapter 871: Bone-Chilling Cold

Sun Mei looked at Shen Hanxue with a face full of terror. She really had done that thing, but how could Shen Hanxue know about it? At the time in the room, aside from Zhenhua, who should have been dead but wasn’t, there definitely wasn’t anyone else present.

Sun Mei was certain that no one else knew about this matter.

”You’re spouting nonsense, Han Xue, I’m your real mom! Why are you accusing me?” Sun Mei said with a face full of panic. Right now, she couldn’t admit to doing it, otherwise, even if Shen Hanxue was willing to forgive her, Ji Hong and Ye Qingtian certainly wouldn’t.

”You say I’m accusing you? The day you threw Su Changfeng on the balcony, my dad was already awake. He watched the entire process with open eyes. My dad continued to pretend he was unconscious to avoid you dealing him a fatal blow. That transformed the matter into a secret only you know, which is why he endured your daily beatings. It’s all because I delayed today, otherwise, my dad wouldn’t have had to endure your beatings.” Shen Hanxue said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Mei’s legs went weak, and she sat down directly. Shen Zhenhua had already been awake!

If he had seen everything, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tried, and all the responsibility would fall on her.

”Your dad is absolutely mistaken, he’s talking nonsense. Su Changfeng is my granddaughter, how could I treat her like that? It’s definitely not me, absolutely not me.” Sun Mei hastily tried to explain, her face full of panic.

Shen Hanxue smiled bitterly. Sun Mei still had the nerve to claim Su Changfeng as her granddaughter? If she really cared about that blood relationship, why would she do such a vicious thing to Su Changfeng?

”From this moment on, our mother-daughter relationship is severed. You are no longer my mom.” Shen Hanxue declared resolutely.

Such a malicious person as Sun Mei had no right to be her mother. Shen Hanxue would no longer care about such familial ties.

Ji Hong stood up with a grim face, grabbed Sun Mei’s hair, and slapped her face repeatedly.

Sun Mei let out painful screams, and her face quickly became swollen, looking very cruel.

But Ji Hong didn’t stop there. Each slap was harder than the previous one, as if venting the rage burning inside her.

Sun Mei pleaded in agony, but her cries, no matter how pitiful, couldn’t evoke sympathy from anyone else around, even Chen Qingqing believed she deserved it.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won’t eat its cubs, but Sun Mei committed an infuriating act, unworthy of forgiveness or sympathy from others.

”To do such a vicious thing to my precious granddaughter! Even killing you would be too lenient!” After her palms were red from striking, Ji Hong mercilessly dragged Sun Mei up to the second floor of the villa.

Crying, Sun Mei struggled, but Ji Hong, exploding with energy, didn’t give Sun Mei any chance to escape.

On the second floor, Ji Hong said grimly, ”The pain my granddaughter suffered must be paid back double by you today.”

After saying this, Ji Hong forcefully tore off Sun Mei’s clothes and shoved her onto the balcony.

The frigid wind howled in the bitter cold of this weather. Even wearing layers of clothes one would feel freezing standing outside, let alone without any clothes.

”If you really can’t take it, then just jump from here.” Ji Hong said coldly before locking the balcony door.

Sun Mei rushed to the door, banging on it desperately, her body trembling violently from the cold, until she had no choice but to kneel there, begging Ji Hong for mercy.

Inside the glass door, Ji Hong stood watching with cold eyes.

Is there pity, sympathy?

Many in this world might arouse these emotions in Ji Hong, but Sun Mei was definitely not among them.

Sun Mei deserved no pity and had no right to expect sympathy.

Before long, Sun Mei’s lips began to turn purple from the cold, her strength to pound on the door diminishing, but did she have the courage to jump from the balcony?

Clearly, a person like Sun Mei didn’t possess such courage.

She hid in the corner of the balcony, as much as possible shielding herself from the wind, resigning herself to endure the cold, hoping to somehow survive.

First floor of the villa.

A porcelain bowl shattering in his hand, Huo Tian restrained the murderous intent rising inside him.

He regarded Su Changfeng as his own grandson and definitely considered Su Changfeng as his great-grandchild. If the kidnapper dared to appear before him, he would torture them to death without hesitation.

Yet since this matter was connected to Sun Mei, he couldn’t make that decision.

”How should we deal with Sun Mei now?” Huo Tian asked Ye Qingtian.

Ye Qingtian took multiple deep breaths, calming his emotions, then said, ”Sun Mei cannot die yet. Su Changfeng is Changfeng’s child; Sun Mei’s fate should be decided by Su Changfeng upon returning. But until Chang Feng returns, let that malicious woman pay the price for her actions.”

Huo Tian nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly with Ye Qingtian’s words.

Since Su Changfeng hadn’t returned to Jiang City yet, they couldn’t presume to decide Sun Mei’s punishment.

Ye Qingtian approached Shen Hanxue, gently patting her shoulder, and advised, ”Han Xue, that woman, Sun Mei, has no relation to our Ye Family anymore. When Chang Feng passes his judgment, don’t be soft-hearted.”

Shen Hanxue, filled with bitterness, said, ”You can rest assured, Grandpa, that woman is no longer qualified to be my mother, and I’m no longer her child. When Chang Feng returns, even if it means death for her, I won’t object.”

Ye Qingtian nodded, then said, ”I need to return to Beijing. Handle matters here after I leave.”

”Why do you suddenly need to return to Beijing, Grandpa?” Shen Hanxue asked, puzzled.

”Some minor issues that require my presence. Don’t worry.” Ye Qingtian replied.

Upon hearing this, Shen Hanxue didn’t inquire further.

On the balcony on the second floor of the villa, Sun Mei was now completely stiff from the cold, fully experiencing how Su Changfeng felt back then.
