Chapter 1351 Maniac

Chapter 1351 Maniac

Followed by the crunching sound of bones, Lin Qiao's scream echoed in the silent hallway of the hospital. Mu Chenyan's expression didn't even fluctuate while Xia Zhao closed his eyes helplessly. No matter how much he disliked his mother, he really couldn't treat her like this. That's why he usually chose the tactic of avoidance and silence. But it was true that this only made Lin Qiao think that he still had her in his heart which was absolutely a lie.

"She still doesn't hold back," commented Dr. Cai as she crossed her arms and was enjoying the show in front of her. Well, there wasn't much entertainment in the hospital so this was considered rather fun to her. Hearing her voice, Xia Hao snapped back from his stunned state and wanted to rush to his mother's side but Dr. Cai held him back.

"Take advice from someone older than you, learn to restrain yourself."

"That's my mother!" he snapped. Dr. Cai shrugged, "Are you blind? It's your mother who started it too. If you are gonna purposely go in front of the sleeping tiger and annoy him, what are you expecting? Your mother should have known better before going up to mess with that she-devil over there. And if she doesn't know any better, then you should. If you took a step closer, you are gonna get the burnt of this too." With that, she let his wrist go. "The choice is up to you. I already warned you that Mu Chenyan is anything but patient and gentle."

Xia Hao wanted to do something but he stopped once he looked into Mu Chenyan's eyes. Those chilled eyes told him that Dr. Cai was right. If he really moved, he'd be the next victim. And just because he was young, he did not have the delusion that he'd be able to win in a fight. Even if he didn't know Mu Chenyan much, he knew that the woman always provoked his elder brother and grew up fighting with him. So, he really couldn't underestimate her skills.

"Yanzi!" called out Xia Zhao.

Mu Chenyan looked over at him and asked, "What?"

Xia Zhao's face hardened and his fists clenched in anger but Mu Chenyan covered his fist with her hand. She didn't want him to do something against his own principles just for her. Anyway, she could do whatever she wanted. It was age-old saying that no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could live in peace. Some mothers-in-law tortured their daughters-in-law and some daughters-in-law tortured their mothers-in-law. Anyway, one of them had to dominate, no? And in her case, the person who could assert dominance over her had yet to be born!

Mu Chenyan laughed at Lin Qiao's distorted expression and laughed even more slowly. "Trechery? Scheming? Shady things? Seduction? Are you talking about yourself, Miss Lin Qiao?" She gave her a mocking smile as she went on, "Do you think everyone is like you who needs to resort to scheming and seduction to get a man? I think you are better at those things than me. I was never taught such shady things. Especially, no one taught me how to steal my own best friend's fiance, and that too, right in that best friend's house. It was you who used all that to get Uncle Song. Do you think I need to do all that? Besides, you never got accepted by the whole Xia Clan but yet you are here married to Uncle Song. What makes you think just your acceptance is necessary in my life?"

Lin Qiao shook violently when Mu Chenyan reminded her of the dark past that she had always tried to avoid. She never let anyone mention any of that but today, she really hit the iron plate. No, she picked up the stone and smashed it on her own foot by going up against Mu Chenyan. How could she forget that this woman never had any filter on her mouth? "You!"

"What? You can do it and I can't even speak about it, eh? How is that possible? Can you even stop me? You should have thought before trying to mess with me. I don't mind giving you a lesson that life didn't manage to teach you even until now. I don't understand it. Where does this arrogance of yours come from? What do you even have? Just the title of Mrs. Xia Songbei? Do you find it honorable? Don't you see how people laugh at you behind your back and find you pitiful too? You ruined Uncle Song and he didn't throw you away that's already very kind of him. But you take this kindness for granted. Why is that? Do you really think you are all that? Maybe you are, but don't ever forget that I'm Mu Chenyan. I have always been a nightmare. And I love being one too."

Lin Qiao lowered her head and slowly her shoulders started shaking heavily. It seemed like she was crying but when she looked up, one could see that she was laughing. Laughing like a maniac right now.

Seeing her like this, Mu Chenyan turned to Xia Zhao, "I didn't break her, did I? Tsk. Tsk. Her mental fortitude is really weak if this much was enough to break her."

Xia Zhao didn't know what to say because he also didn't know what was going on and why his mother was suddenly laughing like a fool right now. He also wondered if Mu Chenyan's words made his mother go crazy but that shouldn't be. After all, his mother wasn't that weak. If she was, she wouldn't have been able to survive as the wife of Xia Songbei until now with how much of a bad image she had in their circle.

Even if most people didn't say it to her face, no one was a big fan of Lin Qiao in their circle either. They only gave her face because of Xia Songbei.
