1035 Murder!
Chu Xiao saw that the child’s hands were covered in oil. Seeing that the child was about to pounce on her, Xu Manyu did not stop him. She snorted and suddenly took a step to the side.
The toddler fell to the ground, face-first. His wails, particularly heartbreaking, drew everyone’s attention in the house.
Xu Manyu’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly picked up the child. When she saw that the child’s face was covered in blood, she screamed in fear and almost threw the child out. Fortunately, she reacted. She knew that this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation. She adjusted her state and hugged the child as she wailed.
“Lianping, come quickly, someone is trying to kill your son! Lianping, you must protect your child!”
“Kill your son?”
Chu Xiao seemed to have heard a joke and laughed.
“Is your son made of paper? I didn’t even touch a hair on him. Do I have supernatural powers? If I did, would I be bullied by someone like you? Stop it, Xu Manyu. You just wanted to dirty my clothes using your son. Don’t think I can’t see through your little schemes. How childish you’ve become.”
“It’s just clothes. Look what you’ve done to my son. If he’s disfigured, I’ll never let you off, Chu Xiao!” Xu Manyu cried hysterically.
“Besides, he’s just a child. He likes you and was trying to hug you, but you pushed him away… You’re so cruel,” she wailed, turning to the house. “Lianping, come out quick, someone is trying to kill your son!”
“Who dares hurt my son? I’ll kill them…” Ma Lianping, hearing someone was harming his son, was filled with murderous intent.
“You just wait to be thrown out by Lianping. Using my son’s face to bring you down is worth it. Look at yourself; you think you’re still relevant? Just wait and see how Lianping deals with you. I’ll just watch you beg for mercy.”
Xu Manyu whispered viciously, a wicked smile on her lips.
Chu Xiao shrugged indifferently, “That’s all you can do. I was submissive before because you controlled my assets. Now, I don’t need them. You and your Lianping better brace for the storm.”
Xu Manyu thought she was just pretending to be calm. Just then, Ma Lianping, looking fierce with a kitchen knife, came running out.
She quickly played the victim, pointing at Chu Xiao, who stood nonchalantly, tears streaming down her face, “Lianping, it’s her. Look at our son’s face, it’s ruined. How will he live if it scars!”
Seeing his son’s bloodied face and inconsolable crying, Ma Lianping was overwhelmed with grief and raised his hand to hit Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao, unsurprised, dodged the blow and said calmly, “Ma Lianping, Chu Yi is back. You may have changed the company’s name, but a simple investigation by him will reveal your theft of his assets. How do you think he’ll deal with you?”
“Oh, and I forgot to tell you. He’s back with the Mu family, with Mu Min. Everything you own will vanish into thin air.”
Ma Lianping’s breath hitched, and the knife dropped from his hand with a clatter, startling Xu Manyu. She wanted to add fuel to the fire, but seeing his dazed appearance, she knew something was afoot and fell silent.
