When your life is full of happiness, there will always be some people who can't stand it, and they will bite you like mad dogs.
Xiao Wanying is that mad dog.
She escaped from the mental hospital and even called me.
"Zhou Sui, come out and I'll tell you a secret."
"A secret about your mother."
I originally didn't want to bother with her, but since it concerns my mom, I had to go.
The place she asked to meet me was an unfinished building in the suburbs.
The days in the mental hospital should not have been pleasant, Xiao Wanying looked much thinner than before, her chin was so sharp it could kill.
Her face was sallow, her lips dry and cracked, her hair messy, and she was still wearing a hospital gown.
Seeing her in such a bad state made me particularly happy.
She glared at me venomously, "Give me 200 million, and I'll tell you."
200 million? She thinks money grows on trees, and she really dares to ask!
"I don't have 200 million, if you want to say it, say it, if not, I'll go home and sleep."
I turned to leave.
"Your mother falling from the balcony wasn't an accident, it was deliberate."
I suddenly stopped.
Not an accident?
A year ago, I received news at school that my mom accidentally fell from the second-floor balcony while drying clothes. By the time I rushed home, my mom had already been taken to the ICU.
After the doctor's rescue, my mom's life was saved, but she became a vegetable.
She lay in the hospital for a whole year, and her body organs slowly began to fail.
When her life was about to end, she miraculously woke up for a few minutes, just long enough to tell me my origins.
I hadn't even said a proper goodbye to her.
But now I'm being told it wasn't an accident, it was deliberate.
My heart felt like it was pierced with a handful of steel beads, an icy, hard pain rolling over the tip of my heart.
Clenching my trembling fingers into a fist, I turned around, "What did you say? Say it again!"
Seeing my reaction, Xiao Wanying laughed triumphantly, "Give me the money, and I'll tell you."
I took a deep breath, "I don't have 200 million, the most I can give you is 50 million."
Xiao Wanying frowned with dissatisfaction at first, but then she agreed.
"Transfer the money first, and then I'll tell you."
In front of Xiao Wanying, I called my dad's assistant and told him to transfer the money to the account Xiao Wanying provided.
With the money in hand, Xiao Wanying's smile was indulgent and wild.
"Zhou Sui, in our last life you couldn't beat me, and in this life, you'll still be my loser."
"I'm about to leave the country and live the life of a wealthy person."
I really think Xiao Wanying’s mind doesn’t work the same way as normal people’s.
I didn't want to waste time with her.
"You've got the money, now can you speak."
She seemed to think of something delightful first, then gradually burst into a convulsive laugh, her expression twisted, and the words she spat out were venomous to the extreme.
"Your mom was pushed down by my dad."
"My dad took a fancy to her, wanted to get her, but she disagreed and even hit my dad. Out of anger, he pushed her off the balcony."
"I saw my dad push her down with my own eyes, the blood flowed all over, it was beautiful."
"Oh, by the way, it was me who brought my dad to your house."
"I told my dad your mom was always bringing other men home and that he should try, so I brought him over."
My fists clenched tightly, my nails digging into my skin without me noticing, I stared intently at Xiao Wanying who continued speaking.
"Your mom deserved to die, I just wanted her to teach me piano, and she made excuses."
"I just wanted to have what you had too, is that wrong?"
I couldn't hold it anymore, I grabbed her hair and slapped her face fiercely.
It wasn't enough, I dragged her body and madly smashed it into the wall.
"Do you know why your parents didn't love you? Because scum like you don't deserve it."
"You'll always be a worm in the gutter, hiding in dark places while watching me live a better and better life."
Indeed, I had underestimated the wickedness of human nature.
When I was unguarded, Xiao Wanying threw me to the ground.
"Die!"
She pulled out a sharp knife and thrust it towards my heart.
At the critical moment, the door was kicked open from outside.
A loud shout followed: "Don't move, drop the knife."
Police officers in uniform streamed in with guns.
Xiao Wanying's movement stopped the moment the door was kicked, now she was stunned in fright.
After a while, she came back to her senses.
"You dared to call the police?"
I whispered in her ear.
"Being kidnapped and extorted, shouldn't I call the police?"
"So, Xiao Wanying, enjoy the rest of your life in prison."
Seeing the madness in her eyes, I continued.
"In the previous life, I owed you a favor in prison, so after you go in, I'll repay you well."
"Oh, my dad said he will let me run the Oran Group."
"What a pity, you won't be able to see me rise to the billionaire list."
"Die!" Xiao Wanying screamed
she stabbed the knife towards me without hesitation.
I gave her a big smile.
"Go to hell and atone to my mom."
There was a gunshot, a bullet entered Xiao Wanying's back.
Blood gushed from her mouth continuously.
She looked at me with disbelief, her lips moved as if to say something.
But she would never be able to speak again.
When everyone surrounded me, she had already fallen slowly beside me.
