Chapter 290 - 291: Mad and Heartless
As soon as Liu Haiguo heard the dissatisfaction in Wang Xueyong’s words, he hurriedly said, "You know my sister has feelings for you, what do you think in your heart? Do you have feelings for my sister? Gao Jiaxing is already married, my son was born, and you’re not getting any younger. It’s time you got married too."
"Mr. Haiguo, your sister and I are not possible," Wang Xueyong said bluntly, sneering inside, thinking that a woman, divorced and unattractive, dreaming of marrying him, was deluded.
Liu Haiguo’s face showed embarrassment since Wang Xueyong wasn’t interested in his sister, then what was he doing flirting with her.
"But you and my sister?"
Liu Haiguo hadn’t finished speaking when Wang Xueyong cut him off, "It’s not like that between me and your sister."
Liu Haiguo didn’t intend to ask any further, but Mrs. Liu appeared at the door, motioning with her eyes toward Liu Haiguo, who then said, "Do you mind that my sister has been married before and has a child?"
Seeing Liu Haiguo trying to pair him with Liu Haihua, Wang Xueyong nodded, "My family wouldn’t agree."
Upon hearing this, Feng Ying, who had just been driven out by Liu Haihua, walked back to the kitchen to convey Wang Xueyong’s attitude to Liu Haihua.
But Liu Haihua didn’t believe it, set down the meat in her hands, and rushed out of the kitchen to confront Wang Xueyong directly, "Mr. Xueyong, does your family really mind that I was married and have a child?"
Wang Xueyong helplessly nodded; in fact, he was utterly repulsed by Liu Haihua, thinking how ugly people often act odd. Despite being single himself, it wasn’t for a lack of suitors, but because he was particular.
Wang Xueyong had intended to have a heart-to-heart with Liu Haiguo, but this disruption by the Lius ruined his mood, so he stood up saying he had something to attend to and left.
When Wang Xueyong left, all Liu Haiguo could do was see him out, while Liu Haihua looked heartbroken, and Feng Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he left, otherwise today’s meal would have been ruined.
Mrs. Liu came out of the house and tried to console her, "You can’t force this issue, his family doesn’t agree, and it wouldn’t be good for you either."
"It’s all Dad’s fault." Liu Haihua cried loudly, replacing her previous respect for her father, Liu Jiefang, with resentment.
Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "You can’t blame your father, he didn’t know Ge Lai would turn out like this. Otherwise, he never would’ve let you marry him, considering how much he loves you."
"I didn’t want to marry initially, but my brother forced me," Liu Haihua continued crying.
Just then, Liu Haiguo came back from seeing Wang Xueyong out and heard Liu Haihua’s accusations, replying unhappily, "I was just following Dad’s last wishes. If you have to blame anyone, blame fate."
With a cry, Liu Haihua ran out, and Mrs. Liu sighed, not knowing whom to blame.
"Liu Haihua, your son Ge Liang is fighting again, you need to go check on him right now."
As soon as Liu Haihua ran out, someone told her about her son getting into a fight.
Instantly, a fire ignited in Liu Haihua’s heart, and she dashed forward; in the crowd, several children were beating Ge Liang.
Four-year-old Ge Liang, his body bruised and yellow, was utterly powerless, and when people saw Liu Haihua charging furiously toward them, they thought she was coming to her son’s aid.
But instead, Liu Haihua plunged into the crowd, picked up Ge Liang, and started punching and kicking him mercilessly, shocking the children who were hitting him.
Puff, Ge Liang spit blood.
"Ah, murder!" Some children, witnessing Liu Haihua’s vicious attack, were scared.
Although they were also fighting, the strength of children was nothing compared to that of Liu Haihua and she seemed bent on killing Ge Liang.
"Stop, Liu Haihua." Suddenly, a loud voice came, and Hong Xing rushed over and rescued Ge Liang from Liu Haihua’s grasp.
By this time, many people had been drawn by the commotion, and upon seeing the unconscious Ge Liang in Hong Xing’s arms, they all started accusing Liu Haihua of being too cruel, intending to kill her own son.
He was only four years old; how could she bring herself to do it?
Liu Haihua was at a loss for words; for a moment, she had indeed wanted to kill Ge Liang, but now, thinking she almost killed her own son by her hands, she was also a bit scared.
"Liu Haihua, he’s your own son, just four years old. How could you hurt him like this? Did a dog eat your conscience?" Hong Xing was furiously incredulous, having never expected Liu Haihua could think of killing her own son; her heart was too cruel.
"It’s my right to discipline my son, it’s none of your business," Liu Haihua retorted.
But the people from the Red Star Production Team were already displeased with the Lius, and hearing Liu Haihua speak like this, they also started to accuse her.
Soon, someone went to inform Liu Haiguo, and Mrs. Liu and Liu Haiguo rushed over, seeing the unconscious Ge Liang, beaten all over with blood at the corner of his mouth, which also startled them.
With a slap, Mrs. Liu struck Liu Haihua across the face, gasping angrily, "You’re insane, what kind of mother are you to hit like this? He’s your own son, only four years old."
Seeing the wounds on Ge Liang’s body, Mrs. Liu was also heartbroken, and Liu Haiguo knew Liu Haihua’s outburst was sparked by Wang Xueyong’s words, which had affected her treatment of Ge Liang.
At this point, seeing Liu Haihua provoke public anger, Liu Haiguo wanted to minimize the incident.
But Hong Xing was reluctant to leave Ge Liang in the Liu family’s care, noting,
"Hong Xing, you should quickly take him to get checked," someone suggested.
Immediately, Hong Xing grabbed Ge Liang and left, with Liu Haihua trying to stop him, "Where are you taking my son?"
Liu Haiguo stopped Liu Haihua; at this point, causing more trouble would not be beneficial.
Liu Haiguo was extremely angry about the incident Liu Haihua had caused. Red Star Production Team was already full of complaints, and Liu Haiguo wasn’t ignorant of this but had been trying hard to calm things down; now, Liu Haihua had stoked everyone’s anger once again.
