Chapter 784: Stop Pretending (3)_1
Feng Caie kept her head down to reduce her presence and conceal the disdain on her face; she also had her own plans. Since it was Yang Anshi who dealt with the matter, even if Yang Ruxin got angry, she couldn’t blame the second branch of the family. If things worked out, it was the second branch that would benefit anyway.
"Father, Mother, why don’t you go talk to them yourselves?" Yang Baixiang looked up, "To be honest, I just can’t bring myself to do it..."
"Why can’t you?" Yang Anshi’s voice suddenly became sharp.
"I just don’t have the face to do it." Yang Baixiang stood up, "If Second Brother wants to find work, he can go by himself, or you can go. I really can’t help..." He turned around and left after saying this.
"You useless, good-for-nothing son of a bitch..." Yang Anshi was furious, "You stand right there!"
Yang Baixiang did stop but kept his head down, saying nothing.
"How can you be so hopeless?" Yang Anshi jumped up, her finger jabbing at Yang Baixiang’s forehead, "You’re such a waste; we should have just thrown you into the outhouse and drowned you when you were born..."
Yang Baixiang still said nothing. Every time he was scorned by his mother in the past, he would feel terrible and then try desperately to do well. But later, he realized that no matter what he did, he seemed to end up being despised. So, he understood it wasn’t that he wasn’t doing well, but that his very existence was a mistake.
Listening to these words now, he felt nothing. He must have been numb to it.
Perhaps it was Yang Baixiang’s silence that made Yang Anshi even more furious. She grabbed a rough porcelain bowl from the table and hurled it at Yang Baixiang.
Yang Baixiang hadn’t expected his mother to get physical while talking, so he was completely unprepared. In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow rushed toward him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his head, followed by the feel of something warm trickling down. When he touched it, his hand came away stained with bright red blood. Then everything went dark, and he knew no more.
