Chapter 76: Cheng Jixuan Finds Out
Cheng Nan looked at her mother as she took a step back in terror, her face horribly pale.
She was unable to believe it. Her mother has just admitted to killing both her father and grandfather.
"What did you just say, Mom?" They both heard a voice and turned to see who was speaking; it was Cheng Jixuan, the only male in the house.
"I asked a question; what did you just say, Mom? Did you kill your father and grandfather? "Are you accountable for their deaths?" He rushed to her, questioning her and shaking her at the same time.
She swatted his hands away from her while keeping her eyes closed. She never wanted her children to find out, but they did. No amount of apologies could compensate for the losses she had caused them.
"I am sorry," she said with her eyes closed. Cheng Jixuan’s shoulders slumped, and his posture deflated as if air was seeping out of him.
He was about to fall, but Cheng Nan caught him and kept him upright. She sniffled as she observed his disappointed expression.
She could completely understand what he was going through. The turmoil was something she could understand. He must have been devastated by the news, as he was the closest to their father.
"How could you do it?" Standing beside Cheng Nan, he asked the question quietly. He did not recognise his mother anymore. He did not even know her anymore.
