Chapter 40: I Became a Woman with Nothing Left Overnight
Proofreader: Zhou Zhijie
It takes only half a day for Li to get information about Pudding.
It was a woman wearing a mask that pushed away Pudding’s stroller. She immediately got into a car right outside the park. As for where the car is now, it’s still being tracked down.
Mu’s heart finally falls from throat back halfway to her chest. She believes firmly that Li Qiaosheng will be able to capture that woman alive soon!
In the afternoon, Mu Ziyou, who hasn’t slept for nearly 24 hours straight, is at last put to bed by Qin Yang to take a rest for a while. Yet when her phone rings, she opens her eyes immediately. It’s an unknown number.
“If you still want your baby alive, come to see me alone.”
Although the caller didn’t introduce herself, Mu Ziyou recognized at once that the woman is Xia Wanyan, who has been missing for a long time!
Since it is not a baby trafficker that took her son, Mu Ziyou can now feel a little relieved. But thinking of the personal grudge between them, she’s still in a state of anxiety. After having received the address Xia Wanyan sends her, she finds an excuse and goes out alone.
The place Xia Wanyan wants Mu Ziyou to come to is the underground parking lot of a mall.
It is a big parking lot, kind of like a maze. Mu Ziyou has a poor sense of direction. Therefore, it takes her quite some time to find Xia Wanyan who is almost unrecognizable!
Soon, however, Mu Ziyou loses the mood to greet her old best friend for she hears her son crying and a ticking sound of the countdown —
“Ha ha, Mu Ziyou! I didn’t expect that you would dare to come alone for your son! Well, it depends on your luck whether you can save Pudding before the bomb goes off!” Xia Wanyan now doesn’t look like a fair lady at all, instead her whole person is in a kind of lunatic state!
Mu Ziyou feels somewhat scared now. She till tries to remind her, “Xia Wanyan, it is a mall above us! It wouldn’t be that insane if it were just me and Pudding. You know, you can never get out alive if you get customers above us involved!”
“I didn’t intend to live alone! Mu Ziyou, oh, no, my dear sister. You must be very cheerful and happy now. My father has become your father, and Qiaosheng’s heart is now captured by you. You even have such a lovely baby! What about me?! I became a woman with nothing left overnight! Do you know the difference between falling from heaven to hell and climbing from hell to heaven?”
“Cut the crap!” Mu Ziyou is not in the mood to chat with her. She tries to judge the location of Pudding, intending to move over stealthily.
Deliberately delaying her action is exactly Xia’s purpose. “Of course, you don’t know. You have no idea what the difference is like, the despair of falling from heaven to hell and the gratification of climbing from hell to heaven! That is unbearable! How lucky you are, the one who rises from hell to heaven, and I, because of that video, became the object that everyone despises! Even my own father!”
“Xia Wanyan, you are wrong. The person who is used to being in hell will never forget that painful period even when he or she is in heaven. And you, you’ve just arrived in hell. And you are already claiming it unbearable, even want to die together with me. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
With her good sense of hearing, Mu Ziyou finally figures out that Pudding is trapped in a car to the left behind her. The key to the car must be in Xia Wanyan’s hand, and it’s not clear how powerful the effect of the bomb is. Not daring to move rashly, Mu Ziyou could only hope to make Xia come to her senses with words.
“Oh, yes. I admit that my endurance is not as good as yours. After all, I was pampered by my father since I was a little girl as the apple in his eyes! And you?! You were living a poor life with your whore mother! Since you are so tough, don’t come to snatch all these from me! You were dead before. Why are you back alive again to take everything from me. Why…” At this point, Xia Wanyan’s emotions are already out of control. With a shaking of her hand, the countdown is even quickened by several beats!
