Chapter 67 The Source of Pain
Xiao Yun's health deteriorated day by day, and she spent her days in tears. At the young age of thirty, she was already riddled with illnesses, and her once serene and beautiful face was gone forever. Anyone who saw her would tease her about her rapidly aging appearance.
Xiao Yun was aware of everyone's attitude, but for some reason, she still insisted on staying at the Su family.
During this time, Su Yuchen resisted, but each time he resisted, Xiao Yun was left covered in wounds. Unable to protect Xiao Yun, Su Yuchen gave up and became a pawn of the old woman.
She may have grasped this psychology of Su Yuchen, and she went even further.
On the day Xiao Yun went out to buy groceries, a woman with an elegant and noble appearance came to the house. She chatted and laughed with the old woman. Su Yuchen instinctively disliked her and hid in the house.
However, the old woman led the woman upstairs, opened the door to the room, and looked down at Su Yuchen in the corner.
"Su Yuchen, come here and call me Mom!" The old woman waved to Su Yuchen with a smile.
At that moment, Su Yuchen felt a wave of humiliation he had never experienced before, and he found the scene extremely jarring.
He only has one mother, so why should he call this woman, whose background is unknown and who looks sharp and mean?
"No!" Su Yuchen's eyes held an unprecedented firmness.
The old woman probably felt she had lost control; her delicate face contorted with a hint of ferocity.
"Su Yuchen, say that again!" The old woman strode to the corner, grabbed Su Yuchen's wrist tightly, and said fiercely.
The humiliation and pain of many days welled up in his heart, and it was at that time that he hated the feeling of being controlled.
"I'll say it a hundred times, it's still the same! I only have one mother! What is she anyway!" Su Yuchen roared hoarsely.
The old woman slapped him, and Su Yuchen's left cheek quickly swelled up.
Tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't let them fall.
Men don't easily shed tears; they don't deserve it!
The old woman apologized to the woman who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, and when she looked at Su Yuchen again, she was incredibly fierce, unlike anything she had ever seen before.
"Su Yuchen, if you don't scream for a day, I'll chop off one of Xiao Yun's fingers, until you scream!" The old woman's eyes were filled with bloodlust.
Su Yuchen's thin and frail body took a step back, fear rising in his heart.
This crazy woman dares to say it, and she dares to do it!
He struggled terribly as he looked at the woman with her head held high, and walked towards her step by step. As his lips trembled, he felt a sharp pain in his knees, and his knees involuntarily knelt down on the floor.
“From now on, she is your mother. You must kneel down to show your sincerity.” The old woman crossed her arms, her eyes full of disdain.
Su Yuchen knelt on the ground, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside him, but for Xiao Yun's sake, he could endure anything.
Just as Su Yuchen was about to utter that one word, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground rang out.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Yun's figure appeared at the door, and Su Yuchen's strength crumbled at that moment.
Without saying a word, Xiao Yun rushed in and hugged Su Yuchen tightly, her eyes filled with apprehension.
"Madam, if you have any complaints, take them out on me. What did Xiaoyu do wrong? He's just a child!"
This was the first time Su Yuchen had seen Xiao Yun's attitude so firm, but in the face of absolute power, their resistance was so laughable.
The old woman gave the order, and several burly women rushed in and quickly subdued Xiao Yun.
"Xiao Yun, if you know what's good for you, leave your son here and get out."
"If you don't know what's good for you, then leave your life behind!" The old woman toyed with her fingernails, her words chilling.
At that time, Su Yuchen only remembered that his mother's body was trembling and her eyes were red.
"Grandma, I beg you, please don't send Mom away. I'll do anything you ask, I beg you..." Su Yuchen ran out of his stunned mother's arms, knelt in front of the old woman and the other woman, and kowtowed desperately.
However, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yun getting up behind him out of the corner of his eye.
A mother and son are of one mind; how could he not know what Xiao Yun was thinking?
"Mom, please, don't go, don't go!" Su Yuchen grabbed her trouser leg, crying his heart out.
However, Xiao Yun's heart was as firm as a pounding weight, completely unmovable.
"Xiao Yu, be a good boy/girl from now on. Mommy will wait for you to grow up."
She left behind only this one sentence, and departed resolutely.
His hands suddenly felt empty, as if something was slipping away, and despair filled Su Yuchen's eyes.
He was grabbed by the old women and forced to lie down in front of them.
"Mom!" Su Yuchen cried until his voice was hoarse, and tears streamed down his cheeks like a broken string.
Just when he thought he was really going to lose his mother, a glimmer of hope reappeared. He looked at Su Weiwen, who had rushed back from receiving the news, and grabbed Xiao Yun.
The light in Su Yuchen's eyes shone again, and he shouted at Su Weiwen at the door, "Dad, Grandma wants to kick Mom out, don't let Mom leave!"
Su Weiwen has never had his own opinions in his life. With such a strong old woman by his side, he has become timid and submissive.
But this time, he openly defied the old woman's wishes.
He knelt down in front of the old woman with a thud, begging her for mercy.
"Mom, I beg you, please don't treat Xiao Yun like this. If you don't like her, I'll just take her and Xiao Yu away. Why make things like this?" Su Weiwen's eyes reddened.
Xiao Yun had always been gentle, but at that moment, seeing her lover and son kneeling on the ground pleading for her, a look of relief and reassurance flashed in her eyes.
She smiled, stepped forward and helped Su Weiwen up, her eyes filled with tears.
“Weiwen, there’s no need for that. Leaving the Su family is my choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.”
After saying that, before Su Weiwen could say anything, Xiao Yun looked at the father and son with great reluctance and shook off Su Weiwen's hand.
This time, she's really gone.
"mom!"
"Xiao Yun!"
Su Weiwen was about to chase after her when the old woman's voice rang out again.
"Su Weiwen, if you step out of this door today, don't ever come back. We're severing all ties between us!"
Seeing Su Weiwen stop walking, his eyes filled with despair, he seemed to have lost his soul, utterly devoid of any will to live.
Xiao Yun's departure was nothing more than a minor incident to them, and before long, they were talking about marriage again.
……
"Madam, Young Master, something terrible has happened! Xiao Yun has been in a car accident at the intersection!"
Su Yuchen, sitting in his seat, felt as if struck by lightning. Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop him, he stumbled and ran towards the door.
They're talking nonsense, they must be talking nonsense!
How could this be! How could Mom have been in a car accident! They must be lying to themselves, they must be!
Su Yuchen's legs were weak, and he stumbled and staggered until he finally reached the intersection surrounded by many people.
Through the gaps in the crowd, he saw that pale pink dress, which was now stained with blood.
At that moment, his hands and feet were ice cold, and his mind was blank.
Squeezing through the crowd, Su Yuchen looked at the person lying in a pool of blood, his hands trembling.
"Mom...Mom." His voice trembled.
Su Yuchen knelt on the ground and crawled frantically toward Xiao Yun.
"Mom, don't scare me, I'm scared... Mom, open your eyes and look at me... look at me!"
He held Xiao Yun in his arms, completely at a loss, his body trembling like a leaf.
"Mommy, you're not cold. I'll warm you up." His little hands were already covered in blood as he frantically rubbed Xiao Yun's hands, which were gradually losing their warmth.
"Mother……"
