Chapter 177: How Can You Be So Cold-Blooded and Heartless

Seeing Liu Chuxue acted with such speed, landing a heavy punch straight to Liu Jianqiang's stomach; before the rest of the First Branch could react, Liu Jianqiang couldn't even cry out.

Ge Xiulan let out an "Aaaah!" and lunged forward; Seeing Liu Chuxue grabbed Liu Jianqiang and flung him, sending the mother and son tumbling to the ground.

Liu Shanliang, furious and desperate, shouted, "Seeing Liu Chuxue, have you gone mad?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue remained expressionless, saying, "Yes, driven mad by you. Out of respect for my father's memory, I already let you off, but since you insist on seeking trouble, I will grant your wish."

The elderly couple of the Liu family, who had been pretending to be dead inside the house, heard their eldest grandson's wails and came out.

Seeing the eldest grandson's wretched state, the old Liu man roared in anger, "Seeing Liu Chuxue, he is your cousin; how could you lay such heavy hands on him?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue wore an expression of utter disdain: "Reap what you sow. Besides, we have already severed ties; he is not my cousin. Blame him for being the First Branch's son; he is taking this beating for his parents and younger brother."

Having finished speaking, she looked at the others of the First Branch: "I will say this once more: do not drag your rotten affairs into our Second Branch, or do not blame me for not holding back my hands."

Liu Ruhua was still young, her face full of indignation as she said, "Seeing Liu Chuxue, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless?"

The moment she spoke these words, not only Seeing Liu Chuxue, but even the villagers watching from outside wore strange expressions.

Seeing Liu Chuxue burst into loud laughter: "You are thirteen, not three. You allow your parents to shamelessly scheme against me, yet when you see the mad mother of your cousin, ruined by your family and forced to squat by the fence, come to trouble my mother, how dare you call me cold-blooded and heartless? You have read your books in vain; it would be better to be illiterate, since both are equally unable to distinguish right from wrong and only know how to twist logic."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's words were so degrading that Liu Ruhua, enraged, stammered, "You, you, you, you are talking nonsense."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's face was filled with mockery: "If my father had not remembered that we all share the surname Liu, and did not wish to shame our grandparents, bring disgrace upon the Liu clan, or let the villagers point and laugh at us, do you think your parents could have remained here in peace?"

Insulted by Seeing Liu Chuxue's words, Liu Ruhua was filled with shame and fury: "Do not speak so grandly. Do not forget you still took five hundred yuan from us and forced our grandparents and our family to sever ties with your Second Branch. What's wrong with calling you heartless and ungrateful?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue wore an expression of utter disdain: "You want me to be a fool?"

"Even though your parents committed such heinous acts, you still expect me to spare them out of the principle that one surname cannot produce two different Lius? Are you dreaming? Birds of a feather flock together; you are truly shameless."

"That money was compensation from your First Branch to me; it was mine by right. What are you complaining about? Besides, if we hadn't severed ties, would you not have schemed against me afterward?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue's words truly drove Liu Ruhua nearly mad with rage: "Severing ties with our First Branch is one thing, but why sever ties with our grandparents? They gave birth to and raised Second Uncle; Second Uncle is simply ungrateful."

Seeing Liu Chuxue's face grew even colder; she stepped forward and slapped Liu Ruhua across the face: "I gave you face, did I? What right do you have to accuse my father?"

At that moment, the old Liu man pointed a finger at Seeing Liu Chuxue: "Have you gone against heaven? Is what Ruhua said wrong?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue sneered inwardly; originally she had planned to settle scores with the elderly couple of the Liu family slowly, but he was in such a hurry: "Did you truly give birth to and raise my father?"

The moment these words were spoken, the old Liu man's heart skipped a beat, and a flicker of panic crossed Ge Pozi's face: "You wicked girl! If we didn't give birth to and raise him, do you think your father sprang from a crack in a rock?"
