Chapter 10: A Fierce Mother-in-Law

At the train station, Shen Mo and Liu Yue, who had bought a pile of food and drinks for the train, boarded the train.

Maybe because it was the wee hours, there weren't many people on this train.

Liu Yue leaned against the window, curiously taking in everything.

Although the hard seat was very uncomfortable, and the environment inside the train was also very poor.

But the moment Liu Yue thought about how she was experiencing what the internet called "youth is priceless, hard seat straight to Erbin," her mood inexplicably lifted.

This was a sense of freedom she had never felt before.

Closing her eyes and leaning against the seat, Liu Yue smiled as she recalled the events of the entire day.

In the morning, she signed an agreement with Liu Xinhua and withdrew from the Liu Corporation.

At noon, she held a press conference.

In the afternoon, she went to a bathhouse she had never been to before, and got a cheap massage she had never had before.

At dusk, she let loose at the Jieya Guan, sweeping away all the pent-up gloom on her.

In the evening, she ate hotpot she had never eaten before — the kind that wouldn't make it onto a high-society table — and bragged and shot the breeze with ordinary folks she would never normally come into contact with.

Now, close to midnight, she was on a train heading back to her grandfather's house.

Thinking of this, Liu Yue took out her phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message.

"Mom, I miss you. I'm on the train to Grandpa's house now. Can you and Grandpa come pick me up?"

No red exclamation mark appeared, and Liu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was also no immediate reply.

A flicker of disappointment passed through Liu Yue's eyes.

Ding ding ding ding.

"What? You came by train?"

"Are you out of money? Mom will transfer some to you."

"Oh my dear daughter, did that bastard Liu Xinhua bully you? Just you wait, Mom will chop him up when she gets back."

Alipay received one hundred thousand yuan.

"Daughter, get off at the nearest station in a bit, find a hotel to stay in, then send me your location. Mom will come pick you up."

"My silly girl, why didn't you tell Mom you were out of money."

Watching the messages flooding in, Liu Yue covered her mouth and cried.

Beside her, Shen Mo, who was chatting with Liuzi and complaining about Shen Jiayun in two hundred words, got a fright.

Seeing Liu Yue crying at her phone screen, Shen Mo's heart started pounding.

【Uh… what's going on, what should I do now?】

Shen Mo looked left, looked right, found no tissues, gritted his teeth, took off his own T-shirt, and handed it to Liu Yue.

"Use this to wipe."

【Thank goodness it's October, I need to wear a jacket.】

Liu Yue burst out laughing, took the T-shirt, and carefully wiped her face.

Then she typed into the screen.

Mom, I came with my husband. The main reason this time is to let you and Grandpa and Grandma meet him.

Also, I've split from the Liu Family. Can you take me in?

This time there was still no immediate reply.

The next second, a sixty-second voice message came in.

"Oh my dear daughter, what are you saying about taking you in or not? If you hadn't refused to leave with me back then, and that animal of a father of yours hadn't forbidden me from seeing you, you wouldn't have to be so careful about everything."

"What time does your train arrive? Ask your husband if he can take a beating."

"What kind of thing is he, letting you take the train."

Ding dong.

"Mom's coming to get you, don't worry, Mom will absolutely arrange everything perfectly for my daughter."

Liu Yue was deeply moved. Was this a mother's love? Even though they hadn't seen each other for fifteen years and hadn't been in contact for five, the moment she heard her daughter was coming, she was as warm as ever.

Liu Yue silently typed a line.

"Mom, I'm sorry."

Putting down her phone, Liu Yue wiped her tears with Shen Mo's T-shirt while recalling her own mother.

The year Liu Yue was thirteen, Liu Xinhua's mistress showed up at the door.

Liu Yue's mother blew up on the spot. As a tough Northeast woman, she couldn't stand a single grain of sand, and she gave Liu Xinhua a beating that put him in the hospital.

Then, possibly to get back at Liu Xinhua, Liu Yue's mother took that mistress to her own bed.

When Liu Xinhua found out, he had a cerebral hemorrhage and nearly died.

Especially that mistress named Wenya actually fell for Liu Yue's mother, Ms. Qin Hao.

After that, Liu Yue lived a life with one father, two mothers, and one grandfather.

Liu Xinhua watched Ms. Qin Hao and Ms. Wenya being lovey-dovey every day until he got so angry he developed heart disease.

Divorce became the only outcome at the time.

Ms. Qin Hao also agreed, but with one condition — Liu Yue had to go with her.

But Liu Yue, who was in her rebellious phase at the time, truly couldn't accept having both Wenya and Qin Hao as mothers, and flatly refused.

Liu Xinhua was pleased. Then Qin Hao gave Liu Yue a scolding, saying divorce was fine, but all the Liu Family's assets had to go to Liu Yue.

Unless Liu Yue gave them up voluntarily. Liu Xinhua gritted his teeth and signed it, declaring that Qin Hao was not allowed to visit.

If Qin Hao came to visit, the agreement would be voided, and Liu Yue would lose all inheritance rights to the assets.

Thinking about it now, Liu Yue felt she was truly a beast.

Shen Mo watched Liu Yue crying silently, not knowing how to comfort her.

As a pure-hearted virgin, he really didn't know how to coax a girl.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo handed his phone to Liu Yue.

"Wife, Grandma once said that when you're unhappy, you should think of happy things, and your mood will get better."

Taking the phone in confusion, Liu Yue looked at Liuzi's forwarded clip of Shen Jiayun's antics at the hotpot restaurant and burst out laughing on the spot.

Especially seeing the follow-up Liuzi forwarded of passersby paying for fake intel, Liu Yue couldn't help but laugh: "There really are a lot of righteous people out there."

After that sigh, Liu Yue received a message from her bestie Zhao Yanyan.

Zhao Yanyan: "Yueyue, you took the LS? Find a place to stop quick, Shen Jiayun took a plane to intercept you."

"Photo."

Looking at Shen Jiayun's smug post in the second-gen circle, along with his confident words about winning her Liu Yue back, Liu Yue calmly replied: "Yanyan, Shen Mo and I are on our way back to Erbin."

Zhao Yanyan: "???"

"Dying of laughter, what's going on here."

Liu Yue sent Zhao Yanyan the messages Liuzi had sent Shen Mo.

And then…

Zhao Yanyan: "LMAO, so that show-off dog Shen Jiayun got wrecked by random passersby?"

"No way, I'm buying Shen Jiayun a headline tomorrow."

Liu Yue: "Let it go, just laugh about it ourselves. Uncle Shen and Aunt Zhu treated me well enough, I can't go for the kill."

Zhao Yanyan: "Fine, fine."

Having received her mother's love, with her husband by her side, and having watched a good show, Liu Yue's mood improved considerably.

At five o'clock, Erbin was still pitch black.

But when Liu Yue and Shen Mo walked out of the train station exit, they saw a 178-cm tall, striking beauty in a trench coat striding over with a 160-cm southern beauty beside her.

Before Liu Yue could react, she was pulled into the striking beauty's embrace.

"My precious daughter, you scared your mom to death. How could you take the train?"

Saying this, the striking beauty Qin Hao glared at Shen Mo.

"So you're my son-in-law?"

"How could you let my precious baby take the train?"

"And don't you know how cold Erbin is in October?"

"How could you let my precious baby dress so thinly?"

The striking beauty Qin Hao unleashed a torrent on Shen Mo, leaving him a bit overwhelmed.

After Qin Hao finished spraying, the elegant southern beauty stepped forward and scolded: "Also, did you mistreat my Liu Yue? Why is she so thin?"

Only then did Qin Hao notice her daughter was really thin.

She quickly picked her up and felt her, and Qin Hao grew even angrier, kicking Shen Mo: "Did you mistreat my daughter? She's over 170 cm tall and only weighs just over ninety jin."

Shen Mo was dumbfounded.

【Holy crap, my mother-in-law is a bit too fierce.】

Liu Yue cried on the side, moved.

Her mother's words never mentioned love, but every sentence was love.

Liu Yue hurriedly stopped her mother and Aunt Wenyа from launching a joint couple-beating, explaining: "Mom, it wasn't Shen Mo who mistreated me, it was my dad."

Qin Hao grew even angrier.

"What happened?"

Liu Yue told them about her car accident and being a Vegetative for six months.

Wenyа's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she hugged Liu Yue and cried.

Qin Hao was so angry her whole body trembled.

"What? Granddaughter, what did you say?"

"You were hit into a Vegetative?"

Shen Mo looked toward the voice and saw a burly old man in a military coat and military cap standing not far away, holding a whip, with a big off-road vehicle parked beside him.

Qin Hao handed the car keys to Wenyа and walked toward the old man.

"Dad, let Wenya take Yueyue home. You and I are taking a plane to Jinghai. I have to beat that beast Liu Xinhua to death."

"Back then we agreed Yueyue would go with him, and he promised to take good care of her. And this is how he took care of her."

"And that little beast from the Liu Family Group can forget about having it easy either."

Climbing into Liu Yue's grandpa's off-road vehicle, Ms. Qin Hao grabbed her dad and took off.

This swift and decisive scene left Shen Mo stunned.

【Holy crap, my mother-in-law is a bit fierce.】

Wenyа then took Liu Yue and Shen Mo in the car to go home.
