Chapter 137: The Liu Family Besieges Zhou Yue

~7 min read 1,377 words

Zhou Yue signed Liu Haibo's death certificate with a blank expression, watching the family members who had rushed over upon hearing the news wail and howl, her soul seemingly drifting beyond the heavens.

This scene, in the eyes of Liu Haibo's family members, immediately drew another round of pointing and whispering.

"What kind of fate is this for Haibo, finding this second-marriage young wife? How can her heart be so cruel? The man is gone, and she's like it's nothing, not even shedding a single tear."

"Sigh, that's why they say, there aren't many sincere ones among these mid-life couples. That Xiaohui from before was so good."

"Don't just talk about her; this Lao Liu brought it on himself too. He was philandering everywhere while he was alive, and now he's ended up with an outcome like this."

Zhou Yue listened to the pointing and whispering around her, as if they were coming from another space-time.

Until a hoarse, unpleasant voice pulled her back to reality.

"You are Zhou Yue?"

Zhou Yue withdrew her thoughts, her line of sight gradually focusing.

Standing before her was a large, fat man weighing nearly three hundred pounds, his round, black, fatty face covered in pockmarks, yet his eyes were as small as mung beans.

At this moment, those two mung-bean-like eyes were glaring at her with a gaze filled with scrutiny and hatred.

Beyond that, there seemed to be a hint of obscure desire within that gaze.

"I am Zhou Yue, who are you?" Zhou Yue met the fat man, her gaze unable to help but dodge, and she asked somewhat weakly.

"I am Liu Dazhuang, Liu Haibo is my dad!" Liu Dazhuang said with his hands in his pockets, pointing at Zhou Yue with his fleshy double chin and speaking in a condescending tone.

"Oh, it's Dazhuang. I've heard Haibo mention you." Upon hearing his words, Zhou Yue hurriedly added a hint of warmth to her tone.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't get all familiar calling me Dazhuang, Dazhuang; we aren't that close, okay!" Liu Dazhuang said in a cavalier manner.

Hearing this tone from Liu Dazhuang, how could Zhou Yue not hear the hostility he held toward her?

When Liu Haibo was alive, he had told her that he had such a son, but he hadn't lived with him since he was very young. He also said this son was rebellious and disobedient.

She had never met Liu Dazhuang; she had only heard Liu Haibo speak of him.

But now, this son who had never returned home had returned.

Why? The answer was self-evident.

Fighting over the family estate, of course.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yue immediately forced herself to straighten her back, and her tone hardened a few degrees.

"Dazhuang, your dad and I were legally married." Zhou Yue said.

"So what if you got a marriage certificate? I'm telling you, our Liu family doesn't recognize you, you jinx!"

Just at this moment, a shrill and mean voice rang out.

Zhou Yue looked toward the source of the voice and saw that standing beside Liu Dazhuang was a woman who looked just as round as him. On the woman's large, round head were permed yellow corn-row curls, making her look mercenary and shrewd.

"Who are you?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Pfft, you don't even recognize us Liu family members, and you have the nerve to call yourself a daughter-in-law of our Liu family? Let me tell you, I am Liu Haibo's own sister, my name is Liu Haijuan. Zhou Yue, you husband-killing jinx, how many days had my brother been married to you? First he was thrown in jail, and now he's even lost his life; this is all your doing!"

"That's right, it's all your doing!"

"You never had any good intentions!"

"Haibo was truly blind to find a disaster-bringer like you!"

Listening to the pointing and whispering around her, Zhou Yue could no longer hold it in and let out a sharp "Ah!"

She pulled at her hair frantically and screamed at the top of her lungs, looking like she was about to go crazy, which actually stunned the crowd of Liu family relatives!

"What do you want? Liu Haibo died, but I didn't kill him, so why are you all coming at me? I lost my husband just after getting married; do you think I'm having an easy time? Huh?" Zhou Yue glared with bloodshot eyes, shouting at the Liu family relatives at the top of her voice.

"Zhou Yue, you don't need to put on this act to scare people; I'm telling you, our Liu family isn't scared easily! You say Haibo wasn't killed by you, so how come I heard that when he got into trouble, it was your ex-husband Lin Dazhi who reported him?" Liu Haijuan asked, crossing her arms and not showing any weakness.

"It was Lin Dazhi who reported him, so go find Lin Dazhi, why are you coming after me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Zhou Yue glared at Liu Haijuan and roared loudly.

This fearless momentum actually managed to scare Liu Haijuan. She took two steps back and said ungraciously: "I have to find Lin Dazhi too; there must be an explanation for this matter! But we aren't looking for you for that today, but for the house and property my brother left behind! I'm telling you, these all belong to my nephew Dazhuang, don't you go getting any ideas!" Liu Haijuan said.

"On what grounds? Liu Haibo and I were a legal couple, the law states I am the primary heir; on what grounds do I have no share in the house and property?" Zhou Yue said without yielding in the slightest.

"You still have the nerve to split the property? If it weren't for you, would my brother have ended up like this? Zhou Yue, don't think I don't know what you were planning back then! You're so young, why couldn't you find anyone else instead of my brother, who is over forty? Wasn't it because you saw he was a leader? Did you want to follow him and take advantage? If you had lived a proper life with him, I wouldn't say anything, but now my brother has lost his life because of you, what face do you have to split the property!"

"That's right, how can you be so shameless!"

"I'm telling you, the house and the money all belong to our Liu family, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"If you dare to have any more ideas about the house and the money, believe it or not, I'll break your legs!"

Although Zhou Yue was usually a strong-willed woman, she was mostly strong-willed at home, and as a teacher, she was used to reasoning and using her tongue; when had she ever faced such an unreasonable scene? Seeing everyone surrounding her, cursing and swearing, with some even starting to push and shove, she let out a scream, squeezed out of the encirclement with all her might, and ran toward the outside of the hospital as if fleeing.

She ran all the way to the street, and looking at the bustling traffic, a sense of despair and sorrow made her unable to suppress it any longer, and she squatted on the ground and sobbed.

She didn't know how long she had been crying, until a voice rang out beside her ear.

"Uncomfortable, aren't you? Painful, aren't you? All of this was brought to you by Lin Dazhi; do you want to finish him off?"

Hearing this eerie voice, Zhou Yue immediately stopped crying.

She turned her head to look to the side, and the first thing she saw was a pair of polished leather shoes that looked quite expensive.

Looking further up, she saw a man in a suit and leather shoes, dressed elegantly, with an air of nobility radiating from his entire being.

"Who are you?" Zhou Yue stopped crying, slowly stood up to look at him, and asked vigilantly.

"My name is Li Yongquan; you don't know me, but I know everything about you, and I can also settle all the trouble you are currently facing. How about it? Do you want to go have a drink with me?"
