Chapter 2178: From a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free Card to a Death Warrant

Sui Xin's mother was stunned for a moment before she realized this wretched girl was talking to her.

Instantly, she was consumed by rage, opening her mouth to shout: "The world has turned upside down! How dare you speak to me like this!"

"I am an independent person, not a tool for you to win over Dad! I will no longer listen to your manipulation. Please leave now, or I will call the police!"

"Then call the police! Let's see if the police arrest me or you, this unfilial daughter!"

Sui Xin's mother shouted more and more angrily.

She even wanted to lay hands on Sui Xin.

But with the crowd blocking her, her heart was willing but her strength was insufficient.

In the end, she could only shout at the crowd: "Don't be busybodies! I want to talk to my daughter, all of you get out of my way!"

The crowd not only refused to move, but instead pushed her outward.

The repeated pushing caused Sui Xin's mother's rage to burn away her reason.

She actually pulled a fruit knife from her pocket and began waving it around wildly!

Seeing this, the crowd dared not approach.

Sui Xin's mother became arrogant once again.

She stared coldly at Sui Xin with a crazed look in her eyes: "If it weren't for me working hard to find ways all these years, your father would have forgotten you long ago! Now that you've gained some power, you want to dump me? Dream on! You are just a puppet in my hands, and you will be for the rest of your life!"

As the words fell, Sui Xin's mother rushed toward her.

The crowd screamed and ran away.

Sui Xin was also running.

But she tripped and fell to the ground.

In a panic, Sui Xin scrambled up in a disheveled state, intending to continue fleeing for her life.

But Sui Xin's mother seized the opportunity to grab her arm.

Then the dagger was pressed against Sui Xin's neck!

Instantly, Sui Xin felt a chill run through her entire body.

She dared not move anymore, so she looked sideways and asked tremblingly: "W-what are you doing?"

"Daughter, if you are stabbed, will your father come to visit you immediately?"

Her mother's words left Sui Xin bloodless.

She warned in a trembling voice: "If you hurt me in front of so many people, you won't get any benefit yourself!"

"Heh, don't worry, my good daughter. I just saw a Doctor; I'm emotionally unstable, so hurting you wouldn't be my intention either!"

Sui Xin's mother had already thought of a way out.

It seemed that this time, she would not let Sui Xin go!

Sui Xin's heart turned cold.

Yet, upon catching sight of a capable-looking figure, she suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Ms. Su, save me!"

This was originally a family matter, and Su Kexuan did not want to get involved.

But she did not expect Sui Xin's mother to dare use a lethal weapon...

It was truly insane.

Su Kexuan did not want a bloody incident to occur in the factory, so she spoke up: "Does seeing a Doctor give you a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card? Let me tell you the truth: you are showing aggression now, and the police will send you to a mental hospital."

"Nonsense!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, feel free to ask. By then, you will only be able to watch your husband and his wife living happily together from inside a mental hospital."

Su Kexuan was truly striking where it hurt.

Sui Xin's mother's expression changed immediately: "Shut your mouth!"

"What, I'm just saying it, and you can't bear to hear it? Then you'll have plenty to endure in the days to come at the mental hospital."

"You... you bastard!"

"The one who did the bastardly thing is you. The path is one you chose yourself. Feel free to plunge the knife in and see what kind of ending you get!"

As Su Kexuan spoke, she crossed her arms and assumed the posture of someone watching a show.

And Sui Xin's mother's expression grew increasingly ugly.

Originally, she had been fearless.

But now? She was stuck in a dilemma!

Sui Xin's mother stared fixedly at Su Kexuan.

She felt that it was all because this woman was meddling, leaving her unable to advance or retreat!

Sui Xin kept a close watch on her mother's emotional changes.

Discovering that her mother was grinding her teeth but delaying speaking, she knew there were misgivings in her heart.

Rolling her eyes, Sui Xin negotiated with her mother: "Mom, put the knife down first, and let's discuss other ways together to win Dad back."

"You can still stand on my side?"

"Of course, you are my biological mother, and I also hope you can be happy."

Hmph, if she really thought that, she wouldn't have stopped answering calls and even moved to a new home!

Sui Xin's mother cursed her own daughter secretly in her heart.

But on the surface, she threw the knife away and hugged Sui Xin, sobbing bitterly.

"Child, Mom's heart is suffering!"

Sui Xin's mother wept as she poured out the bitterness of these past years.

In her description, she was a tragic character who had been abandoned yet remained steadfast in her love.

Even if her actions were a bit extreme, it was out of desperation and could be forgiven.

Among the onlookers, some felt sympathy because of the wailing and weeping of Sui Xin's mother.

But Sui Xin...

She only sneered in her heart.

She thought her mother's acting skills were becoming more and more masterful!

Sui Xin lowered her eyelashes, covering the mockery in the depths of her eyes.

When she raised her eyes, however, she discovered that Su Kexuan had already turned and left.

"Su..."

Sui Xin's lips moved, wanting to call out to Su Kexuan.

But after hesitating for a moment, Sui Xin let go of this thought.

Instead, she hugged her mother, performing a scene of deep mother-daughter affection with her.

At this moment, Su Kexuan, who had walked out of the factory, could guess what the situation was inside.

But that had nothing to do with her.

She rubbed her temples and turned a corner along the road outside the factory.

Lowering the hand that had been rubbing her temples, Su Kexuan prepared to contact her assistant to ask where he had reached.

Su Kexuan had left early; she estimated that her assistant was still on the road at this moment.

Sure enough, after the call connected, the assistant on the other end said, "There is a traffic jam on the elevated bridge; it will take at least an hour to arrive."

An hour, huh...

That is a bit long.

Su Kexuan did not want to wait bitterly.

After pondering for a moment, she proposed a suggestion: "I will see if there is any other way to get back from here; if there is, I will call to tell you, and you can save yourself the trip over here."

"That works too."

"Let's leave it at that for now, be careful on the road."

Su Kexuan hung up the phone and stood by the side of the road, looking left and right.

She hoped she would be lucky enough to encounter a car heading back to the city center and get a kind-hearted ride for a stretch.

But just looking like this...

Su Kexuan was actually quite lucky.

She saw Jiang Mobai!

But after staring for a while, Su Kexuan felt that she had said that too soon.

Because Jiang Mobai's car seemed to have run into trouble as well.

Su Kexuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

She shook her head, stepped over to the side of the car by the road, and asked, "Changing a tire?"

At this moment, Jiang Mobai had just taken the spare tire out of the trunk.

Because he was so focused, he had not noticed someone approaching from the roadside.

Once he heard the familiar voice, his fingers trembled, and the tire nearly smashed onto his leg.

Fortunately, Su Kexuan reached out in time to steady it.

This false alarm made Jiang Mobai break out in a cold sweat.

He let out a long breath and then explained somewhat awkwardly, "The tire was punctured, and I was just about to change it."

"I'll help you."

"Actually... even if you don't help, I would have been finished changing it soon."

Jiang Mobai muttered.

The voice was not very loud.

Although Su Kexuan heard it clearly, she did not respond; she silently helped Jiang Mobai finish changing the tire.

When Su Kexuan stood up straight, she saw that there was a smudge of black on Jiang Mobai's clean cheek.
