Chapter 177: This House, She Would Make Them Cough It Up Sooner or Later

~7 min read 1,362 words

Terror flickered in Chu Sheng's eyes as she looked at Qin Shu; she let out a scream before being pressed into the water.

She struggled incessantly, the air in her chest seemingly drained away, flowing out of her body bit by bit.

Chu Sheng was repeatedly pressed into the water countless times; every time she thought she would die from suffocation, Qin Shu would pull her back out.

The last time, when Chu Sheng was on the verge of fainting, she was pulled up by Qin Shu.

Soaked to the bone, she lay on the floor panting frantically, her chest heaving violently as she gulped down fresh air.

The woman's hair was disheveled, water droplets falling continuously onto her face; she lay limp on the ground, her spirit almost broken by this torture of "breaking the hawk."

Chu Sheng lay on the floor in a wretched state, her eyes filled with fear and dread as she looked at Qin Shu.

That sense of despair, the feeling of being on the brink of death, still lingered around her.

Chu Sheng would likely never understand that if she provoked Qin Shu, Qin Shu might endure it, but she would not act on impulse.

No mother could tolerate the abuse of Gu Yichen, even if it was just for show.

Even if she had truly killed Chu Sheng today, Qin Shu would not regret the choice.

But she would not sacrifice herself for this piece of trash, making a losing deal.

For someone like Chu Sheng, death would actually be a release.

Only by taking away what she cared about most and leaving her with nothing would she truly suffer.

Qin Shu stepped forward, and Chu Sheng scrambled backward on the floor in terror, her eyes filled with fear and dread as she looked at her.

Qin Shu crouched before her and raised her hand to slap her again. "Smack!" A crisp sound rang out, and Chu Sheng's head was knocked to the side.

Qin Shu's eyes, cold as ice, fell upon Chu Sheng, her voice frigid: "Dare to touch my son, and I will destroy you."

Hearing this, Chu Sheng couldn't stop shivering, her eyes filled with fear and panic.

"Qin Shu, murder is against the law!"

Chu Sheng knew without a doubt that Qin Shu truly wanted to kill her.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Qin Shu stood up and looked down at her, her gaze terrifyingly cold: "I want you to have nothing, to wish you were dead."

These words struck Chu Sheng like a curse, making her shiver uncontrollably, feeling only profound terror.

This version of Qin Shu was one she had never seen before; she seemed like a devil from hell.

Qin Shu smiled, looking at the wretched, soaking-wet Chu Sheng, and said, "Chu Sheng, I have time to play with you slowly now."

Chu Sheng felt as if she had been targeted by a venomous snake, causing her to tremble; she looked up, her eyes filled with venomous resentment and unwillingness as she stared at Qin Shu.

She would make Qin Shu pay back today's humiliation and every slap a hundredfold!

Suddenly, her gaze paused as she looked at Gu Tingyan behind Qin Shu; her eyes filled with a plea for help, and her face, previously twisted with anger and hatred, became pitiful.

"Tingyan, you're finally here! Qin Shu is hitting me!"

Chu Sheng covered her face and cried out in grievance: "Call the police! Hurry and call the police to arrest her!"

Qin Shu turned to see Gu Tingyan behind her, her expression cold and heavy as she looked at him; she curled her lips in a cold sneer, wanting to see how he would choose.

Gu Tingyan met Qin Shu's gaze, pursed his lips, and said softly, "You should go."

Chu Sheng was stunned. She had been beaten like this, and Qin Shu had broken into her home to treat her this way; not only did Gu Tingyan not help her, but he was telling Qin Shu to leave?

Chu Sheng looked on in disbelief, screaming at Gu Tingyan like a madwoman: "I am your fiancée!"

Qin Shu looked at the woman who used to be so high and mighty, now like a drowned rat, soaking wet and acting insane. She looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Every night from now on, remember to wash your neck and wait for me."

Having said that, Qin Shu didn't even glance at Gu Tingyan or Chu Sheng, and left downstairs with Ji Yanli.

Chu Sheng stared at her retreating back, clenching her fists viciously, wishing she could tear her to pieces!

Qin Shu! Qin Shu!

I will definitely make you wish you were dead!

Qin Shu took Ji Yanli downstairs. In the hall, the members of the Chu Family and their bodyguards were all tied up and confined in the living room.

Jiang Chenxue had been anxious for a long time waiting for Qin Shu to come down from Chu Sheng's room, and upon hearing Chu Sheng's screams, she was already frantic, yet she was held in place by the bodyguards Qin Shu had brought.

Now seeing Qin Shu come downstairs, the look in her eyes was as if she wanted to devour her.

Jiang Chenxue looked at Qin Shu with murderous eyes, her voice cold and vicious: "You little mongrel, you will die a horrible death!"

Qin Shu paused for a moment, walked up to Jiang Chenxue, and chuckled: "I'll wait and see if it's you who makes me wish I were dead,"

"or if I make you suffer a fate worse than death."

Qin Shu raised her hand and patted Jiang Chenxue's cheek, a highly insulting gesture, and sneered: "Jiang Chenxue, I will settle the score between us one by one."

Hearing this, Jiang Chenxue's entire body stiffened, and she couldn't help but shiver to her core.

Chu Laotaitai looked at Qin Shu, furious: "You little wild seed, you dare to threaten your stepmother? I should have strangled you when you were born!"

"How did you even get the chance to live until now! You have no respect for your elders!"

"You're just as cheap as your mother!"

A fierce aura permeated Qin Shu's eyes. She walked over, raised her hand, and slapped Chu Laotaitai across the cheek: "You ate my mother's food and used my mother's things."

"And you have the nerve to mention her?"

Chu Xuanming roared: "Qin Shu! How dare you hit your grandmother!"

Qin Shu turned back and looked at him coldly: "I don't have a grandmother. My surname is Qin, not Chu."

Chu Xuanming was intimidated by her gaze and was unable to speak for a moment.

"What are you, to think you have the right to control me!" Qin Shu sneered.

Ever since Chu Xuanming drove her and her mother out of the Chu Family, Qin Shu had never acknowledged Chu Xuanming as her father.

He didn't deserve it!

Qin Shu had never understood why Chu Xuanming hated her mother and her, his own biological daughter, so much.

Qin Shu really wanted to ask Chu Xuanming if his conscience had been eaten by dogs.

Back when he had nothing, he relied on the Qin Family to get his start; after achieving success and fame, he began wanting to break away from the Qin Family, openly finding a mistress, and scheming to leave her mother with nothing, so that when they divorced, she didn't get a single cent.

Even this villa where Chu Xuanming lives with his mistress's family was originally bought by the Qin Family.

Yet a person like this would never reflect on whether he was wrong, and would even think Qin Shu was extremely vicious and disrespectful to her elders.

Qin Shu sneered, not even bothering to ask, and turned to leave the Chu Family.

Sooner or later, she would make them cough up this house.

Qin Shu left with her bodyguards, and Gu Tingyan came downstairs to see Chu Laotaitai slumped on the sofa crying: "What a sin, what a sin."

"I shouldn't have raised this ungrateful wretch in the first place, a heartless and ungrateful thing."
