Chapter 305: Retaliation

【The ones who harmed your mother back then were likely Ji Shouguo and Ji Tianci.】

This was also Wulongcha's guess: 【You discovered something? I'm not surprised that Ji Tianci was involved — what his wife did, he knew nothing about at all? Just think about it and that's impossible! But Ji Shouguo — are you sure? He's actually an insider too, then weren't my Maternal Grandparents the most wronged souls in history, more wronged than Dou E?】

They raised their enemies for half a lifetime!

For that half lifetime they also bowed and scraped, living like an old ox plowing the fields hard every day, yet having to find its own food!

Wulongcha nodded too: 【So tragic — your grandmother and your mother were both so tragic!】

Su Yu's eyes brimmed with tears: 【How come the men my grandmother and my mother found, not a single one was any good? All useless burdens who dragged them down!】

Ji Tianlin felt ashamed, while Su Yi was shocked and indignant! How was he a useless burden? He was much stronger than his father-in-law, okay? He at least had a very impressive older brother!

Back then, wasn't it Su Yu herself who came eagerly begging his older brother?

How could they say he was useless?!

He was still useful — at the very least, he had a face similar to his older brother, and then passed it on to Su Yu!

That said, Su Yi still sensibly slipped outside! His daughter might hold back out of consideration for her elders and their red envelopes, but she would one hundred percent take her frustrations out on him, this jinx!

In the whole family, he was the one who doted on Su Yu the most!

Hmph!

A little child scolded him every single day!

Su Yi slipped away, and Ji Tianlin was on the verge of collapse!

If this were true, what did that make him? He knew full well that all the young direct-line male descendants of the Ji Family had been sent abroad!

He knew that the things those children used, their footholds abroad — all of it was what he had been talked into providing for the family's members, things to placate them!

So the whole family had been scheming against him?

Ji Tianlin began to doubt whether he was even a member of the Ji Family at all.

Was he even surnamed Ji?

Ji Tianlin was being held down by Su Xi to read documents, his heart already frantic and restless! He desperately wanted to make a phone call to have his people impersonate an overseas scam ring to investigate! He had to find out whether his father and older brother were really in that place.

And — he wanted to do a Paternity Test with Ji Shouguo!

Did he suspect he wasn't Ji Shouguo's child?

Su Yu couldn't swallow this anger: 【Draw all the remaining three hundred thousand. I'm not letting a single person off!】

So what if Ji Shouguo and Ji Tianci shifted the blame onto Ji Xiaoling? They were connected to the matter of harming her mother, so don't even think about running! Those who deserve punishment, every single one must be punished!

Wulongcha tenderly used a Lucky Card on Su Yu, letting her draw thirty times.

【All done drawing — they're all the Misfortune Cards you wanted. Give them out now?】

【Distribute them as you see fit — Ji Shouguo, Ji Tianci, Xiao Fang, and the Ji Family's second child. Anyway, every single one of those bastards who laid hands on my mom and my grandmother, not one of them gets spared!】

【Got it!】

Wulongcha agreed, and furiously set off with the Misfortune Cards to get to work!

If not for those bastards, Su Yu would never have used up all the money! Wouldn't it have been fine to just honestly accept their punishment? They had to add on the crime of "fleeing to escape guilt"!

Wulongcha went to deliver the Misfortune Cards, and Su Yu no longer had the heart to keep reading Ji Xiaoling's "glorious deeds"!

Su Yu lay on her stomach on the comfortable sofa, drowsy: 【I wonder how Ji Xiaoling is doing now. I really want to see her looking wretched!】

Whenever she thought about how at such a young age Ji Xiaoling had ruthlessly taken her mother out and thrown her away, Su Yu felt sick at heart!

That kind of murderer deserved the death penalty! A death penalty with her reputation utterly ruined, cursed by everyone!

……

At the temporary detention center, Ji Xiaoling had already tried many methods of suicide! But no matter what she did, she couldn't die!

Without any sharp metal objects, she planned to kill herself by bashing her head against the wall! Even if she died, she refused to be shackled and hauled before a court, going through the motions, having her crimes pronounced by a group of people!

She should be the lofty eldest young lady of the Ji Family!

She should be a woman everyone looked up to, married into a noble, wealthy family!

Yet she was reviled by the masses, criticized by mainstream media!

She refused to accept it!

She had only done it for herself!

She had simply failed, that was all!

Ji Xiaoling resented the person who had deliberately arranged this room for her!

It must have been intentional!

Deliberately letting her see how people online cursed her, how the news was broadcast! She admitted the other side had succeeded!

Ji Xiaoling had never wanted to die more than at this moment. She no longer dwelled on how there could be so much evidence for the things she had done, nor did she think about why the Ji Family's loyalists who followed the family head's orders would betray her. At this moment, she only wanted to die in this cell — her final act of defiance against this unfair world!

But the surrounding walls were all covered in a thick layer of cotton cloth, stuffed with cotton — impossible to kill anyone by bashing against them!

She tried a hunger strike, but the aroma of the food was too tempting! When she went on hunger strike, someone would come give her nutrient injections! She had to endure double suffering!

Ji Xiaoling began to go mad!

She wanted to go to a psychiatric hospital, wanted to escape trial. As long as she went mad, no one could know — she could escape, live as an ordinary person afterward, and find a way to take her revenge!

For however many days she "went mad," there were that many injections of sedatives!

She began to become drowsy, unable to muster the energy to keep playing the fool!

Just as she was about to be pushed onto the judgment seat, she received good news and bad news.

The good news was that her grandfather and father had both been found. They would soon come to reunite with her.

The bad news was that her grandfather and father were likewise criminals! The crimes her grandfather and father had committed were far more serious than hers — so serious that even she, a prisoner who might face the death penalty, was not allowed to see them.

She began to panic!

Other than her grandfather and her father, no one else would possibly help her get cleared of charges. Would she truly be dragged before everyone, have her crimes read aloud, and then be sentenced to death?

Outside, only her mother was left!

But her mother is extremely pragmatic and cold‑hearted. She can act for ten years as if she loves her, pretending to cherish her, yet in reality she has no feeling for this daughter at all!

She feels so resentful!

Why did her family end up like this? Why did she fail? She clearly had so many leverage points that went unused!

……

At the Su family manor, Su Yu peeks around the study doorway.

Su Yi was speechless; how can anyone work earnestly like this?

"If you want to come in, just come in; why are you loitering outside?"

"Let me take a look; is that not allowed?"

Su Yu habitually opposes Su Yi.

"You're disrupting my work!"

Su Yi clenched his teeth, and Su Yu kept peeking around; he respects his daughter's little hobby, but when she fidgets, her inner voice never quiets, constantly shouting, 【Go, or not go, go or not go】, looping endlessly, driving him mad and leaving him unable to focus on his work!

"I'm not, I'm just sticking my head out!"

【Dad is being ridiculous, it's clearly his own lack of focus, yet he blames me?】

"What on earth are you trying to do?"

Su Yu said hesitantly, "Ji Xiaoling is going to court; should we take Mom to watch?"
