Chapter 737

Excitement filled Tao Yan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into a morbid smile without her even realizing it.

Just as her sharp claws were about to strike Noticing Noticing Chu Ling.........

The girl, who had long since lost all hope and harbored thoughts of resistance, suddenly reached out and gripped Tao Yan's wrist, preventing her from moving an inch.

"You... you little bitch! Your parents hit you for your own good, and you actually dare to block me with your hand?"

Tao Yan was stunned, her face full of disbelief.

She hadn't expected that this lowly spawn, who usually didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of her,

would not only fail to offer her face to be hit this time, but actually dare to reach out and stop her?!!

Facing Tao Yan's exasperation, Noticing Noticing Chu Ling just kept a cold face, saying nothing.

Seeing Tao Yan raise her other hand to hit her again, Noticing Noticing Chu Ling felt a sudden surge of anger as she recalled the abuse and grievances she had suffered over the past dozen years.

Instinctively, she struck back with a backhand slap, landing squarely on Tao Yan's face.

Slap!!!

Due to long-term malnutrition, Noticing Noticing Chu Ling was skin and bones, and on top of suffering from stomach cancer, she was incredibly weak.

In truth, the force of the blow to Tao Yan's face wasn't very great.

But Tao Yan still widened her eyes, clutching her cheek as she stumbled back, completely dumbfounded.

"You... you... you actually dare to hit me!!!"

In this house, Noticing Noticing Chu Ling had always been a mere punching bag, left to be beaten and scolded at will.

Yet today, by a slip of the hand, she had been slapped by this little bitch.

What a humiliating disgrace!!!!!!

Regaining her senses, Tao Yan's expression turned icy in an instant, and she shrieked through gritted teeth:

"You animal, have you gone mad!!! I am your mother!!! You even dare to hit your own mother?!"

"You ungrateful little beast, raising a dog would have been better than raising you!!!"

"You're finished, see if I don't beat the shit out of you today!!!"

"............."

Furious to the extreme, Tao Yan grabbed a piece of firewood from the ground, viciously intending to rain blows down on Noticing Noticing Chu Ling.

Although she didn't know how this little mongrel had the guts to resist her today,

that didn't actually matter; in her sickly state, the other party posed no threat to her at all.

Since she had become disobedient, she would beat her until she was obedient; if she died from the beating, so be it!

She could just find some hillside to bury her in later!!!

"No biological mother would treat her own child like this!"

"You aren't actually my real mother, are you!"

Noticing Noticing Chu Ling clearly realized that she couldn't win by force.

But she didn't panic, nor did she crouch on the ground with her hands over her head as usual, letting Tao Yan beat and scold her.

Instead, she used an extremely certain tone to shift the topic.

Sure enough, the moment the biggest secret in her heart was touched upon, Tao Yan's attention was instantly diverted.

Looking at Noticing Noticing Chu Ling's resolute gaze, she felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, and her grip on the firewood loosened, causing it to drop to the ground with a 'thud'.

What was going on? What did she mean by that?

Could it be that she knew something........

Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!

Eighteen years had passed; the only ones who knew were her and Chu Xiong. She was 95% certain that it was impossible for an outsider... especially this little bitch, to know!!!

She must have just guessed it by accident... it must be that.......

Seeing her "mother's" panicked and guilty reaction, Noticing Noticing Chu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and she became increasingly convinced of the content she had heard in her "cousin's" inner voice.

At this moment, Tao Yan finally forced herself to calm down through psychological self-consolation.

However, she was in no mood to lay a hand on Noticing Noticing Chu Ling again; instead, she walked quickly toward the outside of the house, pointing a finger viciously at Noticing Noticing Chu Ling as she walked, cursing and swearing.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting, you little beast?"

"Gone mad, gone mad!!! Hitting me was bad enough, now you're doubting that I'm your mother?!"

"Forget it, I can't control you, you little mongrel! I'm going to tell your father right now and have him come and give you a proper 'stick education'!"

"I was worried about you before because he hit you too hard! It seems I was just too soft-hearted! An unfilial little beast like you deserves to be taught a harsh lesson!!!"

"............."

Soon, Tao Yan walked out of the woodshed, her voice gradually fading into the distance.

Watching the back of the person leaving, a strange look flashed in Noticing Noticing Chu Ling's eyes; the mystery of her birth... perhaps it would be revealed very soon......... ===== CHAPTER 738 =====
