Chapter 1386: Chapter 1384: The Great Threat
One Wufu was already difficult enough to handle, and now with Madam Zhou adding to the mix, Wu Lihong felt his head swelling. How did things turn out like this?
"Mei Niang, what exactly do you want? Canât you think about me for a moment? You werenât like this before, how have you changed?" Wu Lihong softened his voice, trying to coax her, and said, "We used to be so in love, have you forgotten?"
Madam Zhou lowered her eyes: "People change. Long ago, when you left without looking back, life had already changed me!"
"But havenât I come back? What more do you want from me? I said I would make you a second wife, is that still not enough? One shouldnât be too greedy!" Wu Lihong said with a livid face, "Usually when youâre greedy, it all ends in vain..."
"Thatâs why Iâm not greedy!" Madam Zhou interrupted him, looked at him, and said, "I donât want anything anymore, I donât seek your love or status, I just want peace, for my children to grow up safely, for a joyful and tranquil life for the rest of my days."
Wu Lihong looked at her with a chilling gaze.
"I just ask that you never come again, pretend we never reunited, just like when you left fifteen years ago and never appeared again. Can we part peacefully?"
"You think Iâm being obstinate, so youâre asking me to let you go?" Wu Lihong squeezed out through his teeth, "Then was your attitude before all an act? You even made me give up everything to stay with you, how could you change so suddenly?"
"I was too naive!"
"Youâre not naive, youâre just being suppressed by Wufu, that disobedient girl. Iâll go find her!" Wu Lihong stormed out.
"Do you really not know what Madam Wang has been doing behind the scenes?" Madam Zhou suddenly said.
Wu Lihong was taken aback, turned around, and looked at her intently: "What do you mean?"
"Madam Wang once hired someone to kill me and my daughter. Tell me, why should I go into your house? Iâm just a weak woman, not a cat with nine lives." Madam Zhou sneered, "I just want to live peacefully, I donât want to be quietly killed by someone! Iâm scared!"
"Youâre lying!"
"Letâs assume Iâm lying! My words end here. The two of us, letâs return to our original places, you live your life, I live mine, and all will be well. But if you continue to pester, Wufu wonât let you off!" Madam Zhou said earnestly.
Wu Lihong looked at her in shock.
"Youâve forgotten, you once wrote me a marriage certificate, a valid marriage certificate. If itâs made public, whatâs going to happen to you? That marriage certificate is now with Wufu!"
Wu Lihong shuddered, eyes wide with fear: "Marriage certificate?"
He forgot, yes, he had already forgotten that he had written it, with all kinds of witnesses!
"You gave it to that girl?" Wu Lihongâs back was drenched with cold sweat, a chill ran through him, his throat dry and rough, he growled, "How could you give that to her? Get it back, get it back quickly!"
"I canât get it back. What she wants to do, as her mother, I canât stop her." Madam Zhou shook her head, "I donât know what she intends to do, but you and I were once husband and wife, love remains after a hundred nights, not to mention we have two children together. We could part amicably, and I might be able to persuade her slightly, but if you insist on coming to pester us, I canât stop her."
"Are you trying to get me killed?" Wu Lihong suddenly rushed forward, grabbing Madam Zhouâs arm. It was a huge threat.
"Let go of my mother!" A sharp voice came from behind.
