Chapter Index

    Hearing Yellow-Haired Guy’s command.

    Several thugs exchanged glances, then mustered courage, gritted their teeth, and charged forward.

    Then…

    There was no ‘then’.

    In less than a minute, they all lay on the ground, groaning and twitching.

    The night market was already a crowded place.

    This scene left everyone in shock.

    Facing many opponents with so few and winning so cleanly was truly surprising.

    “Aunt Wang, are you okay?”

    Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruxu nervously jogged to Aunt Wang’s side.

    “No… I’m fine, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxue, you…”

    Aunt Wang’s eyes fell on their slightly swollen bellies, unsure of what to say.

    “Almost four months now.”

    Liu Ruxu said with a smile, then quickly asked, “Aunt Wang, when did you return? What’s with these thugs?”

    “I just got back recently. This isn’t a place to talk. Let me pack up my stall, we’ll chat at my house.”

    Aunt Wang sighed, her face full of worry, clearly concealing something.

    “Madam, what should we do with these guys?”

    A bodyguard stepped forward, pointing at Yellow-Haired Guy and the others.

    Yellow-Haired Guy’s face turned pale, his body frozen in place.

    “Just a bunch of pests, ignore them.”

    Liu Ruxu looked at Yellow-Haired Guy with disdain.

    “My lady has a kind heart and won’t bother with you. Get lost now!”

    The bodyguard glanced around, his tone icy.

    Hearing this, Yellow-Haired Guy and his crew shuddered and quickly scrambled away.

    “Aunt Wang, let’s go.”

    Liu Ruxue gently held Aunt Wang’s calloused hand.

    “You girls finally have good days ahead, I can rest assured.”

    Aunt Wang said, genuinely happy for them.

    After all, she watched these girls grow up.

    To say she treated them like half daughters isn’t an exaggeration.

    Seeing the sisters doing well, she felt happy for them.

    “Aunt Wang, we’ll call you ma’am too. Let’s help you pack up.”

    Yuxiu and Ye Ling exchanged looks, offering to help Aunt Wang.

    Though neither had done such work, it didn’t require professional skills.

    “No, no, no! These are greasy! What if you dirty your clothes?”

    Aunt Wang was startled, quickly stopping them.

    “It’s fine, not much stuff.”

    Ye Ling smiled, starting to pack the condiments.

    The bodyguards helped too.

    “Who are these young women?”

    Aunt Wang asked Liu Ruxu about Yuxiu and Ye Ling.

    “They’re my husband’s secretary and assistant.”

    Liu Ruxu replied.

    Aunt Wang’s face changed, thinking of the man keeping two pretty girls around.

    She wanted to warn Liu Ruxu but held back seeing her smile.

    Indeed, Xiaoxu was no child. She surely understood.

    She must have her own thoughts, no need to meddle in her life.

    After a while, with the stall packed, they headed to Aunt Wang’s community.

    They didn’t notice Yellow-Haired Guy’s gang hiding behind a car.

    “Xiao Wu, follow them and see where the old hag lives. Damn it, hit me and think you can leave? Dream on!”

    Yellow-Haired Guy clutched his aching belly, gritting his teeth.

    “Boss…I…”

    Xiao Wu hesitated, clearly afraid.

    “Go quick! After I enjoy those two pregnant ladies, they’re yours.”

    Yellow-Haired Guy slapped his head, staring at the women’s figures.

    “Damn, a bunch of bitches! I’ll have you all soon enough.”

    Xiao Wu’s eyes lit up: “Boss, you really mean it?”

    “Look at you, pathetic! Hurry, they’re leaving.”

    Yellow-Haired Guy kicked him.

    Xiao Wu quickly followed.

    “Call everyone, gather them all. Wait for Xiao Wu’s call. Damn, those two guys can fight, but let’s see how many they can take!”

    Yellow-Haired Guy said angrily, clenching his belly wound.

    “Boss, those women seem tough, there’s security. Maybe we should check first.”

    A cautious young man suggested timidly.

    “Slap!”

    Already fuming, Yellow-Haired Guy slapped him, yelling: “Coward! Doesn’t matter who she is, this night she’s mine!”

    “In Yunquan County, anyone must bow down to me!”

    Enduring the stinging slap, the young man stayed silent.

    ……

    Liu Ruxu and the others arrived at Aunt Wang’s community.

    “Aunt Wang, you still live here?”

    Liu Ruxue remarked.

    “Where else would I live? I’m used to it after so many years.”

    Aunt Wang smiled, leading them inside.

    Once in, Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruxu, recalling old memories, found Aunt Wang’s house easily.

    “Come in, I’ll get you some water.”

    Aunt Wang invited them in, grabbing glasses.

    “Aunt Wang, why did you leave without a word, even divorcing uncle? Xiaoxue and I looked for you.”

    Finally seated, Liu Ruxu couldn’t wait to ask.

    “Sigh~”

    Aunt Wang sighed, then began recounting past events in detail.

    “Back then, Xiaoqiang fell ill, needing costly treatment. Your uncle loved gambling, didn’t want to spend on treatment. In anger, I took Xiaoqiang home.”

    “What about Xiaoqiang and uncle?” Liu Ruxue interjected, guessing part of it.

    Xiaoqiang was Aunt Wang’s son and their childhood friend.

    Aunt Wang forced a smile, sadness clear: “Your uncle died in a car accident. Insurance covered Xiaoqiang’s treatment, but when money ran out, he passed too.”

    Silence fell over the room.
