The two chatted casually, and I was the one asking casual questions while Qin Luotian answered them attentively. I kept an eye on Ms. Lin and Cheng Xinyuan, ready to stop an angry Cheng Xinyuan at any time. Cheng Antai's family almost ruined my life, and they deserved to be beaten and killed, but not now, and not by Cheng Xinyuan who was in a violent state.

"I killed them!!!" Cheng Xinyuan roared like crazy. His anger was like a raging beast, roaring uncontrollably. Almost in an instant, he rushed out of the house. I stood up as fast as I could and blocked him. "Calm down! Not now!"

"How can I stay calm?!" Cheng Xinyuan stamped his feet and beat his chest. His eyes were red, veins on his neck were exposed, and his chest heaved rapidly, as if he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart that could explode at any time.

"I'm the victim! I can stay calm, so why can't you!" I shouted, "Can you be as angry as I am? I wanted to kill them on the spot this afternoon! But I won't. They will get their retribution instead of getting myself involved! The same goes for you!"

Cheng Xinyuan looked at me and burst into tears uncontrollably, painful sounds coming from his throat and tears gushing out like a spring, unable to stop.

"Cry, then you should be more rational and control your impulsive temper. You are already fifteen years old. You can see the price of growing up from me. I am not made of steel. You said you would protect me, right?" I hugged Cheng Xinyuan, and buried his head in my neck. His hair was a little prickly, and this posture was very uncomfortable. I patted his back and comforted him: "Look, you should have comforted me, but now I have to coax you. Cheng Xinyuan, you should be my brother in the future. I also want to experience the feeling of being protected..."

Cheng Xinyuan had his back to the store door. I hugged him and saw Ms. Lin in the room, her face pale and expressionless. "Not only do you have to grow up, but our mother too. From now on, the so-called ideal blueprints she drew will be completely shattered. If this matter still can't make her make a decision, then your sister's suffering for so many years is really in vain!"

Ms. Lin's heart has completely collapsed, like a collapsed building that can no longer be rebuilt. She is heartbroken and in pain. She hates Cheng Antai, Cheng Xingmin, and herself even more. When her daughter suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized during the college entrance examination, she, like Cheng Xingmin, blamed her daughter for failing at such an important moment. She could never have imagined that it was originally a murder by Cheng Antai's family... Cheng family, she has been disappointed countless times and tolerated countless times, but now she has realized that it is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. She has worked hard to create a complete home for her children, but now, is it still necessary?

Ms. Lin was completely in despair. I moved a chair and sat opposite her. "When I came out of Cheng Antai's house, I was thinking whether I should let you know and how you should know... I started to doubt it a long time ago. I am a cautious person. How could I eat anything on such an important day as the college entrance examination? The only variable is the orange juice he gave me every day. I have a good memory. I remember the doctor said that I was poisoned by solanine. Baidu said that sprouted potatoes have this toxin, but I just suspected it and had no evidence... I went there today, originally wanting to trick them to see if I could ask them something. As a result, you see, people really can't do bad things..." Ms. Lin's expression was ugly, ugly in the literal sense. I didn't know if she wanted to cry or laugh, and her facial features were a little distorted. She asked me, "Do you hate me?"

"I have hated you," I told her the truth, caressing her face with my hand, "but I love you more, and I feel sorry for you, Mom, it's time to wake up from this dream..."

Tears rolled down her cheeks, without sound, without words, only traces of pain and deep sorrow.

"What are you going to do? Is it too late to call the police now?" Qin Luotian stood behind me with a forbearing expression, his fists clenched, and all the muscles in his body tense. I looked outside the door and saw Cheng Xinyuan sitting on the steps, his back looking a little desolate.

"You know everything?" I looked up and asked him.

"Well..." He looked at me with eyes full of heartache, "No matter what you want to do, you have Dayuan and I..."

I smiled awkwardly, "It's been two years. What good will it do to call the police? Just relying on the case history and this recording? The chain of evidence is incomplete... Even if they are arrested, what will happen? How long will they be in jail? Can it make up for the damage I've suffered?" I held Ms. Lin's hand, my eyes stern, "After all, I have half Chengjia blood in my body. How they treat me, I will treat them the same way... When they hurt me, they didn't even consider that I was their relative. What do I have to worry about~"

"Does Cheng Xingmin know?" Cheng Xinyuan stood up from the steps and asked me in a deep voice, with tears still on his face, which made me feel pity for him.

"What difference does it make whether he knows or not? If he doesn't know, it means he is stupid and is being played around by his own brother. His brain is like rusted and he is being used as a gun. Even if I tell him about this, I don't believe he will break up with his own brother for me! If he knows, it will be even more hateful. He teamed up with his brother to murder his own daughter. Even if he didn't participate, he is unforgivable!"

"Mom, do you know why I asked you the question 'If my dad and I fell into the water, who would you save'? Because I'm not sure who is more important to you, him or me. Now I want to ask you again, you can only have one between your daughter and your husband, who do you want? You can only make a choice, but if you say anything thoughtful, I will leave immediately and will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

My expression was stern, with unquestionable majesty. I knew I was forcing Ms. Lin to make a choice. So what? If I didn't push her now, fate would force her in the countless years to come!

"I only want my children!" Ms. Lin wiped away her tears. Her tone was firm and powerful, and every word was full of power.

"Okay! Just one word from you is enough." I gave her a comforting hug. "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I will either kill them or skin them alive... I am not a kind person..."

"It's a dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson. I won't kill or burn anyone, but it's okay for me to go to Cheng Antai's house and cause some damage. Do you want to go with me and let your daughter vent her anger first?" I crossed my legs, crossed my arms over my chest, and waited leisurely for Ms. Lin's reply.

"Go!" Ms. Lin stood up from the stool in seconds and searched the store for anything useful.

"Sister! What do you want to do?" Cheng Xinyuan rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he saw Cheng Antai's family being humiliated. Qin Luotian also looked expectant, and his restless thoughts were ready to move.

I pointed at the table. The dark brown linen tabletop was calm and elegant. This color was mixed by Ms. Lin after she had consulted several paint factories. She had bought a lot of messy colors before. "Do we still have the paint we used to paint the table? Don't waste it. I see that the paint on Cheng Antai's front door has faded and it looks terrible. Pick out a few of the most eye-catching colors and go and fix it up~"

Cheng Xinyuan and Qin Luotian smiled evilly at the same time, "Understood!"

"Mom, we have a lot of waste bags at home, right?" I called out to Ms. Lin, who was still collecting things. I was desperate, what can a clothes rack do? "The last thing we lack is bags!" Ms. Lin said.

"Well, take some things you don't need on a daily basis, and go to the night market to collect some garbage..."

Ms. Lin's eyes lit up: "I know what you want to do! I'll go find it now!"

I smiled with satisfaction. We all understood each other quickly and cooperated very well!

Cheng Xinyuan and his friend went to the garage and picked up two buckets of paint that had been there for who knows how long. The color...well...it's hard to describe.

I frowned exaggeratedly: "With Ms. Lin's taste, how could she choose these two colors?" One is a gaudy rose red that can blind people, and the other is hard to describe, like the color of constipation for a long time...very disgusting...

"Oh, the color wasn't like this originally. It was okay at first. This rose red was given as a gift when you buy more. Otherwise, cheap things don't come out good. The color has changed after being stored for a long time. It's so suitable for their door~" Cheng Xinyuan said with a wicked smile.

"Yao Yuan happened to be at home, so I called him over. He had a lot of used oil paints, and it would be a waste if we didn't use them!" Qin Luotian said.

"Ah? Oil paint?" I felt distressed. "That must be very expensive. Don't let Yao Yuan take it. Keep it for your brother's oil painting. Cheng Antai's family's door is not suitable for it. I feel bad about spending so much paint!"

"I told you it's waste paint, mixed up in a mess, don't feel bad about it! Besides, oil paint is even harder to clean~" Qin Luotian explained.

"Alright! When will Yao Yuan come? Let's wait for him for a while. If not, call Ding Yi Bo as well. There's strength in numbers!" Although I was going to do a "bad thing", I was open-minded and not afraid of more people knowing it. I have thought it through. Cheng Antai, the perpetrator, doesn't feel so guilty. So what should I be afraid of as a victim? It's not shameful!

"I called Bozi, he is at his uncle's house in the neighboring city. Isn't he going to Guangzhou soon? He should get closer to his family..." Qin Luotian's voice became lower and lower, "They are all uncles. Bozi's uncle is a very good person. He treats Bozi like his own son. You guys..."

"He is no longer my uncle!" Cheng Xinyuan said without hesitation, "He is not worthy! True feelings are not determined by blood ties..."

"I'm sorry, Luo Tian, ​​I let you see my ugly side on the first day you came to live in our house..." I said apologetically.

"I told you not to treat me as an outsider!" Qin Luotian looked at Cheng Xinyuan, "I've known your relatives before... We all know about your college entrance examination. Every time Dayuan talks about you, he feels proud and distressed..."

"I was wondering why grandma's attitude towards you was so different at that time. I thought she had a sudden change of heart and changed for the better. I didn't expect it was because of Cheng Antai's incident!" Cheng Xinyuan squatted on the ground and said angrily.

I didn't say anything. Before she left, grandma kept apologizing to me, but she did it for Cheng Xingmin and didn't mention Cheng Antai. The three brothers of the Cheng family were truly filial to their mother. Everything grandma said and did touched their hearts. I mentioned these things in front of Cheng Antai just to "kill her and destroy her heart". I knew clearly in my heart that grandma would not apologize to me for no reason. The reason for her change of attitude towards me is still a mystery, and the answer must be found in Cheng Xingmin.
