Jiang Tingxia showed a conflicted look on her face. She knew that just because she had occupied Jiang Tinghe's identity as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family for sixteen years, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of the Jiang family.

She also didn't want to go against her grandfather's wishes and expose Jiang Tinghe's identity, but she had no way out.

"It was a deal. I found a way out for Jiang Hai's child, and you signed the certificate of severing ties. Do you want to go back on your word?"

Li Xiu saw Jiang Tingxia's determination. She not only had to consider Jiang Tinghe, but also Jiang Hai. If Jiang Tingxia didn't help, given the current chaos in the Jiang family, they wouldn't be able to take good care of Jiang Hai's bloodline.

Li Xiu took a deep breath and said, "We can sever the relationship."

"It's just that you and Xiao He's life story cannot be told. For the sake of my daughter, I will never admit it. Don't even think about it."

Li Xiu said sarcastically, "If you really want to sever ties with the Jiang family, you can put an advertisement saying that the former eldest daughter of the Jiang family, after getting married, heard that her family was in trouble, and in order to be a military officer's wife, she decided to cut off all ties with her family and sever ties."

"Isn't this what you are forcing yourself to do now?"

"Saving Xiao He will mean you are doing your grandfather a favor."

How could Jiang Tingxia agree to Li Xiu's words? If her and Jiang Tinghe's life stories were exposed, then it could be said that she broke off relations with the Jiang family for a reason. But if she was still the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, then this statement of severing ties would be a slap in her face.

"I disagree."

Li Xiu took the letter written by Jiang Tingxia about the mystery of her and Jiang Tinghe's life stories and tore it up in two or three strokes. "You must agree."

Neither of them wanted to give way, and at this time there was a hurried knock on the door.

Jiang Tingxia went to open the door. The person outside was Mo Yunyang. He reeked of alcohol and spoke in a hurried tone.

"Ting Xia, I was drinking with your elder brother just now, and your elder brother was taken away by the police."

"I'm here to give you some news."

When Jiang Tingxia heard what Mo Yunyang said, she thought that it seemed that the matter had been traced back to Jiang Hai.

Li Xiu, who was in the room, just walked to the door when she heard these words, her whole body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Jiang Tinghe screamed and went to help Li Xiu. Just as Mo Yunyang delivered the news, a dozen strong men came to the Jiang family, holding sealing strips and wanted to seal the Jiang family's house.

Everyone knew what Jiang Hai had done and no one dared to stop them. However, it was already night time, and Jiang Tingxia had to persuade them and give them some money before the group agreed to let them stay for another night.

After seeing Mo Yunyang off and looking at the sealed items in the Jiang family, Jiang Tingxia felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention Li Xiu.

……

The next morning, Li Xiu combed her hair, drew her eyebrows, and dressed as usual. She did not look shabby at all. After having breakfast early, she said she wanted to go into the house to pack some things and asked Jiang Tinghe to come in and help her.

Jiang Tingxia blocked their way and wrote another copy of the certificate that Li Xiu had torn up yesterday. "I hope you can sign it to clarify my background."

Li Xiu looked at Jiang Tingxia with a look of complete hostility, "You are forcing me."

Jiang Tingxia lowered her head slightly, stretched out her hand, and insisted that Li Xiu take the certificate of severance of relationship in her hand.

Li Xiu took the letter from Jiang Tingxia's hand without saying anything, and took Jiang Tinghe into the house.

Jiang Hai was arrested, and Li Xiu and her daughter were about to be kicked out of the house again. Jiang Tingxia didn't want to pursue the issue of severing ties, so she sat downstairs quietly.

Li Xiu pulled Jiang Tinghe to sit down, his frown showing a bit of pain.

"Your eldest brother's life is in danger."

Speaking of Jiang Hai, Jiang Tinghe looked irritated and kept stamping her feet. "It's all his fault. He caused all the trouble and sealed up our house. Jiang Tingxia is trying to tell people that I'm the Jiang family's biological daughter. If my eldest brother is sentenced, I'll be implicated as his sister and might even be sent down to the village. Mom, what can I do? I don't want to live the way I used to."

Seeing Jiang Tinghe getting anxious, Li Xiu started crying too, "Xiaohe, don't be afraid, mom will help you."

"I will never let Jiang Tingxia harm you."

Li Xiu comforted Jiang Tinghe for a while and asked Jiang Tinghe to go out first.

Jiang Tinghe closed the door and went back to the room to pack her luggage.

Li Xiu looked at Jiang Tinghe's leaving back and sat on the bed for a while, thinking that she had been competitive all her life, but in the end she had lost everything and was kicked out of the house like a stray dog. Jiang Hai's affairs would surely be reported in the newspapers in a couple of days. By then, she would not be able to face people and would be spat on when she went out.

What she loved most was her children, but now, her son was dying and her daughter's life was ruined by her. Her life was a complete failure.

It would be better to leave in a dignified manner so that you can help your daughter in the end.

Li Xiu stepped on a stool and threw a piece of silk onto the beam...

……

Jiang Tingxia was sitting downstairs when she suddenly heard Jiang Tinghe's scream. The scream was so desperate and shrill that it made people shudder.

Jiang Tingxia hurried upstairs and saw Jiang Tinghe sitting on the ground and screaming in fear outside Li Xiu's room.

Jiang Tingxia walked over and saw Li Xiu hanging from the beam in the wide-open door, with her eyes tightly closed, and she was already dead...

Jiang Tingxia's eyes were wide open but empty, with big tears constantly flowing out of them. Her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't make a sound.

"Mother……"

……

Li Xiu was let down from the beam, Jiang Tinghe hugged her and cried bitterly. Jiang Tingxia was also frightened and just when he was about to take a step forward, he was pushed away by Jiang Tinghe and almost fell to the ground.

"Get away and don't touch mom."

Jiang Tinghe's eyes widened with anger. "You don't have to pretend. It was you who forced my mother to death. I will never forgive you in my life."

Jiang Tingxia thought of the certificate of severance she had given to Li Xiu just now. She looked at herself and said, "You are forcing me."

Jiang Tingxia's legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. His face was as pale as a dead person. He could only stand by holding on to the wall.

Her excuse was feeble and feeble, "No, it's not me..."

Jiang Tinghe held the body of Li Xiu, which was gradually losing its temperature, in her arms. Only then did she understand what Li Xiu meant when she pulled her aside and said that she would not let Jiang Tingxia harm her.

She is fighting Jiang Tingxia with her own life.

She took out the suicide note written by Li Xiu and showed it to Jiang Tingxia, "Take a good look at it yourself and understand why your mother is so depressed."

"Jiang Tingxia! It's all your fault!"

Jiang Tingxia's tears rolled down, and through tearful eyes she read the contents of the suicide note in Jiang Tinghe's hand.

In Li Xiu's room, the waste paper of the certificate of severance of relationship written by Jiang Tingxia had been torn into pieces by Li Xiu and thrown on the ground. She rewrote a letter, cursing Jiang Tingxia for being heartless. When the Jiang family was in trouble, she was so cruel as to sever ties with her family, abandon her family, and even went to her biological mother's house to force her to leave. This made Li Xiu extremely sad and she committed suicide in despair.
