Chapter 417 - The Truth Everyone Has Always Wanted
"Boss, don't do it. She has the gun. She might hurt madam's mother if you try to force your way," Guangzhou said as he held Yifeng by the hand, preventing him from getting closer.
"She might not dare to do it because of her love for you but not me. I hate this woman's guts. I hate everything that has to do with her. She has taken so many things away from me and I can't believe that her sl*tty daughter dared to do the same thing the mother did to me to my daughter too," Mrs Zhao said angrily as she swiftly snatched the loaded gun from Zhao Liying.
"She's a homewrecker and her daughter turns out to be the same, so she is to be blamed for not training her daughter properly. If she had instilled good morals in her daughter, my Liying wouldn't have had to go through the same thing I went through in the hands of the man she loves.," Mrs Zhao vented her anger out by slapping Mrs Yang hard on the face while pointing the gun at her head with her other free hand.
"Why didn't you die back then when you jumped into that river? Why did you have to come back and ruin my once perfect life?" Mrs Zhao hit Mrs Yang Yang right on the same spot.
."I can't tolerate this anymore. This has to stop. I can't watch them treat my mother-in-law like this," Yifeng said as he brushed Guangzhou's hand away.
Before he could reach them, the sound of a gunshot filled the room. It happened too soon for him to fathom what had happened. It was when he raised his gaze to stare at Mrs Yang that he saw her fall with the chair.
"This can't be happening," Yifeng said as he rushed forward to assist Mrs Yang. Guangzhou hurriedly grabbed hold of Mrs Zhao. He seized the gun from her and subdued her effortlessly.
The once previously angry Zhao Liying was shocked to see the middle-aged lady covered in her pool of blood. She was mad at Yang Zi, her mum and everyone but she never thought that her mum would shoot the lady the time she did and especially in front of Yifeng.
"Auntie, I am sorry I arrived late," Yifeng, who had just finished untying her, said as he let her lean on him while he sat at her back to support her body weight.
"Auntie, I will take you to the hospital now. You will be alright. I will make sure of that," Yifeng tried to assure the woman who had lost a lot of blood within the space of two minutes. Seeing the woman turn pale so quickly made his heartache. Mrs Yang wanted to speak to Yifeng but before she could speak, she vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Auntie, please don't speak...," They all heard a commotion outside before he could complete his sentence.
"Zi Er! This is bad! This place will be bathed in bloodshed when she gets in here," Mrs Yang said as she shifted her gaze from the entrance to Yifeng's face.
"Feng, promise me that no matter what happens, you won't tell her that those mother and daughter were the ones who put me in this state," Mrs Yang said as she grabbed Yifeng's hands.
"Aunt, what are you saying? I can't promise you such a thing. It will be unfair to Zi Er if we conceal the truth from her. She deserves to know the truth Aunt so...,"
"Feng, you know how irrational Zi Er can be. If she ever learns that I got shot by these two she is willing to go to hell and come back just to avenge my death. She won't care about the consequences. Her mind would never think of how her little sister Mi Er will cope if she goes to jail or gets killed in the course of avenging my death so please promise me," Mrs Yang, whose life was barely hanging on a thin line said as she stared at Yifeng with her pleading eyes.
"Auntie, stop talking too much because I am going to take you to the hospital. I am sure you will be fine after the best doctors operate on you," Yifeng said as he tried to hide his sadness. He was barely holding back the tears attempting to fall so that he wouldn't make her worried.
"Feng, I know and understand Zi Er's temperament more than anyone else in this world does. That naughty girl gives her all when she loves. As selfless as she loves, that is the same manner she will go all out to take revenge. She did the same with her sister's murders so I am sure you know...," Mrs Yang coughed out another mouthful of blood before she could complete her sentence. After she threw up the blood, her condition deteriorated.
"Aunt, I have told you not to say any more words. Zi Er will kill me if she learns that I did not take good care of you so for Zi Er and Mi Er's sake, hold on a bit more...,"
"Feng, I don't have much time left so promise me you will conceal the truth of what happened today from Zi Er. That poor girl's life has been filled with nothing but endless pain so my only wish for her is to live a happy and fulfilled life for the rest of her life. If possible I don't want to ever see her shed a tear so you must promise me this one thing. I will only be at peace if you do this," Mrs Yang said as she tried to keep her heavy eyes open for a few more minutes.
"If that will make you stop talking, then I promise to keep the secrets from Zi Er until you are ready to reveal the truth to her after you have gotten better," Yifeng said as he gently held Mrs Yang and tried to lift her off the dirty floor.
