315 Cursed
There were only a few people in Liu Guisheng’s family. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue could immediately tell that she was Liu Guisheng’s daughter-in-law with one glance.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan entered the central room calmly. There was a door on each side of the central room, each leading to a room. Grandma Liu lived in the room on the left. At this moment, Liu Guixia, Liu Guisheng, Liu Guisheng’s wife, and son were all in this room.
They were also in front of the bed in this room.
Grandma Liu was lying on the bed. Grandma Liu clutched her chest with one hand, trying her best to act as if she couldn’t breathe, as if she was about to die.
Her meek and swallowed breaths were overly exaggerated to ensure that Liu Guixia would fall for the whole scheme.
As soon as Jiang Yue and Xue Yan entered the room, they saw Liu Guixia kneeling in front of the bed and holding Grandma Liu’s other hand tightly. Her face was covered in tears, “Mother, Mother, are you feeling any better?”
“If she was in this state, why didn’t you call a doctor?!” She cried and scolded Liu Guisheng.
Liu Guisheng also knelt there and cried, as if he was convinced that Grandma Liu was dying. “I did, but the doctor said he didn’t know what was going on, but he was afraid it would be too late, so he suggested that I prepare a coffin and said to prepare for the worst. I’m sorry!” Ultimately, he cried so much that the bed started to get wet.
When Liu Guisheng’s wife saw this, she wailed and fell to the ground. Liu Guisheng’s son did the same.
In a short while, the entire house was filled with wails and sobs.
Grandma Liu continued to pretend to speak meekly, “W-why was I cursed? I still have many years to live… I… I don’t want to go… Guixia… Are you there? I-I’m scared!” Grandma Liu shouted as if she couldn’t hold her breath any longer. She had reached this point of convincing, she had to see it through!
“Mother!” Liu Guixia held her mother’s hand tightly and hurriedly agreed. She was afraid that her mother didn’t hear her and kept saying, “I’m here, I’m here, mother.”
“I’m sorry… Guixia… For everything…”
After hearing Grandma Liu’s words, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could tell that she had finally entered the main topic.
“It’s because of me!” Grandma Liu pretended to take two deep breaths to make herself look like she was suffering.
However, Liu Guixia was frightened. “Please… save your breath! I don’t care about what happened in the past… Focus on your breathing now!”
Grandma Liu was pleased with herself, but on the surface, she still put on an act as if she was about to die. “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault, it’s because Guisheng listened to me too much, that’s why he treated you like that. D-don’t blame him… If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
“Mother, please…” Liu Guixia cried and kept shaking her head. She wanted to make her mother feel better and leave in peace. “I don’t blame anyone.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Guisheng and the others were secretly happy.
Liu Guisheng even secretly looked at his wife and son, his eyes full of joy.
Little did he know that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had seen it.
How could such a little trick escape their eyes?
“I’m going to die…” Grandma Liu said out loud as she thought to herself, ‘You’re the one that will die, wrench!’
“No… Please no…” Liu Guixia kept shaking her head. “You won’t! You’ll live for a hundred years… Don’t go…”
Of course, Liu Guixia said all this to comfort her mother. She really thought that her mother was going to die. She didn’t know that Grandma Liu was only pretending.
“Y-you only have one brother… When I die… you and Guisheng must live well…”
