Chapter 913: Chapter 144: Tang Yige, Are You a Cold-Blooded Animal? (Part 2) [Second Update]

"And her neck, her body, her legs, she’s covered in wounds. Your sister has suffered all kinds of hardship these past few months. I believe she really has woken up this time. Just give your sister one more chance."

As Zhou Xueran spoke, she let go of Tang Ruan’s hand, got up and walked to stand in front of Tang Yige, gripping Tang Yige’s hand tightly, pleading, "Yige, just take it as Mom begging you, okay? Don’t let the police take your sister away.

Your dad only spent a few days at the station last time, and he came out a completely different person, thinner.

I don’t dare imagine, if your sister actually goes to jail for the crime of abducting a child, will she ever be able to come out again?"

Tang Yige said nothing, her face hard and cold, her attitude forceful.

She brought all of this on herself!

Every time she thinks of how Tang Ruan cut open her belly and snatched away her seven-month-old baby, she can’t control the hate, the rage!

Tang Yige has never hated anyone this much.

And the person she hates is actually her own biological sister, how ironic!

"Yige, Yige, Mom is begging you, Mom will kneel down and beg you!"

Seeing that Tang Yige wouldn’t relent, Zhou Xueran really did drop to her knees in front of Tang Yige.

"Mom."

Tang Yige’s pupils trembled in shock. She squatted down in a hurry, grabbing Zhou Xueran’s arms, trying to pull her up.

But Zhou Xueran had steeled herself: unless Tang Yige agreed to let Tang Ruan off, she simply would not get up.

"Yige, Mom is begging you, forgive your sister just this once. Mom is begging you, Yige. Mom will kowtow to you, I’ll kowtow to you."

As Zhou Xueran spoke, she slammed her head hard against the floor.

"Mom, don’t, Mom, don’t!" Tang Ruan cried bitterly in pain.

"Mom, are you trying to force me to death!"

Tang Yige snapped, letting go of Zhou Xueran’s hands, getting to her feet and backing away. She could no longer hold back her tears; they streamed down uncontrollably. "Mom, how do you expect me to forgive Tang Ruan? How am I supposed to forgive her?

She plotted against her own older sister; when I was seven months pregnant she forcibly cut open my belly and stole my child. And that wasn’t enough—she spread rumors and had me locked in a mental hospital, and just recently she almost got my child killed!

These things didn’t happen to you, so you don’t feel the pain, you don’t feel the hatred! ’Forgive’—how easily those two words come out of your mouths! But I can’t, I can’t! I’m not capable of it!"

"Yige..."

Looking at the grief and fury twisting Tang Yige’s face, Zhou Xueran’s heart ached so much she could hardly bear it. She clutched at her own chest and cried until she lost her voice.

How could she not know the pain in her heart, the bitterness in her heart.

She was a mother too—how could she not understand the despair and agony of having your child taken away.

But Tang Ruan was also her child.

She couldn’t just stand by and do nothing about her own child.

"Mom, get up, please get up. I don’t want you to beg Sis, I don’t want you to beg her like this. Get up, please." Tang Ruan’s face was streaked with tears, her voice hoarse and tragic.

Zhou Xueran had her back to Tang Ruan; she only looked at Tang Yige with desperate earnestness.

Tang Yige shook her head. "I will never forgive her, absolutely never!"

"Ugh..." Zhou Xueran collapsed against the floor, sobbing.

"Mom..." Tang Ruan was also crying in Tang Yuwen’s arms so hard she could barely breathe.

Tang Yuwen’s whole body was shaking. His eyes, bloodshot red, fixed on Tang Yige. "Tang Yige, are you determined to tear this family apart and destroy us before you’ll be satisfied? Look at them, they are the closest people you have in this world! Everyone makes mistakes; knowing you’re wrong and changing is what matters. Your sister already knows she was wrong, so why can’t you give her a chance to turn over a new leaf? Are you really this cruel?"

If it were Zhou Xueran, Tang Yige might still explain a few words, pour out a bit of what she felt.

But when it came to Tang Yuwen, she really had nothing she wanted to say.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Tang Yige’s mouth as she stared at Tang Ruan, weak and leaning against Tang Yuwen’s chest.

Tang Yuwen and Zhou Xueran hadn’t noticed, but she had seen everything clearly.

Just now, Tang Ruan had obviously thrown herself off the sofa on purpose.

Even if she smashed her own head into pieces right now, Tang Yige wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of compassion for her.

Someone like her, still scheming even at this point—how could she possibly have truly realized her mistakes and repented!?

As for all those things she’d said, Tang Yige didn’t believe a single punctuation mark.

"Tang Yige, if you still see this as your home, then don’t let the police take your sister away. Do you have any idea how serious the crime of child abduction is? If your sister goes to prison for this, doing time is the least of it—I’m afraid she’ll be tortured to death by the people in there." Every word from Tang Yuwen was firm and forceful.

But to Tang Yige, it was as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

All she knew was that she would never let Tang Ruan off.

If she gave in to Tang Yuwen’s and Zhou Xueran’s pleas right now and forgave Tang Ruan, the first person she would be letting down would be Little Rui!

She hadn’t forgotten what kind of life Little Rui had lived during those five years in France.

She had cruelly stolen her child, and yet she hadn’t even treated him well.

On this point alone, Tang Yige would never, ever forgive her!

Because Tang Yige insisted, the police came and took Tang Ruan away in handcuffs.

Standing at the door of the Tang Family home, Tang Yige watched with her own eyes as the police escorted Tang Ruan into the squad car.

Right before getting in, Tang Ruan turned back and glanced at her.

That look was indescribably cold and vicious.

Tang Yige narrowed her eyes, and the light shooting from them was just as sharp.

The police car carrying Tang Ruan drove off in front of Tang Yige, but she didn’t feel the slightest bit of relief or joy.

A policewoman in uniform walked up to Yige and said, "Miss Tang, we’ll need you to come with us as well to make a statement."

Tang Yige didn’t hesitate and nodded.

"This way."

The policewoman said.

Tang Yige pressed her lips together, turned back to glance at Tang Yuwen and Zhou Xueran standing by the door, dropped her gaze, then stepped forward and got into the police car.

As she watched the police car drive away, Zhou Xueran covered her mouth and burst into sobs again.

"What are you crying for? It’s all your fault for giving birth to such wonderful daughters!"

As if scolding her wasn’t enough, Tang Yuwen turned around and raised his hand to slap Zhou Xueran across the face.

"Ah, wuu..." Zhou Xueran clutched her face, trembling as she backed away, tears in her eyes as she looked at Tang Yuwen in fear.

The way Tang Yuwen looked at Zhou Xueran was as if he were staring at a mortal enemy. He jabbed a finger at her viciously and said, "How the hell did I end up marrying such a useless woman like you! Look at what you’ve turned our two daughters into! The elder daughter is heartless and ungrateful, the younger one has done every bad thing under the sun. Now the younger one has been reported to the police by her own big sister and dragged into the station. My face—Tang Yuwen’s face—has been completely lost because of you lot! This family is done, ruined! And all of it is because of you. You’re useless..."

As he spoke, Tang Yuwen moved toward Zhou Xueran again, as if about to strike her.

"Ah..." Terrified, Zhou Xueran shrank back into the corner of the wall, tears falling nonstop as she pleaded with Tang Yuwen, "It’s all my fault, don’t hit me, if... if people see, it’ll be bad for you."

"Hmph! Things are already bad for me! If I can’t live well, none of you get to live well either!" Tang Yuwen threw out this extreme, vicious line, then suddenly turned around, went through the iron gate, and directly slammed it shut and locked it.

Zhou Xueran hugged her own arms, shivering, her head lowered as she sobbed in desolation.

She didn’t know how long she stayed like that before she slowly straightened up, walked to the digital lock, and pressed in the code.

But when she entered the code, the lock indicated the password was incorrect.

Zhou Xueran’s heart tightened. She quickly tapped it in twice more in a row, and each time it said the password was incorrect.

Zhou Xueran’s head swam, and she lifted her face toward the security camera in panic, her eyes red to the extreme.

Tang Yuwen!

You’re really this cruel...

To say Zhou Xueran was in utter, bone-deep grief at this moment wouldn’t be an exaggeration at all.

Tang Ruan had been abused out there, and only came back because she couldn’t survive it anymore.

Now she’d been reported to the police by her own big sister and dragged into the station, her future bleak and uncertain.

And Yige?

She probably never wanted to acknowledge a mother like her again.

Now even the husband she’d lived with for decades had kicked her out of their home.

Zhou Xueran, oh Zhou Xueran, how could you let yourself become this pathetic?

How do you still have the face... to live!?

Zhou Xueran closed her eyes and let out a bleak, bitter laugh.

Fine, fine.

...

However, before Tang Ruan could be taken to the station, she suddenly started foaming at the mouth and lost consciousness in the squad car, so the police diverted her to Linx Hospital instead. Tang Yige had no choice but to follow to the hospital.

Based on Tang Ruan’s condition, the doctor analyzed that the coma and vomiting were likely caused by a severe blow to the head leading to a concussion. On top of that, she’d lost a lot of blood from the head and had wounds of all sizes all over her body, some already festering and infected. Forcing her straight into the station in that state would be very dangerous.

And the result of the doctor saying this was that Tang Ruan needed to be kept in the hospital for observation.

Watching her being wheeled into a private ward, Tang Yige’s brows furrowed tightly.

After that, Tang Yige cooperated fully with the policewoman to complete a detailed statement.

She had thought that once she finished giving her statement, she’d be able to leave.

But when the policewoman checked with her superior, the answer she got was that Yige couldn’t go.

"Why?" Tang Yige didn’t understand.
