I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 74 - 73: Song Yuanhuan Appears

Xu Xiuxiu had learned from Song Yuanhuan that Lu Xiangxiang had powerful backing, her entire family being high-ranking officials of the third generation, so Xu Xiuxiu had told herself to tolerate Lu Xiangxiang if possible, and if not, to ignore her completely, treating her like a clown and not stoop to petty verbal advantages.

Lu Xiangxiang, with her foolish behavior, shouldn’t have been able to topple Song Yuanhuan, a man as unattainable as a cold, lofty mountain.

Furthermore, Yan Moli’s words today had also served as a reminder. Any small disturbance could disadvantage Song Yuanhuan’s promotion, yet Lu Xiangxiang still managed to provoke her into losing her temper and being physical. Given that, she wasn’t planning on being polite either. Facing a woman who was as crazy as a bird trying to take over a dove’s nest, Xu Xiuxiu thought getting physical was the best response she could give.

"Xu Xiuxiu, how dare you hit me?" Lu Xiangxiang looked at Xu Xiuxiu frenziedly, her gaze as if she were looking at a corpse. Lu Xiangxiang, who had been spoiled by her parents since childhood, had never tasted failure. Her first failure came at the hands of Xu He Ping, who had crushed her pride underfoot, turning her into a laughingstock of the military unit. Although she eventually got back at Xu He Ping, she still felt deeply unsatisfied.

Her second failure was with Song Yuanhuan. Knowing he was married had disappointed her, and she had reminded herself to give up, yet in the quiet of the night, she would always remember how he, tall and handsome, had watched her dancing performance from his seat, praising her genuinely. From the moment he praised her, she resolved to have him.

Thus, she pretended not to know about his marriage, approached him without letting on that she knew anything, only to get close to him. She knew that such a capable man would certainly be proud, so she let go of her pride, her dignity, and even attempted to lure him with her family’s status. She assumed Song Yuanhuan would be tempted, after all, marrying her would mean a smooth sailing in his career because having connections in the military was crucial, a fact Song Yuanhuan was well aware of.

She had also heard about Song Yuanhuan’s rural wife, purportedly a foolish and selfish woman. Such a plain woman did not deserve Song Yuanhuan’s lifelong commitment or match his excellence. She felt indignant on his behalf and tried her best to please him. Just as she mustered the courage to confess her feelings to him, Xu Xiuxiu appeared.

Visiting the military base as Song Yuanhuan’s wife, she appeared confidently beautiful, a direct slap to her face, trampling over her feelings of warmth. This made her feel inferior and sad, and she thought of giving up. Yet the thought of giving up caused her heartache that made it hard to breathe, forcing her to return home and confide her sadness to her mother, Zhou Jiaki. Her mother simply told her, "A woman’s status defines her everything."

Even to convince her weeping self, her mother disclosed that her father, Lu Jianhang, had also had a wife before marrying her mother, but ultimately, he abandoned that woman for her mother.

If her parents could do so, then as long as she wanted, she, Lu Xiangxiang, could have any man she desired, including Song Yuanhuan. Especially since the military was a place that valued connections, as long as Song Yuanhuan wanted to stay a day longer in the military, he had to consider the Lu Family and Zhou Family backing Lu Xiangxiang, whether he liked it or not. She was unwavering in this belief.

"Hit you? Yes, I hit you, you shameless woman!" Xu Xiuxiu, infuriated, took the opportunity of Lu Xiangxiang’s dumbfounded state to grab her. Then she saw Lu Xiangxiang, while trying to fend off Xu Xiuxiu using both her hands and feet, clutching Song Chengguang’s neck to escape Xu Xiuxiu’s grasp.

"Xu Xiuxiu, you wait, I will not let you off easily," uttered Lu Xiangxiang as she disregarded being ignored by Xu Xiuxiu, muttering threats while comically shedding tears of anger.

"Just try," Xu Xiuxiu snapped back, fully determined and not at all intimidated by her threats.

Xu Xiuxiu felt that women like Lu Xiangxiang were simply insane, and reasoning with them was a waste of breath. These people inherently held different worldviews, stubbornly clinging to their beliefs as if what they thought was certainly right, so there was no point in trying to persuade them, because Xu Xiuxiu believed she had no other option but violence. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Bitch, Xu Xiuxiu, you bitch." Lu Xiangxiang shouted in fury, suddenly lunging at Xu Xiuxiu with her claws outstretched, aiming directly for Xu Xiuxiu’s face. Realizing the danger, Xu Xiuxiu cursed the mad-dog ferocity that now frightened her, but immediately wrapped her arms around Song Chengguang and turned to run out the door.

However, Lu Xiangxiang recklessly rushed forward and grabbed a handful of Xu Xiuxiu’s long hair, yanking it viciously backward, ripping out a large clump. The pain caused Xu Xiuxiu’s body to instinctively fall back, but Lu Xiangxiang succeeded in grabbing another chunk of her hair, shamelessly attempting to scratch at Xu Xiuxiu’s cheek with her nails.

"Evil woman, let go of Aunt Xiu Xiu!" At this moment, Zhao Nan, who had been fiddling with his food, also abandoned it, rushing unreservedly to help Xu Xiuxiu. Though young, the punches he threw at Lu Xiangxiang were not held back.

After taking a few punches, Lu Xiangxiang grew furious and, without thinking, lifted her foot to kick Zhao Nan away. Xu Xiuxiu’s heart leapt into her throat.

"Lu Xiangxiang, you dare." Suddenly, a towering figure appeared at the doorway, scooping up Zhao Nan’s body and bellowing, while his other hand firmly restrained Lu Xiangxiang’s wildly flailing right hand, his gaze fiercely and bloodthirstily fixed on her.

The scene instantly quieted down.

"Song Yuanhuan..." Lu Xiangxiang dumbly looked at the newcomer, and after a moment, she managed to utter Song Yuanhuan’s name. Her expression was as if she had seen a ghost, yet in the next moment, it shifted to a sorrowful aggrievance.

Song Yuanhuan’s eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth. It took a long while before he finally shifted his gaze from Lu Xiangxiang, looking caringly at Xu Xiuxiu who was embracing Song Chengguang with a slightly disheveled appearance after a few hits from Lu Xiangxiang. Seeing the egg-white-like cheeks of Xu Xiuxiu marked with two scratches from fingernails, he felt as if he had been shot.

Lu Xiangxiang, how dare she!

"Wow... Mom." Song Yuanhuan’s son also began to cry woefully in Xu Xiuxiu’s arms, trembling with fear. Hearing this, Xu Xiuxiu instinctively soothed, "Chengguang, honey, don’t cry." As Xu Xiuxiu comforted Song Chengguang, she anxiously turned her gaze to Zhao Nan tucked in Song Yuanhuan’s armpit, "Nannan, are you all right? Did she kick you?"

"No." Zhao Nan shook his head, somewhat dazed.

"Put him down quickly." Xu Xiuxiu said with lingering fear to Song Yuanhuan. Her heart, previously in suspense, now relaxed with Song Yuanhuan’s arrival. Thankfully, he had come back!
