Fang Yuxin’s words stunned the middle-aged woman. Normally, she dealt with ordinary people and was extremely cautious around anyone of even minor importance, never daring to speak much. How could she have ever encountered an attitude like Fang Yuxin’s?
Fang Yuxin’s icy gaze swept over her, sending a chill throughout her body and a strong sense of impending doom.
Then, she suddenly saw Li Qingyun, who had her back to her. Looking at her daughter, she found some courage and whispered to Li Qingyun, "Qingyun! Say something! I am your mother!" She wanted to say how could your friend treat me , but under Fang Yuxin’s icy stare, she dared not voice it out!
However, Li Qingyun ignored her, instead wiping away the tears on her face, blinked to suppress her sadness, then quickly stepped back to increase the distance from Fang Yuxin and apologetically smiled, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now and caused you embarrassment."
Fang Yuxin naturally didn’t mind these things. She glanced at the middle-aged woman and other onlookers in the living room, then said to Li Qingyun, "I have some things to ask you. Is there a private place we can talk?"
Li Qingyun nodded slightly, ignoring the people behind her, and only said to Fang Yuxin, "Let’s go outside to talk."
As soon as she said this, the middle-aged woman screamed, "Qingyun! What time do you think it is! Where do you want to go?" After speaking, she looked warily at Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, fearful that they would take Li Qingyun away.
She felt a strong sense of panic inside, telling her not to let Li Qingyun go with these two or she would never come back! This family still relied on her, especially since she had found a good marriage arrangement for Li Qingyun, with a not insignificant bride price offered!
Securing this marriage would ensure their carefree life in the Safe Zone thanks to the status of the other party!
Therefore, she absolutely couldn’t let Li Qingyun go with these two people!
Thinking this, she suddenly found the courage, rushed over, and grabbed Li Qingyun’s arm tightly to pull her inside while shouting at the two outsiders, "Get out! Just leave! Our home doesn’t welcome you!"
Before the middle-aged woman could finish her sentence, Fang Yuxin had already drawn the black Miao Saber at her waist, the sharp blade aimed directly at her. Then, Fang Yuxin, ignoring the terrified woman, turned to look at Li Qingyun, "Qingyun, she’s your mother, what do you say we should do? I will follow your lead."
Li Qingyun shuddered. She faintly realized that this was a choice given by Fang Yuxin. If she chose her mother, it could hurt Fang Yuxin, who was trying to stand up for her, and Fang Yuxin might just leave and never bother with her again!
Thinking this, Li Qingyun forcefully twisted her mother’s hand away and said coldly, "Mom, let go, I’m just going out to talk with a friend."
The woman refused to release her and instead screamed, "Li Qingyun! Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking! What can’t you talk about at home? Huh? I’ve raised you all these years, and now you just want to abandon me and your relatives? Over my dead body! Ah!"
She saw a flash of black light before her eyes, then felt a sharp pain on her scalp as if it had been sliced. The next moment, her dry hair fell to the ground. The woman widened her eyes, touched her head in confusion, and felt sticky warm blood, which made her scream in terror, "Murder—someone come quickly—there’s a murder—"
Li Qingyun frowned, then took the opportunity to break free from her grip and walked over to Fang Yuxin. She looked at Fang Yuxin somewhat awkwardly, "Xinxin... you..."
Fang Yuxin glanced at her indifferently, returned the saber to its sheath nonchalantly, and spoke in an emotionless tone, "Don’t worry, she isn’t hurt, it was just the sharp aura of the sword that caused her scalp to bleed."
After all, the woman was Li Qingyun’s mother, and no matter how angry Fang Yuxin felt inside, she would not act directly against this troublesome woman without crossing Li Qingyun. It was just a lesson.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun sighed with relief. Seeing the woman still screaming, she ignored her and simply said to Fang Yuxin, "Let’s go."
However, before the three could leave, a man in his fifties rushed out, his face contorted with anger, and scolded Li Qingyun, "Li Qingyun, are you blind? Didn’t you see your mother being injured by this woman? Don’t you care about your mother and still want to go with them? Are you even human?"
