There was a hint of pain in Duan Changhai's eyes, but he finally nodded.
"What happened back then has nothing to do with the child. As long as you say a word, I will give you my life with both hands." When he raised his head again, the emotions in his eyes were perfectly hidden.
Li Xiaoyou couldn't help but be more puzzled. What kind of grudges were there between these two people? And back then... could things of the previous generation not be so messy?!
Who said that today’s society is in chaos? The older generation’s era was also in chaos, okay?
"I want your life?" Ji Ruyu smiled sarcastically, then slapped him again.
There was a "pop" sound, like a slap on Li Xiaoyou's face, but it didn't hurt her, and she didn't feel any special tension in her heart.
This is not at all like the reaction that a daughter whose blood is thicker than water should have. Even though the two have just met each other and don’t have much affection at all, but...
Li Xiaoyou always felt that his reaction was not that of distress, but of pity. It was a reaction that could be felt towards kittens, puppies, or strangers.
"Stop fighting!" she shouted loudly, trying to stop her "violence".
Because in Li Xiaoyou's eyes, violence cannot solve the problem. The effect of force is mutual. Instead of making his palms hurt like that, it is better to just end it.
She was sure that a society governed by law would be harmonious, but she didn't expect that the man next to her had nothing to do with the word harmony.
In fact, what was more important was that she saw Mu Chenfeng's mother's hand, which had hit her father, was trembling slightly.
It was as if all this anger and resentment were being forced on, or maybe, if not, she wouldn't be able to get over the hurdle in her heart.
Many people were like this, including Li Xiaoyou herself, so she actually felt an inquiring heart for the woman who slapped her father twice.
What's even more sad is that even when she stopped her, it was as if she was a passerby who was complaining when passing by. Damn it, how could this happen?!
Ji Ruyu glanced sideways at her, her chest heaving with great anger.
Seeing a gun on the coffee table, she sneered, walked over, picked it up, and pointed at Duan Changhai's heart.
"Ruyu, you..." Situ Mingchuan wanted to stop him, but Mu Chenfeng stared back with a cold look.
The moment Li Xiaoyou saw her holding the gun, his scalp suddenly went numb.
No, it can't be done!
"Mu Chenfeng, no, no..." She grabbed Mu Chenfeng's sleeve and shook her head in panic.
The way she lost her mind for a moment did not move him. Mu Chenfeng sneered at his hard-heartedness and held her wrist tightly with his backhand.
It's like stopping her from rushing towards a death that doesn't belong to her.
"I really want to cut open your chest to see the colors of the things inside, but now, it's all over!" As he said that, Ji Ruyu closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
"Bang——"
"No!!!" The moment the gun rang out, Li Xiaoyou suddenly fainted.
Mu Chenfeng caught her limp body quickly with quick eyes and hands, but was not too anxious.
He looked at Duan Changhai's desolate expression, then looked at his mother Ji Ruyu, and asked expressionlessly, "Is this your choice?"
Ji Ruyu's expression froze, and time passed in front of his eyes as his eyes flickered.
