Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: When Su Qinglan Stops Playing Nice

Inside the tree house, the moment Su Qinglan lowered the hide curtain and shut every small window and opening, her entire expression changed.

All the fake softness and polite daughter act vanished within a heartbeat. Her smile turned a little smug, and before Mu Lihua could even understand what was happening, Su Qinglan grabbed her shoulders and shoved her down so hard that her body hit the wooden floor with a loud THUD!!

Mu Lihua’s eyes flew wide open. She looked like a startled chicken as she screamed, "S–Su Qinglan! What are you doing?! I am your mother! How dare you..."

But Su Qinglan didn’t give her even one second to finish her nonsense. She was not in the mood to hear a single word from this old bitch.

Without hesitation, she grabbed a thick strip of hide from the side and wrapped it tightly around Mu Lihua’s mouth, gagging her completely before she could scream again.

Mu Lihua’s eyes almost popped out from shock. This fat bitch actually gagged her?

She kicked her legs uselessly, her eyes filling with intense rage, but the more she struggled, the more Su Qinglan’s evil smile grew.

Su Qinglan cracked her fingers one by one, making sharp popping sounds. Each pop felt like a hammer dropping on Mu Lihua’s heart, and she trembled violently.

Even with her mouth gagged, she let out muffled screams, shaking her head like a frightened beast, as if begging for mercy.

Su Qinglan didn’t even blink.

She stepped closer, crouched down, and in a low, cold voice whispered, "My dear fake mother... now tell me. Am I your daughter or not?"

Mu Lihua tried to scream again, shaking her head, pretending to act like she was Su Qinglan’s true mother, but Su Qinglan’s patience snapped.

Her hand moved fast, and she slapped Mu Lihua so hard that the older woman’s head whipped to the side. The force made her ears ring and her cheeks burn, and blood instantly appeared inside her mouth. But with her mouth gagged, she couldn’t spit it out. It only dripped uselessly.

Mu Lihua flinched and stared at Su Qinglan with wide, trembling eyes. That slap told her very clearly this fat bitch was not joking today.

Su Qinglan slapped her again, this time even harder.

Mu Lihua finally stopped fighting. She realized something was very wrong.

She felt scared... truly scared.

Her heart pounded like a trapped rabbit as she thought, How?! How could she know?! It must definitely be me imagining it. She must be just dissatisfied with me that she does not treat me equally as Xu Meiyan... that’s it and nothing else.

She slowly tapped her hand against her gag, motioning Su Qinglan to remove it. She forced herself to sound calm and said through the gag, "Mmm—remove... I’ll talk..."

But the moment Su Qinglan loosened the gag even slightly, Mu Lihua tried to act innocent again, even sounding offended. "W–What nonsense! If you are not my daughter, then whose womb did you arrive from? It was me who carried you for one and a half months, huh? I gave birth to you! And you dare hit me? Have you no shame? How will you show your ugly face to your father after beating your..."

Another violent slap cut her words off.

Su Qinglan’s eyes burned now, not with anger but with icy calm.

"Don’t act innocent with me," she said, her voice steady like a hunter talking to its prey. "I know everything. Stop pretending. Now tell me the truth. Or should I change the question?"
