Tang Yue suddenly made a move, she raised her hand and pressed on Tao Yujun’s bandaged wrist.
"Ah..."
Tao Yujun, pressed by Tang Yue, felt her wrist wound, left from her suicide attempt, split open instantly.
"Help!"
Tao Yujun shouted loudly.
Ding Ling had already closed the door and sent the nurses away.
As for the people guarding outside, they had long been replaced by the men from Lian Tong’s side, so now, even if Tao Yujun screamed her lungs out, no one would care.
"Help!"
Tao Yujun panicked, calling out for a long time, watching the blood flow from her wrist, but no one came to help her. Frantically, she said, "What do you want? Killing is illegal."
"I’m not killing anyone, you’re the one who wanted to commit suicide, what’s that got to do with me?"
Tang Yue stepped back, watching the quickly reddening bandage, she smiled innocently at her. Clearly smiling, yet giving off a cold feeling, her crisp voice was extremely cold, saying, "Tao Yujun, you don’t need to worry about my husband, he’s bound to live safely until a hundred, but it’s different for you, so young and you have to spend your years in prison."
"What’s there to fear, I can come out in a few years." Tao Yujun said through gritted teeth, she knew roughly that she was charged with intent to harm, not intent to kill, after all?
"Premeditated murder, you think you can get out in a few years? At least ten, right?"
Tang Yue blinked, as if making a casual conversation, staring at Tao Yujun and said, "You’re too naive; even in prison, do you think you can stay unharmed for ten years?"
"There are murderers and those who’ve committed serious offenses in there, do you think you’ll just eat and wait out the time inside?"
Tang Yue chuckled, seemingly mocking Tao Yujun’s naivety, she said, "You’re not even thirty yet, unmarried and childless, for a stranger, you let your family be ruined, such a waste for you."
Even as she said this, Tang Yue was delighted.
"What stranger, it was all Lian Qingyang’s doing." Tao Yujun stared at her bleeding wrist, realizing no one was coming in, not even the nurses she had despised earlier. Fear crept into her heart, even though she had really wanted to die before, now, she didn’t want to die.
"Xiao Yang doesn’t see you as anything but a stranger, you say you’re classmates, but do you think there’s any friendship between you?"
"Would Xiao Yang greet you, invite you for lunch, chat with you?"
Tang Yue’s every question was denied by Tao Yujun in her heart, there’s no way Lian Qingyang would greet her, he avoided her as much as possible; as for eating and chatting, that was out of the question.
"If I were you, I’d honestly rather be dead." Tang Yue pursed her lips, continuing, "You wanted to scheme against Xiao Yang, but look, you hoisted the rock only to drop it on your own feet; your father is nearly driven to death by you, maybe heavens couldn’t tolerate it, what’s been done by your father got unveiled by heavens, he got jailed, knowing he couldn’t escape the death penalty, took his own life in fear."
"And your biological mother, oh how unwavering she was when she abandoned you, her own daughter. Tao Yujun, don’t you think living to this stage is a failure?"
"Your brother didn’t want you either, just left you behind."
Each of Tang Yue’s words was like a heavy punch, hammering on Tao Yujun’s heart.
Tao Yujun’s face turned pale, this had always been the hardest, most unhealed scar on her heart, when her father was almost driven to death by her, jailed, dead; her mother relentlessly abandoned her.
What meaning does her life have?
Tang Yue continued, "Trying to use acid yesterday was even dumber, didn’t harm Xiao Yang at all, yet made you look like this monster, if it were me, I wouldn’t survive either."
"No, I want to live, I want to survive." Tao Yujun stared at Tang Yue, her eyes as big as bells seeming to tell Tang Yue, she refuses to die.
"Tell me, who is the root cause of your family’s ruin?"
