The Struggles of Being A Mother of Villains

Ch.178 Through the Back Door (5)

After eating, Ji Yu pulled Xiao Ruoguang to the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote.

"I wanna watch Boonie Bears!" Xiao Ruoguang shouted.

Ji Yu then said, "No! Boonie Bears isn't nice. We're watching Little Witches!"

Xiao Ruoguang froze. Looking at the TV, he said sadly, "Then I'll let Big Sis watch Little Witches."

But Ji Yu's hand with the controller stiffened. That's when she heard Xiao Ruoguang go on with, "I know, Big Sis watched Boonie Bears before, so Big Sis must be tired of it. Anyway, I've never watched it before, but I'll let Big Sis choose. I'll watch whatever Big Sis wants to watch."

Ji Yu, "...Then, since you've never watched Boonie Bears, I'll let you watch it."

And so, Ji Yu could only change the channel to Boonie Bears and said, "There. Boonie Bears is not bad." After turning up the volume, Ji Yu watched the show with Xiao Ruoguang.

Xiao Yu was sitting in front of the piano, practicing her playing while watching the two children with a smile on her lips.

"Ah—!!!"

A scream was heard next door. Xiao Yu frowned and stopped what she was doing. Since the noise came through the wall, she couldn't hear it too clearly, and the two children didn't notice it either. They were still focused on watching TV.

Xiao Yu looked towards the door, and in the end, she still sighed and went outside.

Just like with Ji Xuan's villa, the neighboring houses were built to the same specifications, and the group of villas were the same inside. When Ji Xuan bought the place, the inside was already furnished.

The villas were surrounded by only a single fence. Since the security guards were all army veterans and were very careful, many buyers built fences around their villas. Even though Ji Xuan's villa wasn't surrounded by a full fence, there was still a short fence around a meter tall surrounding the abode.

Xiao Yu opened the gate of the fence and rang the doorbell.

The one who came to open the door was an old woman in a white uniform. She was probably the housekeeper, like Kong Yuqing. Xiao Yu brought up a sweet smile and said, "Excuse me, is everything alright? I heard some noise from next door and was a little worried."

The old woman put away her wary expression and said, "Nothing's wrong."

Xiao Yu smiled. "I heard a scream just now. Is it really fine?"

The old woman did not respond. Then, Xiao Yu saw a boy in rags running out from the living room. It actually turned out to be Wen Lie. At this moment, his face was covered in dark bruises and there were whip marks covering his legs. There was even striking red blood dripping from his arms.

Xiao Yu's pupils shrank. Even though she knew that this boy would grow to be very strong in the future and wouldn't die, and what he suffered today was just like the dirty fertilizer that was needed for the most beautiful flower to bloom...

Seeing this with her own eyes still made Xiao Yu feel uncomfortable.

He was only 6 years old. He was just a child. The boy was only 1.15 meters tall and he was so skinny that his bones were sticking out. He couldn't even afford to eat in this wealthy family.

Even though she knew this, Xiao Yu still had to think about how strong he became in the future, and what he would do to the Ji family for the heroine's sake. Then, she actually felt that he wasn't that pitiful.

However, the moment she saw him run out covered in blood, Xiao Yu still felt angry for what this child had to suffer.

She had not given birth to a child before and had no idea what a mother should feel like. She just tried to do her best. So, just protecting two children by herself was enough to make her feel the heartache.

As for this child's mother. If she were still in this world, then how would she feel?

Wen Lie ran over bare-chested and did not ask Xiao Yu for help. He just slipped past the gap beside Xiao Yu and ran all the way to the courtyard before stopping. Then, he looked back at that door that was filled with darkness.

Wen Tianlang rushed over angrily with a belt in hand. Even after he saw Xiao Yu, he didn't dispel his anger.

While walking, he shouted, "You little brat, if I don't beat you to death today then my surname won't be Wen!"

He pushed Xiao Yu away and walked out. Xiao Yu, who fell to the ground, looked at him coldly before screaming out, "Oh my god! My stomach! Ji Yu~~~! Hurry, my stomach hurts!"

Ji Xuan who had just come out from the door, "..."
