Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

Su Manman's struggles grew weaker and weaker, her hands fell limply to her sides, her lips turned a horrifying bluish-purple, and her pupils began to dilate.

Just as her consciousness was about to slip into boundless darkness...

"boom!"

The ward door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

Zhang Feng, who had just brought over a thermos of chicken soup from home, was terrified when she saw her son gripping Su Manman's neck tightly with both hands. She smashed the thermos on the ground with a bang, splashing the scalding chicken soup everywhere.

"Zhe! Zhe! What are you doing?!"

Ignoring the mess on the ground, Zhang Feng scrambled forward, grabbing Xu Zhesheng's wrists tightly with both hands and pulling with all her might: "Let go! Let go of me right now!"

Her voice cracked with anxiety: "Can't we talk this out?! Look, she's rolling her eyes! If this keeps up, you're really going to strangle her! You're breaking the law, son!"

Although Zhang Feng was used to farm work in the countryside when she was young and was stronger than the average city woman, she had been pampered in the city for many years. In addition, Xu Zhesheng was now using all his strength out of anger and despair. How could she move him by herself?

Fortunately, Xu Zhi was also following behind, carrying large and small bags of daily necessities and supplements. When he entered the room and saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright.

Without saying a word, he threw the things on the ground, rushed up and grabbed Xu Zhesheng from behind, pulling him backward.

"Ah Zhe! You're insane! Let go!" Xu Zhi growled in his son's ear, veins bulging on his forehead. "Murder is punishable by death! How are your parents supposed to live after this?!"

Xu Zhesheng was dragged backward by the two of them, and the hand that was gripping Su Manman's neck finally loosened its grip.

Su Manman slid off the bed like a lump of mud and fell to the ground with a "thud." She clutched her neck tightly with both hands, opened her mouth wide and gasped for breath, making rapid, panting sounds like a fish out of water. Tears and snot covered her face, and the five purplish-red finger marks on her neck were shocking.

She curled up on the ground, coughing so hard her whole body trembled, each cough sounding like she was about to cough up her lungs.

Xu Zhesheng was held tightly from behind by his father, his chest heaving violently, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to bleed.

He stared at the woman curled up on the ground, his chest pounding like a wild beast, wanting to pounce on her again, but Xu Zhi held him down firmly.

"Calm down!" Xu Zhi growled in his ear, his voice unusually stern. "Can't you ask me anything? You're a director, a public figure. If you kill someone here, your life is over!"

Xu Zhesheng's breathing was heavy, like a bellows. He glared at Su Manman and forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You better pray you can explain yourself clearly today. Su Manman, every single thing you've cheated me out of, I'll make you pay back with interest."

When Zhang Feng saw that her son had finally been pulled away, her legs went weak, and she leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

She looked down at Su Manman on the ground, then at her son's murderous look, her heart pounding with anxiety. What was going on? Everything was fine yesterday, how did it escalate to the point of wanting to strangle someone today?

Su Manman lay on the ground, panting heavily. Her hoarse voice was frightening. It took her a while to gradually come to her senses. Her neck was still aching, but she knew that if she showed weakness again, she would have no chance to turn the tables.

She touched the shocking bruises on her neck, and after the excruciating cough subsided slightly, she scrambled to her feet and stumbled toward the door.

Her voice was still hoarse, as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, but she mustered all her strength and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Someone help! Murder!!"

The voice was so piercing it could penetrate the entire corridor.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng turned pale with fright. She scrambled forward and pulled Su Manman back from behind: "Manman! What nonsense are you spouting! You and A Zhe just had a fight, how did it escalate to murder! Don't be so reckless!"

Su Manman was already exhausted, and Zhang Feng dragged her back, causing her back to slam heavily against the door frame.

She turned her head abruptly, her eyes, which had always feigned gentle innocence, now bloodshot, staring intently at Zhang Feng like a mother wolf cornered.

"Arguing?! Did he look like he was arguing just now?! He pinched me! He almost strangled me to death!"

Pointing to the five purplish-red bruises on her neck, her voice hoarse yet dripping with blood, she said, "These wounds are evidence! I'm going to sue him! I'm going to call the police!"

"Snapped!"

Zhang Feng suddenly raised her hand and slapped Su Manman hard across the face.

The sound was so crisp it exploded in the ward.

Zhang Feng's strength was immense; Su Manman was knocked to the side, blood instantly seeping from the corner of her mouth, and half of her face swelled up at a visible speed.

"Su Manman! I think our Xu family has been too good to you, making you arrogant and conceited!"

Zhang Feng pointed at her nose and cursed, her voice shrill and piercing, "Ah Zhe feeds you, gives you water, and ensures you have everything you need, and all you want to do is call the police because I pinched you?! Don't you have any conscience?!"

Zhang Feng used to be very obedient to Su Manman. Although Su Manman's attitude cooled down after she gave birth, Zhang Feng still managed to take care of her, even though she was sometimes difficult to please and had many demands. In general, Zhang Feng would complain but try her best to do what she wanted. As for taking action, that was unprecedented.

Su Manman covered her burning cheek, her ears ringing, and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth down her chin.

She slowly turned her head, and her eyes no longer held the weakness and pretense of the past, but only a ruthlessness born of being driven to the brink.

"Okay, okay..."

She said "okay" three times in a row, her voice trembling uncontrollably, yet carrying a resolute determination: "You whole family bully me, don't you? You think I'm useless after having a child?! Fine! I'll sue you! You just wait!"

With that, she took off running, stumbling and screaming, "Help! Murder! Someone, help!"

She moved extremely quickly, and during this period of contact she had always been gentle and weak, so Zhang Feng thought that her slap would intimidate her and was completely unprepared. Xu Zhi was restraining the furious Xu Zhesheng and had no time to pay attention to her, so he actually let her go.

Su Manman's hair was disheveled and scattered behind her, her face was red and swollen, blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth, and there was a shocking strangulation mark on her neck, which made passers-by feel horrified. In addition, her ward was ordered to take extra care of her, and when she saw this scene, several medical staff rushed over instantly.

"What's wrong?! What happened?!" The nurse on duty was so frightened that her voice changed.

Su Manman scrambled over, grabbing the nurse's clothes, and looked up at her horribly mutilated face. Tears mixed with blood streamed down her cheeks, and her voice was hoarse as if she had crawled out of hell: "Please...call the police for me...they're trying to kill me..."
