After Rebirth, I Married the Great Demon King

Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Has Cheng Lie Met with an Accident?

And Cheng Lie was preparing to leave for his appointment.

However, just as he stepped out of the hotel, a woman lunged toward him. If Zhao Pan hadn’t reacted quickly and stepped in front of the woman, she might have already thrown herself at him.

"Cheng Lie, you’re so cruel! How could you treat your biological father like this? Do you even have a heart?"

The woman’s voice was loud, instantly attracting the attention of people around them.

It was only then that Cheng Lie realized the woman wasn’t anyone else—it was Zhao Haishuang.

After some time apart, Zhao Haishuang no longer resembled the woman he remembered.

The woman who had once treasured her face as a priceless gem had grown increasingly hideous after her disfigurement.

And now, she also seemed mentally unstable, her eyes wild and fixated madly on him.

Cheng Lie showed no fear of Zhao Haishuang’s gaze—he only felt curious. How had Zhao Haishuang learned he was back?

His cold gaze met Zhao Haishuang’s, making her feel a chill deep in her heart. But as she reflected on the life she had been living—neither human nor ghost-like—all of her former glory reduced to nothing, her husband in prison, her son dead, and herself left utterly alone—she realized she was tired of living.

So, before she died, she decided to drag Cheng Lie to hell along with her.

Staring at Cheng Lie, she murmured, "Cheng Lie, the matter with your mother—it was me. But you’ll never be able to find the evidence."

Her gaze shimmered with a frenzied hue. The corners of her lips lifted into a smile. "And one more thing you don’t know—Old Cheng isn’t your father. Your biological father has been dead for years."

Cheng Lie’s pupils contracted upon hearing Zhao Haishuang’s words. He stared at her in disbelief, something deep inside him shuddering. Yet, quickly, he tamped it down, though his hands at his sides clenched tightly without him realizing.

After a long silence, he spoke in a low voice, "What did you say?"

Zhao Haishuang’s smile deepened, growing even more sinister. "You’re not Old Cheng’s son. You have no connection to us. It’s just that Old Cheng liked your mother and decided to take you in. Isn’t that no different from adopting a bastard child?"

And so, she had vented all her fury on Cheng Lie.
