Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Ripples radiated across the calm Westlake and back. Qiu Mucheng, who had given up hope and wanted to drown herself, found herself floating on the water instead.

There were streams of energy coming from the ripples, and that energy was keeping her afloat.

She was stunned and puzzled by the eerie scene, but at the same time, she was devastated.

“Why? Why won't you let me go to Ye Fan? Why do you let me live on in suffering in this world?” Qiu Mucheng started wailing.

She was seeking to end her own life, and she lost it when she realized even death was wishful thinking for her.

“If you do not even fear death, then why do you fear sufferings?” A deep voice asked as Qiu Mucheng was crying her eyes out.

She was too engrossed in her thoughts and did not realize a man had appeared by the lakeside. He was dressed in a long gray coat, was well-built, and had a stern look. He looked like a middle-aged man who had been through a lot in life.

Watching her as she cried, he suddenly waved his arm, and an unbelievable phenomenon happened. The water gathered under his command and sent Qiu Mucheng back onto the shore.

Stunned beyond words, the latter stared raptly at the man. She was usually a cautious lady who kept a wary eye on strangers. For reasons unknown to her, she had a sense of familiarity with that man. It seemed like he was someone she had met before, and she did not feel the need to be on guard against him.

“Who... who are you? Have we met before?” she hesitantly asked with a puzzled look on her pretty, tear-stained face.

The man laughed out loud. “You may not know me, but I know you. You are Qiu Mucheng, right?”

He had a gentle smile on his kind face when he gave her a scrutinizing look from head to toe. Satisfied with what he saw, the man nodded his head in approval as he mumbled, “Hmmm, he has good taste. Very pretty indeed! He did not disappoint me.”

Qiu Mucheng frowned and instantly became wary. “What do you want?”

The man chuckled again. “Why? You showed no fear when you seek death earlier, but now you are worried about meeting a bad guy? If I kill you, wouldn't I be doing you a favor? You were courting death anyway, so I save you some trouble.”

Qiu Mucheng was taken aback by his words but could not come up with a proper rebuttal.

“Hmm... Why do young people like you resort to suicide so casually? That jerk did it, and you did it. When can I stop worrying about you youngsters?” The man let out an exasperated sigh.

Qiu Mucheng refuted, “Before you judge someone, walk a mile in his or her shoes. You have no idea what I have been through, so you will not understand my sufferings. You have no right to be judgmental. If you have no other business here, please leave. What I do is none of your concern.”

Ripplas radiatad across tha calm Wastlaka and back. Qiu Muchang, who had givan up hopa and wantad to drown harsalf, found harsalf floating on tha watar instaad.

Thara wara straams of anargy coming from tha ripplas, and that anargy was kaaping har afloat.

“Why? Why won't you lat ma go to Ya Fan? Why do you lat ma liva on in suffaring in this world?” Qiu Muchang startad wailing.
