The male supporting character was actually myself.

…………

People pointed and whispered along the way, but Dong Muqian kept his head down and walked quickly.

Liu Yingxiu followed behind, panting. She watched as her son walked faster and faster, leaving her behind. Exhausted, she had no choice but to sit down on a bench to catch her breath, disregarding her pride.

"Oh, who do we have here?"

The cleaning lady pushed her cart over and, while wiping the bench, mocked, "You really smear the reputation of women! Back then, you were so confident in telling me that your daughter-in-law was cheating on you, as if you had seen it with your own eyes!"

The results of it?

You two bullied that girl, spreading rumors and trying to frame her.

I even believed you and stood up for you two! Luckily, you didn't spread it around, or I'd be arrested by the police and utterly humiliated! Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm cleaning, don't loiter here.

Liu Yingxiu waved her hand weakly and said helplessly, "I'm so old, I can't work and I can't earn money, what can I do? I have to rely on my son to support me, how dare I disobey what he says?"

"You two are too calculating." The cleaning lady sneered, "After all that scheming, you didn't get anything in the end, did you? Teacher Yu has already filed for divorce. It seems she really doesn't want to live with your son anymore."

That's true. Before, Teacher Yu had nothing and no one to help her; you two bullied her all you wanted. But things are different now. Teacher Yu's younger brother has made a fortune in business!

My younger brother bought a four-bedroom house in Yu Tianxia in cash and gave it to Teacher Yu. It must have cost at least five or six million!

You've really shot yourselves in the foot. If you had treated Teacher Yu better, your whole family would be living in a big house by now..."

"What did you say? Really? You're buying a house outright for Yu Chuchu?" Liu Yingxiu perked up immediately upon hearing about the amount of money. Her withered, drooping old eyes gleamed with a bright light as she eagerly asked, "How did you know?"

The other person looked disgusted. "The whole school is buzzing about it! Only your son, who was just released, hasn't heard anything yet. I heard that the sister of a math professor works as a property manager in the Yu Tianxia residential complex, and the news from there is that she bought a four-bedroom house outright and put it in Professor Yu's name on the spot!"

The teacher's sister was involved in the handover ceremony and the handover of the property certificate..."

The cleaner was still muttering about how big and grand other people's houses were, and how much money Teacher Yu's brother made in business, when Liu Yingxiu couldn't sit still any longer. She hurriedly got up, caught her breath, and ran all the way to the staff dormitory.

"Son! I just heard some big news!"

She pushed open the door and, before she could even catch her breath, waved her hand and shouted, "We've struck it rich! Your wife owns a house worth five or six million—a four-bedroom house in Yu Tianxia! Her brother bought it for her in full, and the property deed is in Yu Chuchu's name!"

I remember you said something like this before: after getting a marriage certificate, all the money you earn belongs to both of you.

Since she bought a house after getting married, does that mean you own half of it?

"If we let her sell it, we'll have money for my medical treatment!"

In her excitement, Liu Yingxiu blurted out something unintentionally. Before she could figure out how to cover it up, Dong Muqian, who was lying on the bed, sat up abruptly and asked, "Where did you hear that news from?"

Seeing that her son hadn't paid attention to the last sentence, she steadied herself and hurriedly replied, afraid of saying something wrong again: "It's all over the school! Only my son and I don't know. They say it's the sister of a math teacher who works as a property manager in the Yu Tianxia residential complex. That's what people are saying."

Do you know such a person?

Let's find out if the news is true or not.

Everyone says Yu Chuchu's younger brother made a fortune in business! I think it's quite possible. Look at his clothes; even though I don't recognize the brands, I can tell they're expensive. Isn't he in Senhai? I heard it's a place where you can pick up money anywhere!

A huge house under the imperial court?!

Yu Jiangchen's expensive watch, his frequenting of Yu Chuchu in high-end shopping venues, and this sudden visit that caused all sorts of messy trouble, like asking for money...

The more Dong Muqian thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

He made a lot of money in business and wanted to come back to repay his sister's kindness. Then he deliberately said that his business had failed and he needed to borrow money to test her attitude towards him. Obviously, Yu Chuchu passed the test while he did not, which is why she argued with him on the phone.

One wrong step leads to another!

After passing the test, Yu Jiangchen secretly bought a house for her sister. Besides the house, there must have been a lot of money. Otherwise, how could Yu Chuchu have been willing to buy so many things and get the most expensive items from head to toe? She even started wearing makeup!

"Damn it! Trying to play tricks on me!" Dong Muqian hurriedly sent messages to several teachers he was on good terms with, and after receiving the definite news, he regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh.

Everything the mother heard confirmed it.

Two weeks ago, on the day Yu Chuchu called to ask Yu Jiangchen for money, Yu Jiangchen swiped his card to pay in full for a four-bedroom apartment in Yu Tianxia, ​​and the property deed was in Yu Chuchu's name!

It turns out it was all a test. If I hadn't been so impatient and had behaved a little better, things wouldn't have gotten out of control and I wouldn't have been tricked.

"Son, say something! How about I swallow my pride and apologize to your wife? She's the kindest-hearted woman, and she loves you to death. She'll listen to whatever you say. Let's apologize together, and we'll definitely win her back!"

Liu Yingxiu was extremely anxious. Whether it was moving into a spacious and luxurious house or urging her son to sell the house to pay for medical treatment, it would be extremely beneficial to her. Having money is better than not having money.

A house worth five or six million, even if you split it in half, you'd still get two or three million. You'd never even dare to dream of getting rich!

The thought of those beautiful, big houses in the short videos online made her impatient; she wanted to move there right away...

What's the use of apologizing?

After calming down and thinking for a moment, Dong Muqian shook his head and said, "Without a prenuptial agreement, income during the marriage is shared, but Yu Chuchu's income is not income."

Since Yu Jiangchen was able to come up with a way to test him, he certainly wouldn't be so careless!

Therefore, it's highly likely that a property gift agreement was signed for that five or six million yuan house. The house, which Yu Jiangchen bought outright, is only for Yu Chuchu. Even if we go through a divorce, I won't get a single square meter.

Liu Yingxiu had already started fantasizing about a better life, but hearing her son's words plunged her into despair. She clapped her hands anxiously and said, "Then, what should we do? We can't just watch such a large sum of money slip through our fingers! You have a master's degree in law, think of something quickly!"

Chapter Thirty: The Vicious Plan

"A solution?" Dong Muqian frowned and scratched his head.

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the spring sunshine outside. A sinister look flashed across his face. After carefully checking his surroundings again to make sure there were no listening devices or anything like that, he lowered his voice and said, "There are only two options now."

First, I'll try to win Yu Chuchu back. I'll lower my stance and say sweet words. Considering our years-long relationship, she'll soften her heart and change her mind soon. Then we'll take it slow and steady. I'll move in with her first, and while I'm at it, I'll try to get her pregnant and have a baby to keep her tied to me.

A woman like her, once she has a child, will definitely become indecisive, overthink things, and make all sorts of concessions for the sake of the child.

Once things have calmed down, I'll bring you back. Then, with my daughter and the child working together and threatening her, Yu Chuchu will eventually be completely brainwashed and have my name added to the property deed.

The gift agreement is meaningless if she is willing.

We can take Yu Chuchu to the notary office to have the property notarized and transferred to the child, or simply make it marital property. If she's obedient and lives with me, we'll live well; if she's disobedient, we'll make her have two or three more children and ruin her reputation, then we'll use emotional manipulation to force her to leave with nothing, as originally planned!

Liu Yingxiu's heart pounded with anxiety. When would that be?

I need money to see a doctor right now!

If I hadn't gotten cancer, I could have just endured it slowly; but now I have late-stage stomach cancer, and my son can afford to wait it out, but I can't!

"Is there any other way? It's still uncertain whether you can win Yu Chuchu back, not to mention things like adding her name and notarization in the future. It's too far in the future, how can you be sure?"

Besides, Yu Jiangchen beat you so badly that day that you almost lost your teeth. How could he just stand by and watch his sister jump into the fire again?

Yu Jiangchen will definitely stop it!

That kid's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve. If Yu Chuchu listens to him, she definitely won't give you half the house.

She tried to keep her voice down and urged, "Think about it again. There must be loopholes you can exploit. Be more cautious and get results faster, so that Yu Chuchu, who has money and a house, isn't determined to divorce you and actually keeps a gigolo outside. Can you tolerate that?"

The term "pretty boy" instantly struck a nerve with Dong Muqian.

The image of a competitor's clean-cut, unpleasant face flashed through his mind...

"There's another way, and it works the fastest!" Dong Muqian touched his slapped cheek, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "It just so happens that you have cancer, so this method is perfect for you."

Liu Yingxiu was completely confused and asked, "What method? What does it have to do with my cancer? Are you trying to sell me a sob story to the media to force Yu Chuchu to come back?"

A cruel smile flashed across his face as he shook his head. "No! There's no need to wait for Yu Chuchu to change her mind. Since things have already escalated to this point, it's better to..."

Dong Muqian cautiously looked around again to make sure everything was going smoothly before whispering in his mother's ear, "Find an excuse, whether it's an apology or a reconciliation, just find a way to get Yu Jiangchen and Yu Chuchu to come out."

They are both nearsighted and wear contact lenses.

I've prepared gasoline in a beverage bottle for you. When they're not looking, pour the gasoline on them. Contact lenses will dissolve in gasoline, and they'll become blind.

Get a knife and kill Yu Jiangchen first, then kill Yu Chuchu!

He made a throat-cutting gesture and gritted his teeth, saying, "Make sure to remember the order in which you kill the two people. Make sure you kill Yu Jiangchen first and then Yu Chuchu, then clean up and go to the police station to turn yourself in."

Imagine you were thinking of apologizing and making peace with them, but instead they insulted you. You couldn't contain your anger and resentment that they had ruined your son's future, so you took action in a fit of rage.

Regarding the gasoline, just say it was a drink I picked up from the roadside and didn't know what was in it. I only threw it at them in a fit of anger; it was all just a coincidence.

If Yu Jiangchen dies first, according to relevant laws, his estate will automatically be inherited by Yu Chuchu. Yu Chuchu will also die soon after, without any children or other blood relatives, and all her estate will be inherited by me.

As a family member of the victim, I can sign a letter of understanding.

Plus, given your age and cancer, the prison won't actively seek out such trouble. At most, they'll let you stay in there for a while, then I can apply for medical parole, and all their assets will be ours!

If you insist that it was a decision you made in a fit of anger and impulsively, and you absolutely deny any connection to me and take all the blame, I can get you out of here.

In less than six months, we will be able to live in a big house in Yu Tianxia, ​​run Yu Jiangchen's incredibly wealthy company, and completely turn our lives around and become the best of the best!

When we have houses and companies, and lots of money in our hands, won't we be able to get you treatment at the best hospitals?

To avoid being stuck in this shabby dorm room like now, with no money and no income, all I can do is offer you conservative treatment and leave it to fate.

Liu Yingxiu was deeply moved by what she heard.

Big houses and big companies are within easy reach!

The most crucial point is that since my illness has already progressed to this point, even if I turn myself in and go to prison, they can't just stand by and watch me get sick. On the contrary, they will actively send me to the hospital for treatment, even faster than a biological son.

Go all out and take a gamble. It's just killing two people I hate. At my age, what am I afraid of?

Since we're going to die anyway without money for treatment, we might as well do as our son suggested!

"Fine!" Liu Yingxiu thought for a moment, clenched her fist, and said righteously, "I'll take all the blame with my old life to get my son a five or six million yuan house and a big company that makes a fortune every day. Even if I die in prison, it'll be worth it!"

Unexpectedly, after his mother was diagnosed with cancer, she suddenly had a change of heart and started to think of him in everything. Dong Muqian was deeply moved.

He held his mother's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Mom, don't worry, as long as you do as I say, there will be absolutely no problem! I will bring you back soon. Just think about it, Yu Jiangchen can buy a house worth five or six million without batting an eye by swiping his card in full. He must have made tens of millions!"

"Once you've succeeded, we'll live in a magnificent house. I'll find you the best doctors and hospitals for treatment, and I'll marry a young, beautiful, and obedient wife. You can just wait to hold your grandchildren, be waited on by four or five servants, and enjoy a life of luxury!"

These words made Liu Yingxiu eager to try, and she urged her son to contact the Yu siblings as soon as possible.

Then she made an excuse to go to the restroom. After she came out, she ran to a corner of the public restroom and quietly used the voice search function to look up information online. Sure enough, her son hadn't lied to her—there was a news story about an elderly father who took the blame for killing the man's entire family, and then the woman got all the property and issued a letter of forgiveness, and was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.

There was another news story about an elderly murderer in his seventies who was terminally ill and raped and killed a woman. He surrendered himself to the police and his family actively compensated him, so he was not sentenced to death and was released on medical parole not long after...

Taking everything into consideration, Liu Yingxiu felt that the murder plan was feasible.

Before setting off, she would definitely put pressure on her son, telling him that if he refused to rescue her and wanted to get rid of his mother and keep everything for himself, she would have to give him up even if it meant losing him! In this way, she would force her younger son to find a way to get her out, so that he wouldn't betray her and take the benefits for himself without caring about his mother's life or death.

After making up her mind, Liu Yingxiu tidied her clothes and went back into the house.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..." Dong Muqian was still trying to call Yu Chuchu and Yu Jiangchen, but after several attempts, the phones were either switched off or out of service area, clearly indicating that they had blocked his number.
