《Marriage in Corrosive Love》C8. Broken Self-esteem
Advertisement
Lin Zhiqiu cried and begged. She tried everything to retain the heart blood of her husband. But she could not cope with such ferocious opponents.
Shen Qingkong could not bear any more, and rushed forward with a shout, to protect Lin Zhiqiu behind her, “We’ll never sign on it! No one can think of a plan of Shen’s Company!”
Seeing that Shen Qingkong was making a trouble, the second uncle got very angry, and blamed her by pointing at her, “Keep off, you younger member of the family!”
Shen Qingkong did not give away. With her jaw raised, she stared at the second uncle in an arrogant way, “No one is qualified to do so except for me!”
The second uncle sneered at her, “You? You are joking!”
“I’m Mrs. Mu!” Shen Qingkong heard something broken and collapsed. She knew that was her self-esteem and pride.
“Mrs. Mu? Everybody in Yancheng knows that Yu Youyou is the lover of Mu Linxuan. Mrs. Mu is just has all her goods in the window!”
In fact, he would not come to make a trouble as soon as his elder brother died if Shen Qingkong were not so useless.
The other people echoed. She was heavily damaged due to the repeated laughs. Shen Qingkong fought back tears, “I’ve been pregnant, his baby.”
The second uncle showed an expression of amazement, which was then replaced with a smile, “That’s wonderful. You will enjoy high positions and great wealth after giving birth to the baby.”
The second uncle turned happy, because Mu Linxuan would never ignored his own baby even if he loved another woman so much. He showed a smile at the thought of this point.
As a matter of fact, his elder brother raised this brilliant daughter although he was useless in his whole life, which was really admirable.

The second uncle abandoned his original plan to sell off Shen’s Company and shared the money. Anyway, it was better to enjoy high positions and great wealth for long.
The second uncle gave a sign to his wife to put away the document, and planned to improve the relationship with Shen Qingkong. Suddenly, Lin Zhiqiu rushed and grabbed the document, and signed her name on it, with a fingerprint. Then she threw back the document severely, and shouted: “Get away! Do not come back again!”
“Sister-in-law, please don’t……”
Lin Zhiqiu was full of hate, and held a fruit knife, waving forward, “Get away!”
The second uncle could not get closer. He was timid with Lin Zhiqiu with such a crazy expression, and left with anger.
“Mom……”
“You get away!” By pointing at Shen Qingkong with the knife, Lin Zhiqiu said with hate, “Shen Qingkong, you remember that you have no relationship with Shen Family and Shen’s Company! I prefer to see Shen’s Company damaged and confess to you father after I die! I do not need mercy from my enemy!”
Lin Zhiqiu did not want to see Shen Qingkong anymore, “Get away! You, get away!”
“Mom, I remember it. Please do not drive me out of the door.” She stared at her mom with tearful eyes, “I have to say goodbye to dad…”
“How are you entitled to do so!” Lin Zhiqiu roared, “Shen Qingkong, you are not the daughter of Shen Family anymore! You are not related to anything of Shen Family! We have no relationship anymore!”
Shen Qingkong kneeled down on the ground. With fears, she entreated while cried, “Mom, please do not! I know it’s my fault! You just punish me in anyway, but please do not say so… Mom, I have nothing but you… Please do not abandon me, please…”
However, no matter how seriously Shen Qingkong cried and entreated, Lin Zhiqiu was as cold as an iron, with no trace of expression. Leaning the knife against her neck, she shouted, “Get away!”

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.
