Imperfect Desires-Chapter 881 - Not Feeling Bad

In her crazed state, Liu Nuan really didn't think about the consequences of her actions when she shot that bullet. She felt empty as long as she thought about how Zhou Jinhai was no longer with her. It was like she lost all her reason and all her purpose to live as well. So, she wanted to drag someone to death with her.

But she didn't expect that at the last moment, Zhou Jinhai would push his mother out of the way and the bullet would pierce through his shoulder. This time, his blood splattered all over his mother's face who was fallen to a side.

Seeing how he bit his lips to hold back his screams of pain, Liu Nuan's hands shook. Even her soul trembled at the sight. She didn't want to hurt him. She never had that idea in her mind. But now, she was the one who hurt Zhou Jinhai.

On the side, Xiu was also looking at this scene with still an expressionless face. She didn't think Zhou Jinhai would be able to save his mother. But then again, only he could do it since he was closest to his mother. And the reason why she didn't expect him to save his mother wasn't that she thought he hated her enough to let her die just like that but it was because she knew Zhou Jinhai.

He believed that the best way to hurt his mother was by hurting himself. After all, didn't his mother claim that she did everything for him? Then he wanted her to see how she destroyed him with her own hands.

Also, it was surprising to her how Zhou Jinhai managed to find that burst of energy to save his mother even when his mind was already on the verge of the unconscious.

"Why?" questioned Niu Peizhi as she looked at her son incredulously. "Didn't you say I destroyed you? Then why did you save me?"

Zhou Jinhai took heavy breaths trying to fill up his lungs with oxygen which was getting difficult and painful with each passing second.

Catching his breath with much difficulty, he breathed out, "No matter what, you're still my mother. I can't treat you who you treated me."

Niu Peizhi was left stunned by his answer as she watched his head falling back and his eyes closing slowly. Her whole world spun right before her eyes as she forgot what she wanted to do. She couldn't think clearly and neither could she move her body. She didn't dare touch her own son's body as she was afraid of finding it cold. freℯ𝓌e𝚋𝐧𝘰vℯl.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Liu Nuan stared at Zhou Jinhai and tried to shake him awake, "Jinhai? Jinhai? Can you hear me? I didn't mean to do it. Please, open your eyes!" However, no matter how she shook him, he didn't open his eyes again. She held the gun again and smiled at him, "Don't worry! I won't ever leave you alone. I'll follow you anywhere." Keeping that smile on her lips, she placed the muzzle of the gun on her temple and pressed the trigger without any hesitation.

As her body fell right by Zhou Jinhai's side, Niu Peizhi was left even more stunned. She never thought Liu Nuan was crazy enough to commit suicide just to accompany her son to even afterlife.

Han Bohai had been covering Xiu's eyes, not allowing her to see any of this. Xiu was trying to move his hand away from her eyes. "Move it already. It's already over!"

"I still don't want you to see such a bloody scene," said Han Bohai. "It's not good for my nephew to see all of this."

Xiu slapped his hand away saying, "Your nephew can't see it for now. Stop overreacting. I'll definitely not allow my son to see this side of the world." Her eyes were trained on Niu Peizhi who just sat there motionlessly as she went on, "I so wanted that bullet to go through her head. What a shame!"

Han Bohai looked at Xiu with shock in his eyes. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

"Don't give me that look," said Xiu. "I certainly don't feel bad for any of them."

Just then the ambulance arrived and the paramedics rushed up towards Zhou Jinhai and Liu Nuan in a hurry. After examining Liu Nuan, they shook heads. However, Zhou Jinhai still had a faint breath and he was hurried out of there.

"I'll have to give a police statement for all of this, don't I?" asked Xiu with displeasure in her voice.

"You don't have to worry about that." Xiu looked at Bo Jiu who had also come out of the car and stood by her side since who knows when. "Someone will naturally take care of the police." She pointed at Niu Peizhi who still hadn't gotten her moved from her place at all. "You should be thinking about how to deal with her instead."

Xiu jumped down from the car's hood and dusted off her hands before she pulled out a pair of leather gloves from her pockets and put them on. Then she moved towards the back of the car and rummaged through it before finding her precious weapon.

Looking at the baseball bat in Xiu's hand, both Bo Jie and Han Bohai frowned at her. Like the angel of death, she purposely dragged the baseball bat making a scarping sound. She stopped right in front of Niu Peizhi and smiled at her, "Losing your precious son, must be really painful?" Niu Peizhi looked up at her while Xiu continued, "But that pain isn't enough for me." Xiu lifted the bat and slammed it straight on her knees making her scream in pain as she looked at Xiu in shock and disbelief. Xiu pushed her hair back saying, "My husband spent a year on a hospital bed because he couldn't walk. All because of the accident you orchestrated. Let me tell you what it feels like."

While Han Bohai put his hand over his mouth, Bo Jiu found some melon seeds from her bag and started munching on them as she watched Xiu raining down her bat on Niu Peizhi. Actually, Xiu hadn't changed her location of the hit from the very beginning. Her aim was Niu Peizhi's legs and she had struck it right there. Precisely!

Each time the bat struck, one could hear Niu Peizhi's blood-curling screams but Xiu seemed like a possessed person who only saw blood in her vengeance. She couldn't see anything else and she didn't wish to stop either. She knew if she became soft-hearted once again, she'd fall into the same circle that pushed her to her death. She didn't want to walk on the same road of self-destruction all over again.

Since this woman hurt her and her husband, it was only right that she paid her back with interest!

When Xiu finally stopped, Niu Peizhi had already collapsed in the pool of her own blood. However, she hadn't lost her consciousness. It was too painful that she couldn't even lose her consciousness to escape this pain right now. Never in her wildest dreams, she had thought that someone like Xiu would actually act so cruelly. Even her sight could make anyone shudder in fear right now.

Xiu closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she walked back towards her car. She placed her bat in Bo Jiu's hand, "Wipe it clean for me."

"You seemed to be enjoying yourself," commented Bo Jiu. "I never thought you could be so cold-hearted. I have a whole new respect for you. And a whole new admiration as well."

"Is that something admiring?" asked Han Bohai with a complicated gaze.

Bo Jiu shrugged her shoulders at him, "Everyone has their own idea of admiration. Mine is definitely different than yours."

Han Bohai shook his head at her, "Are we leaving her here just like this?"

Xiu had already sat down in her seat and fastened her seatbelt. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes as she said, "Someone will come to deal with her. Let her be."

"You don't want her dead?" asked Han Bohai.

"If she has to die, I definitely won't be the one to give her a fast death. If she is so eager to die, she can kill herself."

"Someone like her won't give up on life so easily."

"You never know," responded Xiu. "I always thought Liu Nuan was a weak girl. She would never take her own life because she was too afraid. But today, she made me realize that it all depended on who was the reason behind her motivation to live and die. It's interesting how Zhou Jinhai was the reason she wanted to live and he became the reason why she killed herself."

Han Bohai also found it quite strange. He also never thought Liu Nuan would do something like this. He looked back at Niu Peizhi's condition and shook his head before getting in the car. That woman had hurt his Sister Xiu, he'd definitely not feel bad for her end.
