Before Zhao Hongliang could react to the meaning of Wen Yan's words, Old Madam Zhao snatched the phone from his hand.
Old Madam Zhao opened Zhao Hongliang's WeChat.
At a glance, she saw his chat history with Li Liying.
Li Liying had sent him a photo of herself in a bikini, and he praised Li Liying, saying her figure was so good it made him drool.
Li Liying said that if there was a chance, she would let him witness her great figure with his own eyes. He replied that it would be his utmost honor and added words about wanting to taste her.
The chat history between the two was extremely explicit.
Old Madam Zhao was so angry that her face turned ashen. She wanted to continue scrolling up, but Zhao Hongliang snatched the phone back.
Old Madam Zhao used all her strength and slapped him across the face.
Do you despise me for being old, for having a face full of wrinkles? What did you say when I was young? You said you would never change your heart in this lifetime, that even if I grew old, you would only love me!
I agreed to let you marry Liu Yunru and let her bear you a son. I even aborted my own child just to pave the way for you. How dare you betray me, you—
Old Madam Zhao raised her hand to slap Zhao Hongliang's face again, but her wrist was grabbed by him, and he forcefully threw her aside.
Old Madam Zhao fell to the ground. Due to her old age, her spine felt as if it was about to break, and she grimaced in pain.
Zhao Hongliang looked at the old and ugly Old Madam Zhao, and his stomach could not help but churn.
If she had successfully borrowed lifespan, he might still have some longing for her.
But now, she was as old as a rotten cucumber, dirty, smelly, and aged. How could he have any other thoughts about her?
Wen Yan told me to get a medical checkup, saying you had prepared a backup plan. What did you do to me?
Old Madam Zhao snorted coldly. An ungrateful man who betrays me will not meet a good end. Hongliang, as long as you serve me well, there is still time for everything.
Zhao Hongliang glared at the old woman with bloodshot eyes, then turned and left.
He drove to the hospital.
Halfway there, his stomach began to cramp with severe pain.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. With a pale face, he dialed for an ambulance.
After completing a series of tests, the doctor told him that he had been poisoned.
Moreover, the poison was extremely rare and required an antidote to recover.
Enduring the discomfort, Zhao Hongliang returned to the Zhao family home.
He knelt before Old Madam Zhao's bed. I still have you in my heart. I will never flirt with other women again. Please, give me the antidote!
Old Madam Zhao remained unmoved.
The speed at which she was aging was getting faster and faster. Just while Zhao Hongliang was on his way to the hospital, all her teeth had fallen out.
Now, the wrinkles and age spots on her face were comparable to those of a ninety-year-old woman.
She felt that she was suffering from a backlash!
Hongliang, go and invite Master Zhang over!
Looking at the old woman who had aged to a shocking degree, Zhao Hongliang immediately dialed Master Zhang's number.
Master Zhang had come to Hong Kong a year ago, and they had not contacted each other for a long time.
Zhao Hongliang failed to get through to Master Zhang's phone.
I will go look for Master Zhang personally. Hold on until I get back. I will find someone to come and take care of you!
Now that Liu Yunru was not at home, he could only hire a nanny to take care of her.
However, the nanny Zhao Hongliang hired was chased away by Li Liying, who had come looking for Zhao Hongliang.
Li Liying had already heard about what happened at the birthday banquet. She never expected that Old Madam Zhao, at such an advanced age, actually had an affair with Zhao Hongliang.
It was too shameless!
Li Liying went to Old Madam Zhao's room. As soon as she entered, she smelled a foul stench of urine.
Old Madam Zhao was lying weakly on the bed, having suffered from urinary incontinence.
Old Madam Zhao's eyes were cloudy. She could not see Li Liying's appearance clearly and only felt a figure approaching.
Are you the nanny Hongliang hired? Hurry up and change my pants and bedsheets! Having been accustomed to being served by Liu Yunru for so many years, Old Madam Zhao was bossy and arrogant.
Li Liying pinched her nose. She walked to the bed and pulled back the quilt with a look of disgust.
Old Madam Zhao thought the woman was going to change her pants, but the next second—
Ah! The aged voice let out an earth-shattering cry of pain.
Li Liying held a fine needle and stabbed it forcefully into the root of the old woman's thigh.
Why don't you look at how old you've become? You still want to monopolize Zhao Hongliang. What normal man would like an old hag like you who can't even control her own bowels?
If you really like Hongliang, you should die early to avoid dragging him down. Because of you, he has now become a joke in Hong Kong's high society!
As Li Liying spoke, she viciously pricked Old Madam Zhao with the needle.
Old Madam Zhao was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
Her voice was almost hoarse from screaming, but no one came to help her.
She finally waited until evening. When Zhao Yu returned, Old Madam Zhao seemed to see hope. She kept calling out, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu.
Zhao Yu pushed open the door to Old Madam Zhao's room. Smelling the stench inside, a flash of disgust crossed his eyes.
Li Liying carried a washbasin and pretended to come out of the bathroom. She looked at Zhao Yu with a gentle smile. Xiaoyu, you are back. Your dad and mom are divorced, so I came to your house to take care of your grandmother. You don't mind, do you?
Looking at the gentle and pretty Li Liying, the disgust on Zhao Yu's face instantly turned into flattery. Auntie Li, my grandmother is so smelly and dirty. Why don't you let the nanny do it? Don't dirty your pretty hands. If Qianqian finds out, she will blame me.
Li Liying smiled and shook her head. I have always treated you as my own son. When you and Qianqian grow up, I even want you to be my son-in-law. Now that you don't have a mother to love you, who will help you if I don't?
Hearing the word son-in-law, Zhao Yu looked extremely flattered. He bowed deeply to Li Liying. Auntie Li, I will definitely not let down your hopes. You are a really good person. From now on, I will also treat you as my own mother. I will go upstairs to rest first. If you need anything, you can call me anytime.
There is nothing much. I will take care of your grandmother, don't worry!
Zhao Yu ran upstairs, put on his headphones, and played games. Li Liying followed him up to take a look before returning to Old Madam Zhao's room to begin a new round of abuse.
Old Madam Zhao's face was covered in tears. She was tortured so much that she could not even let out a scream.
She suddenly missed Liu Yunru.
In the past, when her health was poor, Liu Yunru took care of her tirelessly, attending to every detail. Virtuous and considerate, she cooked different meals for her every day to supplement her nutrition.
When had she ever suffered such torture and abuse?
Old Madam Zhao was both hungry and in pain. She glared at Li Liying with bloodshot eyes. When Hongliang comes back, I will have him deal with you!
Zhao Hongliang went out to look for Master Zhang for two days but still could not find him.
When he returned home, Old Madam Zhao was preparing to complain, but Li Liying had already changed her into clean clothes and cooked porridge to feed her.
Old Madam Zhao turned her head away, refusing to eat. Li Liying forcefully fed a mouthful of scalding hot porridge to her lips. She was burned so badly that she used all her strength to knock the bowl of porridge over.
The porridge in the bowl happened to splash onto Li Liying's wrist, and Li Liying let out a cry of pain.
Hearing Li Liying's cry of pain, Zhao Yu and Zhao Hongliang both came over and scolded Old Madam Zhao.
Old Madam Zhao was so furious that she was instantly left with only a single breath hanging on.
Li Liying coaxed Zhao Yu out of the room. She pulled Zhao Hongliang into the bathroom and asked him to help her clean the scalded area.
Old Madam Zhao pricked up her ears to listen to the noises inside. Before long, she heard the heavy, inappropriate panting of a man and a woman.
How dare they do such a thing right under her nose—
Zhao Hongliang!
Old Madam Zhao dropped dead on the spot from sheer fury.
Wen Yan's words had all come true.
In exactly three days, Old Madam Zhao suffered a karmic backlash and kicked the bucket!
The moment Old Madam Zhao kicked the bucket, the most terrified person of all was none other than Zhao Hongliang, because the poison in his own body had yet to be cured!
