Chapter 5, the third time, she finally killed him.
How are you feeling today?
Should she answer "I'm fine" or "Feeling good"? It couldn't be something like, "Get lost, you son of a bitch! You're going to crush my head! Stop your crocodile tears!" She had to give the right answer, and she knew she didn't have much time to think.
"water……"
She succumbed to her desires, enduring the waves of darkness before her eyes, and gently raised her arm as if moving a machine, using her unbending fingers to hook his. The moment they touched, she felt a shiver. Before he revealed his true nature, she would derive pleasure from this action; now, she could only feel pain.
He gently stroked her head, like teasing a small animal, from her forehead to her cheeks to her chin. He moved his nimble fingers and reached out his hands from under her armpits, lifting her up like a doll.
He brought the still-steaming glass of water to her lips. She took a sip; it was very hot. Yet he continued to smile and his hands didn't stop moving. The scorching heat, like volcanic lava, poured into her throat.
"Cough cough cough..."
She pushed him with all her might, and the water glass fell to the ground with a thud, making a loud bang on the tiles. She glanced at him in alarm, then crawled to the ground using her only movable hand.
As her body slammed to the ground, her head followed, causing the IV needle to fall out and draw out a few drops of blood. Every movement brought her immense pain, yet she continued to kowtow.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! I'll never do it again!"
Her hair, already matted into clumps, was soaked with water, and splashes of water wet his trouser legs.
He clicked his tongue, his gentle expression turning frosty. He cleaned his trouser leg with a towel, unaware that she was gently hiding a piece of luminous glass in her right hand.
"You always give me such a headache. You do nothing at home and just add to my workload. Lick all the dirt off the floor for me."
Wen Xu's shoulders stiffened. Every time she thought Lu Heng had gone too far, he would find a new way to torment her.
Lu Heng was also puzzled. He saw the light in Wen Xu's eyes, which didn't resemble that of someone repeatedly tortured and humiliated, but rather that of a cheetah released into an arena, ready to tear at the enemy's throat at any moment. This feeling of being out of control infuriated Lu Heng.
Lu Heng casually remarked, "I just received a call from the hospital; your mother is in bad shape."
"mom……"
Wen Xu recalled his mother's face as she was tormented by illness at the end, and his entire upper body stiffened.
"I'm the one taking care of your mother now. Everyone says she'd be better off dead. I think if she really dies someday, no one will care."
Wen Xu cried uncontrollably, then obediently licked the ground, continuing even as her face was cut by broken glass. The water stained red, and her tongue turned red as well, but she absolutely could not stop.
Lu Heng stood beside her, his icy gaze fixed on her. Finally, he was certain that she offered no resistance, and his mood improved greatly. He picked up her thin, bony body and placed her head in his arms.
"If Xuxu were always this well-behaved, I wouldn't be so angry all the time. Don't worry, I'll find the best doctors for you and your mother." He touched her earlobe. "I'll help Xuxu wash..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Xu slit his throat.
Lu Heng futilely grabbed his neck, unable to stop the spurting blood. He stood up and ran towards the door, but fell to the ground in front of it.
Wen Xu struggled to her feet and took a step forward, but then knelt on one knee. After all, she weighed less than 40 kilograms, which made every step difficult for a 165cm tall woman. However, she felt lighthearted; she was finally free.
But Lu Heng moved slightly. She couldn't tell if it was his neck or his hand that moved, but she scrambled to his side and frantically swung the shard of glass at his neck, face, and exposed skin. But he was already dead; only lifeless wounds remained. She only stopped when the shard of porcelain in her hand was lodged in the bone of his neck, and then burst into laughter.
"You even tried to kill my mother! I'll teach you to threaten me!"
She finally killed him, instead of being killed by him. After being reborn twice, Wen Xu understood that Lu Heng did not love her, but only treated her as an object he possessed. He would take everything from her at the slightest dissatisfaction. She was not a gambler, nor did she have any intention of accepting his love, which he staked on like a gambler.
So this time, she decided to strike first; if she could kill Lu Heng, her future could be changed.
Wen Xu touched her sticky face and chuckled again. Wasn't this the very reason the gods gave her a chance to be reborn? Her laughter echoed throughout the house, but then her vision began to blur and her body felt lighter.
She couldn't laugh. As soon as that white light appeared, her body became lighter, and she was about to be reborn.
"The blood has turned black?"
"It's good enough that it's even visible! I knew she had a reason for hiding the glass shard in her hand! It really was meant to kill her husband."
"I thought she would use a needle."
"I thought she would use the chandelier. When she first woke up, she stared at the chandelier for a long time."
"Why did they remove both her breasts during this surgery? What am I supposed to watch then? Couldn't they have found a female lead with breasts?"
Wen Xu heard the discussion again, but this time it was about three men.
"Xuxu, you're spacing out again."
Qiao Shan waved her hand in front of her, and she saw that Qiao Shan had five-pointed star-shaped rhinestone nails. Qiao Shan was wearing a white patterned knit sweater and blue jeans, while she was wearing a black coat and holding a steaming coffee cup in her hands.
She jumped to the scene where she sought out Qiao Shan to discuss something after Lu Heng had attacked her.
She was reborn again. Even if she killed Lu Heng, could she not change anything? Was she destined to be trapped in the past where Lu Heng killed her time and time again? And what was with all those discussions? It felt like she was being stripped naked and shown to everyone.
She suddenly felt desperate and burst into tears. Large tears fell from her eyes, but she couldn't make a sound.
"Xuxu, what's wrong?"
Qiao Shan grasped her hand, only to find that her hand was trembling, and her whole body was shaking involuntarily.
"Xuxu, don't be afraid. You can tell me anything."
"Lu Heng wanted to kill me..."
"Kill you?"
Qiao Shan's expression was as if she had seen an alien. Wen Xu thought of her second life. She had already obtained evidence that Lu Heng had framed her, but the evidence was invalid, and the police did not believe her. Later, there were rumors that she had an affair in a hotel. Lu Heng became a pitiful husband with a green hat, while she was a gold digger who coveted his house, car, and savings.
It seemed as if some unseen hand was helping Lu Heng, pushing her towards death time and time again.
