Chapter 33: Mother Liang Catches Liang Chaosu In Her Room
“Our Yutong Academy is nothing fun. If you want to travel, there are several provincial 4A scenic spots, why come to our remote little county town?”
“To experience the local customs, scenic spots are all cold commercial models, and the things are ridiculously expensive.” Liancheng chuckled, “People like me, who are poor but want to have fun, of course need special travel methods. I’m alone, so I naturally need to prepare in more detail.”
Tai Duoduo giggled, as fellow poor people of the world, she could understand to some extent.
This time it had clearly aroused suspicion, so Liancheng knew when to stop and didn’t continue to inquire further.
She reflected that asking too many questions about Tai Duoduo being alone was too revealing of her purpose. There were twenty-seven people in the group, coming from all walks of life.
It would be better for her to ask about everyone’s hometown, and perhaps she could even expand her potential targets.
This way, even if Liang Chaosu found out, her true whereabouts could be confused.
………………
At seven in the evening, Mother Liang called Liancheng several times, urging her to come home; she couldn’t stay for overtime.
Liancheng’s heart was in turmoil. These past few days, Mother Liang’s gaze had been intense, making her tremble with fear.
Tonight’s phone call was practically a clear hint.
“I’m going to deal with you, don’t be ungrateful.”
She stepped into the living room just in time, and Aunt Wang greeted her, “Liancheng, Madam will be back soon, she wants you to wait for her in the room.”
Liancheng complied and went upstairs.
When she reached the door of her room, she froze. The door was ajar, pitch black and deep.
Liancheng’s scalp tingled. She always locked her door when she left, and besides her, only Liang Chaosu had the key.
She took a deep breath, pushed the door open, entered, and locked it.
The next second, as the light turned on, she was violently pressed against the door.
Without giving her a chance to react, he roughly grabbed her hands, held them above her head, and used his firm thighs to push open her lower body.
Liancheng couldn’t utter a sound before her lips were sealed, her tongue and mouth invaded.
First biting, then plundering.
Liancheng remembered Aunt Wang’s words, Mother Liang would be back soon.
She forcefully pushed against his tongue, trying to push him away, but to the man, it seemed like an extremely rare proactive gesture, making his heart flutter, and he became even more fierce.
Dominant, irrefutable, with a hint of barely perceptible melancholy and irritability.
Like a cruel tyrant.
Liancheng’s vision went black before she was slightly released, gasping for breath.
“Is your menstrual period over?” Liang Chaosu’s chest was like erupting lava, pressing against her.
Liancheng felt his hard, urgent threat.
For a moment, she gasped with difficulty, her mind racing, what should she do.
What should she do?
It had been almost half a month; if she continued to pretend, she would be courting death.
But if she answered no, he would immediately go crazy.
Cold sweat broke out on Liancheng’s forehead and temples, “Mother will be back soon—”
The man kissed his way down her neck, “The door is locked, she can’t get in.”
Can’t get in…
Liancheng knew it was inappropriate, but she couldn’t help but hate Liang Chaosu for being heartless and disloyal.
If Mother Liang knocked and she didn’t open the door for another minute, there would be questions. What was the point of delaying?
He always only cared about the pleasure of venting his desires, never considering her situation, just like the phone call in the car yesterday, he had to make it even though he knew it would arouse Mother Liang’s suspicion.
Although she didn’t know why he changed his words at the last moment, Liancheng wouldn’t foolishly believe it was out of consideration for her.
Liancheng pushed his head away, “Mother said she has something to find me for, she’ll be very angry if I don’t open the door.”
“In your heart, Mother is unreasonable?” He unceremoniously pulled open her lapel, revealing muscular chest and abdomen that were strong and full of aggression.
He bowed his head, looking down from above, enveloping her, blocking all her retreat, aggressively invading.
Liancheng blocked with her left and right hands, resisting his hands, “I didn’t mean to be disrespectful.”
Too distant.
Liang Chaosu paused his action of unbuckling his belt, his gaze fixed on her.
Suddenly calling her mother instead of mother, not retorting or resisting when bullied.
It was like she was a different person.
It wasn’t that she was obedient and well-behaved, but the yearning for attention and love, the eager expectation of belonging and recognition, had completely vanished.
“You resent Mother for treating you badly, and you’re afraid of me…” Liang Chaosu stopped moving, the passionate tide of emotion cooling and receding.
Sharp as a scalpel, he dissected her heart, “Do you feel the Liang family is no longer your home?”
Liancheng was not surprised that he had discovered this. Liang Chaosu was so sensitive and smart; it would be strange if he hadn’t noticed by now.
She just earnestly replied, “I have self-awareness now and will no longer have obsessive delusions.”
Liancheng thought this was the correct answer, in line with his warnings and lessons all along.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly gripped her tighter, his expression terrifyingly so.
His hard ribs pressed against her chest, as if wanting to poke through her, or perhaps to snap her, crushing her into a bloody pulp.
Suddenly, high heels trod the corridor outside the door, a heart-stopping sound.
Approaching from a distance, stopping a stone’s throw away, separated by a door.
Mother Liang’s voice, “Liancheng, open the door.”
Liancheng panicked. In her haste, she broke free from Liang Chaosu, her eyes frantically scanning the room for a place to hide.
This moment’s delay.
Mother Liang’s voice showed impatience. “Liancheng? Open the door quickly.”
Liancheng’s heart shrank into a ball, and her face turned ghastly white, layer by layer.
Yet Liang Chaosu stood there, not hiding or avoiding, gazing at her, and at the door behind her.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of being caught by Mother Liang.
These past few days, Liang Wenfei had talked about the taboo of the Gu family, and Mother Liang had sarcastically called the matriarch of the Gu family foolish.
Inheritance was related to the clan and could not afford any mistakes. They only needed to shift all the infamy onto the stepdaughter, arranging for public opinion to vilify her as vulgar and shamelessly seductive.
After the public relations team cleaned up the heir, they would decisively deal with the stepdaughter.
Noblewomen in high society had countless tricks, fighting battles without bloodshed.
Being missing without reason was the least of it; they feared she might suddenly be abducted by human traffickers and become a uterus beast.
By then, even if the heir of the Gu family went to find her, would a tarnished woman still be able to love deeply?
“Liancheng!” Mother Liang began to bang on the door.
A few breaths later, the doorknob turned, and the lock clicked with a stuttering sound.
The sound became more rapid and sharp.
She could delay no longer, Liancheng pulled up Liang Chaosu, and with all her might, dragged him towards the closet.
Unexpectedly, Liang Chaosu flung her hand away. His breathing was unsteady, his eyes deep and dark. He raised his hand and grasped the doorknob.
Liancheng was greatly alarmed. She lunged forward to hug his arm, but was once again thrown aside.
Her back hit the wall with a jarring pain, but it couldn’t compare to the endless chill that shot up from her feet, freezing her heart in an instant.
He was actually going to open the door…
Liancheng’s ears roared, all around her, turning into countless countdown bells, shattering her piece by piece.
Effortlessly, it dismantled all her efforts of self-rescue and struggle so far.
She had no time to escape.
She was finished.
The moment the door opened, Liang Chaosu’s figure was to the side of Mother Liang’s angry and impatient face.
Liancheng stared blankly as Mother Liang’s expression shifted from the annoyance of impending anger to immediate shock and disbelief.
Shock, disbelief, panic.
Then, suddenly, it pierced through her, dangerous, sharp, and unprecedentedly malicious.
Liancheng instinctively took a step back.
“Why are you in her room?”
Mother Liang uttered one word, and Liancheng’s body uncontrollably trembled.
