The Housewife O Made Me Become a Mom (GL) - Chapter 3: Sister Watches Me Get Beaten and Doesn’t Help, I Feel Wronged

Chapter 3: Sister Watches Me Get Beaten and Doesn’t Help, I Feel Wronged

Shu Qingyou originally hoped Lin Xu would quickly recover her memory and soon draw a clear line between them.

The longer she spent with Lin Xu, the more she worried about unexpected incidents.

When she first met Lin Xu, she was gentle as jade, friendly, and polite.

Even with a suggestion as hard to mention as being a kept woman, Lin Xu only comforted her.

“Miss Shu, perhaps we can try it first.”

Lin Xu used some patience and superficial affection.

She loved to pretend.

Bubbles eventually burst, and masks can’t last long. The real Lin Xu was violent and unreasonable.

Shu Qingyou felt she couldn’t interact with her too much and decided to use a highlight moment to provoke her.

After all, Lin Xu was conceited, arrogant, and deeply obsessed with money and power.

She waited for a while.

Lin Xu’s expression was complicated as she hesitantly returned the phone to her.

Shu Qingyou said, “The whole world knows your family’s company address.”

How could Lin Xu not hear the hidden meaning? Was she planning to go back on her word?

She used her old trick, looking pitiful with her lips turned down.

“But what can I do if I go back? I can’t remember anything. What if my family despises me? Also, the news said my mothers are all dead. I’m alone, relying on ruthless methods to dominate the business world. Seeing this makes my heart tremble.”

It wasn’t just empty talk. Lin Xu found the news described her as a devilish figure.

They exaggerated, saying she could turn clouds with one hand and rain with the other.

Cold air kept coming, and Lin Xu’s back was drenched in cold sweat.

“Sister, do you understand?”

Shu Qingyou breathed lightly, quietly observing Lin Xu.

The struggles of wealthy families and hidden secrets—Lin Xu never shared them with her.

But Lin Xu would take her to drinking parties, force her to drink, and make her smoke, choking her until tears streamed.

Whether she believed it or not, Shu Qingyou didn’t want to care too much.

Focusing on someone too long, no matter the relationship, makes it hard to let go.

She brushed it off.

“Yes, I understand.”

If Lin Xu were more sensitive, she might have noticed Shu Qingyou’s reluctant tone.

But when facing Shu Qingyou, she unexpectedly became less sharp and happily followed along.

Lin Xu silently thought:

Though this place is old and in a rural town, one must adapt to local customs.

She’d make do. After some self-comfort, Lin Xu felt much lighter.

Before the key could go into the lock, rapid footsteps came from behind the security door.

Both paused. Lin Xu hurriedly pulled Shu Qingyou behind her to protect her.

“Sister! You’re back…”

A girl’s voice burst out energetically from inside.

The door opened, revealing a pretty face with a high ponytail.

She wore a fern-green jacket, her smile as bright as a typical college girl’s, full of youthful energy.

Shu Wanning loudly complained, “Ugh, I’m already here, and you make me turn back. What’s that about…”

She spoke too fast, not yet seeing who was in front of her. Hearing her sister’s car, Shu Wanning had come to greet her.

Now, looking closely, she froze.

Lin Xu’s mind hadn’t caught up. She turned to ask Shu Qingyou.

“She called you sister? Is she your…”

Before she finished, her collar was grabbed tightly, her throat suddenly choked. Lin Xu had to brace herself with her heels.

Shu Wanning’s furious face appeared, her fist raised high.

Before Lin Xu could say half a word, a heavy punch landed on her cheek. She groaned and stumbled two steps.

“Crazy! Why are you hitting me!”

Shu Wanning seemed still unsatisfied, rushing at her again, her eyes blazing like she’d met her mother’s killer.

“Lin Xu! You beast, you dare show your face!”

What the hell? An undeserved disaster.

Her face stung, and her lip was bleeding.

Shu Qingyou just watched coldly, making Lin Xu’s chest feel even heavier.

“Shu Qingyou, this is your sister. She’s crazy, and you’re just watching the show!”

“Hah, watching the show? I’m watching how this idiot gets beaten to death by me.”

With that, Shu Wanning took a big step, slamming Lin Xu against the wall, her strong arm choking her airway.

Lin Xu realized things were bad. She grabbed Shu Wanning’s arm, her knee powering up for a kick.

Anticipating her move, Shu Wanning dodged.

She gritted her teeth, “Lin Xu, you really deserve to die!”

Crazy, absolutely crazy!

Lin Xu clutched her throat, gasping. She was furious, even more at Shu Qingyou for letting this crazy sister run wild.

“You, you better watch out, or I’ll call the police!”

“Go ahead, if you dare, we’ll go down together!”

Shu Wanning glared fiercely, as if wanting to burn a hole in Lin Xu’s face.

Lin Xu and Shu Wanning stared each other down, equal in height and intensity.

“Hey, Shu Qingyou.”

Depressed, she sought Shu Qingyou’s help but saw a face drained of color.

Shu Qingyou’s eyelashes trembled, her eyes lowered, hiding unease.

She tried hard to stay calm, hands behind her back, gripping her shaking left wrist.

“Shu Qingyou, what’s wrong with you?”

It felt familiar, and not the first time she’d seen this. Countless fragments flashed through Lin Xu’s mind.

A sudden headache hit, unstoppable, a ruthlessness she didn’t notice crossing her eyes.

Her body moved before her mind. As she reached for Shu Qingyou, a figure moved faster.

Shu Wanning shoved her away hard.

Lin Xu was stuck, her heart empty.

Shu Wanning said, “Sister, you’re…”

Shu Qingyou gave her a subtle look, and her words quietly stopped.

Shu Wanning spoke too fast, her anger with nowhere to go, nearly biting her tongue.

But worried about her sister’s health, she could only glare at the culprit, Lin Xu, lowering her voice.

“Get out of our house!”

Lin Xu’s eyes reddened, as if a treasure was stolen, but she was powerless.

Steadying herself, she snorted coldly.

“Your sister owes me money, you know?”

Her words darkened Shu Wanning’s face several shades.

Lin Xu gave up on herself.

“Ask Shu Qingyou, she admitted it herself.”

Her cheeks puffed out, like a pufferfish about to explode.

Shu Qingyou tiredly lifted her eyes, her expression unclear.

For some reason, Lin Xu felt a bit guilty. She boldly declared, “Tch, fine, I’ll leave. Who’s scared?”

Shu Wanning’s anger flared. She carefully helped Shu Qingyou inside, grinding her teeth.

“Sister, look at her. Four years ago, she abandoned you, and now she shamelessly shows up. Worse than a beast!”

Sinking into the soft sofa, closing her eyes to steady her breath, Shu Qingyou’s left hand stopped trembling. She opened her eyes, lips slightly parted.

“Rongrong?”

Shu Wanning noticed her sleeping niece had come out.

At the doorway, a timid little figure hugged a penguin toy, too scared to approach.

Looking frightened, Shu Wanning quickly picked her up, soothing her gently.

“It’s okay, Rongrong, don’t be afraid. Just now, Auntie was beating a bad person.”

Rongrong seemed to half-understand. She was woken by the noise and saw her aunt beating a bad sister at the open door.

She’d seen the bad sister’s photo on her aunt’s phone.

Each time, her aunt told her this was a big villain.

Shu Qingyou softly laughed, patting her daughter’s head, “Bad person?”

“Hmph, what else? If Rongrong weren’t so young and couldn’t understand complex words, I’d have a good rant about her.”

The spirited girl proudly raised her head, seeking her sister’s praise.

“How was I, Sister? Pretty impressive, right?”

Shu Qingyou’s lips curved slightly. Her sister was a Beta, in her fourth year at Haicheng University, preparing for an internship.

She’d complained about study struggles and the stress of writing papers.

But never mentioned the hardship of part-time jobs after starting college.

Back then, the sisters faced a life upheaval. Their family company went bankrupt, their mother died unexpectedly.

Their pottery studio, open for just two years, collapsed. Everything they owned was sold or mortgaged.

Yet they still owed tens of millions.

Her only option was to sell herself to a pleasure house, as an Omega’s first marking was valuable.

But not valuable enough.

Unbelievably, it was the barely adult Lin Xu who offered to keep her, giving another choice.

Rongrong sensed her mom’s sadness, quietly leaning closer, silent.

The warm, soft presence brought Shu Qingyou’s thoughts back.

She loved Rongrong dearly. Her daughter was perfect. When pregnant, aside from early morning sickness, Rongrong never kicked or fussed.

But Rongrong’s health, like Shu Qingyou’s as a child, was frail, often catching colds.

At three, she still couldn’t speak full sentences.

Shu Qingyou hugged Rongrong, explaining seriously to Shu Wanning, including the doctor’s diagnosis.

“Wanning, Lin Xu lost her memory.”

Hearing this, Shu Wanning made a disgusted face.

“So what?”

She was skeptical. Lin Xu, heir to the Lin Group, always had bodyguards. A concussion causing amnesia? A huge joke, probably self-orchestrated to harass her sister.

“Then send her back. Why let her stay here? And how could she say we owe her money? Sister, you’re too spineless.”

She knew her sister was mostly bluffing Lin Xu, but she couldn’t stand Shu Qingyou defending her.

Shu Qingyou said, “Don’t worry, I can handle her.”

Handle her? Don’t get yourself trapped. Shu Wanning pouted, completely distrustful.

Since her sister defended that jerk, pressing further was pointless.

“Wanning, I feel unwell. Can you get my medicine?”

Shu Wanning’s face darkened, her heart aching.

“Look, she shows up, and you get sick. Don’t tell me you’re hurting your left hand again.”

She’d accidentally noticed this.

At first, seeing the obvious scars on her sister’s left wrist, she assumed Lin Xu did something despicable.

She couldn’t forgive Lin Xu for daring to hit someone.

Shu Qingyou stopped her, telling the truth.

Because of Lin Xu, she once couldn’t think straight and did something childish and foolish four years ago, harming herself.

After that, Shu Qingyou had surgery to remove the marking.

Shu Qingyou smiled calmly, “It’s fine. Last time, okay?”

“Fine, Sister, you’re weirdly confident.”

Shu Wanning expertly got the medicine and handed her tea.

Watching her sister take the medicine, her gaze shifted to Rongrong, and she couldn’t help but ask.

“What about Rongrong?”
