Chapter 150 The Events of That Year
The angry look on the person in front of her made Ning Ya happy, but she quickly suppressed her smile.
“As you two drifted apart, I thought my chance had come, but who knew you would get pregnant!” Ning Ya’s face turned ferocious. “With a child, you might get back together, how can I tolerate that?”
She looked at the person in front of her with malice, "Since this child might cause trouble, of course I can't let him live. But you're really lucky, you dodged my attacks several times."
After several unsuccessful attempts, Ning Ya finally gave up temporarily, fearing that if she tried too many times, people would notice something amiss.
After An Sheng gave birth, Ning Ya used the same trick again, sowing discord between the two of them, and at the same time buying drugs from the black market and having them injected into An Sheng while she was asleep.
This drug is not immediately fatal, but its effects are insidious, gradually eroding the body's nervous system. Over time, the victim's previously normal thinking becomes confused, concentration becomes difficult, and memory deteriorates significantly.
This kind of mental torment can plunge a person into extreme anxiety and fear, making them suspicious of everything around them, even their closest loved ones. Under such psychological pressure, the poisoned person will eventually lose their mind completely and teeter on the edge of madness.
Just as Ning Ya had guessed, An Sheng became more sensitive and suspicious, and looked extremely haggard. These symptoms would only lead people to believe that she had postpartum depression.
Her condition made Lin Yu even more upset, and gradually, he visited her less and less.
Her husband's neglect, coupled with the ravages of the medication, caused An Sheng's health to deteriorate, and she eventually passed away when her son was one year old.
Upon hearing this, Lin Shushu dug her fingers into her flesh, drawing blood, but she was completely unaware.
The tragedy of the grandmother was partly due to the personalities of both she and Lin Yu. Their lack of trust in each other and their tendency to keep things to themselves ultimately led to the breakdown of their relationship.
However, the culprit behind her grandmother's death was Ning Ya. If it weren't for her, even if her grandmother and Lin Yu separated due to a breakdown in their relationship, she wouldn't have died at such a young age.
Having revealed the secret she had kept for many years, Ning Ya seemed to have resigned herself to her fate. "I did it. You can come after me for my life, but my children are innocent. I hope you can spare them."
"You dare to claim innocence? How did you treat An Sheng's descendants?" Lin Shushu angrily questioned upon hearing her request.
If Lin Yu hadn't still retained a shred of responsibility as a father and sent trusted confidants to protect Lin Cheng'an, he probably would have died at Ning Ya's hands before he even came of age.
And the original owner of this body—what did a little girl have to do with her, yet she couldn't tolerate her and even sent her to a desolate planet. If I hadn't come, I'm afraid her remains would have been lost forever.
"An Sheng...you, you're not her? Then who are you?" Ning Ya belatedly realized what was happening. She looked at Lin Shushu in horror, then suddenly remembered something. "You're that girl?"
Lin Shushu didn't answer, but just looked at her coldly, then waved her hand and dispelled the illusion array.
Ning Ya blinked, surprised to find herself back in her familiar bedroom. However, the pain in her body reminded her that what she had just experienced was not a dream.
Just as she was about to call for help, she looked up and found that her bedroom was now filled with people.
Meeting the reproachful looks from her children, and seeing Lin Yu's bloodshot eyes and resentful expression as if he wanted to devour her, Ning Ya knew that they had heard everything she had just said.
Feeling a little guilty, she looked away and glanced at Lin Shushu, who stood gracefully to the side. It must have been her. What methods did she use to make her mistakenly believe she was An Sheng, and even bring up what happened back then in front of everyone?
Yes, before using the illusion array on Ning Ya, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze had brought over all the active masters of the Lin family, including Lin Yuting and Lin Yuwan who had married out.
She wanted to settle things once and for all, and tonight would be the end of it. She didn't want to waste too much time and energy dealing with them.
After bringing these people here, Mo Ze used his spiritual power to imprison them, rendering them unable to move or speak.
Although Ning Ya was pulled into the illusion array, she actually stayed in her own room the whole time. The illusion array only works on the person in question. The things that the person in the illusion array does and says are seen and heard by everyone present.
Mo Ze thoughtfully recorded everything using his quantum computer.
Lin Shushu waved her hand, removing the restraints on these people.
Upon realizing he could move again, Lin Yu was the first to rush forward, slapping Ning Ya's face several times until it swelled up and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing this, Ning Ya's children wanted to step forward to stop her, but under Lin Shushu's deep, cold eyes, they all shrank back and dared not make any further moves.
They knew their mother deserved her fate. Since they couldn't stop it, they all turned their heads away, unable to bear watching. But the sound of their mother's screams continued, and they were at a loss for what to do.
Lin Shushu watched all of this indifferently, completely unconcerned about what was happening.
Lin Yu only stopped when he was tired of hitting her. By then, Ning Ya's face was swollen like a pig's head, covered in blood, looking both pitiful and terrifying.
Lin Yu turned to look at Lin Shushu, his granddaughter whom he had never cared about. He opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately said nothing. He realized that he didn't even know her name.
At this moment, he seemed to realize just how wrong he had been, both to An Sheng and to her son and granddaughter.
Lin Shushu ignored the guilt in his eyes. Who was she going to show her regret to now? The person he had wronged the most was no longer there. She couldn't forgive anything on behalf of the deceased, and she herself would not accept his advances.
She stayed there simply to see what he would do after he learned the truth.
"You... I have no objection to how you want to deal with her," Lin Yu finally said.
"Dad! No!" Upon hearing this, the children stopped pretending not to hear anything and stepped forward to stop him, taking the opportunity to secretly glance at their mother's current appearance.
When they saw Ningya's miserable state, the group felt a pang of pity and became even more opposed to their father's decision.
My mother has already been beaten to this state by my father. If she is subjected to any further punishment, she will die.
Lin Yu remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Lin Shushu. Seeing this, the others knew their father was determined; now, the one who could decide their mother's fate was this niece before them.
"My dear niece, my mother is already in this state, could you please just let her go?" Lin Chenghui pleaded, and the others also looked at Lin Shushu with pleading expressions.
"Why do you think I would forget my hatred and let her go? Shouldn't you be worried about yourselves now?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the group changed drastically.
Yes, Ningya is their mother, and as the children of their enemy, why should they think they deserve forgiveness?
Lin Chenghui, in particular, was overcome with grief when he thought of his children.
His own children were the first to be targeted for revenge, and he couldn't look Lin Shushu in the eye; he feared he would fight her to the death at any moment. However, the root of all this was his own mother, and he found it even more unacceptable that his children were suffering because of her.
"Child, can you please not involve them in Ningya's matter?" Although Lin Yu was not close to his children, he still did not want to see them implicated.
"What, you also think they are innocent? Yes, they are indeed innocent, but you are not innocent. In fact, you are Ning Ya's accomplice."
Lin Shushu spoke coldly, ruthlessly pointing out this fact.
Lin Yu trembled and stood there stunned, unable to refute.
