They were still tied to the couch legs and couldn't move but they kept an eye on the living room entrance praying her Gu Huizhe arrives before the mad woman returns.
From her brother's tone he probably got the job, she wondered if her mom would still value her. If she no longer valued her she probably won't pay for this blisters after they received compensation.
No this won't do, she has to change mom's mind, turning to her mom she ignored the pain and smiled, "mom that was big brother now he called and asked about sister in law, he..."
"What sister in law?! If you brother still married her I would teach both of them a lesson"
Smiling she continued "Mom you phone is probably on silent because big brother is back and probably has good news. He must have called you first but missed you"
"That's why he tried calling sister in-law now, I am envious both you sister are first"
"What nonsense even if we are tied up my phone is on loud speaker, and not a single ring. After how many years I have invested on your brother this is what I got" the woman screeched her voice almost high pitched.
"He rather call that mad woman than his mother, did you tell him what she did and how she treated us" she asked exasperated.
Gu Erzi grinned finally the moment she has been waiting for "Mom he was on her side he even said we have to apologize to her, mom why would brother treat us this way for a mad woman even if she weren't mad we are family"
Now inside the bathroom, Shenyu kept break things, her heart aching, her mind blank and her eyes were more foggy.
Looking at the mirror, she didn't see her present self but a wither fat woman she looked so ugly to her. She wanted it gone and away.
Erzi was right she was disgusting, too disgusting.
Even she didn't like herself who could like her.
Although she hated Erzi she had to thank her for the purification method she taught her.
When she was suffering from serious depression from everything Erzi taught her about the Pain-pleasure purification, this was their only secret, apparently she had learnt it from a traveling monk and it did work.
Recalling the steps ingrained in her memory she recited it, cut your flesh until the physical pain erases the emotional one and fills the hole. Start from fingers and hands, repeat the mantra 'pain was pleasure'.
She only did the hands though that was enough. After this she would whip them and burn the place. That should kill them.
By then even if her heart held on she she would die from blood loss.
She broke the mirror with her hands and continued smacking her hands on the shards.
It's been a while now and she knew she should stop now and finish the plan but this felt so good when was the last time she felt such control over her body or life.
Finally she could control the pain she felt, how long to live and even when to die. After many years of not even controlling the food she ate or when she used the bathroom. She thought as tears flowed down her face.
She grinned and began laughing with tears still pouring down, she had the control now, even her enemies were under her control and she would end it all.
The neighbors still hanging around the door had long called the police because of the noise and screams. Gu Huizhe arrived and saw the police trying to force their way in.
He exclaims he got another key, immediately opening the door they rushes inside. The first 2 officers focused on releasing the women tied.
Another 2 followed the sound and found Shenyu surrounded by glass shards and still smashing her hand on them. Gu Huizhe following them sees her too.
Shocked he calls out to her telling her to stop, he tried rushing to her side but the officer stops him, "look her state of mind isn't good right now, we should approach carefully and then put her to sleep before taking her to the hospital"
Gu Huizhe paused and then agrees silently watching as the officers stealthly moves towards her. Immediately reaching her he knocks her out cold. Handing her to the Huizhe.
They informed him, the ambulance was here and they would go back the station with his mother to get her statement and would come to the hospital tomorrow to get the other two.
If nobody files, it would be closed if they did they would investigate.
They also suggested he get a therapist for her. Moving quickly an ambulance comes taking both Shenyu and Erzi(because of her burns).
The officers demand to take Gu mother, but frightened by them and everything that had happened 'faints'. To which another ambulance is called.
Both mother and daughter are placed in the same wards after refusing to stay with Shen yu.
Gu mother already planning compensation she would receive if not she would blow up the case.
Since they have torn each other faces there was no reason to pretend anymore. She had been nice to her calling her little darling and petting her for her huge inheritance.
Her heart hurt as she thought about, how much investment and care she has put on an abandoned orphan only for her to go crazy and attack her.
She must collect everything she invested plus interest as for that son, she hates his father and so dislikes him. If he wants to marry a deranged girl that was his business.
As long as she was given her compensation and filial piety money each month she would not meet him.
She married another man and planned to have a son but all she got was a daughter but she still named her Erzi.
She raised her to be a man and bring in a live in son law, so she must treat those blisters. If not how would she get a proper man.
After calculating her plan her eyes glinted viciously as she turned over to sleep.
