《Marriage in Corrosive Love》C22. Mrs. Mu Had Left
Advertisement
Mu Linxuan fell down as soon as he walked out of ICU.
He was not in the mood of treatment of his wound, which had festered. Besides, he had not slept for a while after Shen Qingkong was sent into hospital. He kept his chin up, and he had been mentally and physically exhausted.
It was half a month later when Mu Linxuan’s condition was improved.
Nanny Wu almost cried due to happiness. She was really worried about Mu Linxuan. She packed the nutritious soup she had boiled for hours, and rushed to the hospital.
Mu Linxuan searched behind Nanny Wu, and asked, “Where is Mrs. Mu? Didn’t she come with you?”
Nanny Wu stood still. Staring at Mu Linxuan, she said carefully, “Mrs. Mu had gone. Don’t you remember that?”
She had gone...
Mu Linxuan said, “I remember.”
He said nothing more. He covered all his emotions with the indifferent handsome face, giving off indifferent and isolated sense, as well as the high rack and the... loneliness.
...
Five years later.
Rhine Town.
Chen Cheng sent Shen Qingkong to the platform, and did not want to leave, “Teacher Shen, I think I’d better go with you. I’m afraid that Lin Sisi may do something bad to you for money.”
Shen Qingkong frowned and said, “Teacher Chen, please do not describe his mother like this in front of the kid. It will hurt him.”
Anyway, Lin Sisi was the own mother of Beibei.
“I did not mean to do so.” Seeing the little boy who was staring at him in a defensive way behind Shen Qingkong, Chen Cheng said in a regretful way. “I’m sorry Beibei. It’s my fault.” Then he could not help persuading her, “Teacher Shen, it’s not safe for you to go there with a little boy.”

It was a tragedy for the birth of Lin Anbei.
His mother was dissolute and peacockish, and was lost in the colorful world after she arrived in the big city, and became a fancy woman soon.
Later, she got pregnant surreptitiously. Instead of becoming the wife of that man, she intended to acquire large amounts of compensatory payment from the man by following the example of an actress of Hong Kong.
But she did not expect that the wife of the man was so fierce and tough. She did not give Lin Sisi a penny. Instead, she ruined the face of Lin Sisi.
Helplessly, Lin Sisi could not abort, and she had to give birth to the baby. Lin Sisi’s character was greatly changed after such experiences. She transferred her hate to the baby, and abused him and beat him frequently.
Lin Anbei should have been dead for beating or starvation if villagers did not give material assistance to him.
Three years ago, Shen Qingkong went to the village and worked as a teacher. She was distressed to Lin Anbei after knowing his conditions. Therefore, she took Lin Anbei home and raised him.
Lin Sisi was tired about the child, and she got some money from Shen Qingkong frequently. So Lin Sisi did not care.
The peaceful life was broken until several days ago.
Lin Sisi loved gambling, and owed gambling debts. She sold the house and the land in her family, but that was not enough. She intended to sell the lovely Lin Anbei to the gambling house to repay the debt.
After accompanying of several years, Shen Qingkong liked Lin Anbei so much, and did not allow Lin Sisi to do so. Lin Sisi said she would sell Lin Anbei to Shen Qingkong as long as Shen Qingkong gave her one million yuan.

Shen Qingkong agreed without hesitation.
The news was spread into the whole town soon, giving rise to a great disturbance.
One million yuan was really a big deal of money, and most ordinary residents would not see so much money for their whole lives.
Chen Cheng was confused why Shen Qingkong had so much money.
Thanks everyone very much; your support is really greatly appreciated. We will try our best to provide steady updating. ❤❤❤❤

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Scamming an old friend at a game of cards? Robbing travelers? Committing... Well... Genocide? Perfectly reasonable means to become the greatest bounty hunter alive! Though, once Tenner broke out of his neighborhood - a prison isolated from the rest of the world - things didn't all go according to plan. He didn't expect that the world was a wasteland. He didn't expect creatures, hungry for juicy human flesh, to live in that wasteland. He certainly wasn't ready for Realms, massive sphere cities run by mysterious Workers, and their mad priests. On top of all that, the ghosts of his past wouldn't let go of him... This was going to be one hell of a journey. Updated twice a week Volume 1 is finished. Volume 2 is running.
