Chapter 680: Chapter 683: You Are Lying to Me

Hua Manman didn’t know how the Main God would react upon discovering the Three-colored Cat.

She instinctively felt tense and uneasy.

Mr. Zhu followed her gaze to the top of the wall, only to find it completely empty.

He couldn’t help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

Hua Manman froze for a second, then it dawned on her—

’The Main God can’t see the Three-colored Cat!’

Although she didn’t know why, she inwardly breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She feigned ignorance. "What?"

Mr. Zhu stared at her, his eyes filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

"You can’t see what’s on the wall?"

Hua Manman continued to play dumb. "Is there something on the wall? I had no idea."

Mr. Zhu said, "If you couldn’t see it, why were you looking up at the wall?"

"How should I know?"

She had made up her mind to deny it no matter what.

Mr. Zhu’s expression gradually turned cold.

With a wave of his hand, the scene before them vanished, and they were once again back in the dim, cramped rental house.

Hua Yusen was drunk again. When Song Yixian tried to persuade him to drink less, he slapped her across the face.

"I’m killing myself out there to support you two useless pieces of shit! So what if I have a few drinks? What right does a worthless thing like you have to boss me around?!"

A young Hua Manman tried to protect her mother, only to be viciously kicked by Hua Yusen.

Her small body fell to the ground in a heap.

She curled into a ball from the pain, unable to get up for a long time.

Even after so many years, seeing this scene again made Hua Manman feel deeply unsettled.

Unable to bear watching any longer, she turned her head away.

But the cries of Song Yixian and the little girl bored into her ears relentlessly, punctuated by the sounds of Hua Yusen’s curses and blows.

Everything only stopped when Hua Yusen grew tired of hitting them.

In the dead of night, Song Yixian quietly pushed open her door.

Clutching the only cash they had in the house, she secretly left the home that had brought her nothing but misery.

Meanwhile, a young Hua Manman was standing by her bedroom window.

Through the window, she could clearly see her mother’s figure receding into the distance.

Several times, she wanted to open her mouth and call out to her mother, but she stopped herself each time.

She did nothing, simply watching as her mother left her behind.

Watching this scene, emotions long buried deep inside Hua Manman were stirred. The familiar loneliness of being abandoned enveloped her once more.

’She didn’t want her mother to go, but she knew that this family would only bring her mother misfortune.’

’Only by leaving would her mother have a chance at happiness again.’

’As for her... she could only sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire.’

A whisper from the Main God echoed in her ear.

"Even your own mother, the one who gave birth to you, abandoned you in the end.

In this world, no one will ever truly love you, and no one will ever stay by your side.

Neither familial love nor romantic love can be trusted.

You have to live for yourself.

So what if you’re selfish? So what if you have to be unscrupulous?

When you were in dire straits, no one helped you. Why should you care whether others live or die?"

The little girl by the window was crying silently.

Tears streamed endlessly down her cheeks.

After a long while, she finally couldn’t hold back any longer and whispered, "Mama."

The woman outside seemed to sense something, her steps faltering for a moment.

But she didn’t look back. She quickly resumed her pace, walking farther and farther away until she vanished from sight.

Hua Manman looked away, unable to bear the sight.

The Main God said, "Why did you let her go?

"She’s your mother, yet not only did she fail to protect you, she abandoned you.

"You should have woken your father and had him drag her back.

"It’s too lonely to be in hell by yourself. You need someone to keep you company, right?"

Its words were like the whispers of a demon, intensely seductive.

They easily dredged up the darkest, most ineffable emotions from the depths of the human heart.

Even with Hua Manman on full guard, her resolve couldn’t help but waver.

She felt her thoughts being influenced and controlled by the Main God.

She was becoming less and less like herself.

Hua Manman quickly covered her ears, not wanting to hear his voice.

But it was useless.

Even when she clamped her hands tightly over her ears, the Main God’s words still reached them with perfect clarity.

She had no choice but to listen.

When Hua Yusen woke up and discovered his wife had run away, he flew into a rage.

He grabbed his daughter as she was about to leave for school and questioned her fiercely.

"Where’d your mom go? Tell me, now!"

The little girl trembled in fear. "I... I don’t know."

Not getting the answer he wanted, Hua Yusen lost all reason in his fury.
