Chapter 603: Murder

With a grim face, she demanded an answer from Qin Xiaoyue.

“This is my home, so I can do whatever I like with it. Even if I were to demolish or sell it, you have no right to interfere. Why do I need your permission? Why do I have to ask your approval?”

“Y-you! Who do you think you are? How can you do this to us?”

Ye Shuyun was lounging at home peacefully when this woman barged into her house out of a sudden to scream at her. Not only was her face covered with Qin Xiaoyue’s saliva, that woman even broke her mug.

What do they think of me? Who do they think they are? She would continue on the renovation even if Lu Yuanyang was here, not to mention Qin Xiaoyue. She was determined to renovate the house and no one could stop her.

Qin Xiaoyue gasped, feeling utterly betrayed. For her entire life, she had always been bullied. Now, she did not even have a place to stay.

“This is my house!” Qin Xiaoyue howled.

Ye Shuyun smiled contemptuously, “If this is your house, then is your name on the deed of the house? Feel free to procure a copy of the deed and show it to me. You’ve been leeching off of this house for 30 years. Are you going to continue staying in it for the rest of your life too?”

“Listen, Qin Xiaoyue. I’m renovating this house for my future grandchildren. Even if I’m not staying in this house, I would rather tear it down than hand it to you,” Ye Shuyun said authoritatively. She was no longer her old and weak self, and she was willing to go all out to achieve her goal. She knew that she no longer had to maintain a good relationship with the branch family. Not only were they living in her house, they even had the audacity to point their fingers at her. Either she was crazy, or they were.

Unless Ye Shuyun had an unsound mind, she would not want to look at Mei Zhi and the Su Family everyday. Did the Su Family think that Ye Shuyun’s life was too easy and wished to create more problems for her?

She turned around and intended to leave the scene, regardless of how aggressive and hostile Qin Xiaoyue was.

At that moment, Qin Xiaoyue was trembling with fury. Her eyes were bloodshot, resembling the eyes of a venomous snake.

All of a sudden, she charged after Ye Shuyun and advanced toward the staircase too. Ye Shuyun, who had just arrived at the mouth of the staircase, was caught off guard when Qin Xiaoyue pulled her hair from behind.

“Mei Zhi, quick! Help me,” Qin Xiaoyue yanked at Ye Shuyun’s hair with strenuous effort, almost ripping her scalp off.

Mei Zhi promptly went forward and joined the catfight. She remembered the slap from Ye Shuyun back then and was still resentful about it, so she attacked Ye Shuyun viciously because of that grudge.

Although Ye Shuyun was fearless, she had been living an idle and leisurely lifestyle for the past few years. Now, despite her fierce and loud voice, she was no longer capable of fighting Mei Zhi, who was rough and violent. Moreover, Mei Zhi also had Qin Xiaoyue backing her up.

Tears fell from her eyes as she tried her best to endure the agony of her hair being ripped off her scalp.

To add fuel to fire, Qin Xiaoyue started to kick her aggressively.

“Go to hell!” Qin Xiaoyue gave Ye Shuyun an abrupt shove. Ye Shuyun lost her balance and toppled down the staircase. As she aged, her bones grew weaker and more brittle. Her body could no longer withstand much impact. When Ye Shuyun’s body hit the staircase, she felt an intense pain course through her body from the point of collision. She could not do anything but to roll down the staircase.

Yan Huan was holding a bag of cat food in her hand, as Little Bean was running out of food. Therefore, she had bought a bag of cat food for Little Bean and delivered it here personally. Although Little Bean could be fed with something else, cat food was its favorite and it provided better nutrition. Moreover, it was very convenient. They only had to feed Little Bean a random handful of cat food and there would be no worry about Little Bean’s meals for the rest of the day.

Of course, Little Bean loved this brand of cat food and had been eating it for three years. It had grown up from an adorable little kitten to a chubby cat, but it had never gotten bored of having the same food everyday.

Yan Huan arrived at the front door, noticing that the door was left ajar.

Hmm, why is the door open? Usually Ye Shuyun will close the door because she was afraid that the cat will run away. Hence, she will usually not leave the door ajar.

Did she forget to close the door?

Without thinking too much about it, she entered the house and was immediately faced with a commotion.

“Mom!”

She called out, but her next words died in her throat. Her pupils contracted, appalled by the scene before her.

“Mom!” She dropped the cat food on the floor when she saw Ye Shuyun rolling down the staircase, about to hit her head on the floor.

Without hesitation, she rushed to the staircase, trying to catch Ye Shuyun. However, the momentum was too great.

Being too skinny, Yan Huan was unable to withstand Ye Shuyun’s weight and fell backwards onto the floor.

She held on to Ye Shuyun tightly. After all, she had undergone military training and was equipped with basic self defense skills. She reacted almost instinctively as she lurched backward by angling her body to fall on the floor in a way that spread the impact as much as possible. This action would prevent the worst case scenarios, such as hitting the ground head first.

She heard a crack, as though something had snapped.

Stunned, Qin Xiaoyue and Mei Zhi stood still on the stairs as they held their breath.

Qin Xiaoyue stared at her own hands. She was in disbelief, shocked by what she had done. I didn’t do this on purpose. No, I didn’t push Ye Shuyun down the stairs. Ye Shuyun fell down by accident. That’s right, Ye Shuyun fell down by accident. I’m not responsible for this. After all, no one died. Of course, Mei Zhi made a smarter choice. She took a step backward, directing the blame at Qin Xiaoyue.

Whether Ye Shuyun was dead or alive, it had nothing to do with her.

Ye Shuyun laid on the floor in silence. Her eyes were open but she was unable to speak.

At that moment, Yan Huan felt a sharp pain in her arm. Her face paled and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Qin Xiaoyue and Mei Zhi quickly ran down the stairs and escaped from the house like cowards.

“Meow…” Little Bean approached Ye Shuyun and pawed at her face gently. Then, it ran toward Yan Huan and placed its paw on the back of her hand.

Yan Huan endured the pain as she took out her phone, hoping that her phone had not broken in the fall.

She heaved a sigh of relief after she took a look at her phone. Fortunately, her phone was still working. She first dialed 120, emergency number. Then, she rang Lu Yi.

“Lu Yi, I got injured at mom’s place…” She glanced at her arm as she spoke while sweat continued to drip from her forehead.
