Caught in a chaotic situation, she is doted on by six villainous sons.

Chapter 96 Extorting Him

Jiang Liwu, who had just sat up, felt even worse. "My head hurts... let me sleep."

"Drink the hangover soup before you go to sleep, otherwise your head will hurt even more tomorrow." Si Mocheng coaxed as he fed the hangover soup to his lips.

Jiang Liwu's eyes were still closed. Instinctively, she didn't want to drink it and turned her head away, but Si Mocheng patiently let her lips touch the soup.

The hangover soup was surprisingly delicious, with a sweet aroma of various fruits. The flavor was a blend of apple, orange, tangerine, watermelon, grape, bayberry, lemon slices, honey, and other ingredients, resulting in a refreshing sweet and sour taste.

Lin Qingwan's eyes were filled with complex emotions. This was originally prepared for Si Mocheng. Seeing Si Mocheng gently coaxing and taking good care of Jiang Liwu, Lin Qingwan felt a pang of bitterness and tenderness in her heart.

She had never seen Si Mocheng like this before.

Did Jiang Liwu steal Si Mocheng's heart as soon as she appeared?

Si Mocheng received a call from Fu Siyue, "Yes, she's with me. She'll be staying here from now on."

Fu Siyue corrected him, "It's temporary. And didn't you say she wasn't your stepmother but an imposter? So what are you doing now?"

Si Mocheng paused for a moment, then curled his lips and scoffed, "Fu Siyue, don't provoke me. I haven't settled accounts with you for what you hid from me yet. But I'll let it go now because you're my older brother."

Fu Siyue: "Take good care of her."

After hanging up the phone, Si Mocheng gazed at the person sleeping soundly with flushed cheeks, and reached out to trace every inch of their deep and beautiful features from a distance. "Are you really my stepmother?"

Si Mocheng asked this question without expecting anyone to answer him, because he already had the answer in his heart.

He gently took Jiang Liwu's hand and pressed it against his forehead and face. He could no longer contain the greed and longing in his eyes, and the suppressed emotions overwhelmed him like a tide.

Si Mocheng's eyes reddened, and he called out softly, "Stepmother..."

"Mother……"

"No matter what happened back then, or how you survived, promise me you'll never leave again."

……

Despite drinking the hangover soup, Jiang Liwu still had a headache, a bitter expression, and an upset stomach when she woke up the next day.

These symptoms, which are hundreds of times more severe, are what her two children have been experiencing for the past twenty years. Thinking of this, Jiang Liwu felt a pang of heartache.

When she got up, she found Si Mochen holding her hand, asleep against the bedside.

The moment Si Mocheng pulled his hand away, he instinctively tightened his grip. Then, as if a treasure had been snatched away, he opened his eyes in an instant. He looked exhausted, and his discomfort was no less than Jiang Liwu's. However, he still paid attention to Jiang Liwu's condition immediately. When he saw that she was awake, he immediately got up and instinctively massaged her head with both hands to relieve her pain and discomfort.

Jiang Liwu let him hold her down, and noticing the attitude of the person in front of her, she blinked, "Xiao Cheng, you took me home and took care of me all night?"

Si Mocheng's actions came from the heart, but when he met Jiang Liwu's smiling and bright eyes, he stiffened for a moment, withdrew his hand, and unconsciously spoke with a stubborn and arrogant tone, "Since you said that, how could I not bring you back? If something really happens to you, I will be the first suspect. I took care of you because you would be unconscious and drink for me. I was afraid that if you had health problems, you would be able to extort money from me."

Jiang Liwu chuckled and hummed, "Too late."

"What?" Si Mocheng didn't understand.

"I've already got him." Jiang Liwu said, weakly hugging herself. "Ah, my head hurts so much, my throat hurts, my stomach hurts, my hands hurt, my legs hurt, everything hurts. I won't get better if I don't stay here for a few more days." Jiang Liwu lay weakly on the bed, hugging her pillow tightly, her eyes innocent yet cunning, looking like she was determined to get Si Mocheng.

She made her claim so openly that Si Mocheng was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't help but worry when he heard her say that, because he believed her.

"Hmph, I knew it. Well then, you can stay here until you're completely healed."

"By the way, do you remember what you said last night?"

Jiang Liwu sat up cross-legged, trying hard to recall, but she had no memory of what happened after the alcohol took effect. "Last night...?"

Si Mocheng narrowed his eyes. "You called him your boyfriend."

Jiang Liwu looked terrified, threw the pillow at her second son, and stood on the bed with her hands on her hips, looking very energetic. "Nonsense! You're my second son, just like my own son. How could I possibly call my son's boyfriend?!"

"Little Chengcheng, it's one thing for you to say one thing but mean another, but why are you lying?"

Si Mocheng caught the pillow, his face darkening. "You're not calling me."

Jiang Liwu breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at him, "But I can't call anyone else either."

"You're calling for Shang Tingyan."

Jiang Liwu froze, her expression immediately becoming somewhat unnatural, which Si Mocheng noticed. "Are you and him really in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"

"Were you deceived by him?" Si Mocheng felt extremely uncomfortable. In his mind, his stepmother was a goddess, and everyone else was just a mortal. No matter how outstanding Shang Tingyan was, he was still just a pheasant. How could a pheasant be worthy of a phoenix from the heavens?!

"He and I are just ordinary acquaintances, not boyfriend and girlfriend." Jiang Liwu's thick, long eyelashes cast a dark blue shadow, concealing the subtle complexity in her eyes.

"Besides, don't you think I'm a conman? How could a conman like me be fooled?"

Si Mo Cheng: "..."

Jiang Liwu sniffed herself. Because she hadn't showered, she could still smell a faint scent of alcohol after a night. She frowned and looked disgusted with herself. "I need to take a shower."

In the bathroom, she scratched her head in front of the mirror, "I really shouldn't drink alcohol."

Jiang Liwu ate her breakfast of rock sugar pear and barley porridge, which was warming to the stomach and good for the throat. She enjoyed it very much.

Lin Qingwan secretly observed Jiang Liwu's exposed skin and lips for any abnormalities. Seeing no suspicious marks, her aching heart finally calmed down. Jiang Liwu hadn't left Si Mocheng's room all night, and she had assumed the two of them had done something.

She soon felt bitter again, because just because she hadn't done anything now didn't mean she wouldn't do anything in the future.

She already knew that Jiang Liwu would also be staying in Lingshui Bay from now on.

Indeed, Jiang Liwu's target was Si Mocheng. Once she got the chance, how could she not try to keep him?

Si Mocheng has no interest in food, no matter how delicious it is.

He eats to live, but when he has an attack, he will vomit up food that has entered his mouth or even reached his stomach.

Looking at the food, he would have one illusion after another, always seeing red and black cockroaches with swaying antennae, dead rats surrounded by flies and mosquitoes, and maggots that were white and green, densely covering the rotting flesh and constantly writhing and twisting.
