Chapter 53 The Old Witch

Su Jian was slapped, and half of her face quickly swelled red. She appeared exceptionally cold and indifferent. Throughout her life, she had detested this old woman. When she was young, Su Ming and Xu Zhiman were busy with their business and had no choice but to leave her and Su Rui at the Xu Family's home, under the care of Mrs. Xu.

In the presence of her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. Xu would pretend to be very loving towards Su Jian. But as soon as they left, her true colors showed. She would make the six-year-old Su Jian do all sorts of household chores, stand on a stool to wash dishes, kneel on the floor to wipe it, and even force her to wash clothes and bedsheets, often giving her a severe beating for little or no reason.

Mrs. Xu was ruthless and cunning in her actions, her methods flawless. No matter how she hit Su Jian, there would never be any marks left on her body, so Su Ming and Xu Zhiman never noticed anything wrong.
