Chapter 1070: Nightmare Recollection
Xiang Qiuchi walked back and sat down again.
He said, "Okay, then you talk and I listen. Don't force yourself. If you feel you can't continue, you can stop at any time..."
Xiang Qiuchi tried his best to make himself look kind, easy to get along with, and gentle.
In fact, he sighed in his heart.
He felt a little tired of this kind of gentle disguise.
In the end, it was still felt that killing was the simplest thing.
Mu Chaochao nodded. Perhaps because she was short-handed and took advantage of others, she was almost not afraid when she looked at Xiang Qiuchi again.
After all, she was a little girl. Even though her previous experience was miserable, she lacked warmth and care for too long. Suddenly someone gave her the care and warmth that others had never given her, especially a cup of milk tea that could warm her heart, which made Mu Chaochao's defense in her heart drop a lot at once.
Mu Chaochao spoke intermittently. When she said some words in the middle, it was obvious that she was in the fear of memories, but she still tried very hard to tell Xiang Qiuchi about her experience.
Xiang Qiuchi listened to her experience and felt worse and worse, and wanted to kill more and more.
Mu Chaochao's mother was her biological mother, and her father was her stepfather.
When her biological father was alive, her mother had actually hooked up with her stepfather, and was caught by Mu Chaochao.
Maybe it was because of this reason that Mu Chaochao's biological mother treated her worse and worse since then.
But when her biological father was alive, she was more or less cautious. Later, her biological father died unexpectedly, and her biological mother and her current stepfather went from secretly having an affair to being open and aboveboard.
Mu Chaochao's treatment at home became worse and worse. She did all the housework, slept on the balcony, could not eat at the table, and could not have a full meal all day long.
Her stepfather loved to drink. He used to beat her when he was drunk, but later it gradually became that he would beat her whenever he was in a bad mood. Her biological mother was the same. She would punch and kick her when she was not satisfied.
Mu Chaochao couldn't stand being beaten twice before, so she ran away and called the police. However, because the people who beat her were her relatives, the police only criticized and educated her biological mother and stepfather, and asked them to take her back.
But after being taken back, she was abused even more cruelly.
So much so that later, Mu Chaochao didn't dare to run away.
Xiang Qiuchi gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Trying to make his voice soft, he asked: "Then... did you run away this time... because you couldn't stand being beaten?"
Mu Chaochao shook her head: "No... This time, it's not because of being beaten..."
Being beaten day after day has become a commonplace for her, and those days of comforting the sun have almost made her numb.
If it hadn't happened... maybe she wouldn't have been able to muster up the courage to run out again.
Xiang Qiuchi paused: "Why is that..."
Xiang Qiuchi saw Mu Chaochao holding her clothes tightly, her body was shaking all the time, and the fear that had disappeared from her face before reappeared on her face. She actually wanted to speak, but her lips were trembling and she couldn't make a sound.
Xiang Qiuchi hesitated for a moment, raised his hand, and gently patted Mu Chaochao's shoulders twice.
"Don't be afraid, you've already come out, don't say it if you don't want to."
Mu Chaochao hugged his head, his voice trembling and choking: "It's... it's my stepfather, he... he... wants... wants..."
