Wang Yalin's downfall was only ridiculed at first, and then no one mentioned her anymore because her status had completely changed. Gossiping about her past as a socialite was considered beneath her, and she could no longer attract the attention of people in her former circle.
Only Feng Donghui kept an eye on her. He hated her to the core. Seeing that she could still sell her body to make a living while he was suffering in prison, he simply found a group of thugs to beat her up.
This time, Feng Donghui was very careful. He found someone through Old Master Feng to break Wang Yalin's leg in a place without surveillance cameras and send her to the hospital where Feng Xiangjun was being treated.
No one in the world hates Wang Yalin more than Feng Xiangjun. She is paralyzed from the waist down, and her temperament has become increasingly extreme, anxious, and irritable, with extremely extreme thoughts.
The Feng family elders only agreed to Feng Donghui's request to let their children vent their anger. Every day, the old lady Feng would push Feng Xiangjun in her wheelchair to visit Wang Yalin in her hospital room. Feng Xiangjun would slap Wang Yalin a few times and give her a sharp and sarcastic humiliation, which would make her feel much better.
Wang Yalin's sugar daddy even visited her in the hospital, but after seeing Feng Xiangjun there, he never showed up again. Now that Wang Yalin isn't even a mistress, who would be willing to put in the effort for her? With her leg broken, she can't go out and hook up with rich men anymore, and suddenly she's all alone again.
After the Xu family learned about this, Xu Zhenhua remained silent, while Li Xiulan was furious and regretted it, saying that she shouldn't have let Xu Zhenhua marry such a wife, that the whole family was no good.
Xu Zifan and Xu Mengyao massaged their shoulders to comfort them. Xu Zifan laughed and said, "Grandma, you can't regret this, otherwise you won't have such good grandchildren like me and Yaoyao!"
Li Xiulan smiled helplessly, "You're so good at talking. If it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to two wonderful children like you, I would have made your father divorce her long ago. She's so ungrateful and doesn't see how good you are. She's still entangled with her adopted daughter. It's inexplicable."
Xu Zhenhua sighed, "Let's not talk about her anymore. She'll stay like this from now on. I'll find a good nursing home to settle her and her parents in. I hope the environment there will calm her down. I won't bring her back home to cause trouble."
"Don't bring her back, I'm afraid I'll be so angry I'll die." Li Xiulan was determined not to accept Feng Xiangjun. Even she regretted neglecting Yaoyao back then. Feng Xiangjun, her own mother, hadn't even apologized yet. She was truly hopeless.
Xu Mengyao put her arm around her shoulder and laughed, "Grandma, don't be angry. I have good news for you. Everything is ready for the road repair project. We can start construction soon. My brother said I did a really good job."
"Wow, so fast!" Li Xiulan exclaimed in surprise, grabbing her arm. "I heard from your brother that you prepared everything by yourself. That's wonderful. We'll name it after you to commemorate the first thing you accomplished on your own."
"Grandma, don't praise me. I only managed to do this plan well because I helped my brother with a project last time. I don't know how to do anything else yet."
Xu Zifan raised his chin and said, "Yaoyao, don't be modest. It's already amazing that you can do these things independently at eighteen. Your brother didn't start doing anything serious until he was twenty-five."
"How dare you say that!" Xu Zhenhua said with a laugh, and the atmosphere at home finally relaxed.
Xu Mengyao proposed to personally go to Linhe Town during the winter vacation to finalize the road repair project. Li Xiulan was afraid that the sight of the road would trigger painful memories and didn't want her to go. In the end, Xu Zifan persuaded Li Xiulan to let Xu Mengyao do what she wanted, which would also allow her to personally go and put an end to that past. He would send more bodyguards to protect Xu Mengyao's safety.
Once the matter was settled, Xu Mengyao set off, accompanied by Lu Keqing.
Before she left, Xu Zifan asked her privately, "You're not going to go find the Wang family, are you?"
Lu Keqing looked at him with sparkling eyes, "How are you so smart? Nothing escapes your notice. Just wait and see the final step of my revenge. I'll make her regret ever being born!"
Xu Zifan chuckled and shook his head at her sinister little face. "Alright, I'll wait for my vengeful queen to return in triumph. Come back soon so I won't be left alone in this empty room."
Lu Keqing blushed deeply, all her ruthlessness vanished, she pushed Xu Zifan's face away and turned to run away, "You wish! I'm waiting for Yao Yao to finish her work so we can come back together. You can go to work!"
With his wife and sister gone, Xu Zifan had nothing important to do and focused all his energy on the development of the Xu family business, working overtime until late at night every day and arriving at the company early in the morning.
The others in his group couldn't help but curse him behind his back. What kind of monster was he? Just when they thought they had figured out the limits of his abilities, he would surprise them and widen the gap between them. Just when they thought he had done his best, they would find that he would suddenly start to exert his strength again, catching them off guard.
What's even more frightening is that his family has been in the jewelry business for three generations, right? Even if they've dabbled in other industries, jewelry is their main business. How come Xu Zifan is now starting to invade other industries? He does whatever makes money and does it incredibly well. Who was it that said he was incompetent before?
Everyone in Yanjing's high society thought that Xu Zifan had pretended to be stupid in order to be free and carefree until he was 25 years old before being targeted by his elders. How cunning! He actually came up with this method.
When praising Xu Zifan, it's inevitable that someone will mention Qi Xiangheng. These two are practically childhood friends, and Xu Zifan has always been closest to Qi Xiangheng. If they had remained brothers, with Xu Zifan's current status and abilities, wouldn't he have been able to help the Qi family grow as well?
Although the Qi family was not bad, they could only be considered second-rate in Yanjing.
The Liu family always seems to fall short of something when it wants to move up a notch. If the Xu family were to lead them, given the Xu family's current momentum, the Qi family might even be able to squeeze into the ranks of the four great families.
And what happened? Qi Xiangheng was blind to the truth and turned against Xu Zifan for Wang Yalin. Now, the Xu family is completely refusing to cooperate with the Qi family. The Qi family sees that Xu Zifan has a big piece of the pie, but they just can't get a share. It's incredibly frustrating.
Everyone says Wang Yalin is a real jinx, bringing misfortune to everyone she encounters.
Qi Xiangheng was ridiculed and became a laughing stock in the industry. He was unhappy in the industry and had to go home to see his elders shaking their heads and sighing from time to time, which made him feel terrible.
Sometimes he wondered what would have happened if he had believed Xu Zifan back then? But there's no going back, and he couldn't possibly lower himself to be friends with Xu Zifan again.
The only thing he can do now is try his best to learn business, which he used to dislike, in the hope that he won't make a mess of things when he takes over the company in the future.
As the winter vacation was drawing to a close, Lu Keqing and Xu Mengyao finally returned from Linhe Town, while the Wang family also returned to Yanjing.
Since Liang Liwei no longer cared about the Wang family's affairs, the local bullies in Linhe Town naturally wouldn't restrict them anymore. Lu Keqing sent someone to tell the Wang family how much money Wang Yalin had, which hospital and ward she was staying in, and that she no longer had a sugar daddy or powerful backer.
The Wang family hated Wang Yalin intensely, and coupled with their extreme financial need, they immediately mobilized the entire family to capture Wang Yalin and bring her back to their hometown.
They were Wang Yalin's relatives, and the hospital couldn't handle the matter. The police couldn't keep an eye on things every day, and besides, there was no violence involved, so they couldn't do anything about it. In just a few days, Wang's family managed to get Wang Yalin back to the countryside.
The road isn't finished yet, so Wang Yalin can't drive and her legs haven't fully healed. She doesn't even know how to run. She once had someone take photos of the Wang family's area and of Xu Mengyao. At that time, it just looked like a small rural town, but she didn't realize it was such a poor and remote place where even the food was tasteless.
The Wang family has always looked down on girls. Wang Yalin has repeatedly challenged their authority as parents, and even tricked them into having people teach them a lesson and lock them up in the village. They hate her to death.
This time, they didn't expect her to hook up with rich young men. If she actually did, wouldn't they be in trouble again?
This time, they planned to follow the original plan and marry Wang Yalin off to the cripple from the neighboring village. Although the daughter to be married off in the plan had been changed from Xu Mengyao to Wang Yalin, Wang Yalin was much prettier than Xu Mengyao back then, and even if she wasn't a virgin, she wouldn't have to worry about getting a good price.
The cripple, who had never found a wife, immediately agreed to marry Wang Yalin upon seeing her appearance, giving the Wang family a dowry of 200,000 yuan, almost all of his wealth. Wang Yalin was terrified and showered the Wang family with sweet words, begging them not to marry her and promising to give them 200,000 yuan every month thereafter.
Wang Li had hung out with a bunch of young tycoons in Yanjing, and he wasn't as naive as before. He told his whole family to pretend to hesitate and dig out all the money Wang Yalin could afford. Just when Wang Yalin thought she had escaped a disaster, her own parents personally sent her to the cripple's house!
The lame man had been unsuccessful for years, ridiculed for his limp, and unable to perform his work well. His demeanor was extremely gloomy, and his triangular eyes, when they looked at Wang Yalin, were filled with lewdness. When Wang Yalin resisted, he became like a violent madman, striking her without warning.
Wang Yalin was truly terrified. Faced with this unreasonable and abusive man, she felt both disgusted and fearful. Unfortunately, her leg injury was too severe to escape, and crying until her voice was hoarse did nothing to change the outcome.
Seeing that the lame man was alone at home, Wang Yalin quickly tried to please him gently. Once he lowered his guard, she took the money from his house while he was drunk and ran away. She thought a whole night would be enough time for her to escape, but it turned out that many of the houses had dogs!
She was a newcomer who had only recently married into the family and stayed indoors all day. The dogs didn't recognize her, and as soon as they heard the noise, they started barking one after another. Soon, many families turned on their lights and ran out to check. When they saw her, they immediately started shouting and yelling at the lame man to wake her up and arrest her. They knew that the girl had arrived penniless, and that she must have stolen all her money by sneaking away in the middle of the night with her belongings.
Upon inspection, the lame man discovered that she had taken all the valuables from the house. Enraged, he dragged her home and beat her up. He then went to the Wang family to question them about how they disciplined their daughter, asking how they could continue living like this.
Fearing he would take back the bride price, the Wang family decided to move in with the cripple. With so many of them watching over her, they were sure Wang Yalin wouldn't run away. Besides, they were being gossiped about in the village anyway, and staying at the cripple's house meant they could eat and drink for free.
Lu Keqing hired a private investigator to keep an eye on them. She wasn't surprised at all when she found out about these things. The Wang family, the cripple, and Wang Yalin were practically competing to see who could be more shameless; there wasn't a single good person among them.
She had been following Wang Yalin for over three years and knew everything about her. If Xu Mengyao hadn't returned to the Xu family, she would be the one married off to the cripple now. She couldn't even imagine what such a good girl would have gone through.
Wang Yalin knew all along the Wang family's character, yet she deliberately concealed Xu Mengyao's existence, even causing her brother's death. Now, let Wang Yalin follow the same path as Xu Mengyao, and let her experience the true life of a Wang family daughter.
She couldn't find evidence that Wang Yalin had killed her brother, but after studying psychology for several years, she knew that once a person opens the cage of their heart and releases the demons hidden in their heart, they can never lock themselves back in.
She didn't want to become like that, so she wouldn't take human lives. She wanted to use this method to make Wang Yalin's evil reappear.
Wang Yalin already had psychological problems when she was in Yanjing, and this was exacerbated by her later actions. Now, Wang Yalin is on the verge of a breakdown.
She believed this matter would be over soon, and she was incredibly looking forward to it.
That day, the day I saw Wang Yalin brought to justice.
Only the justice of the law can comfort her brother's soul in heaven; she wants her brother to see Wang Yalin receive the punishment she deserves.
