Chapter 144 No matter how big someone else's roof is, it's not as good as having your own umbrella

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it."

Wan Zixuan and everyone's eyes turned to Wen Yan.

Wan Zixuan frowned, "Sister Wen, may I ask, what do you mean by this?"

She stood behind the bushes in the dark while Wen Yan told her mother's fortune.

She reported her mother by her real name, knowing that she would come to the Tang family to attend the party tonight, and planned to expose her directly in front of everyone.

When Wen Yan said that her mother was about to be ruined and face jail, she was completely stunned.

Han Xu knew about her plan, and she had been planning it for a whole year.

She actually revealed all the confidential secrets!

It was conceivable that this young woman, who was a few years older than her, had real skills.

There is never a shortage of talented people in this world.

Wan Zixuan always maintains a reverent attitude towards the unknown.

She didn't think Wen Yan would say that word for no reason.

Wen Yan saw that Wan Zixuan and Wan Fu were of different types, and she was still honest and had a bottom line in her heart.

She also didn't want to see Wan Zixuan come back empty-handed and make wedding clothes for her, so she pursed her lips slightly and said, "My heart is beside my pillow."

Having said this, Wen Yan said nothing more.

She went to the bathroom.

Si Moyan followed closely behind her.

Wen Yan looked back at the tall and stern man, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Husband, are you still following me when I go to the bathroom?"

Si Moyan looked at her with dark eyes, "All the people who came tonight are powerful people. Your ability has been seen by them. I'm afraid someone will do you harm for their own benefit."

Wen Yan couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips into a smile. She stood on tiptoe and kissed the man's thin lips.

"Hubby, I'll give you a kiss."

Although she can deal with those who want to do something bad to her with her own abilities, she is still very moved to have such a person by her side to take care of her.

A few minutes later, Wen Yan came out of the bathroom.

She saw a noble woman struggling with Si Moyan.

Si Moyan's brows furrowed, "My wife is not a savior!"

When the lady saw Wen Yan coming out, she quickly walked around Si Moyan and came to Wen Yan's side.

Without waiting for Wen Yan's response, she knelt down with a thud.

Si Moyan quickly pulled Wen Yan behind him, "Ms. Liu, what on earth do you want to do?"

Liu Yunru is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, a Hong Kong watch tycoon. When she was young, she was a famous professional model in China.

Later she married into a wealthy family and became a full-time housewife.

Wen Yan looked at Liu Yunru, who was only forty years old but already had white hair. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The rich lady suddenly knelt down before her, probably because she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve.

Liu Yunru was wearing a long-sleeved suit jacket today. When 누 Wenyan asked her what was wrong, she slowly rolled up her sleeves.

Seeing the horrific winding knife scars on her wrist and the piece of rotten flesh filled with pus, Wen Yan and Si Moyan were both shocked.

Si Moyan reached out and helped Liu Yunru up.

Wen Yan nodded to Liu Yunru, "Ms. Liu, just say whatever you want to say!"

Liu Yunru originally had no hope in life, and she lived like a walking corpse every day.

I can't die, but living is painful.

"Sister Wen, I see that you can predict the fate of thousands of people so accurately. I also want you to help me predict my fate. I want to die, but I can't die. How can I end my life?"

Wen Yan took a close look at Liu Yunru's face and frowned. "Your full name and date of birth."

Liu Yunru immediately reported her full name and date of birth.

Wen Yan first did some calculations, and then looked at Liu Yunru's past in the system.

[No wonder Liu Yunru has white hair at such a young age. It turns out that her mother-in-law borrowed her longevity. ]

Si Moyan's dark and narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

How could the Zhao family do such a sinister thing?

Wen Yan pursed her lips, frowned and looked at Liu Yunru, "Your husband is a loving couple with you in front of others, but in private, he is cold and violent to you, and your son is also rude to you. However, your mother-in-law always protects you and loves you as her own daughter, right?"

Liu Yunru nodded, "Yes."

Although she was loved by her mother-in-law, she lived on thin ice in the Zhao family.

When she first married into the Zhao family, she and her husband were very loving and gave birth to a son a year later.

The family lived a happy life.

Later, her father-in-law passed away, the company encountered a financial crisis, her husband became busy at work, and she stayed at home full-time to take care of the children and her mother-in-law who was often ill.

At that time, the company was almost bankrupt and could not afford a maid, so she got up early every day to make breakfast, prepare dinner at night, and occasionally stayed up late to take care of her mother-in-law, keeping everything in the house in order.

Day after day, year after year.

As my husband grows older, he becomes more mature, stable and masculine.

The child gradually grew up and became a handsome guy, but she, on the other hand, became a yellow-faced woman.

Even at that time, she didn't feel the crisis.

I still feel that I am an indispensable part of the family.

It was not until her husband began to ignore her and her son disliked her because she was not as young and pretty as her classmates' mothers that she realized that everything she had done before was just self-admiration.

They think that she doesn't have to go to work, and is the most relaxed and cheapest person in the family.

She asked a private detective to investigate her husband and found that he was not cheating on her, but his heart no longer wanted her.

Her son also disliked her and got angry at her.

The only person in the family who is kind to her is her mother-in-law.

But what surprised her was that in the past year, her memory started to deteriorate and she often had health problems, such as stomachache, eyeache, leg soreness, which often tortured her and made her unable to sleep at night.

She went to see a doctor, who told her there was something wrong.

Later she thought she was suffering from depression, but the psychiatrist said she just had mild anxiety disorder and was not depressed.

She tried to change herself and went out to socialize with the ladies.

Every time there is a gathering, she actively participates and strives to improve herself.

However, she was often excluded because of her slow thinking and inability to follow their conversations, and she would faint for no reason due to physical weakness.

Later, many noble ladies stopped inviting her.

This time, Mrs. Tang was kind-hearted and treated her equally, so she invited her.

"Sister Wen, I don't know what's wrong with me. I live in pain every day. These marks on my body are all caused by myself. I want to commit suicide, but I can't die every time!"

Wen Yan sighed slightly, "How should I put it? Women should love themselves more. All your efforts are seen as your self-indulgence by your husband and son. When you lose your self-worth, you are just a piece of trash that can be thrown away at will in their eyes."

"Also, some of your current physical conditions seem to be trying to borrow your life span. I kowtow to your door every night."

Liu Yunru's eyes widened in shock, "Borrowing your life to kowtow?"

Wen Yan nodded, "Is your mother-in-law going to hold a 70th birthday party soon?"

"Yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, she will kowtow to you in front of all the guests that day, and then you will suddenly die."

Liu Yunru swayed unsteadily, "You mean, it's my mother-in-law who kowtowed to me?"

Liu Yunru shook her head in disbelief. "How could that be? She has always been very nice to me..."

Liu Yunru obviously didn't believe it.

Her mother-in-law was the best person the Zhao family had ever treated her, so it was impossible for her to do such an immoral thing.

Seeing Liu Yunru shaking her head, Wen Yan expressed her understanding, "You probably won't believe this kind of thing if you don't see it with your own eyes. You can observe it quietly at midnight tonight."

Liu Yunru smiled bitterly, "Although I don't believe my mother-in-law will harm me, I still thank Sister Wen 께 for reminding me."

Looking at the haggard woman in front of her, Wen Yan couldn't help but remind her, "Ms. Liu, no matter how big the roof of someone else's house is, it's not as good as having your own umbrella. You are only forty years old now, and you can still find your own light again."

Seeing the tenderness and encouragement in Wen Yan's eyes, Liu Yunru's face was immediately filled with tears.

She worked hard to raise her children, take care of her husband and mother-in-law, but she found that she had lost herself long ago.

No job, no savings, no social life, no confidence, and no one to rely on.

When her husband disliked her for being a yellow-faced woman and a freeloader, and when her son, whom she had raised single-handedly, disliked her for not being as young, pretty, and successful as his classmate's mother, her heart felt like it was stabbed by thousands of knives.

When her husband complains that she spends too much money, how much of it does she actually spend on herself?

My son’s tuition and training fees, my mother-in-law’s medical expenses, and the family’s living expenses.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had a manicure, dyed her hair, or gone shopping.

The hard work and patience she put in made her like a full-time nanny who enjoyed a life without having to work in the eyes of her husband and son.

How sad!

After leaving Mrs. Tang's house, Liu Yunru drove home.

When passing by a hotel, she saw her son Zhao Yu who was coming out of a party with his classmates.

Zhao Yu is in high school this year. He has been well taken care of by her since he was a child and has grown tall and handsome.

놛 must have drunk some wine, so he was walking unsteadily.

Although her son disliked her, he was still the apple of her eye. Liu Yunru couldn't help but get out of the car and walk towards him.

Zhao Yu didn't look at Liu Yunru, but turned around to talk to a fair and innocent girl.

"Qianqian, I didn't expect your mother is the famous model Li Liying. No wonder you are so tall and beautiful."

Li Liying?

Liu Yunru hasn't heard of this name for a long time.

Liu Yunru was also a model when she was young, and she and Li Liying were sworn enemies.

But didn’t Li Liying marry a foreigner? After retiring from the entertainment industry, she often posted vlogs on social media showing off her life as a rich wife. Liu Yunru knew that she had a daughter who was the same age as her son.

"Zhao Yu, you know the situation in our family. My father divorced my mother because he thought she couldn't give birth to a son. My mother can now go back to her old job and raise me, but she is old and can't go back at all."

"No way, your mom takes good care of herself. I think she looks like she's in her teens. Unlike my mom, she's bloated and has a sallow complexion. Not only is her hair white, but she also has age spots on her face. She's so relaxed at home, but she doesn't take good care of herself. No wonder my dad doesn't want to take her out!"

Li Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled softly, "I heard that your mother and my mother used to work in the same company. Your mother really didn't pay enough attention to her figure and appearance. But your mother is lucky. She married your father and gave birth to you. She has no worries about food and clothing in her life. Unlike my mother, the endorsement she had booked some time ago was snatched away by a young model."

Zhao Yu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "My dad's watch company just happened to be looking for a spokesperson, so I'll recommend your mom to my dad!"

When she heard this, a fishy and sweet taste surged in Liu Yunru's throat.

This is truly her filial son!

Liu Yunru returned to Zhao's house in a daze. Usually, she would wait for her husband and son to come back, and then go to rest after preparing supper. But today, she went straight back to the bedroom.

Her mother-in-law came and knocked on the door and called her, but she ignored her.

Not long after, her son came back and knocked on the door, asking her to make him some sobering tea and prepare some midnight snack, but she pretended not to listen.

She fell asleep in a daze, and around midnight she woke up from a nightmare.

She opened her eyes, picked up her phone and checked the time.

There are still ten minutes until midnight.

I couldn't help but think of what Sister Wen Xiao said.

Although she thought it was a bit absurd, but thinking that her fate was told, she quickly got out of bed and ran to the unoccupied guest room diagonally opposite.

It was already midnight, so she opened the door a crack and looked out quietly.

She did not see her mother-in-law.

She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that her mother-in-law would not treat her like that.

But the next second——
