"You troublemaker!"

"You've ruined my son!"

In the apartment, Ling's mother hysterically grabbed Leng Shan's clothes, but the raised hand did not fall for a long time.

Leng Shan is pregnant and also injured.

If she continues fighting, she'll end up in jail.

Leng Shan looked at her fearlessly, her eyes filled with hatred and contempt. "I destroyed it? Don't you bear any responsibility yourself?"

She glared at Ling's mother and yelled, "When you and the Leng family were in cahoots, you were always trying to get me and your son together. Ever since I was little, every time you saw me, you would ask me when I could be your daughter-in-law. But now that I'm grown up and with him, you've started picking and choosing and disagreeing! And you blame everything on me!"

Ling's mother also scolded, "It's all your fault, you scourge! If only I had known..."

"Why didn't you know sooner?"

Ling's mother didn't dare to hit Leng Shan, but Leng Shan was fearless and slapped Ling's mother hard across the face.

"Speak up, why aren't you saying anything? Why didn't you know sooner?"

"Let me say it for you. You're saying that if you had known things would turn out this way if I had been with Ling Yu, you would have chosen Yan Can as your daughter-in-law, right?"

Before Ling's mother could reveal her thoughts, she slapped her again.

Stop dreaming!

"The Yan family is so arrogant, they would never be related to a stupid pig like you by marriage!"

After saying that, she suddenly stopped.

Ling's mother thought she was about to have another fit of madness, but then she heard a sound coming from the doorway, and soon a tired figure walked in.

"son!"

"Ling Yu!"

Ling's mother and Leng Shan spoke at the same time, both looking eagerly at Ling Yu who had returned from outside.

Ke Lingyu merely glanced at the mess on the floor before heading straight to the guest room. She didn't even glance at the two women fighting in the living room until the door closed.

Ling's mother called out his name in anguish.

Leng Shan suddenly turned cold, pushed Ling's mother aside, took a glass from the table, and slowly walked to the guest room. She then picked up the glass and started smashing it against the door.

With a loud bang.

The door slammed shut, and glass shattered on the floor.

Ling's mother was too frightened to utter a sound, but Leng Shan expressionlessly pulled out a shard of glass that was embedded in her arm, and then picked up a large piece of glass and aimed it at her wrist.

"I told you you're not allowed to sleep in the guest room anymore."

"Ling Yu, I'm giving you one minute. If you don't come out now, I'm going to cut my wrists."

A shard of glass pierced her wrist, leaving a thin line of blood, but Leng Shan seemed oblivious, continuing to count down.

In the past two weeks, she could often count to sixty, but today she only counted to ten before the door opened. Ling Yu walked out with her head down, while Leng Shan revealed a smile that seemed to indicate she was determined to control everything.

In the blink of an eye, the laughter came to an abrupt end.

Ling's mother screamed, and Leng Shan's pupils dilated in shock as she stared in astonishment at Ling Yu, who was tightly gripping the glass and her hand together. Then she screamed as well.

A moment later, Ling Yu let go, her palm already covered in blood.

He glanced at Leng Shan, whose face was contorted in pain, with disgust.

"Get out!"

"roll!"

...

With high school over, the tug-of-war between Ling Yu and Leng Shan has officially begun.

Every now and then, Yan Can would see the gossip circulating in the group chat.

However, these minor incidents are far less eye-catching than the rapid collapse of the Ling and Leng families' companies. What people are more concerned about and discussing is the bankruptcy liquidation of these two companies.

As the Yan family was the first to target these two companies, they inevitably encountered many anticipated troubles, but they were all resolved one by one.

Trouble can be resolved, but hatred only grows deeper.

Whether it's the Yan family, the Ling family, or the Leng family, they have become irreconcilable entities.

In late August, Yan Can started school.

After the Yan family returned from seeing Yan Can off, they heard about Leng Shan's miscarriage.

She kept using the child to threaten Ling Yu, saying that if he didn't do what she said, she would abort the child, turn Ling Yu into an executioner, and make him live in pain and regret for the rest of his life.

As it turned out, the child seemed to have no desire to be born into her womb and passed away on an ordinary afternoon.

Leng Shan has lost her trump card.

Ling Yu went back to school.

He wants to repeat a grade.

His life shouldn't be like this.

But fate did not give him the chance to defy destiny.

With the Ling family going bankrupt, someone had to shoulder the enormous debt. After the company went bankrupt, Ling's father became despondent, and all the burdens suddenly fell on Ling Yu's shoulders.

Continue your studies?

Not to mention that the Ling couple would object, even the creditors would not agree.

Ling Yu could only tidy up her desk again, carry her heavy schoolbag, and step into another, more cruel and burdensome world.

After realizing that she could no longer control Ling Yu with any of her threats, Leng Shan, facing economic pressure, set her sights on the Leng family couple.

Sever ties?

Words spoken in the heat of the moment, without being notarized by an authoritative institution, are invalid.

Not paying?

Then let's make a scene. Anyway, this has always been her specialty since she was a child.

No money?

Then sell jewelry, clothes, and bags!

She sold everything she could think of and turned it into cash. She even personally reported her father for transferring assets overseas and for some of the crimes committed by her parents.

During a break, Yan Can saw a classmate's rant.

[She's also an expert at putting aside family ties for the greater good.]

More than just an expert.

In order to get some bonuses and to get revenge on her parents, Leng Shan would stop at nothing.

After her relentless efforts, Leng's mother also suffered a miscarriage.

This child, on whom the Leng family had placed high hopes before birth and expected to lead the Leng family out of their predicament and to the top, chose to escape, just like the child in Leng Shan's womb.

The couple, already on the verge of despair, had their last glimmer of hope extinguished.

The person who directly caused this tragedy, after realizing that there was absolutely nothing to be gained from Leng's parents and that continuing to harass them might only lead to debt, changed course and turned his attention back to Ling Yu.

In the past, the only person she could hold onto was Ling Yu.

Now, the only person she can hold onto is Ling Yu.

...

Four years later.

"Sparkling!"

Before the Spring Festival, Yan Can returned home and then received an invitation from Xu Wei.

According to Xu Wei, although they all studied in Beijing, Yan Can's university was different from the others, and she had fewer holidays, so they often couldn't get together. As a result, even after she graduated, she hadn't seen Yan Can many times.

What's even more infuriating is that during their few meetings, Yan Conghe would suddenly appear and snatch Yan Can away.

Boyfriend? I can understand.

Xu Wei was prepared for Yan Can to be snatched away again, but Yan Conghe did not show up until the end of the date.

However, I suddenly ran into an old friend who looked completely different.
