☆、128、The Mother and Daughter (2331 words)

Li Yaxi flipped through the documents, constantly spinning around in her chair.

Feng Zihao stopped him in his tracks. "Aren't you afraid of getting dizzy? Ya Xi, I can help you too. Why did you have to ask Qin Tian?"

Li Yaxi raised an eyebrow at him. "Are you jealous?"

Feng Zihao looked at him for a while. "I just don't like how dependent you are on others, Ya Xi. I like it when you think of me first when you need something."

Li Yaxi hugged his arm and rubbed against him. "You're so busy, how can you have time to play with me? Okay, Zihao, I won't have an affair. Besides, even if I did, it wouldn't be Qin Tian."

Li Yaxi kept muttering to herself, and Feng Zihao's face grew darker and darker as he listened.

"Ya Xi! Stop watching those ridiculous TV shows, all that stuff about affairs!"

Li Yaxi stopped talking and said, "Zihao, don't worry, I won't have an affair."

"Li Yaxi!"

Feng Zihao roared, and Li Yaxi shrank back in fright.

Looking at him with an innocent smile, Feng Zihao felt helpless.

Life is neither as easy nor as complicated as you might think; it all depends on how you choose to live it.

Li Li desires a life of wealth and comfort, which means he is not someone who seeks stability.

Never give this kind of person a chance. Once you do, they will become insatiable and fly very high, but they will also fall very hard.

Li Yaxi perfectly exemplifies this point.

Less than a month later, Li Li officially filed for bankruptcy protection.

He went from being a wealthy person to being penniless and having nowhere to turn for help.

He had long known that people in society were good at changing their tune, but now he had experienced it firsthand.

The woman initially hoped that Li Li could turn the tide, since all women regard their husbands as their heaven and think they are omnipotent.

Moreover, Li Li had once given her such a wealthy life.

When the house was seized and everything was confiscated.

That woman finally understood what it meant to be powerless to change anything.

Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest, but now that they are facing great calamity, they will naturally fly away separately.

Chen Xuerong had hoped that her husband could make a comeback, but instead he was drinking all day long. In a fit of anger, he left with their daughter who was about to take the college entrance examination.

However, her parents had passed away long ago, and she had been living with her husband in City B for many years, where her daughter was also studying.

So they had no choice but to sell their jewelry and rent a cheap apartment.

Li Jing is a girl who has never lacked food or clothing since childhood, and her parents spoil her rotten.

I grew up in W city and my family was very well-off. I was dressed up like a little princess every day and was used to being fawned over by everyone around me.

Although she wasn't a great beauty, she had delicate features and, with a little dressing up, her looks were considered above average.

Then even more people fawned over her.

After arriving in City B, her father's career was booming. While others hadn't even left the city, she had already traveled abroad several times.

Everything they wear, use, and adorn is an expensive designer brand.

Even the schoolbag they use costs tens of thousands of yuan.

The envy and jealousy she felt around her drove her to the extreme of vanity, and she developed a proud, willful, and vulgar temperament.

Now that the mansion is gone, her mother has had to sell her designer jewelry and bags to make ends meet, a series of blows that have been quite significant.

The pampered young lady, who was used to being the center of attention among her classmates, now has to be frugal even when eating in the cafeteria.

The sudden turn of events, from the heights of success to the depths of despair, came before she could even process it.

Li Yaxi hates this younger sister from her past life.

Li Jing is vain and enjoys being fawned over.

Li Yaxi was even prettier than her, and in private she was extremely mean to him, just like her mother, always hitting and scolding him.

She often brought her classmates home and treated them like servants, bossing them around.

Some of her classmates have older brothers or sisters, and even those who don't attend schools that combine primary and secondary education.

Li Yaxi is beautiful, and despite her difficult background, she is still very famous at school.

But Li Jing bossed him around like that, and even hit him when she didn't like him in front of her classmates.

Rumors were flying everywhere at school, and I was pointed at and talked about wherever I went.

There was a family where he was ostracized and isolated from others from a young age.

Throughout his childhood, he didn't have a single friend he could talk to.

Having grown accustomed to being alone, he had forgotten how to get along with people.

As a boy, Li Yaxi wasn't unable to fight back.

Even if you just wash the little princess's clothes until they're deformed, you'll get a severe beating, let alone if she fights back.

He had no choice but to endure it.

Some things are innate, such as greed.

He had considered leaving, but the presence of his family in his subconscious made it impossible for him to leave.

He was timid, so even if he was beaten and scolded, at least he had a place to stay.

Where can he go once he leaves?

That feeling of confusion and helplessness is more terrifying than physical pain.

Li Yaxi won't specifically seek out someone to deal with her younger sister; it's up to her own choice.

But when Li Yaxi looked at the report, she gave a mocking and cold smile.

To maintain her prestige and save face, Li Jing actually resorted to prostitution to earn money.

Her mother wasn't much better off; although she was over forty, she had spent time and money taking care of herself over the years.

She looks to be only in her early thirties, yet she possesses a certain charm.

She couldn't handle the job, and when she finally let down her guard and was willing to lower herself to work, she encountered setbacks everywhere.

Not dealing with the younger one doesn't mean not dealing with the woman.

Li Yaxi arranged a job for her and found a woman to cultivate a good relationship with her.

She made that boss make things difficult for her at every turn, making it impossible for her to stay.

Finally, following Li Yaxi's instructions, the woman gradually moved towards Li Yaxi's expectations.

Daughter engaged in compensated dating, mother engaged in prostitution—what a pair of mother and daughter!

Every day, Li Yaxi looked at the report that Qin Tian brought, which detailed the details of their lives. Seeing their miserable living conditions, Li Yaxi was initially quite excited, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But gradually Li Yaxi felt it was all meaningless. Instead of caring about other people's lives, she thought it would be better to cherish the time she had with Feng Zihao and fall in love.

Li Yaxi had only mentioned it casually on a whim, but she didn't expect Feng Zihao to act so quickly; all the procedures were completed in just half a month.

But after the company was completed, Li Yaxi's anger towards Tang Qing subsided, and the company naturally fell to Feng Zihao to manage, which he didn't even bother to look at.
