Song Hongye sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I know we won't get a divorce. I'm just grumbling. It's true that compared to your scumbag ex-husband, my Lao Du is really quite good. You're right. I'll take some time to have a good talk with Lao Du. Life is so long. If we don't clear things up, I'm afraid the gap between us will only widen."

"It's good that you've talked it out. That's how life is for couples; there will always be bumps along the way. Life is full of disappointments, so just let it go," Lu Ziqun advised with a smile.

After the divorce, she seemed to have a clearer understanding of life. Life is too short to dwell on one thing and make yourself miserable; you should think more about happy things.

Song Hongye smiled and gestured towards Ye Qingqing and Qian Manduo, "They live much more comfortably than us. Qingqing is a winner in life, and Manduo is getting more and more beautiful. It's clear that Xi Murong treats her very well, so she doesn't have to worry about anything."

Ye Qingqing glared at him and said, half-jokingly, "No one has a smooth life. Everyone has their ups and downs. Yours are just troublesome, but if I can't overcome them, I'll be dead."

"It's not that exaggerated, you're not..."

Lu Ziqun suddenly stopped. She thought of what Sang Huaiyuan had said on Ye Tong's wedding day: Ye Qingqing was raising her mentally challenged younger brother alone, all alone and helpless, and must have suffered a lot.

Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "You and your brother had a tough childhood, didn't you?"

"I've never suffered in life, I never had to worry about food or clothing, but I'm surrounded by wolves, all of them wanting the wealth I have. That's how my mother died. If I hadn't woken up in time, I would have died at their hands too," Ye Qingqing said casually.

Lu Ziqun and the others were shocked. They thought it was just a matter of hardship, but they never expected it to be such a bloody and violent incident that someone had died.

"You...your mother was murdered?" Lu Ziqun stammered, a chill running down his spine.

Having grown up in a peaceful era, I thought the worst evil was nothing more than petty theft. I never imagined that my friends would be involved in murder cases. It's terrifying.

"Yes, she died in childbirth. I was five years old at the time. My mother's childbirth was tampered with, and my younger brother also has intellectual disabilities because of it. My father was also harmed and nearly died by jumping into a river. He suffered a brain injury and lost his memory. I didn't find him until I was seventeen."

Speaking of the past, Ye Qingqing was very calm. Unlike before, she no longer felt angry or resentful. Now, she only felt a little melancholy. She had let go of the hatred and pain from her past life.

Lu Ziqun and the others couldn't help but sigh. What only happened on TV was actually happening to them. Surrounded by a pack of wolves who wanted to kill them, it was truly remarkable that Ye Qingqing had survived.

"To possess a treasure is a crime!"

Song Hongye sighed. It seemed that Ye Qingqing must have a lot of wealth, otherwise she wouldn't have been ruined and her family destroyed. She used to envy Ye Qingqing's privileged family background, but now she was glad. With her stupidity, if she were in Ye Qingqing's situation, she would definitely be devoured without a trace.

Contentment with modest wealth is the best policy. She's doing quite well now; one should be content with what one has.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "All of that is in the past. My family's enemies all met with bad ends. I'm doing quite well now. By the way, Sun Yurong will bring Yu Shaoning to the party, right? That scumbag definitely has to come."
