Wang Yulian clenched her fists, the veins on the back of her hands bulging with anger, but she could only swallow her anger and do as Shen Ling instructed.

By the time everything was finished, three hours had passed.

After eating and drinking her fill, Shen Ling wiped her mouth and went back to her room to rest.

Wang Yulian, who was being tossed around by her, almost broke her back from exhaustion and was on the verge of a breakdown.

As soon as she saw the bedroom door close, she immediately turned around, grabbed Gu Yuchuan, and began to complain.

"Look at the daughter-in-law you married, she's trying to kill your mother."

"What kind of life am I living day by day? Why is my life so miserable? There's no one around me who makes me worry."

Gu Yuchuan was also very annoyed, but he had to force himself to cheer up and comfort her.

"Mom, I know you've been through a lot, but I had no other choice."

He glanced in the direction of the bedroom and lowered his voice:

"Shen Ling has something on us, and the child she's carrying is mine. We can't just leave her like this."

When it comes to children, Wang Yulian is full of complaints.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner that Lele was your biological son? If I had known this earlier, I would have treated him better."

"It's such a pity that Lele has been led astray by Tong Xinyue. We don't know if her personality can be corrected in the future."

Wang Yulian kept sighing.

“If it were a girl, it would be fine. Tong Xinyue could just take her far away and never let her come back. But the problem is that Lele is a boy.”

"This concerns the descendants of our Gu family, we absolutely cannot let him fall into poverty outside like this."

Gu Yuchuan felt a headache coming on.

"How could I bear to part with Lele? But if I bring him back to my side to raise him now, Shen Ling will make a scene again."

"Anyway, Lele and I are father and son. We're still connected by blood. Let him suffer a bit outside and toughen up his character. We'll find another opportunity to bring him back later."

Seeing that Wang Yulian was about to start nagging again, Gu Yuchuan, not wanting to listen, quickly stopped her.

"Alright, Mom, stop talking. I'm currently negotiating a big deal that will make me a lot of money if it's successful."

"Adding to the savings we've accumulated, we'll move out immediately and live closer to our factory. This way, it will be convenient for me to get to work, and I can also avoid all the gossip."

"Oh my, does that mean my son is about to become the factory manager? He's really promising."

Wang Yulian wiped her hands on her apron, beaming with joy.

"Alright, for your sake, I don't mind suffering a little. No matter how difficult Shen Ling is to please, she only wants some food and drink. I can just bear with it."

She made some sacrifices for the sake of her family's future wealth and prosperity without the slightest complaint.

However, Wang Yulian couldn't help but complain a bit about Gu Yuchuan's disastrous marriage.

"Mom isn't too happy with either of the two women who are with you."

"Tong Xinyue is not worth mentioning, and Shen Ling is even more of a jinx. Ever since she married into our family, there hasn't been a single day of peace. She's no different from Tong Xinyue in terms of her dirty laundry."

Her son is such a good person, yet he was defiled by these two women. It's such a shame for him.

Gu Yuchuan continued, following Wang Yulian's words:

"It's too late for regrets now. Either we can live a good life with Shen Ling from now on, or we can kick her out after the baby is born."

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his expression was quite meaningful.

"There are plenty of ways to deal with Shen Ling."

Gu Yuchuan actually wanted to kick Shen Ling out of the house; was he out of his mind?

Wang Yulian quickly said, "Mom was just saying those things casually, you don't need to take them to heart."

“Our family has been embroiled in such a scandal lately. If Shen Ling were to report you to the police station after being kicked out, it would ruin your reputation and career.”

"Mom, you said it yourself, it's because of the scandals that have been making headlines lately."

Gu Yuchuan sneered.

“Shen Ling doesn’t have any concrete evidence of my infidelity. All she’s relying on is the gossip among the neighbors over this period of time.”

"As time goes by, and people forget about this incident, I will naturally have a way to turn her evidence into fake."

Wang Yulian was deeply persuaded by Gu Yuchuan. Wouldn't this give their family a great chance of getting rid of Shen Ling, this jinx?

She suddenly felt that there was hope for the future after this period of feeling utterly worthless.

-

After walking around the courtyard, greeting the neighbors, and handing out wedding candies, Shen Zhihuan and Xie Lanshen took a car together to the state-run restaurant.

The hotel had prepared all the private rooms in advance, and now all the guests have arrived, filling every seat to capacity. It was incredibly lively.

Today, all the guests invited were elders who had a good relationship with Shen Zhihuan. Even Grandpa Xie's old comrades-in-arms doted on her, treating her like their own granddaughter.

By the end of the meal, Shen Zhihuan had received so many red envelopes that her hands were sore from receiving them.

Needless to say, Master Wang and Master Tian, ​​the two masters, had an exceptionally close relationship with Shen Zhihuan.

“We’re not lucky enough to have a daughter in this life. Zhihuan is such a well-behaved and sensible child. We both love her just like our own daughter.”

"Old Wang, Old Tian, ​​what you two are saying isn't quite right."

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Grandpa Xie's face turned a little red, and he jokingly chatted with the two of them.

"Zhihuan is my granddaughter-in-law. If you two treat her like your own daughter, wouldn't that be a breach of our generational hierarchy?"

Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian finally realized that they had been drinking so much that their brains were fogged up, and they had actually let that old rascal from the Xie family take such a big advantage.

"Go to hell!"

These old rascals were so funny that everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The private room was instantly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The two masters themselves were amused, chuckling for a while before continuing:

"Lanshen is a promising child, and his personality is exceptionally mature and steady. We are very at ease entrusting Zhihuan to him."

“We’re not just talking nonsense. Lan Shen, you’d better treat Zhi Huan well in the future. As her family, we’re all ready to support her at any time.”

They are all seasoned veterans who have witnessed many ups and downs; they are not so easily intoxicated.

Although the elderly people looked drunk, their eyes were actually quite clear.

Shen Zhihuan also knew that her masters were expressing their feelings for her because she had no family to rely on, and she was deeply moved.

She poured herself a full glass of wine, stood up, and gave a respectful salute to her two masters across the table.

"If I had known that I would have two more maternal homes by finding a master, I would have definitely gone to my parents' house as soon as possible and stayed there, enjoying the love and care of my elders."
