Upon waking up, the fair-skinned and beautiful Ye Zhi finds herself transmigrated into a tragic supporting character in a novel set in the past.
In the original story, she was merely a steppi...
The moment Ye Zhi turned her head, she recognized Ye Hongying and Gao Wenbo who were arguing on the street.
Ever since Ye Zhi saw Gao Wenbo having sexual relations with a strange lesbian at the train station last time, she hasn't seen Gao Wenbo on campus for the past two months.
Ye Zhi also had someone leak some information to Ye Hongying, but she had met Ye Hongying twice in the cloth market, and the other party did not seem to be affected by Gao Wenbo's incident. Of course, their relationship was no better than before, and they still didn't get along as well as before.
However, according to the workers in the garment factory, Ye Hongying no longer plans to open a clothing store, and she buys the goods from them and then resells them to other places. From this perspective, Ye Hongying was also stupid for not placing all her hopes for the future on Gao Wenbo.
When Ye Zhi was about to stop Lu Wei from driving, Ye Hongying on the side of the road slapped Gao Wenbo hard, but Gao Wenbo said nothing and just turned around and left.
Lu Wei seemed to sense that something was wrong with Ye Zhi, so he stepped on the brakes, slowed down, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhi retracted her gaze, shook her head, and said, "No, I just saw my cousin and Gao Wenbo having a conflict."
In fact, Ye Zhi also roughly knew what Ye Hongying was obsessed with, but so many years had passed and Gao Wenbo had never cared about her. Was there any need to continue insisting?
The fashionable lesbian I met at the train station last time might be what Gao Wenbo calls his white moonlight.
Now that Bai Yueguang is back, Ye Hongying will probably still end up as the "miserable female supporting role" and be kicked out by Gao Wenbo.
Lu Wei suddenly stepped on the accelerator, looked at the road ahead, and said, "Don't get involved in their affairs. They are not children. They have to bear the consequences themselves. I met an old classmate before and heard from him that Gao Wenbo's ex-wife came back from Hong Kong. The lesbian we met at the train station before is very likely Gao Wenbo's first wife, the biological mother of his children."
Lu Wei turned the steering wheel and the car turned to the right side of the intersection. He then said, "I think the reason for their dispute is most likely because of Gao Wenbo's ex-wife."
Lu Weiyi has always disliked Ye Hongying, especially since he had met her once before in Xitang Town. Not only did he slander and defame Ye Zhi, he also planned to alienate the relationship between them.
He has never forgotten this incident.
Of course, Lu Wei also disliked Gao Wenbo. He disliked him before, and now that he knew about this, he disliked him even more.
Ye Zhi listened to Lu Wei's words, leaned out of the window, and only saw Ye Hongying's figure from afar. After turning the corner, she saw nothing.
Ye Zhi sighed softly, looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the roadside, and said, "It was wrong from the beginning."
Even without Gao Wenbo, Ye Hongying could have established herself in Yangcheng on her own.
Everything is your own choice. Even if the consequences are too costly, it was caused by you in the first place.
If Ye Hongying hadn't had too high expectations of Gao Wenbo, she wouldn't be so disappointed now.
Lu Wei reached out his hand, held Ye Zhi's slightly cold fingertips, and sighed: "Let's just live our own lives."
Ye Zhi smiled, and shook Lu Wei's warm hand firmly, and smiled: "Okay, let's go home. I haven't cooked for a long time. I will cook your favorite bamboo shoots and three fresh vegetables for you tonight."
It is early spring now, and there are many more bamboo shoots for sale in the streets. When Lu Wei was in Qiongzhou Island, he loved eating bamboo shoots the most.
In recent years, she has been busy with the garment factory or studying, and has not cooked bamboo shoots for a long time.
Hearing this, Lu Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back later and take the kids out for some exercise. I'll leave the kitchen to you, my wife."
Because of the car, the journey was shortened a lot and we returned to the family compound in less than half an hour.
When the children heard the sound of the car, they immediately rushed out of the house and shouted, "Dad, Mom, Lu Xingyun just stole my toy!"
"Mom, it was Lu Xingzhou who stole my tank first! He also stole the chocolates from my cabinet!"
After the two sons had filed their complaints, it was soon the turn of the two daughters. Pingping was the first to hug Ye Zhi's waist, crying and shouting, "Mom, An An just tore up my painting. I was going to give that painting to you."
An An stuck out her tongue at Ping Ping and quickly said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I just thought you didn't want it, so I planned to tear some off to practice calligraphy."
"Dad, An An did it on purpose. The princess she drew was ugly, and she saw that mine was pretty, so she tore up my drawing."
Lu Wei and Ye Zhi, who had just got off the car, looked at each other and sighed in unison.
With so many children, the happy times are doubled, but the troubles are also doubled.
Ye Zhi put down her phone, took the big roast goose from Lu Wei's hand, and said, "My mother is cooking tonight. It's getting late now. I'll go cook first." After that, Ye Zhi slipped away.
Lu Wei: “…”
"Wife, you abandoned me!"
When they ran to the front door of the house, Ye Zhi said to the two girls following behind her, "Baby, go find dad if you have anything to do. When dad came back just now, he said he would buy you some popcorn. Go and ask him to take you to buy a bowl."
When Ping Ping and An An heard this, they immediately laughed it off and forgot about the painting. They ran back and grabbed Lu Wei's hand, shouting, "Popcorn, popcorn!"
Lu Wei: “???”
I don’t know who doesn’t allow children to eat snacks before meals?
Ye Zhi watched Lu Wei reluctantly leading a few jumping children towards the supply and marketing cooperative in the family compound, smiled slightly, then carried a large roast goose into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
Two weeks later, after Ye Zhi and Lu Wei sent their children to school, they went to Zhang Xiaomei and Ye Aiguo's breakfast shop.
It happened to be rush hour, and workers from several nearby state-owned factories loved to buy breakfast here on their way to work by bicycle. They were the busiest in the morning.
Sometimes when Ye Zhi doesn’t have classes in the morning, she will help out here.
However, Lu Wei had to rush back for a meeting today, so she finished her breakfast and prepared to go back to school.
Zhang Xiaomei suddenly called Ye Zhi and lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, have you seen Hongying's man at school recently?"
Ye Zhi shook her head: "It's rare, what's wrong?"
Zhang Xiaomei sighed and said, "I heard from your eldest brother that your third aunt and your two cousins came from Xitang Town. I heard that it was because Gao Wenbo was going to divorce Ye Hongying."
Although Zhang Xiaomei and Li Ermei don't get along, Ye Hongying is still a child of the old Ye family and is here alone, so Zhang Xiaomei wants to ask what's going on.
Ye Zhi was silent for a while, then said, "I have seen Hongying and Gao Wenbo have a conflict before."
Half a month ago, Ye Zhi saw Ye Hongying and Gao Wenbo arguing on the roadside and asked someone about the situation.
I heard that Gao Wenbo was planning to divorce recently, but Ye Hongying disagreed and even went to Gao Wenbo’s dormitory and made trouble twice. Many classmates saw it.
Then, Ye Zhi told Zhang Xiaomei what she had seen at the train station, saying, "Lu Wei said that the female comrade was Gao Wenbo's ex-wife, the biological mother of Gao Wenbo's children, and she had just returned from Hong Kong."
Zhang Xiaomei frowned and said, "No wonder, it turns out to be like this. Then..."
Zhang Xiaomei sighed, "Even if the ex-wife comes back, Hongying has been married to Gao Wenbo for so many years. She has worked hard to raise several children, but now that the ex-wife is back, she wants to kick Hongying out of the house."
"What's the difference between that and hiring a nanny? What a bastard!" Zhang Xiaomei became more and more excited as she spoke, her mind involuntarily recalling what happened in the past.
If my daughter had been so stupid as to insist on marrying Gao Wenbo, it would be my daughter who is experiencing these things now.
Zhang Xiaomei sighed heavily again: "Tell me, what does Hongying want from that guy? She has no sense of responsibility at all!"
Ye Zhi rubbed Zhang Xiaomei's back and said, "Mom, don't think too much. Aunt San and my cousin will come over this time and will probably help Hongying solve this problem."
Li Ermei is not someone who can be easily fooled. She came to Yangcheng this time probably to seek justice for Ye Hongying.
Ye Zhi did not intend to interfere in this matter. After so many things had happened, if Ye Hongying still wanted to stay with Gao Wenbo, she would be asking for trouble.
Zhang Xiaomei nodded. "I didn't think much of it. I just felt sorry for Hongying, who had wasted ten years of her youth on a man like this."
Then she added, "Okay, stop meddling in other people's business and study hard."
Ye Zhi nodded: "I understand, mother. I will go back to school first."
Lu Wei drove Ye Zhi back to the university gate. When getting out of the car, Lu Wei also reminded her: "Be careful when you go back, and don't mind other people's business."
Ye Zhi couldn't help but pinch Lu Wei's arm and snorted, "Alright, alright, I'm not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business!"
Lu Wei smiled and said, "Yes, my wife is just a gossiper."
Ye Zhi really hit the other person hard this time and said, "Get lost and go back to the meeting!"
After finishing a morning of classes, Ye Zhi and Fang Meijuan prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat, but as soon as they walked out of the door of the teaching building, they heard people fighting on the school road.
The man's voice was loud and familiar. Even though Ye Zhi hadn't seen him for several years, she recognized him at once.
Li Ermei pointed at Gao Wenbo, who was dressed in fancy clothes, and cursed: "You are an ungrateful man who abandoned his wife. It's a pity that Hongying treated you and your children like her own and raised them with great care. Now, you want to divorce Hongying just because you are unhappy. Are you a human being? Come and see, there is a ungrateful man here! Come and help my girl judge the matter!"
After Li Ermei finished speaking, she took out a handkerchief and sat down on the cement floor of the school road, bursting into tears.
Gao Wenbo, who was being accused, had a stern face and looked coldly at Li Ermei who was crying on the ground without saying a word.
Ye Hongying's eldest brother and second brother each held a rolling pin, and they looked like they were ready to rush up and fight with each other at any time.
Fang Meijuan looked over from a distance and saw Gao Wenbo's figure. She nudged Ye Zhi's arm with her elbow and said, "Isn't that your cousin's husband? What's going on? Are your cousin's relatives here to seek justice for her? Why don't we go over and take a look?"
Because Ye Hongying had come to the school to cause trouble twice before, Fang Meijuan also watched the process. After several conversations, Fang Meijuan also knew the relationship between her and Ye Hongying.
However, Ye Zhi didn't want to go over there. No one could interfere in what was happening between Ye Hongying and Gao Wenbo.
But before Ye Zhi could agree, the curious Fang Meijuan had already pulled her towards the crowd and squeezed into it.
As soon as he came over, Ye Hongying's eldest brother looked at Gao Wenbo fiercely, and then questioned him: "Mr. Gao, tell us the truth in front of our mother and Hongying today. Are you really going to abandon my little sister?"
Although he was asking the other party, Brother Ye Hongying grabbed a huge rolling pin, as if as long as the other party said "yes", he would rush up and give him a good beating.
After hearing what elder brother Ye Hongying asked, Gao Wenbo raised his eyes, then looked at the students watching around him, and said slowly: "Brother, you know after all these years, Hongying and I are not compatible in terms of personality or other aspects."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ermei, who had been crying, got up from the ground, spit at Gao Wenbo and said angrily: "Bullshit! How did my Hongying do anything bad to you? Don't forget, you pushed my Hongying and caused her to have a miscarriage, and now she can't get pregnant for so many years! How dare you say that you don't agree? You prevented my Hongying from getting pregnant, so you have to be responsible for her for the rest of her life!" After saying that, she stretched out her hand and scratched Gao Wenbo's face a few times.
Gao Wenbo's face gradually became ugly. He pursed his lips and said nothing, allowing Li Ermei to scratch and hit him on the body and face.
Seeing this, Ye Hongying immediately grabbed her mother and said, "Mom, we are here to seek justice, please don't touch Wenbo."
Ye Hongying had made up her mind since the Chinese New Year.
Although following Gao Wenbo was really hard, I had already gone through so many years, why would I give up so easily? Why should I give up my place to his white moonlight?
In her previous life, it was because "Ye Zhi" was not strong enough that Gao Wenbo asked her to leave, and she really left.
But after "Ye Zhi" passed away, she became the beauty that Gao Wenbo had been thinking about all his life!
Therefore, Gao Wenbo may not be without feelings for her, but the sudden return of Meng Yunyun disturbed Gao Wenbo's mind.
Of course, Ye Hongying had also thought about it. Even if Gao Wenbo had no feelings for her, she was already in her early thirties. She had not been pregnant since her last miscarriage and she didn't know if she would ever be able to have children again.
So after she divorces Gao Wenbo, will anyone still want her?
She couldn't give up. In a few years, Gao Wenbo would graduate from university. By then, the country would liberalize land transactions, and Gao Wenbo would become a real estate tycoon. What would happen if she endured for a few more years?
It’s better than wasting these ten years of youth, right?
Then, Gao Wenbo said, "Go ahead and hit me. I still say the same thing—"
"divorce."
After saying that, Li Ermei took the rolling pin from the boss's hand and hit Gao Wenbo on the shoulder: "I'll beat you to death, you unfaithful man! If you really dare to divorce Hongying, I'll beat you to death!"
Li Ermei had always wanted to teach Gao Wenbo a lesson, and when she heard him say that, she just took ruthless action and hit Gao Wenbo hard on the shoulder.
But just when she was about to hit her for the second time, a figure almost as tall as Gao Wenbo rushed over, grabbed the rolling pin in Li Ermei's hand, and pushed it forward with force, knocking Li Ermei directly to the ground with a dull "bang" sound.
Ye Zhi recognized that it was Gao Wenbo's eldest son, who was tall and strong, wearing fashionable bell-bottom pants, colorful shirts, and half-long hair. He stepped on Li Ermei's palm with a ferocious look and said, "Old woman, who the hell told you to hit my father? If you move your hand again, I'll break your hand."
Then, two young men came running up from behind, also holding thick wooden sticks in their hands, looking ready to fight at any time.
Ye Zhi couldn't help it. Without thinking, she stood up and walked to Li Ermei's side. She said to Gao Wenbo's eldest son, "Stop it. What do you think this place is? If you touch me again, I will call the police!"
Although Ye Zhi also disliked Li Ermei, she couldn't help but stand up when she saw Gao Wenbo's eldest son bullying her like this.
After not seeing each other for a few years, Li Ermei's hair had turned half white and her back was slightly bent. Her age was not much different from Zhang Xiaomei.
When the eldest son heard the voice, he turned his head to look at Ye Zhi. After just one glance, he paused, as if he remembered who Ye Zhi was. He frowned and said, "Aren't you..."
Gao Wenbo’s eldest son recognized Ye Zhi. When they were young, Ye Zhi had given them steamed buns.
At that time, they thought Ye Zhi was their stepmother and treated her badly.
Who would have thought that after so many years, Ye Zhi not only did not look like Ye Hongying, but instead looked like a girl in her twenties, making people unable to help but take a second look at her.
Gao Wenbo noticed Ye Zhi's arrival and frowned even more deeply than before. He quickly held down his eldest son and said in a calm voice, "Go back. This is none of your business."
The eldest son just snorted coldly, spat at Li Ermei, and then retracted his foot.
Ye Zhi squatted down and wanted to help Li Ermei up, but her eldest son and second son had already helped her up.
The two cousins looked at Ye Zhi, whom they hadn't seen for several years. They were shocked by her pretty face and fashionable dress. Their eyes lingered on Ye Zhi's face for several times. They wanted to recognize her, but they didn't dare to, for fear of recognizing the wrong person.
They had completely forgotten about taking action against Gao Wenbo's son.
Li Ermei screamed in pain "Ouch, ouch——" but didn't go to see Ye Zhi.
When Gao Wenbo's eldest son was about to leave, he suddenly said to Ye Hongying: "We three siblings have never considered you as our mother, you shameless bitch!"
Ye Hongying frowned deeply as she looked at Ye Zhi who stood up to speak for her mother. She didn't know when she came, nor how much she had heard.
She could shamelessly pester Gao Wenbo, but for some reason, she couldn't bear to lose face in front of Ye Zhi!
Since she was a child, she has always wanted to defeat Ye Zhi, even just once!
Whether it is studying or getting married.
But unfortunately, from childhood to adulthood, even if she has lived her whole life again, she still cannot beat Ye Zhi.
A string in Ye Hongying's mind suddenly snapped. She could no longer bear it and slapped her eldest son in the face: "You bastard, I have tolerated you for long enough over the years. You don't treat me as your mother, do you think I treat you as my cheap son?"
