Therefore, she wouldn't care at all about his involvement in shady businesses, Jiang Yichen's abuse of cats and dogs, or even his plagiarism.

Because their outwardly glamorous appearance already makes her look good, and they also give her money to spend.

Now he's willing to give her money so she can leave and live a good life.

Boom—

Rumble rumble—

The drizzle suddenly turned into a downpour, pounding against the windows and roof. Purple lightning seemed to be venting its anger, striking down one after another, with a deafening roar that echoed in our ears.

"Tell me, where did you hide the documents!" Jiang Yuanhao tightened his grip on his mother's shoulders, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Jiang Yuanhao's expression, Jiang's mother felt a strong sense of familiarity, which reminded her of the time when her husband had drawn a knife to kill her, and he had the same expression.

Just as Jiang's mother was about to speak, a deafening sound came from outside the door, along with exclamations from the surrounding neighbors.

As the lightning struck, it seemed to cleave the sky in two, its force overwhelming.

Boom—

The trees in the Jiang family's courtyard were charred and collapsed to the ground with a crash, landing on the nearby storage shed.

The storage shed couldn't support the weight of the tree, and the roof collapsed.

This commotion prompted the neighbors to look up from their apartments toward the Jiang family's house.

Some curious onlookers, dressed in raincoats, carrying umbrellas, and flashlights, ran out to see what was happening.

That lightning bolt was huge; even they were terrified when it struck.

But then I thought about it again. The Jiang family had done so many bad things, they deserved to be struck by lightning long ago. It was too good for them that the lightning only struck that tree.

When Jiang's mother saw the tree fall, her expression turned panicked and ugly. She mustered up some strength and pushed Jiang Yuanhao aside, then ran outside.
