Lu Yu was eleven years older than Lu Yan. When Lu Yan lost her mother at the age of four, Lu Yu was fifteen. He had a bad and rebellious personality. He took Lu Yan to the cemetery and abandoned her, taking pleasure in bullying her. Sometimes he would hit her and kick her.
When Lu Yan was in school, he soaked her books, tore up her homework, hired people to bully her at school, called her the daughter of a mistress, and falsely accused her family of stealing money.
Lu Yan was beautiful from a young age. For the weak, beauty is a disaster. The more beautiful you are, the easier it is to be bullied. In order to hide her appearance, she deliberately made herself ugly.
During the junior high school entrance exam, Lu Yu cornered Lu Yan in an alley and broke her right hand. If someone hadn't happened to be passing by, both of her hands would probably have been broken. Despite her pain, she gritted her teeth and went to the exam location. She took painkillers, wrote with her left hand, and only went to get her bones set after the exam.
Even after so many years, the spot where she broke her leg still aches faintly in the cold weather.
The high school entrance exam was a turning point in her life, and she couldn't afford to make a mistake. Lu Yu's idea of ruining her life was simply a pipe dream. She entered the best high school in the city with the highest score in the city. With her achievements, her so-called father finally started to look at her with respect.
She filled out an application for accommodation. Because of her excellent grades, the school valued her highly. Here, she wouldn't be falsely accused, everyone was working hard to get into a good university, and no one would spend time bullying someone.
High school was the most peaceful three years Lu Yan had ever lived. She learned her lesson during the college entrance examination and arranged for bodyguards in advance when Lu Yu was about to attack her again, thus passing the exam safely.
Her college entrance exam scores got her into her dream university. From then on, she began to pretend and secretly strengthen herself... The Lu family thought she was a useless vase, but they forgot that Lu Yan's middle school and college entrance exam scores were the highest in the city.
Lu Yu tearfully confessed, saying many things in one breath, repeating the words "I'm sorry" and "I was wrong" countless times.
"Anything else?"
Lu Yu had talked himself hoarse, but he really couldn't remember what else he had done to offend Lu Yan.
“Lu Yan, I’ve said what I needed to say. I’m sorry, I was wrong. You can hit me or scold me, just wait until I get out. You can make me pay for what I did to you twice over.”
Being beaten up by Lu Yan alone is better than being bullied by dozens of people in prison.
Lu Yan: "You think you can get my forgiveness just by talking?"
Looking at Lu Yan's indifferent and disdainful eyes, Lu Yu gritted his teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed in Lu Yan's direction.
Lu Yan couldn't see anyone, but she heard the sound of heads being pounded repeatedly, and the sound was very loud.
"not enough."
Lu Yu suddenly looked up: "You..."
Lu Yan sneered, "You don't think that I can forgive you and rescue you by saying sorry and kowtowing a few times, do you? Why should I? You've wronged me, and you've wronged my mother even more. When my mother was alive, she took care of you and your brother with all her heart, but how did you treat her? You called her a vixen and a mistress. Every word you said was like cutting her flesh and digging out her heart."
"Whether my mother is a mistress or not, your Lu family knows better than anyone else, especially you, Lu Yu. Do you think you can fool yourself with a lie you made up!"
Lu Yan's mother had a beautiful name—Lin Zhixue. She died on a snowy day.
Lu Yu's mother is Lin Zhixue's older sister. She has been in poor health since childhood, and her health deteriorated after giving birth to Lu Mei. Doctors advised her not to have any more children, but she always wanted a son. After raising her for ten years, she became pregnant with Lu Yu. Due to her poor health and advanced maternal age, this pregnancy was destined to be very dangerous, so she prepared for the worst.
If she dies during childbirth, what will happen to her two children? The children need their mother's company; what if her husband remarries and the stepmother abuses the children?
Rather than letting her husband find someone himself, she decided to let her choose, so she set her sights on her younger sister.
Lin Zhixue is beautiful and gentle. She is young and easy to manage since she just graduated. With her around, her children will not have to worry about being taken care of.
Lin Zhixue had always listened to her older sister since she was a child. Because of the age difference, she was essentially raised by her sister. However, she never expected that her sister would sell her out behind her back.
Lu Nanjun was a hypocrite who pretended to refuse several times, but then accepted his wife's arrangement under the pretense of "having no other choice".
Why not accept it?
The young woman, in the prime of her life, was full of collagen, younger and prettier than his wife, without wrinkles or unsightly stretch marks.
He had clearly been eyeing his sister-in-law for a long time, but he cultivated an image of a "good husband" and a "good father" for himself, getting the benefits while pretending to be innocent.
It was impossible for Lin Zhixue to like Lu Nanjun, as Lin Zhixue already had a boyfriend at the time.
In order to better control her, her older sister drugged her and sent her to Lu Nanjun's bed. Afterwards, she even framed her, saying that she had seduced him while drunk.
When Lin Zhixue woke up, she was still dizzy. After being slapped by her sister, she realized that she was lying on her brother-in-law's bed.
Under the verbal pressure from her older sister, she began to doubt herself, felt guilty and remorseful towards her sister, and felt panicked and uneasy. In order to gain her sister's forgiveness, she decided to stay and atone for her sins.
The way to atone for her sins was to marry into the Lu family and help raise her children after her sister's death.
Lu Yan's mother was trapped in the Lu family for fifteen years. Like a bird with broken wings, she gradually lost her vitality and devoted all her energy to her sister's two children.
She did everything she could, but received no understanding in return. Her two children inherited their parents' selfish genes and never gave Lin Zhixue a kind look. They called her by her full name and cursed her as a mistress behind her back.
