Chapter 144 No matter how big someone else's roof is, it is not as good as having your own umbrella

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind."

Wan Zixuan and everyone else looked at Wen Yan.

Wan Zixuan frowned, "Miss Wen, may I ask, what do you mean by this?"

When Wen Yan was telling her mother's fortune, she was standing behind the bushes in the dark.

She reported her mother by her real name, and knew that she was going to come to the Tang family to attend the party tonight, and planned to expose her directly in front of everyone.

When Wen Yan said that her mother was about to be ruined and faced the disaster of imprisonment, she was stunned.

Only Han Xu knew her plan, and she had been planning it for three whole years.

The most confidential secrets were all predicted by her!

It is conceivable that this young woman, who is a few years younger than her, has real skills.

There is no shortage of extraordinary people in this world.

Wan Zixuan has always maintained a respectful heart for unknown things.

She didn't think Wen Yan would say those eight words for no reason.

Wen Yan saw that Wan Zixuan and Madam Wan were different types of people, and she was still upright and had a bottom line in her heart.

She also didn't want to see Wan Zixuan end up with nothing and make wedding dresses for others. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Be careful of the person next to you."

Wen Yan didn't say anything more after saying this.

She went to the bathroom.

Si Moyan followed her closely.

Wen Yan looked back at the tall and stern man, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Husband, do you still want to follow me when I go to the bathroom?"

Si Moyan looked at her with dark eyes, "The people who came tonight are all powerful people. Your ability has been seen by them. I am afraid that some people will harm you for their own benefit."

Wen Yan couldn't help but smile. She took the initiative to tiptoe and kissed the man's thin lips.

"Husband, I give you a kiss."

Although she can deal with those who want to do something bad to her with her own ability, she is still very moved to have such a person by her side to take care of her carefully.

A few minutes later, Wen Yan came out of the bathroom.

She saw a noble woman struggling with Si Moyan.

Si Moyan frowned, "My wife is not a savior!"

When the lady saw Wen Yan coming out, she quickly walked around Si Moyan and came to Wen Yan's side.

Without waiting for Wen Yan's reaction, she knelt down with a thump.

Si Moyan quickly pulled Wen Yan behind him, "Ms. Liu, what on earth do you want to do?"

Liu Yunru is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, a Hong Kong watch tycoon. When she was young, she was a famous professional model in the country.

Later, she married into a wealthy family and became a full-time wife.

Wen Yan looked at Liu Yunru, who was only in her early forties but already had white hair. She frowned slightly, "What's wrong with you?"

The wealthy lady suddenly knelt down to her, probably because she encountered a problem that she couldn't solve.

Liu Yunru was wearing a long-sleeved suit jacket today. When Wen Yan asked her what happened, she slowly rolled up her sleeves.

Wen Yan and Si Moyan were shocked to see the horrible knife marks on her wrist and a piece of rotten flesh filled with pus.

Si Moyan reached out and helped Liu Yunru up.

Wen Yan nodded to Liu Yunru, "Ms. Liu, just say whatever you want to say!"

Liu Yunru originally had no hope for life. She lived like a walking corpse every day. She

couldn't die, but she was in pain when she lived.

"Miss Wen, I see that you calculated Madam Wan's fate so accurately. I also want to ask you to help me calculate my fate. I want to die, but I can't die. How can I end my life?"

Wen Yan looked at Liu Yunru's face carefully, and she frowned, "Your full name and date of birth."

Liu Yunru immediately reported her full name and date of birth.

Wen Yan calculated it first, and then looked up Liu Yunru's past in the system.

[No wonder Liu Yunru has white hair at such a young age. It turns out that her mother-in-law borrowed her life. ]

Simoyan's dark eyes narrowed slightly.

The Zhao family actually did such a sinister thing?

Wen Yan pursed her lips, frowned and looked at Liu Yunru, "Your husband is a loving couple with you in front of outsiders, but in private, he treats you coldly and violently, and your son treats you badly. But your mother-in-law always protects you and loves you as her own daughter, right?"

Liu Yunru nodded, "Yes."

Although she was loved by her mother-in-law, she lived on thin ice in the Zhao family.

When she first married into the Zhao family, she and her husband loved each other very much, and gave birth to a son a year later.

The family of three lived happily.

Later, her father-in-law passed away, the company encountered a financial crisis, and her husband became busy with work. She stayed at home full-time to take care of the children and her mother-in-law who was often sick.

At that time, the company was almost bankrupt and could not afford a maid, so she got up early every day to make breakfast, prepare dinner at night, and occasionally stayed up late to take care of her mother-in-law, keeping everything in the house in order.

Day after day, year after year.

As her husband grew older, he became more mature, stable and masculine.

The child also grew up and became a handsome boy, but she became a yellow-faced woman.

Even at that time, she did not feel the crisis. She

still felt that she was an indispensable part of the family.

It was not until her husband began to ignore her and her son disliked her for not being as young and pretty as her classmates' mothers that she realized that everything she had done before was just self-admiration.

They felt that she did not have to go to work and was the most relaxed and cheapest person in the family.

She asked a private investigator to investigate her husband. He had not cheated on her. It was just that his heart no longer had her.

Her son also disliked her and got angry at her.

The only person in the family who was kind to her was her mother-in-law.

But what made her feel strange was that in the past year, her memory began to deteriorate. She often had health problems, such as stomachache, eye pain, and leg soreness, which often tortured her and made her unable to sleep at night.

She went to see a doctor, who said she just had a minor problem.

Later, she thought she was suffering from depression, but the psychiatrist said she just had mild anxiety and was not depressed.

She tried to change herself and go out to socialize with the ladies.

Every time there was a party, she actively participated and worked hard to improve herself.

However, she was often excluded because she was slow to think and could not follow their conversations, and she would faint for no reason due to physical weakness.

Later, many ladies stopped inviting her.

This time, it was Mrs. Tang who was kind and treated her equally, so she invited her.

"Miss Wen, I don't know what happened to me. I live in pain every day. These marks on my body are all caused by myself. I want to commit suicide, but I can't die every time!"

Wen Yan sighed slightly, "How should I put it? Women should love themselves more. All your efforts are just your self-touching in the eyes of your husband and your son. When you lose your self-worth, you are just a piece of garbage that can be thrown away at will in their eyes."

"In addition, some of your physical conditions now are because someone wants to borrow your life and kowtows to your door every midnight."

Liu Yunru widened her eyes in surprise, "Bowing life?"

Wen Yan nodded, "Is your mother-in-law going to hold a 70-year-old birthday banquet soon?"

"Yes."

"If I'm not mistaken, she should kowtow to you in front of all the guests that day, and you will suddenly die."

Liu Yunru shook her body unsteadily, "You mean, it's my mother-in-law who kowtowed to me?"

Liu Yunru shook her head in disbelief, "How could it be, she has always been very good to me..."

Liu Yunru obviously didn't believe it.

My mother-in-law was the best person in the Zhao family to her, and it was impossible for her to do such a wicked thing.

Seeing Liu Yunru shaking her head, Wen Yan expressed her understanding, "You probably won't believe this kind of thing if you haven't seen it with your own eyes. You can observe it quietly at midnight tonight."

Liu Yunru smiled bitterly, "Although I don't believe that my mother-in-law will harm me, I still thank Miss Wen for reminding me."

Looking at the haggard woman in front of her, Wen Yan couldn't help but remind her, "Ms. Liu, no matter how big other people's roofs are, they are not as good as your own umbrella. You are only in your early forties now, and you can still find your own light again."

Seeing the tenderness and encouragement in Wen Yan's eyes, Liu Yunru burst into tears.

She raised her children with great difficulty, took care of her husband and mother-in-law, but found that she had lost herself a long time ago.

No job, no savings, no social life, no confidence, and no one to rely on.

When her husband despised her for being a shrewd woman who only knew how to be a freeloader, and the son she raised complained that she was not as young, beautiful, and successful as his classmates' mothers, her heart felt like it was stabbed with thousands of knives.

When her husband despised her for spending too much money, how much money did she actually spend on herself?

Her son's tuition and training fees, her mother-in-law's medical expenses, and the family's living expenses.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had a manicure, dyed her hair, or gone shopping.

In the eyes of her husband and son, the hard work and patience she put in were just like a full-time nanny who enjoyed herself without having to work.

How sad!

After leaving Mrs. Tang's house, Liu Yunru drove home.

When passing by a hotel, she saw her son Zhao Yu coming out of a party with his classmates.

Zhao Yu is a senior this year. She has taken good care of him since he was young, and he is tall and handsome.

He must have drunk some wine, and he was staggering.

Although she was rejected by her son, she still loved him dearly. Liu Yunru couldn't help but get out of the car and walk towards him.

Zhao Yu didn't see Liu Yunru. He turned around and talked to a fair-skinned girl.

"Qianqian, I didn't expect your mother is the famous model Li Liying. No wonder you are so tall and beautiful."

Li Liying?

Liu Yunru hadn't heard this name for a long time.

Liu Yunru was also a model when she was young, and she and Li Liying were sworn enemies.

But didn't Li Liying marry abroad? After retiring, she often posted vlogs about her life as a rich wife on social media platforms. Liu Yunru knew that she had a daughter who was the same age as her son.

"Zhao Yu, you know the situation in our family. My father divorced my mother because he thought she couldn't give birth to a son. My mother can only go back to her old job to raise me, but she is old and can't go back to the past."

"No way, your mother takes good care of herself. I think she is only in her early thirties. Unlike my mother, she is fat and has a dark yellow complexion. Now not only is her hair gray, but she also has age spots on her face. She is so relaxed at home, but she doesn't know how to take good care of herself. No wonder my father doesn't want to take her out!"

Li Qianqian covered her mouth and smiled softly, "I heard that your mother and my mother used to work in the same company. Your mother really doesn't pay enough attention to her health. "Your mother is lucky. She married your father and gave birth to you. She has no worries about food and clothing in her life. Unlike my mother, the endorsement she had booked some time ago was snatched away by a young model."

Zhao Yu frowned, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "My father's watch company is looking for a spokesperson. I will recommend your mother to my father!"

When she heard this, a fishy sweetness welled up in Liu Yunru's throat.

This is really her filial son!

Liu Yunru returned to the Zhao family in a daze. Usually, she would wait for her husband and son to come back, and she would go to bed after making supper, but today, she went straight back to the bedroom.

Her mother-in-law came and knocked on the door to call her, but she ignored it.

Not long after, her son came back and knocked on the door, asking her to make him some sobering tea and prepare some midnight snacks, but she pretended not to hear him.

She fell asleep in a daze, and woke up from a nightmare at around midnight.

She opened her eyes, picked up her phone and checked the time.

There were still ten minutes until midnight.

Miss Wen's words came to her mind unconsciously.

Although she thought it was a bit ridiculous, she quickly got out of bed and ran to the empty guest room across the street when she thought about Mrs. Wan's fate.

It was early morning, and she opened the door a crack and looked out quietly.

She did not see her mother-in-law.

She breathed a sigh of relief, for she knew her mother-in-law would not treat her like that.

But the next second——
