Chapter 34 [Two-in-one] Know the truth...
Before the system sent this gift, Yan Sui had thought about revenge.
She hated Yan Zhaoting. In the years immediately following the incident, she dreamed of him countless times, repeatedly asking him if he had no feelings for this family at all and why he could be so cruel.
Yan Zhaoting in the dream never responded to her, but his cold eyes when he looked at her told her the answer to this question.
A person's goodness can be pretended, and Yan Zhaoting pretended for seventeen years.
Did he give up their family because he loved that third person?
No, no, he only loves himself.
It just happened that the woman and he were on the same front.
A gift receiving window sent by the system popped up in front of her. There was no sound in her mind, only the faint sound of radio waves telling her that it was still there, just waiting for her answer.
Yan Sui closed her eyes, and she fell silent. The systems in her body also fell silent. The entire room seemed to be trapped in a confined space, without any sound.
Time passed minute by minute, and the electric wave in her ear was always there, but it did not make any sound to urge her.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Sui slowly opened her eyelids, and a flash of coldness flashed across her eyes.
She raised her hand and flicked her fingers in the air.
Then, the window visible only to her flickered slightly, and the "Accept" button lit up between "Accept" and "Reject".
Yan Sui chose to accept this gift:
"I want to know more about Tian Ji."
.
Tian Ji was recruited by Yan Zhaoting when he started this business that could not be made public.
He was a fellow villager from the same village as Yan Zhaoting. His daughter was ill and he needed money urgently, so he approached Yan Zhaoting to borrow some. Yan Zhaoting had just started that business and was struggling to find a good knife when Tian Ji approached him.
At first, Tian Ji was just an employee who helped him handle the internal affairs of the factory, but the financial difficulties at home forced him to borrow more money from Yan Zhaoting.
The last time he spoke, Yan Zhaoting asked him if he wanted to help him, so that he could get more money and solve the current difficulties the family was facing.
Thinking of the family's financial difficulties and his little daughter's illness, Tian Ji agreed to Yan Zhaoting's request without much hesitation and became a knife in his hand.
For so many years, he has been working diligently under Yan Zhaoting.
Because he mainly helped Yan Zhaoting do things that couldn't be seen, most of their meetings were outside, not at the factory or at home. Sui Yuling hadn't known about this person for all these years.
But Tian Ji was no fool, he knew that he was just a knife in Yan Zhaoting's hand, and what he did was not something that could be seen in public.
Once the truth comes out, he will be the shield that Yan Zhaoting uses as a shield.
Although he was ready to sacrifice himself to save his family, when the time came, he would take on all the evidence as long as Yan Zhaoting could take good care of his family.
But he still secretly left behind evidence that could prove that Yan Zhaoting was the mastermind behind this incident.
If Yan Zhaoting could take good care of his family, he would not reveal a word about him.
If Yan Zhaoting couldn't do it, he would definitely drag him into the mess.
Not for any reason, just to leave a way out for him and my whole family.
"In fact, the money Tian Ji had saved from working for Yan Zhaoting over the years was enough to treat her daughter's illness, and the debt had been paid off. He had long wanted to get away from Yan Zhaoting.
"But how could Yan Zhaoting let someone who knew everything get away with this mess?
"The best way to unite people and bring them together is to tie them together with one string."
The system uploaded all of Tian Ji's information into Yan Sui's mind, and Yan Sui read the key points from this information: "He wants to leave, right?"
He had originally sought out Yan Zhaoting to treat his daughter's illness. Now that his daughter's illness had been cured, if he could get out of this mess, he didn't want to do this dangerous thing again.
The system said: "Yes, Tian Ji has always wanted to take his family away from this place."
"You mean, I can use this to take action against Tian Ji," Yan Sui frowned suddenly when she thought of this, "but his hands are stained with those things, and he won't be clean even if he leaves."
Yan Sui is just a high school student. How can she help Tian Ji get out of this matter with her own strength?
Moreover, Tian Ji was not a good person. He could not wash away the things on his hands. From the day he promised Yan Zhaoting to work for him, no matter what happened later, he had to bear the corresponding consequences for his actions.
"He's willing to give everything for his wife and children," the system reminded Yan Sui in her mind at the right time. "Tian Ji has two daughters. Besides the sick younger daughter Tian Liang, there's an older daughter named Tian Shan who's in junior high school. Tian Ji never told his family what he did for a living. His wife and children always believed that all the family money came from his employment with Yan Zhaoting, who loaned it to him because he was from the same village and an employee."
Yan Sui frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Host, Yan Zhaoting is capable of doing something unfaithful, and his hands and feet are not clean."
Almost instantly, Yan Sui's heart trembled, and she guessed the meaning of the system's words: "Tian Ji's eldest daughter?"
System: "Master, this is also the purpose of my giving you this gift."
According to the system's message, Tian Ji's eldest daughter, Tian Shan, didn't know that the money for her sister's medical treatment was earned by Tian Ji working hard for Yan Zhaoting. She thought that Yan Zhaoting lent it to their family because of his father.
When Yan Zhaoting learned that Tian Ji had concealed the source of his income, he took advantage of the information misunderstanding of his family. After molesting his daughter while drunk, he used this as a threat to prevent his daughter from telling anyone about it.
Adolescent girls are naturally sensitive. After encountering this incident, she was afraid that she would be looked at strangely by others if the matter became known, so she kept it a secret for two years.
"In his previous life, Tian Ji was arrested and sentenced to death. He didn't know that after his death, Yan Zhaoting didn't take care of his family as they had promised. Because of his affairs, Tian Ji's family lost all their money and suffered the gossip of the neighbors. They moved away from Sushan to another place."
The system paused and said, "Host, you are right. Yan Zhaoting doesn't love anyone but himself. He is an extremely selfish person."
Yan Sui didn't know what the system said. In her previous life, her story line and Tian Ji's family's were two completely separate forked lines. They didn't know each other, but they ended up homeless because of the same person.
Even though she didn't know Tian Ji, nor did she know Tian Ji's daughter or family, Yan Sui's heart still tightened after hearing what the system said.
She had a strong heart, which was why she was able to support her family and help them get out of the difficult situation. But not everyone is like her, and the shadow cast by some things will always stay with them.
"Host, you can use these clues to bring down Yan Zhaoting and save yourself and another family from tragedy."

The next morning, when Yan Sui went downstairs, the dining table was already covered with breakfast.
She originally thought that it was breakfast made by her aunt. Just when she was about to go back upstairs to find her mother, Sui Yuling lifted the kitchen curtain and came out with a stack of side dishes.
"Are you up? Come sit down and eat." Sui Yuling smiled at Yan Sui and gently placed the plate of snacks on the dining table.
She smiled brightly as she tidied the dishes on the table. Seeing Yan Sui still standing there in a daze, she called out, "What are you standing there for? Come and eat."
Yan Sui paused, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Bowls and chopsticks were handed to her. As she took them, she looked up to observe the expression on Sui Yuling's face.
If the latter's brows were not still showing fatigue and his eyes were not bloodshot, Yan Sui would really think that everything that happened last night was a dream.
Perhaps because they were worried about Sui Yuling, Ping'an and his sister got up early today, which was rare for them. The whole family sat together at the dining table to have breakfast.
Sui Yuling poured a bowl of soup for each of the three children and placed it in front of them: "Have some soup. Auntie just said that today's soup tastes good."
Yan Jiaping drank while glancing at Sui Yuling.
Yan Jiaan couldn't hold back his temper. After drinking half a bowl of soup, he couldn't help but ask Sui Yuling, "Mom, are you still angry with my sister?"
Sui Yuling paused while holding the bowl of soup. "What?"
"Mom! Don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong. She shouldn't have quarreled with you." Yan Jiaping also immediately "admitted his mistake" on behalf of Yan Sui.
Listening to the brother and sister's words, Sui Yuling had a rough idea of what was going on. She glanced calmly in the direction of her eldest daughter and said, "How could Mom be angry with your sister? Come on, eat!"
After breakfast, Yan Jiaping and Yan Jiaan had cram school at noon, so they hurriedly packed up and went out.
My aunt went to buy groceries, and Yan Zhaoting didn't come back last night, so only Yan Sui and Sui Yuling were left at home.
After all the irrelevant people left, Sui Yuling led Yan Sui back to her room and locked the door before she felt relieved.
She held Yan Sui's hand, and a cloud of worry appeared between her brows again: "Sui Sui, tell mom the truth, your dad, when did you know about your dad's affairs? Did Xiaoshu tell you?"
Yan Sui held Sui Yuling's hand and said seriously, "Mom, I'll tell you how I know this later, okay? Just believe me, everything you saw last night was true."
Sui Yuling stared at her for a long while with red eyes, then lowered her head dejectedly: "Mom thought about it all night last night, I was wondering if your father was confused for a moment-"
"No!" Before Sui Yuling could finish her words, Yan Sui immediately interrupted her with a cold and firm voice.
Sui Yuling was stunned.
Yan Sui had long guessed that Sui Yuling was too soft-hearted. Before she made up her mind, she would keep finding excuses for Yan Zhaoting in her heart.
She looked at her mother deeply, pulled her hand away, turned around and sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with both hands, unlocking the document.
"Look for yourself, Mom! He's not just confused for a moment. He's been planning this for a long, long time."
The document contained a photo of Yan Zhaoting and that woman.
Yan Sui glanced at Sui Yuling and saw that she was still struggling. She clicked on another document and said, "He has long wanted to leave us and live abroad with that woman."
Although many things in the document sent by Lin Jingyang cannot be used in court, they can be used to shatter Sui Yuling's fantasies.
Yan Sui placed Sui Yuling's hand on the mouse and let her browse the information in the document herself.
"Some time ago, when I was having dinner with my friends in a restaurant, I happened to see him and that woman eating there. Sitting in front of them was the owner of the house he wanted to buy."
Sui Yuling was shocked and her lips trembled constantly.
Meeting her gaze, Yan Sui's eyes flushed slightly: "Mom, you want to ask me how I know these things, right?"
"It was a coincidence. The owner of that apartment knew my friend and they were very close. At my request, they decided to help me and copied the information for me.
"If I hadn't happened to be eating at that restaurant, and if the landlord and my friend hadn't happened to know each other," Yan Sui said with tears in her eyes, "Yan Zhaoting would have kept this a secret from us forever, and we would never have known."
Sui Yuling pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, "But he used our joint property to buy the house. If we divorce, I can get it back."
Yan Sui shook her head and took out the receipt that Tan Shu had given her two days ago from the drawer: "He transferred the family property out a long time ago. He has planned everything you can think of."
The amount on the receipt given by Tan Shu is huge. If there is one, there may be two or three.
Yan Zhaoting has all sorts of ways to transfer the family's property until the family is emptied. He will then turn his attention to letting Sui Yuling borrow money.
"You are planning the future of our family, and he is planning to leave."
In an instant, the room fell into deathly silence.
Yan Sui's words stabbed straight into Sui Yuling's heart, leaving a sharp wound on it.
At that moment, Sui Yuling's heart ached. She instinctively raised her hand to hold it, while her other hand, holding the receipt, trembled constantly. Tears streamed down her face, and she opened her mouth, trying to breathe, sobbing non-stop.
The air seemed to become thinner around her. She kept lowering her chest and tears kept flowing, but no sound was made.
After a long moment, she growled softly, the sob that had been suppressed in her throat escaping with the sound of the words, "How could he do this to me!"
Sui Yuling no longer cared about her daughter standing in front of her. She slipped off the chair and fell to the floor.
"I've been married to him for so many years, I gave birth to children for him, I ran the factory in his early years, and later took care of the family. Why would he treat me like this! For so many years, I gave up my social circle and my job for him. I don't ask for anything in return, I just want a stable family! Why does Yan Zhaoting treat me like this!"
She cried and growled, and the words that came out of her throat were all about her unwillingness and regret for this relationship.
Yan Sui knelt behind her, put his arms through her shoulders, and held her tightly in his arms.
She rested her forehead on Sui Yuling's shoulder and refused to let go of her hand no matter how she struggled. She wanted to give Sui Yuling some strength this way.
In fact, if Sui Yuling had completely given up on Yan Zhaoting because of what happened yesterday, Yan Sui wanted to lay the groundwork step by step to reveal these evidences to Sui Yuling.
She knew that a person's endurance was limited, and that taking things step by step was the best approach.
But after what happened last night, Sui Yuling still had illusions about Yan Zhaoting. Yan Sui could only cruelly put all the evidence in front of her at once to completely shatter her mother's illusions.
"Mom." Yan Sui called softly, and Sui Yuling's body suddenly stiffened.
Although it wasn't the right time, Yan Sui still chose to speak out: "In a few days, Yan Zhaoting might tell you that the factory is losing money and needs to borrow money from abroad. Then he'll ask you to help him with the loan."
Meeting Sui Yuling's eyes, Yan Sui said softly, "You must be careful and don't sign any documents handed to you by Yan Zhaoting."
"What happened before is over. We need to be careful from now on. I still have to take the college entrance exam, and Ping An still has to take the high school entrance exam. The three of us need you."
"Help me, Mom."
The gentle tone was full of power.
Sui Yuling leaned on Yan Sui's arm, tears still flowing, but her back facing Yan Sui straightened. After an unknown amount of time, she nodded her head slightly.
—
on Monday,
The classroom today was a little more bustling than usual.
Yan Sui finished the last big question on the test paper. When the pen drew the last mark, the tense string in her mind relaxed and her straight shoulders slumped.
Chen Ling's eyes were fixed on the watch in her hand, and she counted down bit by bit following the speed of the watch hands.
"Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
Yan Sui glanced at her and saw that she was concentrating, and smiled silently.
As Chen Ling finished speaking the last number, the bell for the end of class rang out from the broadcast in front of the classroom.
Chen Ling cheered, "get out of class is over!" and turned sideways to yell in Wen Qingman's direction, "Hurry up! If you're late, you won't be able to grab a good seat!"
"I know, I know."
Chen Ling had packed her schoolbag early. After reminding Wen Qingman, she stuffed the last test paper on the table into her backpack, zipped it up, closed the bag, and was ready to leave at any time.
Wen Qingman, as it happened, was a bit of a dawdler, packing up her books while sitting down. Another girl in the group asked to go to the restroom, grabbed some tissues, and hurried off. Chen Ling had no choice but to return to her seat with her head down.
Seeing her like this, Yan Sui couldn't help but laugh: "Are you really that anxious?"
"There are very few seats at that barbecue stall. If you go too late, there will be no seats left." Chen Ling turned around and blinked at Yan Sui, "Sui Sui, are you really not going?"
A new barbecue stall recently opened on the street in front of the school. The owner's grilled meat is incredibly tender and juicy. Word spread quickly among the students, and the stall is already in high demand.
The midterm exam had just ended, and Chen Ling, Wen Qingman and their group made an appointment to go to the barbecue stall over there tonight to eat barbecue and relax.
They also invited Yan Sui, but Yan Sui refused on the grounds that she had an appointment.
Yan Sui zipped up her schoolbag and shook her head gently: "Sorry, do you have an appointment today?"
Chen Ling leaned in closer and winked at her: "Who is it? Yu Shuli?"
Some time ago, Wen Qingman and Chen Ling saw her arguing with Yu Shuli at the cafeteria door. They both had doubts about her relationship with Yu Shuli.
Coupled with the shift change incident, Chen Ling and Wen Qingman both agreed that Yan Sui and Yu Shuli's relationship was not innocent.
Yan Sui sighed: "It's not him, and besides, he and I really have nothing to do with each other."
Chen Ling let out a long "oh", and the deliberately prolonged ending tone showed her disbelief.
Yan Sui was speechless for a moment and too lazy to explain. After saying hello to Chen Ling and the others, she left the classroom first.
She really had an appointment today, and the person was not Yu Shuli.
It’s Lin Jingyang.
As soon as I walked out of the school gate, it was the peak time for school to be dismissed in the evening. The school gate was crowded with students coming out and parents coming to pick up their children.
Yan Sui looked around and didn't see the target person, so he took out his mobile phone and clicked on Lin Jingyang's text message while walking -
I'm at the school gate. Where are you?
The next second after the text message was successfully sent, a text message ringtone rang in front of her.
Yan Sui subconsciously looked up and saw the person she was looking for standing in front of her.
Lin Jingyang was wearing a windbreaker today, with one hand in his pocket and the other hand holding the mobile phone that was the source of the information.
He lowered his eyes to glance at the text message, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, then he looked up and looked straight at Yan Sui, raised his eyebrows and shook the phone in his hand.
Yan Sui pursed her lips, put her phone back in her pocket, and took two steps towards the other person: "Sorry, I didn't see you just now."
Lin Jingyang uttered a "hmm" through his nose. Just as Yan Sui was about to get to the point, she heard the other party say, "But I've been watching you."
Yan Sui: “…”
She felt a nerve twitch on the side of her cheek: "Then why didn't you call me just now?"
Lin Yangyang walked around behind her naturally, picked up the schoolbag with one hand and tried to take it off Yan Sui. Yan Sui refused, and neither did he.
The two sides stood in a stalemate in the crowd. Finally, Yan Sui relaxed her shoulders, drooped her lips, and took her arms out of the schoolbag.
"Go ahead and carry it! It won't kill you, and it saves you some effort," Yan Sui thought.
Lin Yangyang hung his schoolbag on his shoulder with satisfaction. After completing the task, he turned around and responded to Yan Sui's question: "Because I want to see if you can spot me in the crowd at a glance."
Yan Sui looked up and stared into his eyes for a while before asking, "What's the point?"
Her voice was cold and emotionless.
This was an attitude she rarely had when talking to others after she came back.
After she was reborn, she always kept her identity in mind and played the role of a high school girl well.
But after asking those questions in Lin Jingyang's car last time, Lin Jingyang's answer made Yan Sui suddenly have a feeling.
His attitude towards her was not like that towards a high school girl.
Rather, it seems like the attitude towards adult women.
This made Yan Sui feel that Lin Jingyang was more dangerous than Yu Shuli.
Even if the other party said he would not hurt her.
Due to the mission, she had to come into contact with Lin Jingyang, so Yan Sui decided to treat Lin Jingyang as an adult.
Lin Jingyang didn't react to her cold attitude. His smile remained unchanged, unaffected. "Of course it does." He stopped beside a black car and gently opened the passenger door. "If Yan Sui could see me in the crowd at a glance, I would be very happy."
He tilted his head and said, "Please come in! Yan Sui-san."
