To make matters worse, he also has a handsome face with delicate, fair skin. Heh heh, the consequences are predictable...
Under the dual torment of physical and mental suffering, he began to self-harm, wishing for his own death every day.
Death, which he once feared so much, has now become what he desires most.
During the day, they are beaten and humiliated; at night, they are haunted by vengeful spirits and bitten by evil ghosts.
He died in prison less than a month later.
The cause of death was ruptured liver and gallbladder, commonly known as being scared to death.
After Chen Li's deeds were exposed, Su Xiaotang became a completely innocent victim in everyone's eyes.
Everyone was sighing, "Poor girl, how could she be so unlucky to have met such a perverted scumbag?"
Qi An consolidated all of Su Xiaotang's assets, along with the company, into one entity.
At the height of public sympathy, he announced that all the proceeds would be donated to a charitable foundation to help orphans and elderly people who have lost their children.
They gave Su Xiaotang a reputation for being kind and righteous.
In the void, Su Xiaotang, her resentment gone, thanked Qi An: "Thank you, I have no regrets."
After collecting the soul fragments, Qi An and Ata cultivated in the void while waiting for their second customer to arrive.
**
The visitor was an older woman, dressed very elegantly, and it was clear that she lived a comfortable life.
But her face was streaked with tears, ruining her composure, and she couldn't stop crying.
As if sensing something in her mind, she began to recount her past with a sorrowful expression.
"My name is Zhang Yufen. I was just over fifty when I died. I want to beg you to save my daughter..."
Zhang Yufen and her husband Song Haisheng were childhood sweethearts, and their families had arranged their marriage long ago. They got married when they reached the appropriate age.
The couple were deeply in love and soon had a son, whom they named Song Hui.
The couple doted on their son, the fruit of their love, and with his handsome and adorable appearance, they cherished him dearly.
After her son was born, Zhang Yufen became a full-time housewife, focusing on taking care of her son's healthy growth. Her husband worked on a nearby construction site. At that time, prices were relatively low, and one person's income was enough to cover the family's expenses.
The family of three lived a comfortable life. When their son was three years old, Zhang Yufen became pregnant again. Both of them hoped to have a daughter to complete their family.
Unfortunately, on the day their daughter was born, the husband rushed to the hospital to be with her during childbirth. In his negligence, he had an accident at the construction site and was hit on the head by a collapsing floor slab, dying instantly.
Zhang Yufen, who was in the hospital awaiting delivery, received the devastating news and fainted immediately. Fortunately, she was able to give birth to her daughter via cesarean section.
After being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Yufen quickly forgot about her grief. Her husband was gone, but life had to go on, and she still had two children to raise.
When her son got a little older, he could go to kindergarten, but she still had to earn money to support the family, so she had no choice but to send her daughter back to her hometown to be raised by her grandparents.
She named her daughter Song Si, with the character "Si" meaning "to miss".
Another reason she couldn't say was that seeing her daughter reminded her of her husband's tragic death. Although she knew it wasn't her fault, she still felt a knot in her heart.
She used the compensation money from the construction site to start a clothing business, starting from a street stall. Riding the wave of the times, she gradually built her own store and factory, and eventually created a chain clothing brand.
As a woman competing for business in the market, she has to spend more time and energy, which inevitably means she can't spend time with and educate her children, so she can only compensate them materially.
As her son grew to resemble his father more and more, Zhang Yufen inevitably doted on him even more.
She misses and feels guilty about her daughter who didn't grow up by her side, so she can only send more money home in hopes that her daughter can have a better life.
Later, she suggested several times that Sisi be brought to live with her, but her mother-in-law said that the child did not want to go and was used to living with them, so she did not force her.
As the business gradually stabilized, the old man passed away, and she took her daughter, Sisi, to live with her. Sisi was thirteen years old at the time.
The thirteen-year-old girl was thin and small, wearing pilling, outdated clothes, and looked timid and hesitant, without any of the vigor and vitality of a child.
Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the nice clothes she had sent home were all worn by her uncle's children, and the money had not been spent on Sisi.
As for her occasional visits home, seeing Sisi dressed in beautiful clothes and looking neat and tidy, it was all just for show.
She asked Sisi, "Why don't you tell Mom that Grandpa and Grandma treat you badly?"
Sisi replied, "Grandma said that I caused Dad's death, and Mom didn't like me and hated me, so she abandoned me to them to raise."
So she had to work from a young age, couldn't make demands, couldn't spend more money, and was content with what she had to eat and wear. She didn't dare tell her mother even if she was beaten.
Zhang Yufen was heartbroken. She had always thought that although her daughter was not by her side, she was living a comfortable and well-off life. She never imagined that she would send her child into the lion's den and suffer for more than ten years.
She immediately severed ties with her husband's family and stopped giving them any benefits.
She tried to make it up to her daughter, but found it had no effect. The child was not close to her and was always timid, as if the slightest sound could frighten her.
Left with no other option, Zhang Yufen took her child to the hospital, where the doctor said the child had depression, and it was quite severe.
During the conversation, she gradually learned what kind of life Sisi had been living for more than ten years.
Not having enough to eat or wear, and having to work are nothing compared to the fact that parents aren't around, and the elderly don't care about them.
With no one to protect her, Sisi naturally became a target for everyone to bully, and she suffered from school bullying starting in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Adults always think that children are innocent and that their squabbles and bickering won't lead to anything serious.
Little did they know that the malice from children is more terrifying than that from adults. Their malice comes without reason, yet it can bring out the worst in human nature to the extreme.
Her books were torn to shreds, bugs were put in her schoolbag, her school uniform was thrown into the toilet, she was dragged by the hair, forced to kneel on the ground, and slapped. Not a single classmate spoke to her.
She told her teacher that after the teacher criticized the people who bullied her, those people would bully her even more.
She told her grandparents that they said it was just kids playing around and nothing serious could happen, and that she was just not likable, which was why she had so few friends.
"Why do those people bully you instead of others? There must be something wrong with you."
She never said it again.
The girl who bullied Sisi the most was named Mo Ningning.
Most of the harm Sisi suffered came from her, and it was she who led the bullying and isolation of Sisi.
Zhang Yufen went back to her hometown to look for the school, only to find that Mo Ningning had transferred schools and her whole family had gone to another place and disappeared without a trace.
Zhang Yufen spent a lot of time and energy taking Sisi for treatment.
After her nutrition improved, her physical and mental health gradually recovered.
With her mother's company and care, the wounds in her heart slowly began to heal.
A few years later, at least on the surface, he looked no different from an ordinary person, and his personality became a bit more lively.
A few more years passed, and the son graduated from university and slowly began to learn how to take over the company.
Sisi also got into her dream university, and her condition is visibly getting better and better.
All of this was disrupted by the girlfriend her son, Song Hui, brought home.
Her name is Mo Ningyu.
