Meanwhile, Li Churan and Lin Mengru, who had just finished their wedding, had returned to the villa where they had previously lived with Ye Ning.
They had originally planned to go on a honeymoon to a famous island after the wedding, but now everything has been cancelled.
Li Churan sat on the sofa with a blank expression, while Lin Mengru sat silently beside him.
Li Churan still had his wedding-style hair wax on. He loosened his bow tie and stared straight out the window, not even glancing at Lin Mengru, as if she were invisible, nonexistent in this world.
The red paper-cut window decorations resembled distorted faces, mocking him with bared teeth and claws. Li Churan's gaze seemed to be drawn to these decorations; the more he looked, the more he felt they were laughing at him, at his foolishness, at his naivety, at his poor judgment of character.
"Get rid of all of these!" Li Churan slammed the crystal glass in her hand down.
The crystal glass, like a shooting star, crashed hard against the wall, shattering instantly into a pile of dazzling but useless crystals, much like a broken heart scattered on the ground, impossible to piece back together.
Although the servants in the house were unaware of what was going on, they immediately got to work.
Seeing that the servants had all left, Lin Mengru sat down coquettishly next to Li Churan, her hand like a winding snake, gently stroking the base of Li Churan's thigh.
"Chu Ran, I know I was wrong, please forgive me! I'll do anything you ask if you're willing to forgive me," Lin Mengru said meaningfully.
Li Churan's face was so cold that even the air seemed to freeze.
He flung Lin Mengru's restless hand away, then grabbed her chin with his other hand like an iron clamp and shoved her against the wall.
Lin Mengru's back slammed against the cold, hard wall, as if she had been slammed against it by a merciless hand. She instinctively curled up like a wounded little animal.
"Chu Ran, let go! It hurts!" Lin Mengru pleaded in pain.
Li Churan easily grabbed Lin Mengru's chin as if she were a chick, forcing her to look directly into his eyes. Li Churan's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked as fierce as a wild beast. Lin Mengru couldn't help but shudder.
"I'm warning you! Don't touch me! Stay away from me, or don't blame me for being rude! Do you understand?"
"Chu Ran, we've already had our wedding, you..." Lin Mengru smiled ingratiatingly, trying to please him. Lin Mengru knew that Li Chu Ran was definitely angry with her right now, but she believed that as long as she softened her stance, she could definitely soften his heart, and then she would find an opportunity to conquer him in bed.
Li Churan, however, showed no mercy. He suddenly tightened his grip on Lin Mengru's neck, causing her face to turn bright red. At that moment, she seemed to see death beckoning to her.
"Did you understand? I don't want to ask you a second time!" Li Churan's deep voice, tinged with a hint of threat, rang in Lin Mengru's ear.
It was only then that Lin Mengru understood what it meant to be an angel in one thought and a devil in another.
"I understand! I understand!" Lin Mengru's face showed fear, and all her little thoughts were put away.
"Good that you understand! Get out!" Li Churan released her abruptly.
Finally able to breathe freely, Lin Mengru covered her neck while coughing.
Just then, Shangguan Rong, who had just been humiliated by Ye Ning, got out of the car with a gloomy expression.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Mengru quickly tiptoed back to her room.
But it was too late.
"Lin! Meng! Ru!" Shangguan Rong squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth, took a few steps to Lin Mengru, and grabbed her hair.
Because of this bitch, Chu Ran lost a billion and was humiliated by Ye Ning. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Where do you think you're going? You bitch!"
"Mom! Let go!" Lin Mengru screamed.
"Mom? Bah! You dare call me Mom! You shameless slut!" Shangguan Rong spat in Lin Mengru's face.
Lin Mengru touched it and felt a mouthful of foul-smelling saliva, making her feel so disgusted she almost vomited.
The sound of a car parking outside rang out again; Lin Mengru's son, Xiaoyu, had returned.
Because he didn't want the news that Lin Mengru had a son to be discovered, he was sent to a summer camp abroad a few days ago, and he has just returned.
Xiao Yu is fat and has a big head and ears. He looks arrogant and is clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Before he even entered the room, his voice could be heard.
"Grandma, Zhuang Zixuan's dad from summer camp bought him a yacht. I don't care, I want one too."
It would have been better if I hadn't heard Xiaoyu's voice, but hearing Shangguan Rong's voice only made me angrier.
She had treated him like her own grandson for so long, only to find out he was a bastard.
"Grandma? Who's your grandma? You little bastard, a yacht? Bah! Let your own father buy it for you."
"Grandma, I want the yacht! I don't care!" Xiao Yu didn't understand Shangguan Rong's hidden meaning at all and threw a tantrum on the ground.
Shangguan Rong felt increasingly disgusted as he looked at Lin Mengru, and grabbed her collar again.
"You've come at the perfect time. It'll be a good opportunity to explain where this bastard came from."
After another round of chaos...
Li Churan's ears hurt from the noise.
"Alright, Mom! Stop it. Hitting her now won't do any good. If you get injured and someone with ulterior motives sees it, it will cause trouble. It's not worth it."
Shangguan Rong stopped what he was doing. Chu Ran was right. If a tabloid reporter took a picture, and there was a news story tomorrow that Mengran Group President Li Chu Ran beat his newlywed wife, it would be a huge scandal.
Shangguan Rong glared at Lin Mengru resentfully. "You bitch, you let her off easy."
However, getting her to acknowledge Lin Mengru is out of the question; Lin Mengru must be forced to leave the marriage with nothing to appease her anger.
Lin Mengru seized the opportunity and quickly carried Xiaoyu back to the room.
Back in her room, Lin Mengru cried out in pain as she lifted her clothes in front of the mirror. Her lower back was bruised from being kicked several times by Shangguan Rong.
That old hag, she really went all out. She has to find a way to win back Chu Ran's heart.
And that bitch Ye Ning, if it weren't for Ye Ning, how would Chu Ran know about her past? She had hidden it very well.
Oh right, Lin Mengru suddenly remembered the method she had thought of to deal with Ye Ning.
She dialed a familiar number and lowered her voice.
"Brother Fei! Can you do me a favor? Can you find me a few people..."
Ye Ning, just you wait! I'll make you pay!
