After figuring it out, Shao Yan gradually became cheerful. Seeing that her son and son-in-law had a good relationship and she didn't have to worry about them, she signed up for a travel group and went out to play all year round.
Every time she came back, she would experience some new changes. The colorful life gave her a healthy body and broadened her mind, making her understand that people live for themselves, not for their children or husbands.
After sending Shao Yan away, Zhuang Li and He Ming lived a peaceful and happy life.
The two haven't had a single argument or exchange of insults since their remarriage. Netizens are betting on how long it will take for the banker to file for divorce from He Ming, as he has already taken all of He Ming's assets.
Those who bet for a year lost.
Those who bet for five years lost.
Those who bet for ten years lost.
Unknowingly, the two had walked through life hand in hand. Their story has touched countless people and made many people who have experienced setbacks in relationships understand that there is still love in this world, and sooner or later, it will always come.

Zhuang Li woke up in a room full of cameras, with a cameraman standing next to him, filming him in the face.
He sat cross-legged on the carpet with a small low table in front of him, which was filled with stationery such as letter paper, ballpoint pens, small scissors, envelopes, etc.
With so many cameras recording, it was impossible for him to take out his mobile phone and search his personal information openly.
7480 flipped through the script while explaining the situation: "Master, you are participating in a reality dating show. The first episode has already aired, and this is the second episode, which is still being recorded. You must write a love letter to the guest you like."
"Blind date on TV?" Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows, slightly interested.
"It's not just a TV blind date; it's an observational show where you guys, a couple, are locked in a room together for dozens of days to see if you can spark chemistry. These days, audiences love seeing couples and couples, and this show perfectly satisfies their curiosity, so it's been incredibly popular ever since it aired.
"Master, you're a popular online blogger with over 10 million followers. You're incredibly wealthy! During the first episode, several guests had already announced their Weibo accounts. As soon as your Weibo post went viral, several men and women participating in the show wrote love letters to you because you're the best.
"You're handsome, rich, and the audience likes you the most. As soon as the first episode aired, you became famous! Your fans soared from over 10 million to 20 million!"
Zhuang Li stared at his palms, which were covered in a thin layer of calluses, and shook his head. "This second-generation rich man's image is fake, right? These hands have done very hard work."
"Master, you guessed right. Your image as a rich second-generation tycoon is fake. Most of the luxury goods you posted on Weibo were stolen. Not only that, you are also a money-grubber." 7480 sighed.
The host's identity this time is truly amazing.
"Saving a man? Is it the same as saving a woman?" Zhuang Li picked up the pen and turned it slowly.
"Yes, in order to achieve a class leap, you hooked up with a rich second-generation guy. Some of the luxury goods you showed off on Weibo were bought for you by that rich second-generation guy. But unfortunately, his family went bankrupt, and he fled abroad to avoid debt. But he truly loved you and wanted to take you with him, but you rejected him. You said he was not worthy of you and told him to get lost as soon as possible.
"The second-generation rich man finally saw through you and left with a deep hatred. He was abroad, but he kept an eye on what was happening back home. When he saw that you became popular on the show, he started posting blog posts exposing your true face."
7480 gloated, "Master, according to the original plot, right now, as you were writing this letter, your ex-boyfriend's blog post would have gone viral. Everyone knows you're a second-generation rich kid in disguise. Look at that cameraman, isn't his expression strange?"
Zhuang Li glanced at the cameraman and saw that he had a look of contempt in his eyes and a sneer on his face.
"All the men and women who were on the blind date are sitting outside, digging up dirt on you. They all know you're broke. And the production crew knows your background too. The director, to hype the show, bought you a trending search. The post exposing your ex-boyfriend is now in the top five trending searches. You're famous, but it's just a black celebrity."
"The original owner knew he had a lot of negative information, making it difficult for him to participate in a reality show. However, he happened to learn that one of the richest second-generation rich in the country would also be participating in this reality show. He had already regarded this rich second-generation rich as his next target for making money, so he signed up.
"Master, if you hadn't come, the rich second-generation persona that the original owner had created would have been exposed by her ex-boyfriend, her fan base would have plummeted, and her reputation would have been ruined. The top rich second-generation person participating in the show is called Chang Jinbo. He knows the original owner's ex-boyfriend. He called privately to verify your past, and your ex-boyfriend said a lot of bad things about you. So Chang Jinbo hated you very much and agreed to help the ex-boyfriend get revenge.
"Later, Chang Jinbo will pretend to be interested in you on the show, luring you into all kinds of advances, but then he'll ruthlessly reject you when he finally confesses his love, calling you materialistic and vain, and saying that even if everyone in the world died, he wouldn't even look down on a scum like you.
"You made a fool of yourself in front of the national audience. They had previously called Chang Jinbo blind for liking a vain person like you, but then they praised him for his righteousness, saying he was doing the best to protect the people. After the show was recorded, you were disgraced, while Chang Jinbo gained both fame and fortune.
"Your reputation was ruined, your fans ran away, you were scolded wherever you went, and finally you committed suicide by burning charcoal." 7480 shook his head, his face full of sighs.
Zhuang Li, however, didn't care about the original owner's fate and asked directly, "Where is He Ming?"
7480 quickly flipped through the script. "Let me look. Oh, I found it. There's a man named Xi Ming. He's just a background character in this story. He only appears once, just to give Destiny's Child a head."
Zhuang Li frowned and asked, "Who is the child of destiny?"
7480 mourned silently for a moment before introducing the guest, "The Child of Destiny is a female guest named Meng Lan. She was introduced to the audience through this show, and then entered the entertainment industry, eventually becoming a superstar. She's a heartthrob. There were four male and four female guests on the show, and in the end, all of them wrote love letters to Meng Lan."
7480 added: "By the way, same-sex marriage is legal in this world. Male-female, male-male, female-female, as long as they are attracted to each other, they can get together. Therefore, most of the guests invited to participate in the show are bisexual, and the competition is quite fierce."
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows and chuckled softly, "This setting is quite interesting."
"Right. So this show is actually a massive Shura field, with all sorts of complicated relationships." 7480 continued to explain the plot: "Meng Lan is the biggest winner of this variety show. All the male guests love her, and some of the female guests love her, and some admire her very much and want to be her friends. Anyway, no matter what, in the end, these people all gave her their love letters. Several celebrities sitting in the observation room commenting on the show were also attracted to Meng Lan and introduced resources to her. She debuted very smoothly.
"That top-tier rich second-generation guy, Chang Jinbo, who was always with you on the show, was actually madly in love with her. To win her heart, he even participated in the most prestigious international Formula One race at the time."
7480 patted the script cover and warned, "Pay attention! This is when the storyline about the God appears. Like the rich second generation, he's also a professional racing driver. He won the championship for several consecutive years and maintained an undefeated record until his retirement. He was hailed by his fans as 'the fastest man in the world.'"
Hearing this, Zhuang Li chuckled: "No, he is the most persistent."
7480: "..." I pretended not to understand what you were talking about this yellow waste.
"After the show, Chang Jinbo confessed his feelings to Meng Lan. Meng Lan put forward a condition: that he defeat Shen Ling to prove himself. The rich second generation issued a challenge to Shen Ling. At that time, Shen Ling had actually retired for several years. I don't know why he suddenly agreed to participate in the competition."
"Then during this game, he died in an accident, right?" Zhuang Li's tone suddenly became cold.
"Yes, his car broke down and caught fire." 7480 said tremblingly.
Zhuang Li kept rubbing his brows, "The reason isn't in the script?"
"It wasn't written. It just said that his car was hit and burned. Chang Jinbo surpassed him and won first place. After the game, when he learned that his idol was dead, Chang Jinbo cried bitterly. Meng Lan ran to comfort him, and then the two were together. But Meng Lan also had many lovers. In the story, she was single all her life, but in fact, she could have had more than a dozen lovers without capsizing. I guess her golden finger adds to her charm." 7480 concluded.
Zhuang Li didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes were dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.
7480 asked cautiously, "There are people everywhere online cursing you. What should we do now? How about I go online and delete your posts and comments?"
"No need to delete it, let them scold me." Zhuang Li curled his lips and said casually, "Since my image as a second-generation rich man has been established, I can only go in this direction. I happen to be free these days, so you go mine and I'll be the market maker. We can make a fortune in the financial market."
"What? You want me to go mining again? It's illegal to employ child laborers!" 7480 pouted in grievance.
"If you dig a basket of bitcoins for me, I will use my mental power to transform a basket of picture books for you. My autobiography will be in it. Do you want to read it?" Zhuang Li slowly threw out the bait.
7480 quickly donned his mining uniform and scrambled online, excitedly saying, "Just wait! I'll trade you Bitcoin for your autobiography tomorrow morning!"
"Come on." Zhuang Li encouraged with a chuckle.
The conversation between the master and pet ended. Zhuang Li put the ballpoint pen back into the pen holder and asked in a gentle voice, "If there is no one you like, is it okay not to write a letter?"
A few days ago, the original owner was having a hot affair with Chang Jinbo, and it seemed like she was eyeing him, but today she said that she had no one she liked, and the cameraman was stunned.
However, the program team has already stipulated that you can write a letter or not, and it is up to the guests to decide.
The cameraman nodded.
Zhuang Li crumpled up the ink-stained letter paper and threw it into the trash can.
Seeing Zhuang Li leisurely walking out of the bedroom with his hands in his pockets, the director invited him to the interview room to stir up more controversial topics and deliberately guided him: "Why don't you write letters to the guests? I saw you and Chang Jinbo getting along very well a few days ago. You two must have a spark, right?"
Zhuang Li held his chin with one hand and said indifferently, "Harmonious? That must be your illusion."
Director: “…” You are lying with your eyes open!
"There's absolutely no attraction between him and me." Zhuang Li shook his head in denial. "Family background, ability, knowledge, and inner qualities—in every aspect, he's not worthy of me."
Director: "..." What kind of nonsense is that? You really think you're a rich kid!
"What kind of person is worthy of you?" the director continued following Zhuang Li's words.
Zhuang Li's eyelids drooped slightly, a smile on his lips, and his voice was soft and warm: "He must be very tall, at least over 190 cm, with an amazing figure. He must look good in any clothes. He must be a natural supermodel.
"He also had to be handsome, incredibly handsome, masculine, handsome, and dashing, with an extraordinary bearing that made people unable to take their eyes off him.
"Sometimes he's calm, sometimes he's cute. He looks cold, but inside he's a flame. This flame burns only for me. He wants to love me as much as he loves his life.
"When I'm in danger, he'll be the first to stand up and protect me. His boyfriend power is overwhelming. I feel the most secure and the happiest when I'm with him."
Zhuang Li looked directly into the camera and said slowly, "This is my standard for choosing a partner, so none of the guests currently meet the criteria."
Director: “…” You are not choosing a partner, you are dreaming!
To generate more discussion, the director continued, "These are all spiritual requirements. What about material things? Do you have any material requirements?"
Zhuang Li chuckled and said, "I don't have any material requirements. In China, 99.99% of people are probably not as rich as me, so why should I care about this?"
Director: "..." How dare you say that! This episode is done!
