Zhang Wenxiu had a beautiful dream. In her dream, she was still slender and beautiful. She successfully got rid of Li Wuyou, that good-for-nothing, and became Sun Fei's true wife. The couple were loving and their children were filial. A few years after their marriage, she became pregnant with a son.
Everything in her dream was what she most longed for, as if it were a paradise specially built for him, completely according to his wishes. Years later, Sun Fei's daughter, Sun Peipei, returned with a bombshell, launching a fierce revenge against the couple. The son she had raised with all her heart was not Sun Fei's child, but rather the son of the useless Li Wuyou.
The couple developed a rift because of this incident, and their eldest son also became estranged from her and ran away from home. However, she felt no reluctance; this son was not Sun Fei's son, so he had no use to her, and she simply let him go.
Fortunately, she gave birth to a son for Sun Fei, so he didn't dare to do anything to him. In the end, this crazy woman, Sun Peipei, actually caused the Sun family to go bankrupt. The couple were heavily in debt and eventually died on the streets.
Startled awake, Zhang Wenxiu sat up straight, her brows furrowed, looking irritable. This dream was definitely not a good omen.
"Bang bang bang—" The knocking on the door rang out urgently. Zhang Wenxiu immediately got out of bed to check, and Wuyou had already opened the door.
"Hello, Mr. Li Wuyou, we would like to ask you to come to the police station for an investigation." Three tall men in military uniforms stood at the door, showing their identification, their demeanor extremely serious and businesslike.
"Alright! I'll go pack my things first, tell my family, and then I'll go with you." Wuyou's eyes flickered, then she nodded to the three of them, her expression unchanged, as if it were just a simple activity.
"Sigh... It's alright, business is important. Honey, you should go as soon as possible. I'll take good care of our son." Zhang Wenxiu's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to push Wuyou towards the door, her words conveying an eagerness to get there.
Wuyou chuckled, her body being passively pushed away, her expression somewhat helpless. Just as she was about to reach the door, a childish voice rang out.
“Dad…” Li Jingtian felt like he was about to cry. How did things come to this again, and two years earlier than in his previous life? Could it be that even being reborn couldn’t change anything?
The little child, dressed in blue cartoon pajamas, stood there prettily, tears welling in his eyes, his chubby little face drooping, looking both pitiful and adorable.
"Don't worry, Daddy's fine. He'll be back soon." Wuyou patted his adopted son's shoulder and hugged him.
"No, I want to be with Daddy, not Mommy." She reached out and grabbed Wuyou's neck tightly, using her age advantage to desperately whine and act spoiled, which was both funny and exasperating.
Zhang Wenxiu, who was listening nearby, turned green with anger. If it weren't for the presence of outsiders, she probably would have already started cursing. She didn't know what he had done to offend this little devil. The son she had cherished for so long was not close to her, but listened to a stranger instead. It was infuriating.
Sometimes she really wondered if she had given birth to a son or a nemesis.
In the end, the father and son were taken away together. As soon as they came downstairs, Li Jingtian was desperately acting cute in Wuyou's arms when a group of people came over and surrounded them.
"Ah..." Li Jingtian was startled by the group of people and couldn't help but scream softly. He snuggled into Wuyou's arms, acting like a complete child and forgetting that he was also an adult.
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Jing. They're here to help us. Go stay with them. Dad will come to pick you up in a week." Wuyou smiled and patted Li Jingtian's shoulder. She knew he was an adult and understood her, so she didn't need to say anything more.
"Okay!" Li Jingtian hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He felt that his father was quite different from his previous life, but that would actually protect him better, wouldn't it? He could just assume that his warning from back then had taken effect.
Little Li Jingtian followed the bodyguard away, turning back every few steps. Only after they had gone far away did Wuyou suppress the smile on his face and thank the bodyguard as he looked at the three police officers waiting not far away.
"Miss said that everything over there has been arranged, so please rest assured." The bodyguard dutifully relayed Liu Peilan's words, and Wuyou nodded in appreciation of his efficiency.
"Miss said she admires Mr. Li's abilities and wonders if Mr. Li is interested..." Liu Peilan was not an ordinary rich lady who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, go shopping, and play cards. However, after only two meetings, she developed a great admiration for Wuyou and couldn't help but be tempted to bring him under her wing.
Before the bodyguard could finish speaking, Wuyou raised her hand to stop him. "I am honored by your favor, Miss, but I am just a lowly police officer with young children to support. It's best if I don't get involved in this kind of thing."
The bodyguard's mouth gaped open, as if he couldn't believe someone would refuse the young lady's invitation. Everyone had witnessed the Liu family's power and the young lady's abilities; even being a mere servant by her side was an honor. Yet this person had clearly refused the young lady's offer of a position?
You know, at best this guy is just a low-level policeman, he'll never reach any higher. Is he stupid or crazy?
"Alright!" The man tried to say more, but the bodyguard remembered his duty and said no more. He figured this man would regret it later anyway.
Sun Fei was a prominent figure in Jinyang City, and the Liu family's power was not to be underestimated; their every move attracted attention. News of Liu Peilan's injury quickly spread, causing a stir.
The culprit in this incident turned out to be just an unknown junior police officer. Those in higher positions, full of ulterior motives, tacitly believed that something was amiss and remained silent about it.
