Yanling sat comfortably on the sofa, scrolling through Weibo, very satisfied with her plan.
Ruining Jiang Xin's reputation was only part of his plan; he used the incident to create momentum and gain attention, with the ultimate goal of targeting the Ye family.
He traveled from 2033, having more than a decade of experience than the people of this world. He knows how terrifying online public opinion can be, so he plans to use it to get close to the Ye family.
Only then did he realize that when he transmigrated, Yan Ling had thought about making a name for himself on his own. However, starting a business requires the right timing, location, and people. He had nothing at the moment and couldn't even come up with the start-up capital. How could he possibly make a name for himself?
He suffered a series of setbacks, became in debt, and became disabled. All his plans failed, and he was disheartened.
Furthermore, Yanling believed that the car accident was related to the group of people collecting debts, which made him hate them even more!
His life could have been even more brilliant, but Jiang Xin's stupidity ruined it!
He'd come to terms with it. If there's a shortcut, why not take it? The Ye family belonged to him in his past life, and it will belong to him in this one too!
Yan Ling's past success made him incredibly arrogant, believing that he was the center of the world and its master.
He never even considered the possibility of failure.
Jiang Xin returned home looking ashen; she had a terrible day at work. Her colleagues all looked at her strangely, and Wang Shihan even took the opportunity to kick her while she was down, mocking her for becoming an internet celebrity.
Wang Shihan had seen Jiang Xin's live stream videos before. She didn't know who Yan Ling was originally, but these past few days, no matter which app she opened, Yan Ling was everywhere.
Out of curiosity, Wang Shihan clicked in and glanced at it, and she actually saw Jiang Xin inside!
She immediately sent the link to the group chat and shared it with her colleagues. Later, the entire company watched this mind-blowing video.
They never expected that Jiang Xin, who was usually so ordinary and disheveled, was actually the adopted daughter of the Ye family, and that she had even broken ties with the Ye family for Yan Ling!
These people can't understand why anyone would turn down money.
If she were to leave the Ye family and live a happy life, that would be one thing, but Jiang Xin's current state and appearance don't look like those of a happy woman at all.
Wang Shihan was like a badger in a melon patch, enjoying the gossip immensely, jumping around in the group chat, sharing the information she had dug up online with her colleagues.
[Jiang Xin from our company is indeed the adopted daughter of the Ye family, but the Ye family severed ties with her long before she went abroad. The reason is Yan Ling, who appears in the video. According to online rumors, Jiang Xin may have had a miscarriage during high school, and it seems the Ye family gave up on adopting her because of this.]
[Ha, if you're so high and mighty, why bother working? Especially at a mid-sized financial company like ours. If you're so capable, why not stay home and be a rich housewife, hiring servants to wait on you?]
[Someone she met at school? I'm too old for that now, I wonder if my son could do it.]
She even said I was carrying a fake bag. I think she's just jealous because she's now an ordinary person and can't afford bags anymore!
While smearing Jiang Xin, Wang Shihan also did not forget to clear her own name.
[Shishi, don't be angry. Look how pathetic she is now. Tsk tsk, she goes out without makeup every day, and her entire outfit costs less than 500 yuan. From a pampered young lady to a poor woman, that's pitiful enough.]
【I'm not angry at all. Just thinking about her shabby appearance makes me happy. She really brought this on herself. Hahahaha】
Yan Ling knew perfectly well what Jiang Xin would encounter during this period, as it was part of his plan. He wanted Jiang Xin to find it difficult to establish herself in society and eventually have no choice but to obediently stay at home.
At that time, he will be Jiang Xin's only support, and she will accept whatever he asks her to do.
For the first time ever, Yanling bought meat and vegetables today and made stir-fried pork with chili peppers and preserved egg with green peppers for Jiang Xin.
When Jiang Xin heard that she wouldn't have to eat noodles for dinner, her face lit up with a smile. But when she saw the two dishes that Yan Ling brought out, her smile froze.
Yanling knows she doesn't eat spicy food! Why did he still cook two dishes with chili peppers?
Seeing her troubled expression, Yanling said disapprovingly, "I know you don't eat spicy food, but Jiang Xin, you're not a child anymore. You need to learn to adapt to your environment. I'm doing this for your own good."
Jiang Xin felt a sweet warmth in her heart. Yan Ling was so good to her. He worked so hard cooking for her every day and still thought about helping her overcome difficulties. She couldn't let him down.
Finally, Jiang Xin, with sweat beading on her nose and tears in her eyes, ate a large bowl of rice.

Shu Yuqing looked directly at the slightly flustered woman in front of her and said calmly, "Please sit down."
The woman awkwardly tucked a stray hair behind her ear and gave Shu Yuqing a fawning smile: "Mr. Shu, what instructions did you give me?"
"Jiang Ru, you have given birth to a good son."
Seeing her bewildered and uneasy expression, Shu Yuqing sneered inwardly. It turned out that she had forgotten that this Jiang Ru had two sons.
I was referring to Yanling.
Shu Yuqing lowered her eyes and looked down at the tea on the table.
Jiang Ru suddenly realized, Yan Ling... has offended Shu Yuqing?
After divorcing Yanling's father, she fell in love with someone else and later had a son with him.
The man's wife was unable to have children, but he treated her son as his own. Because of this child, she gained a place in the man's life.
She lacked nothing except the title of legal wife, and she had long forgotten the existence of her son, Yanling.
Jiang Ru's fingertips trembled, her breathing unconsciously slowed, and her mind was in a mess. She understood that Shu Yuqing had come today to confront her.
Seeing her slightly pale face, Shu Yuqing said without any mercy, "Jiang Ru, I hope you will control your son."
Jiang Ru's breath hitched, and she hurriedly explained, "I'm not familiar with that child. I haven't seen him for many years."
"Then you can go see him. He needs your comfort and encouragement right now. Given time, you'll get to know each other, won't you?"
Shu Yuqing's voice was very soft, yet it made Jiang Ru breathless.
She stammered, "What...what do you need me to do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Yuqing exuded the authority of a superior. She stared at Jiang Ru with sharp eyes, her voice devoid of any emotion: "Go back and discuss it with your brother's family. I believe they will tell you what to do."
Shu Yuqing stood up, looked down at her, and said, word by word, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
The sound of the door closing made Jiang Ru collapse to the ground, breathing heavily. Shu Yuqing's aura was too strong, giving her a strong sense of oppression. She was so frightened that she forgot to breathe.
She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and squeezed out the name "Yanling" from her tight throat, a name she loathed.
Who gave him the audacity to provoke the Ye family! If he wants to die, let him die! Why drag me into this?!
