Yanling probably never dreamed that Shu Yuqing would go to see his mother.
His relationship with his mother was bad; in fact, it could be said that they had no affection for each other.
He complained that his mother had abandoned him and his father. Although his father was a good-for-nothing and an alcoholic, and sometimes even hit his mother when he was drunk, he was still her husband!
Even if Dad is wrong, Mom shouldn't divorce him! What can't be forgiven between husband and wife? Why push things to the extreme?
Furthermore, the fact that she later had another child with that other man made Yanling resent her even more.
In that world, even after Yanling became powerful and influential, his relationship with Jiang Ru did not improve. He only recognized his uncle and not her as his mother.
He bought his uncle a large villa, gave Jiang Han two apartments and a luxury car, and arranged for Jiang Han to work at Chenguang. He never gave Jiang Ru anything, nor did he have any contact with her.
From that moment on, Yanling understood a principle: money can do anything.
Money can buy status, position, dignity, happiness, and even family ties!
With money, those who once looked down on him would humble themselves and beg for his favor. With money, everyone would act according to his wishes.
Having witnessed the allure of money, he knew all too well its importance.
Whenever Yanling recalls his younger self, he can't help but shake his head. How could he have been so ignorant and fearless back then, looking down on rich people, thinking they were heartless and condescending?
It wasn't until I became one of them that I realized the happiness of the rich is something most people can't even imagine.
Therefore, no one can stop his plan to become a superior person!
That day, Yanling was dreaming of getting rich at home, Jiang Xin was overwhelmed with work, and Jiang Ru, carrying a small suitcase, walked gracefully into the residential area where Yanling lived.
Yan Ling was about to start a live stream when he heard someone knocking on the door. No one usually came to the place where he and Jiang Xin lived, so he wondered who it could be.
He saw the woman standing outside the door through the peephole. The woman was knocking on the security door with an impatient look on her face. The "thump, thump, thump" sound came, and each knock felt like it was hitting his heart directly.
Yanling's mind went blank for a moment. She unconsciously held her breath and dared not make a sound. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Why is this woman here?
Is this woman here to see me?
This woman...
Jiang Ru knocked on the door for a long time without getting an answer. Her patience gradually wore thin, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Is anyone home? Yanling, open the door for Mom!"
The word "Mom" made Yanling's heart pound like thunder, her legs went weak, and she felt as if she were walking on cotton, her body light and airy.
"Yanling, Yanling! Mommy's here to see you, open the door!"
Jiang Ru was still shouting outside the door. Yan Ling's hands were shaking violently. He shakily touched the doorknob, gritted his teeth, and opened the door.
"Where is he? Give him to me...!"
Jiang Ru's shouts stopped abruptly. She raised her chin slightly and carefully examined her son, whom she hadn't seen for many years.
Yan Ling pretended to be calm and stood proudly upright, not wanting to show weakness in front of this woman. Little did he know that his slightly trembling body betrayed his true thoughts.
Jiang Ru pouted: "Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"
Yanling didn't speak, but silently stepped aside to let Jiang Ru in.
Jiang Ru stepped into the house without changing her shoes, casually walking on the floor that Jiang Xin had carefully wiped clean, and then sat down on the sofa.
Seeing Yanling standing there blankly, Jiang Ru's eyes flashed with disdain, and she ordered without any politeness, "You don't even know how to greet the guests? You're just standing there like a block of wood. Go, pour me a glass of water!"
Yanling didn't miss her fleeting look of disdain. He silently clenched his fist and went to the kitchen to pour her some water without saying a word.
He went into the kitchen, exhaled a breath of stale air, found a new cup, washed it, dried it with a clean towel, and then poured warm water into it.
Jiang Ru, who was in the living room, was also feeling complicated. Before seeing Yan Ling, she was uneasy, guilty, ashamed, flustered, scared... and even a little excited.
But the moment Jiang Ru saw Yan Ling, all her unease and fear vanished, leaving only disgust for him.
Yanling's eyes are exactly like his father's. When she saw the child, it was as if she saw her ex-husband, that disgusting and vicious man.
This reminded her of the suffering she had endured over the years, those hellish days.
After Yanling's father lost his job, he became despondent and drank heavily at home every day, ignoring her and the children.
She works long hours every day to earn money to support the family, and when she gets home, she still has to cook for him and clean up the mess he makes.
Her ex-husband was blind to Jiang Ru's hardships, and would beat her when he was drunk.
She didn't want outsiders to see the shocking bruises and scars on her body, so for those few years she kept herself completely covered up, and even in the height of summer she never wore short sleeves or skirts.
Every time she sobered up, her ex-husband would kneel down and beg for forgiveness, crying and pleading. Jiang Ru would forgive him again and again for the sake of the children, but he only became more and more ruthless and cruel towards her.
Once, Jiang Ru was beaten so badly by her ex-husband that she couldn't get out of bed. She called out Yan Ling's name from the bed, hoping he would pour her a glass of water or ask a neighbor to take her to the hospital.
She had to leave this devil; if things continued like this, she would die!
To her surprise, Yanling didn't respond to her calls for a long time. In her daze, Jiang Ru heard the devil's voice. He was teaching his child that he shouldn't be soft-hearted towards women, otherwise these bitches would take advantage of him.
