He Wan was led into a room with her eyes covered. When she heard the footsteps fading away, she hurriedly pulled off the blindfold and looked around in horror.
She found herself in a dark, enclosed room. She couldn't see anything and groped around on the walls but couldn't find a light switch. Frustrated, she plopped down on the floor, her eyes blazing with hatred.
"Yanling, why won't you let me go...?"
Yanling's mother was moved by her suggestion and acquiesced to her approach. She even went to the school to help her with the follow-up matters. After the child was born, Yanling's mother hired a nanny to take care of the baby.
Yanling's mother rented an apartment for them. After Yanling graduated from high school, he stayed at home. He Wan simply told him not to go out to find a job, as long as he took good care of the child.
He Wan, on the other hand, got a job in a public institution through the connections of Yanling's mother. Although it was a probationary period, she was already very satisfied with it, as an outsider.
At first, He Wan was grateful for Jiang Ru's kindness, and since she had not yet fully established herself in Beijing, she tolerated Yan Ling in every way. As a result, he became more and more excessive and arrogant.
After a long day at work, I come home to find I can't even get a hot meal. I still have to cook for him and the kids. My son's clothes aren't washed, and his toys are scattered all over the house, making it easy for someone to trip over them.
After cooking, she still had to clean the house, tidy up the rooms, and bathe the child. She was so busy she barely had time to breathe, while Yanling spent all day playing video games at home, barely even lifting his eyelids.
As time went on, He Wan gradually grew resentful. Her marriage to Yan Ling was originally just a transaction, without any emotional foundation. How could she be willing to be this man's slave?
However, the child is still young. Even though Yanling doesn't care about this son at all, he spends every day with his father and has a deeper affection for his father than for his mother.
Therefore, He Wan silently endured and shouldered the heavy burden of this family.
Until recently, when my child was on summer vacation and didn't go to kindergarten, she felt unwell one day and asked to stay home to rest.
When she got home, she found that her child was not playing in the living room. When she entered the bedroom, she saw that her child was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. She saw that her child's face was red and realized that something was wrong. She quickly reached out to touch her child and found that her son had a high fever and was unconscious.
Yanling was playing games on the computer and had no idea that her child had a fever.
He Wan was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She couldn't understand why the child's biological father could be so cold-blooded and heartless, since the child wasn't just hers.
Similar things had happened before; Yanling didn't care about the child at all and was unwilling to spend any energy on him.
He Wan was in despair. She could see no hope in life, but she foresaw that her future would be exceptionally difficult.
She gave Yanling several years, but she still couldn't change him in the slightest. She didn't want to waste her youth on him anymore; she wanted a divorce!
When news of the divorce reached Jiang Ru's ears, she immediately called He Wan and gave her a severe dressing-down.
He Wan remained silent throughout, and only after her mother-in-law finished speaking did she recount the recent events to her.
"Mom, I've tried so hard all these years, but I just can't change him."
He acts like a king at home, doing nothing. Even if the oil bottle falls over, he'll wait for me to come home and pick it up. I can tolerate all of that, but I just can't stand how he treats the child.
Mom! That's his own son, your own grandson!
He was so young, lying in bed with a fever, while his father was playing video games and didn't even glance at him.
Mom, I really can't take it anymore...
Jiang Ru fell silent on the other end of the phone. She didn't know how to persuade He Wan to give up the idea of divorce. Yan Ling ate her food, used her things, and didn't respect her at all. He didn't even care about the child. It was already very difficult for He Wan to have endured it for so long.
Jiang Ru eventually granted her request and let her leave, but on the condition that she leave the child behind.
In order to leave this lifeless environment, He Wan gave up custody of her son and left all her savings over the years to Yan Ling, leaving herself with nothing.
**
Yan Ling was overjoyed when he divorced He Wan. He felt that he had finally gotten rid of the woman who annoyed him.
The good times didn't last long. Without He Wan, Yan Ling made a mess of his life. He never cooked, ordered takeout every day, and threw his clothes in the washing machine when they got dirty, causing his and his child's clothes to get stained.
The house is so messy that there's hardly any room to step, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated. No one cleans the house.
Just when he was at his wit's end, a stranger added him on WeChat and told him that He Wan had found a rich man and was living a very carefree life.
Yanling's blood rushed to his head, and he remembered that his mother had done the same thing, abandoning him and his father to find a rich and powerful man.
Enraged, Yan Ling didn't even think twice before rushing to the place where He Wan had appeared and shouting. He wanted to make this woman lose face and see how she would seduce rich men in the future!
Unexpectedly, he was gagged and taken to a small dark room. He had just heard people outside saying that they were going to sell him to northern Myanmar!
Yan Ling was completely dumbfounded. He only wanted to embarrass He Wan, but he never expected the consequences to be so serious.
