"Shut up!" Yi Hai roared angrily, his face ashen. "Do you even respect me as your husband anymore? You think you're so great just because of a reality show? Wanqiu was a hundred times better back then, but even such a capable woman was defeated by me in the end. Who do you think you are!"
His reminder brought Liu Ruyi back to her senses from her impulsive emotions.
Her heart was pounding, and her eyes were bloodshot.
What was wrong with her just now? Why was she so impulsive and crazy...?
No matter how much she earns, she will never give up her position as Mrs. Yi to anyone else.
"So you've learned to threaten me now?" Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi hardened her tone again. "I've been with you for twenty-five years, bearing your children and giving you everything. Now you want to take away even this little hobby of yours?"
"I'm not trying to take away your hobbies, I just want you to distinguish between the online and the real world. Your husband is your world, don't get your priorities mixed up." Yi Hai still had some use for her, so he calmed down. "Also, since you've earned so much, isn't it your job to use a portion to support the company and pave the way for me to acquire the entire Yi family?"
These words, spoken with such confidence, nearly made Liu Ruyi lose her temper again.
She worked so hard, earning her money through her own abilities, and this old geezer still wants a share.
Yes!
Aren't men like him, who are very chauvinistic, the type who likes women who are petite and dependent on them?
How could he possibly allow his woman to be so career-oriented?
He wanted to suppress her, control her, and make her serve him willingly; that was the true nature of this despicable man.
She wasn't unaware of Yi Hai's true nature back then; it was precisely because she knew that she was able to perfectly disguise herself as the person he liked, kicking out the original wife and taking her place.
But now, she finds this man hypocritical and disgusting, utterly repulsive and ugly.
"I won't spend a single penny of my own money. Don't forget we have a daughter. If you don't care about her, I still have to take care of her and pave the way for her!" Liu Ruyi gave herself what she thought was a very good excuse.
Yi Hai clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could slap her across the face.
"Fine, very well! Looks like you won't need my money anymore. You'd better watch yourself!" With that, he turned and left.
Liu Ruyi kept a straight face and didn't say a word to persuade him to stay.
After everyone had walked away, the butler, Brother Zhu, quietly approached from behind and whispered, "Madam, why do you have to go against the master? If you just apologize, he won't be angry with you. If things get out of control, he might get angry and..."
Liu Ruyi replied with a sullen face, "You want to divorce me in a fit of anger?"
Zhu Ge was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting that she had already thought of this possibility.
"Since you foresaw this, you shouldn't have done this! You've been pretending for so many years, why didn't you keep it up!"
"You think I'm really afraid of him?" Liu Ruyi scoffed, a dark glint in her eyes. "Don't worry, he can't divorce me, he can't do it."
"Why? Is it just because of the years of marriage? But are you really willing to gamble on that?" Brother Zhu was completely baffled.
"Because we've been married for so many years, he thinks I'm obedient and docile, and that I know nothing. But in fact, I know a lot about his habits and his weaknesses. If he dares to dump me—"
A malicious smile appeared on Liu Ruyi's face. "I will make him taste the bitter fruit, and make him wish he were dead!"
Brother Zhu was startled and suddenly realized that perhaps... he had underestimated the hostess.
A woman who hides several masks is truly terrifying.
Yi Hai also has courage to kick out his first wife and marry this vicious woman.
...
"Dad." A hoarse voice sounded from behind as I came down the stairs.
Yi Hai was startled and nearly fell down the stairs.
He clutched his chest, turned around, and saw his daughter, Yi Youyou, standing behind him like a ghost.
He breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "You child, you walk without making a sound, you almost scared me to death."
Yi Youyou's eyes were bloodshot, and she looked haggard as she asked, "Did you have a fight with Mom?"
"You heard it too?" Yi Hai got angry as soon as the topic came up. "I don't know what's wrong with your mother. She's obsessed with live-streaming and online shopping all day long. It's outrageous! She's lost all her dignity as Mrs. Yi! You should try to talk to her when you have time..."
“But now, she doesn’t even want me anymore.” Yi Youyou’s face was bitter. “She and Yi Lianxue are as close as mother and daughter, standing on the same side, but she treats me like trash.”
"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous!" Yi Hai's face darkened further upon hearing this. "It's all that brat Qilin's fault. He insists on promoting Yi Lianxue and lets her run wild. I'll definitely go and talk to him when I have time..."
He muttered something about going downstairs, his face full of gloom, but he didn't say a single word about Yi Youyou from beginning to end.
It's as if I no longer have any expectations of her.
Yi Youyou's nails dug deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all.
None of this should be the case.
Her former brother Qilin loved her the most, and she trusted him so much that she didn't believe he would help Yi Lianxue deal with her.
She wanted to find out for herself.
...
In the afternoon, at the Starry Sky Entertainment office.
Seeing Yi Youyou crying with tears streaming down her face, Yi Qilin quickly took out a tissue and carefully wiped her eyes, saying gently, "My dear Youyou, don't be sad, it breaks my heart."
"If you really cared about me, why would you wholeheartedly support Yi Lianxue?" Yi Youyou wiped away her tears and accused.
"That's because..." Yi Qilin looked embarrassed, "My cousin asked me to give her a chance, and I couldn't refuse openly, so I agreed. I never expected her to become so successful..."
Yi Youyou wasn't so easily fooled: "I don't believe it. If she didn't have the company's support, where would she get so many connections and become this popular?"
Yi Qilin said with a bitter and helpless expression, "She became popular because of a reality show, which is backed by the world's largest entertainment company, ThyssenKrupp Entertainment. Do you think I have the ability to interfere?"
"You mean, she really became famous on her own merit?" Yi Youyou was still a little skeptical.
"Maybe she's met some influential person!" Yi Qilin said meaningfully. "Now that she's famous, she's become a bit arrogant. You'd better avoid provoking her."
"I won't!" Yi Youyou was not about to give up.
Once she gained power, Yi Lianxue not only stole all the glory, but even took away her mother.
Before, Liu Ruyi only had eyes for her precious daughter, but now?
She had a premonition!
If we don't take some real action to defeat that smug and despicable person, everything will be taken away!
