"Yu Yan!"
Under Zhao Guoqiang's roar, the magnificent villa gate collapsed with a crash.
He made his fortune in the sporting goods business. He is 1.85 meters tall and has a very muscular build.
He's usually terrified just to stretch out his arm while walking down the street; to him, an incredibly sturdy door looks like a piece of foam board.
The loud noise caused the onlookers outside to take two steps back, fearing they might be accidentally injured.
"You'd better explain to me clearly why—"
His gaze shifted to the living room, and his angry voice abruptly ceased.
Grandpa Zhao was also completely bewildered.
Why is Yu Yan kneeling on the ground?
"Waaaaah, honey, I know I was wrong..."
"I will never dare to do it again. I will definitely take good care of Dad from now on. Please forgive me this once."
A simply dressed woman, with disheveled hair, was kneeling in the center of the living room. Her waist was so thin it could be encircled by a single hand, and her once beautiful face looked particularly pitiful.
Zhao Guoqiang was momentarily dazed, then clenched his fists.
I was completely captivated by her face back then, and I was determined to marry her no matter what. Little did I know that this would bring me trouble!
"Wrong?"
"You treat my dad like this, and you think you can just brush it off with a flimsy excuse like 'I was wrong'!"
He didn't even glance at her, and helped Old Master Zhao sit down on the sofa. "Dad, calm down, I'll definitely teach her a lesson today!"
"Oh dear, what a good son-in-law! Yu Yan did this because of me. If you're going to punish someone, punish me too!"
Suddenly, a burly, fat woman appeared out of nowhere. Her eyes were squeezed shut by the fat on her face, leaving only slits.
Her feigned pitifulness sent chills down everyone's spine.
The three old men were perfectly in sync, rubbing their arms incessantly, their expressions incredibly fascinating!
"Mother?"
Zhao Guoqiang stared for a long time before realizing that the person who came was his mother-in-law!
She wasn't this fat when I saw her before the Lunar New Year!
"Oh! What a good son-in-law!"
"It's all my fault. Yu Yan has always wanted me to come and live with her so we can enjoy life together, but... but your dad is afraid of what the neighbors will say, so he didn't agree."
“I fell at home two months ago, and no one even helped call an ambulance. I was in the hospital for several months. Yu Yan was also angry and felt that her mother was having a hard time. In a moment of confusion, she wanted to vent her anger.”
"You two are husband and wife, if you have any arguments or fights, come at me. Don't ruin our relationship!"
Grandma Yu burst into tears.
Zhao Guoqiang felt uneasy after hearing this, as if there was indeed such a thing.
It's understandable that Yu Yan felt uncomfortable because her mother-in-law was hurt, but...
"Harmony my ass!"
Grandpa Tian rushed over and started yelling at Grandma Yu, "Your daughter gives you 200,000 yuan a month, enough to support a pig farm. Look at all that fat on you, and you call that having a hard time?"
"How are college graduates who only earn 3,000 yuan a month supposed to live?"
Homebody Yanmiao: I suspect you're subtly criticizing me, but I have no proof, since I can't even earn 3,000 a month.
"You fat hag, it's you and your daughter who teamed up to bully Old Zhao. Who are you trying to fool with your crying and whining? Our Little Zhao won't fall for it!"
"Yes, this matter cannot be left like this!"
Zhao Guoqiang was pulled back and said firmly.
Yes, 200,000 a month, if that's considered hard work, then there's no justice in the world!
"And mental illness! What a joke! I didn't even know Dad had a mental illness!"
"Yu Yan, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, when have I ever mistreated you? You even scheme against and smear my father, I can't live like this anymore!"
"divorce!"
"Clap clap clap—"
"Well done!"
Second Uncle and Old Master Tian, always eager for a good show, clapped their hands loudly.
"Honey, I promise I'll never do it again. We can't get a divorce. It's okay if you don't believe me, I'll prove it myself, but you can't ignore the children!"
Yu Yan knew she had broken his heart.
Only one last trump card can be played.
My daughter, Zhao Xinyue!
"Xinyue is already a senior in high school, this is a crucial time, she can't be affected!"
Her words were three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. As she said this, she was still desperately pinching her thigh, trying to cry even more miserably.
Unable to sway Zhao Guoqiang, Old Master Zhao couldn't sit still any longer. "Fine, for Yueyue's sake, I won't hold it against you..."
It doesn't matter if things are chaotic at home, but if his precious granddaughter is affected, he will feel worse than if he were called crazy.
After saying that, he hunched over and went back to his room.
"Old Zhao, you—"
Grandpa Tian wanted to persuade her again, but Yan Miao secretly tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.
"Uncle Zhao, Second Uncle and Grandpa Tian are both good friends of Grandpa Zhao. We're worried about him. Can we stay at your house tonight?"
A harmless smile is something no one can resist.
"There's not enough room at home—"
"Of course! I'd love to!"
“Yu Yan, I’m forgiving you because of Xin Yue. This family is not your place to make decisions. I will not give you a single penny from now on. If you still do not repent when Xin Yue goes to college, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.”
Zhao Guoqiang's words were like a bucket of cold water, chilling Yu Yan to the bone.
She looked up and glared fiercely at the three of them.
A few old geezers, and a little bitch!
Just wait, one day she'll send that old geezer to a mental hospital, and then we'll see how smug you all are!
There's still plenty of time; I'm not worried about not being able to win back my husband's heart.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"
"By the way, Aunt Yu, my dad sent a lot of bags of rice. Since you like plain rice porridge so much, save them all for making porridge!"
You're welcome...
The maid led the group to the guest room. When they were almost at the corner of the stairs, Yan Miao suddenly turned her head and said something.
White Congee Sister, I'll drink you until you die!
Zhao Guoqiang thought the suggestion was good and immediately gave the order.
"From now on, we'll cook plain porridge for her, and she's not allowed to have any pickled vegetables with it. If she doesn't finish the rice that Chairman Yan gave her, she'll have to eat plain porridge for a whole day!"
"Yes, sir."
The nanny responded, lowering her head to hide her suppressed laughter.
"Are we just going to let this go?"
The second uncle was unwilling to accept this.
"What's the rush? Everyone get some sleep first. We have big things to do tonight!"
Yan Miao's mysterious manner made the two of them very curious.
"Hahaha, what exactly are you going to do? Put Yu Yan in a sack and beat her up?"
"That won't work. She loves to look good, so cut her hair!"
"Tch, I see there's a small pond in the yard, how about we throw her in there and make her eat mud?"
The servant walked in front without daring to utter a single word; was this something I could listen to?
"Stop guessing, remember to get some rest."
Yan Miao took a candy out of her pocket, leisurely tore off the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth. "Hehe, a secret cannot be revealed..."
