Zhou Chenyu gripped her phone:
"Fine, Mom, since you've already made up your mind, I have no more worries.
"I just want to see what kind of terrible end those two adulterers will come to."
Nanny Wu looked at the dozen or so garbage bags beside her.
All her hard work over a lifetime had only amounted to this. She clenched her teeth and said venomously:
"I was forced into this—forced by Liu Renzhi."
She had Zhou Chenyu quickly contact several major media outlets. As soon as they heard it was dirt on Liu Renzhi, they all expressed interest.
After hanging up, Zhou Chenyu curled the corner of her mouth:
"Liu Renzhi, let's burn it all down together."
In his rented room, Wang Hao also received Zhou Chenyu's message.
Now, like Zhou Chenyu, he was filled with nothing but hatred.
After spending more than ten days in the police station, he was immediately fired by his company upon release.
They even refused to pay him a single cent of his wages, citing that he had harmed the company's interests.
He swallowed his anger and applied to other companies, but his resumes were swallowed up without a trace.
He had no choice but to go directly to ask. As soon as they heard his name was Wang Hao, they sent him home.
He didn't understand, so he asked the HR:
"Why? I have education, skills, and years of work experience—why won't you hire me?"
A kind older sister told him:
"Have you offended some big shot? Someone has put the word out—no company in this city will hire you.
"Young man, you'd better just move somewhere else to live."
Wang Hao finally understood. It was Liu Renzhi stirring up trouble. It was him and Lin Wanyi trying to drive him into the ground.
He hated them. Hated them down to the bone.
After all, he had come to this city for Lin Wanyi.
He had come with sincerity, hoping to get back together. He had even abandoned his own parents, traveling thousands of miles, even considering settling down here by marrying into her family.
But how could Lin Wanyi be so cruel as to not even give him a chance at work?
They wanted to cut off every escape route.
He lay in the cramped rented room, unable to sleep.
Half a year ago, he and Lin Wanyi had both lived in the countryside.
Just a few months later, why should Lin Wanyi be living the life of a wealthy wife in a luxurious household, while he couldn't even find a job?
His rage burned like a flame.
Yesterday, he had originally planned to go to the hospital and confront Lin Wanyi, but unexpectedly, he ran into Zhou Chenyu outside the door.
Perfect.
He knew all about Liu Renzhi, and of course he knew who Zhou Chenyu was.
So he found Zhou Chenyu and exaggerated the story, adding fuel to the fire.
In the end, he successfully got two hundred thousand.
Now he could finally catch his breath—and wait to see Lin Wanyi get what she deserved.
At the Liu family villa.
Su Jing was chatting with Chen Hui:
"That Zhou Chenyu and her mother are utterly despicable. I can't believe I used to treat them so well."
"Back then, I truly treated Zhou Chenyu like a child of the family. I even thought about setting her up with Renzhi at one point.
"Looking back now, it's terrifying. Good thing Renzhi never took a liking to her, or I'd be furious right now."
Liu Siyue added:
"She used to call herself the eldest Miss of the Liu family at school, calling me the second Miss.
"Mom, you were just too kind."
Su Jing didn't regret it. She only felt she had a clear conscience.
She never mistreated her household staff.
But Zhou Chenyu and Nanny Wu had dug their own graves.
They chatted cheerfully as Liu Siyue teased Wang Keke:
"Keke, in a little while, you'll need to call my brother 'Dad' and call me 'Auntie,' okay?"
Wang Keke was sweet-tongued and immediately called out:
"Auntie."
Liu Siyue was overjoyed, nodding her head over and over, then finally told Wang Keke:
"Come on, Auntie will take you to the mall to buy you some pretty little dresses.
"Little girls need to wear lots of pretty clothes to look nice—otherwise, when you grow up, there won't be such lovely dresses anymore."
With that, she grabbed Wang Keke and Chen Hui and headed out.
Of course, she also took Su Jing along.
All the way, she kept talking to Chen Hui:
"Huihui, you have no idea—I've wanted a little niece for so long. I could dress her up all pretty every day.
"I'm going to be the best auntie ever, taking care of my brother's child just like he took care of me."
Chen Hui pulled out her phone and recorded Liu Siyue's excitement, sending it to Lin Wanyi along with a text:
【Big Sister, look how happy Keke is at the Liu's. You can rest easy.】
When Lin Wanyi received the message, she buried her face in the blankets and cried.
Just a few months ago, Wang Keke was still called a "burden" and "worthless girl" by the Wang family, unwanted by everyone.
A few months later, and she had become the apple of the Liu family's eye.
So how could life be the same no matter who you lived with?
It wasn't.
It was completely different.
Li Suhua's periods of clarity grew longer. Lin Wanyi showed her the video Chen Hui had sent:
"Mom, look how happy Keke is. Siyue and Aunt Su truly treat her like Renzhi's own child."
"Good, good."
Li Suhua spoke slowly:
"It's wonderful. My Keke has finally escaped that misery.
"Wanyi, I have no other advice for you except this: people need to be considerate of each other. If others treat us well, we must know gratitude and contentment.
"Renzhi's family is wealthy, he is good to you, and he doesn't hesitate to spend money. But remember, never be greedy.
"Don't think that just because you marry Renzhi, you need to take charge of everything in the Liu family or have the final say in everything.
"Whether it's the Liu family's money or Renzhi's money, don't pry into it too much.
"As for what they give Siyue, you absolutely must not fight for it—this is especially important. Remember this.
"Always remember: a person must never be greedy."
Lin Wanyi nodded. Of course she understood.
The Liu family's wealth was more than she could ever spend, something she would never have dreamed of in the first thirty years of her life.
She wouldn't be greedy. Having enough for her needs was plenty.
She would never lay a finger on a single cent of Liu Siyue's.
She was already more than content with what she had now.
Liu Siyue took Wang Keke shopping at several stores.
From head to toe, from hats to socks, Liu Siyue bought her countless outfits.
Every set was outrageously expensive.
So expensive that even Chen Hui was stunned:
"Siyue, you really know how to spend."
Liu Siyue chuckled:
"Of course! I'm a good aunt. Besides, all this money was earned by my brother.
"Like they say, 'the wool comes from the sheep,' hahaha."
Then she thought for a moment and dragged Chen Hui into a maternity store:
"Come on, Huihui, pick some things for your baby too—I'll pay."
Chen Hui smiled and waved her hand: "It's still early, just two months. We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl. No rush, no rush."
Su Jing said:
"What does that matter? Just prepare a little of everything—for boys and girls alike."
Chen Hui still insisted on not buying anything.
She was already imposing enough by staying at the Liu family's. Even though the Liu family had plenty of money, she still had a sense of boundaries.
The group happily shopped, snacking and drinking along the way.
No one expected to run into Huang Chunlian in the store.
She was buying clothes for herself, admiring herself this way and that in the mirror.
When she saw Su Jing, she immediately called out:
"Sister-in-law, what a coincidence!"
Su Jing didn't want to acknowledge her and turned to leave.
But Huang Chunlian set her gaze on Liu Siyue and said with a meaningful tone:
"So this is Siyue? Such a pretty girl. Do you have a boyfriend yet?
"If not, Auntie happens to have a wonderful son, just a few years older than you. How about you try meeting him?
Auntie tells you, my son is very exceptional—handsome and talented, and he manages a big company.
Compared to Ren Zhi, he's more than good enough. Siyue, how about I introduce you two?"
