Li Qingzi was at her wits’ end on one side, and the Liu Family couldn’t get any peace on the other. After running home in tears, Liu Rui rushed back to her bedroom. No matter how Wu Mengyi asked, Liu Rui just lay on the bed crying incessantly.

Wu Mengyi was anxiously pacing back and forth on the floor. When her son came in, she said, "Zhiyuan, take a look at your sister, what’s going on with her? She suddenly came home and started crying."

"No need to ask, it must be related to Xiang Weilai. Didn’t she just say she was going out to see Xiang Weilai? Now she’s come back crying like this. If it’s not to do with Xiang Weilai, what else could it be?" Liu Zhiyuan stood with arms crossed, leaning against the doorway, looking at his sister crying on the bed with furrowed brows. Then he turned and walked out without saying anything.

Wu Mengyi saw her son heading out and called him a few times from behind, but he didn’t respond and left the house, making her increasingly uneasy.

There was no need to ask; she knew her son had gone to settle accounts with Xiang Weilai, but the issue was she still didn’t know what actually happened. What if her son caused some trouble? What could be done then?

Her husband wasn’t home, her daughter was crying, and her son had left. Wu Mengyi felt her head was about to explode. Looking up, she saw Ye Qian watching from the side, with a smile like an outsider, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger rising.

"How dare you smile? If it weren’t for you, this jinx, why would our family end up like this? Since you married into our family, nothing good has happened. Look for yourself, am I wrong?" Wu Mengyi finally vented all her anger on Ye Qian. "The house is such a mess, and you have the nerve to stand there watching and laughing. Has your heart been eaten by a dog? Let me tell you, Ye Qian, you are one of the Liu family members now. As long as our family doesn’t let you go, even if you become a ghost, you’ll be the Liu family’s ghost. Seeing you like this, I won’t let my son divorce you. Let’s see how happy you can be every day!"

"Mom, I didn’t say anything; you’re just venting your anger on me. You want to kill me? If your loud scolding is heard by the neighbors on both sides, it’ll be you they’re laughing at." Ye Qian casually said, turned, and went back to her bedroom, slamming the door with force.

Wu Mengyi was so shaken by Ye Qian’s words that she trembled all over, lost her balance, and fell to the ground. The noise was so loud that it startled Liu Rui, who was crying loudly on the bed, raising her head in panic to see her mother lying painfully on the ground. She hurriedly got up to support her.

"Mom, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere? Don’t scare me!" Liu Rui’s eyes were swollen red. "Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m just in a bad mood and crying. I’m really okay. Now, tell me, are you uncomfortable anywhere? I’ll take you to the hospital now."

"No, no, I just fell. If you’re okay, Mom will be relieved. I’m just angry at that jinx." Wu Mengyi patted her chest and, with her daughter’s support, sat on the bed. "Xiao Rui, you don’t need to say these things to comfort Mom. I know you argued with Xiang Weilai. Tell me what happened? Mom can give you some advice. I’ll tell you, your brother went to find Xiang Weilai now. If it turns into a fight, and things get serious, what will we do?"

At the mention of Xiang Weilai, Liu Rui’s tears streamed down again, and she pressed her lips tightly without speaking. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Seeing her daughter like this, Wu Mengyi became even more anxious, "What’s going on, child? You have to tell me something. Do you want to worry me sick to feel at ease? Everyone’s uneasy, and you were crying here just a moment ago while she was over there laughing. Is this a family, or are they enemies instead?"

Ye Qian really did anger Wu Mengyi, or she wouldn’t have fallen.

"Mom, persuade my brother to divorce her. Since she’s like this every day, don’t stoop to her level. Let’s have a good life after. Why hold onto her in our family, making you and dad unhappy every day, and my brother in a bad mood too? Didn’t you arrange her job? Once my brother divorces her, just release the news, and let’s see how she climbs the corporate ladder then. Even though Ye Ling married well, we all know her relationship with Ye Ling. It’s impossible for Ye Ling to help her. Let her see what she’s worth after leaving our family."

"Isn’t it just your brother supporting her, refusing to divorce? Otherwise, I wouldn’t let her continue causing trouble in our home. Don’t worry. Since I arranged her work at the company, I can also make her leave." But Wu Mengyi wasn’t worried about that right now. "Xiao Rui, tell me, what happened with Weilai? Did he do something to wrong you?"

There are hardly any reasons other than having another woman outside that would make a woman so heartbroken. Wu Mengyi couldn’t think of anything else, especially since her daughter cared so much about Xiang Weilai. If absolutely necessary, her daughter would endure.

Liu Rui forced a smile through her tears, "Listen to you, as if he would do such a thing. I just went to see him, and we argued a bit. I felt bad and came running back crying. Really, it’s nothing. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have told you all!"

Wu Mengyi obviously didn’t believe her daughter’s words, but seeing her like this, she couldn’t ask further. She had to let it go.

Now, she worried about her son instead, fearing that his temper flaring now that he’s not at the company could lead to trouble. What if he really hurts Xiang Weilai?

When Liu Zhiyuan found Xiang Weilai, Weilai had already laid down. As soon as Weilai opened the door, Liu Zhiyuan threw a punch without a care. Xiang Weilai, having grown up in the compound, was alert. He took the first punch from Zhiyuan but dodged the second punch.

The two started fighting in the bedroom. Initially, when Liu Zhiyuan arrived at the inn, he didn’t rush to find Xiang Weilai. Instead, he asked around and learned there had been an argument on Weilai’s side, involving two women.

In the middle of the night, what’s the relationship between a man having another woman in his room? There’s no need to ask further, one can imagine it.

Seeing his sister cry so heartbreakingly when she returned home, Liu Zhiyuan didn’t need to ask further to understand what was going on. The burning anger engulfed him completely.
