Mother Meng kept on targeting Ji Tongtong and making it difficult for her at every opportunity. Still, she mainly gave her a hard time at home but didn’t really take it too far either.
However, she didn’t expect that one that, she would come back home to be greeted by her husband and Stepmother Ji sleeping together.
Stepmother Ji was slightly younger than Mother Meng, she also spent a lot of money in beauty products and took great care of her appearance. When she and Ji Tongtong stood together, they almost looked like sisters.
In the past few weeks, Mother Meng and Ji Tongtong had been arguing and making trouble all day long, and wenever Father Meng intervened in favor of Ji Tongtong, he would instantly be scolded by Mother Meng.
In the long run, Father Meng naturally got further and further apart from Mother Meng.
Additionally, Stepmother Ji has been living in the Meng family house along her daughter under the guise of taking take care of her, therefore, she had many opportunities to meet and seduce Father Meng.
When this incident broke out, Meng Ran was utterly confused.
His mother-in-law and his own father got involved together? Then what about his relationship with Ji Tongtong? What where they considered now?
What the hell went wrong with his family?
Stepmother Ji thought that furiously Mother Meng would make a scene and violently argue with her. However, Mother Meng unexpectedly stayed calm the whole the night of the incident without throwing a fit.
She just directly drove Ji Tongtong and her mother out the next day.
After such a big incident happened, Meng Ran obviously couldn’t protect Ji Tongtong anymore.
And being the main party in the wrong, Father Meng naturally shrunk his head and kept quiet, unwilling to step forward and probably not even daring to do so.
The Meng family’s business was very dependent on Mother Meng’s maiden family. If he really dared to mess with his wife, he wouldn’t gai a single a single benefit and in fact suffer heavy losses.
Seeing how obedient Mother Meng usually was to Father Meng, Stepmother Ji could have never expected that she would actually be the dominant party in the relationship. She had expected Father Meng to take her side and throw away Mother Meng, however, her calculations were utterly wrong and she ended up eating a loss.
Moreover, after such a humiliation and the accumulated anger in her heart, how could Mother Meng easily let go of Stepmother Ji?
without further hesitation, Mother Meng forcefully sent Meng Ran out of the country for studies in order to keep him away from the mother and daughter duo. In the end, without Meng Ran’s protection, Ji Tongtong and Stepmother Ji had a really hard time.
They didn’t lack money when they moved out, but sometimes, money couldn’t be used.
In the end, the two were forced to leave the country to stay alive.
Later, Chu Zheng heard that they didn’t end up well abroad either. Ji Tongtong hooked up with a rich and old businessman, yet, he died soon after their marriage. Just as she thought he would leave her a lot of inheritance, her late husband didn’t even mention her in his will.
On her side, Stepmother Ji kept on looking for wealthy men to hook up with but her luck seemed to have run out.
As for Ji Tongtong, became of her late husband horrible reputation and messy business, no one dare to marry or even approach her, and she lived miserably in poverty.
Stepmother Ji couldn’t stand her situation anyway and directly killed herself.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Shen was about to graduate.
During college, Ye Shen kept on thinking of ways to make money and started his own business when he was a sophomore. After two years, his company was slowly getting giving satisfactory results and he became quite successful.
From time to time, Chu Zheng kept on throwing him random and exorbitant things. The exact word is throwing and not giving as she didn’t care about the load of things the system made her buy at all. When he realized that she really didn’t care, Ye Shen was much more relieved to accept whatever she threw at him.
Yet, when he needed money for his business, she just stood as an indifferent bystander and didn’t seem to have any intention of helping him out.
In the end, he could only rely on himself to solve his problems.
However, she later discovered that she actually got in touch with many people behind the scenes to help find investors for his company.
But that somehow seemed like a matter of facts to him after all her previous help. What he really wanted was ……
“Senior Ye Shen, Senior Ye Shen ……”
As he was heading back home, a good-looking female student stopped Ye Shen.
“Senior Ye Shen.” The girl blushed and shyly stepped forward: “Senior Ye Shen, I …… I like you, can you be my boyfriend?”
“I don’t like you.”
Ye Shen didn’t bother saying anything else and directly turned around to leave.
The girl was first stunned by his direct rejection, then she quickly stopped him again, “Senior Ye Shen, can’t you give me a chance? I really like you.”
After Ye Shen went to college, his popularity gradually rose.
The girl was famous for being the flower of her department flower, and she was confident that she was too good for someone like Ye Shen, completely out of his league. She didn’t even think that Ye Shen would plainly refuse as she arrogantly thought that nobody would turn down her confession. (TN: school flower or department flower is a title for the most good-looking girl of said school/department. Boys are called male gods or the school grass.)
“I already have someone I like.”
Ye Shen continued to bypass the girl indifferently and soon reached outside.
The girl frowned at his repeated refusal. She was still unconvinced so she stopped him again, “I heard that Senior Ye Shen needs funds for his company recently? I can invest in your ……”
