So, Li Zhiyan’s praise genuinely made He Yanrong feel happy.
"Nonsense. Your Aunt Shen and Aunt Lai, aren’t they just as good as ?"
"Whether it’s being demure like a little jade or graceful and composed, both of your aunts are wonderful."
"I an..."
"That kind of charm, I can’t quite put it into words. Anyway, you’re the most feminine woman I’ve ever t, Aunt."
He Yanrong stroked Li Zhiyan’s head gently.
"You’re trying to say Aunt looks, uh, provocative, right?"
"And you’re curious about how many n Aunt has been with?"
"No, Aunt Rong, I just think you’re beautiful."
"It’s okay. Liu Li calls provocative all the ti. I’ve gotten used to it. But Aunt isn’t like that—I’ve been alone in an empty house for nearly 20 years."
Talking about this made He Yanrong feel a bit bitter. Her fate really wasn’t good at all.
"Huh?"
Li Zhiyan was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe that such an enchanting Aunt Rong had actually been alone for twenty years.
He Yanrong was bound to have countless admirers wherever she went—how could she endure this?
A woman’s loneliness isn’t sothing easily suppressed.
"Even though it doesn’t seem entirely logical, it’s the absolute truth."
"By the way, Aunt Rong, you said you had an ex. Wasn’t that your ex-husband?"
"No."
He Yanrong put on her sunglasses, perhaps to hide her sadness from Li Zhiyan.
Most beautiful won’s lives are tragic.
He Yanrong was no exception.
Just like Shen Hongi and Lai Feifei, they all had their own sorrows.
"A child out of wedlock?"
"Not that either. I just mistakenly thought I was married."
"What do you an, Aunt?"
Li Zhiyan’s curiosity was completely piqued.
"Aunt’s family was poor, so I had to quit school early. Later, I went out to work at a young age."
"During my first job, the boss ca knocking on my door in the middle of the night."
"He wanted to co in."
"I was so scared I didn’t dare make a sound. I ran away in the middle of the night."
Li Zhiyan listened quietly to He Yanrong’s story. Sharing pain was certainly a powerful way to relieve inner pressure; this might help make Aunt Rong feel a bit better.
"Later, I switched to another job."
"The hotel boss spiked my water with sleeping pills. Thankfully, my parents showed up, or the consequences would have been unimaginable."
A dazzling appearance truly tends to invite trouble.
"Aunt Rong, good looks are given by your parents—it’s not your fault. It’s those people who are beasts. It’s just a pity that back then it wasn’t easy to preserve evidence. Otherwise, they should have all been arrested."
"After that, I changed jobs many tis, but wherever I went, soone always tried to lay hands on ."
"They wanted to take advantage of Aunt with harassnt, or even tried to keep as a mistress."
"Ever since, Aunt has been deeply afraid of n."
Li Zhiyan opened his arms, and He Yanrong accepted the embrace.
"It’s okay, Aunt."
He patted He Yanrong’s back gently, thinking he needed to coin a word for Aunt Rong: "EF."
"But there were a lot of decent people chasing too. It’s just that so many were pursuing that back then Aunt beca a bit full of herself."
"So I made up my mind that I had to marry an outstanding man."
"Later, when Aunt ca to Shanghai to work..."
"I t a very handso man—that would be Liu Jinxin’s father."
"He was a very good-looking, wealthy man, humorous and charming, extrely gentle, and attentive."
"He even drove a rcedes back then."
"It must’ve been around the year 2000."
Li Zhiyan understood. Driving a rcedes in 2000 was no small thing, especially in that era before economic growth took off.
Even owning just a Santana back then would an you had considerable wealth.
"At the ti, Aunt wasn’t planning on dating, but he kept pestering ."
"Eventually, I was moved."
"And we got together."
Li Zhiyan listened quietly. This was human nature—perfectly normal. Anyone, man or woman, would want to find soone they like.
"A little over a month later, he took Aunt to a hotel."
"I refused to sleep with him because my parents had said no matter what, it had to wait until marriage."
"So I told him, ’If you want this, we’ll have to get married first.’"
"He happily agreed. The next day, we got a marriage certificate."
"He even hosted a big wedding in my hotown and bought a house for ."
"At the ti, my parents were thrilled, thinking they found a great son-in-law."
"After the wedding, he brought Aunt to work at Century Palace—it was his sister’s business."
"You can tell Century Palace has been around for years."
"Yeah."
"He said it was a family business. At first, I was startled."
"I thought he wanted to be a massage worker."
"But no, he wanted Aunt to be the manager, overseeing the workers instead."
"The others call ’Mama.’ Over the years, I’ve seen countless staff co and go. Of the first group, only Liu Li is still here now."
"Gradually, Aunt realized he was the kind of man who could operate on both sides of the law."
"Very capable."
"But there were many things he didn’t let Aunt know."
"Even so, Aunt found life very sweet back then."
"But what Aunt never expected was..."
"He was already married."
This twist also blindsided Li Zhiyan.
"Aunt Rong, if he was married, how did he register a marriage with you?"
"I was too naive then. He asked for my ID card, saying a friend would handle the papers for us."
"Back then, Aunt didn’t know much—I was just a fool. I had no idea marriage required a household registration booklet too."
"Holding a fake marriage certificate, I genuinely believed I was married."
"Until one day, his original wife ca back."
"I swear, she was a stunning beauty too."
"No worse than Aunt in any way, though her personality was terrible—spoiled and arrogant, the kind of girl pampered since birth."
"At the ti, Aunt didn’t understand why he was so greedy. With a wife that gorgeous at ho..."
"Why involve ?"
"That day, she and a few won surrounded Aunt and pinned to the ground, beating up."
"They kicked Aunt in the stomach. Back then, I was already about five months pregnant."
"They kicked so badly I bled a lot."
As she recounted this, He Yanrong’s complexion turned pale.
