Yu i learned about the family’s bankruptcy while she was out shopping for luxury items with colleagues.
At the next mont, when she tried to pay, the transaction couldn’t be processed.
Yu i felt utterly embarrassed and went back ho to question her parents.
Only then did her parents tell her that after she spread rumors about Lin Zhiyi in high school, Third Young Master of the Gong Family had warned their family.
That’s why her parents had forced her to apologize in public.
She thought this matter had ended there.
Who would have thought that Yu i’s family business would decline year after year, barely holding on until her college graduation.
In order to help Yu i find a good husband, the last of the family’s money was spent on getting her a job.
After all, the fashion industry is full of wealthy people.
Yu i wasn’t unattractive, and marrying a rich man wouldn’t be difficult.
After understanding this, Yu i couldn’t figure out what qualifications Lin Zhiyi had to get Third Young Master involved.
Her parents told her that Lin Zhiyi’s mother married Second Master Gong, so Lin Zhiyi was sowhat related to the Gong Family.
Again, it all ca back to Lin Zhiyi.
Yu i never liked Lin Zhiyi, not just because she was pretty, but also because of her personality.
Too quiet.
When they were causing a ruckus, she stayed calm, appearing above it all.
In high school, Yu i loved to play and make trouble, being very rebellious.
She didn’t like anyone more special than herself, so she picked on Lin Zhiyi.
It started with small provocations.
Who knew she’d see Lin Zhiyi get into an older man’s car?
Yu i originally just wanted to see Lin Zhiyi flustered, but didn’t expect her to fight back.
Forcing her to be humiliated in public.
Later, her family went bankrupt because of Lin Zhiyi.
Yu i held a grudge, but she had no ti for revenge then.
She needed to plan for her future.
Plus, with so much negative news about Lin Zhiyi online, Yu i thought she’d fall from grace sooner or later.
So she focused on herself.
After careful selection, she chose the newly appointed deputy director, now her husband.
Her colleagues said he was specially recruited from abroad, and his family was wealthy overseas.
Yu i made it her mission to get close to him.
He fell for her charms, and soon, she was pregnant.
Relying on her pregnancy, she married him.
She thought she could beco a wealthy lady but discovered his wealth was just a facade.
He ca from an ordinary family, earning scholarships to study abroad.
He interned with a good magazine abroad.
By surrounding himself with celebrities, he gained many opportunities to enter high society.
Step by step, he entered the dostic fashion scene.
Very inspirational.
He seed like a capable man.
Success seed inevitable.
Yu i thought so too when she first learned the truth.
This man could make money, had connections, and would only get more prosperous.
At least better than her bankrupt family.
But after more contact, her husband indeed used to be hardworking and ambitious.
For ordinary people, he was undeniably successful.
But in the face of true wealth, he was insignificant.
To enter the wealthy circle, even fifty years wouldn’t guarantee success.
He was also dissatisfied with his inability to climb the social ladder, so he resorted to unconventional ans.
He was good at charming wealthy won.
Skipping over twenty years of hard work to reach his current position.
But as long as the mada wasn’t impressed, his position wasn’t secure.
But Yu i was already married and pregnant.
She could only pin her hopes on him; at least with him, she had reached her current position.
Externally, they seed like a harmonious couple.
Whenever her husband got too handsy with won in private, she turned a blind eye, even helping him handle it.
She thought once her husband beca a director, she could also get promoted.
But unfortunately, all her dreams were shattered.
Her husband was forced to resign due to sexual harassnt allegations, and she was ridiculed at work.
It was just then that she saw Lin Zhiyi, accomplished and successful.
Even though Lin Zhiyi hadn’t posted any family photos on social dia.
Her words conveyed the happiness of a married woman.
But why did Lin Zhiyi deserve such happiness?
Yu i decided to conduct an exclusive interview with Lin Zhiyi.
She wanted to expose Lin Zhiyi’s hypocrisy.
Unexpectedly, she beca a laughingstock.
At this point, the elevator doors opened.
Her mother-in-law’s nagging, her child’s crying, the elevator’s loud descending noise.
Even swiping her fingerprint beca extrely difficult for Yu i.
As soon as the door opened, a wave of alcohol sll wafted out.
Her mother-in-law pushed past her to reach her son.
"Son, son, what’s happened to you?"
"All because of this jinx, Yu i. Since you married her, nothing has gone right."
Yu i didn’t have ti to retort; she collided with the shoe cabinet, hitting her forehead against the wall hook.
The pain was unbearable, driving her past her limits.
She threw her bag to the floor.
"Enough of this! How is it my fault your son ended up like this? He was caught for sexual harassnt at work. I’ve spent a lot of money protecting his reputation. I’m the one supporting him!"
"If there’s a jinx, it’s him! It’s his crooked path that led to this. I’ve had terrible luck! Useless!"
At the ntion of "useless," the man on the couch jumped up.
He slapped Yu i across the face.
"You bitch! Don’t think I don’t know how you chased after . Don’t think I don’t know your mind. Isn’t it because your family went bankrupt, and you wanted to find a rich man? Those matters with other won, didn’t you know? And you kept quiet? Now you shout at ? What are you?"
Yu i collapsed onto the floor, and her child cried in fear.
Her mother-in-law hugged the child disapprovingly, scolding Yu i: "Look at you, causing trouble all day long."
Yu i took a deep breath: "Fine, let’s divorce then. Let’s see if you still have wine to drink without . Everyone says I’ve used his money, but he’s earned so much, and most of it’s with you. When he got into trouble, what did you do?"
"You... you want to drive to death, don’t you?"
The old woman claid she was being driven to death, but at the ntion of divorce and supporting her son, her arrogance weakened.
The old lady was shrewd.
She knew her son was in a bad spot, and if Yu i divorced, she couldn’t bear the disgrace.
Besides, she couldn’t part with her grandson.
With the money in her hands, having Yu i earn to support her son was fine.
Yu i angrily said, "If you don’t want to be driven to death, stop harassing . I’m very upset now."
With that, she rubbed her face and turned into the bedroom.
Taking a deep breath, Yu i opened the computer and began writing a new article.
She believed that with years of going through ups and downs, she could succeed.
...
Lin Zhiyi watched the lively activity in the high school group chat with mixed feelings.
The group had been active after graduation, but as college life beca more engaging, everyone stopped talking.
Except for sending New Year greetings to the horoom teacher.
No matter how high school was, the horoom teacher had always treated them well, and they’d never forgotten that.
So when the suggestion for a reunion ca up, Lin Zhiyi agreed.
She knew they were curious, but her main goal was to visit their horoom teacher together.
The horoom teacher would surely be delighted to see them all together.
But there was a tricky matter.
Lin Zhiyi put down her phone and approached Gong Chen: "Husband, I have a problem."
