Mo Li nodded and said, “Yangyang, I have no choice but to bear with it.”
“I guess your life will probably get better once she passes on. At least Ye Xiaotian still defends you to a certain extent, otherwise, things will definitely be much worse. It’s true that wealthy families like Ye Xiaotian’s would need a male heir to carry on the bloodline. But Mo Li, do you know that doing so would be akin to altering your fate? You’re destined to have four daughters in your life. You’ll very likely bring about unwanted consequences by insisting on begging for a son,” i Yangyang said with a sigh.
“I understand, but I don’t have a choice. If we were childless, I would initiate a divorce with him. But Jiani is almost six years old now. Even if his mother lets have the custody, Xiaotian won’t agree to it either. So, I can’t kill myself or get a divorce now,” Mo Li said with a forlorn expression.
i Yangyang gazed at her with a look of pity and said, “I really hope you’ll give birth to a baby boy safely after your fate has been altered. But I don’t think you’ve hit rock bottom yet. When one is truly at their wits’ end, their personality will change completely. You told my Sis earlier that you aspire to be like her, but she’s suffered far more hardship and tornt than you have. Although she’s naturally independent and tough, the many obstacles in her life have crushed her hopes over and over again. In order to beco soone like her, you’d have to possess grit and tenacity from within. I don’t suggest you take your own life, but do you really think you can continue sitting back and swallowing your pride for the sake of your child? Do you really think you can tolerate it ’til the day your mother-in-law dies?”
Mo Li shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I have no idea if I’ll even be able to give birth to a son either.”
“I suppose you’ve heard about Jin Qingyan divorcing my sister. But I bet you didn’t know, my sister walked out of the marriage without taking any material possessions with her, and she’s even allowed Mr. Jin to have the rights to their son’s custody...”
Mo Li gasped in shock and asked, “Brother Qingyan has the custody of their child?”
“Yes, think again before saying that you want to beco a woman like her. Do you have that kind of bravery?”
“Did Xiaoning do sothing wrong or did Brother force her to?” Mo Li asked.
Needless to say, i Yangyang would not answer her directly. Instead, she said, “They ca to a mutual agreent. My Sis has her own money and assets under her na anyway. As for her son, I don’t really know what plans she has in mind.”
“Maybe you’re right. Perhaps I’m not really on the verge of despair, nor have I given up completely yet,” Mo Li said with a wry smile.
“You’ve had a hard ti being in a relationship with Ye Xiaotian throughout all these years too. I’ve heard from Tianze about the hardship you’ve endured all along. Mo Li, you ought to look forward to the future and live on well.”
“Yangyang, thank you for hearing out and giving advice. I feel so much better now.”
i Yangyang smiled and said, “Don’t ntion it, that’s what friends are for. You’re Tianze’s childhood buddy, and that makes you my friend too.”
After Mo Li left, Mr. i frantically entered and said, “Yangyang, the jade piece you bought has gone missing.”
“How did it go missing? Did you misplace it sowhere?” i Yangyang asked.
“How could I possibly leave such a valuable item you’ve given lying around? I’ve always hung it around my neck. It was still there when I went to bed last night. I just noticed that it had gone missing.”
“Let check the surveillance caras.” i Yangyang then brought him to the surveillance caras monitor room.
Both of them got a great shock after watching the footage.
During midnight, i Shuangshuang sneaked into Mr. i’s room. It was obvious what happened after.
“Father, did you drink anything before you went to bed?”
“I was about to go to sleep after showering but she ca inside my room saying that she wanted to have a chat with . She brought so beer too. I reckon... she must have taken it away from ,” said Mr. i, anger surging through his veins.
i Yangyang did not expect i Shuangshuang to steal Mr. i’s jade pendant, which cost her more than a million dollars. She was told that the jade would beco more and more psychic with extended wear.
Little did she expect...
She imdiately tried to call i Shuangshuang, who had switched off her phone.
“Seems like she knew we would find out about it sooner or later, so she switched off her phone. Let’s see if her luggage is still around.”
i Yangyang and her father zood toward i Shuangshuang’s room, only to find that all her clothes, costics, and other belongings were missing. However, she did not bring her luggage with her, perhaps because she was afraid of making too much of a noise.
“Shuangshuang has really gone overboard! Don’t bother looking for her, just let her die outside! We really shouldn’t have let her co back. She even had the guts to sell the house without our consent. Is there anything she wouldn’t dare to do? From now on, let’s not search for her at all, Yangyang. I don’t want to see her again even if she cos ho,” Mr. i hollered in exasperation.
Mr. i was seething with anger.
“Father, simr down. I’ll just buy you another jade pendant. Since she’s disregarded us as her family and hurt us ti and ti again, there’s no reason we should keep compromising and giving in to her unconditionally.”
“Yangyang, don’t buy another one. It’s too expensive. What if I lose it again?”
i Yangyang patted his hand and said, “I’ll buy you another one if it goes missing again. It’s alright, the price doesn’t matter to .”
“We’ve beco such a burden to you, Yangyang. I feel really guilty toward you. You’ve constantly had to worry about Shuangshuang and your mother,” said Mr. i, filled with imnse guilt.
“Don’t say that again, Father. Aren’t we getting on just fine now?”
Mr. i nodded as tears stread down his face uncontrollably.
After leaving the house, i Yangyang headed straight to the jewelry store to buy a similar-looking jade pendant for her father; it also cost more than a million dollars.
She brought the matter up to her husband when he returned ho in the afternoon.
“What a horrible wretch... I really wonder if your sister was adopted. Why is she so different from you?” Long Tianze remarked.
“How would I know? Maybe she had a genetic mutation when she was in my mother’s womb,” i Yangyang jested with a chuckle. “At the end of the day, children should never be pampered, regardless of gender. They can’t be spoiled rotten!”
“I agree with you...”
Just as he finished speaking, Long Xiaoxi ran down the stairs and said, “Daddy, Mommy, I want so ice cream...”
“No, you’ve already had so this morning. You’re still really small in size, you’re going to fall ill if you eat too much ice cream,” i Yangyang refused imdiately.
Pouting her lips, Long Xiaoxi walked toward Long Tianze and tugged his arm with her chubby hands while whining, “Daddy, look how an Mommy is to . I want to have so ice cream, Daddy, will you let ?”
“Yes, yes. There’s ice cream in the freezer, go get it yourself...” said Long Tianze.
“Yay, thank you, Daddy. Daddy, you’re the best Daddy...” Long Xiaoxi exclaid gleefully. She gave him a peck on his cheek and skipped away rrily.
“Long. Tian. Ze!!! What you were saying just now...” i Yangyang bellowed, glowering at him.
“What did I say? I just said that I agree with your theory that your sister had undergone a genetic mutation while she was still a fetus in your mother’s womb. I didn’t say anything else.”
i Yangyang was furious beyond words. “Weren’t you referring to what I said about not spoiling our children rotten?”
