Chapter 815: There is a Reason for Kicking Someone When They are Down

The old man's expression softened instantly.

He explained, "We come from the countryside and haven't seen much of the world. The boy's mother thought this was very pretty, so she went upstairs to take a look."

Just as he finished explaining, a sharp alarm suddenly rang out from the bedroom.

The alarm came from the safe, which was hidden in a very discreet spot inside the wardrobe; if one hadn't been rummaging around, it would never have been discovered.

Of course, even if it were discovered, it wouldn't have sounded if it hadn't been tampered with.

"What's going on? It just keeps ringing..."

Lv Qiang's mother ran down the stairs in a panic, and to everyone's shock, several necklaces were around her neck—all of them belonged to Yuke.

"You should leave; this marriage proposal is void," Shi Youxuan said with a cold face, ordering them to leave.

"Who are you? By what right do you tell us to leave? This is my son's house, get out!" The old woman's attitude was arrogant; she pointed her index finger at Shi Youxuan to "order her out."

On her fingers, she wore several glittering rings, which also belonged to Yuke.

Her jewelry had been left on the tabletop.

In fact, Shi Yucheng had also prepared quite a lot of valuable jewelry for his eldest daughter, but they were in the safe, which she hadn't managed to get into.

Shi Youxuan hadn't come alone; she had brought bodyguards. The bodyguards poured sobering medicine into the two people's mouths, and they soon woke up.

After sobering up, they understood everything.

It turned out the whole family had been plotting against them. It was fortunate that it was exposed early; if they had only found out after the wedding, it would have been too late.

Shi Yucheng announced that the marriage was cancelled and told them to leave immediately.

Having finally found a chance to climb the social ladder, Lv Qiang was unwilling to give up just like that and still wanted to use sweet talk to coax people, but with Shi Youxuan there, his little schemes were destined to fail.

"If you don't leave, I'm calling the police."

Shi Yucheng did what he said and immediately had Shi Liu call the police. Fearing that making a scene would look bad, Lv Qiang, though unwilling, took his parents and left.

"My necklaces, my rings, those were gifts from my sister," Yuke cried out.

The old woman was very reluctant, but with everyone watching, she had no choice but to take them off and place them dejectedly on the coffee table.

Shi Liu had sharp eyes; seeing that the old woman's pockets were also bulging, he asked, "What are you hiding in your pockets? Take it out."

"Nothing, it's all my own stuff."

She denied it repeatedly and subconsciously covered her pockets.

Yuke shouted, "She snatched all my valuable things, and even took the loose change from my piggy bank!"

The woman's pockets were indeed filled with coins from the piggy bank!

They were bulging and heavy, yet worth very little money.

To not even spare the loose change in a piggy bank—how greedy could one be?

Shi Liu was so angry he wanted to call the police, but in the end, Shi Yucheng didn't allow it and let them go.

However, Lv Qiang's job at Dingsheng was over.

If one's character is too poor, no matter how capable they are, they aren't wanted.

The second one was introduced by Jian Yixin.

It was the son of one of her clients. The client was a very capable woman from a well-off family, and her son was in his twenties, handsome and suave.

What was important was that he was a graduate of a top-tier university and had a good job.

The conditions were too good, and Jian Yixin hesitated.

Could someone with such good conditions actually take a fancy to Yuke?

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon.

So she asked, "Sister Zhang, the woman I'm introducing has some mental issues; her intelligence is only at the level of a five-year-old."

The client smiled brightly: "I know. It's fine, I've taken a fancy to Yuke; I know about her."

"She was once the greatest beauty in Jiangzhou, later disfigured by her ex-husband, and even spent time in a mental hospital..." The woman knew Yuke's past very clearly, even down to the details.

And as she spoke, the hatred in her eyes could not be hidden at all.

Jian Yixin:...

Later, they spoke frankly, and the woman told Jian Yixin everything.

Yuke had once seduced her husband, and her son had happened to walk in on them. The son, in a fit of anger, argued with his father, and Yuke had given him a shove, causing his head to hit the corner of the table and bleed profusely.

The son had been autistic ever since; they had spent a lot of money and seen many doctors, but he never got better.

She had divorced her husband because of this and lived alone with her son.

Although the son appeared excellent on the surface, he had a severe psychological illness. Both mother and son hated Yuke the most and had always wanted revenge but never found the opportunity.

After Yuke became a fool, she was happier than anyone. Hearing that Yuke was going on blind dates, she wanted to marry Yuke into her home and then torture her to death!

Jian Yixin refused directly.

Sister Zhang was particularly uncomprehending: "Have you gone stupid too? Not long ago, you were dying to get rid of her; why are you protecting her like a relative now?"

Jian Yixin: "She has already received her punishment, so I have let it go."

"Her father, who is also my godfather, taught me a principle—love is more powerful than hate."

Later, Yuke met several more blind date candidates, but none were satisfactory. Most were after the Shi Family's money, and a large portion hoped that the Shi Family's wealthy and powerful relatives could help them out.

They all came with agendas, and their motives were too pure. Shi Yucheng worried that after he passed away, his son-in-law would abuse his daughter.

So he gave up the idea; forget it, he was prepared to take care of his daughter for the rest of his life.

He couldn't rest easy handing her over to anyone.

Gu Zhihao was back in the residential complex collecting scrap, accompanied by that burly woman, with two five or six-year-old boys following behind them.

Shi Yuke did not care about that; she still went to talk to Gu Zhihao just as she had before.

But she no longer called him Uncle.

"Zhihao, you've lost weight."

"Zhihao, I want to eat soup dumplings, can you take me?"

Gu Zhihao:...

He glanced at the woman beside him, and the woman was also looking at him with a face full of vigilance.

So he said to Shi Yuke: "Yuke, let someone else take you. I am a man with a wife now; I can only take my wife and children to eat delicious food, and I have money to spend on my wife and children, I cannot take you."

"Why?"

"Because I am married."

"But I'm not married, I'll take you."

Gu Zhihao:...

The woman's patience was worn thin, and she pulled and dragged Shi Yuke in front of Shi Yucheng.

She told him to keep an eye on his daughter and not let her openly seduce her man.

Shi Yucheng led his daughter home and, hardening his heart, gave her a beating!

Her father taught her that doing such things was wrong; no matter how good another person's man was, she could not harbor inappropriate thoughts.

Shi Yuke pouted in grievance, unconvinced: "I knew him first."

Shi Yucheng widened his eyes: "Even if you knew him first, it won't do. They are a legal married couple now. If you harbor inappropriate thoughts again, that is called being a third party, and it is shameless."

After being beaten and scolded by her father, Shi Yuke obediently stopped going to find Gu Zhihao.

She only lay on the windowsill and watched longingly when their family of four arrived.

She even argued with justification: "I'm not going out, I'm not talking to him, I'm just watching from afar, that's allowed, right?"

Shi Yucheng did not make a sound; pretending not to hear, he walked upstairs with his hands behind his back.
