~9 min read 1,659 words

Xie's eldest aunt took the agreement and urged Zhou's mother to settle the money quickly, then asked Rong Yue to take her to the bedroom to pack her luggage and items, thinking of going home early.

"No rush to go home," Xie Yang said. "I've booked a hotel. We'll stay in the Provincial Capital for a few days; since we're here, we should have a good time. Besides, hasn't Eldest Sister eaten anything since she came out of the hospital? Let's find a place to have something hot; there's no need to rush on the road."

Only then did Xie's eldest aunt notice her daughter's complexion, feeling incredibly guilty: "Yang Yang is still the observant one; Mom didn't even notice your complexion was so poor."

Zhou's mother endured all sorts of displeasure in her heart and squeezed out a fawning smile: "Little Rong, what I said before was all angry talk. Just treat it as if I passed gas. Don't move out; if Ah Feng comes back in a while, I won't even know how to explain it to him. I... I'll go buy a chicken and stew chicken soup for you to drink."

"No need." Rong Yue had completely let go. She looked at Zhou's mother calmly and said word by word, "The bond between Zhou Feng and me is finished. From now on, we go our separate ways."

After saying this, she led her maternal family to her room to move her luggage.

Xie Xufang, that mischievous ghost, stuffed everything Rong Yue had paid for—even a coaster or a dishcloth—into an eco-bag to take away: "I'd rather give it to anyone than the Zhou family!"

The Zhou family: "..."

Xie Yang did not take everyone to stay at the new house she had just "bought."

Although it was delivered fully furnished and Boss Shao had bought it for investment purposes and had never moved in, it had been a while since the handover, it hadn't been cleaned, and it lacked quilts and pillows, so it was impossible to stay there.

She simply booked the presidential suite occupying the entire floor at the most expensive five-star hotel in the Provincial Capital.

"Eldest Sister, from now on, just rest your body with peace of mind. Once your body is recovered, you can do whatever you want," Xie Yang comforted her cousin.

Rong Yue found it funny watching her cousin comfort her so seriously and teased her on purpose: "Really, I can do whatever I want? Even if I don't want to work and just want to lie flat and rot?"

"Sure! Why not?" Xie Yang said with a smile, "Ask Eldest Aunt if you have the qualifications to lie flat and rot?"

Xie's eldest aunt twitched her lips: "What kind of talk is this! How can you think of lying flat and rotting at such a young age? But daughter, if you really don't want to work, then come home with Mom; Mom will support you! Your cousin gave you a large villa in the County. Didn't you like painting before? Paint with peace of mind in that villa, get your body healthy, and living happily is more important than anything. We'll talk about the future later."

Rong Yue thought she had misheard: "Mom, what did you say? Cousin gave me a large villa?"

"That's right, Eldest Sister." Xie Xufang cut a plate of fruit and brought it in, answering casually, "It's a detached villa in Longjing Mountain Garden! Market price is ten million! Not only do you have one, but I have one, and my brother and little cousin have them too. Oh, speaking of which, my little uncle-in-law was actually so rich! It's a pity his life was too short! If he were still alive, how much he would have enjoyed!"

Xie Yang: "..."

If he were still alive, this inheritance wouldn't exist, little brother.

She looked at Rong Yue with a smile: "The villa was transferred to your name three days ago. Did Eldest Aunt actually hold back until now to tell you?"

Rong Yue looked up at her mother.

Xie's eldest aunt: "I just felt that such a big matter couldn't be explained clearly over the phone, so I wanted to wait until Yueyue got home to tell her."

After digesting this massive windfall, Rong Yue was so excited she wanted to run a few laps downstairs: "Ahhh! I actually have a house of my own! And it's a large villa my cousin gave me! Speaking of which, Mom, it's fortunate you didn't tell me in advance. If you had called a day earlier and Zhou Feng had heard, believe me, his family would have pestered me to go register for a marriage certificate immediately. I've seen through this family!"

"Once you've seen through them, let's go home! Stay far away from this family and don't have any more entanglements."

"Don't worry, Mom. Even if I stay in the Provincial Capital, I won't have any more entanglements with Zhou Feng. I've really thought it through."

"It's good that you've thought it through. You're still young. Originally, Mom didn't approve of you getting engaged right after graduation, but things are in the past, so let's not mention them. Let's look forward! It's hard to find a three-legged toad, but can't we find a good man among those with two legs? Later, Mom will entrust someone to find you someone a thousand or ten thousand times better than the one surnamed Zhou!"

Xie Xufang was eating the imported fruit sent by the hotel and couldn't stop praising it, saying casually: "Eldest Sister, why look for a partner? Didn't they say men only affect the speed at which you women draw your blades?"

"..."

Over there, Zhou Feng received a call from Zhou's mother and for a moment suspected his mother had made a mistake:

"Mom, did you get it wrong? Where would Rong Yue get rich relatives? It's not like we haven't seen her relatives; one is poorer than the next... What? You said her little aunt's daughter? Ha! Her little aunt was pregnant while still in college and dropped out voluntarily to go to Nancheng because she was afraid of losing face. I heard she's been relying on odd jobs to survive all these years, and her life is quite hard. Her cousin hasn't graduated long, right? How could she possibly have money..."

Zhou's mother: "It's true. Her cousin bought the entire building king in our residential area! A full one hundred and eighty units! The general manager of the sales department and the property manager came to the door personally to say this. How could it be fake?"

"..."

"Ah Feng, although Rong Yue moved her things away, she has always been obedient to you in the past. Make a phone call to coax her and let her have a change of heart. Later, when you two get married, her rich cousin might give her a house as a dowry. There are one hundred and eighty units; it's just a matter of letting a little slip through her fingers."

"But... we've already made such a scene..." Zhou Feng cared more about his face than his mother.

Zhou's mother was dismissive: "It's normal for a young couple to have a fight; a fight at the head of the bed is resolved at the foot of the bed! They didn't leave today and went to a hotel; presumably, Rong Yue can't bear to part with you, otherwise why wouldn't she leave? And going to the trouble of staying in a hotel—it's not cheap for so many people to stay in a hotel..."

Hearing his mother say this, Zhou Feng suddenly felt a bit moved.

If Rong Yue's cousin was really that rich, then this marriage definitely couldn't fall through!

So he hung up the phone and sent a sentimental message to Rong Yue, only to find out after sending it that he had been blocked.

"..."

Not only did she block him, but Xie Yang also had Xie Xufang write a short essay and send it to the public email address of Zhou Feng's company, thoroughly exposing the shameless actions of the Zhou family.

The next day, Zhou Feng's actions, including those of his parents, were known to everyone in the company.

Zhou Feng had originally planned to pursue his boss's daughter after breaking up with Rong Yue. Now, not to mention his beautiful dream being dashed, he couldn't even stay in the company.

Every day at work, it was like being stripped naked for everyone to scrutinize. He had no choice but to resign and go to a small company with benefits far inferior to the previous one.

Zhou's mother tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice, and was so angry she almost ended up in the hospital.

Unable to swallow this breath no matter what, she made a call to her elegant and noble official-wife cousin, wanting to invite this capable cousin to step in and deal with the Xie Family for her.

As it happened, Zhou's mother's cousin was none other than the senior in college who had plotted to frame Xie Shuling for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, causing her to drop out.

After listening to the bodyguard's report on the secret maneuvers Zhou's mother was making, and looking at the detailed relationship network of Zhou's mother and her cousin's family that the Main System had retrieved for her, Xie Yang couldn't help but clap her hands and exclaim what a small world it was!

Honestly, if Zhou's mother hadn't stirred up trouble, she really wouldn't have thought of avenging Ms. Xie for what happened back then, as it had been so long.

But she didn't expect that she wouldn't look for the other party, yet the other party would deliver themselves to her door.

So what are we waiting for? Let's settle the new grudges and old accounts all at once!
