The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Gao Qinghe's impression of Yan Hong was still that of her fierce and crazy appearance when she was chasing her mistress all over the city with a kitchen knife in her hand.

The news of the wife's cruel revenge against the mistress's entire family was featured on a provincial TV station's legal affairs special.

Every woman who has seen this feature has to say it's incredibly satisfying.

Every man who watched this feature called it stupid.

Why seek revenge on the mistress's entire family? If you're so capable, why don't you castrate the cheating husband?

In the end, the man who cheated on his wife was still alive and well.

Anyone can be wise after the event.

However, given the social context of that time, this woman's revenge was enough to deeply shake the hearts of the entire county.

Only those who experienced it firsthand know that the cheating husband was just lucky.

Yan Hong and her husband Yu Long met in the late 1980s.

One is a naive sixteen-year-old girl from a rural family that favors sons over daughters.

One is a 26-year-old bachelor who was recently released from prison after a period of stagnation.

The two, who were ten years apart in age, lived together in a dilapidated bungalow with a single iron bed.

After having two sons in the following three years, the couple finally held a wedding ceremony with their children and obtained their marriage certificate.

In the past few years, relying on his past connections and the abundant local coal resources, Yu Long opened a storage yard and formed a truck fleet. The couple's life has been getting better and better.

But things don't always go as planned; what goes around comes around.

Yu Long accidentally paralyzed someone in his early years. Three years after his release, he was retaliated against by the other person's relatives and had one of his legs cut off.

After that, Yu Long stepped down to the second line, and Yan Hong took his place.

The infamous "Brother Long" in the underworld has become "Sister Hong".

Gao Qinghe is hosting dinner tonight, and the couple arrived at the hotel early to prepare everything.

At 6 p.m., Yan Hong and her family of four arrived on time.

Later, Jiang Baohai invited Lao Cui and Lao Yu, who were accompanying him, to come with their respective partners.

They were all people she had met before, only decades younger, and Gao Qinghe handled them with ease.

Yan Hong slapped away her youngest son's hand as he reached for the plate of pastries on the table, and looked at Gao Qinghe with a sigh:
"I've always been annoyed by pretty young girls, but when I saw Xiao Gao today, I felt like I was seeing an old friend I'd known for years. Don't you think that's strange?"

As he spoke, he walked up to Gao Qinghe, took her hand familiarly, and said, half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"I'm determined to acknowledge you as my sister today, or I'll definitely regret it when I get back!"

"Little Gao, please don't look down on me for being a rough person. I've always wanted a beautiful little sister since I was little, but unfortunately, the genes in my family aren't good enough, so there's nothing I can do about it."

After saying that, he glanced disdainfully at his two dark-skinned sons.

They look like their father and mother, respectively, and neither of them is good-looking!

Gao Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle softly. Yan Hong heard it but didn't care, only waiting expectantly for her response.

Gao Qinghe carefully examined the woman in front of her.

She wasn't very tall, but you could tell she had a good figure from the beginning; she was the kind of pretty and charming girl.

But years of hard work and social engagements have exhausted all her energy. She has gradually gained weight, her skin has become sallow and rough, and her eyes reveal an inescapable cunning and shrewdness.

Judging from his appearance, he is definitely not an easy person to get along with.

Yet, strangely enough, when this person looked at her, there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

In her past life, Gao Qinghe didn't care much about anyone; she was only focused on her own resentment.

To be honest, she was somewhat averse to Jiang Baohai's business partners.

Of course, as it turned out, none of them were good things.

They've either gone in or gone down.

But perhaps because they were both women, when Gao Qinghe saw Yan Hong again and noticed her deliberately rough makeup tonight, she actually felt a little tempted to look at her more closely.

"That would be my honor."

Gao Qinghe smiled and called Jiang Baohai over to be her and Yan Hong's witnesses.

Jiang Baohai was completely bewildered, having no idea what his wife was up to.

However, he never had the final say, so he simply gave his wife a doting look that said, "Whatever makes you happy, wife." The Cui and Yu families also came over to join in the fun.

"Then the younger sister should toast her older sister!" Old Cui urged.

Gao Qinghe nodded, "Right, I almost forgot!"

Yan Hong: No, no, no!

Gao Qinghe quickly asked Jiang Baohai to pour her a drink and offer it to Yan Hong.

"Sister Hong, I'm so grateful for your help with the car purchase last time. This first drink is to thank you on behalf of my friend."

He downed his drink in one gulp and then poured himself another.

"This second cup is purely out of admiration for you, sister. Cheers!"

Yan Hong knew it was a beverage, but she still couldn't help but smile and offer some words of advice.

Old Yu, standing nearby, joked, "Drinking beverages doesn't count; you have to drink to show respect. Have another one!"

Before Jiang Baohai could even turn his gaze away, Yan Hong glared at him with displeasure.

"All you men know is drinking! It tastes as awful as urine! She's pregnant, and if she gets sick from drinking, see if Boss Jiang will get what's coming to her!"

Jiang Baohai maintained a polite smile.

Old Yu knew he had gone too far, so he shut his mouth sheepishly and gave Gao Qinghe an embarrassed smile.

His wife glared at him, annoyed. "You get all excited just because someone else's wife is pretty, huh?"

Gao Qinghe and Yan Hong exchanged a glance. Yan Hong pursed her lips and whispered:

"He's a cowardly henpecked husband, don't take him seriously."

The two children were clamoring for cake, and Yan Hongcai remembered to ask Gao Qinghe:
"Whose birthday is it today? Why did they order a cake?"

Gao Qinghe smiled playfully, "It's not someone's birthday, it's to celebrate our first meeting and to commemorate it."

Yan Hong was surprised. "You young people are so romantic, huh?"

Seeing that the two children were practically drooling, Gao Qinghe gestured to the waiter to cut the cake and give one to the two children first.

Yan Hong's family could afford to buy decorated cream cakes for their child, but those small paper cups couldn't compare to a large cake.

We only buy one for birthdays, and the two brothers eat it twice a year, including each other's.

Even though they used the same ingredients, the two kids just thought the big cake tasted better.

Once all the dishes were served, Jiang Baohai invited everyone to sit down and chat while they ate.

Mrs. Cui took a newspaper out of her bag, the Provincial Capital Daily, from last month.

The photos of Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai visiting the workers occupied the largest space on the page, making Yan Hong and Lao Yu extremely envious.

Old Cui joked, "You two are quite famous now."

Jiang Baohai waved his hand, "It's alright, it's alright."

This prompted Lao Cui to keep making sarcastic remarks about him.

Gao Qinghe focused on eating her vegetables. She was hungry, and now she had to eat whenever she was hungry, otherwise she felt uncomfortable all over her body, as if ants were crawling on her.

After finishing their meal, they realized that Yan Hong's husband, Yu Long, seemed to have almost no presence in their lives.

After searching around, I finally found Yu Long sitting alone in the rest area of ​​the private room, watching his two sons eat.

He lost his left leg; the section below the knee was gone. He wore a plastic prosthesis, which was covered by long pants and was almost invisible.

The waiter placed a cake in front of Yan Hong, and Gao Qinghe gestured towards the rest area, but Yan Hong shook her head.

"Ignore him, let's eat."

Yu Long seemed to have heard the commotion, looked up, and then looked down again.

He seemed indifferent to whether his wife cared or not.

Gao Qinghe couldn't tell whether Yu Long was cheating or not; she just felt that Yan Hong and her husband seemed to be having some relationship problems.

However, it's their private matter, so let's mind our own business.

Continue to urge the guests to eat cake. (End of Chapter)
