Going back to being twenty, taking her heartbroken son to a massage parlor.

Chapter 239 I Received My Punishment

Jiang Yazhen was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

All she could do was sob.

"Sis, I didn't mean for things to turn out this way..."

Jiang Yazhen slumped down on the meadow.

The morning dew dampened her nightgown.

The coolness seeped into the bones through the skin.

Memories flashed through my mind.

All those details she had deliberately forgotten and dared not face came to light.

In the past, when Su Mu came home from get off work, he would bring her her favorite little cake.

I will massage her shoulders and legs.

He would stay by her bedside all night when she was sick. But what about her?

She disliked Su Mu for his lack of ambition and for not earning enough money.

She complained that he wasn't romantic and that he didn't provide her with emotional support.

"Sis, I didn't mean for things to turn out this way..."

Jiang Yazhen wiped away her tears, her sobs growing louder and louder.

Snot and tears mixed together, ruining my makeup.

"I really never imagined I would end up like this."

"It's all because society is too superficial these days."

Jiang Yazhen began to make excuses for herself.

She pointed to the group of her best friends huddled together behind her.

"They brainwash me every day."

"Posting those toxic motivational quotes in the group chat." "Indoctrinating me that women should live for themselves."

"They say that if a man doesn't spend money on a woman, it means he doesn't love her."

"They even said that women don't need to do housework after marriage."

"Women who do housework are the most demeaning."

"A best friend is always more reliable than a husband."

Jiang Yazhen became more and more excited as she spoke.

She uprooted the weeds in her hand.

"I must have been out of my mind to believe their nonsense."

"I thought that after the divorce, I could finally live my own life."

"I can be the leading lady."

"It's all their fault!"

"They're the ones who led me astray!" "If they hadn't been encouraging me every day, I wouldn't have gotten involved in any honey trap scams."

Xia Yiyi rolled her eyes as she listened from behind.

She wanted to argue, but Liao Yaqin grabbed the corner of her clothes.

......

Jiang Yiyao stood on a high place.

Looking down at his hopeless younger sister.

She shook her head.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind.

Don't shift the blame to others.

"It's not their fault."

"You only have yourself to blame."

"You're just a selfish woman who only knows how to take and never knows how to give." Jiang Yiyao took a half step back, widening the distance between them.

The disappointment in his eyes had turned into indifference.

"You are greedy, yet you lack the strength to match it."

"You enjoy the stable life that Su Mu provides for you, but you also yearn for the exciting world outside."

"You mistook Su Mu's tolerance for weakness."

"They take his efforts for granted."

"I'm not here today specifically to see you and catch up."

"I'm here to inform you."

"Su Mu and I will never see you again in this lifetime."

"You can stay here outside Jiangcheng forever."

"Reflect on your actions over the past ten years or so."

Jiang Yazhen completely panicked. She crawled over on all fours.

Ignoring the dirt on my fingers.

He grabbed Jiang Yiyao's skirt.

He gripped it tightly, using all his strength.

"don't want!"

"Sister, no!"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Jiang Yazhen was filled with remorse.

If only I could be a decent wife.

Even if it's just about living a peaceful and law-abiding life.

When sisters meet, things shouldn't turn out like this.

"Sister, please don't go, okay?" she pleaded, looking up at him.

"My son and daughter aren't close to me anymore."

"They wouldn't even look at me."

"Su Mu doesn't want me anymore either."

"He threw all my things away."

"I have nothing left now."

"You can't abandon me too."

Jiang Yazhen cried her heart out.

She was really scared.

Without Su Mu, there is no sister.

She doesn't even know who she is anymore.

Jiang Yiyao forcefully shook off Jiang Yazhen's hand. The movement was swift and decisive.

There was not a single unnecessary delay.

"If you dare to bully my husband, don't expect me to forgive you."

She pointed to the group of stunned women beside her.

Xia Yiyi, Guo Rong, Liao Yaqin.

"And you all."

Goodbye, my former sisters.

Jiang Yiyao turned and left.

Never looking back.

He walked down the hillside, his back straight and tall.

This was the punishment she and Su Mu had agreed upon.

The most agonizing thing is never physical pain, but the torment of the mind.

This will prevent Jiang Yazhen from ever seeing the two people she loves most in her life.

This punishment is enough for her to suffer for the rest of her life.

She will spend the rest of her life in endless regret.

Jiang Yazhen lay on the grass, wailing loudly.

The sound of crying echoed through the empty mountains and fields.

But he couldn't earn anyone's sympathy.

She once had a perfect family.

A loving husband and two lovely children.

But she destroyed it all with her own hands.

In pursuit of so-called freedom, for vanity.

She trampled the most precious things underfoot. Now, karma has caught up with her.

She became all alone.

They were abandoned in this desolate wilderness.

......

The camera on the RV was flashing a red light.

The scene of the real and fake Jiang Yiyao confronting each other was fully recorded.

The data was quickly transmitted to two locations via the network.

On the other side of Jiangcheng.

The Liao Family Mansion.

Great-grandmother Liao Feiyue had just gotten up.

She was wearing a silk nightgown and sitting in a mahogany armchair.

The maid brought out freshly brewed morning tea, then she had to attend to clan affairs. She habitually picked up her phone and opened the monitoring app.

The image on the screen made her teacup stop in mid-air.

Tea splashed on the back of her hand, but she didn't even wipe it off.

"So that's how it is."

Liao Feiyue stared at Jiang Yiyao on the screen.

The surprise in his eyes slowly turned into understanding.

"So you were the real Jiang Yiyao all along."

"Hey, how did you get so weak?"

"It turns out that the one I was fighting against was a fake all along."

Liao Feiyue put down her teacup and leaned back in her chair.

My fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Okay..." "More than ten years have passed."

"I'm not the same little mute girl who was bullied by everyone anymore."

She raised her hand and placed it on her flat stomach.

New life is being nurtured here.

She is pregnant.

This is her biggest trump card.

It was also her bargaining chip in winning this war.

Ten years ago, she was mute and could only be bullied by others.

Ten years later, she became the head of the Liao family.

They hold the economic lifeline of the entire Jiangcheng in their hands.

"Now my capital is above yours."

Liao Feiyue turned to look at the door. "Uncle Liao!"

The old butler strode in.

"Great-Grandma, what can I do for you?"

"Prepare the car."

"Let's go to Great-Grandpa's place now."

The old butler was taken aback.

"Great-Grandma, you have several meetings to attend today."

"The development project in the East District is still waiting for your signature."

Liao Feiyue waved her hand.

"Cancel them all."

"Nothing is more important than seeing your great-grandfather."

"Only I can be by Su Mu's side." At the same time.

Downtown Science and Technology Park.

The morning news is playing on a loop on the big screen.

The female host's voice was clear and articulate.

"Xia Qingwu, a rising star in Jiangcheng's science and technology sector, has developed the Muqing series of small particle colliders."

"Its performance is comparable to that of the Large Hadron Collider."

"It only needs the size of a football field to achieve its full potential."

"Compared to previous particle colliders that were tens of kilometers in circumference and cost hundreds of billions of dollars."

"Performance is improved by hundreds of times, and the cost is only a few hundred million."

"This is a major milestone for the scientific community."

"It can help scientists around the world better observe the microscopic world."

"It is hoped that the scientific community, which has been stagnant for a century, will develop new achievements." "Therefore, the scientific community specially crowned Xia Qingwu as an academician."

The news footage showed the futuristic-looking machine.

Silver-white metal casing with a streamlined design.

In the studio.

Xia Qingwu was wearing a crisp uniform.

Outlining a perfect curve.

She is sitting on the sofa giving a media interview.

The spotlight shone on her, making her radiant.

Just then, the phone screen on the coffee table lit up.

A special notification sound plays.

Xia Qingwu picked up her phone.

A red warning popped up on the screen from Qingwu AI: "Anomalies detected in Su Mu."

"Based on the analysis of the surveillance video, we have concluded that the real Jiang Yiyao has appeared."
