"Impossible, you're all lying to me. How could I possibly be inferior to Lin Weihong?"

"Zhiheng, take her away," Xia Guoan said wearily. Xia Zhiheng gestured to two police officers to arrest Yang Yunxian and take her back to the station.

"Zhiheng, please, let me go. I'll never do it again. Waaah... Sister, sister, I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to Lin Weihong."

Where is she? Should I apologize to her? All these years, I haven't been able to steal her man; please forgive me this once, okay?

"Yang Yunxian, do you even know that you killed Wei Hong? She fell seriously ill not long after returning from Kyoto. You have a life on your shoulders, and no one can save you now."

Yang Yunxia really wanted to crack open her cousin's head to see what she was thinking. Why couldn't she just enjoy her life instead of thinking about things that weren't hers?

"It's none of my business. I didn't want her to die; I just wanted her to back down."

Yang Yunxian felt no guilt, only regret that he hadn't been able to defeat Xia Guoan all these years.

"No matter what, you're the one who killed my mother."

"Yang Yunxian, the money you took from Wei Hong is enough to keep you in jail for the rest of your life."

"Sister, Zhiheng, Zhiqian, say something! Can you really bear to watch me go to jail?"

Seeing their silence, Yang Yunxian knew they didn't care whether she lived or died. She might as well smash the pot and reveal her true colors.

"Hahaha, Lin Weihong is dead, good riddance. If I can't have her, no one else can."

Everyone's face darkened when they heard Yang Yunxian's words; this woman had gone mad.

"You..." Lin's father was furious. He wanted to hit her, but seeing that she was a woman and her face was swollen from being hit by Xia's mother, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Xia Yichu walked over and kicked her, then grabbed her hair and pulled out a large clump of it.

"Ah... my hair."

Yang Yunxian screamed in pain repeatedly, her scalp tingling. No one present stopped Xia Yichu; they all thought she deserved it.

"Hahaha, even if you beat me to death, your mother won't come back to life. Xia Guoan didn't love your mother at all, and he's also responsible for her death. My imitation of your mother's handwriting is only about 60% accurate."

"If he were really looking, he would have figured it out. He might have already decided he didn't want to live with your mother anymore, but was only doing so because the Lin family had been kind to him. He's just using me to get rid of your mother."

Although Xia Guoan didn't think that way, it was indeed his carelessness that led to this series of events, and he lowered his head in remorse.

"You're talking nonsense. My second brother isn't that kind of person. He's focused on his work and doesn't have all those ulterior motives."

"Xia Guofang, didn't you tell me that Lin Weihong wasn't good enough for your second brother? You said it was good that she had self-awareness and took the initiative to break up with your second brother."

He also said that if she dared to come to the Xia family so brazenly, you should give her a good beating. He said she was only clinging to your second brother because he came from the capital.

"Guofang, did you really say that?"

"Yes, Mom, I did say that no one is good enough for my second brother. He's so outstanding..."

Mr. Lin looked displeased. Back then, suitors had worn out the threshold of his house. If it weren't for his sister refusing to like any of them and insisting on taking a fancy to Xia Guoan, that pretty boy.

He's a good-for-nothing who can't carry anything on his back or shoulders and has to rely on his sister for support. Yes, in Lin Weidong's eyes, Xia Guoan is a good-for-nothing; besides being good at studying, he's utterly useless.

"Guofang, stop talking. I'm not good enough for Weihong. I'm the one who wronged her. It's all my fault. If she hadn't met me, she would still be alive now."

She was the pampered daughter of the Lin family, who learned to cook, sew, and help him with farm work. Such a delicate person could do everything for him, and she was even better at farm work than he was.

"Second Brother"

"Guofang, your second brother is right. Our Xia family has wronged your second sister-in-law. You are not allowed to speak ill of your second sister-in-law in the future, or I will not forgive you."

"mom"

"Guofang, your mother is right."

"Dad, fine, I'm a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup. I won't concern myself with family matters anymore."

Xia Guofang stormed off, unable to understand why her parents were so protective of someone they had never even met.

"Xiao Chu, let's go."

Seeing that Xia Yichu's expression was not good, Lin Xingcheng wanted to take her back to the guesthouse to rest.

"Your mother came to my door with your photo all her heart, she must have envied me for having a son in my arms. If you were a son, your mother wouldn't have had to slink away like that."

"Xiao Chu, don't listen to her nonsense, I like you very much."

"Like him? Do you believe that? Even your mother doesn't like him, and you still expect him to like you? You're not a son, you can't carry on the family line, what use is a daughter like you?"

In her past life, Yang Yunxian often said these things to her. She brought disaster upon herself step by step, and in just a few months, the Xia family went from feeling guilty towards her to feeling disgusted.

The worst incident she remembered was when she almost caused Xia Zhiheng's death. She believed Yang Mengru and conspired with a group of thugs to lure Xia Zhiheng to a remote area. They then used the pretext of Xia Zhiheng's kidnapping to force him to rescue her alone.

When Xia Zhiheng arrived, the thugs immediately changed their attitude and grabbed both of them. They threatened Xia Guoan with their lives, trying to obtain the information he possessed.

Although Xia Zhiheng knew that Xia Yichu and others had tricked him into coming here, he still tried every means to find a chance for her to escape. After she escaped, Xia Zhiheng was also rescued, but his legs were broken, and he would be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Later she learned that the group of people were not thugs at all; they were spies who were after Xia Guoan.

"Xiao Chu, our Xia family doesn't discriminate against girls. In our eyes, you are the same as Zhi Heng and Zhi Qian," Grandma Xia explained eagerly.

Xia Yichu disagreed with this statement, and it wasn't that the Xia family favored sons over daughters. The difference between her granddaughter, who had grown up by her side and her granddaughter whom she had only known for half a day, was obvious.

In her previous life, after Xia Zhiheng's legs were broken, she was driven away by Yang Yunxia. Her grandparents gave her some money and told her to go back to her maternal uncle's house.

She barely had time to enjoy the money before Chen Shaoping took it from her, claiming that renting a place near the school was too expensive. He said he wanted to buy a house near the school, and the house would be registered in Chen Shaoping's name. Then she started working to earn money for Chen Shaoping again, and not long after, Xiao Cheng got into trouble.

She was at her wit's end and wanted to go back to Xia Guoan for help, but Xia Guoan wasn't in Kyoto. She could only go to Xia Guoan's parents. Yang Yunxia, ​​having somehow found out, rushed over and berated Xia Yichu as a jinx.

Not only did she harm her son, but she also tried to harm the Xia family. Xia Yichu was scolded and ran away, even declaring on the spot that she would never set foot in the Xia family again. Xia Yichu went back to Chen Shaoping for help, but Chen Shaoping said that Lin Xingcheng was a murderer and warned her not to interfere, telling her to stay away.

Anyway, he used a combination of coaxing and threats, threatening Xia Yichu to break up with him because she was afraid Chen Shaoping wouldn't want her anymore. In the end, she really didn't care and didn't dare to ask any questions.

"Yang Yunxian, stop trying to sow discord. I came to Kyoto only to find Xia Guoan and ask him what happened when my mother came to Kyoto back then. I never thought about acknowledging him. I've grown up and I'm past the age where I need a father."

No, she wanted to acknowledge Xia Guoan. Xia Guoan owed the Lin family a debt of gratitude that he had to repay. Xiao Cheng needed him. Things were different now than in her previous life, and she was still afraid something might happen to Xiao Cheng.

"Hahaha, you only say that because you know Xia Guoan only has you as his daughter! No wonder you're from the Xia family, just as hypocritical and pretentious as them."

Xia Zhiheng had Yang Yunxian taken away, and some people were already watching the commotion.

"Xia Zhiheng, you'll die a horrible death! I'm your aunt, how dare you have me arrested? Your father died when you were little, and your mother was too busy to take care of you. I was the one who cooked for you, put you to bed..."

Yang Yunxian started cursing loudly, his voice growing fainter and fainter until it could no longer be heard.
