Yu Shuosheng felt he had suffered an extraordinary humiliation. As Wan Rongjuan came over to support him, he glared viciously at Xinyan, "Mom was right, youâre just an ungrateful wretch."
Xinyan sneered at them, "Stop flattering yourselves. Go back and ask those two elders, what money was used to build your familyâs house? Stop bothering me, or youâll bear the consequences."
After speaking, she pulled He Jinxuan back into the courtyard and slammed the door shut.

In the hospital, upon learning what happened after Xinyan went to the Mechanical Factory, Han Jingchenâs eyes burned with anger. She could have grown up carefree, yet she had gone through so much.
Thank goodness his daughter had left that man, or he didnât know what he might have done.
But thinking about it, his daughter was in a relationship and took her partner back to Yilan County, his heart felt uneasy, "Jingsong, get discharged, book the earliest ticket back to Harbin, weâre going to Yilan County."
Su Jingsong expressed some concern, "Mr. Han, maybe you should listen to the doctor and rest a few more days before leaving. What if we return to Yilan County and Xinyan comes back here, weâll miss her again."
Han Jingchen shook his head, "No more waiting, even if we miss her, there will always be a time to catch up."
Right now, he just wanted to stand by his daughterâs side and tell everyone that his daughter had him as her backbone, her real father, and no one should think they can bully her anymore.
Most importantly, having just found his daughter, he couldnât let that man easily take her away.
In the end, unable to persuade him otherwise, Zhang Libing had no choice but to go buy the tickets. After all, taking the train means they could buy sleeper tickets, while taking a bus wouldnât allow for proper rest.
Before leaving, he instructed Su Jingsong to handle a few things.
The result was that the Qiu Family and Lyu Juncheng had no future at the Mechanical Factory, and the Yao Family was also implicated, but thatâs a later story.
This incident scared the life out of the therapist accompanying Han Jingchen, insisting on staying by the side of the chief not leaving him even for a moment. When the person came back with the tickets, he immediately asked if a ticket had been bought for him.
Everyone was amused.

The three returned to the village like defeated roosters, ignoring the other villagers as they made their way home focused solely on getting back.
Yuâs mother had been waiting outside the gate, picking string beans while waiting for their return.
Seeing the three approaching, she quickly stood up, "So, did you see her?"
Yu Erlili couldnât hold it in first, "Mom, why didnât you and Dad tell us you signed a breakup letter with Yu Xinyan?"
Yuâs mother felt a bit awkward, "Whatâs the use of that thing? Itâs just a piece of paper."
Afraid of losing face, Yu Shuosheng went straight into the courtyard, seeing his dad come out of the main room, "Dad, why did you sign a breakup letter and still make us go find her?"
Yuâs father noticed something was wrong with the returning group, "What happened?"
Yu Erlili broke into tears, "That bitch Yu Xinyan hit me and Second Sister-in-law, and there was a man in the Zhang Familyâs courtyard, probably Yu Xinyanâs lover, who almost strangled Second Brother."
Yuâs mother, upon hearing this, was beside herself, "What did you say, how dare they?
No way, Iâm not done with her."
This time, Yu Shuosheng was truly angry, "Enough, Mom, just cool it."
He then looked at Yuâs father, "That man told me to deliver a message, saying âif you canât live, then donât live anymore.â
He stopped here, unable to say what came next. Yu Erlili, seeing her second brother fall silent, angrily demanded, "Second Brother, what about the rest? Why arenât you saying it?"
Yuâs mother was already infuriated by the previous words and, hearing her younger daughterâs remark, directly asked, "What else did he say?"
Holding the anger inside, Yu Erlili blurted out without fearing to upset her parents, "He also said, âstop acting like a beggar all day, donât lose face completely.â"
Upon hearing this, Yuâs fatherâs expression was terrifying.
Having lived together for decades, Yuâs mother was frightened by her husbandâs expression, "Old man, are you okay? Letâs not listen to their nonsense, donât upset yourself."
Yu Erlili also realized what sheâd done as her father was most concerned about face; it was no wonder he was angry.
Knowing she had made a mistake, she quickly stepped forward to support him, "Dad, donât be angry. If she doesnât want to come back, let it be, consider it like we raised her for nothing."
But as she spoke, she remembered Xinyanâs parting words and couldnât hold back, asking bluntly, "Where did the money for our house come from?"
Yuâs father was most unwilling to let anyone know where the money for building the house came from. Having been concerned about face his entire life, hearing his daughterâs question, he angrily shouted, "Get out."
