“Buzz~~”
Seeing the empty living room, his mind was buzzing. Still unwilling to give up, he dashed straight into the bedroom.
Yang Xiulan had just reached the living room doorway when she saw it empty. Disbelief was written all over her face.
“No—how could this happen?”
She was about to run into the bedroom when she heard Liang Weijun’s voice inside, completely broken.
“It’s over~~ everything is over~~”
“My life is finished. Everything is gone—even the account book has been stolen.”
“Buzz~~”
Hearing this, Yang Xiulan felt her head spinning. After a long moment, she realized the truth.
This man was probably finished. What about the child in her belly?
She lifted her right hand to her stomach. The reason she had followed this man in the first place was because he had money and was willing to entrust two-thirds of it to her.
But now, this man had nothing left, and the account book was gone. He would soon be caught.
Wouldn’t she be doomed along with him? Thinking this, she didn’t linger and ran outside.
“I absolutely cannot follow this man anymore. It’s not my fault for being heartless—he’s just unlucky.”
In the bedroom, Liang Weijun sat dejectedly on the floor, replaying in his mind all the enemies who might have targeted him. He couldn’t understand how it had come to this. He thought for a long time but found no answer.
“This—it’s over~~ over~~”
“I don’t want to be sent to the cattle pens, I don’t want to be sent to the fields, and I definitely don’t want to eat peanuts.”
“What should I do?”
After some time, he remembered what Yang Xiulan had said earlier—she had something to tell him.
He slowly got up and walked toward the living room, only to find it empty and the courtyard gate wide open.
Liang Weijun understood immediately: this vain, opportunistic woman knew he was finished, so she had fled in advance.
“Of course! Lovers are never reliable. I can only hope that the person who stole my things is just a thief, not someone stronger than me.”
Though he knew it was wishful thinking, he still hoped it was true.
That night, he didn’t return home. With everything gone, he didn’t know how to face his family.
Meanwhile, Yun Youyou, who had just emerged from the space, looked at the Yun family of four in the main hall.
After thinking for a long time, she decided it was best to sever ties with the Yun family quickly, so she could handle the rest of her plans.
Both the Yun family and the Liang family had to be reported, otherwise she couldn’t live with herself.
After making her decision, she slipped into the space, picked a villa at random, went to the master bedroom to freshen up, and then lay down to sleep.
The next morning, Yun Youyou woke up in the space. After washing up, she went to the dining table in the living room.
With a wave of her hand, a bowl of fresh shrimp porridge, a portion of lazy dumplings, and a hand-grabbed pancake appeared on the table.
Sipping the shrimp porridge and eating the pancake, Yun Youyou planned: once she went out, she would beat them, sever ties, and report both families.
“The Yun family will at most be sent away.”
“The Liang family? At minimum, sent away; at worst… eat peanuts. But that only applies to Liang Weijun and his wife.”
After finishing breakfast, Yun Youyou leisurely left the space.
In the main hall, Yun Youyou saw that the four members of the Yun family were still asleep. She sprinkled some antidote, and the family slowly woke up.
The first to wake was Yun Aiguo. Opening his eyes, he saw Yun Youyou staring straight at him.
He shivered violently, and the pain coursed through his body again.
“Ugh~~ it really hurts!”
“Youyou, the house has really been emptied. Please spare us!”
“We’re willing to sever ties with you. From now on, we won’t trouble you anymore.”
Just waking up, Zhou Miaomiao also heard her husband’s words. Ignoring the pain in her neck, she hurriedly stood before him, looking up at Yun Youyou.
“Yes! Youyou, we’ve done so many wrongs, behaved so badly. We even raised you and supported your education…”
She couldn’t continue. All of her family’s living expenses had been covered with Yun Youyou’s parents’ money.
Moreover, Yun Youyou knew all their plans.
Yun Youyou calmly observed the shameless couple before her.
“Why did you stop talking? Face? I’ve seen shameless people, but never as shameless as you.”
“You used my biological parents’ money to make me serve your family, and even wanted your daughter Li to impersonate me and meet my real parents in my place!”
The angrier she got, the narrower her eyes became, her killing intent glaring. She scolded sharply:
“Even a city wall’s corner isn’t as thick as your faces!”
“You want to die? Fine—I’ll indulge you because I’ve known you for so many years.”
The just-awakened Yun Zhenguo and Yun Youran also heard her words.
“Buzz~~”
Their heads buzzed, only one phrase echoing: “You want to die? You want to die?”
The siblings were so scared they forgot the pain in their bodies. Seeing Yun Youyou still wanted to kill their family, Yun Aiguo was terrified, but he knew he must stay calm.
Suddenly, he thought of a reason. “Youyou, if you kill our family, you’ll be caught and forced to eat peanuts too. Not worth it!”
“Better to sever ties with us! Even if you kill us, you won’t get the money.”
Yun Youyou, standing aside, nodded. “Hmm, what you said makes sense.”
Seeing the mother-and-father duo finally nod, Yun Aiguo and his wife breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Zhenguo and his sister also relaxed, but silently vowed that they would find a way to get rid of Yun Youyou in the future.
Yun Youyou wasn’t foolish—she knew their schemes. She pulled out a small bottle from her pocket.
She poured four pills and looked at the family of four.
“If you want me to spare you, it’s not impossible.”
“Take this poison. Each month, if you behave, I will give you the antidote.”
Hearing that she must take the poison to be spared, Yun Aiguo and his wife showed refusal on their faces.
“No~~ don’t~~”
“Youyou~~ please spare us!”
Yun Zhenguo and his sister also pleaded anxiously, “Third sister, we were wrong. Please spare us!”
But Yun Youyou remained unmoved, staring coldly at them.
“Have you decided? Take the poison, or I send you to meet your great-grandmother right now.”
