Eve sneered, her face mocking. “Keep up your silly dreams. Everything you enjoyed in the company is given because the higher-ups are giving face to Li Shaoling. You are the one who threw that all away, who shamelessly hooked up with Jiang Zhuonan. Everything that happened today was your own fault! You had been dealt such a good hand but messed it all up, so who could you blame? Now take that ten million when it’s still on the table and leave, or you’ll end up worse when the company puts you on ice!”
With that, Eve turned and left while Ji Jianing fell to the floor, crying in disbelief that her acting career was over.
She never expected that the big present Li Shaoling gave her was to have a new star like her fall.
However, she suddenly paused between her sobs, whipped out her phone and dialed a number.
“Hello.”
Once the person on the other end spoke, Ji Jianing wailed. “Grandma... save me...”
“Don’t call me ever again!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe call was hung up without hesitation.
Ji Jianing stared at the phone screen, her tears pausing right then as her fingers tightened over her phone.
Her face was frighteningly fierce.
‘I would have been the young mistress of the Li family if not for you, Ji Weixi!
‘Why don’t you just die!’

The Li family residence.
“Hang up if she calls again.” Old Madam Li closed her eyes, breathed in her oxygen mask and wheezed for a moment before continuing. “To think I treated her like a granddaughter-in-law before! She just made Shaoling the laughing stock in all of River Town!”
Wilson hesitated for a moment before saying, “Madam, there’s something I’m not sure I should say.”
“Speak.”
“Actually,” the butler said calmly, “it’s not a bad thing for Young Master to be with Ji Weixi.”
At those very words, Old Madam Li’s eyes bulged as she glared at him. “That woman hurt him so terribly in the past, and you would give them your blessing? Wilson, you’ve served me for years and I thought that you saw things clearly, which is why I always left everything to you. But even you have gone senile too?!”
“Madam, that’s a long time ago and you mustn’t confuse one thing with another,” Wilson advised earnestly. “Ji Weixi was definitely why Young Master was caught in the accident, but you know very well why he left at the time. Moreover, he would always choose her if given the choice. Madam, it’s fate!”
Old Madam Li slowly calmed and she sighed, her eyes damp as she recalled a distant memory. “Shaoling’s has suffered much. All I did is in his best interest... He can be with any woman, but not Ji Weixi because he would wish he was dead if he remembers. As his grandmother, I cannot allow it.”
Wilson smiled. “Madam, have you forgotten? They have a child together.”
Old Madam Li’s eyes tightened. She closed her eyes and muttered, “Such ill fate...”
“Please rest, Madam. I shall take my leave.”
As Wilson closed the door, his eyes became distant as he looked upon the long and dark corridor.
It was indeed a past no one wished to remember.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was evening and time to leave work.
Tian Miaomiao waved goodbye at Ji Weixi. “I’m off, Xixi.”
“Mommy, aren’t we waiting for Daddy?” The little one watched as Ji Weixi tidied things up.
She remembered today’s morning just then: kicking Li Shaoling off the bed, crashing into his chin and embarrassing him during the meeting...
Would a petty man like him show mercy?
Ji Weixi simply tousled the little one’s hair. “No. We’re leaving first.”
The little one pouted. “Okay...”
When everything was in order, Ji Weixi led him out of the office.
However, as soon as she locked the door, the little one abruptly held his own stomach, his face tightening. “Oh no, my tummy hurts... Mommy, I need the toilet! Wait for me, I’ll be back soon!”
Ji Weixi shook her head helplessly as he scampered away on his tiny feet.
The little one dashed as quickly as he could to the toilet, looked around him for a moment before calling a number on his phone.
Holding his little hand over his mouth, he whispered panickily, “Daddy, Mommy’s running away! Hurry!”
