I stood before Lu Yancheng, meeting his gaze that reflected admiration.
"I don't go back on my decisions. We have no ties, so let's not see each other again."
"Mai Ye, it was my fault before; I didn't prioritize you."
"It was my failure to understand my own heart, thinking that my greatest love was still your Sister."
"Since you left, I haven't had a single peaceful night."
"Siqing misses you too; when Grandma isn't paying attention, he looks at your photos and cries."
"In light of Qinghuan saving you, can we give this father-son relationship another chance?"
Lu Yancheng tried to appeal to my emotions with old feelings and reason.
Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated.
"Without mentioning the life-saving grace, I never intended to show you the truth."
Just look at how disgusting his white moonlight is!
I pulled out a video and opened it in front of Lu Yancheng.
The little punk who almost ruined my reputation got a good beating from Zhou Bailin as payback for past grievances.
To my surprise, I learned that the punk was Jiang Qinghuan's sycophant.
To avoid more beatings, he revealed everything about that year.
Jiang Qinghuan knew she was dying and understood that her sister was someone who knew how to repay kindness.
She didn't want another woman to take her husband or her son to be wasted, so she deliberately sent him and a few brothers to intimidate her sister.
"Make it realistic; otherwise, my sister won't believe it."
She had the punk corner me in an alley, and only after they took off their pants did she come to rescue me.
Fearing I wouldn't believe him, the sycophant handed over a locked notebook:
"Your Sister originally told me to burn this; I wanted to extort you a bit, so I held onto it until now."
This notebook recorded Jiang Qinghuan's growth and love history.
She was beautiful and intelligent, charming everyone, yet she had a broken body.
Mother Jiang nagged her daily, saying her sister took all the nutrients in the womb, causing her to be bedridden with illness.
Seeing Jiang Maiye, who was unloved but healthy, Jiang Qinghuan felt an immense sense of imbalance.
"Jiang Maiye, why did you have to be born?"
"You took away the love of my parents and robbed me of the healthy body I should have had."
I was bullied by my cousins at home, all instigated by Jiang Qinghuan. The old clothes she sent me had been mixed with hospital waste for days before she finally mailed them to me. My body is frail, yet my immunity is surprisingly strong. Jiang Qinghuan was furious.
Why was I able to walk calmly under the sun while she suffered through painful injections in the hospital? Upon learning that her time was limited, she sought to trap me in a lifetime of marriage and hatred. She knew that someone who had received little love would give everything for even a small amount of sweetness from others.
The dramatic scene of her entrusting her child at the end of her life would allow Lu Yancheng to see her reluctance as a new mother and show my parents her consideration for the bigger picture. Jiang Qinghuan grasped Lu Yancheng's hand and pleaded, "Husband, promise me. You will only have Siqing as your child for this lifetime, and I will ensure that my sister takes good care of him forever."
"Okay!"
If she truly wanted me to have a good life, why would she force Lu Yancheng to get a vasectomy? It was merely a matter of anticipating that someone would eventually become the next Mrs. Lu. To secure Lu Siqing's position as the legitimate heir, she reluctantly allowed me to take my place. Preserving the marriage between the Lu and Jiang families, everything in the future would be left to her son.
The truth is so ugly.
The comments exploded:
"Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I’ve been siding with that wicked woman and criticizing the female lead, Cuckoo Occupying the Magpie's Nest. I’m sorry!"
"I always said Jiang Qinghuan was morally coercive and ungrateful. But no one believed me, how frustrating!"
"Fortunately, the female lead Breaking Free's storyline shows that she wasn’t bound by her original family nor morally coerced; she stepped into a new life."
Lu Yancheng’s fingertips turned white as he held the diary. He never imagined that his gentle and understanding first wife harbored such a dirty heart.
"Mai Ye, it’s Qinghuan who has wronged you; I will seek justice for you."
Lu Yancheng abruptly severed all ties with the Jiang family as if he had been struck by lightning. My father's management skills had always been lacking.
The opportunistic CEO they hired had already run the company into the ground. In the past, the Lu Family had been there to prop things up, barely keeping it afloat. But once that support was cut off, the company was immediately on the brink of bankruptcy.
My father finally panicked and called me: "Mai Ye, is it because you refused to reconcile that you angered Yan Chen?"
"Get down on your knees and beg for his help! The family business can't end with your father!"
My mother, who rarely spoke softly from her wheelchair, said a few rare words: "As long as you can win Yan Chen back, I might consider letting Siqing call you 'Mom.'"
Tsk tsk. Who cares!
I found it amusing that they were so out of touch with reality. They had no idea I had grown into a rising queen in the investment world, nor did they know that Jiang Qinghuan's true identity had already been uncovered by her good son-in-law.
At the Jiang Family Old Residence, the couple sat quietly on the sofa. Suddenly, my father exploded: "It's all your fault! Knowing that Qinghuan doesn't have much time left and that there's only Mai Ye left, you still refuse to treat her better."
"Now she’s making enough money from her investments to support you for eight lifetimes."
My mother was furious: "She’s my daughter; what’s wrong with scolding her a bit?"
"Threatening her over the phone? If she earns money but doesn’t spend it on her biological parents, I’ll report her."
When my number was dialed, it showed that the phone had been disconnected. That’s right; I had blocked them for eight hundred years.
The old couple anticipated trouble at the company; Zhou Bailin had already foreseen it and had security drive them away from across the street.
Honestly, even if they did come to cause a scene, I wasn’t afraid. I had plenty of evidence of their abuse against me.
Before long, the Jiang Family went bankrupt. Mother Jiang couldn’t even afford medical bills, and the nanny fled without a trace.
Father Jiang was extremely proud and could not withstand humiliation; he died from carbon monoxide poisoning after burning charcoal all night. Mother Jiang, however, was resilient and survived, insisting that I send her to the best nursing home.
What a beautiful thought. I rented a single room in a village on the outskirts of the city and hired a fierce-looking hourly worker to feed her. I had no desire to do anything more than that.
Fate is a cycle. Parents hope for respect from their children, but they must first set a good example. Otherwise, children will follow suit and ultimately suffer the consequences.
After the diary incident, Lu Yancheng fell into despair, drowning his sorrows in alcohol every night. He persistently sent me messages, claiming he had been deceived by Jiang Qinghuan in the past and asking for another chance. It was exhausting. I blocked countless numbers of his.
Summer arrived. Zhou Bailin "forced" me to put down my work and drove me to the countryside. Under the moonlight, he held a bouquet of golden wheat and knelt before me on one knee:
"Mai Ye, there are countless grains of wheat in the world, but only you are my unique ear of grain."
In autumn frost, the grains are sown in the vast, desolate fields. Beneath the white snow blanket, they tell the myth of winter. They have endured rain, snow, wind, and frost, and have seen the vibrant spring sun. Just one seed can yield thousands of grains in the barn.
"Mai Ye, this is you!"
"Fearless of fate's harshness, always holding a grateful heart, like the wheat rooted beneath our feet, growing into a bountiful life."
"In my remaining years, I want to walk alongside you."
The movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" says: "Undoubtedly, good things will always come; when they arrive late, it is still a surprise."
With tears in my eyes, I accepted the ring and the ear of wheat.
There is a kind of love that can keep you from ever getting hurt. That is the love you give to yourself, time and time again. The bright moon shines, and the winds sweep across the vast fields. The golden waves of wheat roll endlessly.

I never imagined I would completely lose Mai Ye. After the divorce, she became vibrant and dazzling, transforming into a different kind of brilliance in this world. My former mother-in-law constantly called to harass me, urging me to hire a lawyer to accuse my little daughter of abandoning the elderly. I scoffed.
Every outcome has its cause. If she hadn't committed so many sins in her first twenty years, how could she end up with such a tragic old age? If I were to speak out, public opinion would drown the old lady in a flood of scorn.
As I watched Zhou Bailin's business thrive, envy crept into my heart. Little did I know that one wrong decision after another would lead my own company’s performance to plummet. My secretary, eyeing my vulnerability after a night of drinking, climbed into my bed. She had always treated Lu Siqing quite well.
On that basis, I married her. But I never expected Lu Siqing to be so resistant to my secretary, whom he referred to as Stepmother. In the past, he had scolded Jiang Maiye, claiming she was even worse than my secretary. Now that he had married her, he was being picky and choosy. Was it possible that his biological mother's genes weren't good enough?
Mai Ye gave birth to a pair of twins—a boy and a girl. How infuriating!
How could such good genes exist in this family?
I felt like a rat in the sewer, spying on their lives.
Mai Ye's investment acumen has improved remarkably; she is on her way to becoming the richest woman in A City.
In the past, I was short-sighted, thinking that a woman’s role was simply to raise children at home.
Even back then, she had reminded me of a great investment opportunity.
Thinking of this made my heart ache.
Outside, I could hear Lu Siqing and Stepmother arguing again.
Women can be so troublesome.
When she came into the family, she promised not to want anything, yet now she’s getting jealous over trivial matters involving the children.
Stubborn as she is, how could she leave when she loves the male lead so much? In the end, wouldn’t she still obediently stay behind to clean up the mess?
Oh no!
The sterilization report in the safe has been discovered.
My wife is insisting on a divorce, not wanting to spend her life being someone else's Stepmother.
I remembered when Mai Ye was around.
She didn’t know I had been sterilized.
I told her I didn’t want children and that we could discuss it when Siqing was older.
She looked somewhat sad but eventually fell asleep holding Siqing.
I truly am despicable for missing out on such a wonderful woman.
But unexpectedly, before the divorce, Lu Siqing stabbed Stepmother in the stomach.
He pointed at the rash on his body and shouted:
"You deliberately fed me something I'm allergic to! You want to kill me and steal Dad's fortune!"
The police investigated, and it turned out to be true.
One ended up hospitalized while the other went to a juvenile detention center.
Life has become a chaotic mess.
This is all my own doing.
