The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 461: Extra 12_2

Xu Li also had only a daughter, and life was a constant chaos every day. Eventually, unable to bear it any longer, she took her child and went back to her parents’ home.

She stopped going to the Cultural Work Troupe and started to learn how to do business on her own.

Selling clothes at Fish Tail Street Market, Xu Li was shrewd and eloquent, so her business did very well. Within two years, she had saved some money and, through Aunt Cuihua’s inquiries,

she bought a set of rooms in the newly-built family courtyard of the machinery factory near Fish Tail Street Market.

Somehow, her mother-in-law got wind of this and came to live with them by force.

Latter on, there were countless fights between Aunt Cuihua and Xu Li’s mother-in-law; during that time, there was hardly anyone in the entire family courtyard who didn’t know about the Xu Family’s affairs.

Aunt Cuihua used to love gossiping, but now, her daughter had become the target of the same kind of gossip she had once dished out.

Xu Li’s troubles were the talk of the compound for at least half a year.

Of course, in the end, Aunt Cuihua managed to help her daughter get a divorce and take back the house.

She lived quite well with her daughter by her side.

In those years when business was good and stock was plentiful, she became Xia Lin’s agent in this area.

Xia Lin was low-key; in West City, there was only Xu Li’s place. She never expanded to other locations.

It might have been to avoid them or perhaps to avoid Gao Shu and the child.

Anyhow, she never came back.

Actually, Xia Lin hadn’t had an easy time over the years.

After all, she and Qi Anmin were in their second marriage; they had conceived once, but Qi Anmin’s two children were no easy characters. After being pushed by them once, the child she carried was lost in a serious fall, tumbling straight from the second floor to the ground below. The five-month-old fetus was gone, and she was injured as well, never conceiving again after that incident.

The children were grown now and knew how to manipulate their father to their own benefit.

Xia Lin was smart and never coveted Qi Anmin’s wealth.

What she valued were the resources that Qi Anmin provided her.

Regrettably, the two children were clever and felt that everything she had came from their father, so they always wanted a share of the profits from the factory.

Naturally, Xia Lin was not willing to comply. She could be generous with them, but when it came to dominating her factory, that was absolutely out of the question.

So, over the years, there had been frequent conflicts between Xia Lin and the two children, with Qi Anmin trapped in the middle, in a difficult situation.

Constant depression can easily lead to illness, and Qi Anmin had passed away a year ago.

However, Xia Lin was smart and managed to handle the divorce proceedings just as Qi Anmin was on his deathbed.

Xia Lin didn’t shortchange his two children either, giving each one a million.

She thought that getting rid of these two debt collectors would bring her some peace.

But then, another devil came knocking at her door—one that fell from her own womb, the kind that was impossible to shake off no matter how hard she tried.

What’s more, the other two, with a million each, still didn’t want to break ties and kept pestering her.

Recently, Xia Lin was troubled by these three youngsters.

Before long, she fell ill, though it wasn’t anything serious, just a benign tumor in her stomach.

But she had experienced this scenario in her previous life.

Back then, her two sons even took advantage of her hospitalization and secretly acquired contraband drugs intending to poison their biological mother.

Heh, in this life, how could she let them poison her again.

She covertly hired an assistant to secretly record the scene of her own sons attempting to poison their mother and then she reported it to the police.

When Gao Shu found out that her son had been denounced by his own mother, it was already two months later.

Gao Qing said Xia Lin wouldn’t agree to sign the settlement, determined to see her son in jail.

Because of this, Gao Qing had a public argument with Gao Shu.

"Heh, I’ve never seen such a cruel mother, nor such a cruel son. They truly deserve each other, being mother and son. It serves her right to suffer. Gao Shu is the same, neglecting the child when he’s small, and when he’s grown and set in his ways, how can he control him? Now he regrets it. My father is sending Zhengran and Fourth Brother over, to bring Gao Shu back first."

Yes, it was Wu Zhengran. Two years after her divorce, Gao Qing and he got together.

The following year, Gao Qing bore Wu Zhengran a big, healthy boy, who’s about to enter high school now.

Among their circle of close friends, only their child was the youngest. After going through a marriage, Gao Qing had come to understand many things—a man’s good looks do not necessarily make for a good husband. What matters in a husband is someone who treats you well, is responsible, and takes care of the family.

The Gao Family knew somewhat of Wu Zhengran, a high school classmate who had been pursuing Gao Qing since high school and had remained single all this time, waiting for their daughter. Now that their daughter was into her second marriage, what more could they want in such a good son-in-law difficult to find even with a lantern.

On the other hand, the Wu Family was somewhat displeased that their son married a divorcee, but since he only wanted her and had been unmarried for so many years, they were quite worried too. It wasn’t like they hadn’t tried to find him a match before; if it wasn’t outright refusal from their son, it was mere absence of enthusiasm, with the attempts always thwarted by him.

This time it was he who proposed marriage. Although a second marriage didn’t sound great, opposing it would only make their son more reluctant to find another partner, and their Wu Family might face the extinction of their lineage. So, they had no choice but to agree in the end.

As for Gao Qing, she was a catch beyond their family’s reach.

The two were married with the blessings of both families and, after marriage, lived in the residential building of the printing factory.

Gao Qing didn’t want to get involved in Gao Shu’s troubles. The way Xia Lin had framed her in those years was something she could never get over in this lifetime.

Nevertheless, her father couldn’t bear to see his nephew suffer. freeweɓnøvel.com

"Anyways, it’s certain that Gao Yi An will end up in jail because of his mother, the evidence is clear, and there’s no way we can save him. Let him get a few years in to learn a lesson," he said.

Lu Jingqiu thought to herself that it’s just one for now, she was lucky the other one wasn’t born, or else, Gao Shu and Xia Lin would really have a lot to deal with.

She suddenly understood why Xia Lin had always hesitated to have children; perhaps in her previous life, Xia Lin had been treated the same way by her ungrateful sons.

Heh, it seems that after she left, neither Xia Lin nor Gao Shu had a particularly good life.
