"Good!" Ye Yun put on a struggling expression. "You got lucky, but I want cash!"
He wanted cash mainly to avoid a record.
He wouldn't forget how, in his previous life, these girls had exposed these matters online.
A group of keyboard warriors had attacked, directly doxxing the scalper.
They forced the scalper to refund all the money he had made.
These girls quickly pooled together 100,000 yuan nearby and gave it all to Ye Yun.
After getting the tickets, they happily went in to enjoy the music festival.
If the middle-aged man from before hadn't left early, seeing Ye Yun sell tickets worth 2,800 yuan for 100,000 would have made him so angry he'd spit blood.
Seeing the 100,000 yuan in his hand, Ye Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, this money could solve his immediate problem.
By the time Ye Yun returned to the vicinity of his rental apartment, it was already almost eight in the evening.
Ye Yun ordered a 6-yuan fried egg rice at a roadside stall, and as he ate, tears welled up.
"I'm back, I'm finally back. Mengyao, believe me, I will make you the happiest woman in the world!"
"Having been reborn, the previous Ye Yun is already dead!"
"Tomorrow, I will go to the antique market. I will not miss that major treasure hunt!"
...
At the same time, in a 90-square-meter apartment in the southern part of Jinling.
"Mengyao, why haven't you divorced that loser?"
Wu Lan looked at Li Mengyao displeasedly.
"Mom, he'll sign in a month." Li Mengyao gritted her teeth.
Even she didn't know why she had agreed to Ye Yun's request back then.
"In a month?" Wu Lan's voice rose an octave. "Didn't we agree he'd sign for the divorce today? Why wait another month! If you're not divorced yet, tomorrow's blind date..."
"Wu Yun!" Li Zengguo, who was beside her, quickly interrupted.
"Why are you stopping me!" Wu Lan shoved Li's father's outstretched hand away. "If she doesn't marry Boss Sun, how can we enjoy our retirement? How can Menghao get a wife?"
"It's all your fault, you useless old man. If you weren't so incompetent, would I have to live like this with you every day?"
Wu Lan had long been fed up with Ye Yun. Her beautiful daughter, when young, had attracted the attention of many rich second-generation heirs.
She had pinned her hopes on her son's betrothal gifts and her future on her future son-in-law.
But who would have thought her eldest daughter would fall for a loser like Ye Yun, shattering her dreams?
This was why she had been constantly instigating Li Mengyao to divorce Ye Yun.
That Boss Sun was, naturally, her next chosen candidate.
He was a middle-aged, bald, rich businessman, 168 cm tall and weighing 200 jin.
"Mom!" Li Mengyao cried out in despair. "You want me to marry Sun Youcai? Do you know that Sun Youcai is notoriously perverted? Doesn't everyone know that his previous wife was beaten to death by him? If you send me there, are you trying to kill me?"
"Wasn't that a mistake Boss Sun made when he was young? He'll be even better to his next wife because of it!" Wu Lan retorted immediately. "Boss Sun said that if you are willing to marry him, he will give 1 million yuan as a betrothal gift!"
This shrewish outburst made Ke Ke laugh and cry.
"Grandma is bad, boo hoo hoo, grandma is bad, I want Daddy, I want Daddy!"
"You little bastard, you want your daddy? Your daddy is already dead! I'll send you to the orphanage later!" Wu Lan cursed angrily.
"Mom, Ke Ke is just a child, do you think it's appropriate to say that?"
Li Mengyao walked over, picked up Ke Ke, and replied.
"What's inappropriate about it? That loser's bastard should have been drowned when he was born! If you hadn't insisted on marrying that loser back then, would we be in this situation now?"
"Meng Hao can't afford a wife now and is so angry that he moved out to live on his own. It's so late, and Meng Han is still out working! And look at you, you just freeload here with me!"
"Li Mengyao, I won't hide it from you, I've already received 100,000 yuan from Boss Sun as a referral fee. Either you obediently divorce that loser and marry Boss Sun, or you get out of here forever, and I'll pretend I never gave birth to you!"
"One adult and one cheap brat, wanting to drain my coffin money to raise you? Hmph, I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
Once Wu Lan's shrewish temper flared up, no one could stop her.
She completely ignored Li Mengyao, who was now in tears.
"Mengyao, your mother's words are a bit harsh, but there's some truth to them," Li Zengguo also said, trying to persuade her. "If you hadn't been deceived by that loser back then, you would have married into a good family long ago, and our whole family would be rich and prosperous."
"Yes, it's good that you know to come back to your mother's home when you're wronged, but we have to feed two extra mouths, don't we?"
"Why doesn't Xiao Wu fancy Meng Hao? Isn't it because our family has no money?"
"Be good, listen to Dad. Don't worry about that burden, get divorced tomorrow, send the burden to the orphanage, and happily marry Boss Sun to become a young madam."
The couple played good cop and bad cop.
"Dad, Mom!" Li Mengyao, tears streaming down her face, bit her lip, hugged Ye Ke Ke, and said, "I'll take Ke Ke with me now, and I'll come back to pack my things tomorrow!"
Wiping away her tears, Li Mengyao felt despair welling up within her.
What bad karma had she accumulated in this life!
She thought she had found true love and married Ye Yun against her parents' wishes.
But he turned out to be a lazy good-for-nothing who gambled, drank, and womanized. When she was bullied and returned to her parents' home, she was not welcomed at all.
Her parents, for a bit of money, wanted her to abandon her daughter and marry a middle-aged, bald, perverted man.
You are all forcing me to die!
Fine, then I'll fulfill your wishes!
Ke Ke, Mom is incompetent, I can't let you enjoy life in this world.
I can't leave you alone in this world to suffer either!
Taking nothing with her, Li Mengyao dotingly led her daughter out of the house.
"You leave! Don't come back after you leave!" Wu Lan said sarcastically. "I'll see if you want to go back to that dilapidated rental apartment and continue to be abused by that loser!"
However, Li Mengyao no longer paid attention to her words.
Wu Lan didn't notice that a hint of death had appeared in Li Mengyao's eyes.
Stepping out of the house, holding Ye Ke Ke in one arm.
"Mommy, don't cry, can we go back to find Daddy?" Ke Ke stopped crying, wiped away Li Mengyao's tears.
"Mommy isn't crying, Mommy isn't crying... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ke Ke."
Facing her well-behaved and sensible daughter, Li Mengyao couldn't hold back any longer, and tears poured out as she tightly hugged her daughter.
The thought of taking her daughter to die with her, which had flashed through her mind moments ago, vanished instantly.
She couldn't bear to do that to such an innocent daughter.
Filled with guilt, she made a decision at that moment.
Her daughter was her everything, and no one could take her away!
If anyone tried, she would fight them to the death!
"One month, Ye Yun, just one more month, I'll believe you for one last month!"
After crying for a while, Li Mengyao remembered the man's promise and, with her daughter, hailed a taxi...
An hour later.
Exhausted in body and mind, Li Mengyao, who would have chosen to end it all if not for her daughter in her arms, was stunned by the scene before her when she opened the door to the rental apartment.
