Li Qin shook her head helplessly and her face looked haggard.
“Yes, they must get a divorce. That woman is lazy and has no principles. I can’t even begin to describe just how extreme she can get. She even took the child the previous time and threatened to jump off the building with him, creating such a commotion that everyone knew. The police and firemen all arrived to coax her down.” Li Qin was enraged at the mention of Xia Yuwei.
She had enough of that woman.
Li Ya exclaimed in surprise. She had heard the rumors when she saw how angry her elder sister was, she decided that Xia Yuwei whom she had only met once before must be a truly terrible person.
“I already told you back then that this woman was not as innocent as you thought.” Any woman who clung on to a married man knowing that he was married would not be a nice woman. It was only her sister who refused to see the truth then, even praising Xia Yuwei as an intelligent, kind and a woman with a good upbringing.
Li Qin had nothing to say to that. She handed her grandson to one of the maids, no longer in the mood to coax him anymore.
“Ugh... Back then, I thought that her family background was better compared to He Xiyan. Both her parents were intellectuals which meant that she would have received a good upbringing. I didn’t expect her to slowly reveal her true self to us after she married into the family.” Li Qin was even more enraged when she mentioned this. She regretted being so nice to Xia Yuwei in the past when all that woman did was to order her around as though she was her maid.
Li Ya laughed. Everything her sister assumed about that woman’s upbringing or family background was false. Having more than twenty years of experience in being a lady boss, she immediately knew at first glance what kind of woman Xia Yuwei was.
“Oh yes, what happened to your previous daughter-in-law, He Xiyan?” Li Ya asked, expressing her concern for He Xiyan. She suddenly remembered that He Xiyan had visited her in the hospital when she was hospitalized three years ago and even took care of her for two days.
They didn’t spend much time together but she had always thought that He Xiyan was a kind person.
“She....” Li Qin scoffed and the anger did not fade from her face. She frowned so deeply that it enhanced the wrinkles on her face and said, “I don’t know where she learned how to seduce people but after she divorced Yixuan, she got together with Ye Zhiyuan’s son, Ye Hao. She’s now living the best kind of life.”
“Why do you think Yixuan is so unlucky? All the women he met have all been so scheming, it just ticks me off.” Li Qin rose to her feet, her face flushed and her hands curling into fists on their own accord.
Li Ya quickly tugged at Li Qin’s hand and handed her an apple.
“Alright, don’t be so angry. It is her good fortune to marry into the Ye family, so be more open-minded about it. Calm down!” She advised her sister.
The two sisters who were both over fifty years of age continued to chat amicably about everything, as though they had a never-ending stream of things to tell each other.

Ye City.
In a tall skyscraper, the employees of Tianyu Land Holdings happily walked out of a meeting room and talked in excited whispers, sharing their plans for the new year holidays.
It was February 27th on the lunar calendar, which meant that it was finally time for the long holidays. This lunar new year break would last 12 days and this year, their company was suddenly kind enough to extend their break for a full five days.
This news was enough to make them all overjoyed.
They returned to their desks and excitedly started to sort through their documents, pack up and clean their work desks. In less than an hour, more than two-thirds of the staff had left the office.
In the office room to the right, Yang Mingyu completed his final tasks, then stood up to stretch and dug out the present he brought this morning. He then turned and walked toward the room next to his office.
“Yixuan, happy birthday!” Mingyu placed the box in front of Mo Yixuan. “This is for you. It is a box of Dragon Well Tea from Mt. Paektu. It is a legendary royal tea and only 10 boxes are produced each year!”
