ney out to treat us to a meal."After Zheng Xin finished complaining, she had moved on to the next topic.He's not being generous, he's just being shrewd. As the saying goes, "You are soft in the mouth...The original returned at night, having slept for a whole night. In her dream, she experienced everything the tasker Ripple had done, and she thoroughly understood her own situation. Even after waking up, she still felt incredibly surreal. Only when she saw her healthy parents did she feel a sliver of reality.

After returning, the original body chose the boyfriend selected for her by LianYi. A year later, she married Ji YanZe. After marriage, Ji YanZe was completely devoted to LianYi. This includes his discovery on their wedding night that the original body was still a virgin, as well as the fact that he truly loved her.

After a year and a half of marriage, the original owner became pregnant. Ten months later, she gave birth to a fat boy, making Village Head Ji so happy that he held a full-moon wine celebration. Life flowed by like water, and three years later, the original owner was pregnant again. This time, she gave birth to a daughter, completing her family with both a son and a daughter, becoming the envy of everyone.

While she remained steadfast in her pursuit of learning and didn't simply stay home to raise children. After Mu Lian Sheng graduated from university, she used the seed capital provided by her sister to establish a travel company. Over time, it gradually expanded, taking ten years to become the largest privately-owned enterprise in the province, with tourism business spanning the entire nation.

When Zhang Yongcheng's son turned twenty, he received an anonymous email stating that the son he had raised was not biologically his, but rather his wife's child.

At first, Zhang Yongcheng didn't believe it. But after the seed of doubt was planted, his heart felt like weeds were growing. In the end, he took the opportunity to get his son's hair and did a paternity test. The results were very clear: he wasn't his son's biological father.

This result almost broke him. He went crazy looking for Feng Sisi. Feng Sisi, with her two sons, had been waiting for him for a long time. Then, in front of her two sons, she revealed his impotence and inability to have children, slapping the report from Dr. William at that time onto his face during the surrogacy.

Seeing Zhang Yongcheng's terrified expression, clutching the report in his hands, Feng Sisi felt a surge of satisfaction. Finally, she had avenged the loss of her womb from years ago.

"You despicable wretch, I'm going to sue you for adultery. These two bastards are the best proof."

Zhang Yongcheng said with gnashing teeth.

"Go ahead and sue! You yourself signed the surrogacy agreement back then. These two children are not bastards, they are my Feng Si Si's children. You couldn't have children yourself, so you resorted to surrogacy. Have you forgotten"

Feng Sisi smiled sarcastically, while her two sons completely sided with their mother. Especially the child raised by the Zhang family, he looked at his father's ferocious face and gave up the last shred of hope.

Originally, he thought that even though he wasn't biologically his son, his father had raised him, so there was still a bond between them. Sadly, the two words "bastard" completely shattered his illusions.

When Mrs. Zhang learned that her adopted grandson and son were not biologically related, and that her son would be unable to have children for the rest of his life, she was so angry that she suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.

Zhang Yongcheng ignored his mother and sued Feng Sisi, demanding a division of property. This caused a huge uproar, even trending on hot searches. The Zhang family became the biggest joke in Z city, known by almost everyone. Meanwhile, Feng's company was prepared and quickly retaliated, devouring the Zhang family's businesses.

Zhang Yongcheng lost everything, ending up nearly penniless. He was unwilling to accept this, and lay in wait for a banquet where Feng Sitong was attending. He stabbed Feng Sitong as she prepared to get into her car and was arrested and sent to prison after the attack.

When Mrs. Zhang learned that her son had been arrested, she suffered a second stroke and completely lost her ability to move, bedridden.

Having learned of this from newspapers and the internet, a slight smile curved the corner of her lips. She then avoided Ji Yanze and went to City Z, under the guise of a friend, transferring Mrs. Zhang, who was about to be discharged from the hospital, to a very ordinary nursing home. Holding the old lady's hand, she smiled and said:

"Madam Zhang, please don't die. Living is the greatest punishment."

Facing Mrs. Zhang's terrified gaze, she went to see the nursing home director and paid ten years' worth of fees, directly giving the director a large red envelope while saying:

No matter what method is used, as long as the elderly person in bed 23 survives, she will wait for her son to be released from prison.

"Of course, that's what we should do. As long as the lady renews her subscription on time, we'll naturally take good care of the old lady."

"I come here once a year to make sure the old lady is still alive."

The original isn't easy to fool anymore.

"Okay, absolutely no problem."

Thus, Mrs. Zhang, the one who had killed the original owner and her unborn child in her past life, was enduring endless pain and suffering in this nursing home, living on and on until her son was released from prison. By then, she had become a skeleton, barely alive and sustained by a respirator.

And as the ripples carried Zhang Yongcheng out of prison, they brought him to Mrs. Zhang's bedside. The warden personally received him, knowing that this old woman was about to give up. For the generous income, they finally held on until Mrs. Zhang's son arrived.

Mr. Zhang, your mother was brought here by a lady named Mu Lianyi. She said she is your friend and because of your special circumstances, you are unable to personally care for your mother, so she brought her here for us to help take care of.

She also paid for ten years' worth of fees in one go, asking us to take good care of the elderly. She said that the old man's last wish was to see his son once more.

After the dean finished speaking, Zhang Yongcheng was stunned. He thought of the woman he had abandoned. In the end, she was the only one who truly loved him and was willing to take care of his mother. He was moved at the same time, but also deeply regretted it.

If I hadn't chosen Feng Sisi back then, would things be different now At least Lianyi loves herself and would never wear a green hat. But what's the use of regret

On the bed, Madam Zhang opened her eyes and saw her son. Her lips moved for a long time, but because she had a tube inserted, she couldn't say a word. In the end, it was her son Zhang Yongcheng who personally shut off the ventilator.

"Mr. Zhang, your decision is the right one. It's a miracle that Grandma has lasted this long. If it weren't for seeing you, she probably wouldn't have made it this far. Continuing on would only be torture for her. It's better to let her pass away peacefully."

The dean was also telling the truth this time.

"I understand, please ask the director to refund me the remaining two years' fees."

Zhang Yongcheng is concerned about this matter.

"Huh"

The dean had never seen such a strange person. He sent his mother away not to relieve her suffering, but to get back the medical expenses he had prepaid.

"Refund is definitely no problem, but the money wasn't paid by Mr. Zhang. Our nursing home will return the payment to the original account, so you don't have to worry! Please handle your wife's funeral arrangements as soon as possible."

The dean wouldn't buy that. This was a legal operation, and the other side escalated the situation to the police station. Even then, they were in the right according to the nursing home, so he just turned around and walked away.

Zhang Yongcheng stood there dumbfounded. At this moment, he was no longer the pampered only son of the Zhang family, but a down-and-out, miserable old man.s, wanting to strangle the hateful man.The ripple expression remained unchanged, once again expanding the golden magic array beneath her feet, spreading to where the nine-headed black serpent was.
