What Failed

"Hahahaha—"

Wang Yajun could not help but laugh out loud; she laughed with immense smugness.

She would only spend three more years in prison.

No.

Maybe not even three years.

Li'er is now the boss of a pharmaceutical company, and he will get to know many big shots in the future.

Perhaps, with some manipulation by Li'er's people, she could be released to enjoy a good life.

"Wang Yajun, you still want to enjoy a good life?"

Jiang Shuqin sneered. "Yes, I have no money now, and Xuan'er no longer acknowledges me, but you and your son aren't doing much better!"

The smile on Wang Yajun's face came to an abrupt halt.

"Jiang Shuqin, what do you mean by that?"

The prison guards were also pricking up their ears.

Was there more gossip?

Jiang Shuqin smiled and replied, "Wang Yajun, Lin Li's company was exposed for continuously researching fake drugs. He lost everything, and he has been taken away by the police and locked up."

"Impossible, impossible." Wang Yajun's eyes widened. "Jiang Shuqin, you must be lying to me, right?"

"You definitely just can't stand seeing me so happy, so you made all this up just to make me suffer."

Jiang Shuqin took out her phone and opened a post.

Then she showed the phone screen to Wang Yajun.

"Look at what this is," Jiang Shuqin said with a cold laugh.

Wang Yajun's pupils shrank suddenly.

It was actually true.

Jiang Shuqin said, "Wang Yajun, your son now has a prison record, and he is a eunuch. His notorious reputation has spread all over the country. Tell me, can he still find a good job? And what kind of good life can he give you?"

"Wang Yajun, everything you meticulously planned, hasn't it all come to nothing in the end?"

Jiang Shuqin stood up, put down the visitation phone, and slowly left the prison.

"Ah—"

Behind her came Wang Yajun's breaking voice.

"Let's go back."

The guard took Wang Yajun back to her cell.

"It really is a dog-eat-dog situation." The guards had listened to the conversation between Jiang Shuqin and Wang Yajun with great interest. "I thought the affair between Lin Li, Wang Yajun, and Lin Chang could be kept secret for a long time. I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly."

"Let me tell you, I just checked Weibo, and it was Lin Xuan who exposed all of this."

"Lin Xuan is that capable?"

"How could he not be? Lin Xuan built up the Tianmu Group. He is also the grandson of the Jiang family, and his girlfriend is Su Hua. He effortlessly reached the pinnacle of life."

The guard's face was full of envy.

How many people desired a life like Lin Xuan's?

The photo of Lin Li being taken away by the police was also uploaded to the internet.

Netizens responded with cynical ridicule.

— Serves him right for getting arrested. How dare he make fake drugs? If they don't arrest him, who would they arrest?

— I thought Lin Li actually had some real skills. So this is all he amounts to.

— Selling sunflower seeds, soda, and stools in the front row.

— I've always hated that damn eunuch Lin Li. Finally, I get to see him arrested.

Walking out of the prison, Jiang Shuqin looked up at the sun overhead and smiled mockingly.

Wang Yajun's hopes were dashed, but hadn't she herself also suffered a crushing defeat?

She had nothing left.

Her son was gone.

Her money was gone.

Her husband was gone.

Jiang Shuqin walked along the main road.

Her clothes and hair were messy, and her face was pale, making her look like a madwoman.

She looked completely devastated and lost.

Many people recognized Jiang Shuqin and started pointing fingers at her.

"If I'm not mistaken, that woman is Jiang Shuqin, right?"

"That's right, it's Jiang Shuqin. Let me tell you, this Jiang Shuqin was completely blind. She spoiled her adopted son and neglected her biological son, causing her biological son to sever ties with her."

A girl with a delicate baby face rubbed her chin and said with great interest, "And the result? That biological son became the head of the Tianmu Group. The highly profitable Huyin app and all the major popular games belong to him. As for the adopted son she spoiled, guess what happened?"

A passerby who hadn't caught up on the gossip asked curiously, "What happened? Hurry up and tell us."

The baby-faced girl said, "You would never have guessed it. That adopted son is actually the child of her best friend and her husband! This adopted son, whom she spoiled for so many years, actually transferred all their family assets away."

Passersby: "!!!"

Holy crap!

This is too melodramatic.

Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to write a plot like this.

"This really is quite melodramatic. So pitiful. But pitiful people must have their hateful aspects. She must have had a hole in her head to abuse her biological son and go spoil an adopted son."

"Isn't it exactly a hole in her head? If she didn't have something wrong with her brain, she wouldn't have ended up with a broken family and ruined life like she has now."

The baby-faced girl continued to share the gossip, "There's more! She was originally the daughter of a wealthy family. Her parents saw at a glance that her boyfriend was no good. As a result, she preferred to cut ties with her parents, ran away with all the family's money, just so she could marry her boyfriend."

The passersby widened their eyes in shock once again.

"I'm certain now. She definitely has a hole in her head."

"She ruined her own good life for nothing. It serves her right to end up like this."

Jiang Shuqin overheard their entire conversation.

She muttered to herself, "Serves me right. It really does serve me right."

Ending up in her current state was entirely her own doing.

In Jiang Shuqin's mind, scenes from long ago when she was still in the Jiang family surfaced.

These events had passed decades ago.

Yet today, the memories were exceptionally clear.

Her parents and her brother had truly treated her so very well.

Every year, they meticulously prepared gifts for her, and every time the gifts were different.

Even though they had doctors and servants at home.

Every time she fell ill, her parents would stay by her side day and night.

If she suffered even a slight injury, they would be incredibly anxious.

Her parents could never bear to hit or scold her. Her food, clothing, and expenses were the best in her class, and all her classmates envied her for having such wonderful parents.

Back then, when her parents stopped her from being with Lin Chang, they must have seen through Lin Chang's character and felt he could not give her happiness.

They were clearly thinking of her best interests.

But what had she done?

She argued with them every time. Even when her mother was hospitalized and the company was on the verge of crisis, she didn't hesitate to steal the company's last bit of money and run off to give it to Lin Chang.

She severed ties with the Jiang family.

From that day on, she had always resented the Jiang family for being heartless, thinking they just threw away their daughter so easily.

But it was clearly her who was heartless. It was her who abandoned her parents and brother.

Working hard to tie up loose ends and give this novel a perfect ending.
