Ye's Father glared hatefully at Ye's Mother, "A doting mother spoils her child. If it weren't for your leniency with Ye Li, he wouldn't have offended Lin Xuan, and the Ye Family wouldn't have fallen to this sorry state!"
"Back then, he even said that Lin Xuan was just an ordinary lover on the other side. And look at us now—to think that someone would push our entire family to bankruptcy for the sake of Lin Xuan!"
If it weren't for his son, the Ye Family would still be as prosperous as ever!
Instead, they were now reduced to living in a run-down rental house every day!
Ye's mother also harbored some resentment toward Ye Li, but seeing his current pitiful state, her maternal instinct of love and compassion took over.
"Now that everything is settled, even if you beat Li'er, can you change the outcome?" Ye's Mother said tearfully, her eyes red.
Ye's Father glared at Ye Li for a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that he had only this one son, he truly wish that he could beat him to death!
With a heavy shove, Ye's Father pushed Ye Li away.
"Thud!" Ye Li's head slammed into the corner of the table, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Li'er!"
Ye's Mother rushed to pick up Ye Li anxiously.
Ye Li regained consciousness, his eyes clear, no longer vacant as before.
"Mom." Ye Li clutched Ye's Mother's arm, his face filled with hatred. "You must seek revenge for me. It was Lin Xuan who ruined me!"
And Su Hua.
How could she treat him like that? She allowed two men to do that to him… He had loved her so much and, for her sake, had taken enormous risks against Lin Xuan.
Why had she done this to him?
How could she bear to?
His heart ached so much, so much.
Su Hua's indifferent eyes kept flashing before Ye Li's mind.
Ye's Mother hugged Ye Li excitedly, tears streaming down her face. "Li'er, you're not stupid anymore. That's wonderful!"
"Mom, seek revenge for me," Ye Li repeated, his gaze fixed on her. He wanted Lin Xuan to experience the humiliation of being with two men, no, ten or even dozens of men!
"Li'er, listen to me. Let's just forget about it and live a simple life, okay?"
Ye's Mother dared not confront Su Hua again.
Even when the Ye Family Group was at its peak, Su Hua had managed to bankrupt the company within a week. Now, in their destitute state, they couldn't afford to provoke her.
Su Hua was someone they couldn't afford to anger.
"No! I want to see Lin Xuan disgraced!" Ye Li's emotions were running high, and he was determined to repay every ounce of suffering he had endured a thousandfold to Lin Xuan.
"I'm going to find him now." Despite his swollen face and a bleeding head, Ye Li stumbled toward the door.
Ye's Father, with a stern expression, dragged Ye Li back into the room. "You stay here and don't move from this spot!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Qing had already carried out Su Hua's orders and thoroughly investigated the incident. Those who deserved punishment had already been dealt with.
This time, her main task was to clear Lin Xuan's name, making him appear as a pure and innocent victim.
To this end, she even brought back the two mercenaries and several of Ye Li's bodyguards, along with the two women, from the Golden Triangle.
The brief time in the Golden Triangle had left them gaunt and severely tormented.
Standing before them, Jiang Qing spoke.
The bodyguards and mercenaries, trembling, asked, "Miss Jiang, please instruct us. Whatever you need, we will do."
They never wanted to return to the Golden Triangle, a place where no human should dwell.
Jiang Qing smiled. "It's simple. All you need to do is tell the police exactly what I tell you. Of course, this might mean you'll spend some time in prison. I won't force you, but you do have the option of going back to the Golden Triangle."
One mercenary quickly responded, "Prison? I'm willing! I'll do whatever you ask, Miss Jiang!"
"Me too."
"Me too."
All the bodyguards and mercenaries eagerly agreed.
The two women also chimed in, "We agree as well."
They would rather die in a Chinese prison than endure the torture of the Golden Triangle.
Jiang Qing smiled faintly. "Then make sure you remember my words well."
She had prepared flawless testimonies for each of them, firmly establishing Ye Li's attempt to drug Lin Xuan.
As for Lin Xuan, he was portrayed as a spotless victim, saved only by Su Hua's timely intervention, or else he would have fallen into a dire situation.
Jiang Qing handed over these evidences to the police.
After a thorough investigation, the police confirmed that Ye Li had drugged Lin Xuan and arranged for two women to defile him, though the plan had ultimately failed.
Several police officers arrived at the rental house.
Ye's Mother opened the door, surprised. "Officers, what brings you here?"
The police showed their badges. "We're here to arrest Ye Li. He drugged Lin Xuan, and the evidence is conclusive. Please let your son come with us."
Ye's Mother frowned. "Officers, this must be a misunderstanding. My son is such a kind person; how could he do something like drugging someone?"
The police spoke indifferently, "Rest assured, if your son is innocent, we won't wrong him."
Two police officers restrained Ye's Mother while the others entered the house and took Ye Li away.
The evidence was overwhelming.
Seeing the proof, Ye's Mother had no way to argue further for her son.
She paced back and forth in the living room.
Li'er cannot go to prison; otherwise, his life will be ruined!
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
She remembered that mentally ill people who commit crimes often receive leniency.
Hurriedly, Ye's Mother brought Ye Li's psychiatric evaluation report to the police station. As a result, Ye Li was not imprisoned but sent to the Yundu Mental Hospital.
Jiang Qing reported all this to Su Hua.
Su Hua tapped her slender fingers on the table gently, a faint smile on her lips. "Since he's mentally ill, he might as well stay in the mental hospital."
"Jiang Qing, make sure they take good care of him."
Anyone who dared to harm her beloved Lin Xuan would suffer unspeakable torment.
Seeing the coldness in Su Hua's eyes, Jiang Qing couldn't help but think that Ye Li had truly crossed a line.
In the Yundu Mental Hospital, Ye Li's fate would likely be much worse than that of someone in prison.
At Yundu Mental Hospital, Ye Li was placed among a group of particularly unstable patients. Now completely sane himself, he was surrounded by people who were either muttering to themselves or acting out, driving him to the brink of a mental breakdown.
He pounded furiously on the barred door. "Let me out! I'm not sick!"
Several orderlies and a doctor entered.
One of the orderlies slapped Ye Li twice across the face. "Keep it down!"
"How dare you treat me like this? The Su Corporation won't let you get away with this!" Ye Li growled, his teeth clenched.
"The Su Corporation?" The doctor sneered. "You mean the president of Su Corporation, right? Funny enough, her secretary personally came and asked us to 'treat' you properly."
Ye Li froze in shock.
The doctor waved a hand. "Get him!"
The orderlies surged forward, restraining Ye Li, and the doctor injected him with a special tranquilizer.
"Thud—"
Ye Li's body collapsed to the ground, limp, yet his consciousness remained sharp. Tears rolled down his cheek.
Su Hua, why are you doing this to me? Why?
He had offered her his sincere heart, only for her to crush it.
The time for Lin Xuan's birthday banquet had arrived.

reezy rom-com) Good news: Jiang Liu is quite the ladies' man. Bad news: He’s lost his memory. Lying in a hospital bed, Jiang Liu listens to a parade of goddesses spouting "absurd claims," feeling like the world is one giant game of Werewolf. "Jiang Liu, I’m your first love." "Jiang Liu, you’re my boyfriend—she’s your ex." "Jiang Liu, we’re close friends who’ve shared a bed, remember?" "Jiang Liu, I want to have your baby." The now-lucid Jiang Liu is convinced this must be some elaborate scam... until someone drops the bombshell: "The day before you lost your memory, you confessed your feelings—and got into a relationship." Jiang Liu is utterly baffled. So... who the hell is his actual girlfriend?! ... Before recovering his memories, Jiang Liu must navigate this minefield of lies and sincerity, fighting to protect himself from these women’s schemes. But things spiral even further out of control as more people show up at his doorstep—each with increasingly unhinged antics. On the bright side, the memories he lost due to overwhelming trauma seem to be resurfacing. Great news, right? So why are they all panicking now?
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
