Similar to Li Chenfeng, Zhang Li had been hiding at home ever since the fall of the Li Family. In order to save money, she tried to cut out anything that was not a necessity and even let the servants go. The problem was that those two were used to an easy life and indulgence. Without servants, they would order takeout food all the time and money flew out faster than it came in. Before long, they had sold everything in the house, leaving them nothing except for water and electricity.

Zhang Li was not worried because she thought Li Chenfeng could always go back to the Lings. After all, there was an engagement between the two families, and as long as the two young people got married, the Li’s would have money again.
As a result, when she managed to borrow some money, Zhang Li went out to play mahjong. Who knew that she had been losing from the beginning, and soon she had lost all the borrowed money. She didn’t want to give up, so she called Li Chenfeng to bring her some more money.
What she didn’t expect to hear was the news of Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan’s engagement. Zhang Li’s eyes opened wide and she pointed at the fat lady, “Bullshit! Ling Tianya was clearly engaged to my son! How can she marry someone else?”
The fat lady replied with much contempt, “Why not? The Lings are not stupid people. Why would they marry their daughter to your son when you are obviously broke? Besides, it is Ruan Zeyan who proposed to Miss Ling. Why on earth would she say no to a gleaming President’s public proposal?”
Zhang Li’s face was twitching, finding it hard to stomach the reality. In her mind, Ling Tianya was going to be the daughter-in-law of the Li Family. They were already engaged; how could it fall through? Those days, the Li’s were the ones who tried to keep their distance from the Lings. With that reputation of Ling Tianya, which man would be willing to marry her except her son?
Where did Ruan Zeyan come from? He was obviously a bully! action
The fat lady squinted at Zhang Li. “The story has been out for a long time and it’s everywhere. How can you not know? Did you sell your TV too? You can’t even watch news now?”
Zhang Li’s face turned pale when she heard that. It was true that her family didn’t even have a TV! She had sold their TV a long time ago for money, and the Internet was cut off too. Their phones couldn’t do anything other than make calls and send text messages.
Zhang Li was gravely humiliated by the way those people were making fun of her. She stood up abruptly and said, “No, I have to go home and talk to my son. We’re not letting this go! She is the daughter-in-law of the Li Family. She can’t just marry someone else!”
As she was speaking, Zhang Li rushed out of the mahjong room.

Zhang Li hastened her steps, obviously trying to do exactly that.
Zhang Li closed the car door and told the driver to start driving. “Son, we’ve been played by the Lings!”
“What?” Li Chengfeng’s ears perked up when he heard ‘the Lings.’ After the last few weeks, he had reached the end of his rope, so the Lings were his last hope.
“Ling Tianya is getting married to Ruan Zeyan!”
The news hit Li Chengfeng the same way as it did Zhang Li. His face showed a mixture of pain, embarrassment, and anger.
Zhang Li made a fist of her hand. “Let’s find Ling Qi. Back then it was her who asked you to get engaged to Ling Tianya, so she has to take care of this situation!”
