Trigger Warning: Marital R*pe

Gu Ya wanted to listen to the conversation between Sun Xiulan and the person outside. Unexpectedly, she accidentally kicked a basin and it made a sound. Sun Xiulan quickly called from outside, "Who is it?!"

When Sun Xiulan came in and saw that it was her daughter getting up at night, she felt relieved. She whispered, "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Go back to sleep!"

Gu Ya muttered, "I'm going to sleep after using the bathroom."

Sun Xiulan didn't say anything more and went outside to talk to the person who was standing further away.

This incident left a question mark in Gu Ya's mind. The next day, she couldn't help but ask secretly, "Mom, what happened to Gu Ling's birth mother? Didn't she die a long time ago?"

Sun Xiulan's face changed drastically. "Why are you asking about this? She's dead. That's it! Don't ask again!"

Gu Ya was also surprised. Sun Xiulan's reaction to this matter was unexpectedly strong. Thinking about her past life, she realized that she had never heard anything about Yang Shan. Maybe it wasn't a big deal at all?

Seeing that she couldn't get any answers from Sun Xiulan, Gu Ya lost interest. After all, it had nothing to do with her!

Sun Xiulan seemed to realize that her attitude was too obvious, so she slowed down her voice and advised Gu Ya, "Mom thought about it last night. It's better to arrange your marriage with Yu Mingxin sooner. Have the wedding next month, or simply proceed with obtaining the marriage certificate! You should also consider moving to Yu's house early and building good relationships with the people there."

Gu Ya naturally couldn't ask for more, but she was worried, "What if Yu's family doesn't agree?"

Sun Xiulan snorted, "Why wouldn't they agree? The marriage has already been decided. I'll say that I had someone calculate their fate. Be good to Yu's family these days. If you miss these auspicious days, there won't be any good days in the next year!"

Most people believed in this, and Gu Ya thought it was a good idea as well!

That day, Gu Ya went to propose to Yu Mingxin. Yu Mingxin's family had a business, and they were very particular about these matters. Since they were definitely going to get married, the specific dates for the marriage certificate didn't matter much. Yu Mingxin agreed and went back to retrieve his household registration book. He went with Gu Ya to obtain the marriage certificate.

The matchmaker handed over the gifts and dowry from Yu's family to Sun Xiulan. Although the amount of money was not much compared to others, it was still eighty yuan!

Sun Xiulan took the money and immediately went to find Sister Wang. She handed over thirty yuan, gritting her teeth, and said, "Sister Wang, this matter ends here! If you mention Yang Shan again, I will turn against you!"

In the beginning, because Gu Changjian, being a leader in the pharmaceutical factory and having a certain social status, Sister Wang took Sun Xiulan's money and kept the matter about Yang Shan to herself. But now that Gu Changjian had fallen from grace and was considered worthless, Sister Wang was no longer afraid.

She needed money urgently, so she devised a plan to extort money from Sun Xiulan, and surprisingly, she succeeded!

However, the more Sun Xiulan thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Sister Wang was like an annoying booger that she couldn't get rid of. If she didn't find a way to solve this, it would bring trouble in the future.

In the end, it was all because of that despicable Yang Shan. She had relied on her family's wealth and status to snatch her man away. Even after her death, she left behind Gu Ling, this annoying girl. Sun Xiulan had exerted a great deal of effort to control Gu Ling...
