"However, I was still caught in my own world. I didn't notice my father and little brother's injuries. I also didn't notice my grandparents and other relatives had been going around to beg people for money to cure my father and brother.
"However, not many people wanted to borrow my family money considering the situation we were in. Just like that, my father and brother's injuries were left untreated.
"My grandparents managed to beg their old friends and collected some money. They came back in person to Taoyuan Village.
"When they saw me, they were furious. I was the reason why the family was in shambles. They scolded me for being so heartless, selfish, and dumb. For a man, I had made my parents suffer, and my little brother lost his leg.
"Then, my grandfather said something that awakened me. He said sharply, 'How can you be sure that it was you who betrayed this relationship and not the other way round? I have gone to the Chen Family Village to ask around. The Chen Family has been going around bragging that their son has married the daughter of a large company. Now, he sends back 20,000 every month. Xiao Lingyu, you and that kid had been together for ten years already. Why would he instantly believe others and not you about the betrayal? Also, how could he get married so soon after? There is something fishy about this. You are normally so smart. How can you be so dumb this time?'
"When I heard that Chen Ran had married the boss' daughter, my heart jolted. My grandfather's words were like a blow to my head, and they instantly woke me up.
"I suddenly remembered stuff. When I was still in the company, I had already heard rumors about Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. However, I was confident in our relationship, and I trusted Chen Ran, so I didn't believe the rumors. I once tried to ask him about it jokingly, but he swore to me that it was all just a rumor.
"Finally, I realized he was full of lies. The signs were all there. There was the perfume of another woman on his clothes and lipstick on his neck. He would also leave the room to talk on his phone.
"This proved that Chen Ran, my boyfriend of ten years, had betrayed me.
"Other than that, in less than ten days after I left City Z, Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman announced their wedding. Chen Ran must have been cheating on me when we were still together. The woman was the boss' daughter. She was powerful and rich. He would get many things from marrying her.
"I also realized it was them who was behind the series of incidents that caused me to lose anything. For what purpose? It couldn't have been clearer."
Anger appeared on Gong Tianhao's cold face. He said angrily, "This scumbag actually hurt you so much. I want to tear him into pieces!"
How could he do such a thing to his former lover just to save some hard work? If he wanted a brighter future, he could just break up with Xiao Lingyu. Why the need to harm the lover of ten years? Why hurt her and her family? Why bully them to such an extent?
This bastard was not even a man. He was a scum among men.
When Gong Tianhao thought about how Xiao Lingyu had been bullied, he could not help but feel angry. He said, "Yu 'Er, I will definitely take revenge for you."
'Huiqing Group? They will be wiped off the face of this world!'
Xiao Lingyu looked at Gong Tianhao, and she smiled. Then, she shook her head and said, "There's no need. After my rebirth, I had already taken revenge on them. Chen Ran is now invalid. Zhao Huiqing and Zhao Wenman are currently in jail for attempted murder. As for Huiqing Group, it has already been acquired by Yan Siming. Speaking of which, I still owe Yan Siming a few big favors." Gong Tianhao was silent for a moment before he asked, "Rebirth? What do you mean?"
Was it really as he understood it? A rebirth like the ones in the television drama? However, this had really happened to his Yu 'Er.
Xiao Lingyu was silent for a moment before she said, "I died in my previous life and was reborn with my memory. I returned to the night we had sex in City Z."
Gong Tianhao's breathing stopped. He felt incredulous and shocked.
"That was when the tragedy in my previous life started. However, after my rebirth, I won't let them have their ways. I wanted to turn the tides," Xiao Lingyu said. "So, from the moment I woke up, I planned to take revenge on them. They want me to lose my reputation, so I'd let them lose their reputation first."
Xiao Lingyu's eyes flashed with a ruthless light as she said fiercely, "However, I still have to thank Yan Siming for his help. If it weren't for his help, no matter how capable I am, I wouldn't be able to defeat Zhao Huiqing and the others in a short period of time."
When Gong Tianhao heard Yan Siming's name again, he furrowed his brows tightly, and his heart felt sour and bitter.
He said unwillingly, "Yu 'Er, actually, I can help you take revenge too. Huiqing Group is nothing for me." When Xiao Lingyu heard his jealous words, she rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "But at that time, I didn't even know you."
Gong Tianhao's expression suddenly turned stiff. He said with some grievance, "We clearly had..." They had slept with each other, so how could they not know each other?
Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Lingyu continued, "Yes, we did sleep together, but the next day, I couldn't even find you. Plus, I didn't even know your identity at the time."
Gong Tianhao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yu 'Er, since you didn't know who I was, how did you recognize me as the man that night later?" He had never thought about that question, but now he was intrigued.
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's your voice."
Gong Tianhao was very surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "My voice?!"
He was surprised that Yu 'Er could recognize him just through his voice. Then again, every person's voice was unique. One could remember the voice without seeing the face.
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "I am very sensitive to voices. I won't forget any voice that I have heard. When Li Yuanhang bumped into me, and when you spoke, I recognized you immediately."
Gong Tianhao thought back to that day. He smiled and asked, "Is that why you deliberately walked over that day? Was it to see my face?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded seriously and said, "Yes. Because I want to know what Xiao Tong's father looks like."
"Xiao Tong?" Gong Tianhao grasped the crux of the matter and said emotionally, "Are you talking about our child? Is he a boy or a girl?" Gong Tianhao carefully caressed Xiao Lingyu's belly.
Xiao Lingyu also caressed her belly and said honestly, "Xiao Tong is a boy. He's very obedient and sensible."
Gong Tianhao was slightly disappointed when he heard that it was a boy. He had always hoped that it would be a girl so that he could always dote on her. As for boys, he had to be strict.
Gong Tianhao remembered Xiao Lingyu say that she owed the child. He asked, "Yu 'Er, in the past, how did you and Xiao Tong..." get along?
