Mo Li nodded and said, “Yangyang, I have no choice but to bear with it.”

“I guess your life will probably get better once she passes on. At least Ye Xiaotian still defends you to a certain extent, otherwise, things will definitely be much worse. It’s true that wealthy families like Ye Xiaotian’s would need a male heir to carry on the bloodline. But Mo Li, do you know that doing so would be akin to altering your fate? You’re destined to have four daughters in your life. You’ll very likely bring about unwanted consequences by insisting on begging for a son,” Mei Yangyang said with a sigh.

“I understand, but I don’t have a choice. If we were childless, I would initiate a divorce with him. But Jiani is almost six years old now. Even if his mother lets me have the custody, Xiaotian won’t agree to it either. So, I can’t kill myself or get a divorce now,” Mo Li said with a forlorn expression.

Mei Yangyang gazed at her with a look of pity and said, “I really hope you’ll give birth to a baby boy safely after your fate has been altered. But I don’t think you’ve hit rock bottom yet. When one is truly at their wits’ end, their personality will change completely. You told my Sis earlier that you aspire to be like her, but she’s suffered far more hardship and torment than you have. Although she’s naturally independent and tough, the many obstacles in her life have crushed her hopes over and over again. In order to become someone like her, you’d have to possess grit and tenacity from within. I don’t suggest you take your own life, but do you really think you can continue sitting back and swallowing your pride for the sake of your child? Do you really think you can tolerate it ’til the day your mother-in-law dies?”

Mo Li shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I have no idea if I’ll even be able to give birth to a son either.”

“I suppose you’ve heard about Jin Qingyan divorcing my sister. But I bet you didn’t know, my sister walked out of the marriage without taking any material possessions with her, and she’s even allowed Mr. Jin to have the rights to their son’s custody...”

Mo Li gasped in shock and asked, “Brother Qingyan has the custody of their child?”

“Yes, think again before saying that you want to become a woman like her. Do you have that kind of bravery?”

“Did Xiaoning do something wrong or did Brother force her to?” Mo Li asked.

Needless to say, Mei Yangyang would not answer her directly. Instead, she said, “They came to a mutual agreement. My Sis has her own money and assets under her name anyway. As for her son, I don’t really know what plans she has in mind.”

“Maybe you’re right. Perhaps I’m not really on the verge of despair, nor have I given up completely yet,” Mo Li said with a wry smile.

“You’ve had a hard time being in a relationship with Ye Xiaotian throughout all these years too. I’ve heard from Tianze about the hardship you’ve endured all along. Mo Li, you ought to look forward to the future and live on well.”

“Yangyang, thank you for hearing me out and giving me advice. I feel so much better now.”

Mei Yangyang smiled and said, “Don’t mention it, that’s what friends are for. You’re Tianze’s childhood buddy, and that makes you my friend too.”

After Mo Li left, Mr. Mei frantically entered and said, “Yangyang, the jade piece you bought me has gone missing.”

“How did it go missing? Did you misplace it somewhere?” Mei Yangyang asked.

“How could I possibly leave such a valuable item you’ve given me lying around? I’ve always hung it around my neck. It was still there when I went to bed last night. I just noticed that it had gone missing.”

“Let me check the surveillance cameras.” Mei Yangyang then brought him to the surveillance cameras monitor room.

Both of them got a great shock after watching the footage.

During midnight, Mei Shuangshuang sneaked into Mr. Mei’s room. It was obvious what happened after.

“Father, did you drink anything before you went to bed?”

“I was about to go to sleep after showering but she came inside my room saying that she wanted to have a chat with me. She brought some beer too. I reckon... she must have taken it away from me,” said Mr. Mei, anger surging through his veins.

Mei Yangyang did not expect Mei Shuangshuang to steal Mr. Mei’s jade pendant, which cost her more than a million dollars. She was told that the jade would become more and more psychic with extended wear.

Little did she expect...

She immediately tried to call Mei Shuangshuang, who had switched off her phone.

“Seems like she knew we would find out about it sooner or later, so she switched off her phone. Let’s see if her luggage is still around.”

Mei Yangyang and her father zoomed toward Mei Shuangshuang’s room, only to find that all her clothes, cosmetics, and other belongings were missing. However, she did not bring her luggage with her, perhaps because she was afraid of making too much of a noise.

“Shuangshuang has really gone overboard! Don’t bother looking for her, just let her die outside! We really shouldn’t have let her come back. She even had the guts to sell the house without our consent. Is there anything she wouldn’t dare to do? From now on, let’s not search for her at all, Yangyang. I don’t want to see her again even if she comes home,” Mr. Mei hollered in exasperation.

Mr. Mei was seething with anger.

“Father, simmer down. I’ll just buy you another jade pendant. Since she’s disregarded us as her family and hurt us time and time again, there’s no reason we should keep compromising and giving in to her unconditionally.”

“Yangyang, don’t buy me another one. It’s too expensive. What if I lose it again?”

Mei Yangyang patted his hand and said, “I’ll buy you another one if it goes missing again. It’s alright, the price doesn’t matter to me.”

“We’ve become such a burden to you, Yangyang. I feel really guilty toward you. You’ve constantly had to worry about Shuangshuang and your mother,” said Mr. Mei, filled with immense guilt.

“Don’t say that again, Father. Aren’t we getting on just fine now?”

Mr. Mei nodded as tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

After leaving the house, Mei Yangyang headed straight to the jewelry store to buy a similar-looking jade pendant for her father; it also cost more than a million dollars.

She brought the matter up to her husband when he returned home in the afternoon.

“What a horrible wretch... I really wonder if your sister was adopted. Why is she so different from you?” Long Tianze remarked.

“How would I know? Maybe she had a genetic mutation when she was in my mother’s womb,” Mei Yangyang jested with a chuckle. “At the end of the day, children should never be pampered, regardless of gender. They can’t be spoiled rotten!”

“I agree with you...”

Just as he finished speaking, Long Xiaoxi ran down the stairs and said, “Daddy, Mommy, I want some ice cream...”

“No, you’ve already had some this morning. You’re still really small in size, you’re going to fall ill if you eat too much ice cream,” Mei Yangyang refused immediately.

Pouting her lips, Long Xiaoxi walked toward Long Tianze and tugged his arm with her chubby hands while whining, “Daddy, look how mean Mommy is to me. I want to have some ice cream, Daddy, will you let me?”

“Yes, yes. There’s ice cream in the freezer, go get it yourself...” said Long Tianze.

“Yay, thank you, Daddy. Daddy, you’re the best Daddy...” Long Xiaoxi exclaimed gleefully. She gave him a peck on his cheek and skipped away merrily.

“Long. Tian. Ze!!! What you were saying just now...” Mei Yangyang bellowed, glowering at him.

“What did I say? I just said that I agree with your theory that your sister had undergone a genetic mutation while she was still a fetus in your mother’s womb. I didn’t say anything else.”

Mei Yangyang was furious beyond words. “Weren’t you referring to what I said about not spoiling our children rotten?”
