Chapter 216: The Old Woman Crawled Under the Bed

"Yes, who in the world could have such a big coincidence? Who would be desperate enough to risk their life to save a stranger? And then, by chance, run into you several times and keep helping you?"

Tang Yu sneered.

Because Yang Zhilan hadn't mentioned his name.

He didn't know that the man was, in fact, Ye Qiu, who had once orchestrated a plan against the Yang family.

But with so many intertwined coincidences, Tang Yu could only think that this twist-filled story, from start to finish, was a conspiracy.

Even the things that man had done to Yang Zhilan, and some of the things he had said, could be described as a form of psychological manipulation, a "PUA."

That was how he brainwashed her.

He made her believe deep down that he was her only true love.

Unknowingly, Yang Zhilan had started to consider herself his wife.

Until she found out that he had already married another woman.

This conflict, together with the obsession in her heart, clashed, and in the end, it caused her to develop an aversion to men.

Or rather, her aversion applied only to all men except that man.

"I don't know..."

Yang Zhilan's face was filled with pain.

When she suddenly realized that all her years of obsession might have been a mistake.

That left her completely stunned, and she couldn't accept it immediately.

Tang Yu didn't insist any further and directly activated his [Mind Control Eye].

It was the moment when Yang Zhilan was most mentally vulnerable.

Tang Yu easily took control of her mind and began brainwashing her.

He made her gradually let go of her obsession and realize that it had all been a trap planned by him.

He didn't care if this twist-filled story was just a coincidence or reality.

The only thing he cared about was curing Yang Zhilan's illness; the rest didn't matter.

Once the mental manipulation was over, Yang Zhilan, after a moment of confusion, visibly calmed down.

She stared at Tang Yu for a while, then whispered:

"Thank you for telling me all this. I know what to do now."

"I'm glad you can let it go. The next time you find that miserable man, call me, and I'll kick his ass to vent your anger."

Tang Yu made a gesture with his hands, mimicking the legendary "thousand years of death" move.

Of course, he never considered attacking enemies at their weak spots to be repulsive.

Isn't it better to strike their vulnerable points instead of going for their hair?

Yang Zhilan let out a small laugh.

She pointed toward the shore and said, "Let's go, let's head back quickly. You've gotten pretty wet, change before you catch a cold."

"Alright."

After treating Yang Zhilan, Tang Yu felt much more relieved.

When they reached the door of the mansion, Yang Zhilan suddenly stopped, and with red cheeks, she looked at Tang Yu and said:

"Um... do I still need the treatment?"

"No, it's probably no longer necessary."

Tang Yu answered with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhilan didn't feel as happy as she had expected; instead, she felt a slight sadness.

"But if you face a similar problem again, I can treat you again to prevent a relapse."

Tang Yu added.

"Alright, get some rest early."

Yang Zhilan nodded strongly, and her sadness disappeared instantly.

But when she reached the empty villa, she realized something.

Isn't that guy dating Wang Yixue?

She had a good relationship with Wang Yixue, and she might even consider her a close friend.

Thinking about this, the little joy she had disappeared, replaced by a sense of sadness.

Wei Family Residence.

As one of the old and powerful families in Yanjing, the Wei family has always had a solid foundation.

Especially after last year, when the young master of the Wei family, through a political marriage with the eldest daughter of the Liu family, one of the great families, the two houses joined forces. Their influence increased significantly.

However, this marriage, which caused a great stir in Yanjing, didn't last long.

The young master of the Wei family suffered an accident and passed away.

The newlywed, Liu Ruyan, became the most famous widow in Yanjing.

With the resources of both great families in her hands, Liu Ruyan became the wealthy woman that many men desired.

Moreover, she was one of the most outstanding beauties in Yanjing.

At that time, she was sleeping in her house.

Although her husband had died after marrying into the Wei family, she still lived in the Wei family home, as after all, she had become their daughter-in-law.

While she slept soundly, the door to her room opened.

A figure sneaked in quietly and stood beside her bed.

Liu Ruyan, who had a light sleep, immediately woke up.

With her beautiful eyes filled with fear, she looked at the man standing in front of her.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Upon waking up and seeing someone at the edge of her bed, Liu Ruyan was also scared.

The man in front of her appeared to be about sixty years old, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, giving him an air of integrity.

Upon hearing his daughter-in-law's question, he smiled and said: "You sleep so restlessly that I'm afraid you'll uncover yourself and catch a cold. I just came to check on you."

When Liu Ruyan heard these words, she felt a chill run through her body.

Since her husband's death, her father-in-law had begun to get closer to her, saying things like, since he had lost his son, he would treat her like his own daughter.

She was not comfortable with this at all, as she felt her father-in-law wasn't behaving appropriately.

But she couldn't do anything about it.

The Liu family and the Wei family had joined forces politically, so she couldn't just leave the Wei family and return to hers; that would ruin the marriage between the families.

"Dad, I'm no longer a child. I'll take care of myself. Thank you for your concern."

She responded with a mixture of resignation.

"Why be so formal with your dad? You're like a daughter to me, who wouldn't want to take care of their little one? Get up, I'll invite you to eat."

Wei Yangcheng smiled with a look of affection before leaving the room.

Once her father-in-law left, Liu Ruyan's discomfort completely disappeared.

She muttered under her breath that next time, she would lock the door to prevent this from happening again.

However, when Wei Yangcheng left his daughter-in-law's room and walked a few steps, he encountered a short woman, slightly hunched, with a gloomy face and an unpleasant look.

The woman looked at him with a look of disdain and, in a hostile tone, said:

"What are you doing in that slut's room?"

It was Li Youlan, Wei Yangcheng's wife.

When she was young, Li Youlan hadn't been a great beauty, and now that she was older, her gloomy face made her even less attractive.

Just seeing her face was starting to irritate Wei Yangcheng.

"Slut? Can you be more respectful? She's our daughter-in-law, our daughter."

He responded, reprimanding her.

"Bah, a slut is a slut! If it hadn't been for that woman, our son wouldn't have died so young."

Li Youlan said through gritted teeth.

They only had one son, and now that he was dead, the Wei family couldn't find a successor, while the branches of the Wei family were celebrating.

"I warn you, stop talking like that. If you continue, I won't take responsibility. Do you think the Liu family is so easy to intimidate?"

Wei Yangcheng, in a serious tone, gave her a warning.

Li Youlan snorted in disdain and threatened:

"You don't scare me with the Liu family. I know what you're thinking. If I ever see you in her room again, forget about touching me in bed."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangcheng somehow felt relieved, almost amused.

Now that he was sixty, his vitality in that aspect had greatly diminished.

Being with that woman was the cruelest thing he could do.

If it weren't for "humanitarian" reasons, he would have stopped sharing a bed with her twenty years ago.

Without saying another word, he turned around, went downstairs, and asked the driver to take him to eat.
