Because of the wide scope of the case, Yao Feiran had her lawyer collect evidence of the rumors and then filed a lawsuit in court. In the end, Liu Zhiliang was sentenced to more than two years, which is considered a relatively heavy sentence. The cost of spreading rumors is low, and this case was only successful because of the wide spread of the rumors and the fact that Yao Feiran spent a lot of money hiring lawyers. If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't bother with all this trouble.

However, after his release from prison, Yao Feiran naturally gave him a big gift.

After Liu Zhiliang went to prison, Yao Feiran's story was also revealed. She started raising her granddaughter in her fifties, built her fortune from scratch, and eventually made hundreds of millions of yuan through stock trading.

They were chatting enthusiastically online.

Wow, Liu Xuan's grandma is so rich! She's a winner in life.

It's said that many of Liu Xuan's hit songs were written and composed by her maternal grandmother.

What?! Grandma's actually quite modern.

.......

This event generated buzz for over a month, and Liu Xuan's concert was successfully held, receiving a positive response.

The Xu family's only chance is gone.

Wang Zhiheng also saw Liu Xuan's childhood experiences.

A colleague sighed, "Liu Xuan was so pitiful when she was little. Her mother died early, and her father ran away with the money and married a new wife. She was often neglected and beaten by her father at a young age. He even complained that he spent money to send her to a remote mountain village. It must have taken several hours to get to school there."

Another person chimed in, "They're still spreading rumors about her now. I heard she's asking for a whopping 500 million."

"So much? If it were me, I would have asked for less first. Asking for so much all at once, who would give it to me!"

"I heard it was his wife's family that had trouble, the Xu family, their financial chain broke down before."

"He treats his current wife so well, but his ex-wife is really pitiful. She worked hard with him to build their business from scratch, and now she's ended up like this."

"I heard that Liu Xuan's father treated his stepdaughter very well. He would prepare delicious food for her birthday, buy her gifts, and pick her up and drop her off every week. Everyone around him said he was a very good stepfather. However, he ignored Liu Xuan for decades and never gave her a penny."

"That's crazy. She treats her own daughter badly but her stepdaughter well. She'll suffer for it later."

"They're getting their comeuppance now."

........

Listening to his colleagues' discussion, Wang Zhiheng's eyes glazed over for a moment, his mind went blank for a second, and in the end he could no longer hear what they were saying.

Was the Uncle Liu that Xu Mian mentioned actually such a despicable person?

Was Liu Xuan's childhood really that difficult?

He suddenly remembered details he had forgotten: he and Liu Xuan lived in the same school and neighborhood, but he had never seen Liu Zhiliang come to see Liu Xuan. Xu Mian said that Liu Xuan refused Liu Zhiliang's money and resisted meeting him.

They never took the initiative to contact Liu Xuan, so why would they resist?

In her previous life, Yao Feiran died young. What was Liu Xuan's life like at her grandmother's house?

Wang Zhiheng recalled a possibility, but quickly forced himself to forget it.

That's impossible. No matter what, in their previous life, Liu Zhiliang and the others at least sent Liu Xuan to university. Liu Xuan's heartlessness shows that she was inherently bad.

........

Years later, Liu Zhiliang was released from prison. By then, Liu Xuan had changed her name to Yao Xuan. Liu Zhiliang looked at the glamorous Yao Xuan on TV with a gloomy expression. She clearly had so much money but refused to share any with him and ruined his life. He would not let her go. He was willing to die together with her.

He returned home to find the house deserted, auctioned off, and he was unable to contact his wife, Xu Pingyu.

Fortunately, he still had some money in his bank card. After withdrawing the money, he took a taxi to an old residential area. It was a house registered under Xu Mian's name. He went to the address and knocked on the door. Sure enough, he saw Xu Pingyu and her mother's whole family.

"Why didn't you come to pick me up? You didn't visit me even once when I went in."

Xu Pingyu glanced at him coldly: "You good-for-nothing, it's a waste of my time to look at you. Don't come looking for me again, let's get a divorce."

"Son, I'm his father, now you should be taking good care of me."

"You've already gone to jail, don't you know how much that affects your son? You still have the nerve to ask him to support you in your old age? No way!"

"If you hadn't encouraged me, would I have gone in!"

"That's because you're stupid, you deserve it!"

He went to see Yao Xuan because of Xu Pingyu's instigation, and ended up like this, while they still mocked him.

Liu Zhiliang gasped for breath, his hands trembling with rage. His anger, which had been building up, exploded with a deafening roar.

"I'll beat you to death!"

Xu Pingyu's family used to be rich, so they treated him like a dog. But now that he's an ordinary person, why should they still treat him like this?

The ferocity in his eyes was undeniable. He punched Xu Pingyu in the face. Xu Pingyu was old and saw stars immediately. Then, as countless fists rained down, she felt the fear of death. She opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but blood gushed from her mouth.

Xu Pingyu's parents are getting old, and their son doesn't live with them. Despite their best efforts, they can't help him.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Pingyu gradually stopped breathing.

"Murder! Murder! Help!"

The old voice was hoarse and desperate. The neighbors heard the noise and quickly opened the door. By then, Liu Zhiliang had already fled.

Meanwhile, Yao Feiran received a phone call.

"Mr. Yao, Liu Zhiliang beat his wife to death."

"What?"

Yao Feiran frowned. She knew that Liu Zhiliang was a selfish person and might cause trouble after he was released from prison, so she had been sending people to follow him. However, before she could take any action, Liu Zhiliang had already killed someone.

Because Liu Zhiliang was Yao Xuan's father, he became famous again. Due to the high level of public attention, the fact that he was beaten to death and that two elderly people were also seriously injured and hospitalized, the social impact was extremely negative. A year later, Liu Zhiliang was sentenced to death.

Yao Xuan never discussed Liu Zhiliang's case with Yao Feiran. After the verdict was announced, Yao Xuan stayed in her room for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, the room door was finally opened.

Yao Xuan's eyes were still a little red.

Yao Feiran knew that the more unattainable something is, the more one desires it. Yao Xuan had always longed for loving parents, but these things were out of reach for her, and now even that last bit of hope had vanished.

"Grandma, you must live a long time, and stay with me a little longer."

"Don't worry, I'm in great health right now."

Yao Xuan leaned on her shoulder, and Yao Feiran reached out to hug her and gently patted her.

Wang Zhiheng saw Xu Mian at the funeral. She was very thin now. She was also thin in her previous life, but she was very healthy. She always spoke in a soft tone and had fair skin, unlike now when a gust of wind could blow her over.

Xu Mian's previously blank gaze instantly broke down upon seeing Wang Zhiheng, and she burst into tears.

"Zhiheng, why did Uncle Liu do this?"

"You still call him Uncle Liu? He only married into your family for money in the first place. He's only nice to you because of the Xu family's money."

Xu Mian shook her head and muttered, "I don't know."
