Chapter 13

The next day, the boss and Guan Yingying were cornered by the boss’s wife at the company entrance. Their three daughters also arrived. The boss shielded Guan Yingying with his body. "Stop, don’t hit her, she’s carrying my son!" Upon hearing this, the boss’s wife and daughters froze for a moment before unleashing a furious attack on both of them. In their panic, they fled, but the boss got into a car accident and died on the spot. Guan Yingying, whom he had protected, only suffered minor injuries, and the baby was saved. However, after giving birth, the boss’s wife refused to acknowledge the child as her husband’s illegitimate son. The boss’s ashes had already been scattered in the sea, and without proof of paternity, Guan Yingying couldn’t claim the company’s inheritance. She cried and demanded a DNA test with the boss’s daughters, but as soon as she approached the company, security threw her out. After taking over the company, the boss’s wife sued everyone who had received money from the boss to whitewash Guan Yingying, demanding they pay back the money. I also had a lawyer friend draft a lawsuit against them for spreading rumors. In the end, these people lost their jobs and money, and were embroiled in lawsuits. They were constantly cursed by netizens. They messaged me to apologize, but I had already canceled my old phone number and replaced it with a new one. So, they went to my livestream to apologize. Of course, it didn’t take long before enthusiastic netizens helped drive them away with insults. My livestream career was flourishing. One day, while I was livestreaming in the fields, a mad woman suddenly appeared on screen. "Li Qi, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, my daughter wouldn’t have died from an infection because we couldn’t afford her treatment!" I was facing away from her, so the viewers saw her first and quickly alerted me. By the time I turned around, it was too late to avoid her. In the crucial moment, my cousin swung his whip a few times, and the pigs, cows, and sheep he was raising suddenly rushed over. Guan Yingying was knocked over. She fell into the pit we had dug to prevent theft. Soon, a piercing scream echoed. Guan Yingying hit the ground headfirst and fell into the pit. She was knocked unconscious. That fall left her with brain damage, making her mentally disabled. Later, the police investigation revealed that her child had died from being frozen to death. To gain sympathy, Guan Yingying had placed her newborn in cold water to try and make it seem like an accident. She was sent to a mental institution. I visited her there once, and she was living "comfortably." The nurse complained, "Ever since she arrived, the whole hospital has been chaotic." I patted the nurse sympathetically on the shoulder. The nurse shrugged, speaking cheerfully, "It’s not too bad, actually. Every time she provokes someone, they end up hitting her back. "When she gets hurt, she’ll be quiet for a while." After leaving the orphanage, I applied for a work injury assessment and insurance compensation. I bought the earliest ticket back home. I didn’t expect that after just a few days away from home, I would miss it so much. I longed for the blue skies, the fruits and vegetables, and the pigs, cows, and sheep. But the thing I missed the most was my family, who would always love me!
