After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

To everyone's surprise, Zhuo Yuchen's hands, with their distinct knuckles—hands that could casually sign multi-million dollar deals in seconds—were now diligently washing shrimp in a basin!

Dong Yan and Yan Zimo were dumbfounded.

He stared wide-eyed comically, looking completely bewildered.

After a few seconds, Dong Yan stiffened before finding her voice, "Son... are you washing shrimp?"

"Yes!"

Zhuo Yuchen nodded. "Niannian is hungry. I'll cook her her favorite seafood noodles."

"She really likes this flavor!"

When he said this, Zhuo Yuchen didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Not only did he appear natural, but a faint smile involuntarily curved his thin lips.

He seemed somewhat pleased.

It felt like being able to cook for Yan Niannian was something to be very proud of.

……

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

The two women were completely petrified.

Because at that moment, it was like being struck by lightning, leaving their minds blank.

It was invaded and swallowed up by the unbelievable.

Then, it was replaced by intense jealousy and resentment.

After realizing what had happened, Dong Yan clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, her face turning green with anger.

Bitch!

That damned little bitch Yan Niannian! How dare she treat her own son like this, making him handle all that filthy seafood himself.

Then I'll cook noodles for her?

Does she deserve it?

Yan Ziming, standing to the side, wasn't in a much better mood either. Her back was tense, and she bit her lip hard.

Jealousy nearly caused her to lose her composure and become unrecognizable.

Fortunately, she managed to control her emotions at the crucial moment.

"Brother Yuchen!" Yan Ziming's expression changed, and she choked up, her usual sharp tongue returning, "How could Miss Yan order you around like this?"

What does she see you as?

"A maid?"

"She really went too far."

As she spoke, she appeared heartbroken and distressed for Zhuo Yuchen.

Zhuo Yuchen's expression didn't change at all.

His hands moved swiftly and without stopping.

He merely glanced indifferently at the screen, but his words were even colder and more chilling than his expression.

"I am willing!"

"do you have any opinion?"

"I..." Yan Ziming choked for a moment.

His face alternated between pale and bluish.

I'm so angry I could die.

"Alright, that's enough. I still need to cook for Niannian." A hint of impatience flashed across Zhuo Yuchen's face.

He didn't give the two women a chance to say anything more and directly turned off the video.

The screen went black.

Along with them, Dong Yan and Yan Zimo's faces also became dull and gloomy.

After a pause, Yan Ziming, who was feeling extremely wronged on behalf of others, finally let the tears that were about to fall from her eyes fall.

Her voice choked with sobs, "Brother Yuchen is so pitiful! For Miss Yan's sake, he has repeatedly degraded himself. It breaks my heart."

"You bitch! That bitch!"

This made Dong Yan even more furious.

She raised her hand and angrily swept everything within reach onto the floor.

His chest heaved with anger, and his expression was ferocious.

"Auntie, please don't be like this. What if you get sick from getting angry?" Yan Zimo put on that considerate and kind look again.

He moved closer to Dong Yan and raised his hand to pat her back to help her catch her breath.

Then, she changed the subject, "Auntie, it's really inappropriate for the president of the prestigious Zhuo Group to act like a servant."

"So Auntie, you'd better hurry up and think of a way to call Brother Yuchen back!"

Thinking about everything Zhuo Yuchen is doing for Yan Niannian at the orphanage, she was consumed with jealousy.

I'm going crazy.

No!

She absolutely could not stand idly by and let Yan Niannian succeed.

But when she called him, Zhuo Yuchen would ignore her completely, so she could only place all her hopes on Dong Yan.

Dong Yan naturally shared the same thought.

only……

A few seconds later, her back suddenly bent down, and she shook her head weakly with a bitter smile.

"it's useless."

"Once Yu Chen has made a decision, no one can change it."

Yan Ziming's face and body stiffened.

She lowered her head, clenched her fists in resentment, and cursed Dong Yan as "useless" in her heart!

Are we just going to let that little bitch Yan Niannian get away with it?

Do not!

no way!

Thinking of this, Yan Ziming narrowed her eyes, her pupils darting around calculatingly.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Got it!

If anything happens to the Zhuo family, and there's something more important than making noodles for that little bitch Yan Niannian, Brother Yuchen will definitely come back.

such as……

Dong Yan had an accident.

Having made up her mind, when Yan Ziming looked up again, there was no trace of anything unusual on her face.

"Forget it, Auntie, let's not think about those unhappy things."

"Oh, by the way, the peonies in the garden are in bloom! I heard they're beautiful. Let's go take a look!"

"All right!"

Dong Yan nodded.

She wasn't really interested, but she couldn't bear to disappoint Yan Ziming.

After all, she genuinely liked her and truly wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.

The two got up and slowly walked outside.

……

In the corridor, Yan Zimo obediently held onto Dong Yan's arm.

In his slightly lowered eyes, a calculating glint was faintly visible.

She secretly pondered, wanting to find an opportunity to make a move against Dong Yan.

Soon, the opportunity will come.

A maid carrying a tray walked towards us.

Just as she was about to reach the two of them, the maid quickly stopped and bowed respectfully, "Madam, Miss Zimo!"

Dong Yan glanced down at her.

No words were spoken.

Instead, Yan Ziming smiled kindly at the maid and said, "You're welcome!"

The maid was flattered.

Miss Zimo is such a kind person. She is very friendly to the servants and has no airs at all.

However, what she didn't know was what kind of malicious intent Yan Ziming harbored beneath her seemingly kind exterior.

In the instant they passed each other, Yan Ziming suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!"

She pretended to lose her balance, reached out, and lunged at Dong Yan.

She shoved her hard.

At that moment, the two of them were standing at the top of the stairs.

Without a doubt, Dong Yan lost her balance and flew out, tumbling down the stairs.

boom!

A few seconds later, she fell heavily to the floor.

"Ouch! Ouch! My leg!" Dong Yan crawled on the ground in a disheveled state, her face pale, wailing in pain.

And her right leg...

It twists and turns in a bizarre posture.

It's obviously a fracture.

Just then, Zhuo Xuan happened to come out and witnessed this scene.

He stood frozen in place, as if terrified, his eyes wide with horror.

Grandma...

Did you fall down the stairs?

Just like the last time she deliberately pushed him down the stairs, his body rolled helplessly over all the steps before crashing heavily to the ground.

It must hurt!

That's how he was back then.

At this moment, Zhuo Xuan, who was shocked, felt not only fear but also a strange sense of...exhilaration!
