Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 45 The Betrothed Child (The End)
After all, Yan Shanshan's reputation in her hometown wasn't very good. She was originally at least a college student, but now she's been expelled. In her twenties, she only has a high school diploma; it's embarrassing to even talk about it. She might as well take advantage of her youth and get married quickly.
Yan Shanshan refused to accept her fate. She felt that she was just having bad luck for the time being and that she would rise again one day. She stole the cash in her house, bought a ticket, and left without looking back, determined to make something of herself and come back to make those who looked down on her regret it.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Yan Shanshan lacked formal education and chose to work as a salesperson at a 4S dealership. She was pretty, articulate, and performed well in sales.
After making some money, Yan Shanshan became arrogant again. This time, she set her sights on customers who bought luxury cars. She quickly selected her targets and soon got the hang of it.
The good times didn't last long. Just a few weeks later, the other woman's ex-wife showed up at the store and beat Yan Shanshan up. Someone filmed the incident and uploaded it online.
Netizens immediately recognized her and exclaimed, "Wow, it's that woman again!" Combined with the previous videos, Yan Shanshan became an internet sensation. Her address was exposed, and people frequently came to her house to dump garbage and rotten eggs. Her walls were also covered with messages like "Die, mistress!"
The landlord was so angry that he forfeited this month's rent and kicked her out. She also lost her job, and the things the older man had given her were all taken back by his wife.
Yan Shanshan returned to a life of poverty. She resigned herself to her fate and went back to her hometown, but the online influence was too great. Her parents were pointed at and gossiped about whenever she went out because of her. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore and gave her a few hundred yuan to kick her out of the house again.
Yan Shanshan's reputation makes it difficult for her to find work. Sometimes, bosses don't pay much attention to online activities, allowing her to sneak in, but she's quickly discovered by her colleagues and fired.
To survive, Yan Shanshan could only do odd jobs and set up a night stall, enduring wind and sun all day long. In just a few years, the hardships of life had completely worn her down to the point of being unrecognizable.
Yan Shanshan collapsed onto the bed and sobbed uncontrollably. If she had chosen to study hard, get into a prestigious university, and work her way up step by step, would things have turned out differently? But who could she blame? There's no turning back in life, and she had to swallow the bitter fruit she had sown herself.

On the other side of the ocean, Gu Beichen also saw the news online that Gu Xiyan had proposed to Shen Chumo. He put away his phone, went home, and told Jiang Shao about it.
Jiang Shao paused for a moment while washing the dishes, then angrily smashed the bowl in her hand, saying indignantly, "Does he even care about me as his mother? He didn't tell me about something so important! No way, I'm going back to China to find him!"
Gu Beichen stopped Jiang Shao with a headache, and said helplessly, "Mom, don't you know what kind of person my brother is? Haven't you caused enough trouble these past few years? Has he ever paid any attention to you?"
Over the years, Jiang Shao had repeatedly clamored to return to China, even secretly buying plane tickets to go back several times, but each time Gu Xiyan sent him back.
In the end, Gu Xiyan cut their living expenses by more than half and threatened that if Jiang Shao was still not behaving himself, he would not pay the remaining half. On the contrary, Gu Beichen was already an adult and the two of them were capable of supporting themselves.
Jiang Shao stared at Gu Beicheng, her face flushed with anger. "Gu Beicheng, are you disgusted with me now? All this trouble I've caused you? Why would I be like this?"
In China, Jiang Shao was at least well-off, but abroad, Gu Xiyan restricted her bank card, forcing Jiang Shao, who had never lifted a finger before, to learn to do housework.
Gu Beichen tossed his hair, which was now covering his eyes. Haircuts were expensive abroad, and he hadn't taken good care of himself in a long time. Gu Beichen was nowhere near the image of a refined young master.
Dressed in a cheap T-shirt and baggy pants, he looked every bit the American hipster. Gu Beichen muttered, "It's all because you offended Big Brother. Otherwise, why would he abandon his own brother?"
You might as well not have come at all. At least you could have sent me some money while you were in China. Now, it's even worse; I don't even have enough money for myself, and I have to share half with you.
Listening to Gu Beicheng's complaints, Jiang Shao felt increasingly remorseful. What kind of choice had she made by abandoning her eldest son? Gu Beicheng hadn't learned his lesson in the years he'd spent abroad, constantly causing trouble, and his grades were just as bad.
He was expelled from school before graduation and faced setbacks in his job search. He couldn't accept jobs with low salaries, couldn't do jobs that were too tiring, and no one wanted him for good jobs. In the end, he could only work as a clerk in a convenience store as a part-time worker.
Looking at the messy, cramped room and his incessantly complaining son, Jiang Shao felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
When Jiang Shao woke up, she found herself alone in the room. It turned out that Gu Beicheng, in order to save money, hadn't even bothered to take her to the hospital; he had simply left Jiang Shao in the room.
A tear slid down Jiang Shao's cheek. She was wrong. She shouldn't have blamed Gu Xiyan for everything that happened back then, and she shouldn't have been biased towards Gu Beichen for so many years. But now, no one was there to listen to her repentance.

Yan Siming and Su Jingyu also saw the marriage proposal online. They laughed at themselves, realizing that they had once thought they were good enough for Shen Chumo, but now they were worlds apart from her.
After the college entrance examination, the family company went bankrupt not long after, and Yan Siming and Su Jingyu were forced to shoulder huge debts in the early days of their lives.
Faced with this predicament, they had to sell all their properties and use valuables to pay off their debts. However, this still could not fill the huge debt gap, and in the end, they could not even afford their college tuition.
To earn enough for tuition and living expenses, Yan Siming and Su Jingyu had no choice but to work while attending school.
They used to look down on roadside stalls, thinking they were food for the lower classes; now, however, they've become a source of food in their daily lives. The pressures of life have gradually worn away all their former arrogance, making them realize that they are just ordinary people.
After shedding their former glory, Yan Siming and Su Jingyu realized how naive and ridiculous they had been. They began to reflect on their past actions and strive to adapt to their new lives. Despite the hardships, they persevered, hoping to one day pay off their debts and return to a normal life.
As for Shen Chumo, they could only offer their silent blessings, because they knew clearly that the gap between them had widened and widened, and they could never go back to the way things were before.
-
Decades later, Shen Chumo was sixty years old. She lay dying in her hospital bed. Time hadn't taken away much of her beauty; instead, it had added a touch of mature charm and elegance to her.
Even at the very last moment of her life, God favored her.
Gu Xiyan gripped Shen Chumo's hand tightly, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Mo Mo, please, don't leave me."
Shen Chumo grasped Gu Xiyan's hand in return. Throughout her life, Gu Xiyan had kept his promise and never let her suffer any injustice. Even though she had not given birth to any children for him, he took the responsibility upon himself and told others that he had azoospermia.
Shen Chumo looked at Gu Xiyan with eyes full of tenderness, "Xiyan, I have been very happy in this life, thank you."
With a beep, Shen Chumo slowly closed her eyes, and Gu Xiyan buried her face in Shen Chumo's chest and cried, "Momo, I love you."
Even knowing that you don't love me as much as you seem, even knowing that you've been hiding secrets from me, I'm already content that you chose me and have been with me for life. But I can't bear a world without you.
In the same year, Gu Xiyan passed away at the age of sixty-five and was buried with his beloved wife, Shen Chumo.
