So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

But as soon as he reached the dilapidated gate of her house, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

The gate was rickety, the paint had peeled off, revealing the rotten wood underneath.

Pushing open the gate, the entire courtyard was filled with an old and worn atmosphere, with spider webs hanging haphazardly in every corner, looking dilapidated.

“Shaodong…Tucheng…” she called out her son and grandson’s names in a trembling voice, but only empty echoes answered her.

Just then, Li Guiqin from next door heard the noise and came out. She looked at Bai Zhilan with a surprised expression, her eyes widened slightly, and her mouth opened involuntarily. It took her a while to come to her senses.

"You...you are Bai Zhilan? You've been released from prison?" Li Guiqin's voice was tinged with surprise and doubt. Her eyes swept over Bai Zhilan, as if she couldn't believe that the thin, haggard old woman in front of her was the same arrogant and domineering Bai Zhilan she once was.

Bai Zhilan, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly said, "Guiqin, where are my son Shaodong and my grandson Tucheng? Why aren't they home? Did they go to the city?"

Li Guiqin looked at Bai Zhilan, a complicated expression flashing in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Your son and daughter-in-law have been missing for a long time, and your grandson is in jail for ten years. By the time he gets out, you may not even be around anymore."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhilan's body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"Impossible! How could my son and daughter-in-law disappear? And Tu Cheng, he's a college student, how could he be in jail?"

At this moment, Wang Miaomiao came out of the house. She looked extremely tired and haggard, and her steps were unsteady. Her once jet-black hair was now streaked with silver, and a few strands of hair fell casually beside her cheeks, making her complexion look even more sallow.

She held the hand of a two- or three-year-old girl, who timidly hid behind Wang Miaomiao, her eyes revealing a hint of unease.

Wang Miaomiao's other hand unconsciously stroked her high, protruding belly, which was quite obvious even under her loose clothes, as if she was about to give birth.

When Li Guiqin saw Wang Miaomiao, a look of heartache flashed across her face. She quickly stepped forward and shielded Wang Miaomiao behind her, saying, "Miaomiao, Wang Tucheng's grandma has been released from prison."

Bai Zhilan's gaze finally fell on Wang Miaomiao. She was slightly taken aback at first, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. But she quickly adjusted her expression and forced a smile that was more like a grimace. The smile was tinged with ingratiation and embarrassment. She said, "This is Miaomiao. She's a mother now."

She paused, then seemed to remember something, a hint of regret and confusion in her eyes, and continued, "Back then, I had the highest hopes for you and my son Tu Cheng, but... how did he end up in jail?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guiqin immediately grabbed Wang Miaomiao's hand and pulled her behind her, saying, "You can't talk nonsense. My Miaomiao is already married and has a child."

And also, your Tu Cheng is a terrible person; he sold his own sister to Wang Tianba in our village.

Do you even know who Wang Tianba is? Your granddaughter's innocence is ruined; they were both arrested by the police that very day.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhilan's wrinkles deepened. "Your younger sister? You mean Wang Manyun?"

Li Qin scoffed and said, "Of course it's her. Who else could it be but Zhao Di? Zhao Di is the general manager of the Zhou Group now. How can your granddaughter compare to her?"

Just then, a car slowly drove up. Li Guiqin immediately smiled and said, "Qin Sheng, you've finally arrived!"

A man got out of the car and replied with a smile, "I was late because something came up. Let's go, Mom."

Wang Miaomiao glanced at Bai Zhilan, said nothing, and got into the car with her child. Li Guiqin also got into the car, and before getting in, she said to Bai Zhilan, "Old Bai, our family is going to the city for dinner, so we won't talk to you anymore."

Bai Zhilan, as if grasping at a lifeline, hurriedly called out to her, "Guiqin, what about my Manyun? Do you know where she lives?"

This question instantly made the atmosphere in the car awkward. Wang Miaomiao's face turned pale, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and her hands unconsciously tightened, holding the child in her arms even tighter.

Qin Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of guilt. He quickly shifted his gaze from Bai Zhilan to Wang Miaomiao, coughed lightly, and tried to cover up his unease.

Li Guiqin said casually, "It seems she found a rich boyfriend. He lives in the same neighborhood as Qin Sheng and Miao Miao."

"Since it's the same neighborhood, why don't you give me a ride with you?"

Upon seeing this, Qin Sheng immediately put on a smile, appearing very adept at handling things, and quickly said, "Okay, Grandma, please get in the car. It's on the way."

Bai Zhilan didn't stand on ceremony and quickly walked to the passenger seat, sitting down with a "thump".

Throughout the journey, Wang Miaomiao's eyes were fixed on Qin Sheng, intentionally or unintentionally, her gaze filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to stare a hole through him.

Qin Sheng seemed completely oblivious to Wang Miaomiao's gaze, continuing to drive as if nothing was amiss.

A moment later, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the residential area. Qin Sheng turned to Bai Zhilan and said, "Grandma, we've arrived. Please get off here."

Seeing this, Bai Zhilan got out of the car. Coincidentally, as soon as she stood up, she saw a familiar figure step out of the car.

Despite her failing eyesight, Bai Zhilan recognized Wang Manyun at a glance.

At this moment, Wang Manyun was dressed exquisitely and looked very elegant, exuding a noble air.

"Manjun!" Bai Zhilan exclaimed excitedly, and hurriedly walked towards Wang Manjun. "It's Grandma!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Manyun looked up, her gaze lingering on Bai Zhilan's face for a moment. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, a mixture of surprise and disgust.

What's wrong with your eyes?

Bai Zhilan's expression changed slightly. "Let's...let's talk on the way."

Wang Manyun glanced around casually, then at Qin Sheng's car following not far behind Bai Zhilan, and Wang Miaomiao inside, a strange sense of smugness welling up inside her.

"Let's go!"

Bai Zhilan quickly followed behind, reaching out to grab Wang Manjun's right hand. But when her hand touched Wang Manjun's arm, she felt that the arm was unusually stiff, as if it were fake.

"Manjun, what happened to your hand..." Bai Zhilan asked in surprise.

Wang Manyun's face darkened, and she glared fiercely at Bai Zhilan, her eyes filled with anger and resentment. She didn't answer, but quickened her pace.

After returning home, Wang Manyun sat coldly on the sofa without saying a word.
