Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Gu Tingfeng's affair was with his new secretary. In less than three months, they ended up in bed together.

When Shen Lan stormed back to Shanghai, the two were already inseparable, deeply in love.

What followed was naturally a fierce online battle.

Shen Lan fired her secretary, and Gu Tingfeng made a scene demanding a divorce.

After months of commotion, it was finally Grandma Gu who stepped in and calmed Gu Tingfeng down: He was not allowed to divorce!

Considering the intertwined interests between families, Shen Lan's competence, and the fact that Gu Tingfeng had passed his mental breakdown, it was clear that...

He finally calmed down.

Gu Tingfeng made a promise to sever his relationship with his secretary and return to his family.

The secretary was a ruthless character. When she realized that Gu Tingfeng wanted to dump her, she immediately threw out a pregnancy certificate, hoping to use the child to climb the social ladder.

Shen Lan spent a lot of money to settle things with her—she had to abort the child and leave with the money.

Although the marriage was saved, the whole process left Shen Lan physically and mentally exhausted.

Her husband's betrayal, in particular, became a thorn in her heart, causing her immense pain whenever she thought about it.

At the same time, she regretted giving birth to her daughter even more.

If he hadn't left to give birth, he wouldn't have given other women an opportunity.

We've been married for over ten years, and we believed our relationship was deep and we shared the same goals. I never imagined that just a few months apart would cause our ever-confident fortress of love to crumble completely.

Divorce is something I'm unwilling to accept, and it's complicated.

The two families' businesses are closely intertwined; their fortunes are intertwined, and neither can act arbitrarily.

But if she doesn't get a divorce, she can't get over her inner turmoil.

Shen Lan fell into extreme internal strife and even became an alcoholic.

.......

Gu Tingfeng and his family of three usually live in Shanghai and rarely return to their old house, only coming back for a couple of days on major holidays. Even after they moved back to Beijing two years ago, this remained the case.

Gu Jiangyin knew this from the time she could remember:

There's an unspoken division in the family: her grandparents favor her, her mother favors her brother, and her father turns a blind eye.

Grandma Gu always felt that she was the one who insisted on having this granddaughter, so she had a strong sense of responsibility towards Gu Jiangyin.

Especially when she saw that Shen Lan not only disliked this daughter, but seemed to hate her, Grandma Gu's desire to make amends became even stronger, and she put her granddaughter first in everything.

The elderly couple have been taking care of their granddaughter around the clock since she was four months old.

Therefore, even though Gu Jiangyin only sees her parents a few times a year and her parents are not very affectionate towards her, she doesn't feel that she has any regrets about her life.

Gu Jiangyin had long known why her mother was always cold and distant towards her.

When Grandma chats with her old friends, she always likes to talk about their daughters-in-law.

They didn't hide their conversation from her, thinking she was too young to understand.

In fact, she was very precocious. Although she seemed to be playing attentively on the side, she had already heard everything they were talking about.

Regarding Gu Jiangyin, in addition to a series of conflicts that arose at birth, Old Madam Gu and Shen Lan also had serious disagreements on their educational philosophies later on.

Because Gu Jiangyin was not particularly healthy when she was a child, she had many minor ailments.

Grandma Gu believes that health and happiness are the most important things, and advocates letting children be themselves and play however they want, as long as they are healthy.

Shen Lan, however, believed that a young girl should act like a young girl, dignified and elegant, with the demeanor of a well-bred lady. She envisioned her marrying into a wealthy family so she could be the matriarch of the household.

But when Shen Lan saw Gu Jiangyin, who was covered in dirt, brandishing a gun and leading a group of children running around shouting and yelling, she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

She doesn't know which cave this monkey came from; it's definitely not the daughter she wanted.

When I discussed parenting methods with my mother-in-law, she was dismissive and even proudly said:

"You don't know, our Yinyin is incredibly capable. Somehow she became the leader of the kids, even the kids from the next neighborhood come to pay her respects, they all call her Commander, hahahahaha!"

Shen Lan felt that discussing education with her mother-in-law was like talking to a brick wall, so she simply stopped caring about her daughter and let her be.

The happy life did not last long. Her grandfather passed away when Gu Jiangyin was in the second year of junior high school, and her beloved grandmother also left her when she was in the first year of senior high school.

When Grandma was seriously ill, Gu Tingfeng and Shen Lan moved back to the old house to take care of Grandma Gu and Gu Jiangyin.

After Old Mrs. Gu passed away, the relationship between Shen Lan and Gu Jiangyin, the mother and daughter, improved somewhat.

But the estrangement of many years could not be easily eliminated, and they still felt uncomfortable when they were alone together.

Influenced by their mother, the older brother, Gu Liqi, was also extremely unfriendly to his younger sister.

I don't know who instigated it, but it kept saying to Gu Jiangyin:

"You're just superfluous; we shouldn't have needed you."

"You stole my mother, I hate you."

"Don't even think about taking my property. It's all mine, and I won't give you a single penny."

When they were little, Gu Jiangyin would jump up and argue with him, but when she grew up, she thought he was an idiot and stopped paying attention to him.

Anyway, Gu Jiangyin didn't want to fight him for any family property: You can take it all.

With the heart of a young man, Gu Jiangyin still dreamed of one day wandering the world with a sword and upholding justice.

No, that's not the way it is in modern society.

Or perhaps I should abandon my studies and join the army to protect my country.

.......

Having been half-asleep all night, Gu Jiangyin felt dizzy and lightheaded when she got up to wash up in the morning.

She went downstairs to the restaurant for a meal, but she was alone.

Aunt Chen was busy serving her food, and knowing what she wanted to ask, she said it in advance:

"The master and mistress have gone out, and the young master is still not up."

Gu Jiangyin nodded without saying anything.

I quickly finished my meal and took the bus to school.

Upon seeing Gu Jiangyin, Tan Xiaozhu, the classmate sitting next to her, was startled:

"Yinyin, what's wrong? You look terrible, and your eyes are all dark circles."

Gu Jiangyin forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

On this day, Gu Jiangyin tried her best to cheer up and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, during evening self-study, she was still called to the office by her homeroom teacher, Mr. Wang.

"Gu Jiangyin, you don't seem to be in a good mood today. Is something wrong? If you have any difficulties, you can talk to the teacher about it," Teacher Wang asked with concern.

"It's nothing, teacher. I'm just under a lot of pressure and didn't sleep well last night," Gu Jiangyin replied, brushing her bangs aside as if to appear relaxed.

"Yes, the college entrance exam is in just over ten days, so it's normal to feel pressure. The school hopes you'll get the top score, but don't take it too seriously. Just relax and do your best."

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I will adjust."

"Yes, I believe in you." Teacher Wang smiled and patted her proud student on the shoulder. "Go study on your own."

After school, sitting in her own car, Gu Jiangyin felt that she couldn't go on like this.

If the situation continues to be poor, Teacher Wang will definitely communicate with the parents.

Given her family's current situation, she really doesn't want Teacher Wang to have any contact with her parents.

She sat upright, lost in thought:

She's about to take her college entrance exams, and once she's in college, she can work part-time to support herself. Even if the other family doesn't accept her and her mother insists she leave, she can still support herself.

"Hmm, it's alright." After analyzing the current situation, Gu Jiangyin came to a conclusion.

Gu Jiangyin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease: Focus on the exam first, we'll worry about everything else afterward. Come on, Gu Jiangyin, you can do it!

When I got home, the living room was quiet.

As she went upstairs, she passed the study and heard her parents talking inside.

The sound wasn't too loud or too soft; you should be able to hear it pretty accurately if you just leaned close to the door.

She wasn't sure if they were talking about her, and after a moment's hesitation, she gently leaned closer...
