CHAPTER 579: CHAPTER 568: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER-IN-LAW OF A PRESTIGIOUS FAMILY

Zhong Lan actually deeply loved Duan Rongjing, otherwise she wouldn’t have ended up depressed.

She was a very kind person; even when bullied by Zhong Yin and suffering herself, she still protected her four major maidservants. The "Ye Qiu" of the previous life appreciated her difficulties, thus this task emerged.

It is hoped that in this life, Zhong Yin will receive her retribution, and that Zhong Lan and Duan Rongjing will become a loving couple, cherishing each other for life.

In this life, Zhong Lan was indeed very happy. The bond between her and Duan Rongjing was inseparable. But, she knew that this deep affection didn’t exist from the start.

Here, she especially thanks her main maidservant Ye Qiu, who taught her to be brave, who taught her to take initiative. Without her, her relationship with Duan Rongjing wouldn’t have progressed so smoothly. And whenever there were misunderstandings or setbacks in life, she always found a solution.

Even Duan Rongjing, under her subtle influence, transformed into a good husband and father who dearly loves his wife and children.

Ye Qiu was like a stabilizer, solidifying her life perfectly.

"Task completed, proceed to the next world?"

"Why was there no task plot last time?" Ye Qiu’s icy gaze fixed on System 001.

In a place she couldn’t see, 001 sweated a cold drop, trembling with fear, almost in tears, what could it do? It’s just a small robot; it cannot control everything, can it?

"System malfunction, task completed, proceed to the next world?" It dared not speak more to Ye Qiu, leaving only this line of text.

"Malfunction? Is it fixed now?"

"Malfunction repaired, proceed to the next world?"

The small system felt it could hardly bear the pressure from this superior, only wishing she would leave quickly.

Fortunately, even though Ye Qiu had his suspicions, he didn’t dwell on it too much and clicked "Yes" before leaving.

"Dad, can you please stop gambling? Do you know how tough my life is at the Li family?" Ye Qiu had just crossed over when he heard this sentence. Then, the person who spoke seemed unable to bear the sadness and stormed out crying, leaving suppressed sobs outside the door.

Ye Qiu closed his eyes and began to recall the storyline in his mind. It turns out this world was from a sweet romance novel, where he was a gambler, and his daughter was the sister-in-law of the female lead.

The female lead is Li Xinyi, the daughter of Pengcheng Group’s Chairman, Li Pengcheng. She grew up in a happy and perfect family and had a sweet and pure personality. As an adult, she fell in love with Gu Mingshen, the neighbor boy she grew up with, who started to feel a possessive type of love for her as she matured. Their romance was natural, without any melodramatic cruel love stories, and they soon became a loving and happy couple, leading a blissful life together. The only discord in her life was her sister-in-law.

The female lead’s sister-in-law, also the original owner’s daughter Ye Chan, was not only capable but also very beautiful. While the female lead was of the sweet and charming kind, the original owner’s daughter was of the strikingly elegant kind.

Ye Chan came from an ordinary background but was impressive on her own. She excelled academically from a young age and graduated from Qingbei University, the top institute in Zhongcai Country. She got into Pengcheng Group during her internship and later fell in love and married Chengyu, the brother of the female lead.

Although Ye Chan came from a modest family, her outstanding personal qualities meant that her marriage faced no objections from Chengyu’s parents. Moreover, Li Xinyi was particularly fond of her intelligent and beautiful sister-in-law.

However, no matter how formidable Ye Chan was, she had a father who always held her back, and that was Ye Qiu. Believing he could start enjoying life after his daughter married into a wealthy family, Ye Qiu quit his job and began indulging in lavish spending every day.

As the operations manager of Pengcheng Group, Ye Chan had saved a good amount of money before her marriage, but eventually, all of it dwindled away when "Ye Qiu" developed a drug addiction.

When Chengyu found out about "Ye Qiu’s" gambling, although he repaid the gambling debts once, he proclaimed he would cut off relations and no longer associate with him. But Ye Qiu was still Ye Chan’s father, having raised her alone for many years, how could she just abandon him?

So, after she sold some of her wedding jewelry to pay off Ye Qiu’s debts, her relationship with Chengyu gradually cooled down.

According to Ye Qiu, the money Ye Chan had made working for the Li family over the years was way more than this; the 1.2 million gambling debt was less than her annual salary from the previous year. Chengyu’s handling of the situation with such a small amount of money clearly indicated his disdain for his father-in-law.

But the situation was beyond their control, what more could Ye Chan say?

However, this was not the ultimate reason for Ye Chan’s tragedy. The couple ended up divorcing because Ye Chan, after three years of marriage, had not been able to conceive a child for the Li family, and medical tests revealed that she was infertile.

This news shocked everyone. The Li family had only a son and a daughter, and the daughter was bound to marry out, leaving only the son to inherit the family assets. If the daughter-in-law couldn’t bear children, what was the point in marrying her?

Under the pressure from Mr. Li and Mrs. Gao, Chengyu eventually had an affair, and the other woman became pregnant with his child.

What disgusted Ye Qiu and Ye Chan even more was, because Ye Chan was exceptionally skilled, Pengcheng Group still couldn’t afford to let her go. The Li family didn’t allow her to divorce Chengyu but instead wanted to bring that child back and have Ye Chan raise it as her own son.

Having a child with his mistress was something Ye Chan was obviously unwilling to accept. Finally, after a heated conflict, she did divorce Chengyu, but since the group was still owned by Li Pengcheng, Ye Chan got nothing and ended up working for the Li family for nothing for three years, leaving with nothing to her name.

Although Ye Chan experienced pressure from the Li family after the divorce, thanks to her outstanding abilities, many prominent companies were still willing to hire her. However, with "Ye Qiu" relapsing into gambling and frequently creating disturbances at her workplace whenever he was short on cash, who would dare to employ her despite her capabilities?

Hence, this graduate from Qingbei could only work in a small city, earning a meager salary and avoiding her irresponsible father.

On his deathbed, Ye Qiu saw Ye Chan sending him off for the last time, appreciating his daughter’s hardships over the years and thus made a deal with the System, willing to offer his soul to let the System take good care of his daughter, granting him 24,000 Merit Points.

Ye Qiu opened his eyes and once again chose the Poison Scripture and Medicine Manual skills.

"Dad, come out for dinner." While Ye Qiu was silent, the crying outside had stopped a while ago, and after a moment, someone knocked on the door.
