Anning’s small mouth rattled off a slew of words, making Mrs. Yan tremble with anger.

"Shut up."

Mrs. Yan nearly hurled the water cup at Anning: "Is this how you talk to your elders? Yan Anning, don’t forget you’re also a Yan."

Anning sneered: "Elders? I recall that a few days ago I just severed ties with you all, and also returned the house you bought me. I have no connection with the Yan Family now."

"Returning the house is enough?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Mrs. Yan, angry beyond measure, uttered: "I gave birth to you, fed you Yan Family’s meals, spent Yan Family’s money raising you. How do you account for that? Severing ties isn’t just something you can declare."

Anning looked at Mrs. Yan with a mocking smile: "I didn’t ask you to give birth to me, did I? Didn’t you tell me when I was little that my birth was an accident, a result of your inability to control yourselves? So now you want to settle this accidental account with me? Since you gave birth to me, you’re responsible for bringing me up. Remember, abandonment is a crime. Considering the Yan Family’s reputation, you wouldn’t abandon me. You had to give birth to me due to bodily reasons and raise me also because of the law. Why settle the score with me now? I would rather not have been born, or you could have abandoned me right after I was born."

Anning intentionally provoked Mrs. Yan with these words.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yan nearly fainted from anger.

"You, you ungrateful thing."

Anning smiled and pointed at Yan Zhengnan: "Ungrateful as I may be, I’m not as ungrateful as him. Why don’t you scold him? At least I didn’t encourage my dad to find a mistress, unlike him. I only spoke a few normal words, and look at how mad you’ve become. Were those words from Yan Zhengnan even human words? Imagine how mad the sister-in-law must be."

Anning was truly waiting here for Mrs. Yan.

Her words blocked Mrs. Yan, who couldn’t let out another word.

Si Linna wiped her tears and firmly stared at Mrs. Yan: "Madam Yan, go back and tell Yan Anhua, that I’m filing for divorce. Tell him to prepare, if he disagrees, I’ll sue him for fraud marriage, and it won’t be me who’s embarrassed."

Mrs. Yan wanted to persuade Si Linna further.

But Anning retorted: "I suggest you stop dreaming, if the sister-in-law gets really upset and spreads this issue around, would the Yan Family still want to stay in Hai City?"

Yan Zhengnan noticed Si Linna was determined to divorce.

He tugged at Mrs. Yan, and looking at Si Linna showed a reluctant expression: "Mom, are you really leaving me?"

Si Linna gave a bitter smile: "Xiao Nan, you were the one who abandoned mom first. I’m divorcing your dad, you go with him, since he and your uncle won’t mistreat you. Xiao Nan, maybe we mother and son are just not destined, after I divorce your dad, just consider you have no mom, don’t come looking for me later, I’ll also pretend I don’t have a son. Don’t worry, even if I become a beggar, I won’t beg at your home."

Si Linna spoke utter decisiveness.

She was resolute, wanting nothing, neither husband, son, nor brother, they all were ungrateful wolves, what’s the point in having them, just to bite her behind her back?

Not to mention, she found it repulsive to stay with them.

Si Linna glanced at Mrs. Yan again: "Please pass on my words to Madam Yan. I hope to complete the divorce within three days, if Yan Anhua wants to delay it, I have proof of his infidelity and marriage fraud, I wouldn’t mind posting it online."

After saying this, Si Linna dragged Anning away.

Mrs. Yan shouted in anger: "Divorce, anyone who doesn’t divorce is a bastard, Si Linna, don’t regret it."

Anning turned back and chuckled: "No regrets, the sister-in-law won’t regret it, but who will in the future is uncertain."

"Ungrateful traitor."

Mrs. Yan glared at Anning and cursed viciously.

Anning remained unfazed and smiled: "You’re wrong, I’m just too righteous, with a very correct moral view, I’m doing justice for my kin. Madam Yan should applaud me."

Mrs. Yan, again nearly out of breath from anger.

Si Linna and Anning left the private kitchen, with Mrs. Yan chasing after them.

She reached out to Si Linna: "Where are the car keys, the car you drive is also Yan’s."

Si Linna angrily threw the car keys to Mrs. Yan, and left with Anning in a taxi.

Inside the taxi, Anning asked Si Linna: "Sister-in-law, are we still gonna watch a movie?"

Si Linna gritted her teeth: "Watch, why not, some scumbags shouldn’t affect our mood."

Anning smiled: "Good, but I can’t call you sister-in-law anymore."

Si Linna paused: "Why? No matter how bad things get between me and the Yans, I won’t be mad at you. You will always be my sister."

Anning beamed: "How about I call you sister from now on?"

Si Linna laughed too: "Great, now you’re truly my sister."

Anning cuddled Si Linna’s arm and whined a while, then asked her: "Sis, you’ll make sure Anhua pays for the divorce, right?"

Si Linna shook her head: "I don’t want Yan Family’s belongings, nor to bicker with them, a clean break it is."

"Is it for Xiao Nan?"

Anning understood Si Linna’s sentiment.

After all, Yan Zhengnan was Si Linna’s child she bore for ten months. No matter how harsh she declared, she considered Yan Zhengnan; if she tangled with Yan Family, it’d make it tough for him.

Si Linna laughed with resignation, yet her smile was heartbreaking: "As a mother, this is the last thing I can do for him. From now on, I’ll pretend I never had him."

Anning sighed: "Sister, aren’t you unlucky, thinking for others but what do others do?"

"Just want peace of mind."

Si Linna smiled and poked Anning: "When you marry and have kids, you’ll understand how I feel."

Anning fully understood.

For a mother to be harsh to her children is extraordinarily challenging, at times, even when the children hurt the parents deeply, the parents struggle to be ruthless.

Parents treasure kids so much that they’d pay with their lives, just wishing their kids to be safe, joyous, and happy.

"If my mom were as good as you, it would be so much better."

Anning couldn’t help but lament: "Aren’t I unlucky to encounter such a family, but I’m also quite fortunate to have a sister always by my side."

She hugged Si Linna’s arm: "Sis, going forward just the two of us depending on each other, don’t leave me, I’m relying on you this lifetime."

Anning’s words instilled a sense of responsibility in Si Linna; suddenly, she felt more secure.

The taxi driver overheard Anning and Si Linna’s chat and couldn’t resist asking: "Are you two sisters-in-law or siblings? I’m increasingly confused."

Anning laughed, not hiding: "She’s my former sister-in-law, but she’s soon to divorce my brother, then she’ll officially be my sister. I was kicked out for defying a marriage alliance set by my family, and she wants a divorce due to my brother’s infidelity. We’re both unfortunate souls, left to rely on each other."

The driver felt sorry for the women: "You two are indeed quite unfortunate."

He advised Si Linna: "Young lady, there’s no obstacle in the world insurmountable, open your heart, life goes on after leaving a scumbag, it might even get better."

"Thanks for your kind words."

Anning jokingly added: "My sister and I will surely lead better lives, we’ll reach the summit, turn into white-rich-beautiful, and marry rich-handsome men."

The driver was amused by Anning: "With that mindset, it’s good. Life, after all, is like this. As long as one remains open-minded, any adversity can be overcome. I recently drove a handsome young man, looked even better than TV stars, entered the car crying, totally broken, turned out his girlfriend dumped him. Honestly, how blind his girlfriend must be to break up with such a good-looking guy. I even told him not to be too sad, that I’d introduce him to my daughter, who’s his age."

Anning amusedly asked: "When did you meet the guy?"

The driver named a date, Anning pointed at herself: "Uncle, introducing your daughter to him is unnecessary, because I’ve reunited with him."
