The school beauty pursued Yixiu relentlessly, but every time she received a cold reception. Yixiu was a heartless person who never paid attention to Lin Yixun. Eventually, even Lin Yixun began to feel disheartened and considered giving up, but then a turning point emerged.
By some twist of fate, the Leng Group, which had always operated smoothly, faced a crisis at this time. The CEO of Leng Group, overwhelmed by enormous debts and stress, jumped off the headquarters building on a sunny afternoon and died instantly.
In an instant, all the burdens of Leng Group fell on the shoulders of its heir, Yixiu.
Although Yixiu was a genius in computer programming and had founded his own software company in college, which was running well, the scale of his company could not compare to that of Leng Group.
Facing the crisis that Leng Group encountered, the inexperienced Yixiu struggled to cope. He sought help from friends who had good relations with Father Leng, but was met with closed doors one after another.
When the wall is about to collapse, everyone pushes. In times of prosperity, everyone is your friend, but in times of difficulty, those who called you brother are nowhere to be found.
Just when Leng Group was on the verge of collapse and Yixiu had nowhere to turn for help, the former mayor of A City extended an olive branch to him, using his authority to help Leng Group overcome the crisis.
Of course, all of this came with a condition—Yixiu had to become his son-in-law.
Despite feeling aggrieved, Yixiu endured the humiliation and agreed to the condition. He broke up with Cheng Ying and married Lin Yixun within a month.
Thus, Lin Yixun finally got what she wished for and became Yixiu’s wife.
Ouyang Hao read through the documents on his desk with an expressionless face, but his hands paused for a moment.
His gaze fell on the photograph in front of him, which was a close-up shot of a grand wedding with the bride and groom as the focus.
In the photo, Lin Yixun wore a white strapless wedding gown with a long train, her light veil draped behind her. Back then, her face did not yet have that long scar. She smiled radiantly under the sun, breathtakingly beautiful, her beauty meant for one person alone—Yixiu. Her heart and eyes were filled with Yixiu, leaving no room for anyone else.
But the man beside her had a face as indifferent as ever, devoid of any emotion or the joy of being a groom.
From this photograph, it was obvious that this marriage was doomed to be unhappy.
Indeed, the marriage lasted less than a year before ending unhappily.
For Yixiu, this marriage helped Leng Group out of its predicament. In just one year, he solidified Leng Group’s position in the IT sector, propelling it to the top of the industry.
But for Lin Yixun, it was a complete defeat. Yixiu spent that year turning Leng Group into a Fortune 500 company and gathering evidence of Father Lin’s abuse of power. He showed no mercy to his benefactor and personally sent him to prison.
With Father Lin in jail, Lin Yixun fell from a high-class lady to a person everyone condemned.
Yixiu showed no mercy to his ex-wife. After forcing her to drop out of school, he ruthlessly closed off all her pathways. He once harshly declared, "Any company that dares to hire Lin Yixun is challenging Leng Group."
