In the end, under Su Yan’s constant questioning, Butler Wu finally told her everything.

It turned out that the marriage between Yun Yi and Su Yan’s mother, Lu Juan, was a political marriage, but Yun Yi really liked Su Yan’s mother.

Lu Juan was a very gentle person. She spoke in a soft voice, afraid that she would scare someone. She always had a warm and gentle smile on her face.

Lu Juan didn’t seem to be angry at all. No matter what she did, she was always gentle and kind to everyone. Occasionally, some people would try to play tricks behind her back because Lu Juan was too gentle.

She listened to her family’s words and married Yun Yi, becoming the future head madam of the Yun family. Lu Juan was very happy and satisfied. However, the first time Lu Juan encountered a mishap in her life was Yun Yi.

Yun Yi could be said to be dignified, but he could also be said to be cold and proud.

At that time, Yun Yi was still young and didn’t like Lu Juan, who was suddenly forced to marry him. However, no matter how unhappy he was, Yun Yi didn’t treat Lu Juan lightly. The two of them treated each other with respect.

Later on, Lu Juan gave birth to Su Yan, and their relationship reached its peak. It almost became a situation where normal people had feelings for each other before they flirted.

However, at this moment, something happened. Lu Juan still felt that Su Yan’s appearance was not exquisite enough and was not at the level she wanted.

On the first year of Su Yan’s birthday, the family prepared to celebrate for her. However, when it was almost time for dinner, they couldn’t find Su Yan no matter what, and even Lu Juan was nowhere to be found.

Then, one of the housekeepers said that in the afternoon, she seemed to have seen Lu Juan bring Su Yan out. She even called Lu Juan a few times, but Lu Juan ignored her as if she did not hear her.

Initially, no one thought that this would be a big matter. They just wanted to call Lu Juan and ask her to bring Su Yan back quickly.

Unexpectedly, after the call went through, Lu Juan kept stammering. After Old Master Yun lost his temper, Lu Juan said that she was outside and it wasn’t convenient for her to go back.

However, at that moment, there was a call from the hospital. The people from the Yun family immediately felt that something was wrong. After repeated questioning, Lu Juan finally told them where she was.

Hearing that it was a plastic surgery hospital, the members of the Yun family were all dumbfounded. They didn’t understand why it was like this. They didn’t know what Lu Juan was thinking. The child was still so young. How could they see the features of such a young child?

However, Lu Juan had brought the baby for plastic surgery.

That day, they naturally did not celebrate Su Yan’s birthday. In fact, because the young Su Yan was tired from the trip, she immediately fell asleep with tears in her eyes after returning to the Yun family’s old residence. Her small face with baby fat was puffed up, looking like she was living a peaceful life.

Downstairs, the Yun family was having a fight with Lu Juan.

They didn’t know if it was because they didn’t notice it before or because they didn’t take it seriously, but it was only until now that they discovered that Lu Juan had a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, to the point where she felt uncomfortable even when the cutlery wasn’t symmetrical.

In the past, Old Master Yun only felt that the house was clean and tidy. But now that he knew the whole story, he looked at the neatly arranged items in the house and felt that all of them were cold and devoid of warmth.

After that, the Yun family gave Lu Juan two choices. One was to see a psychiatrist and treat her obsessive-compulsive disorder. The other was to divorce Yun Yi.

Lu Juan could even bring Su Yan, who was so young, for plastic surgery because she felt that Su Yan’s looks were not exquisite enough. They don’t know what terrible things she will do in the future.

Lu Juan didn’t want to seek treatment, nor did she want to divorce Yun Yi. After hearing Old Master Yun’s words, she immediately knelt on the ground and begged Old Master Yun to give her another chance. She definitely wouldn’t do it again.

However, Old Master Yun was unmoved because of his granddaughter.

In the end, Lu Juan actually committed suicide that night.

Of course, this suicide did not succeed, but it made Old Master Yun furious. He pointed a trembling finger at Lu Juan and asked, “You actually dared to commit suicide on this day. How is your daughter going to celebrate her birthday in the future? Do you want her to remember that she had a mother who committed suicide on her birthday after failing to get her plastic surgery?”

However, Lu Juan could no longer listen to Old Master Yun’s words. She only treated Yun Yi as her only life-saving straw. She reached out and grabbed Yun Yi’s pants with her bloody hands, pleading, “A night as husband and wife is a hundred days’ worth of grace. We’ve been together for so long. Can you please beg Dad to not divorce us?”

Yun Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the hand that was grabbing his pants. Then, he pulled out his pants cleanly and said coldly, “Maybe you really should see a psychiatrist. If you didn’t commit suicide, I might still be able to live with you. But you actually committed suicide on your daughter’s birthday. Just thinking about it makes me feel scared.”

After saying this, Yun Yi turned around and left, completely ignoring how much remorse and helplessness the crying woman behind him was feeling.
