Back to the 1980s: Becoming the Villain's Lucky Wife

The police were strictly professional. Shen Zhenshan broke his leg and could only chalk it up to bad luck. Afterward, he, Old Mrs. Shen, and Shen Xiaoya never appeared before Qin Jiao and Shen Yi again.

Perhaps they realized that whether they used soft tactics or hard ones, the couple, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi, remained completely unmoved.

So they were left to silently curse them, hoping their businesses would utterly fail and they would lose every last cent!

However, their curses seemed to backfire, because both Qin Jiao’s and Shen Yi’s businesses just kept getting better and better!

Qin Jiao heard from Jiang Xiaoyue that Meng Lanlan had adopted Shen Feng and Lin Nian’s daughter.

Jiang Xiaoyue said indignantly, ”You have no idea. The Shen Family is unbelievable. They sent that little girl straight to an orphanage. Meng Lanlan went there once, saw her, and decided to adopt her.”

Qin Jiao was rather surprised. ”Why would Meng Lanlan do that? Now that Lu Jiuan is dead, she can start a new life.”

Jiang Xiaoyue sighed. ”How is she supposed to start a new life? You don’t know the half of it. Lu Jiuan took a lot of money from the Meng Family, almost completely wiping out her parents’ savings. Then, when he ran off, he took what little money they had left. To make matters worse, Lu Jiuan never even officially married her. Meng Lanlan is in a truly miserable state right now.”

She’d lost both the man and the money.

That perfectly described Meng Lanlan’s situation.

Finally, Jiang Xiaoyue said resentfully, ”Letting that Lu Jiuan die just like that was getting off way too easy!”

Qin Jiao had always had a nagging feeling that Lin Nian and Lu Jiuan had died too easily. ’Besides,’ she thought, ’their crimes weren’t punishable by death. And those two were both very clever, with a strong will to survive.’

’So how did they just die?’

The fact that Meng Lanlan had adopted Lin Nian’s child also took Qin Jiao by surprise.

’But perhaps in this whole affair,’ Qin Jiao mused, ’Meng Lanlan, just like that one-year-old child, was the most innocent and pitiful victim.’

Qin Jiao pushed the thoughts from her mind and asked Jiang Xiaoyue with a smile, ”I heard the sales manager from the electronics company is pursuing you. Are you interested in him?”

Jiang Xiaoyue didn’t expect the topic to suddenly shift to her. She quickly replied, ”I already turned him down. I don’t want a long-distance relationship. Just look at you and Shen Yi—it’s so tough.”

Qin Jiao replied, ”That just means you don’t like him enough. If you really liked him, external factors like that wouldn’t be an issue.”

”I know, I know! If I meet someone I really like, I won’t let the chance slip by. But actually, I’ve had an idea... I want to go study fashion design.”

”That’s a great idea! Of course, you should. I’ll ask my mother-in-law for you later. She studied fashion design abroad.”

Du Liya was blissfully happy these days. It was as if all her past misfortunes had been completely spent during her time with Shen Zhengfeng.

Now, her marriage was harmonious, her children were healthy and successful, her grandchildren were adorable, and her elderly father was healthy and enjoying a long life.

She was truly a winner at life.

「Three years later.」

Dressed in a beige trench coat and high heels, Qin Jiao took off her sunglasses and watched the crowd flowing out of the arrivals gate.

A moment later, Jiang Xiaoyue, her hair in long waves, emerged pushing a suitcase. She said in pleasant surprise, ”Wow, I’m so flattered! The big boss herself came to pick me up.”

The words had barely left her mouth when she spotted Shen Yi, dressed in a sharp suit, walking toward them from a short distance away. Jiang Xiaoyue was even more stunned.

”You two actually came to pick me up together?”

Qin Jiao smiled. ”What are you thinking? Grandpa and Little Gu Duo are flying in today, so we came to get them. You’re just a convenient bonus.”
