After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2212 Extra 5

“Your second aunt didn’t come either, because she’s sick.” Luo Youdi’s eyes dimmed instantly when she mentioned Luo Youge.

"What illness? Which hospital?" Zhang Ran asked with concern. "I'll go see her tomorrow."

With Zhang Ran's help, Luo Youge escaped her abusive husband and opened a candle shop called Jieyuan. Her life got better and better, but as she got older, her health deteriorated.

She had a very difficult first half of her life, suffering from domestic violence for many years but rarely going to the hospital. Now that she's older, all the aftereffects have appeared, and she's frequently hospitalized.

Luo Yuan was the first to get married; he married right after graduating from university. His bride was his college classmate and his first love. The two had a daughter after their marriage.

Luo Youdi explained, "The couple didn't trust the caregiver, so they took turns going to the hospital to look after my second sister."

Zhang Ran nodded upon hearing this, "Luo Yuan is quite filial."

Luo Youdi smiled and said, "If he dares to be unfilial, I'll be the first to deal with him."

Mentioning Luo Yuan naturally brings to mind his two older brothers, Qian Yuanbao and Qian Yuancai, who are still living in their hometown.

Years ago, the two brothers went to Beijing to try and get back at Luo You, but they failed. In the end, they took the money and returned to their hometown. The brothers completely broke off relations over the division of the money.

Qian Yuanbao felt that as the eldest son, he should get a larger share.

Qian Yuancai disagreed and demanded that the pieces be divided equally, half for each person.

The two brothers had a fight, and in the end, they each got half.

Qian Yuanbao received his half of the money, built a new house, got married, farmed at home during the busy season, and went out to work during the off-season.

At first, the couple enjoyed a period of blissful happiness, until the birth of their eldest daughter tore away Qian Yuanbao's carefully crafted facade, revealing his filthy and foul soul.

He resented that his wife had given birth to a daughter, so he abandoned his wife and daughter at the hospital after they had just given birth and went home.

He forced his wife to have a second child right after she finished her postpartum confinement. When the baby was five months pregnant, it turned out to be a girl. She had an abortion, got pregnant again, and had another abortion.

The house was no longer filled with laughter; he had inherited the bad genes of a wealthy, violent man, and he beat and verbally abused his wife and daughters.

Laughter returned to the family only after their son was born, but the good times were short-lived. As the child grew up, expenses increased, and Qian Yuanbao could no longer support the whole family on his own. He started beating and scolding his wife, calling her a good-for-nothing who relied on him to support her.

The woman chose to go out to work, leaving her two children behind.

Less than a year later, the woman accepted the intense pursuit of another man and resolutely chose to leave with nothing in the divorce.

Qian Yuanbao didn't want a daughter, believing that women with children couldn't get married.

The woman took her daughter away and never returned.

As for Qian Yuancai, he took half of the money he had earned and went out to make his way in the world. He was quick-witted and initially made some money, but his cleverness backfired. He was too ruthless and eventually went astray and ended up in prison. He was only released in the last two years.

With nowhere else to go, they returned to their hometown and fought with Qian Yuanbao over the old house.

Luo Youdi spoke of the two brothers with disgust, "Those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear. The two brothers fought tooth and nail over the old house, neither willing to give in. In the end, they agreed to sell it and split the money. But no sooner had they sold it than the government announced demolition..."

Demolition? Zhang Ran remembered that around this time in her previous life, demolition workers discovered Luo Youge's remains in a sealed well.

Only then did everyone realize that Luo Youge had not eloped with a stranger in the middle of the night, but had been brutally murdered by Qian Fugui and his body dumped in the well in his backyard.

Luo Youdi: "...The two brothers changed their minds and wanted to go back to the old house, but the other party disagreed. So the two brothers called the police, and guess what happened?"

Zhang Ran scoffed: "Of course, the two brothers won the case. The reason is simple: self-built houses in rural areas do not have property ownership certificates, so the sale is invalid."

Luo Youdi sighed, "That's right, the court ruled in favor of the two brothers. After getting the house, they acted like scoundrels, claiming they had spent the money and refusing to return it. The other party lost both the house and the money, and in a fit of anger, they stabbed the judge and got themselves imprisoned."

“What’s this?” Zhang Ran said, mentioning another case. “The tenant had been renting the landlord’s house for more than ten years. Over time, the tenant started to treat the house as their own and stopped paying rent. The landlord got angry and sold the house. The tenant sued the landlord, and the court ruled in favor of the tenant. The landlord gave a portion of the proceeds from the sale to the tenant.”

Luo Youdi: "..."

The topic then turned to the two brothers. "We agreed that we would cut off all ties and never see each other again by giving each other money. In the past few years, the two brothers have frequently come to Beijing. When they learned that my second sister was sick and hospitalized, they didn't even go to visit her. All they knew was to ask for money. They are two heartless bastards."

After the banquet, some people stayed overnight at the manor, while others left by car.

As night fell and the moon rose, a van quietly drove into the estate.

Zhang Ran was drinking tea in her study when Fu Qin burst in excitedly, "Xiao Yue, a big star has come to see you."

"A big star?" Zhang Ran raised an eyebrow slightly. "Have him come to my study to see me."

"Who is it?" Fu Qin's face was full of gossip. "Is it your boyfriend?"

"Former chef and lover." Zhang Ran didn't hide anything and briefly recounted how she met He Yunfan.

Fu Qin's excitement vanished instantly, replaced by caution. "This kind of person is clearly after your money. What's he doing here? If you're embarrassed, I'll help you kick him out."

Zhang Ran looked at her amusedly, "How could I be embarrassed? You know how thick-skinned I am. It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement. Please invite them in."

"Alright then." Fu Qin added worriedly, "I'll stand guard outside the door for a while. Call me if you need anything."

Xinghua, who had been standing guard nearby, said, "...I will protect the teacher."

Fu Qin seemed not to hear, and quickly left to invite He Yunfan in. As she left, she secretly winked at Zhang Ran, implying that she should wait outside the door.

Over the course of ten years, He Yunfan rose from obscurity to become a top-tier celebrity through his hard work and acting skills, winning numerous awards.

With fame comes controversy, and his female fans don't allow him to date or get married.

Sasaeng fans secretly follow him, even sneaking into his home or hotel, stealing his personal belongings, and harassing him recklessly.

Therefore, He Yunfan always went out fully armed, afraid of being recognized.

After he sat down, he took off his hat and placed it on the sofa beside him, then took off his glasses and placed them on the coffee table. His gaze lingered on Zhang Ran's features. "Long time no see."

Back then, Zhang Ran suddenly went abroad. He thought she was just going on a short trip, but he never expected it to be ten years, a full ten years!

"Hmm," Zhang Ran replied indifferently.

People in the entertainment industry are very meticulous and have strict control over their appearance and physique. Although ten years have passed, He Yunfan has not only not aged, but has become even more mature and charming.
