It could be said that Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingye's fates changed after the Xiao Family was smashed, robbed, injured, and crippled.

That was the end of their family's bad luck and also the twist in their fate.

Those who were not strong would always be bullied.

Therefore, Xiao Lingye became stronger, and so did Xiao Lingyu. However, no one expected the end of Xiao Tong's life.

When Xiao Lingyu rushed back, she did not even get to see Xiao Tong one last time. Mother Xiao was so angry that she hit, scolded, and scolded her.

Xiao Lingyu cried her heart out, filled with regret.

So what? Xiao Tong was still dead.

Before Xiao Tong left, he wanted to see his mother the most, but he didn't get that wish. He lay in the hospital bed. His small eyes kept looking at the door, not daring to miss anything.

His grandmother told him that his mother would come back to see him. When his mother returned, she would definitely give him a good hug. Xiao Tong missed his mother, and he wanted his mother to hug him. After he got that hug, he could leave in peace.

But he failed to persist until his mother's return. He left with deep regret.

...

Xiao Lingyu's tears fell like rain.

She slowly sat on the ground and leaned against the door. Her entire body trembled, and she was heartbroken.

So what if she had her own career later on?

So what if she had the ability to take revenge?

Xiao Tong was gone forever. Xiao Tong only wanted his mother's hug, but Xiao Lingyu didn't even once glance at him. It was not until Xiao Tong's death that Xiao Lingyu understood her mistake. Xiao Tong was the most innocent party.

However, she placed all the blame on Xiao Tong. She treated him like he was the source of all her despair. This was the cruelest thing she could do as a mother. Xiao Tong's death carried both Xiao Tong and Xiao Lingyu's regret.

Therefore, after her rebirth, Xiao Lingyu was merciless with her revenge. However, she was also anxious about Xiao Tong's arrival. Ever since her rebirth, Xiao Lingyu had been controlling herself not to think so much about her previous life.

However, when Old Master Gong mentioned those flowers, it triggered her memories.

Before Old Master Gong arrived, Xiao Lingyu thought Lan Hongxing snatched those flowers just to annoy the Xiao Family. But now she understood, Lan Hongxing or someone behind him had seen through the value of the flowers and had Lan Hongxing steal all of them.

After Lan Hongxing left, the Xiao Family called the police. However, the police refused to start a file. Then, the Xiao Family went to the county police station and demanded that they arrest the Lan Family for intentional injury, smashing, robbery. Similarly, no one paid attention to them. They said they wouldn't handle village conflict and chased them away.

Now that she thought about it, Xiao Lingyu realized the person who told Lan Hongxing to steal the flowers must have connections with the county police.

Lan Hongxing's father knew the deputy chief of Xing An City's police station, so it was understandable that they were chased away there. However, what about the police at Xing Yin County? Grandpa Xiao had some connection there, but even so, they couldn't do anything to the Lan Family.

There had to be a reason behind this. The reason was clear to Xiao Lingyu now. The person who wanted the flowers was someone with a powerful status. The Xiao Family had no choice but to suffer the pain back then. This meant that the Xiao Family had an enemy that they hadn't even seen yet.
