Her step mother was trying to make her life a living hell. But she was no longer the old Li Zi Yun who was yearning for love. Her boss was waiting for the moment when he could make her pay for what she took away from him. But she will endure it all. She had nothing to lose. She will not succumb to the situation. Li Zi Yun was now in a respectable position in one of the top companies. No one can take advantage of her any longer. She was going to play by her rules. P.S: I Don't own the book cover.

Wang Yu's men had somehow easily hacked into Wang Yiran's phone mic and camera to make the device transmit live feed to them. So from the moment they hacked, they were able to follow up on what she was saying and see what she was doing. Along with the message they sent regarding her necklace found in the old factory, they had sent the link to fool Wang Yiran and had easily gotten hold of her phone. Wang Yu was able to hear everything she said and he could see that she was trembling on her way to see Zhao Ming Mei. On his way to meet the Zhao's, Wang Yu asked Meng Jian to join him at the company. He wanted more people on his side to pressure the Zhao family if things did proceed the way he wanted.
The entire Zhao family was in the building so Wang Yu did not have to go through much trouble to get them together. When Wang Yu walked in and told them he will show the person who was responsible for Li Zi Yun's kidnapping, they followed him without a word. They were quite surprised when Wang Yu took them to Zhao Ming Mei's office but they waited patiently for him to say something. They knew that Wang Yu would not come to their place and cause unnecessary trouble. Li Zi Yun was questioning Wang Yu with her eyes, but he did not answer and was holding her hands tightly in his. Zhao Ming Mei would have been able to see her entire family waiting outside if she had not shut the blinds but her bad time… the closed blinds turned her life upside down. If Wang Yiran had not come straight to Zhao Ming Mei and if Zhao Ming Mei had not opened her mouth and told the truth, no one would have found out the truth. There was no evidence against Zhao Ming Mei and she would have escaped easily if Wang Yiran had not argued with her.
When Wang Yu reached the door to Zhao Ming Mei's office along with Li Zi Yun and the Zhao family, Zhao Ming Mei and Wang Yiran's voice was loud enough for them to clearly understand their conversation and the live feed was not necessary. The manager was waiting outside at the door without signaling Zhao Ming Mei. He was loyal to the Zhao family and not Zhao Ming Mei and knew that Zhao Ming Mei's life was over now.
Li Zi Yun looked pale as a ghost as she heard them speak while Wang Yu looked like he was ready to strangle them to death. Everyone in the family was looking shell shocked as this was not something they had expected from Zhao Ming Mei. They knew that Zhao Ming Mei was cunning but did not know that she was evil to this extent. Though they had not heard the entire conversation, it was enough for them to know what they were talking about and clearly heard Zhao Ming Mei confess that she was the one who planned everything.
When Wang Yiran opened the door, seeing the entire Zhao family there, both Zhao Ming Mei and Wang Yiran stood there frozen. Zhao Ming Mei was looking at everyone's face to see if they have heard anything. At that moment, Meng Jian walked in with Meng Sen Xi and Zhao Ming Mei was scared out of her wits.
Zhao Ming Mei tried to compose herself, but she could not stop stammering, "What… what is everyone doing her? Did some… something happen?"
Wang Yiran looked at everyone's serious face and she spilled the truth, "It was not me. It was all Zhao Ming Mei. She wanted to kill Li Zi Yun the moment she knew that Li Zi Yun was from Zhao family."
The entire Zhao family was in front of her and she was not ready to face them alone in this situation. She saw her brother standing there but she was sure that he would never help her, so she had to save herself.
Zhao Ming Mei murmured under her breath, "I know. You're totally useless."
Before Li Zi Yun could move towards Zhao Ming Mei, Zhao Ming Mei's mother Hu Cai Hong slapped Zhao Ming Mei on her cheeks. Zhao Ming Mei who was not expecting this lost her balance and fell on the floor.
Hu Cai Hong screamed at the top of her voice, "Is this how we brought you up? IS THIS HOW YOU REPAY THE TRUST WE HAD ON YOU?"
Zhao Dong Hai tried to hold his mother back, but she was having none of that, "NO. Don't stop me. All of us including her knew how much your aunt wanted a child but she wanted to kill her child. How can you be so evil? You had the heart to even kill fully grown unborn babies… are you human?" saying so Hu Cai Hong was slapping her non stop.
Never for a second did Zhao Ming Mei think that she would be in such a situation. She was the princess of Zhao family. Now everyone was looking at her with disgust.
Zhao Ming Mei tried to speak but words failed her, "I… I…"
Grandfather Zhao saw all this drama unfold before his eyes. Though he initially was not happy that Meng Xuan Li was from the mafia, after few years it was not a huge issue. Meng Xuan Li was not part of the mafia anymore so Grandfather Zhao had let them be. The fact that his grandkids had died had still been making him feel guilty all these years that he had not done anything about it. He had tried to find out about the murdered but the trail went cold and he could not find anything no matter how much his men searched. Grandfather Zhao had been overjoyed when he found out that Li Zi Yun was actually his granddaughter but the death of the babies had affected him much even though he did not express it. He was also feeling guilty that he had not protected his granddaughter all these years and he had asked his men to find out who kidnapped Li Zi Yun at all costs.
Seeing that the murdered was actually his other granddaughter he just could not take it. This was the main and only reason why he did not want Zhao Ming Mei to become an heir. Grandfather Zhao had always thought of Zhao Ming Mei as a cunning fox and he knew that she would not mind throwing them out of the family when she comes to power. Though Zhao Ming Mei had thought that she could not become the heir because she was a woman, this was the only reason.
Wang Yu went straight to Grandfather Zhao and said to him, "I know that my wife is your granddaughter but Zhao Ming Mei has killed my children and harmed MY wife. I want justice."
Grandfather Zhao looked at his son and without a second thought said to him, "Transfer everything that Ming Mei owns to my name. I am removing her from the family register"
Zhao Ming Mei could not believe her ears. Her family cannot do this to her. She was the Zhao family princess, "Grandpa No NOOOOOO…. You cannot do this me. You Can Never Do This To Me. I'm Zhao Ming Mei"
Grandfather Zhao replied calmly, "No you're no longer part of Zhao family."
Zhao Ming Mei's mother Hu Cai Hong was sobbing silently at the side with her husband holding her. They knew the rules of the family and were very well aware that no one can change Grandfather Zhao's mind once he had made up his mind.
Grandfather Zhao turned to Wang Yu and said, "You can take her away. You won't be held responsible for anything that happens to her after this and…"
He continued with his eyes on Wang Yiran, "We also expect justice for what happened to my granddaughter"
Wang Yu did not object and said without hesitation, "Wang Yiran is yours to deal with"
Wang Yiran wanted to run away from that place, "No… Mother will not let you. Noooo…."
Since it was Zhao family building, their guards did not let her run away from that place and blocked her before she could enter the elevator.
Wang Yu wanted to confirm so he asked Wang Yiran, "She knows what you did?"
The moment Wang Yu asked the question, he knew the answer to that. His mother had stayed quiet even after Wang Yiran had killed his children and he was not ready to let it go.
Grandfather Zhao warned Wang Yu, "Not a word gets out about this."
"You have my word"
The entire time, Li Zi Yun did not utter a single word. She felt like she had known the entire time and finally even when everything was over she felt empty inside.
In the meeting, Zhao Dong Hai was unanimously elected as the Vice President. As Grandfather Zhao said, they did not want anyone to know what happened before a few minutes to Zhao Ming Mei so they had proceeded with the meeting and everyone left the place.
