I Got Together with Mom's Mortal Enemy

My next novel, Her Vile Ways, is at the very bottom~

After yet another fight with her mother, Ran Xi runs out of the house on a winter night wearing nothing but a thin nightdress.

A car stops in front of her, and the window rolls down. A beautiful woman asks with concern, “Do you need help?”

Ran Xi recognizes her: Kong Lingyi, her mother's sworn enemy, with whom her mother has a truly terrible relationship.

She's so cold she can barely speak steadily. The woman gets out, drapes a warm coat over her, and opens the car door for her herself. “Get in.”

That night, once Ran Xi has calmed down, she belatedly realizes she shouldn't be staying at this woman's house.

The long message she sends her mother begging forgiveness gets nothing but a red exclamation mark. Ran Xi crouches in a corner and quietly cries, “Mom...”

The woman, who's been watching her from nearby, raises an eyebrow. “Who are you calling?”

Remembering the red exclamation mark in the chat, Ran Xi feels even more abandoned.

A mischievous thought suddenly comes to her. Her young eyes are full of defiance. “Is there anyone else here?”

“If you called me that in front of Ran Xu, I might be even happier.”

-

Ran Xi's relationship with her mother remains as hostile as ever, and she gradually forms the habit of running to Kong Lingyi whenever they have a disagreement.

Hoping to mend her relationship with her mother, Ran Xi asks the woman to help her.

Kong Lingyi has been her mother's sworn enemy for years, and Ran Xi knows the two must understand each other very well.

The day the woman takes Ran Xi home, she drops her usual hostility toward Ran Xu and kindly advises her, “When a child misbehaves, you need to discipline her properly.”

What Ran Xu doesn't expect is that Ran Xi is just as spoiled and willful in front of Kong Lingyi.

That night, rose petals cover the surface of the bathtub, hiding the broad red marks on Ran Xi's skin.

The woman presses her into the water with a cold expression, sending it splashing everywhere.

It's punishment for disobedience.

The next novel, Her Vile Ways, has this blurb~

Lou Fan, the adopted daughter the Lou family abandoned years ago, has returned.

At the time, the Lou family is on the verge of ruin, while the woman has become a rising star in the business world. People in their circle all believe that the Lou family was too ruthless back then, and that this adopted daughter stole their fortune.

Lou Fan ignores the Lou family members trying to curry favor with her and walks straight toward Lou Yuezhen, the family's only daughter, who is being sheltered behind her mother.

Her hand rests on Lou Yuezhen's cheek, stroking it gently. “Your mother raised you well. You're very beautiful.”

The woman smiles tenderly, but her grip grows stronger, and her eyes brim with the desire for revenge.

This is the Lou family's precious darling. Lou Fan will destroy her with her own hands.

That night, Lou Yuezhen is forced to kneel by her side and kiss the liquor stains on the woman's forearm.

“Do you want to take back what belongs to the Lou family?” The woman presses a finger against her teeth. “Make me happy, and show me what you can do.”

-

This ugly relationship becomes the talk of the town, leaving a trail of misery. No one knows why it suddenly ends.

Lou Yuezhen leaves behind her life as a pampered heiress and finally becomes the person she has always wanted to be in a faraway place.

One rainy night before dawn, she goes out to buy medicine for a sick friend and receives a call from a familiar number.

A car stops not far in front of her, its headlights blinding her.

“Zhenzhen, I want to see you.”

Lou Yuezhen meets the woman's gaze from the driver's seat and knows she can never escape her again.

This woman always presents herself as the gentlest person in the world, but in truth, she has a heart of stone.

But in her next words, the woman makes a rare plea.

“Come back and see me just once. I'll give you everything I have.”

Her fortune, her heart, and her loyalty.
