My Sister-in-Law Is So Lucky? No One Knows I’m Raising Her Son for Her

Fourteen years ago, Jiang Lan and her sister-in-law gave birth on the same day. Her younger brother died in a car accident. Her husband, Shen Xiangming, knelt and begged her to raise her nephew as her own son, telling everyone the two children were twins, a boy and a girl. Softhearted, she agreed. And so she raised him for fourteen years. She quit her well-paid job and raised the two children in her arms, one on each side. She helped them with their homework and devoted herself to bringing up her adopted son, helping him excel in school and win countless awards. She cared for her in-laws and used her professional expertise to help her husband get promoted. She poured out her heart, ground it to pieces, and simmered it into a bowl of soup for the Shen family. She thought that even if they weren’t related by blood, fourteen years would be enough to warm their hearts. But just as her adopted son achieved success and fame, her husband appeared with his glamorous sister-in-law on his arm. Her adopted son announced that his aunt was the best mother in the world, then pointed at Jiang Lan in front of everyone and accused her of being a shameless homewrecker, a usurper, and a harsh, controlling lunatic. Only then did Jiang Lan learn that her sister-in-law, who had supposedly abandoned her child after her husband’s death, had never left at all. Her husband had kept her hidden away for fourteen years, living the comfortable life of a wealthy wife. Now that her son had grown up to be outstanding, she had come back to claim the position of lady of the house and take over everything Jiang Lan had worked so hard to build. Jiang Lan was only sad for one night. Looking at the daughter her husband’s family had ignored for fourteen years, she decided to start a new life with her. The next day, she flung a divorce agreement before her husband and sister-in-law. “If you can’t even live off someone else properly, then you don’t deserve to.” After the divorce, Jiang Lan returned to her profession, and her career flourished. Her ex-husband, Shen Xiangming, was exposed for academic fraud and blacklisted by the industry. In the end, he could only hide away in a tutoring center in the urban village, earning three thousand yuan a month. Watching them beg her to change her mind, Jiang Lan took the arm of the man who had been secretly in love with her for sixteen years. “Thank you for not cherishing me!”
