Chapter 7: Creating a Happy Life Through Own Hands

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What is Yuxin thinking? She’s actually together with Xu Yang and even got married. No, I have to talk to her and make sure she doesn’t fall into Xu Yang’s trap!” said Liu Yujuan.

Liu Yujuan’s expression turned ugly. She immediately took out her phone and dialed Zhao Yuxin’s number.

At that moment, Zhao Yuxin was nestled in Xu Yang’s arms, watching TV together with a happy smile on her face. The phone rang, and she picked it up to see that it was Liu Yujuan calling.

Although Zhao Yuxin didn’t consider Liu Yujuan as her mother and hadn’t saved her number, she still remembered it.

Liu Yujuan occasionally called Zhao Yuxin and tried to instill some materialistic ideas in her. But she remained unswayed and even grew to dislike Liu Yujuan more.

“Who is it?” Xu Yang asked as he glanced at Zhao Yuxin’s phone screen.

“It’s my mom,” Zhao Yuxin said as she moved away from Xu Yang’s embrace.

“I see, just take the call,” Xu Yang picked up the TV remote and muted the sound on the TV.

Xu Yang didn’t have a good impression of Liu Yujuan. When he was together with Zhao Yulu, he had a meal with Liu Yujuan, Yang Tiancheng, and Yang Jingcheng. They had all looked down on him with condescending eyes and belittled him.

They even suggested Xu Yang leave Zhao Yulu, as he would bring harm to her. That meal had hurt his dignity deeply. But he really liked Zhao Yulu and didn’t mind those comments. He believed that with his efforts, he could bring happiness to her life and change their opinions of him.

However, before Xu Yang could fulfill his promise, Zhao Yulu broke up with him.

“Okay.” Zhao Yuxin nodded and answered the call without speaking.

“Yuxin, I just heard from Yulu that you and Xu Yang got married?” Liu Yujuan asked bluntly. In fact, she sounded more like demanding an explanation. Her tone was stern, a bit angry, and even resentful.

“Yes, what’s the matter?” Zhao Yuxin asked with a surprisingly calm tone.

“What’s the matter? Do you know what a wrong decision you’ve made? Your decision like this will ruin your life! Before anyone knows about it, get a divorce from Xu Yang first thing tomorrow. That way, others wouldn’t mind if you found a new boyfriend and explained it in the future!” said Liu Yujuan. Her voice trembled with anger as she spoke.

“I believe my decision is right, and I actually think Yulu’s decision is problematic. I love Xu Yang, so I’m with him. As for the idea that this decision will ruin my life, it’s ridiculous. I think I’ve found a happy life.

“I know what you mean. You always view people from a materialistic perspective, thinking that Xu Yang’s background isn’t good enough to succeed in Jaster City. But let me tell you, I believe in Xu Yang. He will definitely succeed.

“I’m with the person I love, and that’s happiness. A happy life isn’t something given by others; it’s something we create for ourselves. Xu Yang might not have much right now, but I believe that as long as we work together, we’ll be able to live the happy life we want.” Zhao Yuxin delivered a long speech with sharp words.

On the other end of the call, Liu Yujuan fell into a momentary silence, taking some time to regain her composure. She asked, “Zhao Yuxin, are you trying to drive me crazy? All that creating a happy life through your own means, or through hard work and you can live the life you want was crap talk.

“If it were that easy, everyone in society would be living a good life. It seems that you still can’t change your way of thinking after coming out to society. If you don’t listen to me, when you’re suffocating under life’s pressures and turn into a haggard woman, you’ll regret it!” Liu Yujuan continued to scold with a stern tone.

The idea that working hard would lead to the life they wanted seemed reasonable for students. But to Liu Yujuan, her daughter, who had already left school, saying such things was incredibly naive and infuriating.

“You won’t see me regretting anything. Besides, you’re not a part of my life, and I don’t need you to meddle. Don’t call me in the future.”

After saying that, Zhao Yuxin hung up the phone.

“You…” Liu Yujuan’s face turned pale with anger, and she even felt like throwing away her phone. But considering that it was a new flagship model worth over eight thousand yuan, she hesitated to do so.

“It seems your daughter doesn’t listen to you,” Yang Tiancheng remarked.

“She’s really driving me crazy,” Liu Yujuan remained infuriated.

“Your daughter has nothing to do with us. But regarding Yulu, we still need to advise her more. We should encourage her to accept Chen Guanglei’s pursuit sooner, to attach herself to someone like Chen Guanglei, a rich heir. That way, our future will be worry-free,” Yang Tiancheng said cryptically.

“Right, I don’t care about Zhao Yuxin anymore, and I can’t control her either. We should focus on Yulu. We really should persuade her to get together with Chen Guanglei sooner,” said Liu Yujuan. She took a deep breath, finally managing to calm herself down.

Meanwhile, at Xu Yang’s place. Zhao Yuxin returned to Xu Yang’s embrace after hanging up the phone.

“Honey, don’t worry, I’ll make you happy,” said Xu Yang.

Though Zhao Yuxin didn’t put the call on speaker, Xu Yang still overheard their conversation.

If this were in the past, after he started working, he might not have been so confident saying such things. But now it was different—he had the Super Life System, a system destined to elevate him to the pinnacle of the world. Ensuring a happy life for Zhao Yuxin was certainly not an issue.

“Mhmm, I believe you, dear,” Zhao Yuxin said with a smile of happiness on her face.

The next day was Zhao Hai’s birthday. At three in the afternoon, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

After buying the ingredients, they returned to Zhao Hai’s house. The couple started to prepare the meal together—Zhao Yuxin was the head chef, and Xu Yang was the assistant chef.

Growing up with her father, Zhao Yuxin had learned to be responsible from a young age. She had even learned how to cook during junior high school. Her culinary skills were nothing less than her father’s. It could be said that Zhao Yuxin was skillful both in the kitchen and in dealing with household chores.

The couple bustled around the kitchen, laughing and chatting, and found the work enjoyable rather than tiring. This was the kind of life they wanted. For Zhao Yuxin, as long as she was with Xu Yang, everything was enjoyable. For Xu Yang, he was increasingly convinced that marrying Zhao Yuxin was the right choice. His feelings for her were also evolving.

At first, it was the system that led him to marry Zhao Yuxin, and there wasn’t much emotion between them. However, as time passed, he found himself falling for her rapidly. And as time went on, this love only grew stronger.

Zhao Yuxin was truly capable, both in social and domestic situations. Such a wife was a good wife—much better than Zhao Yulu.

Zhao Yulu wouldn’t clean up the room or cook. Sometimes, she wouldn’t even want to go out with Xu Yang and meet friends.

Zhao Yuxin, on the other hand, was different. When she was with Xu Yang, her eyes sparkled.

After a while of bustling about, it was almost six o’clock. They had finished most of the preparations. They just needed to cook the final few dishes when Zhao Hai returned and the guests arrived.
