When Life Takes A Turn

Zayn Larson was doing the whole family’s laundry when his mother-in-law, Ruby Lewis, threw another item at his face. She arrogantly commanded, “Zayn, wash this piece of mine first.”The corner of Zayn’s lips twitched. He felt that his mother-in-law’s gradually worsening attitude was pushing him beyond his limit. He said to her, “Mom, could you please put your laundry in the basket the next time you want me to wash it and not toss it at my face? I’m still your son-in-law after all.”It felt so degrading having a piece of clothing hanging on his head like that. His mother-in-law slapped him across the head. “Do the laundry as you're told. Cut the crap or I’ll stuff it into your mouth next time. You think a good-for-nothing like you has the right to complain? I’ll tell you this, don’t even think about eating today if you don’t clean it properly!” Still feeling like she had not vented her anger sufficiently, she gave his head another slap. Zayn’s entire body shook with rage. His mo

“Hmm, what’s the matter?” Zayn’s face was expressionless. The man calling quickly exclaimed in excitement, “Thank god! Young master, I’ve managed to contact you at last!”Zayn’s entire body trembled involuntarily when he heard the words “young master”. How long had it been since someone addressed him as such? Four years. It had been four long years!Uncertain, Zayn asked, “Are you the butler, Mr. Young?”“Thank heavens! Young master, I’ve finally found you!” Mr. Young was ecstatic beyond comparison and his words were even muffled by sobs. Zayn was stunned by the situation. Mr. Young had served the Larsons loyally for many years and had always been a staunch person. Why was he so excited now?“Mr. Young, please don’t address me as young master anymore. I’m just a homeless man disowned by the family now,” Zayn said in a self-mocking manner before heaving a sigh. “Young master! You are the second son of the Larsons. A man of honor and status. How can you be a homeless man disowned

Suddenly, a voice could be heard saying, “What’s going on? Why are there so many people standing here?”A middle-aged man dressed in a suit walked over with a frown. The faces of the teller and the two security guards conveyed their regard for him. The teller had even submissively stepped forward to welcome his arrival. “Manager, sir, you came just in time. There’s someone here who’s deliberately making trouble. He has a forged card, but he insists that it’s a VVIP card. What a joke! Who doesn’t know that our bank has only ever issued VIP cards? How can there be such nonsense as a VVIP card?”Little did she realize that the manager’s demeanor would change drastically upon hearing her words. “A VVIP card?”“That’s right! Sir, it’s this man who is being a nuisance and affecting the normal operations of our bank. I’ll have the security guards escort him out.” She did not notice the unusual shift in the manager’s expression. She continued to order the security guards in a presumptuous m

Faye’s expression changed drastically at once. She was enraged and cursed Zayn for being a scoundrel. Had nobody else been there, she would have given him a hard slap!“See? Even your husband agrees. No point trying to fight it. Let’s go. We’re going to pick out some jewelry as besties. What a coincidence that I spotted a diamond necklace recently. It’s quite cheap at only about 15,000 dollars.” Ivanna beamed broadly. Zayn had wanted to get Faye some jewelry for some time. He had never given her a proper gift during their four years of marriage. Now that he had money and this opportunity had presented itself, he would definitely not let it pass. Moreover, he had a bit of an idea. He hoped that he could use his sincerity to redeem their marriage. Faye was close to tears, but she was helpless before Ivanna’s unrestrained enthusiasm. There was nothing she could do to get away, so she had to follow Ivanna into the jewelry store. She heaved a sigh thinking about how Zayn was truly such

Zayn was smiling, but his face was more contorted than if he had been crying. The entire scene was ghastly quiet and the spectators were stunned. What was happening?Many people sensed the hurt Zayn felt in his heart at that moment, and they were sympathetic toward him. Conversely, Faye was just as cold as before. In fact, she assumed Zayn was putting on an act, so she was even more disgusted by him. “Don’t worry. I won’t ever be saddened by you for the rest of my life!”Zayn lowered his head and found himself shedding tears uncontrollably. Faye sneered without showing the slightest sympathy. Her final words were, “I’ll be waiting for you at the divorce attorney’s office.” She spoke coldly and quickly left, stomping away in her heels. After a while, the salesperson asked cautiously, “Mr. Larson, would you like to continue with the purchase?”She dared not speak louder as if it might shatter Zayn. The feeling that Zayn exuded was that of extremely fragile glass that would break
