Accidentally Married to the Big Shot
Chapter 418 Grand Finale

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Grand Finale

Cai Yingxue looked at the people in front of her—three boys and two girls—all of them ninth graders. Their families were actually quite well off, but they spent lavishly, buying luxury items and attending various parties, leaving them with little savings.

She felt contempt for them deep in her heart.

Clenching her fists, she said, "I don’t have money."

As she was about to leave, they blocked her way, surrounding her. One of them, the leader, said, "How about we find a place to talk properly?"

Cai Yingxue felt utterly helpless at that moment.

She glanced at the surroundings. All the students and teachers had left. She regretted not leaving earlier.

At that moment, a security guard patrolling the area saw them and shouted, "Why haven’t you left yet? What are you doing there?"

Cai Yingxue was about to speak, but the leading boy responded, "We’ll leave after we finish discussing our matters. Don’t worry about us."

The security guard, already intimidated by these kids, decided not to interfere. He was just an ordinary man at the bottom rung of society, and offending them wouldn’t do him any good.

Cai Yingxue grew even more frightened.

She tried to make a run for it, but the group quickly reacted and stopped her.

"Don’t go, Xiao Xue. Let’s have a proper chat."

"How about you bring us something tomorrow, and then we can all be friends and play together?"

Cai Yingxue felt both fearful and furious, but there was nothing she could do.

At the school gate, Li Jiajia had already arrived.

Seeing the driver waiting outside, she asked, "Has Xiao Xue not come out yet?"

"Not yet. The security guard isn’t letting anyone in."

Li Jiajia said nothing and walked straight into the school gates.

At that moment, the patrolling security guard returned and saw Li Jiajia. He asked, "What are you doing? Our school policy doesn’t allow outsiders inside."

Li Jiajia replied, "I’m looking for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"My stepdaughter, Cai Yingxue."

The security guard immediately remembered; Cai Yingxue had just been surrounded by that group of students.

He didn’t dare intervene, so he let the woman handle it instead.

After registering her ID card, the security guard allowed Li Jiajia to step in.

...

Cai Yingxue was completely surrounded by the group but remained stubbornly defiant.

She had been brought up to never submit to tyranny, even if it meant suffering. She refused to give in to the bad guys.

They dragged her to the back of a large banyan tree. One of the girls threatened her, "If you refuse to play along with us, the consequences will be severe. We’ll strip off your clothes and take photos of you. Let’s see how you manage to face people after that."

Cai Yingxue stared at the girl in front of her, thinking how someone merely fourteen or fifteen years old could be so vicious.

Her social circle was far too simple. If it hadn’t been for today’s encounter, she would never have imagined that students like this could exist in the same school.

Just as the girl began tugging at her clothes and the boys prepared their phones, laughing slyly, a sharp "Stop!" shouted from nearby, halting them.

They all turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a cleanly dressed, about-thirty-year-old woman standing not far from them.

She had her phone out and was recording their bullying of Cai Yingxue.

"Xiao Xue, who is she?" the students asked.

Cai Yingxue didn’t understand why Li Jiajia was there, but instinctively ran away from the group and hid behind her.

At this moment, the only person who could help her was Li Jiajia.

"Auntie, isn’t it inappropriate for you to be here? Are you her stepmom or something?"

"Auntie, do you want to hang out with us too? Sure, we don’t mind your age."

"..."

Li Jiajia said nothing, calmly walking over to them.

Actions spoke louder than words; within ten minutes, the group of students was subdued.

Li Jiajia then called the police.

Cai Yingxue stared at Li Jiajia in shock.

She knew Li Jiajia had been a police officer in the past but hadn’t expected her skills to be so impressive. Despite the boys being fourteen or fifteen years old and each over 1.8 meters tall, Li Jiajia effortlessly took them down.

When the police arrived, they collected the incriminating videos from the kids’ phones and informed their parents.

Learning that they had offended Cai Minjun’s daughter, the parents didn’t dare make a fuss and obediently took their children home.

After returning home, Cai Yingxue stood motionless, staring at Li Jiajia’s retreating figure.

Li Jiajia hadn’t said much to her throughout the entire process. She didn’t use her assistance as leverage to demand gratitude either.

She behaved as usual—calm, unassuming, and unpretentious.

Cai Yingxue suddenly thought of her aunt, who always lectured her after bringing chicken soup, saying things like "Remember to take care of me when you grow up."

...

When her aunt visited again, she noticed that the kids’ attitudes had changed.

Initially, it was Cai Jinghui who became distant, but then Cai Yingxue followed suit. Previously, they treated her like a close family member; now, she felt like a mere relative.

They even acted wary of her. When she entered their rooms, they monitored her actions as if afraid she might take something. Priceless items were all hidden away.

Zhou Min, on the other hand, openly asked them for things, but they often came up with excuses, saying they didn’t have them.

Zhou Min was livid, constantly cursing them for being ungrateful.

Fortunately, Cai Minjun educated his children well. He told them not to feel obligated towards their oldest aunt. According to him, their family owed her nothing. He even shared the extensive record of both financial and emotional support he had given to Zhou Min’s family over the years—far beyond what ordinary relatives would offer.

However, Cai Minjun didn’t mention Li Jiajia, following her wishes. She felt it unnecessary; if the children liked her, it would come naturally, and if not, then so be it.

Every month, Cai Minjun’s family had two family days. Sometimes they went on outings; other times, they hosted parties at home.

While the children initially resisted inviting Li Jiajia, they eventually changed their minds and started inviting her personally. Even their conversations with her grew livelier.

...

One day, Li Jiajia visited Su Meixi.

Su Meixi had grown accustomed to her routine of working during the day and taking care of kids at night.

She felt incredibly content with her life now.

But she noticed something different about Li Jiajia lately.

"You seem to be glowing these days. Have things improved with those little brats?" Su Meixi teased.

Li Jiajia smiled faintly. "Those brats have indeed started treating me differently, but honestly, I haven’t done much. I don’t know what changed in them."

Su Meixi laughed heartily. "Kindness doesn’t go unnoticed. You’re a good person—they can see that. I bet in a little while, they’ll be asking you to have little brothers and sisters for them!"

Li Jiajia replied, "Let’s leave it to fate. Old Cai may not want more kids, and neither do I."

"Don’t be so pessimistic—you’re still young! The kids aren’t bad; in another couple of years, when they mature, if Old Cai divides up the inheritance fairly, there’s no reason they wouldn’t agree."

Li Jiajia smiled gently, playing with Su Meixi’s child.

...

Two months later, Su Meixi heard from Li Shirui that Xi Wanfen was getting married.

The groom was, of course, Qiu Shuai.

Li Shirui said Qiu Shuai’s parents were very fond of Xi Wanfen. They insisted on giving her a dowry, gifted her a villa, and didn’t demand to live with the couple after marriage—showing her utmost respect.

Su Meixi was genuinely happy.

On Xi Wanfen’s wedding day, Xi Wanlin surprisingly returned too.

Xi Wanlin had lost weight and looked darker but carried herself with an entirely different demeanor. She also brought back a few children from Wu Bian Town, saying she wanted to let them explore the outside world for a few days before heading back.

Su Meixi sat beside Gu Wei, watching every person at the wedding. Everyone wore happy smiles, each finding their own place in life.

Life was truly beautiful!
