The door was knocked loudly.

The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to call the property management.

It would be difficult to get rid of this weird family without using special means.

When Li Fei's mother saw that I didn't open the door, she became even more furious and started swearing.

"Lazy woman, come out quickly!

"Are you dead, you bitch?"

I opened the door, and Li Fei's mother glared at me angrily, "You didn't open the door after knocking for so long, letting your mother-in-law wait outside.

"Don't you have any manners?"

I straightened my hair and sneered, "Auntie, Li Fei and I haven't registered our marriage.

"Stop calling yourself a mother-in-law every day.

"And, in my own house, I don't need to follow any rules. I wake up whenever I want to.

"It's you who has no manners when you come to my house and talk to me rudely!"

Li Fei's mother didn't expect me to argue back at her and looked at me incredulously.

She pointed her finger at me and stammered for a while.

I rolled my eyes and walked directly to the living room.

Li Fei's father hadn't even taken off his shoes and was lying on my beige sofa with black shoe prints. It made me feel annoyed.

When he saw me, he glanced at me and said, "The daughter-in-law is here."

Then he gestured like a host and said, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."

I looked at my phone and stared at him without saying a word.

Li Fei's father didn't notice my expression.

He greedily looked around the house and asked me, "Is this house registered under your name?"

I nodded.

He slammed the table hard and said, "This is outrageous! There's no house registered under a woman's name. People will laugh their teeth off if they hear about it.

"After you finish cooking breakfast, immediately go through the formalities and transfer the house to Li Fei!"

After hearing that, I almost burst out laughing. Each member of Li Fei's family is more delusional than the next.

They're really pushing their luck!

I picked up my phone and urged the property management again, then tilted my head and sneered.

"Uncle, are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? This house was bought for me by my father with full payment. Li Fei hasn't contributed a single cent.

"Transfer it to Li Fei? Is your family planning to rob me?"

Li Fei's father turned red with anger after hearing that.

"You're going too far! How dare you talk to me like that!"

He glared at me with wide eyes and picked up the antique vase on the cabinet in front of me, ready to smash it at me.

I raised an eyebrow. This vase is a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase collected by my father. It's said to be from the Kangxi period.

My father bought it for over 100,000 yuan, and there's even an authentication certificate.

"Uncle, this vase is an antique. You can't afford to pay for it if you break it." I reminded him.

However, Li Fei's father thought I was humiliating him and spat, "Bah! Don't scare me with this crap.

"I'll smash it right now, so what?"

After saying that, he raised the vase and slammed it on the ground next to me with a loud bang.

The vase shattered into pieces, and the fragments almost scratched my face.

At that moment, I heard a sound coming from the study, and I glanced over.

A figure quickly flashed past the glass door.

Li Fei had already woken up, but he was hiding inside, pretending to be dead, allowing his parents to bully me while he enjoyed the show.

My already cold heart ached again. How blind was I to fall in love with such a scum?

After smashing the vase, Li Fei's father pointed at me fiercely, and his foul mouth spewed out insults.

"Our family has already given you the dowry, and you still have the audacity to be so ungrateful!

"You're just a gold digger, trying to take advantage of our son."

I stood up slowly, my voice cold and steady.

"Mr. Li, I am a self-made woman. I have my own career and my own wealth.

"I don't need your so-called dowry, and I certainly don't need your son's money."

Li Fei's mother chimed in, "Who do you think you are? You're just a lowly woman."

I looked at her with disdain.

"Auntie, if you have nothing better to say, I suggest you leave my house immediately."

They were taken aback by my boldness, but Li Fei's father quickly regained his composure and sneered.

"Fine, we'll leave. But don't think this is over. We won't let you off the hook so easily."

As they walked towards the door, Li Fei's father turned back and added, "Remember, you'll regret this."

I smiled, a smile that carried no fear.

"I highly doubt that."

With that, they left, slamming the door behind them.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.

It was clear to me now that I needed to end this toxic relationship once and for all.

No more compromises, no more waiting for change that would never come.

I grabbed my phone and dialed a number.

It was time to seek legal advice and protect myself from these manipulative individuals.

From that day on, I vowed to regain my strength, my independence, and my happiness.

No one would ever bring me down again.
