After the divorce, my identity as a miracle doctor was exposed.

When Su Qianxue left Huichuntang, she practically fled.

The ancient gate behind her resembled a mocking mouth, ridiculing her ignorance and arrogance.

"Lin Yu...you smug, despicable bastard!"

Su Qianxue sat in her BMW, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands, tears streaming down her face.

"So what if you became a boss? What's so great about that! If you won't give me the medicine, I'll find it myself! I refuse to believe that the Su family will starve to death without you!"

She took a few deep breaths and dialed Zhang Hao's number with trembling hands.

Although Zhang Hao was humiliated at the banquet last night, and there were even some strange rumors (that Young Master Zhang went crazy and smashed the living room last night), in Su Qianxue's eyes, Zhang Hao is, after all, the eldest son of the Zhang family, and he has tens of millions of liquid funds in his hands. It shouldn't be difficult for him to help the Su family get through this crisis.

"Feed? Darling...where are you?" Su Qianxue tried her best to make her voice sound gentle and pitiful.

Loud music and the clinking of glasses came from the other end of the phone. Zhang Hao's voice sounded slurred, drunk, and irritable.

"Who the hell is your darling... Oh, Asahi. I'm having a drink at the 'Nightfall' bar. What's up?"

"Brother Hao, I need to speak with you urgently. I'm coming right now!"

Su Qianxue, as if grasping at a lifeline, stepped on the gas.

……

Twenty minutes later, in the VIP room of the "Nightfall" bar.

The lights here are dim, and the air is filled with the smells of tobacco, alcohol, and extravagance.

Zhang Hao was slumped on the sofa, with two scantily clad hostesses on his left and right, and the coffee table in front of him was piled with strong liquor.

His eyes were sunken and he was listless. Even when he was drunk, his eyes would occasionally look towards the door in fear, as if a killer with a knife might rush in at any moment.

The blood-stained inflatable doll from last night has become a recurring nightmare for him.

"Brother Hao!"

The door to the private room opened, and Su Qianxue hurriedly walked in.

Seeing the hostess next to Zhang Hao, she frowned slightly, a feeling of disgust rising in her heart, but since she needed his help, she could only endure it.

"Brother Hao, kick them out first. I have something important to tell you." Su Qianxue walked over and tried to pull Zhang Hao up.

Zhang Hao impatiently pushed the two women aside, his eyes glazed with drunkenness as he looked at Su Qianxue: "Serious business? What serious business could you possibly have? If it's about borrowing money, don't even ask. I'm in a bad mood today!"

Su Qianxue's heart skipped a beat, but she still forced a smile and said:

"It's not about borrowing money... Brother Hao, you know what? That good-for-nothing Lin Yu somehow got lucky and became the owner of Huichuntang! I went there to beg for medicine just now, and he actually forced me to kneel down! He even made me kowtow to him!"

Upon hearing the name "Lin Yu," Zhang Hao, who was originally drunk, suddenly shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, instantly sobering up by half.

"What...what did you say? The owner of Huichuntang?"

Zhang Hao's face turned deathly pale. He knew Lin Yu was a skilled fighter and was even kept by Liu Hongyan, but he never expected that this kid's influence had already infiltrated Huichuntang!

"Yeah, he's just a puppet boss!"

Su Qianxue completely failed to notice Zhang Hao's fear; instead, she grew increasingly angry and began to fan the flames.

"Brother Hao, don't you know Scarface from the underworld? And your cousin in the Martial Alliance! Quickly get some people to smash up Lin Yu's shop! Seize that official seal! As long as we get the medicinal herbs, our Su family can survive. We'll split the profits 50/50..."

*Smack!*

A loud slap landed on Su Qianxue's face without warning.

The slap was so powerful that it knocked the unsuspecting Su Qianxue onto the sofa, and blood instantly spilled from the corner of her mouth.

The air in the private room froze instantly.

Su Qianxue covered her face, staring at Zhang Hao in shock: "Brother Hao...you...you hit me? Why?"

"Why?!"

Zhang Hao, like a mad dog whose tail had been stepped on, jumped up and pointed at Su Qianxue's nose, roaring:

"You crazy woman! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! You want me to hire people to smash Lin Yu's shop? You want me to steal the company seal?"

"Are you tired of living?!"

Zhang Hao was genuinely scared.

The horrific scene of Scarface betraying him yesterday is still vivid in his mind; the knife stuck in the doll is still haunting him.

If Lin Yu finds out that Su Qianxue's trouble-making this time was also instigated by him... then next time it might really be his heart that gets stabbed!

"Brother Hao...didn't you say Lin Yu is just a gigolo? Why should we be afraid of him...?" Su Qianxue couldn't understand at all.

"Shut up! Being a kept man is still food! Now that he has someone backing him up, he's the boss!"

Zhang Hao shoved Su Qianxue aside, straightened his disheveled clothes, and his eyes were filled with determination:

"Su Qianxue, I'm officially informing you. From this moment on, we're breaking up! That engagement is canceled!"

"From now on, don't ever say you know me outside! If Lin Yu asks, just say we have absolutely nothing to do with each other! Do you hear me?!"

boom!

Su Qianxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

separate?

At this critical juncture for the Su family, Zhang Hao, whom she considered her true love, actually wanted to break up with her.

"No...no! Brother Hao, you can't do this!"

Ignoring the pain on her face, Su Qianxue rushed forward and hugged Zhang Hao's leg, crying with tears streaming down her face.

"Didn't we agree to get married next month? I've already divorced Lin Yu, and now you're all I have! If you abandon me, the Su family is truly finished!"

"Whether the Su family is finished or not is none of my business!"

Zhang Hao kicked Su Qianxue away, his eyes as cold as if he were looking at a pile of trash.

"I was with you before because of your family's cooperation with Longteng, and also because of your face. Now the Su family has been blacklisted by Longteng, and we've offended someone like Lin Yu... that kind of madman. Marrying you is like marrying a ticking time bomb!"

"Get lost! Don't bring bad luck on me!"

Zhang Hao yelled at the bodyguards outside the door, "Men! Throw this crazy woman out! She's never to set foot in Nightfall Bar again!"

"Zhang Hao! You bastard! You'll die a horrible death!"

Su Qianxue screamed in despair, but her strength was utterly insignificant in front of the two burly men.

……

Ten minutes later.

In the alley behind the Nightclub.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

Su Qianxue was pushed out of the back door like a piece of trash, staggering and falling into the muddy water.

His expensive business suit was completely ruined, covered in mud. His meticulously applied makeup was washed away by rain and tears, making him look like a comical clown in the dark alley.

"How could this happen... how could it have turned out like this..."

Su Qianxue sat in the muddy water, staring blankly at the gray sky.

three days ago.

She is the high and mighty CEO Su, with a loving husband (though she dislikes him), a family poised for takeoff, and a beauty that everyone envies.

three days later.

Her husband is gone, her family has fallen apart, and her new lover has run away.

Even that pitiful dignity was trampled to pieces underfoot.

"Lin Yu..."

Su Qianxue murmured to herself, the image of Lin Yu's indifferent gaze in Huichuntang flashing through her mind.

"Only when she's hit rock bottom will she understand that some people, once missed, are gone forever."

At that moment, she finally understood what he meant.

A wave of immense regret washed over her.

If... if we hadn't divorced... if we hadn't kicked him out of the house back then... wouldn't I be the one now, enjoying the adoration of everyone as the "owner of Huichuntang"?

Jingle Bell……

Just then, her half-broken cell phone, which had gotten wet in her bag, suddenly rang.

It was Zhao Huilan calling.

"Qianxue! Where are you? Come back quickly! Something's happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Huilan's voice was filled with terror and despair:

"The pharmaceutical factory is in trouble! Because of the production stoppage, our biggest business partner just sent us a letter threatening to sue us! Court officials are here, saying they're going to seize our villa to pay off debts! And they're going to arrest you and put you in jail!"

"And... your grandfather heard about this and was so angry he vomited blood. He's currently in critical condition! The hospital says he needs five million for surgery, and also a medicinal herb called 'Rejuvenating Grass,' which only Huichuntang has! Have you managed to get the medicine?"

The court seized the property.

Grandpa coughed up blood.

five million.

Rejuvenating herb.

Each word was like a mountain, pressing down hard on Su Qianxue's already broken spine.

Huichuntang... It's Huichuntang again!

"Waaaaah..."

Holding her phone, Su Qianxue burst into tears in the cold, rainy night.

All pride vanished in that moment.

She lost.

A crushing defeat.

"Mom...don't worry...I'll go and beg him."

Su Qianxue wiped away her tears and climbed out of the mud. Her eyes became empty and numb, the look of someone who had to abandon all self-respect in order to survive.

"This time... even if I have to kowtow until my head breaks, even if I have to beg him to save my grandfather."

……

at the same time.

In the luxurious office on the top floor of Huichuntang.

Lin Yu was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city's night view.

He was holding a cup of freshly brewed premium Longjing tea.

"Teacher, news has arrived."

Li Changqing stood respectfully behind her and said in a low voice, "Zhang Hao kicked Miss Su out, and the Su family's house has now been sealed off by the court. Old Master Su suffered a heart attack from anger and has been admitted to the ICU; his condition is critical."

At this point, Li Changqing paused, then asked, "Are we... really not going to do anything about it?"

Lin Yu turned around and gently blew a breath of hot air.

"Although Grandpa Su forced Su Qianxue to marry me back then, he was still somewhat sincere towards me."

This is true. In the three years Lin Yu spent in the Su family, the only person who never directly called Lin Yu "useless" was the old man lying in the hospital bed. Although he hadn't helped Lin Yu much, in Lin Yu's heart, it wasn't a fatal enmity.

"Keep that 'Rejuvenating Herb'."

Lin Yu put down his teacup, his gaze deep:

"But don't give it to them directly. The bait should be scattered slowly for the fish to bite."

"I will go to the hospital in person tomorrow."

"I want the entire Su family to watch, from the depths of despair, how I held up the sky."

"And they could only watch from their knees."
