Courtyard House: I'm surrounded by celestial beauties on either side.

"You two know me, and although we haven't seen each other for two years, you should be clear about my relationship with everyone in the courtyard."

Seeing the law enforcement officer nod, he continued, "Qin Huairu, a widow with three children, is still having affairs with people everywhere, entangled with Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu, and Xu Damao—who would marry a woman like that?"

"If I am involved in human trafficking, you may arrest me."

But I can't be forced to face such a disgusting person just because of some madman's delusions, can I? What's the difference between that and forcing someone to eat shit? Fang Chengxuan became more and more agitated as he spoke.

The law enforcement officers hurriedly explained, "We just brought her to see you, hoping to help her recover her memory..."

"Now that you've seen them, please take them away." Fang Chengxuan's face was full of disgust.

Qin Huairu stared at him blankly: "How could you do this to me? You said I was the most virtuous woman in the hospital, and that you didn't mind my child..." As she spoke, she tried to rush up and hug him.

Fang Chengxuan swiftly pulled over a law enforcement officer to use as a shield.

Caught off guard, the law enforcement officer was grabbed and forcibly kissed by Qin Huairu. He immediately pushed her away in disgust and frantically wiped his lips.

At this moment, Rong Wenyao, dressed in military uniform, strode in and sternly rebuked, "Is this how the law enforcement agency operates? Allowing a madman to harass innocent people?"

"Send him to a mental hospital immediately! I'll talk to your bureau chief about this myself." His piercing gaze made Qin Huairu tremble.

The two law enforcement officers hurriedly carried Qin Huairu away, cursing themselves for being bewitched and bringing her to find Fang Chengxuan.

They quickly sent the person to the Second Mental Hospital and reported to the director.

Even after she left, Fang Chengxuan still looked annoyed: "That woman is like a persistent ghost."

He thought to himself: As the protagonist of the world, He Yuzhu cannot be killed, and Qin Huairu probably can too.

But since it could confuse He Yuzhu's memory, it also affected Qin Huairu...

"No matter what you want to do, you're not allowed!" Rong Xinrui saw through his thoughts and firmly stopped him.

Fang Chengxuan immediately suppressed his anger: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Rong Wenyao explained, "Qiu Gaoyang informed me of this because he was afraid you wouldn't be able to stop yourself."

"Qin Huairu has not lost her memory at all; the malice in her eyes when she attacked Xinrui just now was very obvious," Fang Chengxuan pointed out.

"Since she's pretending to be mentally ill, then let her stay in a mental hospital."

"I'll handle this. Don't interfere." Rong Wenyao said and left in a hurry.

At this moment, the postman delivered Leng Si's letter.

After reading the letter, Fang Chengxuan said, "The letter said that Qin Huairu was abducted by Qin Mengtao's accomplice, but she was very clever and called the police under the pretense of a medical examination after gaining the buyer's trust."

Coincidentally, the local police chief's daughter was also abducted, and the case was quickly solved.

She lied to the police, saying that she only remembered that she was Qin Huairu from the courtyard house, that she had three children, and that her husband's name was Fang Chengxuan.

Because his status as an escaped convict from labor camp was concealed through human trafficking, he was sent back to Beijing.

After being dealt with by Qin Mengtao and her lover, Qin Huairu unexpectedly gained a legitimate way to return to Beijing.

After reading the letter, Rong Xinrui frowned slightly: "Qin Huairu indirectly saved that bureau chief's daughter. Will they stand up for her?"

Fang Chengxuan frowned and said, "Could it be that I'm really that confused?"

"not necessarily.

"With preconceived notions and Qin Huairu's confident assertions, those unaware of the situation are bound to overthink things," Rong Xinrui sighed softly.

Fang Chengxuan smoothed her brow: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Meanwhile, the family that had been rescued was receiving a tearful phone call from Qin Huairu, who was discussing Fang Chengxuan.

"Dad, that Fang Chengxuan is despicable!" Twenty-year-old Mei Yueke said indignantly. "He abandoned his old love for a new one and even sent Qin Huairu to the law enforcement office just because she's a widow with three children?"

"He said he wouldn't mind, so why is he turning his back on me now that he's found someone better?"

Looking at his daughter's innocent expression, Mei Pingchuan retorted, "Would an ordinary man easily marry a widow with three children? Are you sure Qin Huairu isn't lying?"

"Why would he lie?" Mei Yue asked, puzzled. "Fang Chengxuan also has a younger sister to take care of. Isn't it normal for them to form a blended family?"

"Is this normal?" Mei Pingchuan frowned as he flipped through Fang Chengxuan's file—a file showing his rise from kitchen staff to deputy factory director.

Looking at the information, Mei Yueke began to hesitate: Would a capable man really be interested in a widow with three children?

"Dad, Qin Huairu saved me, I can't just abandon her."

I'm going to Peking University to register anyway, so I'll take care of this while I'm there.

Mei Pingchuan nodded: "I'll go with you."

After arriving in Beijing, the father and daughter first went to Peking University to register.

When the two first entered the campus and were feeling lost, they met a handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor.

"Excuse me, could you take us to see the school leaders?" Mei Pingchuan asked.

Fang Chengxuan nodded: "I'll take you to the Academic Affairs Office."

On the way, Mei Yue couldn't help but steal a glance at him: "Are you also a student at Peking University? You're really good-looking, like a celebrity on TV."

Fang Chengxuan responded calmly, "Yes, a freshman."

Even after they parted, Mei Yueke couldn't help but look back.

Mei Pingchuan tapped her on the head: "Girls should be reserved."

"But he really is like 'a gentleman as beautiful as jade, unparalleled in the world'!" Mei Yue muttered, rubbing her head.

After successfully enrolling in the school, Mei Yueke was surprised to find that Fang Chengxuan was her classmate.

"What a coincidence, my name is Mei Yueke. Thank you for your help this morning." She greeted him first.

"Fang Chengxuan, from the same year," he replied briefly.

Mei Yueke's eyes suddenly widened: "You're Fang Chengxuan?"

"Is there a problem?" He looked up.

"No... I just heard about someone with the same name, and I was a little surprised." She hurriedly shook her head, thinking: This person is handsome and outstanding, he could never be the heartless man Qin Huairu described!

At lunchtime, Mei Yueke excitedly told her father, "Dad, the person who helped us this morning was also named Fang Chengxuan! What a coincidence!"

Mei Pingchuan frowned: "I'll investigate Qin Huairu's matter this afternoon."

Mei Yueke nodded gently: "I understand."

"Dad, it's quite a coincidence that there are two Fang Chengxuans. One is related to Qin Huairu, while the other is so outstanding in appearance. It's such a waste of such a good name."

Mei Pingchuan remained silent.

In the afternoon, Mei Yue returned to campus and approached Fang Chengxuan again, unable to resist asking, "Fang Chengxuan, do you know someone named Qin Huairu?"

Fang Chengxuan paused slightly as he turned the pages of his book. He had initially intended to ignore her, but he looked up at Mei Yueke and asked, "Are you the bureau chief's daughter, whom Qin Huairu rescued from human traffickers?" He scrutinized Mei Yueke carefully.

That's certainly a bit naive.

Mei Yueke's eyes widened as she pointed at Fang Chengxuan: "You...you're the heartless man Qin Huairu was talking about, the one who climbed the social ladder and then abandoned her?"

"Climbing the social ladder and abandoning her?" Fang Chengxuan's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "She doesn't even deserve it!"

Sensing the coldness emanating from Fang Chengxuan, Mei Yue pursed her lips.

Qin Huairu said that you two were in love and both had children, and you were originally going to get married.

But after you met Rong Xinrui, you changed your mind. Not only did you abandon her, but you also targeted her in every way..." Mei Yueke's voice grew softer and softer.

As she spoke, Fang Chengxuan's face grew increasingly gloomy, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"Don't compare me to Qin Huairu, it's disgusting," Fang Chengxuan said coldly.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Mei Yueke was no longer gentle.

"Are you here to stand up for Qin Huairu?"

Mei Yue quickly shook her head: "No."

"Since I'm not here to cause trouble, and I'm already married, it's not convenient for me to get too close to other women."

"Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary." Fang Chengxuan said, then got up and left.

Mei Yue stood there, feeling inexplicably wronged, and muttered softly, "Why did it suddenly turn out like this? What did I do wrong?"

When school was over, Mei Yue wanted to find Fang Chengxuan, but saw him pushing his bicycle into the Tsinghua campus across the street.

She was about to follow him when her father stopped her.

"Where are you going?" Mei Pingchuan asked.

Mei Yueke turned around and saw her father, and the grievances she had felt at noon welled up in her heart again: "Dad, that Fang Chengxuan really is the person Qin Huairu was talking about."

How could someone like him possibly be interested in a widow with three children? Qin Huairu actually lied to me!

Mei Pingchuan sighed: "This afternoon, my comrades and I went to the neighborhood committee to find out that Qin Huairu doesn't have a good reputation outside."

"After her husband passed away, she ostensibly stayed at her husband's home to take care of the elderly and children, and worked at a steel rolling mill, which earned her some good reputation."

But in reality, she had illicit relationships with at least three men in the courtyard.

"He was sent to a labor camp for misconduct, but he escaped from the labor camp to Hong Kong. Later, he somehow came back and was trafficked by human traffickers."

Mei Yueke's eyes widened: "Then what exactly is her relationship with Fang Chengxuan?"

"As far as I know, they just live in the same courtyard house."

Qin Huairu is used to feigning pitifulness to take advantage of her neighbors, and relies on her beauty to soften men's hearts.

Only Fang Chengxuan never helped her.

"Their courtyard was rather special. The man who originally sheltered Qin Huairu had a lot of influence, and over time, a feud developed between them."

"Qin Huairu may indeed like Fang Chengxuan, but you've seen Fang Chengxuan for yourself. With his qualities, what kind of girl couldn't he marry? How could he possibly marry a widow with three children who has been having affairs with other men?"

Mei Pingchuan secretly rejoiced that he had remained calm enough to conduct his own investigation and had not blindly believed Qin Huairu's one-sided account.

Otherwise, if things escalate, it will be the father and daughter who lose face.

Upon hearing this, Mei Yue stomped her feet in anger: "That Qin Huairu! No wonder Fang Chengxuan says she's disgusting whenever she's mentioned."

"It's one thing for a widow with three children, after all, it's not her fault that her husband died."

But having affairs with other men, being so promiscuous, what decent man would want her?

"She even called me crying and complaining. If it weren't for you stopping me, Dad, I would have completely offended Fang Chengxuan by now."

"Dad, I'm going to see Qin Huairu," Mei Yueke said angrily.

Go ahead.

Qin Huairu was sent to a mental hospital because she attempted to harm Fang Chengxuan's wife.

"This woman is wicked, but she did save you after all, so there are some things that need to be made clear." Mei Pingchuan nodded in agreement.

Since his daughter's last accident, he realized that he had been protecting her too much and that she should experience more things.

The father and daughter walked toward the mental hospital.

Mei Yueke's face was gloomy throughout the journey.

Inside the mental hospital, Qin Huairu, after undergoing a series of treatments, looked at him with resentment: "I told you, I'm not sick! Why didn't you believe me?"

A nurse glanced at her: "Not a single patient who comes here admits to being sick!"

Qin Huairu was speechless for a moment.

"You've taken money from someone else! Are you trying to torture me to death? Was it Fang Chengxuan who ordered it, or Rong Xinrui?"

"It must be Rong Xinrui, right? She stole my man, so she can't tolerate me, isn't that right?"

Qin Huairu questioned hysterically.

If Fang Chengxuan were there, he would definitely say: Qin Huairu is quite dedicated; she doesn't forget to act even at a time like this.

Unfortunately, Mei Yueke is the one present now.

She snorted coldly: "Enough, Qin Huairu, you really are sick."

Otherwise, why would she fantasize about having a relationship with Fang Chengxuan? Don't you think about it? With Fang Chengxuan's qualities, if he wanted to marry her, which girl wouldn't want to?

"Would he even be interested in you?"

Mei Yueke wasn't discriminating against widows; she simply couldn't accept the fact that Qin Huairu was having affairs with other men.

"Yue Ke, why are you saying this? Have you also been deceived by Fang Chengxuan?" Qin Huairu's eyes immediately filled with tears when she saw Mei Yue Ke.

Mei Yue used to feel sorry for Qin Huairu when she saw her like this, but now she only feels disgusted: "Qin Huairu, I think you're really sick, otherwise why would you think Fang Chengxuan would be interested in you?"

I know everything about you; you can't fool me.

"You did save me before, and that's why my dad and I believed you, helped you settle your labor camp situation, sent you back to Beijing, and returned the money to you."

"But you've gone too far, you're full of lies."

I've come here to tell you that I will never trust you again.

Mei Yue coldly tossed a wad of banknotes at him: "This is the last time I'm giving you money. Better watch yourself from now on!"

The thick 100-yuan note must be at least 400 yuan.

She turned and left; young girls' love and hate are always so decisive and straightforward.

Qin Huairu suddenly shouted, "If I hadn't saved you, you would have been ruined if you had stayed in that human trafficking village for just one more day! Now you want to distance yourself from it?"

Mei Yueke turned around abruptly, incredulous: "You clearly said before that you didn't need to remember my kindness, but it was all an act! No wonder Fang Chengxuan felt disgusted when he mentioned you."

Upon hearing Fang Chengxuan's name, Qin Huairu's face turned deathly pale: "You're the disgusting one! I'm locked up in a mental hospital, and you think you can just give me some money and call me a day?"

"Without me, you would have been defiled by now! Money alone is not enough, you have to get me out of here!" Qin Huairu hysterically slammed her fist on the table.

Mei Yueke bit her lip: "Okay, I'll help you get out."

But everyone knows about your affair with Fang Chengxuan, so pretending to have amnesia won't work. Shouldn't you 'recover your memory' by now?

A sinister glint flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes: "Fine, I'll recover."
