Abandoned on a stormy night, I divorced and remarried into a wealthy family.

Wu Haoqi stopped and turned to look at Song Qintang. He saw that her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her aloofness was evident on her face.

He still remembers the day they got their marriage certificate; he only held her hand briefly, and she blushed.

Now she's resisting; even when he holds her hand, she resists.

Hearing this from her bedroom on the second floor, Long Jianjia immediately got out of bed and went to the balcony. There she saw Wu Haoqi and Song Qintang standing at the end of the garden, holding hands. She was furious.

Song Qintang had just told her that she wanted a divorce, but Da Qing was right under her nose, seducing Wu Haoqi.

She rushed downstairs in her pajamas, calling out to them, "Sister-in-law and brother, why are you up so early?"

Long Jianjia, wearing a snow-white silk slip dress, ran towards them, her figure revealing glimpses of her skin as she ran.

Song Qintang glanced at him, then pushed Wu Haoqi away with her other hand and stood to the side.

The warmth in his palm vanished, leaving behind only coldness. Wu Haoqi savored the moment, then glanced at Long Jianjianjia, his eyes instinctively avoiding hers as he said, "It's cold. Why didn't you wear a coat when you came out?"

Long Jianjia glanced down at her exposed chest, feigning shyness as she covered it, which only made the exposure more pronounced.

She walked shyly to Song Qintang's side, took her arm, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's been so long since we ate together. Let's have breakfast first!"

Since Song Qintang dared to openly seduce Wu Haoqi and disgust her, she wouldn't let her off easily.

As her arm was pressed against something soft, Song Qintang glanced down, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She shook her head and said, "No need, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Long Jianjia, in a coquettish voice, shook her arm and pleaded, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

As she spoke, she reached out with her other hand to take Wu Haoqi's arm, her body involuntarily touching him. "Brother Qi, please help me persuade your wife. I only mean it, okay?"

Wu Haoqi glanced at Song Qintang. Indeed, it had been a long time since they had eaten breakfast together like a normal couple and gone to work together.

Looking at Song Qintang again, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to before.

Let her sit at the table and eat with them; perhaps she'll be happy.

Wu Haoqi nodded in agreement, "Let's go, have breakfast before going to work."

Before Song Qintang could react, Wu Haoqi led her back.

Wu Haoqi had set the rule against letting her sit at the dinner table, and now he's breaking that rule himself.

Song Qintang didn't understand what he meant.

Upon reflection, he was only doing it to save face for Long Jianjia.

After all, he would respond to every word Long Jianjia said.

Despite her reluctance, Wu Haoqi led her towards the living room.

Because she knew that if she didn't go now, Long Jianjia would use this as an excuse to accuse her of being "ungrateful and throwing a tantrum."

Long Jianjia was surprised that Song Qintang did not refuse, but was led forward by Wu Haoqi.

She remained where she was, gritted her teeth for a moment, and coughed a few times while covering her mouth with her hand.

But Wu Haoqi didn't turn around.

She was stunned.

How could this be? She was dressed so lightly, Wu Haoqi saw it. And in the past, whenever he heard her cough, he would immediately take off his coat, hug her, and speak gently to her.

She looked at Wu Haoqi's back, then at Song Qintang, who was being led by him, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.

She hated Song Qintang the most because she was always trying to steal her man.

She could have refused, so why did she have to let Wu Haoqi lead her?

She's provoking us!

Ms. Mei, who was coming downstairs, happened to see Wu Haoqi and Song Qintang walking in side by side. She didn't speak to Song Qintang, but walked past her, sat down in the main seat, and said to Wu Haoqi, "Why did you get up so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

Wu Haoqi pulled out a chair, pressed Song Qintang down into it, and patted her shoulder: "Have breakfast, then take Xiaotang to work."

Ms. Mei was stunned.

She glanced at Song Qintang with utter disdain.

She felt that Wu Haoqi must have been misled. Song Qintang had been working for many years, and she had never seen him get up early to deliver things.

Today, I'm not only delivering the food, but also taking people to the restaurant for breakfast.

Who knows what tricks Song Qintang is up to behind the scenes?

In short, they are all despicable and underhanded tactics.

Her reeds wouldn't be like that!

Ms. Mei was too lazy to talk to them anymore and ordered the maid to go upstairs to call Long Jianjia.

As soon as she finished speaking, Long Jianjia walked in, her arms trembling slightly. She coughed a few times as she approached Ms. Mei.

Ms. Mei immediately stood up, took off her shawl and wrapped it around her, "You silly child, why did you come down without wearing a coat? It's so cold outside, you've caught a cough from the cold."

He immediately pulled her into his arms and rubbed her gently, then ordered the servants to make ginger tea.

After settling down, Long Jianjia leaned against Ms. Mei's lap. "Godmother, I'm not cold. I saw my sister-in-law and Brother Qi leave so early, and I was worried they'd be hungry, so I rushed down to call them!"

Long Jianjia has a knack for coaxing Ms. Mei.

With just a few words, Ms. Mei felt a pang of sympathy.

Ms. Mei glared at Song Qintang, her words laced with sarcasm, "Some people are just so pretentious. They have the nerve to ask others to deliver things to them when they only earn a few thousand yuan a month, and now they even need someone to treat them to meals. Why can't they get rid of their petty ways!"

"You're not allowed to do that again!" Ms. Mei's tone shifted abruptly as she rubbed Long Jianjia's hands. "It's not worth getting a cold over someone like that!"

Song Qintang lowered her eyes and didn't say a word, yet she was already being labeled with two different accusations.

Wu Haoqi took a deep look at Song Qintang beside him and realized for the first time how difficult it was for her in this family.

It's perfectly normal for him, as a husband, to drive his wife to work, and it's also his duty for her, as his wife, to eat breakfast at home.

Such a common and ordinary thing was nitpicked.

A slight sense of guilt arose in his heart.

But this slight sense of guilt was not enough for him to protect her in front of his family.

Wu Haoqi patted Song Qintang's shoulder reassuringly and said softly, "Let's eat first!"

Song Qintang didn't respond; her lowered eyes were devoid of any emotion.

She just wanted to finish her breakfast peacefully and leave as soon as possible.

To avoid being criticized again, she was the last to pick up her chopsticks.

Even as she carefully drank the plain porridge in front of her, she dared not reach out to pick up any food.

Throughout the meal, his gaze never left her.

Wu Haoqi noticed her nervousness and added some side dishes to her congee.

Seeing this heartbreaking scene, Long Jianjia felt a surge of possessiveness.

How could Brother Haoqi serve food to another woman?

Song Qintang did it on purpose, deliberately pretending to be pitiful in front of Wu Haoqi.

His hand, hidden under the table, clenched tightly, but his face still held a smile as he stood up and offered his bird's nest to Song Qintang: "Sister-in-law, here's my bird's nest for you. Don't try to lose weight and not eat it just to stay in shape. I've heard that it's hard to get pregnant if you're too thin!"

Song Qintang had no chance to refuse; the bowl of bird's nest soup was placed in front of her. She looked down at it and said calmly, "I'm not on a diet!"

Even if she gains ten pounds, she won't get pregnant.

She and Wu Haoqi lived on opposite floors, one on the second floor and the other on the first, their relationship as innocent as brothers, a fact that Long Jianjia probably knew better than she did.

Long Jianjia brought this up now only to reignite the war.
