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

He looked down at her, touching her fingers, his face pale, and his eyes held a hint of fierceness.

Such an expression was uncommon on Song Qintang; she was always good-tempered. As he spoke, he took her hand and led her to the living room sofa. "I heard you drowned, so I went to look for you, but you weren't there. I thought you had left, so I brought Jianjia back."

Yes, someone who doesn't love you will think you've already gotten up and left even if you fall into the water and sink to the bottom.

Wu Haoqi knew that she couldn't swim.

Once, Long Jianjia insisted on going dragon boating, and as a result, she was dragged into the water by Long Jianjia.

Wu Haoqi jumped down almost without thinking and saved Long Jianjia.

Long Jianjia, who had been rescued, clung to Wu Haoqi out of fear and refused to let go.

Finally, the boatman couldn't bear to watch any longer and jumped in to pull Song Qintang out.

She was hospitalized for half a month due to pneumonia caused by choking on water.

Song Qintang gave a deep look at Long Jianjia, who was standing next to her with evasive eyes.

It would have been better if she hadn't looked. As soon as she did, Long Jianjia slid down to her knees and knelt directly in front of Song Qintang. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. It was because I didn't hold them back that you fell into the water."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. Just don't make trouble for Brother Haoqi."

She's used this tactic too many times; it no longer arouses Song Qintang's sympathy.

Wu Haoqi, on the other hand, always seemed to prioritize compassion. He had just been holding her hand, but immediately pulled away to help Long Jianjia.

He helped her sit down beside him before looking at Song Qintang and saying, "Qintang, I know what happened last night. It was the two Lin sisters who were fighting. You can't blame Jianjia. She was worried about you all night too."

"Worried all night?" Song Qintang didn't want to hold back any longer. If she didn't lash out now, she would truly be a coward.

"Yes!" Wu Haoqi said, pulling one of them by the hand like a peacemaker. "That's why I specially bought lychees this morning to wait for you to come back and eat them!"

Sitting to Wu Haoqi's right, Long Jianjia grasped Wu Haoqi's hand. "Yes, of course I was worried about you." She then glanced at Song Qintang with feigned curiosity. "Sister-in-law, you haven't been back all night. Why did you change your clothes?"

"I don't think I saw you take any spare clothes."

Wu Haoqi sensed the hidden meaning in Long Jianjia's words and couldn't help but scrutinize Song Qintang, his expression darkening. "Where did you change it?"

Song Qintang smiled faintly, "Does Jianjia want to know the answer to this question?"

Startled by Song Qintang's question, Long Jianjia paused for a moment before explaining, "I was just concerned about you, I didn't mean anything by it, please don't misunderstand, sister-in-law."

"Misunderstanding?" Song Qintang's palms ached from clenching them. What a brilliant scheme, what a pity.

"You all want to know how I changed my clothes, where I changed them, or where I went last night. We'll call Mom down today and we'll get to the bottom of this together."

Song Qintang had never spoken so bluntly before, and the two of them were taken aback by her attitude.

Wu Haoqi reassured her somewhat impatiently, "Never mind, we were just mentioning it casually. Let's not disturb Mom before she gets up."

Wu Haoqi thought to himself that even if he called Ms. Mei down, Song Qintang would still be the one who suffered.

Ms. Mei not only doesn't help him, but she also won't help Song Qintang; she only favors Long Jianjia.

Long Jianjia chimed in, "Yes, sister-in-law, we were just concerned about you. Why are you angry again and insisting on taking it to your godmother?"

"I don't think it's necessary. We young people can handle our own affairs."

"Yesterday, it was my sister-in-law who left us behind and went off on her own."

Actually, Long Jianjia was still a little uneasy, but in order to avoid making things worse, she wanted to let it go.

After all, nothing really happened to Song Qintang.

Without their permission, the maids wouldn't go up to call Ms. Mei.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Lihu's impatient voice came from outside the door, "What happened so early in the morning that you had to call me here?"

Wu Lihu came in yawning, rolled her eyes at Song Qintang who had called her, and said, "You better have something to say, or I won't let you off the hook."

Seeing this, Long Jianjia got up and helped Wu Lihu sit down. "Auntie, I don't know what my sister-in-law was thinking. She had to wake you all up so early in the morning. I feel so sorry for you."

Wu Lihu patted Long Jianjia's hand, then looked up at Song Qintang, "Speak, what is it?"

Song Qintang wasn't in a hurry. "Auntie, please wait a bit. My mom hasn't come down yet."

Seeing that Song Qintang was determined to make a big scene, Long Jianjia couldn't help but feel flustered. She said, "Sister-in-law, why are you doing this? Godmother hasn't gotten up yet, let's not disturb the elder's rest."

From the moment Song Qintang walked in, Long Jianjia felt something was wrong.

But she thought she had done it perfectly. Could it be that Song Qintang found out?

Song Qintang remained silent, but her attitude was resolute; she would not speak until she saw Ms. Mei.

After a ten-minute standoff, Wu Lihu instructed Zhao Ma to go up and call Ms. Mei.

Ms. Mei, who was woken up from her sleep, naturally didn't give Song Qintang a very friendly look.

"What are you up to now?"

Before Song Qintang could speak, Long Jianjia hurriedly interjected, "Godmother, last night when we went to the Gu family, my cousin's wife got into a fight with the Lin sisters. I tried to break it up, but I couldn't hold her back, and she fell into the pond."

"It's all my fault. I didn't protect my sister-in-law properly. I went to find Brother Haoqi immediately afterward, but it seems that my sister-in-law got up on her own and left without saying a word to us."

"Haoqi and I were worried all night."

When Long Jianjia spoke of her grievances, she even shed a few tears.

Song Qintang watched, inwardly mocking, "They're really putting on a good act."

Yes, not everyone can do what Long Jianjia does: twist the truth and feign injustice.

Wu Haoqi was already very dissatisfied with Song Qintang's attitude. He believed that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.

He took her to important banquets, giving her plenty of face, and upon hearing that she had fallen into the water, he immediately dropped what he was doing to rescue her.

She left without saying goodbye, and he wasn't angry at all. But now he's turned around and made a scene with the elders in the family.

It seems he was too lenient.

"Qintang, that's enough! There's a limit to how much trouble you can cause!"

Everyone looked at Song Qintang with hostility.

However, Song Qintang was the least susceptible to pressure. She calmly said, "Last night, after I fell into the water, I was rescued by Chairman Gu, who happened to be passing by. Afterwards, he not only arranged for a doctor for me, but also had his assistant give me a copy of the surveillance footage of the entire banquet at the Gu family's residence."

As soon as Song Qintang finished speaking, Long Jianjia, who was sitting next to Wu Lihu, changed her expression slightly.

Gu Huizhou's status is immense. Tonight, countless wealthy and powerful women are waiting for him, just to see him, yet he hasn't even deigned to show up. How could he possibly go into the water to save someone himself?

They even gave the surveillance footage to Song Qintang.

She didn't believe it; Song Qintang must have been lying to her.

Moreover, the moment Song Qintang fell, she saw a crimson stain appear on the water droplets.

If she really got the surveillance footage, she couldn't possibly not have mentioned it!
