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

If it were the old Song Qintang, she might have believed it.

But now, she trusts no one. "Then please sign as soon as possible, Mr. Wu, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences."

After saying that, Song Qintang turned to leave, but Wu Haoqi's voice still wouldn't let her go, "Song Qintang, do you think you can threaten me? Go ahead and call the police right now if you dare. I'm not afraid even if you arrest Long Jianjia..."

"I just won't get a divorce..."

Upon hearing these words, Song Qintang's firm steps inevitably faltered.

She couldn't believe that a man's love could change so quickly.

Is he so afraid that the price he'll pay is sending Long Jianjia to the police station?

Just so you won't divorce her?

This side of Wu Haoqi is frightening.

Only after watching Song Qintang's figure disappear through the door did Wu Haoqi walk out of the living room, feeling utterly lost.

In the past, when he lost his temper, he would always leave Song Qintang with his back turned; now it's his turn.

He comforted himself, telling himself that this was only temporary. He believed that Song Qintang would understand his true feelings, and that he was the only one in the world who wouldn't despise her and would still live with her.

It's normal for women to have a little temper; they'll eventually come to their senses. If he drags it out a little longer, Song Qintang will give up the idea of ​​divorce.

...

Song Qintang went into the lab and didn't come out until noon. She wanted to finish the experiment as soon as possible, which would be another way of repaying Gu Huizhou.

It wasn't until 8 p.m. that I left the hospital with Zeng Zhu, who was also working overtime.

Zeng Zhu purchased a package deal for a hot spring hotel, which included meals and accommodation.

"I'm exhausted. If it weren't for the salary, I'd think I was a beast of burden." Zeng Zhu pulled off the face mask. "Let's go downstairs for dinner. I heard their Tom Yum soup is amazing."

"Let's go!" Song Qintang got up, dressed, and put away the toiletries by the pool.

When I got to the lobby, I saw Long Jianjia and Wu Haoqi in the private booth opposite.

The two sat facing each other. Long Jianjia saw her too, her eyes filled with pride and provocation.

She got up and sat down next to Wu Haoqi, leaning softly against his shoulder.

Even without Song Qintang saying anything, Zeng Zhu followed her gaze and saw the two adulterous couple. "Pah! What bad luck! Shall we go somewhere else?"

Song Qintang looked away. "No need!"

She shouldn't be the one running away out of guilt.

He had sworn this morning that he would never see Long Jianjia again, and that he would not divorce her even if she were sent to the police station.

What now?

Wu Haoqi truly brought out the worst aspects of men to the fullest.

He deceived his family and fooled those outside.

As the hot pot meal drew to a close, Wu Haoqi finally saw Song Qintang.

However, his skin was thicker than Song Qintang had imagined; despite her shock, he did not panic.

But he looked away in an instant, as if to tell her, if you don't keep me company, there are plenty of other people who will.

"Sisters, should we go up and tear them apart?" Zeng Zhu asked, her cheeks bulging as she gripped the spoon.

She really wanted to go up and tear off Wu Haoqi's face to see just how thick-skinned he was, still able to laugh and talk while eating with Xiao Sanjie even in this situation.

Song Qintang remained calm: "No need, tearing someone apart is illegal."

I don't like solving all problems.

She now hopes that Long Jianjia can play a role in the middle.

Perhaps because of the hot spring bath, Song Qintang slept exceptionally well tonight, completely oblivious to what time Wu Haoqi would return.

It wasn't until late at night that the Wu family suddenly became lively.

The bright lights in the garden and Ms. Mei's anxious footsteps woke Song Qintang.

After the car left the garage, the yard became quiet again.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It was Aunt Chang, the new maid Wu Lihu had arranged for her to come in. Her voice was anxious: "Madam, something terrible has happened!"

Seeing her flustered appearance, Song Qintang sat up in bed and asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Chang took a few steps forward, walked to Song Qintang's bedside, and whispered, "Young Master Wu and Miss Long were cornered at the hot spring hotel tonight."

"The paparazzi were originally there to photograph a celebrity couple, but when they kicked the door open, they saw the young master..."

"Young Master is with Miss Long... Miss Long is sitting naked on Young Master's lap..."

Song Qintang frowned: "What's the situation now?"

Aunt Chang sighed, "The paparazzi who were waiting at the hotel broke in while broadcasting live, and the identities of the young master and Miss Long were immediately exposed. Now the public is condemning them."

"The First Madam has already taken care of it. Miss Wu wants you to go over as well to discuss how to handle it together."

Song Qintang probably guessed Long Jianjia's intentions; the look in her eyes at the hot spring hotel that afternoon was anything but simple.

But the paparazzi coming while live-streaming... was indeed a stroke of genius for her.

The Long family has gained some fame in recent years thanks to the Wu family's support. A closer look reveals the close relationship between the two siblings.

Wu Haoqi was already married when he was caught in the act of adultery with his adopted sister; it's no wonder he was condemned.

Song Qintang opened her phone and glanced at it; the two of them were firmly at the top of the trending searches.

The following entries are all related to #Haoqi Auto Repair Scandal#, #Incestuous Relationships#, and #Pseudo-Incest#.

It generated more buzz than the celebrities who officially announced their marriages at the time.

Song Qintang felt no emotion anymore. She closed her phone and asked, "So, what do your aunt and uncle plan to do?"

Aunt Chang told the truth.

Ms. Mei gave the hotel staff a red envelope and got the person out through the back door.

As a result, paparazzi who were staking out the back door took photos, and public opinion immediately exploded.

The internet is criticizing the Wu family's family values ​​and sympathizing with Song Qintang, claiming that Ms. Mei protected her son and adopted daughter in an incestuous relationship.

Seeing that the matter was escalating, Wu Lihu promised the media that she would give them a satisfactory answer.

After listening, Song Qintang simply nodded, got dressed, and went to the Bai family with Aunt Chang.

As soon as you enter the Bai family's gate, you can hear the sound of whipping inside.

Wu Haoqi was kneeling in the living room, being beaten by Wu Lihu. As she was being beaten, she cursed herself for failing to live up to her brother's expectations.

Long Jianjia and Ms. Mei stood in the corner, not daring to even breathe.

On the way there, Song Qintang heard some news about the melodramatic drama that was going to happen tonight.

When Wu Lihu arrived at the hotel, she asked the staff in the guest rooms to check everything.

It turned out that Long Jianjia had tipped the waiter, who then poisoned Wu Haoqi's drink.

Wu Lihu was about to call the police, but Ms. Mei stopped her by kneeling down.

At this moment, the living room of the Bai family was filled with wails. Wu Haoqi was kneeling on the ground, and the back of his white shirt was covered with bloodstains.

Bai Chengze was making a phone call by the window because Wu Haoqi's matter had affected Bai's Technology.

In particular, Huaxing Group called directly to withdraw its investment.

Bai Chengce was on the phone while viciously attacking Wu Haoqi, who was kneeling on the ground.

Wu Haoqi remained silent and malicious, his head lowered, not uttering a word. But when he caught a glimpse of those white shoes out of the corner of his eye, his hands, which were braced against the ground, unconsciously tightened.

Wu Lihu, her face contorted with rage, pointed at Ms. Mei and cursed, "It's a disgrace to the Wu family for marrying you! Bringing such a scourge into the family and letting her wreak havoc on your own son—you just can't stand to see the Wu family doing well, can you?"

"It would only take a word for me to kick you out of the Wu family as well."

"And you too!" Wu Lihu pointed at Long Jianjia.
