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

Wu Haoqi was taken aback at first, and the explanation that was on the tip of his tongue remained unspoken. "Chairman Gu, I...I understand."

Although he was unwilling, he knew that Gu Huizhou wasn't just talking; he truly had the means to do so.

This was the first time Song Qintang had ever seen Wu Haoqi so spineless, acting like a dog.

Wu Haoqi kowtowed heavily, "I will definitely stay far away from here from now on."

It was already a mercy from Gu Huizhou that he was spared, given his notorious iron-fisted methods.

Wu Haoqi was a rich kid who had been raised in luxury, but now he was so humiliated that he didn't even dare to lift his head. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. But as soon as he turned around, he heard a cold and deep voice.

"etc..."

Wu Haoqi immediately turned around, bowed, and walked to the pavilion.

"Take your people away! If I hear you're getting a divorce, the Wu family will be wiped out of Suzhou."

Wu Haoqi frowned in disgust and dumped the dirty woman on him.

...

Back at the Wu family home, Long Jianjia's face was full of joy.

"Haoqi... let's live a good life together from now on... ah..."

As soon as the door closed, Wu Haoqi slapped Long Jianjia to the ground.

"Long Jianjia, it seems I've been too good to you lately, making you forget your own situation."

The pain in her cheek brought tears to Long Jianjia's eyes. Because of the incident at the hotel, her business had stalled, and her auto repair shop was also struggling.

They were always pointed at and gossiped about when they went out, and even the elite social gatherings in Suzhou stopped inviting her.

Wu Haoqi warned her to behave herself and not cause any more trouble.

How could she have known that her attempt to scare Song Qintang would have such serious consequences?

"Haoqi... I didn't mean to..."

"Not intentional? You hired people to hurt her, kidnapping her and trying to gang rape her, and you said it wasn't intentional?"

"You tried to harm others, and ended up getting yourself into trouble." Wu Haoqi sneered, "I find you filthy even to look at! How dare you still live?"

Disgusted by the dirt?

These words were like a knife stabbing into Long Jianjia's heart.

She was a victim, yet her husband despised her for being dirty?

"Heh..." Long Jianjia staggered to her feet. "You think I'm dirty? If Wu Haoqi hadn't been entangled with that woman, would I have had her kidnapped?"

"You're eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot, aren't you disgusting? If you weren't, Song Qintang would be determined not to leave you..."

The moment he finished speaking, he received another solid slap across the face.

He is very strong and has long lost his former tenderness.

Long Jianjia covered her face and screamed in pain. Her cheeks burned with pain, but her heart ached even more.

Is this the man she went to such lengths to get?

The sarcasm above her head further eroded her last shred of dignity.

"Qintang will always be my woman. As long as I want, she can always stand above you. If you don't want to die, don't challenge my bottom line again."

The moment Gu Huizhou appeared carrying Song Qintang, Wu Haoqi was consumed by jealousy and hated the woman in front of him. He took it upon himself to push Song Qintang into another man's arms.

Thinking of this, Wu Haoqi wanted to strangle her.

His gaze was terrifying, and Long Jianjia trembled uncontrollably. In the past, no matter what she did, Wu Haoqi would never get angry at her, let alone hit her.

All of this was because of that bitch Song Qintang. Thinking of this, the resentment in my heart grew wildly like a spark.

Why didn't that bitch Song Qintang die?

She even found a man whom no one dared to offend to back her up.

To prevent myself from suffering all of this...

But right now, the only man she has still dislikes her.

"Haoqi...I really know I was wrong, I'm sorry...I didn't know the consequences would be so serious, I'll never do it again!"

Long Jianjia cried pitifully. How could she not be afraid? She had to grasp at this last straw. She could never go back to that old, run-down house.

Wu Haoqi snorted coldly, refusing to even glance at her, and turned to leave.

Only when she was alone in the bedroom did Long Jianjia wipe away her tears, and her pitiful appearance returned to calm.

She got up and walked to the bathroom sink, taking out a document from the innermost compartment.

The secret came when she returned to her old, run-down apartment and found that long-forgotten diary.

If Wu Haoqi had treated her well, she could have kept this secret for a lifetime, but now it's time for it to come in handy.

......

After the person left, Song Qintang was carried back to the bedroom.

Gu Huizhou left in the middle, and Song Qintang learned from Yue Heng that Long Jianjia ultimately reaped what she sowed.

She was secretly pleased, hoping that the two would hate each other and be locked together for life as a scumbag and a bitch.

After this incident, Wu Haoqi should never dare to bother her again.

Gu Huizhou didn't come back for dinner. She ate a few bites by herself and then went to bed.

She dared not hope to be able to move back into the Jiuling Mansion; the estrangement between them did not disappear just because she moved in.

The maid said he hadn't been back for many years.

Song Qintang knew her limits and didn't touch anything in his room; her gaze was filled with memories.

Her thoughts were racing until late into the night before she finally drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the dream, she dreamed that she was standing on that rooftop, about to fall.

Suddenly a warm ray of sunshine approached, and then closer, gently caressing her face.

She held on firmly to what she was relying on.

Gu Huizhou returned from the business bureau in the early hours of the morning. When he opened the door, the woman on the bed had her brows furrowed and her bangs were damp with cold sweat.

He looked down at her, only to be swept into her arms by her soft, fragrant embrace.

Her slender fingers were wrapped tightly around his hand, making it impossible for them to let go.

Gu Huizhou reassured him in a low voice, "I'm here."

The image of a woman had appeared countless times in his enchanting dreams, making his blood boil.

With his beloved in his arms, all he felt was the purest desire to protect her.

When Song Qintang woke up the next day, she stared blankly at her palm. The feeling was so real that she didn't want to wake up.

"Knock knock..."

"Enter!"

The maid brought in breakfast.

After a quick wash, Song Qintang found a dining table already set up in front of the sofa.

There are more than twenty dishes, each one exquisite and elegant.

"Miss Song, the young master said you're a picky eater, so he asked us to make a little bit of everything. Please try it and see if it suits your taste!"

Song Qintang was indeed a picky eater when she was a child, but now she can no longer be picky and orders takeout with discounts for orders over a certain amount.

Song Qintang ate everything cooperatively, and finally ate a few more bites of the two simplest breakfast items.

Just have Aunt Wang make these two kinds of things tomorrow.

After breakfast, Aunt Wang helped her downstairs, claiming it was to bask in the sun.

Aunt Wang didn't mention Gu Huizhou's origins, and she was too embarrassed to ask.

He wields great power and indeed has many things to deal with.

The flowers in the garden are no different from before, and the peony patch in the west courtyard still easily touches the soft spot in my heart.

She dared not hope for forgiveness, only asking that Gu Huizhou stop hating her.

Lost in thought, the noise from outside the garden snapped her back to reality...
