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

Han Yunqing overturned the ancestral tablets of the Gu family to the ground.

"Ungrateful wretches, all of them are ungrateful wretches..." Han Yunqing could no longer control herself at this moment. She not only smashed the memorial tablet, but also stepped on it to desecrate it.

"Since none of you in the Gu family deserve to be called human beings, then let's all die together today!"

In his heart, Gu Huaihua ruined the first half of her life, and his only son's choice to be with the daughter of his enemy undoubtedly ruined the second half of her life.

Yue Heng, who was outside the door, was pacing anxiously. He had informed Old Madam Gu when he arrived, and if she didn't come soon, Han Yunqing would tear down the Gu family ancestral hall.

Aunt Tang was also anxious and tried to pull Han Yunqing away, but she couldn't get close at all.

"Madam...Madam, please calm down...!"

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud rang out as someone's memorial tablet slammed straight down on Gu Huizhou's head.

The wooden memorial tablet grazed his forehead, leaving a trail of blood.

Upon seeing the blood, Han Yunqing paused for a moment, then was about to go over when the old lady's voice rang out from outside the door, "Enough!"

In recent years, Han Yunqing's health has been poor, so I have been quite tolerant of her words and actions.

Now, she angrily trampled on her elders' memorial tablets and even injured her grandson; she couldn't tolerate it.

"What kind of behavior is this, acting so crazy?" She glared at Han Yunqing and walked towards Gu Huizhou. Seeing that the person was injured, she immediately called someone to fetch a doctor.

"Mom, Huizhou wants to be with this woman, and he doesn't care if he breaks off all ties with me for her!"

On the way back, she heard a lot.

His gaze lingered for a moment when he looked at Song Qintang.

It felt like I was back in the happiest years of my grandson's life.

She remembered one time when Huizhou was hit on the head by fruit in the yard, and Song Qintang was heartbroken and cried.

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye. If in the end... they will still be together.

Even if she wanted to stop them, looking at Han Yunqing and Gu Huaihua's lives—one dead, the other insane—she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Go down and treat the wound first; everything else is minor!"

……

After the doctor closed the door and left, Gu Huizhou had a patch on his forehead.

His originally cold and stern features now exuded a wild and untamed spirit.

"Knowing you'll be harassed here, why did you still come?"

The slight anger in his tone made Song Qintang lower her head in shame.

If she hadn't come, Gu Huizhou might not have suffered so much.

She was horrified when the doctor treated his back injury.

So many years have passed, but the hatred has only increased.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with heartache. "I'm sorry, I don't want you to keep getting beaten by Aunt Han because of me."

Song Qintang knew about the feud between the two families and was not prepared to come.

But when she saw the photo Yue Heng sent her, her heart clenched and ached.

At that moment, she knew that the love she had been suppressing in her heart would always be there, and it would burst forth as soon as a crack was opened.

She truly loved Gu Huizhou and couldn't bear to watch him get hurt without doing anything.

Gu Huizhou was silent for a moment, then reached out and pulled her: "Let me see your injuries."

She threw herself on him and took several solid blows. The doctor wanted to examine her earlier, but she refused, saying she was fine.

"I'm really fine!" Song Qintang brushed his hand away and handed him the medicine the doctor had prescribed.

"Don't be so impulsive in the future."

He's a grown man, he can take a few hits without any problem, he can protect her.

Han Yunqing's overreaction today worried him; if he weren't there, Song Qintang might have been bullied.

"Don't come to the old house again after I'm gone!"

"Hmm." I shouldn't have come; I always cause him trouble.

Gu Huizhou pulled her outside, saying, "I'm worried you won't be able to handle this alone!"

He would never have explained such a small thing before, but seeing her looking down and deep in thought, he didn't want her to feel bad.

Song Qintang's steps became noticeably lighter. "Shall we go now? What about Aunt Han's..."

After treating Gu Huizhou's wounds, the doctor went to see Han Yunqing, gave her a sedative, and she is now asleep.

As soon as the two reached the car, Wu Haoqi's mocking voice came from behind them.

"Song Qintang, do you think marrying into a wealthy family is so easy! How does it feel to be kicked out?"

After the trending topic broke, he had been waiting for this day. Today, seeing Song Qintang hurriedly leaving Huaxing, he followed her all the way here.

This is the moment we've been waiting for, to see her kicked out of the house.

Let her know that no one will want her if she leaves him.

Song Qintang frowned, feeling disgusted at the sight of him.

"Mr. Wu probably has more to say about what it's like to be kicked out of your home than I do. I don't know whether to address you as Mr. Long or Mr. Wu now!"

Wu Haohao's face stiffened, then he let out a cold laugh, "I will always be a member of the Wu family!"

"That's not necessarily true. After all, you've already been kicked out of the Wu family, and even Long Jianjia, whom you tried to curry favor with, hasn't been recognized by the Wu family."

She stared coldly at Wu Haoqi, unaware that the moment she uttered those words, Gu Huizhou's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Enraged at being exposed, Wu Haoqi dared not be too presumptuous in front of Gu Huizhou. Even with the Wu family backing him up, Gu Huizhou could crush him with a flick of his finger. Besides, he was now all alone. He gritted his teeth and said, "Song Qintang, I'll be waiting for the day you come begging to me!"

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and walked away quickly in the other direction.

Watching his retreating figure, which seemed to be fleeing in a panic, Song Qintang indifferently withdrew her gaze.

Turning her head, she found Gu Huizhou staring at her. She was taken aback. "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing."

With that curt remark, Gu Huizhou opened the car door and got in.

Song Qinyuan looked through the car window at Gu Huizhou, who didn't even glance at her, and felt utterly bewildered.

Is he angry?

but……

Why?

After getting into the driver's seat, Song Qintang hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask for clarification.

Are you angry?

"no."

Song Qintang raised an eyebrow, her tone icy, practically screaming anger. "You still say no?"

"Why are you angry? Is it because I talked to Wu Haoqi?"

Gu Huizhou stared intently out the window, ignoring her.

"What are you angry about? You need to tell me so I know how to explain!" Song Qintang looked at his cold profile and suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he was like this when he was angry. He would keep a cold face and not say anything, sulking all day long.

Back then, Song Qintang was carefree and would run home without saying a word to anyone.

That evening, Gu Huizhou couldn't hold back any longer. With his hands behind his back and a stern face, he asked her for an explanation.

Aside from exchanging a couple of words with Wu Haoqi, Song Qintang felt she hadn't done anything to upset him.

Besides, she and Wu Haoqi are divorced, and she spoke to his face, so what is there for him to be angry about?

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Huizhou said sarcastically, "You do seem to care about him!"

Song Qintang was taken aback, her face full of question marks. "How did you get the idea that I care about him?"
