After her ninth miscarriage, she finally let her scumbag husband and her beloved get together.

Xu Wantang wrapped her arms around his neck in a flattering manner.

"Second brother is definitely a perfect 100."

"Just four points higher than Gu Feng?"

"They all got full marks," Xu Wantang emphasized.

"not enough."

"You... hiss..."

Why are you biting people when you're in a hurry?

Three hours later.

Xu Wantang's hand curled up on the edge of the bed.

"I...don't want to..."

"It'll be ready in a minute."

The man breathed heavily in her ear, his breath hot and scalding.

Xu Wantang's voice was muffled: "You said the same thing an hour ago."

"real."

"..."

While verbally coaxing her, her actions never stopped.

"asshole."

"Um."

You can never trust a man's words!

Xu Wantang's hair was soaked with sweat and lay flat on the pillow.

Cen Yuan, naked, poured water for her beside her.

"Go wash up first, someone will bring you food later."

"I don't have the energy," Xu Wantang said weakly. "You can't just keep eating like that just because you're trying something new, can you?"

"Shall I give you some to replenish your energy?"

"..."

Xu Wantang gritted her teeth and glanced at the time on the table: "Dance troupe..."

"I've asked for leave for you, sick leave. Those people in your dance troupe are all tricky. You're the most capable right now, and they were afraid you'd actually be chosen by Daisy, so they put something in your water bottle. Just pretend to be sick for two days."

Cen Yuan spoke with excessive composure.

Xu Wantang was stunned for a moment, then turned her face away: "How do you know everything? You've only been back for a little over a year, and you've spent most of your time abroad."

"Do you really think I've managed to accomplish so much in just over a year?" Cen Yuan held a glass of water to Xu Wantang's lips.

Xu Wantang blinked: "You, you had informants all along?"

"Mmm. Drink up, I'll take you for a soak."

"You can soak him, but you can't hit him again." Xu Wantang stared at the scratch marks on the man's chest.

She scratched him like this, and he still wouldn't stop.

Cen Yuan nodded: "Drink some water first, otherwise you'll get dizzy from the bath. Don't soak for too long either."

"Um."

More than half an hour later, Xu Wantang lay comfortably on the big bed.

"Second brother, you just said you know what happened?"

"What's so special about Gu Feng?" Cen Yuan asked in return.

"His serious demeanor was somewhat similar to Cen Shichuan's back then. He even said that it was the third wife who harmed me, but she didn't administer the drug, which left me completely confused."

"This just proves that our previous speculation was correct," Cen Yuan analyzed. "The drugging and the car accident were two completely different things back then, it's just that... Cen Shichuan discovered it in advance."

"Gu Feng and his wife are in an awkward position, and Cen Shichuan's power far exceeds theirs. It's normal for him to have known this in advance."

Xu Wantang wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, feeling somewhat agitated.

They probably didn't want to label Gu Feng and the first wife as bad guys.

They've had a tough time too.

Cen Yuan saw through her thoughts and didn't bring it up again, but continued, "I went abroad to deal with Cen Shichuan's mess. Although the news was blocked in China, Cen Shichuan was too high-profile before, and suddenly the project stopped moving. Everyone will definitely investigate. Outsiders may not understand, but do you think those people can't see through it?"

"People with vested interests are most likely to change their stance depending on the wind. If Cen Shichuan is unreliable, then the collapse will begin from the top."

"Cen Shichuan also announced his engagement around that time."

Xu Wantang nodded: "The engagement was proposed very hastily. From the proposal to the event, it took only a week. My parents dote on Xu Chuxue the most. They had said before that the Cen family must give them enough face before they would agree to an engagement or marriage, but they actually chose to keep everything simple."

She was already insignificant and had very little influence at home, so she knew very little about the world.

At the time, I was so busy grieving the end of my crush that I didn't even notice what was wrong.

She thought for a moment and said, "Cen Shichuan wants to use the engagement to divert everyone's attention. If he has the energy to hold a grand engagement banquet, people will assume that his project is fine, and it will also give you time to deal with things abroad."

"Mm." Cen Yuan nodded.

"But Gu Feng and his wife didn't want him to succeed, so they decided..." Xu Wantang paused, then bitterly finished the sentence, "So they decided to use my identity to create a scandal for Cen Shichuan."

Cen Yuan pulled her into his arms.

"You have feelings for Cen Shichuan, you're Xu Chuxue's sister, and the incident happened at your engagement party. This kind of scandal is indeed shocking, but they probably don't know that their plans have been leaked."

"Cen Shichuan should know that the engagement banquet can only be hyped up for a week at most. If he can't fix the huge loopholes in the project within a week, he, as the person in charge, will be held accountable and may even be sued by foreign companies."

The rest is clear.

Cen Shichuan took advantage of Gu Feng and the First Madam's plan and turned the tables on them.

Then, by having the entire Xu family coordinate the car accident, Xu Chuxue died, and Xu Wantang became the center of the storm.

This storm lasted for six months.

Cen Yuan was well-equipped to handle all matters overseas, ensuring the safe implementation of Cen Shichuan's project.

The benefits brought by Cen Yuan and the fame brought by Xu Wantang were almost entirely pocketed by Cen Shichuan.

Xu Wantang's face turned deathly pale: "Car accident... that driver really died, and before he died he was looking at me and calling my name."

Cen Yuan speculated: "The person who controlled the direction of public opinion at that time was Cen Shichuan. He said that the driver testified against you before he died. Is it possible that the driver knew that everyone around him was a bad person and that you were the only one who was kept in the dark, and he wanted to tell you the truth?"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Wantang immediately sat up.

Cen Yuan took a slight breath: "Lin Yue found out that the driver's family went to another city to buy a house and do business after the accident. The house was registered under the names of the couple. When they left, they even bought the driver's plane ticket. In other words, the driver never wanted to die. Someone must have wanted him dead."

"It must be Cen Shichuan."

Xu Wantang clenched his fists: "He must have tampered with the driver as well. He wanted to die so that there would be no evidence against him. As a result, he lost control of the vehicle, which caused his legs to be hit, and Xu Chuxue suffered a miscarriage."

Everything matches up.

Unexpectedly, they were all outmaneuvered by Cen Shichuan.

According to Cen Shichuan's plan, he would actually be able to gain both fame and fortune within a year.

But in his dreams, he pretended to be disabled for three years, perhaps...

Xu Wantang looked up and stared at Cen Yuan, perhaps Cen Yuan was the variable in her dream.

"What are you looking at?" Cen Yuan asked, looking down.

"Because you're so beautiful, I feel like my luck has improved since I met you."

"Isn't it a bit late to start trying to curry favor now?" Cen Yuan said with a faint smile.

"I'm serious."

Xu Wantang snuggled into his arms.

After a moment, she finally spoke and asked.

"Second Brother, since everything is connected, why did Brother Gu Feng and Madam do this? They haven't fought for anything all these years, there's no need for them to harm others like this right away, is there?"

"I don't know, but I'll find out soon," Cen Yuan murmured.

Xu Wantang looked at him curiously: "What...did you do?"

"It's not just Cen Shichuan who knows how to turn a blind eye to a scheme."

"So, who did you use this trick on?" Xu Wantang leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
