Under One Person: The frog cub gave me an insulating claw at the beginning

After his hair and makeup were done, he looked at himself in the mirror and felt somewhat insecure. He was definitely not the same person he was when he was younger.

But he still wanted to keep that woman's heart, just like when he was young, at least to stop her from acting recklessly, so that he could save face in front of his lover.

"Look at my photos from when I was young, don't I look the same? Tell me the truth!"

When the master asked, the butler was speechless. He was definitely not the same as when he was young. The master was indeed quite handsome when he was young, but how could he compare to him now that he was old?
But the gentleman seems a little anxious now.

"Sir, you are slightly different from when you were young, but now you have a more mature and attractive quality that is absolutely impossible to find in others. So, sir, you are still the most unique person."

Under the butler's praise, Chen Qing's expression quickly changed.

“I knew I would be no different from when I was young. I believed that after that woman saw me, she would not have the heart to argue with me so much, nor would she want to have any disputes with me over this matter.”

He thought of the woman from his youth, but unfortunately, it was precisely because she knew so much about him that he couldn't keep her by his side.

Otherwise, with that woman's looks, she would definitely be the most qualified to accompany him on this trip.

But what men hate most is someone who knows their shameful secrets; they feel that such a person makes it impossible for them to face others.

"Remember, when Madam returns, tell her I have important business to attend to and I need to go out. Also, do not tell Madam that these people came today, and do not mention the photos to Madam either, or I will not let you off the hook."

After Chen Qing left, the butler remembered who the person in the photo resembled—it must look like his wife.

Moreover, it is almost exactly the same as the lady's, as the lady had said before.

The gentleman had once been in love with a woman, and he had always held onto that woman in his heart.

Now he realized that his husband still had feelings for that woman, and his wife was likely just a substitute.

The lady was unaware of the photos; if she had, she would have certainly made a huge scene.

Given the wife's wealth, if she were to have a falling out with the husband, their assets would inevitably be split in half, and the husband's business would also be unable to operate.

The butler seemed to have guessed some serious secret, and immediately felt that he had to keep his mouth shut tightly. If he accidentally revealed these secrets, he would be finished.

Finally, Chen Qing arrived outside the private room. In truth, he was somewhat uneasy and tried to squeeze out non-existent tears.

"Xiao Fei, I knew you were still alive, and I've been searching for you all these years. I never expected to find you here. Why didn't you look for me after you woke up?"

He acted very affectionately, but unfortunately, girls these days don't see any affection in him; they just think he's ugly to the extreme.

He must have been blind to fall for someone like that when he was young.

"Get away from me, don't get so close. You're really hurting my eyes. How did you end up looking like this? You're so ugly." He almost spat out his words as he spoke, he really hadn't expected the person in front of him to be so much less attractive than he was.

Chen Qing was clearly taken aback by the girl's current disdain for him. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make her so disgusted with him.

Why are you treating me like this? We used to be very much in love, but you're so resistant to me.

He spoke with an air of deep sorrow, but Xiao Fei felt nothing at that moment.

He truly regretted trusting someone so easily when he was young, which almost cost him his mother's entire business.

"I won't say anything else. Give me back what I gave you. It's my mother's family heirloom and contains information about her background. If you're unwilling to return it, then we'll have to see you in court."

His tone was stiff, and seeing his expression, Chen Qing quickly realized that it was absolutely true.

The woman in front of him showed no sign of backing down; she was determined to fight him to the death.

"Do you have to be so heartless? I sold that thing a long time ago. Besides, I went to great lengths to find you back then. You said that thing was valuable, so I went to great lengths to find you. Now you insist that I return it to you. Sorry, I don't have it."

After he finished speaking, there was no remorse on his face, only an expression that said, "You think you can get anything from me today? That's absolutely impossible."

Seeing his expression now, the girl felt nothing but hatred. How could she have fallen for such a scoundrel back then? He didn't want to take the things, and he didn't want her to find them either.

"Then don't blame me for being impolite. I will take my revenge on you one day. Although I can't do anything to you now that things are out in the open, there are still clues about what happened back then."

"And your current wife. She probably doesn't know about this yet. I've already sent someone to tell her. If she finds out, can you still stay in this house? You'd better tell me where the things are."

After Xiao Fei finished speaking, she turned and left without any hesitation, while Chen Qing felt extremely regretful.

Why didn't he deal with this woman back then, but instead spared her life, leading her to seek revenge against him?

"Why are you so heartless and ungrateful? I have already bowed down to you, and we were once so close. Your behavior is not only incomprehensible to me, but also utterly inhuman."

He was so angry he was about to curse, but unfortunately there was no one around. After returning home, he waited anxiously.

He knew that once his wife found out about this, she would definitely not let him off the hook and would relentlessly pursue the matter to the end.

"You're back. The housekeeper said someone came to visit today. Who could it be? You said you don't have any relatives left. Since it's a relative, why don't you stay for a meal?"

His wife sat there elegantly, sipping tea, her eyes seeming to see right through him. (End of Chapter)
