Upstairs, things were in turmoil, while downstairs, tensions were palpable.

Mr. Lin had just received a call from the company and heard that the stock was still plummeting. Enraged, he hung up the phone and slapped Zhuang Yufen hard across the face.

"I sent you to the seminar to help the company get business, not to cause me trouble."

"Now that you've caused this scandal, you're going to ruin the company."

Zhuang Yufen also saw the news online, and everyone was criticizing Lin Qingyi for being promiscuous and shameless.

She was also aware of the company's situation.

She was already overwhelmed, and now, after being slapped by her husband, she collapsed weakly onto the sofa.

She covered her burning cheek, her eyes filled with hatred. "You hit me! How dare you hit me?"

"If it weren't for your instigation, how could Qingyi have done such a thing? It's all because of you, you bitch, working behind the scenes." Lin's father was furious and slapped her again.

After being slapped twice in a row, Zhuang Yufen completely lost her temper. She brandished her nails, gritted her teeth, and lunged at him, shouting, "If I don't do this, when will your daughter be able to marry into the Xie family?"

"You were the one who said that the Lin family had done a favor for the Xie family, and that Xie Lanyuan would definitely marry Qingyi. But what happened? He would rather be with a married woman than even look at Qingyi."

"If Qingyi hadn't been under immense pressure, she wouldn't have been able to bring me back from abroad. Ultimately, it's your incompetence as a father that has made your daughter unhappy!"

"I just wanted to help my daughter fulfill her wish, but I never imagined that Bai Xuxu, that bitch, would be so cunning and turn the tables on us."

"I don't think I did anything wrong! Everything I did was for our daughter, for the Lin family's business, so what right do you have to hit me?"

Zhuang Yufen's face was contorted with rage as she voiced her grievances.

Lin's father was momentarily distracted and couldn't dodge in time, so she scratched his face. The stinging pain made him angry, so he pushed her away forcefully. "Feelings can't be forced. Since Lan Yuan doesn't like Qing Yi, then find Qing Yi another man. Why hang yourself on the Xie family tree?"

"But your biggest mistake was using drugging to harm people."

On the surface, the couple appeared to be very loving, but in reality, their relationship had broken down more than a decade ago.

This all stemmed from the fact that, over the past decade or so, he unexpectedly saw through Zhuang Yufen's true colors and learned that back then, it was Zhuang Yufen who used drugging to force him to separate from his former lover.

Lin's father harbored resentment.

For the sake of the company, he had no choice but to maintain a simulcast relationship with Zhuang Yufen.

The two have rarely met over the years, and have long since lost all affection for each other.

Zhuang Yufen is often abroad, and she only returns when there are unavoidable occasions where she needs to put on an act.

But he never expected that Lin Qingyi would actually call Zhuang Yufen back this time.

On such an important day as the seminar, he used harmful drugs on another woman.

"Your daughter likes Xie Lanyuan and insists on marrying him. What can I do?" Zhuang Yufen was no match for Lin's father and fell to the ground again.

Seeing that she showed no remorse, Lin's father went forward to teach her a lesson, but suddenly heard a loud noise coming from upstairs. He could no longer care about Zhuang Yufen and hurried upstairs.

Upon reaching Lin Qingyi's room and seeing the listless scene inside, Lin's father's pupils widened. "You bastard, what are you doing?"

Zhuang Yufen followed, her blood pressure rising. "Damn bastard, let Qingyi go right now!"

The couple rushed in together, trying to separate the two.

But Lin Qingyi clung to the bodyguards relentlessly, and no amount of their attempts to stop her could change anything.

"Doctor, we need to find a doctor quickly!"

Zhuang Yufen panicked completely and shouted hoarsely downstairs.

Bai Xuxu had no idea that while she was asleep, the weather in Kyoto had changed several times.

The drug is too potent.

He was tormented by Jie Lanyuan again.

She didn't regain consciousness until two days later.

The moment I opened my eyes, my phone on the bedside table started ringing incessantly.

She reached out from under the covers, grabbed her phone, and answered the call, "Hey~"

Having been asleep for so long, her voice was still soft and hoarse.

Lin Huan's voice came through the microphone, "Xuxu, are you alright?"

Actually, Lin Huan called the day before yesterday, but Xie Lanyuan answered the phone and said that Bai Xuxu had not yet woken up.

Lin Huan was still worried, so she called again to ask.

"Yeah, it's alright."

Bai Xuxu took her phone away and glanced at the time. The next second, her pupils widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

She slept for two whole days!

"I'm so glad you're alright. I was so worried."

Lin Huan breathed a sigh of relief, then brought up Lin Qingyi again, "This medicine is really potent. Don't even mention you, Lin Qingyi's fate will be even worse than yours."

"I heard that after being kicked out by Xie Lanyuan, Lin Qingyi returned home and soon after, the drug took effect, and she even slept with the bodyguard in the house."

"The two were inseparable. The Lin family was extremely anxious and found a doctor overnight to help Lin Qingyi detoxify. Only then did Lin Qingyi release the bodyguard."

"I don't know who leaked this information, but now the whole internet is talking about these scandals. Lin Qingyi is absolutely ruined this time; who would dare to want her in the future?"

Bai Xuxu narrowed her eyes upon hearing this.

She took the antidote, but she still couldn't control it.

Lin Qingyi inhaled half a bottle of medicine; it would be strange if she didn't go crazy and turn into a female beast.

No one knows who Zhuang Yufen got the drug from, as its effects are so terrifying.

"By the way, after you left that night, the teacher asked about you, and I told him you weren't feeling well. He told you to rest well and wasn't angry at all, so you don't need to worry."

Lin Huan suddenly remembered this and casually mentioned it again.

Bai Xuxu nodded, "Thank you for your help. If it weren't for your assistance, I'm afraid I would be the one being criticized and talked about by netizens now."

"Fool, what's our relationship? Why are you being so formal?"

Lin Huan's tone couldn't hide her reproach.

After that, she brought up Shen Mingzhou and Su Wanqing's story to cheer her up:

"I don't know what happened between the two of them, but they started arguing right there on the scene. Later, President Jiang had them kicked out of the door."

"As for Yan Zhengmin and Yan Minmin, they were even more amusing. They shamelessly tried to get close to the teacher, and guess what?"

Bai Xuxu raised an eyebrow. "What?"

Lin Huan laughed, "The teacher stood up for you in public, saying that he would never cooperate with the Shen and Yan families again. Yan Zhengmin lost face completely and could only leave with Yan Minmin in a sorry state."

"Besides that, there's another good news to tell you."

Although Bai Xuxu had slept for two days, her body had suffered, and she still felt terrible. Her eyelids drooped slightly. "Hmm, what good news?"

Lin Huan confessed, "The teacher has accepted Zhou Li'an as his apprentice, and Zhou Li'an will come to the research institute to study tomorrow."

"What did you say?"

Bai Xuxu was startled, and her drowsiness vanished instantly.

He immediately sat up in bed.
