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

Just as Wu Haoqi was about to reach out again, Song Qintang stepped aside and walked ahead of him.

Wu Haoqi stared in astonishment at his hand hanging in mid-air, then at Song Qintang's back as she bent down to change her shoes in the entryway, and stepped to walk beside her.

I don't know when it started, but the person who never got angry and always bowed his head to correct his mistakes has already escaped his control over words.

Even though he said some harsh words last night, she wasn't affected.

Perhaps he had gotten used to Song Qintang always taking the initiative to please him.

She used to start the conversation, and now that she's not saying anything, it seems like the two of them really have nothing to talk about.

He tried to start a conversation: "Don't go to work, I can support you!"

Song Qintang continued changing her shoes without stopping, her voice indifferent: "No need."

Wu Haoqi frowned: "You work from dawn till dusk every day, and you only earn a few thousand yuan. Besides, if you marry into the Wu family and then go back to work, people will laugh at me for not being able to support you!"

After changing her shoes, Song Qintang gave him a smile, clearly not wanting to say anything more.

Wu Haoqi's words, which were stuck in his throat, were all choked up when he saw that she didn't even reply.

He suppressed his emotions and said to Song Qintang, "Song Qintang, I'm not discussing this with you!"

Song Qintang glanced at Wu Haoqi in surprise: "Mr. Wu, as you know, I have a seriously ill mother to support."

She paused, then continued, "I don't want to cause trouble for the Wu family, and I don't want her to be left without even a hospital room!"

After saying that, Song Qintang stopped looking at Wu Haoqi's expression, put her slippers in the shoe cabinet, and prepared to go out.

"Stop!" Ms. Mei suddenly called out, "Come here, I have something to say to you!"

The "you" here refers to Song Qintang.

Song Qintang couldn't bring herself to turn around and leave when someone called her.

The two entered the living room one after the other.

When Ms. Mei's harsh reprimands came at Song Qintang, Wu Haoqi sat motionless on the sofa, a hint of schadenfreude on his face.

Of course, Song Qintang no longer cares.

She was already used to Wu Haoqi's team.

I also understand the consequences of her refusing to go upstairs last night.

In the Wu family's courtyard, she was the only outsider. Her every word and action was being watched. If Ms. Mei wanted to know about her affairs, she only needed to say a few words.

Her silence only made Ms. Mei angrier.

The teacup in his hand slammed precisely at Song Qintang's feet, and he pointed at her, saying, "Before, when Haoqi made you move downstairs, you cried and wailed all day long. Now that he's giving you a chance to move upstairs, you're putting on airs? Don't you even know who you are? A barren hen, you think you can just walk all over the Wu family like a hen?"

"What exactly are you trying to do! Is this how you treat your husband?"

Song Qintang took a step back and looked up at Ms. Mei: "Mom, since you know that it was Mr. Wu who asked me to move down, and you also know that we have been separated for three years."

Ms. Mei was taken aback, then looked coldly at Song Qintang: "What do you mean?"

Song Qintang shook her head: "It doesn't mean anything. My marriage has been in name only for a long time. If Mom wants a grandson, she can have Mr. Wu divorce me and remarry."

Ms. Mei stared at Song Qintang in shock, speechless for a long time.

Is this still the same Song Qintang who used to be cautious and meek?

Ms. Mei felt that the person in front of her had become a different person.

She realized what was happening and scoffed, "You said it yourself! Don't wait until I get Haoqi to divorce you, then come begging for forgiveness and refuse to leave!"

Song Qintang said calmly, "Mom, don't worry. If President Wu signs it, I won't hesitate."

When Song Qintang turned to leave, Ms. Mei was still in a daze.

She turned to look at Wu Haoqi, who was equally shocked, and asked, "Do you think she's gone mad?"

Wu Haoqi was taken aback, then straightened up and said, "I also think what she said went too far. I'll have her come and apologize when she gets back tonight!"

Before Ms. Mei could reply, Wu Haoqi ran out with the others.

It was strange enough that Song Qintang ran away, but Wu Haoqi actually chased after her.

Ms. Mei was stunned and stood there, then angrily smashed the teacup repeatedly, but still couldn't vent her frustration.

"What on earth is she doing, corrupting Haoqi too? How dare she ignore me?" Ms. Mei pointed at herself and muttered to herself.

"Does she think I'm a pushover? When Haoqi gets back tonight, I'll make sure they get a divorce. They dare to bully me; I won't let them get away with it."

"What's with this down-on-her-luck woman? Fine, let's get a divorce. Dump her, and the Wu family will be rid of a burden!"

"If it weren't for him, Haoqi would have been rich and promoted long ago!"

Remembering Wu Haoqi's changes over the past few days, Zhao Ma asked with some worry, "But what if the young master doesn't agree to a divorce?"

Ms. Mei paused, and after thinking for a few seconds, she understood what Zhao Ma meant. Wu Haoqi seemed to have become a different person these past few days, and had started to care about Song Qintang.

Aunt Zhao leaned closer and said, "I think the young master is really being manipulated by Xiao Song."

Ms. Mei rolled her eyes at Zhao Ma and sighed, "She's so spineless. She dared to mention divorce, and Haoqi still spoils her. If you ask me, we should teach her a lesson. Kick her out of the house and see if she dares to do it again!"

.....

The new drug development in the pharmacy department has reached a critical stage these past few days. After leaving the Wu family, Song Qintang didn't think about anything else. She changed her clothes and went into the research lab to concentrate on her work.

Looking at the time again, it was already midnight.

Director Yang brought her food and told her to come to her office.

When she arrived, she ran into a colleague who teased her, "No wonder you're Director Yang's protégé. He was worried you'd go hungry, so he went to queue up for you early. We don't get that kind of treatment."

She knew how good Director Yang had been to her.

That's why she felt even more guilty towards her.

Even at her age, I still have to worry about her.

Song Qintang smiled, knocked on the door, and entered the director's office.

Director Yang was sitting at his desk when he saw Song Qintang come in, and he quickly invited her to sit down.

I brought out the food. "These are all your favorite dishes. I just heated them up right away."

Although Director Yang is usually strict, his kindness towards Song Qintang is evident to all.

Song Qintang nodded and sat down.

During meals, Director Yang would stare at her, just like when Lu Pingping used to watch her eat with her head propped up and eyes full of love.

Song Qintang sometimes thinks that if it weren't for Director Yang, she might not have made it to today.

She remembered one year when she was kicked out by Wu Haoqi, and it was Director Yang who took her in.

I also cooked her some hot soup.

She still remembers that bowl of fennel and meatball soup.

Director Yang's daughter died young, and the two of them were like wild grass on the edge of a cliff, finding warmth in each other.

After Song Qintang finished her meal, Director Yang finally asked, "How have you been these past few days?"

Song Qintang understood that Director Yang was concerned about her return to the Wu family, and nodded gently, replying, "It's alright."

Although Director Yang didn't want to say it, she had to. She moved her chair closer to Song Qintang, took her hand, and said, "This Saturday, the Gu family's matriarch is going to hold a flower viewing banquet at the old house. The Wu family has also received an invitation. This is the invitation letter from President Wu."
