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

As he uttered those words, countless memories of the past rushed back to him.

Countless times, Song Qintang had begged him to spend time with her.

Now it's the other way around.

Wu Haoqi didn't know what was wrong with him, that he would lower himself to say such a thing to her.

They're a married couple!

How did things get to this point?

Song Qintang paused for a moment, "No need, you go with Jianjia to choose a dress first, I still have data to send."

After finishing her sentence, Song Qintang ignored Wu Haoqi's expression and stepped inside.

She knew that Wu Haoqi's words just now were meant to get her to speak up and beg him to stay.

But she no longer needs his company.

The cold treatment she received over the years had long since forced her to stop depending on others and stop expecting anything from them.

He had long been used to her prioritizing him and revolving everything around him. When he was happy, she would give him a smile, but when he was unhappy, she could easily abandon him.

Even though he knew he would be sad, he didn't care.

Now that she doesn't care anymore, he feels uneasy.

She didn't believe that Wu Haoqi had suddenly realized his debt to her, or that some rumors outside had led him to these unusual actions.

She believes it was Wu Haoqi's stress response to no longer being able to control her.

He was used to being in control, and even more used to her compromises.

He couldn't stand her when she returned to being an uncontrollable, thoughtful person who didn't develop the way he expected.

Wu Haoqi stared blankly at Song Qintang's retreating figure.

He always thought she was a caged bird that could be manipulated at will, and that a few cold words and a bit of suppression could stir up all her emotions.

But seeing her calm and composed demeanor, he was suddenly startled.

All her previous methods, which had always worked, had failed her; she would no longer be swayed by his emotions.

A sudden, overwhelming sense of panic gripped him.

His ingrained desire for control screamed wildly; he would never allow her to break free of his control.

Seeing Wu Haoqi's distressed expression, Long Jianjia walked to Wu Haoqi's side and whispered, "Why doesn't your sister-in-law care about Brother Qi at all? She lets him have his way. Jianjia feels sorry for him."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, showing a deep sense of immersion in the story.

Wu Haoqi turned his head to look at Long Jianjia's face and saw a tear coming out of her eye. He felt a mix of emotions.

In truth, he knew in his heart that Song Qintang used to care for and cherish him, and her sudden change caught him off guard.

The couple had been married for three years, and it seemed they had never gone out alone together.

He accompanied Jianjia countless times, but never once did he spend time with her.

He wanted to make it up to her.

Today, his original plan was to send Jianjia back first, and then take her shopping to buy some clothes.

She didn't turn around until the figure disappeared from sight.

Wu Haoqi seemed to have lost all his strength. Only when Long Jianjia came over and took his arm did he exhale a breath of stale air and say, "Let's go."

Song Qintang went straight back to her room. In fact, she hadn't worked today; it was just an excuse to fob off Wu Haoqi.

She simply lay down on the bed and started scrolling through her phone.

I had just been scrolling for a short while when a video popped up on my phone.

Upon closer inspection, it was found in the Wu family's basement.

Long Jianjia, accompanied by a man carrying a bag, approached the basement and pointed to her car.

The man gave her an OK sign, put down his bag, and lifted her hood.

No wonder Li Yongning said that the brake pads were being rubbed too hard.

The video shows that Long Jianjia answered one electricity call after another and hurriedly returned.

Less than two minutes later, the man restored the scene to its original state and left.

Then Wu Haoqi's car drove in.

The next day, Song Qintang drove off directly.

Song Qintang was shocked. In the past three years, she had been tolerant of her in every way. Even when she was wronged and had no way to complain, she never thought of harming her.

But Long Jianjia wanted her dead.

Thinking of this, Song Qintang remembered that on the day of the car accident, Long Jianjia, who never sat in the passenger seat, had actually sat in the back.

Perhaps she never expected that the person who came to pick her up that day would be Song Qintang.

To avoid arousing suspicion, I sat in the back seat and fastened my seatbelt.

I had just finished watching the video when Li Yongning called.

What are your thoughts after watching it?

Song Qintang stood up, walked to the door, glanced at the video, and then whispered, "Where did you get the video?"

The video angle appears to be from the surveillance camera in the Wu family's underground parking lot.

Getting the video won't be easy.

"Never mind where I got it from, just tell me if it works or not!"

Even with her good temper, Song Qintang had already made up her mind after watching the video.

In the past, Long Jianjia would always use provocative tactics to humiliate her, and she had no choice but to endure it.

But now that Long Jianjia wants her dead, she will no longer tolerate it.

She whispered, "Thank you, it's very useful. This video will be my most powerful weapon."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yongning sent a message to a number: "[Sent!]"

Fortunately, Song Qintang didn't press him about the source of the video, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to explain himself.

.....

The shopping mall on the other side.

Long Jianjia, wearing the latest dress, came out of the fitting room and saw Wu Haoqi sitting on the sofa as if he had lost his soul.

The disappointment on his face was something she had never seen before.

She couldn't help but curse Song Qintang inwardly; she would come up with any trick to steal her man.

Although she appeared to have won, Wu Haoqi's heart had already followed that resolute figure back to the Wu family.

Having composed herself, she put on an innocent and harmless smile, walked up to Wu Haoqi, and circled around him. "Brother Haoqi, how was it?"

"It looks great!" Wu Haoqi glanced at it casually, then got up to pay the bill.

Having witnessed his burning gaze, and now seeing his perfunctory attitude, Long Jianjia felt more uncomfortable than if she had swallowed a fly.

She stepped forward and grabbed his arm, her voice soft and sweet, "Wait, let me pick out another one for your sister-in-law. I guarantee she'll make up with you as soon as we get back!"

Wu Haoqi nodded with satisfaction as his previously dejected gaze was instantly brightened.

When Wu Haoqi returned home that evening, Song Qintang was already asleep.

Wu Haoqi stood at Song Qintang's door and felt a pang of sadness when he saw the light that had already been turned off through the crack in the door.

Why didn't she wait for him?

Even if Song Qintang went to bed early in the past, she would still get up to greet him when she heard his footsteps coming home.

He only discovered his membership had been upgraded when he checked out at the mall tonight.

He had bought countless things for Long Jianjia, but he had never bought her anything here.

The cashier often saw him coming with Long Jianjia and marveled at how generous he was to his wife, but he was too ashamed to look up.

I never felt guilty before, but now my heart is full of resentment.

He looked down at the shopping bag in his hand and thought to himself that he must make it up to her later.

She had been wronged, but he already knew.

In the future, he would prefer that Song Qintang could argue and vent her emotions with him when she was in a bad mood, so that at least he could feel that she still cared about him.

But how could Song Qintang not care about him?

Just like Long Jianjia said, perhaps she cares too much about herself, so she wants to get her attention in this way.

Wu Haoqi sighed helplessly at Song Qintang's scheming.

He had only asked her to stop targeting Jianjia, but she insisted on getting jealous and is now resorting to petty tricks in front of him.

"Fine," Wu Haoqi thought, "as long as she still cares about me, I'll indulge her this once."

Wu Haoqi took a deep breath and opened the door.
