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

Although Ms. Mei is the lady of the house, it is her sister-in-law who makes the decisions, both at home and at the company.

Even when scolded to her face, Ms. Mei dared not talk back.

It took Ms. Mei a long time to catch her breath.

Wu Lihu continued, "She dared to plot against her own sister-in-law and did things that damaged the Wu family's reputation. We can't let such a scourge stay in the Wu family."

He gave Long Jianjia a cold look: "You used to act all obedient and well-behaved in front of me. I only agreed to let you into the Wu family because you lost your parents at a young age. I didn't expect you to be such a troublemaker. Our Wu family can't tolerate you."

Wu Lihu wasn't immune to benefits, but when faced with the choice between the survival of her family, she chose the latter.

Although Ms. Mei has been married into the Wu family for over twenty years, she has no real power and can only rely on dividends each year to invest in a small business.

They had absolutely no say in the Wu family.

Now that Wu Lihu has spoken, she doesn't dare to say a word.

She knew that if she stood up for herself at this moment, she would not only fail to protect Long Jianjia, but would also put herself in a difficult situation.

She only hated that she had endured more than 20 years in the Wu family, thinking that she could get out of control after Old Wu died. She never expected that Old Wu would give the shares to Wu Lihu for safekeeping, and in the end she couldn't even protect the person she wanted to protect the most.

Wu Lihu only learned today why her brother was worried about entrusting the Wu family to her before he passed away.

Although she didn't like Song Qintang, it was only because she disliked her family background.

In recent years, Wu Haoqi's relationship with Song Qintang has soured because of Long Jianjia, and now they are even getting a divorce, but she turns a blind eye to it.

Unexpectedly, Song Qintang still has some influence in the Gu family.

So when she saw Yue Heng outside the door, even if she didn't want to take sides, she was forced to give Song Qintang justice.

Without Long Jianjia, there might still be a chance for the two to reconcile.

Both the Wu and Bai families will benefit from this.

Wu Lihu then said to Song Qintang, "Your aunt knows what's going on in this matter. Just watch closely, and I'll give you justice."

Seeing that Ms. Mei remained silent, Long Jianjia knew she couldn't leave the Wu family.

Wu Haoqi, who had always helped her, also fell silent.

She could only rely on herself. "Auntie, I'm really innocent. My sister-in-law was drowning. I tried to pull her out but couldn't. As for the car, I had been looking at it for too long and kindly asked someone to come and check it."

"As for the poisoning, it really wasn't me. I was just trying to find a fertility remedy for my sister-in-law out of kindness. I was only thinking of the Wu family's best interests."

Ms. Mei felt heartbroken watching Long Jianjia kneeling before Wu Lihu, pleading desperately. She said cautiously, "Sister, Jianjia is only trying to be helpful. Song Qintang is alright, isn't she..."

Wu Lihu took a deep breath. If it weren't for the fact that Ms. Mei was also old and in poor health, she would have thought that she would have been very grateful.

She really wanted to yell at her, "You're out of your mind!"

My younger brother is great in every way, except he's a hopeless romantic.

He could have married a wealthy heiress, but instead he fell in love with a dancer in this song and dance troupe.

Lacking foresight and offering no support.

This has caused the Wu family to decline for the past twenty years.

What is the status of the Gu family in Suzhou?

Not only in Suzhou, but also across the country, they hold sway over countless industries.

Thinking back to when Gu Huizhou personally visited last time, it was already a clue.

They even have an assistant waiting outside the door.

This means that the Gu family will have to take charge of this matter.

Ms. Mei's mind was still only focused on the present.

Wu Lihu glanced coldly at Ms. Mei. Although she didn't say anything, her gaze made Ms. Mei's hair stand on end, and tears streamed down her face.

"I really don't know what's going on in your head. You ignore your own son and daughter-in-law, but you spoil your adopted daughter all the time. Is the Wu family's money so easy to use?"

"Get her out of the Wu family. I'm making this clear right now: Qintang is the true mistress of this house!"

"Those with wicked intentions are not allowed to come again! Nor are they allowed to give her a single penny."

After saying that, she glared at Ms. Mei.

When Ms. Mei heard these heartless words, she almost thought she had misheard.

Jianjia is not allowed to come to the Wu family. Where will she go in the future?

How can she ever repay the debt she owes to Jianjia?

At this moment, Long Jianjia was already crying her eyes out. Her escape route had been cut off, and how was she supposed to live in the future?

Her performance fees from those few shows weren't even enough to buy a handbag.

No... she never wants to be Cinderella again.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and fell vertically to the ground.

Terrified, Ms. Mei stumbled and ran to Long Jianjia, crying, "Jianjia... Jianjia, wake up..."

"Haoqi, hurry to the hospital!"

Long Jianjia is in poor health and often faints.

Seeing Long Jianjia lying limp and pale on the ground, Wu Haoqi didn't think twice and rushed out with Jianjia in his arms.

.....

A negotiation was terminated because Long Jianjia suddenly fainted.

outside the ward.

"Why did your aunt suddenly side with Song Qintang?" This was something she couldn't understand.

Wu Haoqi sat next to Ms. Mei, and Wu Lihu's sudden change caught him somewhat off guard.

But he knew that Wu Lihu was a smart woman, and that she must have suddenly switched sides for greater benefits.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say he wasn't angry after seeing the video.

Although they had their little squabbles before, they had never escalated to this level.

Song Qintang has changed; she can no longer tolerate it.

He suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia for his peaceful and stable old days.

If he hadn't brought Long Jianjia to the hospital today, Song Qintang would probably have continued to make a scene.

He reached out and patted Ms. Mei on the shoulder. "I will plead with my aunt."

Ms. Mei looked up at him, grabbed him urgently, and said, "Haoqi, please don't. Mom knows you care about Jianjia, but your aunt is always a woman of her word. Wait until she calms down before you go."

The reason why Wu Haoqi was not allowed to go to Wu Lihu was not just because he was afraid of Wu Lihu.

Rather, it was a secret she held dear, one she would keep forever.

Wu Lihu's words just now awakened her; she was too biased towards Long Jianjia.

If this continues, I'm afraid it will get out of control.

Wu Haoqi nodded, "Okay, then I'll go find Song Qintang. As long as she's willing to forgive Jianjia, our family will be happy together, and Auntie won't be able to interfere anymore."

"Let Jianjia stay in the hospital for a while and don't let her go back, so as not to stir up trouble again."

Wu Haoqi thought that as long as Song Qintang couldn't see Long Jianjia, she would calm down and maybe stop making a fuss.

The reason she made a scene today was because he brought Jianjia back first last night.

Ms. Mei felt much relieved upon hearing this, and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

"It's really inappropriate for her to live in your marital home. Once she's better, I'll have her move to the guest room next to mine."

Bringing this up was Ms. Mei's biggest concession.

Over the past three years, she has allowed Long Jianjia to get close to Wu Haoqi, but she actually has her own selfish motives.

On the one hand, she hoped that Long Jianjia could have a legitimate identity to stay by her side for the rest of her life.

In the end, Wu Lihu really won't let Long Jianjia stay with the Wu family.

She would blame herself for the rest of her life.

Wu Haoqi stood up: "I'll go find Song Qintang first."
