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

If Wu Lihu really has doubts, then no one will have an easy time from now on.

He had already backed down and let Long Jianjia go back to her own home, but Song Qintang was still not satisfied.

Seeing that Wu Haoqi was still unrepentant even at this point, Wu Lihu glared at him angrily, "You come here and immediately question her. Is this how you feel about not wanting a divorce? Last night you swore to me that you wouldn't let Qintang suffer because of Jianjia anymore, but look at what you've done!"

Wu Lihu sometimes wondered why they were protecting Long Jianjia like this.

However, this woman is quite capable; she even bewitched me back then.

They came to question me with just a few photos. Looking back now, I realize that after living for over fifty years, I ended up being a pawn in Long Jianjia's game.

Song Qintang's gaze darted back and forth between the two women, finally settling on Lu Pingping, who was lying quietly behind the glass window. She spoke, "Auntie, let's go outside and talk!"

After closing the door, Song Qintang slowly raised her head and looked at Wu Lihu. "President Wu, you grew up with Jianjia since you were little, I can understand that."

"I can understand that he can't bear to see Jianjia suffer. Now is the perfect time for us to talk things out."

"I do want a divorce, and I have no intention of making things difficult for Long Jianjia. I only ask that Mr. Wu agree to sign the divorce papers in front of my aunt."

"After the divorce, I will never mention it again in public, nor will I cause any negative impact on the Wu and Bai families."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lihu understood that Song Qintang's seemingly gentle tone actually concealed a preconceived ending.

She specifically mentioned the Bai family, and her meaning was quite clear.

She sighed inwardly, thinking that this was probably the only way to resolve the issue.

She had been hoping that by kicking Long Jianjia out of the Wu family and treating Song Qintang well, she could at least win favor with the Gu family.

Looking at it now, it's just wishful thinking.

I only regret that I realized it too late.

Her lips twitched. "Qintang, are you really sure you want a divorce?"

Song Qintang nodded firmly, "Leave!"

Wu Haoqi stared blankly at Song Qintang, who was neither crying nor making a fuss, and who could even talk about divorce so calmly.

She used to constantly oppose Long Jianjia, just to get a glance from him.

Now he has to hand him over to another woman.

That feeling of impending loss swept over every nerve once again.

Only he knew how painful this moment was.

He has already decided to treat her better from now on; he can even put Song Qintang first.

Now that she has received benefits from Ms. Mei, why can't she wait a little longer?

He had mistreated her in the past, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He now held the initiative; he could give her whatever she wanted from now on.

From now on, he will be in charge of the Wu family, and he will definitely protect her.

Song Qintang was wronged in this matter, but as long as she swallows her grievances and calms down, good days will come from now on.

Wu Haoqi shook his head, staggered a few steps, and said, "I won't get a divorce!"

"Once this is over, I'll take you to live alone, and we won't let anyone disturb our good days anymore."

"I have no romantic feelings for her; it's just a brother's care for his sister."

"Why...why can't you be understanding of me?"

Wu Haoqi closed his eyes, his voice tinged with barely perceptible regret, "I was sorry for what I did before, but I won't do it again."

After Wu Haoqi finished speaking, he fled in a hurry without giving Song Qintang a chance to speak.

He dared not stay any longer, much less look at her glaring indifference.

Watching Wu Haoqi's departing figure, she thought that if Wu Haoqi had said these words to her earlier, she could have forgiven him, made up with him, and continued living her life together.

But it's too late now.

Things I used to look forward to no longer excite me.

……

Gu Huizhou saw Wu Haoqi again at a review meeting of Baishi Technology.

This time when I met him, he was completely different from the smug and triumphant man he used to be.

Although he was wearing an expensive suit, he also had his signature smile on his face.

But the smile couldn't hide the weariness.

The Wu family was a relatively wealthy middle-class family, but they failed to provide adequate education for their children.

By Wu Haoqi's generation, the family traditions had deteriorated.

Even after getting married, he still had an affair with his adopted sister whom he kept at home, and mistreated his wife.

It certainly opened his eyes.

Then he remembered that he was the one who switched the prince with a cat, and the cat had to shrink back to become a human for the sake of wealth. Gu Huizhou leaned back in his chair, looking at Wu Haoqi, who was slumped in the back seat, with a slightly mocking gaze. Now it seemed that this was the ending he deserved.

He didn't expose the Wu family's affair, but rather wanted Wu Haoqi to struggle in the mire for a while longer.

Then look at what he was clutching tightly; it was slowly slipping away.

After looking away, he raised his hand to signal the start of the meeting.

The investigation into the Bai family has dragged on for more than a month. The longer it drags on, the more anxious the clown who can jump off the beam becomes.

Bai Chengce first reported on the company's financial statements and its future development plans.

Then came the speeches, one after another.

Gu Huizhou, who was seated in the main seat, did not speak.

It wasn't until Wu Haoqi began to speak about the vehicle maintenance of the Bai family's logistics department that things started to get interesting.

The assistant took the vehicle maintenance report, but Gu Huizhou didn't look at it. His phoenix eyes were half-closed as he watched the person in the back seat stumbling over the report.

He raised an eyebrow: "It seems that Mr. Wu needs to improve more than just his car repair skills."

Wu Haoqi was taken aback, his face flushed, and sweat began to trickle down his forehead. He hurriedly wiped the sweat away and forced a smile, "Chairman Gu... Chairman Gu is right to reprimand me."

Wu Haoqi was mentally prepared for Gu Huizhou's public challenge, but when the moment actually arrived...

He really couldn't hold on.

Gu Huizhou's casual remark made him feel like he had a thorn in his side.

He knew that Chairman Gu didn't like him, and that the current difficulties stemmed from the embarrassing incident he caused at the banquet at Chairman Gu's house.

Gu Huizhou narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze returning to the report materials.

Vehicle maintenance isn't frequent at Bai's Technology, but Gu Huizhou requested nearly three years' worth of reports.

Gu Huizhou not only observed carefully, but also asked Wu Haoqi a few questions every now and then.

Wu Haoqi was on high alert, afraid that Gu Huizhou would seize the opportunity to catch him making any further mistakes.

The journey took almost two hours.

He hasn't been sleeping well these past few days because of Song Qintang and Long Jianjia, and now he's extremely stressed.

His shirt was soaked through and wrapped around his back.

Gu Huizhou raised several questions: the headlights on one car were replaced, and then the same car was replaced again a month later.

However, there is no insurance or warranty record.

And then there's the oil change...

Wu Haoqi was so flustered by the question that he didn't expect Gu Huizhou to know so much.

Bai Chengce, standing next to Gu Huizhou, was already drenched in sweat. Gu Huizhou was known for his meticulousness.

Out of respect for Wu Lihu, he didn't make things too difficult for his nephew.

He was simply asked to submit the data perfectly.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huizhou found so many mistakes in what seemed like perfect materials.
