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

Song Qintang lowered her head and refused to speak.

Wu Haoqi's heart sank.

Yes, she's not even willing to help him maintain a respectable image in front of his elders anymore.

He ultimately lost that obedient person.

Seeing Song Qintang's attitude, Wu Lihu immediately smiled and changed the subject, "You've all had a long day, let's call it a day and everyone should get some rest."

As Wu Haoqi saw Wu Lihu off, Wu Lihu sighed, "I think Qintang is determined to divorce you. Let's both prepare ourselves!"

Wu Haoqi felt as if all the energy had been drained from his body, and the grievances in his heart suddenly burst forth. "Auntie, please help me."

"I regret it, I don't want a divorce!"

Wu Haoqi's eyes were red, and his voice was pleading.

This was the first time Wu Lihu had seen Wu Haoqi so upset; his shoulders were slumped, and he had no energy at all.

Wu Lihu sighed, head bowed, "You've gone too far these past three years."

"Sigh... I can't entirely blame you. Long Jianjia is too scheming and has caused chaos in this family. Even if I want to help you now, I also have to consider the people behind Song Qintang."

"I thought that if we kicked Long Jianjia out of the Wu family, you would reconcile, but now it seems we've all realized it too late."

After saying that, Wu Lihu took a deep breath, waved, and got into the car.

Wu Haoqi returned to the second floor dejectedly. The usual liveliness was gone, and the two women who used to fawn over him had both left him.

Just as he was about to push open the door to the room, Ms. Mei called him into the study.

Ms. Mei complained to Wu Haoqi about Song Qintang producing the bill, hoping that he would get angry and divorce Song Qintang.

Unexpectedly, Wu Haoqi lowered his head further and further, unusually speaking up for Song Qintang. "She has never asked me for money."

"Mom, isn't this chaotic enough? I won't divorce Song Qintang."

Ms. Mei was taken aback. "What about Jianjia? She only has eyes for you."

Before Ms. Mei could finish speaking, Wu Hao interrupted her, saying solemnly, "Mom, Jianjia and I are just siblings."

"All I want now is to live a good life with Qintang."

"If Jianjia hadn't wanted to harm her, she wouldn't be using this to force me to divorce her."

Ms. Mei was speechless, never expecting that Wu Haoqi would one day pin the blame on Long Jianjia.

He used to be very protective of Jianjia, and he would unconditionally defend her even if she was wrong. But now, judging from his tone, it seems like he's blaming Jianjia.

Both of them are making things difficult for Jianjia.

As a mother, she couldn't help but scold, "If she wants to sue, she can sue. Why bother putting on this act in front of me!"

After saying that, she slammed the door and left.

They're all heartless. It's one thing for Wu Lihu not to help her, but now even the son she raised is siding with outsiders. She can't rely on anyone anymore. If she wants to save Jianjia, she can only rely on herself.

Ms. Mei went out early the next morning.

She ignored even when Wu Haoqi greeted her.

Wu Haoqi thought about it all night. Long Jianjia once said that the flower women like the most is any flower.

He has mistreated Song Qintang these past few years, and it's time to make it up to him.

So as soon as Song Qintang came out of the room, Wu Haoqi went to greet her.

"I ruined your clothes a few days ago. Here's a card for you. You can buy whatever you want from now on."

Song Qintang did not take the bank card handed to her, and Wu Haoqi continued, "I have wronged you all these years, and I will make it up to you tenfold in the future."

"And I won't go to Long Jianjia's place again."

After saying that, Wu Haoqi stepped forward, his eyes full of remorse and sincerity, "Qintang, she will never appear among us again."

"Let's live our lives well."

"I will never let you suffer any more injustice."

People have a thousand faces, and their hearts are ever-changing.

Song Qintang couldn't understand why Wu Haoqi was now regretting breaking up with her.

She even felt annoyed.

Yes, she was starting to get annoyed with Wu Haoqi.

Song Qintang shifted her position slightly, but still said, "Mr. Wu, I don't need it."

His voice was as flat as ice.

These words stunned Wu Haoqi, who stood frozen in place, his scarlet eyes staring at her like a lion about to erupt in fury: "You weren't a cold-blooded and ruthless person before."

"I know I was wrong, what are you going to do about it?"

"Tell me the truth, now that you have the Gu family backing you up, are you trying to kick me while I'm down?"

As he spoke, Wu Haoqi chuckled and took a few steps closer. "So what kind of family is the Gu family? Why are they backing you up? Tell me, did you sleep with someone?"

He shook Song Qintang's shoulders almost frantically, "Song Qintang, tell me, is it true?"

Song Qintang stared at him in shock, unable to believe that these words had come from Wu Haoqi's mouth.

In his heart, was she really that worthless?

Song Qintang tried to push him away, but Wu Haoqi, as if possessed, unleashed all his anger on his hands, which were shaking her shoulders. "Back then, didn't you climb into my bed like this?"

As Wu Haoqi spoke, he lowered his body, forcing Song Qintang forward. His voice was filled with endless sarcasm, "For money, you were willing to drug me and throw yourself at me like those prostitutes. Now that you have a better option, you're going to use the same old tricks again?"

"Song Qintang, how shameless are you...?"

"Slap!" Wu Haoqi's humiliating words were stopped by a slap.

When Wu Haoqi came to his senses, he looked at Song Qintang in disbelief, at the redness in her eyes, and at her shattered self-esteem.

Of course he knew Song Qintang wasn't that kind of person, but if he didn't bring up the past, how could he control her?

Wu Haoqi pointed a finger at her nose and said, "Song Qintang, even if I'm having an affair with another woman, as the one you schemed against, you still owe me something."

"If I hadn't married you back then, you and your daughter would have been dead long ago."

"The Gu family may be rich, but they're not stupid. Why would they want a withered woman like you?"

"Wake up! How can you live without me?"

After venting his anger, Wu Haoqi experienced a brief moment of pleasure. He felt that if he laid out the real issues, Song Qintang would understand.

Song Qintang held tightly to the pressing chest, suppressing a sob as she spoke, "Even if I never marry, I will never stay in the Wu family to suffer your humiliation."

Wu Haoqi, like a deflated pleader, took a step back, staring blankly at her. He took a deep breath, his last bit of patience remaining, and said, "Qintang, don't say anything hurtful to me!"

"Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

He just wanted Song Qintang to stay by his side, even if it meant doing things that would hurt her.

Seeing him momentarily distracted, Song Qintang pushed him away. "What are the consequences? Will you ask the higher-ups to make things difficult for me?"

"Or should I lose my job?"

"I'm not afraid of any of that. After all, I only make a few thousand a month, and luckily I also have a piece of land. What do you think, Mr. Wu?"

It wasn't just Wu Haoqi who could threaten her; she could too.

When the topic of that piece of land came up today, Wu Haoqi wasn't as sensitive as before. After thinking for a few minutes, his tone softened considerably. "Qintang, shouldn't we, as husband and wife, avoid saying things that hurt our feelings? You know perfectly well that I'm counting on that land to start my company right now."

"When I start making money in the future, I'll give you all my annual income, not just the rent!"
