With a "bang," the phone fell to the ground, and the stark reality was laid bare before her eyes: the happy family she had imagined was nothing but a mirage.

"Now do you believe me? You and your mother are both the same kind of shameless sluts, shameless and promiscuous. You accuse me of cheating and say I'm disgusting, but the truly disgusting ones are you. If you really loved Zhuang Yan, would you have been fooled by my little tricks? If you really cared about him that much, why would you have run away from the wedding and smeared him online first?"

"And your dad, the medicine I gave him was just ordinary medicine. It would never have caused any problems before. The reason he's in trouble now is because of you. He was sick and hospitalized, and you didn't even make a phone call. Now you're pretending to be a filial daughter. Who are you trying to impress? Your daughter is useless, your wife is cheating on you. You're a real failure as a man."

"Everyone who gets involved with you suffers misfortune. Zhuang Yan is doing so well now that he's divorced from you. If you two got married, he would be following in your father's footsteps. That's why I said you and your mother are scourges, disgusting people from head to toe, inside and out. If it weren't for your money, I wouldn't even want you even if you were given to me for free. Now, it's all your own fault!"

When talking about these things, Gu Qian felt no guilt at all. He originally felt that what he did was shameful, but compared with Xia Wan, it was not much different. One was willing to hit and the other was willing to be hit. Why should he apologize while she hit and kicked him? Clearly, both of them were at fault.

Gu Qian's hatred for Xia Wan was made completely undisguised at this moment. If Xia Wan's mother hadn't seduced his father for thrills, his father wouldn't have died.

If Xia Wan hadn't given him any hope, he wouldn't have been so persistent with her, ultimately driving himself to his death.

He is greedy, but his greed was nurtured by Xia Wan. Why should she give him desires but not satisfy them?

She wavered between two men, enjoying the good things they brought her—one providing her with a good quality of life, the other offering her emotional support. She took all the benefits without giving anything in return. Why should she?

Gu Qian just hated her and wished he could destroy her right now.

"Xia Wan, if I go to jail, I won't let you off the hook even after I get out." He looked at the phone lying on the ground and gave a venomous smile. He lowered his voice and said, "I'm not the only one who knows about these photos. Once something happens to me, the photos will be exposed, and the whole internet will see your mother's affair. They'll even be posted on pornographic websites for people to enjoy."

These photos were secretly kept by his father, in case the matter was exposed and he was threatened. With the photos, he could at least protect himself and fight back against threats.

His father died before he could use it, but thankfully it was preserved intact so that he can use it now.

Gu Qian admitted that he was shameless and a scoundrel. Xia Wan was so angry, she could kill him if she dared, and he was willing to drag her to hell with him.

Gu Qian spoke so confidently, stabbing Xia Wan in the back again and again. Under his provocative gaze, Xia Wan's moral bottom line was completely shattered.

A surge of hatred welled up in her eyes—hatred for Gu Qian, and also hatred for herself.

Just as she was about to take out the knife from her bag, the police outside, seeing that things were not going well, rushed in and stood between them.

Upon seeing the police officers in front of her, Xia Wan felt as if she were immersed in cold water. Although the room was heated, she could not feel any warmth, only a bone-chilling cold.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through her stomach. She bent over, pressing her entire palm tightly against her stomach. She gagged, and this time she not only vomited bile but also a mouthful of blood.

The ringing in her ears sounded like a bell. Xia Wan bit her lip tightly and was caught by a policewoman before she collapsed.

When she woke up, she was already at the hospital, and the first person she saw when she opened her eyes was the housekeeper.

"Miss, you're finally awake! You scared me to death."

Xia Wan gave a weak smile. She wished it was just a nightmare, but the images that kept popping up in her mind seemed to repeatedly remind her that it wasn't a dream.

She turned over to get out of bed, but the housekeeper stopped her.

"Miss, you're still on an IV drip."

Xia Wan then noticed the IV drip hanging on her arm and asked, "Where's my dad? How is he?"

The butler shook his head, his face pale: "Chairman Xia is still lying down and hasn't woken up yet."

She fainted before her father woke up. How will she face him when he wakes up?

"Butler Wang, in your memory, were my parents loving?"

Butler Wang has been working at the Xia family for a long time. When he first entered the Xia family, Lu Mei was still alive.

But so much time had passed that Butler Wang couldn't remember clearly. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "They were in love." If they weren't, Xia Qingshan would have remarried long ago. He had been single all these years because he still cherished that relationship.

Does my mom love my dad a lot?

"Feelings are mutual. It is precisely because Madam loves Chairman Xia that Chairman Xia has never forgotten her all these years."

There's a term called "wishful thinking." What you perceive as good is only superficial. If Mom truly loved Dad, she wouldn't have cheated on him with the driver.

"Miss, should we hire a lawyer for Gu Qian?" The butler already knew the whole story and was surprised that Gu Qian was able to drug Xia Qingshan right under so many people's noses.

Xia Qingshan is currently hospitalized with a serious illness, and he cannot escape responsibility; he will be imprisoned for at least 10 years.

"Hire a lawyer."

The housekeeper was taken aback, thinking that Xia Wan was still hung up on Gu Qian because of her romantic feelings.

Xia Wan said, "I'm going to hire a lawyer and sue Gu Qian, sue him to death!" If Gu Qian doesn't die, then let him stay in prison a long time and make him wish he were dead.

“In addition to poisoning, I would like to add another charge: spreading obscenity, which would make the crime even more serious.”

If we let Gu Qian go now, that would be letting Xia Qingshan down. As for those photos, Lu Mei didn't care when she was alive, so she probably cares even less now that she's dead.

He hired a lawyer and followed the procedures. Gu Qian was thinking of divorcing Xia Wan and taking the 50 million to live a carefree life. Now, he'll have to spend most of his life in prison.

While the Xia family still holds some real power, they should send Gu Qian a lavish gift.

Most of the prisoners who were locked up with Gu Qian had violent tendencies. Their malice was suppressed under the supervision of the prison guards and had nowhere to go, so everyone became restless late at night.

Knowing that Gu Qian had been with other men, they wanted to try it too. Gu Qian, with his head shaved, was a handsome young man. A popular young actor like Gu Qian, when he took off his clothes, was even more attractive than a woman.

It's easy to imagine that throwing Gu Qian into this group of men would be like throwing a piece of fat meat into a pack of wolves.

Gu Qian couldn't believe Xia Wan was so cruel, but she did it anyway, without a trace of mercy.

In the hospital, Xia Qingshan woke up, but as the doctor had diagnosed, he was paralyzed from a stroke.
