Oh.

It was all just a dream, a bubble.

When her dream shattered, she realized with a start that her decades-long marriage was nothing but deception, hypocrisy, and darkness.

She covered her swollen face and went out.

When Jiang Mingda was found in his dormitory, he had changed into a clean navy blue suit, looking neat and tidy. There were calligraphy brushes and Xuan paper on the table, and his hair was combed so that every strand was clearly visible, as if he had just received a medal and returned in triumph.

Once upon a time, she admired Jiang Mingda's competence, ambition, courage, resourcefulness, and willingness to take responsibility.

She even lived with him for a long time with a touch of admiration, sharing all the hardships and tribulations with him, and never questioning any of his decisions.

She listens to him completely.

Because he was her hero.

hero……

Gu Meiyun walked heavily toward Jiang Mingda, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Where did you go just now?"

In the blink of an eye.

He's staying in his company dormitory.

Jiang Mingda turned around, picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and calmly began to write. In just a few seconds, a large "忍" (ren, meaning forbearance) appeared on the paper.

The brushstrokes are sharp, and the ink soaks into the paper.

Full of tension.

He didn't look at Gu Meiyun, but instead asked, "Why are you here in the middle of the night? Is something wrong?"

Gu Meiyun wanted to laugh.

She actually smiled.

"Hahaha, hahaha, why did I come? You're quite the gentleman, aren't you? Are you trying to say you're unfazed even when Mount Tai collapses before you?"

How ridiculous.

Before, she could really see him through tinted glasses, seeing only his good points and shining qualities. She was wrong; he was simply cunning, insidious, and malicious…

"Jiang Mingda, I ask you, do you still have any sense of ethics? Do you still have any humanity? Did you hesitate even for a moment when you harmed the child?"

Seeing that he remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened, Gu Meiyun could no longer control herself. Anger, fear, and resentment surged into her heart.

She rushed forward like a madwoman, grabbed Jiang Mingda's neat collar, and shook him wildly.

The pen in Jiang Mingda's hand was dripping ink.

He finally broke his silence, grabbed his wife's hand forcefully, and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? This is the company dormitory. You may not care about your reputation, but I do."

Have you no shame?

The two words pierced Gu Meiyun's heart like a sharp awl.

She went completely insane.

*Smack*

She slapped Jiang Mingda hard across the face, then shoved him a few times, spitting all over his handsome face.

"Gu Meiyun!" he called out.

"Pah! You're not allowed to call me by my name! Ever since you laid your filthy hands on Yueyue, you haven't deserved it! You beast, you animal, you bastard worse than a pig or a dog! I'm going to fight you to the death!"

Thump, thud.

Inside, a series of smashing and cursing sounds came from inside.

No one outside the dormitory could hear it clearly.

All that is known is that the couple had a fierce argument.

Zhou Xiangqun was the first to receive the news.

When he rushed over, the room was in a mess. Jiang Mingda had injuries all over his face, neck and head, and his clothes were torn to shreds, making him look extremely disheveled.

Gu Meiyun lay on the ground, motionless.

Her hair was disheveled, and blood was flowing continuously down her forehead.

"Get her to the hospital quickly, she's gone mad. After a huge argument with me, she banged her head against the wall..." Jiang Mingda said weakly.
