"Qiu Shui is just like her name, gentle as water. She is Zhixun's secretary... Qiu Shui speaks softly, always with a faint smile on her face, but she is decisive and efficient in her work. Whether it's work or taking care of Zhixun, she is impeccable. She has won the trust of Zhixun's father and is also deeply loved by Zhixun. From childhood to adulthood, Zhixun has only been with me. He has never been exposed to other women. It's normal for him to be attracted to a woman like Qiu Shui!" The woman said lightly, "Women raised in a big family like ours don't care much about a man's other women. After all, with Qiu Shui's status, it's impossible for her to marry into the Wei family. Wei Zhixun's wife will only be me!"

"My mom always tells me that it's normal for men to have affairs outside, and tells me to relax a little!" The woman sighed again, "But what can I do if I don't relax? Ever since I can remember, Zhixun has been everything to me!"

"Until Qiushui came to me and said she was pregnant with Zhixun's baby and asked me to help them!" The woman said with sorrow in her eyes, "Illegitimate children are taboos for wealthy families. This matter is not something I can handle, and of course I will never help them. I told all the elders in the family about this and asked them to make the decision for me. So, my father-in-law gave Qiushui a large sum of money and asked her to abort the child and stay away from Zhixun. However, she was much more difficult to deal with than we imagined. She refused to take the money and said she didn't want anything but Zhixun. My father-in-law had no choice but to order someone to forcibly take her to have an abortion..."

At this point, the woman was stunned for a moment. She picked up the teacup and took a big sip before she continued, "That woman actually disappeared out of thin air. In front of ten bodyguards and twenty pairs of eyes, she turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared out of thin air!" As she spoke, she looked at Lan Ziye with wide eyes in horror.

"What happened next?" Lan Ziye asked.

"Later, Zhixun changed his mind, and my family helped us arrange our wedding! Perhaps because of our years of friendship, Zhixun treated me well after marriage, and we enjoyed a peaceful and beautiful time. I often felt that this was actually quite good. Although Zhixun didn't love me the most, at least I had his first half of his life, and will have his second half too. That was enough for me, enough. But I never expected that five years later, Qiushui would come back, and she and Zhixun would hook up again."

"I stumbled upon them while shopping on Valentine's Day. I felt like I was struck by lightning, like the sky had collapsed. I completely lost my mind. I threw all my wits about me, disregarding my ladylike image. I flew into a rage, pulling at Qiu Shui like a shrew. During the fight... I saw the scales on her body! She wasn't human!"

The woman took another sip of tea and continued, "When the bodyguards first told us Qiu Shui had vanished, we all thought they were incompetent, had lost her, and were lying to us. We didn't take it seriously. After all, that woman hasn't been seen since. But I saw the scales on her body with my own eyes. They were hard..." The woman said blankly, "The result that day was that I stood stupidly in the middle of the road, crying, laughing, and howling. I don't know how long it took, and Qiu Shui took my husband away!"

"When I regained consciousness, I was already in the group's private hospital!"
