"Sister Lian had a fight with you and left. She went to Dafa Shopping Mall. But her two sons have been working at Hengchang."

My cousin-in-law was right. The last time we were able to turn the tables on the fake land deed, it was all thanks to Chen Lian. This time, Qin Xiaoyu wants to get rid of her completely, leaving her with nothing.

This trip to Guangzhou, with Chen Lian brought directly there for development, leaving no future troubles, was Qin Xiaoyu's well-intentioned plan.

She never expected that after Bai Weiwei was detained for a few days, Zuo Xiangyang would release her.

This was the first time Qin Xiaoyu had ever seen a man so ruthless towards her. Zuo Xiangyang was truly upright and incorruptible, prioritizing his career above all else; he hadn't been greedy for a single penny!

Unexpectedly, Bai Weiwei's machinations implicated him, thus exempting him from criminal charges, but not from administrative penalties. He was demoted for failing to properly manage his family.

The funniest thing is that before Bai Weiwei's financial problems were even resolved, her misconduct was exposed.

Poor Director Sun of the Second Light Industry Bureau, he managed to dodge the first day of the month but couldn't dodge the fifteenth, and in the end, he was dismissed from his post. His wife was a spineless person to begin with, and she couldn't do anything about him. When she went out, people talked about her behind her back, and in a moment of despair, she drank pesticide.

Although she was rescued, she became mentally unstable. She's not someone to be trifled with anymore; if Director Sun dared to say another word, she'd chase him for three blocks with a kitchen knife.

From then on, he lived a life of constant fear.

Bai Weiwei became a pawn to be discarded; even her mother, who had gone to the provincial capital, couldn't protect her and quickly distanced herself from her. Not to mention Zuo Xiangyang, who hated her to the core, and immediately filed for divorce.

He couldn't let such a woman stay even a day longer. He hated himself for being lustful and ruining his life.

This was probably the most humiliating moment of Bai Weiwei's life. Dafa Department Store had just started to see a return on investment, and business was booming. She could easily count her money now.

All the debts we owed can be paid off in less than a year.

But fate is cruel, and in those final moments, she perished.

"I heard that the child is Bai Weiwei's illegitimate son. Mayor Zuo doesn't acknowledge him anymore and won't even send him to kindergarten." Sister-in-law Xiao Si rushed back to report the news.

"I don't think it's necessarily an illegitimate child, but this Zuo Xiangyang is such a scoundrel. He won't even acknowledge his own child." Qin Xiaoyu still felt disgusted when she talked about this.

"You've probably forgotten that she was the one who harmed Zuo Xiangyang back then. It's said that Zuo Xiangyang's body was completely ruined, all thanks to her. How can you not hate her?"

"It's karma, I guess. It's just a pity for the child."

Qin Xiaoyu hesitated for a long time, but finally went to the detention center to visit Bai Weiwei before returning to Guangzhou.

Now the tables have turned, and she's out there now.

"It's also my fault for being careless and believing that woman's words. She's ruthless enough to lie low for so long." Bai Weiwei had already guessed what Chen Lian was up to.

"You've pushed me too far. I've already gone to Guangzhou, why did you have to provoke me again?"

"If I said I was innocent, would you believe me? You've offended more than just me, how do you know it was me who harmed you?" Qin Xiaoyu only believed half of Bai Weiwei's words.

"I don't care, I'm just that unreasonable. If someone messes with me, I'll take it out on you." Qin Xiaoyu just wanted to annoy her.

"Let me tell you, Chen Kai will get you sooner or later, you just wait!" Bai Weiwei shouted angrily, trembling all over.

"He harmed me, and I'll blame you too. You try it." Qin Xiaoyu smiled as she walked out the door. The female guard seemed familiar, but the way she looked at her was different now, filled with awe.

"You didn't need to come here. The place is full of yin energy," A Lei complained when he saw her get into the car, her face looking unwell.

"That's a small matter, Godmother can take care of it." Qin Xiaoyu has been feeling unwell lately, but she can't quite put her finger on it. Last time, Deng Jianyan took her pulse and only said that her spleen and stomach were not in good condition.

"Why don't you go to the hospital and get checked out? Do you still want to drink incense ash?" A Lei said irritably.

"Don't worry, you can drink it even if there's incense ash." Qin Xiaoyu was in a great mood and still wanted to banter. Seeing that A Lei's expression was not right, she quickly went up to him to coax him.

“I studied law and have witnessed a lot of power struggles. I know this world is dark. What you’ve done may not seem like much, but every time someone tries to hurt you, I can’t control myself. Can’t we live a peaceful life? You really don’t have to push yourself so hard.” A Lei parked the car near the water source, and the two of them got out.

“I know what you’re thinking. Whether here or in Guangzhou, you just want a quiet life. But I don’t think that way. Maybe I just have too much energy. You promised me you’d stay by my side and let me do what I want.” Qin Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe and hooked her arms around A Lei’s neck.

"Yes, I promised you, and I will keep my word. You've got me all wrapped around your finger for life." A'Lei kissed him fiercely.

"No one has anyone in control of anyone else, we're all the same." Qin Xiaoyu's face was already flushed when she broke free from his embrace.

“It seems like there’s no reasoning between us; you always win.” A Lei noticed that Gang’s depression had vanished, leaving only sweet nothings.

“You still owe me one more time, right here…” A Lei suddenly became naughty again.

"I promise you, once your house is built." Qin Xiaoyu giggled and tried to escape, but she was no match for him.

“You have to keep your word. There’s no one here.” Are picked her up and carried her toward the old house.

"What if someone does it? Don't you think my reputation is bad enough?"

“I like you, you bad woman,” Are said without waiting for a reply.

"No, let's go home, I'm scared..."

All she could do was beg for mercy, but unfortunately, what goes around comes around.

“We’re just unlocking a new location, what are you afraid of…” A Lei was still quite domineering.

Okay, Qin Xiaoyu felt once again that the two of them were like kids who had done something naughty.

Back in the car, the two had regained their usual ease. Conflicts seem inevitable in marriage, and this was the best way to resolve them.

Time flies, and before I knew it, more than two hours had passed and it was already dark.

When they walked into Building No. 4 hand in hand, everyone had a complicated expression.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu asked, feigning nonchalance.

"Are you two going to the construction site to carry bricks?" Deng Jianyan asked with difficulty.

Qin Xiaoyu then turned around and took a serious look at A Lei. What a mess! There was a streak of gray on his forehead, a black dot on the tip of his nose, but his chin was clean, probably because Qin Xiaoyu had wiped it clean.

And this body, these hands...

A Lei's gaze towards her was also strange.

The light was too dim to see clearly.

The old house was deserted year-round, covered in dust, so the state of his face, hands, and clothes was indescribable.

"Um, on the way home..."

"The car broke down."

"Yes, the car broke down. We pushed it a bit."

“Yes, a pushcart, just like this…” Qin Xiaoyu gestured.

"Did you push it with your face?" Zhou Yue subtly exposed her.
