The two embraced tightly and kissed passionately, lost in their own world.
In the corner of the stairwell, a malicious gaze lingered on them.
Cai Xinran trembled slightly as if she had sensed something, and then pushed away the heartless man who had hurt her so deeply.
"Go to the factory and resign first, get this month's salary. Our son is waiting at home, I have to go back!"
Sun Yanxia hid behind the wall and heard the word "son," her fingernails almost pierced her palms.
Cai Xinran hurriedly went downstairs from the other side. Chang Guofu watched her leave, thinking about how he had once again fooled a woman effortlessly, and let out a series of smug laughs.
Once the family of three returns to Beijing, those horrible days will finally be a thing of the past!
Chang Guofu smiled and walked towards the stairs when suddenly a gust of wind blew, and he fell heavily from the third floor.
Snap—
My lower body was in excruciating pain, my vision was blurred, and the taste of bright red rust filled my mouth!
At that moment, Chang Guofu realized with absolute clarity that his future life would be rapidly heading in another direction.
"Help! Someone has fallen from a building!"
Cai Xinran returned to her nearby rented apartment to pick up her child, who suddenly burst into tears, causing her to panic.
Has Chang Guofu changed his mind again?
She would never stay and suffer with Chang Guofu, no matter what. She had had enough!
As long as they return to the capital safely, the Chang family will definitely take them in, considering the fact that their child is only a few days old.
A commotion arose downstairs, and Cai Xinran carried her child outside.
"...Is Chang Guofu's home here? He fell from a building!"
"Yes, yes, he usually lives on the third floor. I just saw his wife coming back from outside!"
“They’re from out of town. How are they going to make a living after this? His wife doesn’t work and stays home with a child who has health problems. And that’s not all. His father is even worse. He comes over every few days asking for money. The whole family depends on him to support them!”
"It's not a problem. His wife has finished her postpartum confinement. They can find someone to help take care of the baby so his wife can go out and support the family. It's just that the medical expenses..."
Cai Xinran couldn't bear to listen anymore. She ran back to get her documents and the last bit of money her family had.
Bring your child along.
He wrapped a scarf around his head, fully armed, and took advantage of the chaos to run out from the first floor.
We hailed a motorcycle and headed to the train station.
Not long after she left, an unfamiliar woman crept up from the first floor and quickly came down from the third floor, after which the third floor caught fire.

Fu Lao and others returned to the research institute to resume their work, and the institute flourished. At the same time, Director Ma's power was inevitably greatly reduced.
Director Ma, however, maintained a pleasant expression throughout.
Thanks to the hard work of Professor Fu and Chang Xingwang, the institute's key projects for this year have been put on the agenda and are progressing rapidly, and the mistakes made by Chu Qi have been mitigated.
Director Ma breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had fewer worries.
That day, as the project was progressing rapidly and officially entering the next phase, Director Ma waited outside the office after the research team finished their meeting.
Chang Xingwang walked out of the office.
Director Ma stepped forward to apologize: "Comrade Chang, I was delayed by some things before, and the small red building assigned to you couldn't be vacated for a while. Thanks to your understanding of the research institute's situation, you gave me some time to prepare. Today I'm here to tell you some good news: your house has been vacated!"
Old Fu's face was full of wrinkles. Having a house would be the best thing. His student traveled back and forth every day without fail, so there was no house available!
With this problem resolved, Xiao Chang will be able to devote more energy to his work in the future.
"Okay, I understand!" Chang Xingwang replied casually.
He then impatiently abandoned everyone and ran to call Zhou Hongyu.
...
Director Ma barely managed to keep a straight face: "Comrade Chang, your mind is a bit elsewhere..."
Old Fu laughed heartily: "It's alright, he's more dedicated to his work than anyone else!"
Director Ma forced a smile and was about to say a few more words when another old man, Cheng, standing next to Old Fu, urged him on.
"I know you have a good student, stop bragging! Didn't we agree to treat everyone to celebrate today? Now get going!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my treat today!"
...
As everyone left amidst laughter and chatter, Director Ma stood there with an extremely unpleasant expression.
The Ma family.
Since Chu Qi stopped going to work at the research institute, she has been staying at home watching TV, cleaning, and scolding her children, living a relaxed and comfortable life.
It's just tough on the elderly, children, cats, and dogs at home; they're more afraid of Chu Qi than they'd see a ghost.
Chu Qi was listening to music on the second floor, while Ma Nana was doing her homework in the living room on the first floor, on the verge of tears, having just been scolded not long ago.
The nanny brought Mrs. Zhang in, who looked anxious.
Ma Nana jumped up as if seeing a savior: "Aunt Zhang, you're finally here! My mom, she..."
Mrs. Zhang stopped Ma Nana from talking incessantly: "Nana, Auntie will play with you again in a little while. We have something urgent to discuss with your mother!"
“My mom’s upstairs.” Ma Nana’s expression was grim. “My mom’s been a bit…”
Without saying a word, Madam Zhang abandoned her and went straight upstairs.
Ma Nana looked unhappy: "Adults are always like this, only caring about their own happiness. Humph, Aunt Zhang will never be my favorite person again!"
Mrs. Zhang went upstairs and saw Chu Qi lying leisurely on the sofa listening to music. She rushed over.
"Qiqi, something terrible has happened! Someone's after us! The Little Red House has been taken back!"
Chu Qi turned off the music: "Who did this?!"
Mrs. Zhang sat down to the side and wiped away her tears: "Qiqi, it was Old Ma who did it!"
Chu Qi was discouraged. Old Ma, because of their argument in the office last time, Director Ma had been staying at the research institute for several days in a row, and her stubbornness was starting to waver.
Seeing this, Madam Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "Qiqi, this is not Old Ma's fault. It's all those people's fault. They forced Old Ma to do it. Grandpa has only been gone from the capital for a short time, and they already dare to go so far. Will they become even more demanding in the future? Will we still have a good life?"
