Lin Zhaojiang carefully helped Song Wan into the house, and as soon as they entered, he changed her slippers without even letting her bend over.
Song Wan laughed, "I just have a stomachache, I'm not that weak, am I? Besides, the doctor said it's not a serious problem."
Lin Zhaojiang replied sullenly, "It's better to be careful."
Song Wan smiled and lowered her head, her heart filled with happiness.
"I want to sleep for a while," she said softly.
Lin Zhaojiang nodded, bent down and carried her into the room in a princess carry, gently placing her on the bed and covering her with a blanket.
Why are you taking care of me like a child?
"To me, you're just a little kid." He patted her head and chuckled. "When you first met me, didn't you call me 'Uncle'?"
Song Wan was a little embarrassed, "You still remember? But now I think you're not old at all!"
Lin Zhaojiang paused slightly, then smiled gently.
She used to say the same thing.
However, saying that before might have had a flattering connotation. After all, back then, she was just a... plaything to him.
Lin Zhaojiang felt a pang of pain in his heart, a mixture of guilt, regret, and self-blame, as he quietly looked at her.
Until she fell asleep.
He touched her face, recalling the year they first met. Back then, she was still in college, clear-headed and pure, like a blank sheet of paper.

In the hot pot restaurant, after a few rounds of drinks, Wu Qiang started talking recklessly again.
"Her family is very poor! Ha, the old man passed away a long time ago, and the three siblings relied on their mother to raise them. And her mother not only favored boys over girls, but was also greedy for money! Back when I was running a small business, I was practically a king in her family! No matter how much I beat my wife, her mother wouldn't allow my ex-wife to divorce me, just because I had a little money!"
"Ha, back in that house, everyone had to watch their step! Unlike now..."
Wu Qiang took a sip of wine, and resentment welled up in his heart again.
"Later, by chance, Song Wan caught the eye of Lin Zhaojiang. At that time, her brother was also sick, and her mother couldn't wait to send her to Lin Zhaojiang's bed... and that's how the two of them got together!"
"This...is a bit strange, isn't it?" Bai Ruogu frowned. "What kind of women hasn't Lin Zhaojiang seen? How could he so easily take a liking to Song Wan?"
Wu Qiang grinned, "Young Master Bai, didn't you also take a liking to this girl back then? You even wanted her to be your fiancée!"
Bai Ruogu's expression changed. He didn't love Song Wan, but he could still accept her as his fiancée, partly because she was indeed very beautiful and presentable.
"So, Lin Zhaojiang was only after her youth, beauty, and cleanliness, and she was easy to manipulate, much better than the women around him! Do you know, before meeting Lin Zhaojiang, this girl had never even touched a man's hand! Hehe... To be honest, I did have those kinds of thoughts about her back then, but my wife absolutely forbade it, and she was always on guard against me like a thief! Before I could even find an opportunity, Lin Zhaojiang beat me to it!"
Bai Ruogu glanced at him disdainfully and coldly uttered a few words: "Continue."
"Oh..." Wu Qiang shrugged. "Well... she was with Lin Zhaojiang for about three years. Anyway, Lin Zhaojiang spoiled her a lot. He even paid for her brother's medical expenses. He not only made sure she ate well, dressed well, and lived well, but he also moved my mother-in-law's house... Heh, it was around that time that the old hag stopped respecting me and started fawning over Lin Zhaojiang every day!"
Bai Ruogu secretly noted these things down.
Being kept as a sugar daddy, having a mistress, and a female college student.
Every single word was a fatal blow to Song Wan. Those onlookers didn't care whether she and Lin Zhaojiang were truly in love; they would only bind her to the cross of morality and whip her.
"And then what happened?" he asked. "What about that child?"
"Later, Song Wan accidentally got pregnant." Wu Qiang's voice gradually lowered. "Lin Zhaojiang is a domineering and forceful man. He didn't allow Song Wan to get pregnant, but Song Wan got pregnant anyway. Do you think this girl will have a good outcome? Besides, Song Wan had been with him for almost three years at that time. I guess... Lin Zhaojiang was tired of her and didn't pamper her as much as before."
“I remember one time, this girl rushed home in the middle of the night, and as soon as she got in, she went to find her sister. The two of them locked themselves in the room and talked all night. As a result, when I went out at dawn, I was blocked at the door by Lin Zhaojiang’s men, and that’s how Song Wan was taken back…”
"I don't know what happened after that. I heard that the girl wanted to keep the child and tried to escape again and again, but Lin Zhaojiang caught her every time... The last time, she ran quite far away and lived under an assumed name, but Lin Zhaojiang's men still found her..."
Bai Ruogu asked in a deep voice, "And then, the child was gone?"
Wu Qiang looked troubled. "I really don't know what happened in between! Anyway... Song Wan's mental state has deteriorated, and Lin Zhaojiang, for some reason, seems to have suddenly had a change of heart and is now taking care of her every day."
Bai Ruogu's face was gloomy, and he gave a cold laugh.
He still remembered when Lin Yuqing introduced Song Wan to him, saying that she was a beautiful and intelligent girl.
Ha, I never expected her to be a worn-out shoe!
Not only was she pregnant, but she also went insane at one point and has now completely lost her memories of the past!
Lin Yuqing actually raved about this woman to the skies! She even wanted him to be her dumping ground, to take over what her brother had already played with?
Bai Ruogu gritted his teeth, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the wine glass.
"If we use this to upset Song Wan and remind her of all those messy things from the past, she'll probably be very upset, right?"
"What?" Wu Qiang was taken aback.
He looked up and saw Bai Ruogu's sinister smile, and he couldn't help but shiver.
He never considered himself a good person, but his despicable and filthy nature was on full display.
And Bai Ruogu...
Wu Qiang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
"Song Wan is sad, and Lin Zhaojiang won't be any better off!" Bai Ruogu said, emphasizing each word. "What they owe me, I will collect it all back, one by one!"
"Um, Mr. Bai... Young Master Bai," Wu Qiang looked at him with a forced smile, "If you want revenge, I won't stop you, but you absolutely mustn't say that I said these things! Otherwise, Lin Zhaojiang might really kill me!"
Bai Ruogu glanced at him and curled her lips in a mocking smile.
It doesn't matter anymore, Wu Qiang is no longer of any use to me anyway.
But how can I let Song Wan know about these things?
It's best not to tell her everything at once.
He wanted Song Wan to experience the process of regaining her memories as painful as being slowly sliced to death, so that she would remember these things bit by bit.
Then, her hatred for Lin Zhaojiang will gradually increase.
He'll watch the show with a smile once they're both in unbearable pain!
