In her dream, just like in reality, Qiao Yulan makes a comeback and returns to China, intending to join forces with her parent company to acquire his group.
Li Xiu had already seen through her scheme. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he watched her swagger and gloat, and then delivered a fatal blow when she was most careless.
Qiao Yulan broke down, but she still firmly believed that she had done the right thing.
She cursed Li Xiu for being mentally ill, saying he deserved to be cheated and deserved to have a lot of money but still end up alone.
She also said that anyone who gets together with Li Xiu is incredibly unlucky.
Li Xiu couldn't think of a way to get revenge on her that would make her regret it for the rest of her life.
But Qiao Yulan provided him with some ideas.
So he used incentives to lure her, pretending to fall in love with Qiao Yulan, and after a period of feigned infidelity, he proposed marriage to her.
At that time, Qiao Yulan had long since lost her job and lived a life no different from that of an ordinary worker.
She's got such high aspirations, how could she possibly tolerate that?
But apart from Li Xiu, no one offered her a chance.
As expected, Qiao Yulan fell for the trick because of her vanity.
She thought that after getting married, she could control Li Xiu and become a truly wealthy person.
But Li Xiu had already secretly cut off all her escape routes.
He framed Qiao Yulan, causing her to break the law and have a criminal record. He then hired a lawyer and spent a huge sum of money to get her out of trouble.
At this point, Qiao Yulan had absolutely no job opportunities.
She could certainly go to the factory, but she can't handle the hardship.
Li Xiu was her only way out.
But Li Xiu went to so much trouble, how could it possibly be for her to live a good life?
The two lived in a villa, but their relationship was worse than that of strangers.
Qiao Yulan wouldn't even allow herself to sit with Li Xiu while eating.
Aside from basic food and clothing, she can't do anything else.
Unable to find work outside and penniless, she was afraid of hardship and fatigue, which destined her to be trapped in that villa for the rest of her life.
She could only grit her teeth and work like a slave, forcing a smile on her face next to the person she hated most, just to get a bite to eat.
She hoped that Li Xiu would die soon.
He's dead, so the money will be hers, and she can still live a life of luxury.
Li Xiu's condition continued to worsen, his mental state deteriorated, and he later developed a habit of self-harm. He and Qiao Yulan tormented each other for ten years before his life came to an end.
Before he died, Li Xiu smiled and told Qiao Yulan that before they got married, he had secretly notarized his assets. After he died, Qiao Yulan would not receive a penny and would be kicked out of the villa.
Qiao Yulan was preoccupied with Li Xiu's inheritance day and night, but she never expected him to deliver a fatal blow to her.
Before Li Xiu breathed his last, he witnessed Qiao Yulan's ferocious and deranged state.
He passed away with a smile on his face.
………………
"Li Xiu, Li Xiu? Did you have a nightmare?"
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's voice, Li Xiu suddenly opened his eyes!
The familiar, soft scent instantly smoothed out all his rough edges.
Li Xiu remained silent and held Jiang Tian tightly.
Jiang Tian let him hug her, and when she touched his back, she found it was covered in cold sweat.
"Was the nightmare really that scary?" Jiang Tian asked, seeing that he didn't want to change his clothes. She could only talk to him while wiping his cold sweat with a tissue.
Li Xiu took a long time to finally hum in response.
"...is a dream without you."
It was utter darkness.
"I'm here with you, so don't worry."
Jiang Tian kissed the corner of his lips.
After a while, Li Xiu gently placed her on the bed, then leaned down and kissed her from her lips down...
He needed to confirm this person's existence through the most intimate gesture...
