In Kyoto, the Wei family, one of the four major families, is in the eye of the storm.
Wei Dingyun's mistake of He Qiangwei as Wu Zhenyuan's daughter caused a great uproar. Although this matter was almost negligible compared to Wei Zhibin's scandal, and it did not cause much of a stir on the Internet, Wei Dingyun lost face in the circle of the four major families.
Especially Song Aotian, who actually mocked him to his face for being blind to talent. How could Wei Dingyun swallow this insult?
Wei Zhibin was not blamed by his father for this matter, after all, He Qiangwei was personally chosen by his father, while he himself originally preferred Wu Youyou.
This gave Wei Zhibin a glimmer of hope. Since He Qiangwei wasn't the daughter of the Wu family, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted in front of her? A sly smile appeared on Wei Zhibin's face.
The next morning, He Qiangwei arrived at Honglou Enterprise early and met with Shen Xiao in the office.
From the moment she stepped into the company, the atmosphere became unusually tense, with employees' footsteps hurried and heavy. This atmosphere made He Qiangwei feel vaguely uneasy.
She urgently grabbed an employee to ask what was going on. The employee stopped and told her with a worried look, "Ms. He, something terrible has happened. The funds for our cooperative project are stuck in the office, and the project has been taken back."
He Qiangwei felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind a complete mess. She almost lost her balance and hurriedly dialed Shen Xiao's number, only to find that his phone was switched off.
After some investigation, He Qiangwei learned that the company was in financial trouble and heavily indebted.
The 649 Project, which she had originally collaborated on, was also withdrawn directly by Kyoto, which means that the project no longer belongs to Honglou Enterprise.
The company she now runs is now an empty shell, burdened with heavy debts. As the legal representative, she has an undeniable responsibility to bear all the consequences.
Out of fear, He Qiangwei chose to hide.
Just as He Qiangwei was hurriedly returning to her apartment to pack her luggage, Du Lixian came to her door.
He saw his daughter looking anxious and flustered, and he was filled with doubt. "Daughter, what happened? Where are you going?"
He Qiangwei had nowhere to go at this point. Hearing Du Lixian's voice, a sudden idea flashed in her mind, and she turned to look at Du Lixian.
"Because of your appearance, the Wu family no longer accepts me. I can no longer stay here, and I have nowhere else to go. Are you satisfied now?"
Upon hearing this, Du Lixian's anger was palpable. "Wu Zhenyuan is utterly unreasonable. But don't worry, you have somewhere to go, a home. Just come with me!"
He Qiangwei smiled slightly and returned to the fishing village with Du Lixian.
She had expected to see a dilapidated and filthy place, but to her surprise, it was quite clean, though the fishy smell was somewhat unbearable.
She covered her nose, a slight look of disgust on her face. "Why is the fishy smell so strong here?"
Du Lixian, having just welcomed a daughter, doted on He Qiangwei. "The yard is full of dried fish. If you don't like the smell, I won't fish anymore. We can clean the room together and get rid of the smell."
He Qiangwei then relaxed her furrowed brows and looked around the room. "You seem like a rough person, but you keep your house very tidy."
Du Lixian laughed heartily, "Actually, I am a clean freak. Back in the day, your grandfather was incredibly wealthy, and I was a true rich kid. I can't stand dirt and mess. Look at me now, it's because of the pressures of life. But I've always maintained this habit, isn't that good!"
He Qiangwei didn't respond to him, but pointed directly to a room, "I'll stay here for now."
Duli nodded in agreement, "Okay, no problem! There are clean bedding in the closet, make your own bed!"
After everything was tidied up, she lay in bed, filled with doubt. Why had her world collapsed in an instant, everything she owned vanishing as if out of control? This was far too bizarre. What had gone wrong?
He Qiangwei picked up her phone and saw a screen full of messages, including inquiries from colleagues and calls from unknown numbers.
Among the many messages, she saw a message from Wei Zhibin, which was a nude photo of herself.
She quickly turned off her phone, feeling extremely nervous, and dared not look at it again.
The phone rang again immediately. When she saw that it was Wei Zhibin calling, she instinctively didn't want to answer.
He Qiangwei is caught in a predicament of phone harassment. Every time she picks up her phone, she receives verbal abuse from Wei Zhibin.
These shameless words made her fingers tremble, and her heart was filled with disgust.
Wei Zhibin threatened on the phone that if He Qiangwei didn't answer, he would post her nude photos on the campus website. Faced with such intimidation, He Qiangwei had no choice but to answer the phone, but what she heard was Wei Zhibin's even more ferocious voice. He accused He Qiangwei of being a bitch and demanded that she admit that she was his fiancée and could not escape this identity.
He Qiangwei's body trembled involuntarily, memories and fear intertwined, and she really didn't want to see this man again.
So she gritted her teeth and retorted, "Wei Zhibin, don't you like Wu Youyou? I'm just a substitute, someone Wu Zhenyuan specifically found to marry in place of her. This is all a conspiracy by the Wu family!"
Enraged, Wei Zhibin fiercely declared that he would not let He Qiangwei off the hook.
He Qiangwei closed her eyes tightly, unable to endure this harassment and threat any longer. She said that she was no longer the daughter of the Wu family, and the marriage was naturally invalid, demanding that Wei Zhibin stop bothering her.
However, Wei Zhibin insisted that He Qiangwei was already his fiancée and demanded that she return to Beijing within three days, or he would make her suffer unbearable pain and ruin her reputation.
Upon hearing this, He Qiangwei was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only collapse helplessly on the bed and sob loudly.
Hearing the noise, Du Lixian pushed open the door and entered. Seeing He Qiangwei crying bitterly, he was momentarily at a loss and said in a flustered manner, "Daughter... what happened? If you are willing to tell me, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Du Lixian's voice rang in her ears, but this did not calm He Qiangwei down; instead, it enraged her even more. Her eyes widened, her tone filled with anger and dissatisfaction, "Then I'll order you to get rid of that disgusting scumbag Wei Zhibin. Do you really have the ability?"
"Wei Zhibin from the Wei family of Kyoto?" Du Lixian asked in confusion.
Seeing that He Qiangwei was just staring at him with wide eyes and didn't reply, he thought for a moment and then said very seriously, "Daughter, that's your fiancé. He's powerful and influential. Wouldn't it be great to marry him!"
"Shut up! You don't understand him at all. He's a disgusting monster!"
