Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tang Qiu’s words had been casual, but in reality, the Feng family was actually going bankrupt! They weren’t murderers, but over the years, Feng Guo’an had secretly raped many women. Now that they had the chance to take revenge, they could not wait to get back at him!
As for Feng Guo’an’s wife, Chen Man, when she found out that the Feng family was finished, she ran away with the money! She didn’t care about her two daughters at all and only wanted to preserve her own life. After all, Feng Guo’an had harmed many young girls, and many of them were pregnant. Not every one of them had given birth safely like Tang Qiu’s mother. And Chen Man wasn’t willing to let anyone snatch her assets away. Naturally, she arranged for the other girls to have miscarriages once she found out they were pregnant! This had caused a few girls in their prime to bleed profusely and become infertile.
Now that the Feng family was in trouble, Chen Man was afraid of being dragged down with Feng Guo’an. However, she hadn’t managed to flee far. When she drove onto the highway, a truck in front suddenly lost control. The steel pipe on it had swung out and pierced through Chen Man’s body.
By the time help arrived, she had already bled to death.
When Tang Qiu found out about this, it was already ten days after the accident! She did not have much of a reaction. She thought that she would feel relief, but she was indifferent. The Feng family deserved their retribution. However, that night, Tang Qiu still thought about what had happened in M Country…
!!
Of course, she had also learned more accurate information about the Jiang family from Jiang Shaocheng. She knew that the Jiang family had gotten their just desserts, so Tang Qiu didn’t feel too much sympathy for them, only her husband.
Because now they were one and the same: They both had no family left.
If they’d ever had one to begin with.
Fortunately, they still had each other.
“Qiu, aren’t you curious about why the Jiang family and the Feng family suddenly fell apart?” Jiang Shaocheng hugged Tang Qiu in his arms. He wanted to confess the truth to Tang Qiu, but he didn’t know where to start. He suddenly felt a little afraid. What if Tang Qiu got angry? He had been lying to her for so long… But even if Tang Qiu really resented him, he wouldn’t let her leave. She was his.
Tang Qiu looked at Jiang Shaocheng intently and blinked. “Will my curiosity entitle me to an answer? One that you know best, since their misfortune is related to you?” She was no fool; she could decipher Jiang Shaocheng’s underlying question, but there was nothing he had done that she could not accept. She wasn’t afraid of any answer he could give.
Jiang Shaocheng hadn’t anticipated this question from her. He had underestimated his wife’s intelligence. She appeared soft and fragile, but she was strong and smart. He chose not to conceal the truth from her, but hardly knew where to begin. He decided to reveal pieces of the puzzle to her one by one.
It would be easier for Tang Qiu to form her own understanding of what had happened. However, Jiang Shaocheng realized that Tang Qiu might be waiting for him to be honest with her, despite already having her suspicions.
“If I lied to you about something, would you be angry with me? I had no choice…” Jiang Shaocheng wanted to ask her to promise not to be angry, but he changed his mind. He was afraid to see Tang Qiu sad, even if it was just a little.
Tang Qiu lifted her chin, turning her nose up at him. She wanted to peer down at him, but she was too damn short. “That depends on what you lied to me about.”
Jiang Shaocheng looked at her warily and began, “Well… what happened to the Fengs was caused by me…”
Tang Qiu was expressionless. “And?”
“And so was the Jiang family’s misfortune…”
“So?”
“So you must have known I was behind it all along, right?”
Tang Qiu smiled. Instead of replying, she gave a snort. “This hardly counts as honesty, dear.”
Jiang Shaocheng grinned and rolled over Tang Qiu. “You’re right. There is one last thing… but actions speak louder than words, you little vixen.” He threw the covers over them.
That night, Tang Qiu and Jiang Shaocheng finally uncovered the treasures of wedded life!
When they were finished, Jiang Shaocheng looked satisfied. Tang Qiu… was still sleeping.
Jiang Shaocheng looked at the red marks on his wife’s exposed skin and his eyes glazed over darkly. He hugged her and whispered, “Let’s get married again.”
Tang Qiu breathed heavily in and out in response.
Meanwhile, Jiang Shaocheng had already started preparing. He even had a special date picked out. However, he did not expect that the day before their wedding, his bride would be kidnapped!
