After confessing her sins, Shen Xiu remained dazed, her expression ashen.
Yet the cris she committed elicit no sympathy. According to information gathered by the police, Ye Qiu married her during her most destitute and helpless ti, accepting her child without hesitation, yet she conspired with her ex-husband to harm her current husband. If this isn’t a heart of a snake and scorpion, what is?
Xiao Ze and Shen Xiu are both in custody, and since Shen Huan has no one to care for him, his grandparents were notified.
Upon hearing their son would be imprisoned again, Xiao Ze’s parents imdiately started wailing, not even caring about their grandson, while Shen Xiu’s parents, Shen Yonggang and Tian Guiping, were both shocked and angry.
"Smack!" No one expected Tian Guiping to slap her daughter as soon as she saw her.
"Mom!" Shen Xiu looked at her in shock, seemingly unable to believe she had been hit.
"I don’t have a daughter like you." Tian Guiping shouted, her eyes red, "Why? Why didn’t you live well with Ye Qiu? Wasn’t he good enough to you? Xiao Ze just got out of prison and you got involved with him, aren’t you shaless!"
"What do you know? Ye Qiu wasn’t good to at all." Shen Xiu said frantically, why does everyone say she’s in the wrong? Why does everyone say she doesn’t deserve Ye Qiu? Clearly, he was too stingy, clearly, he didn’t understand romance, nearly three years into marriage and he hadn’t touched her once, how could she love him?
"How wasn’t he good to you? Xiao Huan didn’t have school registration, he imdiately arranged for a key elentary school, you were unemployed and he arranged a decent job for you through connections, yet you refused. He even provided monthly living expenses for you two, and he never neglected the courtesy towards , your father, and relatives. Just because he doesn’t coax you like that scoundrel Xiao Ze, you think he’s bad?"
Tian Guiping truly hadn’t expected her daughter would return to being involved with Xiao Ze; having barely escaped that pit of mud when young and foolish, only to dive back in again. How did she raise such a foolish daughter? Living soone isn’t about flattering words; it’s about being down-to-earth and sincere. Why doesn’t her daughter understand?
"What do you know!" Shen Xiu cried out, "The ager living expenses he provided, what are they good for? You claim he’s sincere to , why is he so stingy then?"
"Shen Xiu." At this point, a female police officer couldn’t help but cough, "Yesterday when we searched your ho, we found a property transfer agreent, clearly indicating Ye Qiu was prepared to donate half of the proceeds from this patent to charity, and half to you and Shen Huan."
"What did you say?" Shen Xiu jerked her head up to look at her.
"You heard correctly. This police officer is saying Ye Qiu planned to give half his assets to you and Xiao Huan. Your claim of his stinginess never existed." Tian Guiping shouted, full of disappointnt.
"How is that possible? How is that possible?" Shen Xiu, with a lost expression, repetitively questioned herself.
"Miss Shen Xiu, I have no reason to deceive you."
Upon hearing the police officer’s confirmatory response, she suddenly started crying and laughing, lanting the whims of fate. Why wouldn’t it let her know this sooner?
Shen Yonggang and Tian Guiping later visited Ye Qiu at the hospital, and upon seeing him, the old couple almost knelt before him, but Ye Qiu stopped them.
Two simple-hearted elders, with tear-filled eyes, apologized, "Sorry for what our daughter has done to you. It’s our fault for not teaching her properly."
Ye Qiu, silent for a while, with guilt in his eyes, said, "I will file for divorce from Xiao Xiu."
Tian Guiping, with tears in her eyes, said, "It’s only right. Our daughter did this to you. You’ll find soone better."
"I won’t force it." Ye Qiu’s expression was calm, asking further, "What about Xiao Huan, where will he go?"
At this point, the old couple’s expressions turned grim: "Shen Huan has been influenced poorly by his mother; his grandparents are no longer in charge, so we can only take him back ho for proper education. We don’t expect him to achieve great success, only that he understands decency and law, unlike his parents."
Ye Qiu nodded, "If there’s ever anything you need, feel free to co to ."
Shen Yonggang and Tian Guiping nodded, eyes red, and sighed inwardly. No matter the difficulty ahead, how could they possibly ask for help?
The old couple took Shen Huan back to their hotown, not even attending Shen Xiu’s final sentencing, as if they never had this daughter.
A couple of days later, colleagues and neighbors learned that Ye Qiu had been through such an ordeal, having his wife collude with her ex-husband to kidnap their child for ransom, a heart-wrenching situation indeed.
Everyone expressed their sympathy, advising him not to dwell on it. After all, just a daughter; plenty of good won exist in the world. However, knowing how much Ye Qiu once loved her, each person was furious, cursing Shen Xiu.
Later, they heard Ye Qiu divorced Shen Xiu. The court suspected Shen Xiu had ulterior motives early on, so she left without claiming property, and with Ye Qiu receiving all assets, everyone felt sowhat comforted. But soon, word spread that in his despair, he donated all his property, evoking sympathy yet regret.
Since suffering such a blow, Ye Qiu no longer focused on marriage. Despite others’ attempts to set him up, he always shook his head in refusal, dedicating himself to research.
Shen Xiu, upon learning he had donated all his assets, found her dim gaze growing dimr. Later, hearing Ye Qiu’s research achieved major breakthroughs, she beca hysterical, laughing, crying until tears flowed.
Ten years post-release, no one ca to fetch Shen Xiu; penniless, she wandered the streets, suddenly pausing before a roadside billboard airing an interview.
"Professor Ye, firstly congratulations on winning this year’s Nobel Prize. How do you wish to respond to the external world calling you the greatest scientist?" The host asked, face full of admiration.
The man on screen smiled gracefully: "Not much to say; it’s rely applying learned knowledge."
"Professor Ye, your humility remains renowned. As for being nad the greatest philanthropist by netizens, any comnts?"
The man laughed lightly, as though he wasn’t the one donating billions: "rely contributing a bit to the country, aiding scientific progress slightly."
"Ah! Professor Ye is so handso, I’d love to marry him!" An exuberant young girl exclaid, eyes gleaming.
The girl next to her chuckled: "Dream on. He’s the world-renowned enigmatic man. Being his wife isn’t as realistic as studying to be his student."
"You’re right, with Professor Ye waiting at Harbin University, what excuse do I have not to study hard?"
Watching the two girl backs, Shen Xiu murmured, "Enigmatic man, huh?"
