"Qingyan, you used to be gentle and refined, knowledgeable and reasonable. How did you become like this now?"

Chen Shiming's tone towards me was full of disappointment.

Hatred in my heart was hard to contain. How did I become like this? Isn't it all because of you?

You betrayed me first, yet you have the nerve to demand my unwavering dedication as before?

But even with all this hatred, I must endure. I have to stick to the plan. I will make this family of wolves and dogs pay for their actions.

"All my changes are because of you. Why don't you understand?"

I looked at Chen Shiming with great seriousness, implying deeply.

Chen Shiming's gaze flickered, examining me closely, "What do you mean?"

Seeing his nervous demeanor, I curved my lips and said self-mockingly, "It's because I love you so much, love you to the point of giving up everything. Now I only have you. Just the thought of losing you makes me lose control. If it weren't for my mom's harsh words today, I wouldn't have lost my composure. I will try to control myself in the future."

Chen Shiming looked at me angrily, "Just because my mom said a few words, you laid hands on two elderly people? Qingyan, is there something wrong with your head? Or do you have violent tendencies? Have I been too good to you, making you arrogant? Let me tell you, you won't get away with causing trouble in this house!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you. If you continue to act recklessly, get out of this house!"

After Chen Shiming issued a stern warning to me, he went to persuade his parents.

Just scaring me won't make life peaceful. Of course, he also needed to calm his parents down, so they wouldn't inadvertently reveal Xiaonannan's existence.

Chen Shiming probably explained the situation clearly, so the two elderly people behaved themselves for the time being.

Not only did they stop causing trouble for me, but they also sneaked out to eat at meal times, completely avoiding me like the plague.

I was happy to have some peace for a few days. Seizing the opportunity, I quietly investigated Chen Shiming's assets.

Not checking was a mistake. When I did, I was shocked. At first glance, he didn't have much money, but the total of what he transferred out was quite substantial.

Looking at the assets transferred out in various forms, I felt completely chilled.

From the beginning, he had been transferring assets out.

So, from the start, he was guarding against me.

I couldn't help but be curious. Was he so guarded against me because he never truly loved me from the beginning, or was he inherently selfish and self-serving, or did he never intend to be with me for a lifetime?

Therefore, he cautiously concealed his assets from me, always ready to split up with me at any moment, never letting me gain any advantage.

Even so, he still wanted to deceive me into giving up my career, devoting myself wholeheartedly to the family, becoming a detached housewife.

Is there such shameless person in this world?

But it's okay. I haven't sunk too deep into the mire yet. I still have a chance to cut my losses in time.

Chen Shiming will surely get the retribution he deserves.
