Qi Xiwei’s hand froze on her abdomen. Looking lifeless, she sat on the hospital bed. Her eyes were lifeless as well. She was staring at an unknown spot.

“Do you still remember my stepmother?”

“Your stepmother? Isn’t she in prison?”

“Yes, she’s in prison.” Qi Xiwei chuckled. Her voice was full of sarcasm. “She’s in prison, and she died in prison.”

“…”Huo Jinyao’s eyes widened. If he remembered correctly, Qi Xiwei’s stepmother was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

“I don’t know whose retribution this is. Is it mine or Lian Jin’s? Oh right, his full name isn’t Lian Jin, but Shen Jin. Lian is his mother’s surname. He’s the younger brother of my stepmother, Shen Mingzhu.”

“What?” Even Huo Jinyao was shocked. “You’re saying that Lian Jin is your stepmother’s younger brother? Are you sure?”

“He said it himself.”

Qi Xiwei’s expression didn’t change. She didn’t want to recall her stupidity. But in reality, she had indeed been very stupid.

She had been overseas for many years and had always rejected the advances of those men. First of all, she hadn’t met anyone who moved her heart, and second of all, she had always thought that if there was the chance, she would still want to find a Chinese person.

The year just before last year, Shen Jin appeared in front of her under the alias of Lian Jin. At the beginning, Lian Jin was the marketing director of a company in cooperation with her company.

They were both Chinese, and they were also both working hard in a foreign country. When they were working together, Qi Xiwei was more patient with Lian Jin than with other people.

Very quickly, she started to admire Lian Jin’s work abilities. Outside of work, Lian Jin began to approach her in private.

She was a person who only opened her heart slowly. Back then, Huo Jinyao was so outstanding that she didn’t even fall in love with him.

That was why Qi Xiwei even thought that she would never fall in love with another man in her life. After all, there were very few men in this world who were more outstanding than Huo Jinyao and had a better personality than Huo Jinyao.

She was wary of others, so Lian Jin patiently tried to get close to her again and again.

She didn’t believe in men, so Lian Jin kept humbling himself and continuously tried to move her through his own efforts.

He tried again and again. Qi Xiwei’s heart wasn’t made of iron. Furthermore, she had experienced her father’s infidelity, her mother’s death, and she was working alone in a foreign land.

Deep down, she also longed for warmth and love. Lian Jin spent nearly a year pursuing her. She was finally moved.

On Lian Jin’s birthday, she agreed to move in with him.

During the first half of the year, she lived very blissfully and happily. She thought that she was the happiest woman in the world.

However, the more happy she felt before, the more painful it was afterwards.

Half a year later, Lian Jin started to leave early and return late. At first, she could convince herself that he was busy with work.

However, as she continued to find the scent of women’s perfume, women’s hair, and even other women’s lipstick marks on his body, she could no longer deceive herself.

She argued with Lian Jin and quarreled with him. Lian Jin said that he made a mistake and asked her to forgive him.

She forgave him the first time after his begging, but reality proved to her that if there was a first time, there would be a second time. If there was a second time, there would be a third time.

After that, Lian Jin relapsed and Qi Xiwei couldn’t bear it anymore. One day, after Lian Jin returned late, she told him that she wanted to break up with him.

That pervert Lian Jin imprisoned her at that time. He threw away all her clothes, and left her naked at home.

But he still went out every day, and then came back to deliberately let her see the marks of other women on his body.

In the end, he even openly brought other women back. He let her see him making out with other women.

Qi Xiwei was almost driven mad by Lian Jin. That day, she took a knife to stab Lian Jin, but she was a woman, and she couldn’t overpower Lian Jin, so the knife was taken away by him.

When Qi Xiwei wanted to break up and sue him, Lian Jin told her.

If she wanted to break up, she could forget about it. What he wanted to do was to torture her. He wanted to torture her forever, to make her suffer.

Qi Xiwei didn’t understand and asked Lian Jin why.

“Shen Mingzhu, do you still remember?”

“Who are you? Who are you?”

“I’m Shen Jin, Shen Mingzhu’s younger brother.”

Lian Jin and Shen Mingzhu had a good relationship. In the early years when their family was in a bad financial condition, Shen Mingzhu even took a few jobs in school to ease the burden on the family.

Later on, when she went to work, most of her salary was given to the family.

Lian Jin had deep affection for her. Later on, Shen Mingzhu married someone. Although that man was more than ten years older than Shen Mingzhu, it looked like that man treated Shen Mingzhu very well, so the Shen family had no objections.

But the Shen family didn’t expect that Shen Mingzhu was sent to prison after being married for less than ten years.

The Shen family couldn’t accept this fact. They appealed, but it was useless. The evidence was conclusive. Shen Mingzhu was sentenced to fifteen years.

Fifteen years. When she got out, she would already be old.
