Chapter 22 The Love-Deprived CEO (Part 1/2)

Late at night, Bai Qianqian huddled in the moldy haystack in the woodshed. Moonlight shone through the cracks in the hay. She stared at her swollen fingers and suddenly laughed hysterically.

Why do I have to do it all over again?

"Why weren't you locked up this time?"

"I did nothing wrong, why are you treating me like this?"

She murmured to the void.

To this day, she still doesn't believe she did anything wrong.

She tried to escape Fu Senran, but he had no reason to give up his high-paying job. She had done nothing wrong, and Fu Senran, blinded by lust, fired her.

What happened next showed that she was even less wrong!

Shen Zixi deliberately seduced Fu Senran to become a gold digger; what she said in her posts was completely true!

What wrong did she do by expelling such an excellent student from a school that had been bought off by capital?!

It's all those despicable people's fault!!

Just as Bai Qianqian was cursing those people viciously in her heart, the door to the woodshed suddenly creaked open, and she looked up abruptly.

Standing in the moonlight was Old Man Chen, with a lewd smile.

Just minutes after Bai Qianqian's scream rang out, her mother-in-law, wielding a rolling pin, burst in: "I'll beat you to death, you slut!!! How dare you seduce someone so old!!!"

Amidst the excruciating pain of the stick striking her back, Bai Qianqian stared intently at the moonlight on the ground. She saw Fu Senran, from her hallucination, walking towards her in the silvery glow, his leather shoes spotless, looking at her with cold, ruthless eyes: "Have you had enough fun this time?"

"Mom, don't hit my sister-in-law!!"

"Yes, let's talk things out calmly, don't hit her!!"

In reality, however, only two ordinary-looking men entered and stopped the enraged mother-in-law.

They were Chen's second and third sons. They helped her up, held her in their arms, and gently comforted her.

This action further enraged her mother-in-law, who rushed at her like a madwoman, stabbing an iron nail into her throat and slamming her hair against the ground.

The moment blood splattered, Bai Qianqian realized that in this lifetime, no one would build her a golden cage again.

Zi Xi was astonished to learn of the female lead's death more than a decade later, having only seen the news on a legal affairs video.

She always felt that no matter what happened to the female lead, even if she married poorly, she should be able to escape safely in the end.

Is it because the female protagonist has been abandoned by Heaven?

But none of this had anything to do with Zi Xi.

Autumn was when they fell in love; winter was when they cuddled by the fireplace watching the snow fall; spring was when they chased their little darling through a sea of ​​roses; and summer was when their whole family went to that private island and took their little darling to the church where they had their wedding.

Zi Xi accompanied Fu Senran through season after season.

Time flies, and decades are enough for a baby to grow into an adult.

Zi Xi worked in the Fu family's secretariat until retirement, but she didn't stay idle after retirement; she studied Harvard Open Courses on her computer.

Fu Senran, who hadn't yet retired, sat opposite her, dealing with some documents that Fu Aixi couldn't handle. Suddenly, he pushed a sticky note towards her: [Wife, why are you working so hard? Take a break.]

Zi Xi paused with a smile, propped her head up, and looked at him.

"There's a saying, 'One is never too old to learn.' I'm interested in these courses, and now that I'm retired, I might as well take some lessons."
