He had just crawled out of prison and never expected that the wife he held dear would deal him a fatal blow, putting a green hat on him while he struggled for a living.
He couldn't imagine if this fickle woman had acted the same way when he wasn't around.
Anger surged within him as he grabbed anything that could serve as a weapon and began to smash things in a frenzy.
The two naked figures on the bed were startled. Once they regained their composure, they exchanged a glance that conveyed a silent understanding. One of them took advantage of Ren Qiangsheng's distraction, sneaked behind him, and struck him on the back of the head with a teacup from the table.
A sharp pain shot through him, darkness clouded his vision, and the stool he had been holding fell to the ground as he crumpled helplessly.
Yin panicked, dropping the teacup in her hand and stepping back abruptly. "What do we do? What do we do? He can't be dead, right?"
The man, being bolder, stepped forward and placed his index and middle fingers under Ren Qiangsheng's nose, feeling for breath. "He's fine, don't worry!"
But what if he woke up? What would they do then?
Even if they didn't cause a death, being caught in bed together would leave them speechless when it came to defending themselves.
The man steeled himself and thought, so be it; there was no turning back now. He gestured at his own neck, causing Yin's heart to sink. "This can't be right!"
After all, they had been married for so many years. It felt wrong to go this far.
"You have to understand that if he wakes up, we're both dead."
People are inherently selfish. No matter the circumstances, a woman like Yin could betray Ren Qiangsheng for so long; deep down, she was never truly a good person.
Ren Qiangsheng spent a lot of money on her, and she supported this man. The two of them conspired together, draining Ren Qiangsheng's wealth.
Throughout it all, Ren Qiangsheng remained unaware. Even now, after learning the truth, it was somewhat too late.
As the saying goes, those who are pitiful must have their own faults. He used unscrupulous means to crush one opponent after another, and eventually, he encountered a hard obstacle.
The karma he created came back to haunt him.
When he woke up again, Ren Qiangsheng found that he could not move his legs or speak. His wife acted like the so-called virtuous wife and mother, taking care of his daily needs.
Now, it was too late for him to regret; no one could understand him. Instead, news spread that Yin had returned home due to a serious illness and was recuperating.
Suddenly, the woman received a wave of praise.
But what was the truth? No one could articulate the specifics; they only praised Yin for her unwavering loyalty, calling her a good woman.
Ren Qiangsheng had no one to confide in. His frail body left him with no room to resist.
Later on, when he overheard that couple in their illicit affair, he realized that their children were not his and that all his wealth had been given to this gigolo by Yin.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly dying from rage, and from then on, his health deteriorated further.
As for Liu Qingxi, she felt nothing about the situation. Liang Siji and Ren Qiangsheng, those two who colluded together, had received their just punishment, which did not affect her life.
After all, in life, there are many enemies; they were merely an interlude in her journey.
However, would things end like this? Of course not.
Yang Yichen returned to the capital and, after handling urgent matters, his first priority was to understand what had happened with Liu Qingxi during this time.
When he heard that she had been gaining fame day by day and had constructed the Masterful Craftsmanship building, a proud smile spread across Yang Yichen's face. Look at her, his girl, so bright, so dazzlingly talented, so radiant.
But when he heard that someone was causing her trouble, Yang Yichen's expression changed abruptly; the clear skies were instantly overshadowed by dark clouds.
As for those who had once troubled Liu Qingxi? Ha!
The troubles that Ren Qiangsheng faced later were not unrelated to Yang Yichen's behind-the-scenes influence.
As for Ren Qiangsheng's even more tragic life afterward, no one paid attention to it anymore; it was no longer mentioned.
Returning to Liu Qingxi, Boss Qian's Flowing Villa was officially completed half a month after Yang Yichen's return. From a distance, the house standing above the flowing water was an unparalleled sight.
The clean and bright windows, blue Glazed Tiles intricately carved with birds and beasts, and on the roof, immortals and auspicious beasts symbolizing peace and prosperity were vividly depicted, as if they could come to life at any moment.
This building, combining modern and ancient elements, was not only a groundbreaking achievement for this era but also a significant challenge for Liu Qingxi.
However, she succeeded!
Suddenly, a confident smile appeared on her face as Liu Qingxi looked at the results before her and said to the Construction Team members, "You all have worked hard!"
"It's not hard at all!" Watching such a marvelous building come together under their hands was an unprecedented experience of pride; they were no longer just ordinary people toiling away in obscurity.
Having a unique skill is truly invaluable.
These are all the contributions of Liu Qingxi, which not only provide stable jobs but also directly impact the lives of entire families.
At this moment, the slightly plump Boss Qian hurried over in a blue robe. Looking at the scene before him, he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself: "It's so beautiful! So beautiful!"
He was at a loss for words to describe it. In the distance, the green mountains rose in layers, with lush trees cascading down like a sprawling landscape, suddenly interrupted by cliffs adorned with hints of emerald.
His house stood right at the foot of the mountain, a delicate structure with pavilions and corridors, quietly standing there with a gentle stream flowing nearby, exuding an air of leisure and contentment.
Living here, breathing fresh air, admiring the towering mountains in the distance, and watching fish frolic in front—all felt perfectly harmonious.
"Boss Qian, how is it? I hope it hasn't disappointed you!" Liu Qingxi's confident smile had never faded, just as she had promised him before; she successfully completed the construction of the house.
Although it took nearly three months and many difficulties arose during that time, they solved each problem bit by bit, forging the current success.
"Hahaha!" Boss Qian laughed heartily three times: "I really have to thank you! This house will be great for hosting clients when we discuss business. It adds so much prestige. I've traveled quite a bit across the Western Moon Kingdom and have never seen anything like this. Thank you so much!"
"It’s my pleasure. As long as you’re satisfied, that’s what matters. I hope you can help promote it as well."
Boss Qian raised an eyebrow: "Do you still need me to promote it?"
