"Jiang Huainian actually pretended to have amnesia!" Tang Yanfu's voice trembled, her hand holding the phone turned pale, and her face turned ashen.

Jiang Tianyu sat aside, his eyes full of hatred, "He killed my father, Wenlong was sentenced to three years. If my father hadn't been soft-hearted and believed his lies, he would have killed An Ran and put an end to it long ago!"

She turned to look at Tang Yanfu, "We are the eldest son's family, why do we only have 1% of the shares! I want revenge!"

Tang Yanfu laughed sadly a few times and looked up at the empty house. "Tianyu, don't be silly. We can't beat Jiang Huainian. What's more, the old man is awake. How can we take revenge..."

She seemed to be asking herself, and also seemed to be asking the real world.

Jiang Tianyu yelled like crazy: "Are you going to let him go just like that? I won't accept it!"

Tang Yanfu curled her lips helplessly, "I'm old and tired. Just live a peaceful life with the 1% of shares your father left behind."

Jiang Tianyu shook her head. "Why did Jiang Huainian take away everything from the Jiang family and leave his wife and children behind? My father is dead and my husband is in jail."

Tang Yanfu gently held her hand and said, "Child, stop struggling. Mom can't stand any more."

In just over a year, she seemed to have aged ten years and was no longer the graceful, smart and capable Tang Yanfu.

Her face was full of vicissitudes and fatigue, and her former sharpness and pride had long been worn away by reality.

Jiang Tianyu looked at her mother's old face and was angry at her for not fighting back. She was unwilling to see the Jiang family's huge assets fall into the hands of Jiang Huainian alone!

Xia Rui nestled in Li Hao's arms, with a little moon hanging at the corner of her mouth that couldn't be closed.

Li Hao looked at her overjoyed look and couldn't help but feel curious. He gently rubbed her little hand and asked, "Rui Er, is there something good? You look so happy."

Xia Rui blinked, the smile in her eyes almost overflowing, "I'm a cousin now, haha!"

Li Hao was a little surprised. He remembered that Xia Rui had mentioned her cousin before, mostly complaining about his poor taste and finding an unpopular girlfriend. "Don't you dislike his girlfriend?"

Xia Rui chuckled and shook her head, "The ex-girlfriend's child, no, based on my cousin's personality, he must be eager to marry her home."

Li Hao frowned, somewhat puzzled, "Marrying for the sake of the child? Can you really be happy this way? Isn't this too cruel to your current partner?"

I immediately had a very bad impression of Xia Rui's cousin.

Xia Rui heard the dissatisfaction in Li Hao's tone, hissed, and quickly explained: "Oh, things are complicated. My cousin loves her very much, but something happened in the middle and they had to break up. Well, I will talk to you later."

Li Hao nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"When are we going to France?" Xia Rui asked softly.

Last year, Li Hao's sister gave birth to a child. He specially applied for a passport from his unit and completed the annual leave and travel procedures. However, on the night before departure, he was unable to go because he had appendicitis. He has been feeling guilty ever since.

Li Hao said: "After the deputy director's competition speech, we can arrange to go to France next month."

Xia Rui's eyes lit up after hearing this. She knew how hard Li Hao had worked and how much he had devoted to her, and she believed that he would succeed.

So she encouraged him, "I believe you can do it. Captain Li Hao will definitely become the deputy director!"

Li Hao smiled and shook his head, with a hint of humility in his eyes: "All the colleagues competing for the position are excellent, but I will try my best."

Xia Rui bit her lower lip, her eyes full of spring, she hooked her arms around Li Hao's neck, and gently licked and kissed his lips. Li Hao couldn't help but entangle with her.

This deep kiss lasted for a long time, until both of them felt a little breathless, and they reluctantly separated.

Xia Rui's cheeks were slightly red. She looked at Li Hao, unbuckled his belt with trembling fingers, and said shyly: "I'm 30 years old, which is a suitable age for having a baby..."

At that moment, Li Hao's mind buzzed and he almost lost his mind.

Xia Rui's face was almost burned, her hands were shaking constantly, and she couldn't unbuckle his belt, so she moved her hands down.

Li Hao buried his head in her neck and breathed loudly.

Suddenly, he grasped her unruly hand, cleared his throat twice, and said in a low voice: "It's late, I'll take you upstairs to rest."

Xia Rui's hands froze, her eyes filled with loss and shame, and after a long time she murmured "Oh".

Li Hao kissed her forehead, then helped her up, put her clothes in order, held her hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go upstairs."

Xia Rui lowered her eyes and nodded.

At the elevator entrance, Xia Rui suddenly turned around and hugged Li Hao. She didn't want to separate like this.

"Go to bed early, good night." Li Hao gently pulled her away.

Xia Rui returned to Xia Ying's home silently, but her heart was still restless.

She sat on the sofa, looking dejectedly at the ground, as if the whole world had lost its color.

Xia Ying sat aside, looking at Xia Rui's expression, and couldn't help laughing, "What? Failed to stay overnight again?"

Xia Rui sighed and nodded helplessly.

Xia Ying patted her shoulder gently and teased, "Captain Li, isn't it possible?"

Xia Rui couldn't help but glare at her, "No."

"You have been together for almost two years, and he has never touched you. This is the only guess I can make!" Xia Ying shrugged and analyzed.

Xia Rui looked down at her slightly raised chest and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

She could indeed feel that Li Hao was reacting, but why did he always stop?

"Is it because my figure is unattractive?"

Xia Ying couldn't help but speculate: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe he has religious beliefs and can't have sex before marriage?"

Xia Rui couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Xia Ying laughed, patted Xia Rui on the shoulder, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, don't let your imagination run wild. Everyone has their own pace and way. I think Captain Li is a responsible man. He can't make a promise to you right now, so just... bear with it."

Xia Rui sighed.

Xia Ying shook her head. "You want to make it a done deal before you tell Li Hao your true identity."

Xia Rui glanced at her guiltily and said with a wry smile, "It would be even better if someone died."

Xia Ying's expression suddenly changed, and she warned him seriously: "Don't do anything rash! If someone dies and Captain Li refuses to take responsibility, you won't even have a place to cry!"

Seeing how serious she was, Xia Rui stopped joking, nodded seriously, and said, "I was just joking. I know my limits, don't worry."

Xia Ying sighed and said, "I think it's most important that you confess your identity to him. You've been putting it off for almost two years."

Xia Rui knew that she was right and she couldn't keep running away like this.

So she took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I will find a suitable opportunity to confess my identity to Li Hao."
