"Get lost, you useless piece of trash."
"It's one thing that you've been freeloading at home for the past three years."
"And today you actually have the nerve to ask me for money? Absolutely not!"
"If you don't get lost, I'll have someone break your legs! Spit!"
Qin Xuan walked along the north bank of the Jiangbei River, sighing and recalling the scolding he had just received from his mother-in-law.
Because he was a live-in son-in-law, he had suffered countless humiliations for three years, his status at home even worse than that of a dog.
A dog could eat dog food costing hundreds of yuan per bag, while Qin Xuan only got leftovers after his mother-in-law's family had eaten, sometimes only managing to get a sip of the leftover soup.
He worked five jobs a day, toiling tirelessly, earning only ten thousand yuan a month, all of which had to be handed over to his mother-in-law. What was left for him was a mere few hundred yuan for living expenses. Because he also had to support his grandfather and sister, Qin Xuan's daily living expenses were less than ten yuan.
Sometimes, three steamed buns would suffice for the entire day.
Even this, Qin Xuan gritted his teeth and endured, as he wouldn't starve.
However, this time Qin Xuan hadn't expected his mother-in-law to be so heartless.
His grandfather and sister had been in a car accident, and they only needed thirty thousand yuan for surgery.
Qin Xuan had toiled like a beast of burden for his mother-in-law's family for three years. He had thought that his mother-in-law, considering this, would lend him thirty thousand yuan. Instead, he was unceremoniously thrown out, spat upon.
Qin Xuan was now penniless. All his money had been used for his grandfather and sister's medical expenses, and he was at his wit's end.
"Is this really my fate, Qin Xuan? Three years ago, my family was annihilated, and it was only by chance that I managed to escape with my sister. Now, are they going to take away my only sister as well? Damn heavens!" Qin Xuan roared to the sky.
Suddenly, Qin Xuan thought that his wife, Tantai Yue, might have a solution. She was a project deputy manager at her company. Borrowing thirty thousand yuan from her shouldn't be difficult, right?
For the past three years, Qin Xuan knew that he was unworthy of her as a live-in son-in-law, so he treated her with all his heart, thinking she wouldn't refuse. With this thought, Qin Xuan quickly called Tantai Yue, but she hung up directly.
Qin Xuan was puzzled. He called again, but she hung up again.
"What's going on?" Qin Xuan was confused. Although Tantai Yue was usually quite indifferent to him, she had never hung up on his calls before. What was happening today?
He quickly reconsidered. It was only eight o'clock in the evening. Tantai Yue usually worked overtime until nine o'clock. She should still be at work.
At this moment, a message from Tantai Yue arrived.
Qin Xuan looked at it. It turned out she was in a meeting, no wonder she couldn't answer.
"If I go over now, she should be finishing work soon. I can pick her up on the way home."
With this thought, Qin Xuan started running towards Tantai Yue's company.
Tantai Yue's company was not far, about half an hour's run.
Just after crossing the Jiangbei Bridge, Qin Xuan was a bit tired from running. He found a small convenience store, bought a bottle of mineral water for one yuan, and drank it in one gulp.
He crushed the bottle flat, put it in his pocket, and prepared to continue running towards Tantai Yue's company.
Just then, Qin Xuan suddenly saw a familiar figure.
A fair, almond-shaped face, expressive and captivating beautiful eyes, and a devilishly attractive figure.
A head of dazzling maple-sugar colored hair cascaded down her shoulders. She was wearing a professional OL outfit, with a white shirt underneath. Her slender legs were clad in black stockings and a tailored short skirt, accentuating her perfect figure.
Especially the most eye-catching pair of fiery red high heels on her feet, which added a touch of captivating allure to her beauty, making it impossible to look away once you saw her, igniting a burning desire.
This person was Qin Xuan's stunningly beautiful wife, Tantai Yue.
Although Qin Xuan hadn't had a good day in three years, he felt incredibly lucky to have married such an exceptional beauty.
Qin Xuan waved his hand, about to go over and greet his wife, Tantai Yue, when he noticed a man in a suit standing beside Tantai Yue, exuding an air of high status.
Tantai Yue was chatting and laughing with the man.
As the man spoke, he draped his jacket over Tantai Yue's shoulders, and Tantai Yue smiled and nodded.
Qin Xuan's anger immediately flared up.
Didn't she say she was in a meeting? Meeting here with another man?
Heh, no wonder she didn't answer his calls.
Unable to contain his anger, Qin Xuan ran over and shoved the man next to Tantai Yue forcefully.
"Let go of my wife!"
"Qin Xuan!" Tantai Yue was startled by Qin Xuan's sudden appearance, but quickly frowned.
"What are you doing here?"
Qin Xuan sneered,
"Why am *I* here? Shouldn't you be asking yourself that? Weren't you working overtime at the company?"
"I..." Tantai Yue was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"F*** you!" The man in the suit, who had been pushed by Qin Xuan, got up from the ground and kicked Qin Xuan fiercely, landing a blow to his abdomen.
The slender Qin Xuan was directly kicked flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and crashing into a roadside stall. The stall owner was about to curse, but upon seeing who had attacked, he quickly shut his mouth.
This was because the attacker was the eldest young master of the Jin family, Jin Shikai, and a recipient of the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" award in Jiangbei City.
The Jin family was a prominent and influential family in Jiangbei City. Jin Shikai was notoriously decadent, having ruined enough women in Jiangbei City to form an elite company, and even many ladies from respectable families had not escaped his clutches.
"I didn't expect Young Master Jin to be here. Could he be interested in one of the ladies on Xuanhua Street?"
"Lady? What are you talking about? Xuanhua Street is surrounded by universities. There are countless young university women who come here to hang out. He's definitely looking for prey. Look, the one next to Young Master Jin, that beauty, I've never seen anyone so gorgeous in my life."
"Holy crap! You're right! How can someone be this beautiful!"
"To be able to sleep with a woman this beautiful for one night, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life!"
The surrounding murmurs naturally reached Qin Xuan's ears.
At this moment, Qin Xuan's heart plummeted into an abyss.
He hadn't expected Tantai Yue to treat him this way.
He had poured his heart out for her. Although he was indeed unworthy of her, they were still husband and wife. Did she need to be in such a hurry?
"Pah! You dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? You useless trash." Jin Shikai brushed the dust off himself, then glanced coldly at Qin Xuan, before spitting on him.
"You must be Yue'er's useless husband, right? Hmph, just as I suspected, you're garbage. Only I am worthy of a woman like Yue'er. Since you're here, I'll tell you now, starting today, I will be pursuing Yue'er. You can get lost."
