Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

"That's enough. Keep the rest."

Jiang Tong said coldly, "Qinghe, we're leaving."

Li Qinghe nodded and got into Jiang Tong's car.

Li Qinghe asked with some skepticism, "Sister-in-law, are you really here to introduce me to a rich second-generation heir?"

“I can certainly introduce you to the kind of person you’re looking to meet, but I think you shouldn’t rush into marriage right now. Focus on developing your career.”

"Sister-in-law, why did you come here...?"

"Your older brother and I understand your current situation."

As Jiang Tong drove, she said that it was Li Wenhong who told the old man, and the old man then told her and Li Jingchen.

“I know Ning Jian’an’s temper better than you do. You and your second aunt don’t get along. You and your second aunt moved out, and you still have Xixi with you. We thought we’d help you. Xixi is suffering because of you, and the old man is worried about not being able to sleep well.”

Despite their past conflicts with Ning Jian'an and Li Dongzan, Li Jingchen and Jiang Tong couldn't bear to see the old man so worried, as well as Lu Chunlian, who was recovering from a serious illness, and little Xixi...

It's the children who suffer.

"So I was thinking of letting you invest in one of the businesses under my subsidiary, so you can make more money and get dividends at the end of the year, at least several hundred thousand."

Li Qinghe's eyes glistened with tears. "Sister-in-law, thank you and my brother so much. Thank you so much."

Jiang Tong sighed helplessly, "No need to thank me. I just hope you can stand up for yourself in the future and not be as cowardly as you were just now. He humiliated you and Xixi like that, and you didn't say a word?"

She had been there for several minutes, listening ever since the other party started humiliating Li Xixi as a burden.

She thought that Li Qinghe would definitely slap the other person based on her temper, but she didn't expect her to be so submissive, which made her unable to listen to it anymore, so she got out of the car to defuse the situation.

Li Qinghe lowered her head. "He was introduced to me by my mother's friend, so I tolerated it."

Jiang Tong said, "No matter who introduced you, if you're not interested in them, don't let them treat you to dinner. Go Dutch, make sure the bill is clear, so they don't feel like they're getting a good deal. We're not short of money. Make things clear, otherwise you'll never know what they'll say about you behind your back."

Tears welled up in Li Qinghe's eyes. "Sister-in-law, I didn't want to go on this blind date. I don't know what to do. I used to argue back and resist, but they're right. I'm pregnant out of wedlock, and even my closest relatives look down on me. What am I going to do?"

Unable to hold back her grievances any longer, Li Qinghe covered her face and cried bitterly.

"Actually, I really regret it!"

"It's all that night's fault. I was so stupid not to abort the child. My life is ruined!"

Jiang Tong stopped the car and turned off the engine.

“You chose this path yourself, Li Qinghe. You didn’t call the police immediately, and you chose to give birth to Xixi afterwards. You didn’t regret it then, so why do you regret it now? What right do you have to regret it?”

Li Qinghe sniffed. "People look down on me, saying I'm immoral, but I haven't had sex since that one night. Why are they humiliating me like this?"

Jiang Tong stared at her, her words sharp and scathing, "You despise yourself, no wonder others want to humiliate you. Who hasn't made mistakes in their life? You were tricked and drugged by your classmate, and slept with by a scumbag. You didn't fight back, and now you're blaming yourself for everything. Are you stupid?"

Li Qinghe lowered her hands from her face. "Sister-in-law, you're right. I'm such a fool... I thought my family would understand me, but now I realize that my dad and brother don't care about me at all! Why are they treating me like this..."

Jiang Tong could understand Li Qinghe's feelings.

In your most helpless and misunderstood moments, who is the light? You have no choice but to grit your teeth and keep going.

"Remember this: the only person in this world who can truly condemn you is yourself. Whether it's your family, friends, or even strangers, they have no right to condemn you. Life is about upholding your principles. If you feel you're wrong, tell yourself not to repeat the mistake. If you feel you're not wrong, let others say what they want. Don't let their words lead you astray. Who can shield you from the wind and rain? Who can share your pain? Who can truly empathize? In the end, you still have to rely on yourself."

"Oh, sister-in-law!!"

These words struck a chord with Li Qinghe...

She collapsed onto Jiang Tong's shoulder and cried like a child.

Jiang Tong patted Li Qinghe's back. Back then, when she gave birth to Jiang Mingyang alone, people who didn't know about her relationship with her ex-husband thought she was a young girl who was promiscuous and gossiped about her behind her back, saying she was immoral.

Jiang Tong couldn't stand it anymore, so she slapped the person who was gossiping.

After that, no one in the entire Ziwei Garden dared to talk about her behind her back anymore.

Only when you are strong will others dare not criticize you.

Jiang Tong gave Li Qinghe great confidence and encouragement.

Instead of marrying just any man during your most confused time and living a messy life, it's better to calm down and use this time to enrich yourself.

Li Qinghe began to work hard.

She used to spend all her money, but now she knows the importance of savings. She saved up some money and invested in Jiang Tong's businesses. If Jiang Tong hadn't helped her, she wouldn't have been eligible to invest.

She was very grateful to her sister-in-law.

In Jiang Tong, Li Qinghe saw the warmth of girls helping each other, and the confidence from her family.

Compared to Ning Jian'an, who couldn't wait to sever ties with her, Jiang Tong would introduce her as her sister when she took her out, and would never specifically say that she was her husband's cousin. She would also tell others that her family was well-off, giving Li Qinghe plenty of confidence.

...It was a month later when Li Qinghe saw Song Qingyi again.

Song Qingyi invited her to dinner. While driving, he happened to hear a sweet little song, and the voice sounded a lot like Li Qinghe.

Upon seeing the name, it was indeed sung by Li Qinghe.

Li Qinghe said, "I composed the music myself, and it was a lucky accident that it became so popular."

Song Qingyi encouraged her, "You've been accumulating knowledge and experience for a long time."

Li Qinghe smiled and lowered her head to drink her juice.

Song Qingyi then asked her, "Haven't you been dating anyone lately?"

"No," Li Qinghe said truthfully, "I'm too busy to talk."

Song Qingyi teased, "Are you still in shock from your ex-boyfriend?"

Who is it? Xiao Han?

Li Qinghe felt it was a long time ago. She told the truth, "Actually, Xiao Han and I never kissed or had sex. I was just fooled by his sweet words."

Song Qingyi suddenly understood something, "So you..."

Li Qinghe wasn't afraid of him laughing at her, "Actually, the person I'm closest to is still Xixi's biological father, that bastard."

Song Qingyi fell silent.
