In a blink of an eye, it was almost dark.

After finishing their meal with Ji Tiantian, the two went their separate ways.

Before leaving, Ji Tiantian seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Finally, I couldn't resist my curiosity and asked.

"Lili, are you and Gu Peisi still together? Last night you..."

Ji Tiantian's words stumped Shen Qingli. "Tiantian, why do you ask that?"

She glanced at Shen Qingli's neck with a somewhat evasive look.

Shen Qingli pondered the meaning of her eyes, and something flashed through her mind.

The foundation on her neck had been wiped off after a day of running around, revealing those ambiguous traces.

Ji Tiantian thought about the time she was with Gu Peisi last night, and guessed what those traces were.

When her best friend found out that she and Gu Peisi had done that, Shen Qingli's face turned red.

She stammered, "We were together... last night."

"Did he force you?" Ji Tiantian looked resentful.

She knew that Gu Peisi was very cunning and would not let Lili go easily.

Just look at Lili's appearance and you will know.

"No..." Gu Peisi forced her, but how could she say it out loud.

She held Shen Qingli's hand tightly and said to her: "If he really bullies you, tell me, I will take you away even if it costs my life."

"Okay." Shen Qingli agreed hesitantly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Lu Group was still brightly lit.

Gu Peisi glanced at the time and casually asked Lin Yuan: "It's getting late, you should get off work first."

After Lin Yuan left, he received a message in his mailbox.

He clicked it and saw the photos, his eyes became increasingly angry.

In the photo, Shen Qingli and Lu Fei are looking at each other, seemingly communicating something.

Looking at the background, one can guess at a glance that the two people are in a temple.

It turned out that she didn't go to work today and went to the temple with another man.

What are they doing in the temple? Are they asking Buddha to bless them so they can be together in the future?

He would never allow such a thing.

Under the light, Gu Peisi's expression became even colder.

He took out his cell phone and called someone.

Before dawn, Shen Qingli's cell phone kept ringing.

Helpless, she had to answer the phone. "Who is it?"

The other party's tone was very aggressive, and he scolded her: "Shen Qingli, is this what I taught you? You have no manners at all."

Anyone who is scolded early in the morning will be in a bad mood.

Shen Qingli looked at the number on the screen and sneered: "Mrs. Shen, didn't you teach me all this?"

"You... you really make me mad. If you still want that bracelet, come to the hospital after get off work today."

After saying that, Zhao Zilan hung up the phone abruptly.

At this time, Shen Qingli, who had been woken up, had lost all desire to sleep.

She guessed that Zhao Zilan asked her to come over simply because she was out of money.

Or force her to go back and reconcile with Gu Peisi.

She didn't want to go at first, but then she remembered that her grandmother's bracelet was still with her, so she thought she had to go after all.

After get off work, Shen Qingli took a taxi to the hospital.

During this period, as the Shen family was not as prosperous as before, Zhao Zilan was looked down upon a lot and had lost her former spirit.

As soon as she saw Shen Qingli, her eyes lit up, a look Shen Qingli had never seen before.

"Lili, girl, you come here so early, you haven't eaten yet?" She pulled Shen Qingli affectionately, which made her a little overwhelmed.

This guy changes his expression so quickly. He was scolding her in the morning, but now when he sees her, his expression has changed.

Shen Qingli avoided her hand calmly, with an indifferent expression.

Even so, Zhao Zilan didn't care.

She took Shen Qingli to Shen Mingqian's ward.

During this period, she sold a house, raised the medical expenses, and brought Shen Mingqian back from the brink of death.

Shen Mingqian now looks ten years older and is no different from an ordinary old man.

He sat on the bed, watching TV.

When he saw Shen Qingli coming, his eyes flashed.

"Dad." Shen Qingli called softly.

After hearing this, Shen Mingqian nodded.

The relationship between father and daughter seemed to have eased due to the decline of the Shen family.

Zhao Zilan waited on Shen Mingqian to finish his meal, then came to Shen Qingli and said with emotion: "You are such a considerate girl."

Shen Qingli lowered her eyes and did not reply.

It wasn’t that Zhao Zilan suddenly came to her senses, but that there was something else behind her words.

"Qingli, listen to your mother's advice. Since you are married to Gu Peisi, you are a member of the Gu family. How can you divorce casually?"

"Marriage is not a joke. When a couple quarrels, there is no grudge left overnight, right?"

Shen Qingli finally understood that Zhao Zilan's lobbying was probably Gu Peisi's doing.

As long as he gave Zhao Zilan some benefits, she would be willing to speak for him.

"Did he come to see you?"

Zhao Zilan avoided her gaze: "No..."

Shen Qingli looked straight at her and sneered: "Has he ever told you that he has another woman? If Shen Mingqian has someone else outside, can you still sit there like this?"

After hearing this, Zhao Zilan cursed in a low voice: "Shen Qingli, you think he really can't bear to part with you, but he just finds it troublesome. Don't be ungrateful."

Everything that happened just now was Zhao Zilan's disguise.

Seeing that Shen Qingli refused to listen, his defense broke down instantly.

Shen Qingli didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she got up and left.

Thinking of what someone said to her, Zhao Zilan panicked, "You don't want your grandma's bracelet anymore?"

"As long as you come back, I promise to give it to you."

In the end, Shen Qingli got a bracelet back from Zhao Zilan and she agreed to go back.

Since he forced her to do so, she would go back.

After leaving the hospital, Shen Qingli went straight back to Jinyuan.

When the servant saw Shen Qingli, his eyes looked ambiguous.

She knew that even though her wife had left, she would definitely come back.

Shen Qingli bypassed the servants and went directly to the study. She knew that Gu Peisi was there at this time.

She didn't knock and just barged in.

Seeing Gu Peisi at the desk, he walked straight towards him.

"Gu Peisi, what did you say to my mother?" She glared at him with anger in her eyes.

Gu Peisi stopped what he was doing and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Didn't your mother teach you to knock before coming in?"

His eyes were filled with obvious displeasure, which made Shen Qingli give up.

Yes, she is uneducated. Zhao Zilan was so stingy that she didn't even give her living expenses, let alone teach her how to behave.

Shen Qingli was silent.

She turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Gu Peisi.

"You went to the temple? And with Lu Fei? Mrs. Gu, remember your identity."

His eyes were dark, with a hint of anger.

She wasn't angry that he sent someone to follow him, so why should he be angry.

"I said, as long as we get divorced, then nothing will happen."

As if he could see what she was thinking, Gu Peisi sneered: "You went to the temple and were secretly photographed. What, do you think it was me who did it?"

Shen Qingli was sure of the truth of Gu Peisi's words. There was no need for him to lie to her.

Who is behind her harm?
