After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

Old Dong pulled his bathrobe tighter around himself.

His face turned pale, and he looked aggrieved. Like a frightened bird, he jumped out of bed and instinctively wanted to hide behind Yan Xiong.

But to his surprise, Yan Xiong gave him a cold glare.

His eyes were terrifying.

Then, he dodged Old Dong's approach and quickly walked towards Du Xiaoyue.

His heavy gaze fell on her lewd old face, and Yan Xiong was heartbroken. A look of disgust involuntarily appeared between his brows.

"Go fetch a basin of cold water!" he said through gritted teeth, emphasizing each word.

"Yes!"

The maid hurriedly left for the bathroom.

Soon, a basin of cold water was brought over and handed to Yan Xiong.

Without saying a word, Yan Xiong poured a whole basin of cold water onto Du Xiaoyue's face.

The icy sensation caused Du Xiaoyue to shiver uncontrollably.

Pupil constriction.

My gaze gradually focused, and Yan Xiong's face slowly appeared before me.

"Old... Yan?"

With difficulty, Du Xiaoyue moved her lips, and her voice was hoarse when she suddenly spoke.

The lingering effects of the medication left her head spinning, unsure of what had happened.

Yan Xiong withdrew his gaze and didn't look at her again.

"Call the family doctor over."

The family doctor arrived quickly and gave Du Xiaoyue an injection, which finally made her fully awake.

The group sat on the sofa.

Yan Xiong stood stiffly upright, and the chill emanating from his body seemed to materialize, carrying a sharp, tingling pain.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Du Xiaoyue was wearing a cloak, her hair was disheveled, and she hadn't had time to tidy herself up.

She lowered her head.

She secretly shed tears, one tear after another rolling down her cheeks.

It felt like a huge boulder was pressing on my heart; I felt depressed, in pain, and even breathing became difficult.

She came from a prestigious family and received an excellent education from a young age, making her virtuous and kind.

I have never done anything that would damage my reputation.

But today... today she did something so indecent while she was not in her right mind.

Thinking about all this, she felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Du Xiaoyue, can you explain this?"

After a long silence, Yan Xiong finally glanced at Du Xiaoyue.

“I…” Du Xiaoyue trembled, and she raised her head with tears in her eyes, looking extremely aggrieved. “Old Yan, believe me, I was framed.”

"It was her! It was Yan Niannian who deliberately drugged me."

Du Xiaoyue raised her hand with a ferocious expression and pointed at Yan Niannian.

Yan Niannian pursed her lips into a faint, mocking smile.

Ah!

Are we finally talking about her?

When she looked up again, Yan Niannian's expression returned to normal.

She smiled enigmatically, "Madam Yan, why would I drug you?"

"Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?"

"Because...because..."

Du Xiaoyue's lips trembled slightly.

Feeling guilty, she couldn't refute him for a moment.

Because she couldn't very well publicly admit that she was the one who wanted to harm Yan Niannian, but when she failed, she ended up reaping the consequences herself!

Yan Niannian knew what she was afraid of.

But she just wouldn't let her have her way.

“Mr. Dong!” Raising her eyelids, Yan Niannian’s gaze fell on Old Dong, who was huddled to the side with his head practically buried in his burrow. “Mr. Yan considers you a close friend, but what about you? What have you done?”

"One should not covet a friend's wife."

"Shouldn't you give Mr. Yan an explanation for this?"

"I……"

Old Dong looked up shakily and met Yan Niannian's deep eyes.

His calm demeanor contained a powerful ability to strategize and plan.

His heart skipped a beat.

I vaguely seemed to understand something.

Ah!

He and Du Xiaoyue thought they were very clever, but in the end, they still became clowns in Yan Niannian's hands.

How funny!

At this moment, those inappropriate thoughts he had about Yan Niannian were completely extinguished.

The best course of action now is to protect ourselves.

He completely absolved himself of any responsibility.

"Old Yan, let me explain. Your wife told me that Yan Niannian is beautiful and has a good figure, and that she will definitely be able to give me a son."

"Moreover, she is vain and likes to seduce men, as long as I can give her enough money."

"She said she was going to drug Yan Niannian and then put her in bed, and told me to go find her."

"But to my surprise, when I arrived as agreed, the person in bed was her instead."

"Oh! I know." After a pause, Old Dong looked as if he had just realized something. "She must have accidentally mixed up the two cups when she was drugging Miss Yan."

"She accidentally drank the medicine."

"Old Yan, you saw it when you came in. Du Xiaoyue was pulling me back and wouldn't let me leave."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiong was taken aback, and his brows furrowed even more deeply.

He looked at Du Xiaoyue in disbelief, "Is what he said true?"

"me……"

Du Xiaoyue panicked.

Hesitantly, she didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Having been married for so many years, Yan Xiong knows Du Xiaoyue all too well.

So, just by looking at her expression, Yan Xiong knew that what Lao Dong said was true.

"Du Xiaoyue!" Yan Xiong roared, his eyes filled with disgust and deep disappointment as he looked at Du Xiaoyue. "Are you insane?"

"You have a daughter yourself, how could you do such a heinous thing?"

"You really disappoint me!"

Du Xiaoyue's body suddenly trembled violently.

She stared blankly at Yan Xiong's face, where veins were throbbing, and her heart skipped a beat.

disappointment?

Yan Xiong had never spoken to her so harshly before.

Now... now it's because of Yan Niannian.

He feels sorry for her?!

Once the idea took hold, it quickly took root in my mind and became unstoppable.

Du Xiaoyue jumped up, raised her hand, and pointed at Yan Niannian's nose with a ferocious expression.

"Old Yan, why are you yelling at me like this because of Yan Niannian?"

"So what if I did it?"

"Who told her to be so shameless? Not only did she shamelessly seduce Zhuo Yuchen, but she also had to set her sights on you."

"To match her with Lao Dong is to give her credit."

What did I do wrong?

Her voice was sharp and piercing.

He started speaking recklessly.

Yan Xiong's face was terribly gloomy.

He clenched his fists tightly and slowly rose without saying a word.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he approached Du Xiaoyue.

Their eyes met, and Du Xiaoyue was immediately frightened by the coldness in his eyes. Her lips trembled involuntarily. "Old Yan, you..."

Snapped!

However, she was answered with a crisp sound.

Du Xiaoyue tilted her head sharply to the side.

Then came a sharp pain, and my cheeks burned.

Covering her face, Du Xiaoyue looked incredulously at Yan Xiong's hand, which was raised high and hadn't yet been lowered.

My mind goes blank.

She even forgot to shed tears.

"Du Xiaoyue, you have disappointed me greatly."

"All these years, I've misjudged you."

Yan Xiong spoke slowly and deliberately.

His voice was low and hoarse, and he didn't seem particularly agitated.

But often, the calmer one remains, the less room there is for maneuver.

So, Du Xiaoyue panicked completely.
