Jiang Xiao boldly challenges Gao Wei to confront her, confident she can expose his lies. Cui Zhenyan hints that Gao Ming might use his daughter-in-law as a shield, but Jiang Xiao reveals the Gao family's troubles would deepen if they involve her. Meanwhile, Gao Ming returns home frustrated, unable to find Gao Wei, and learns that Nian Mutong is claiming to be ill.

She even wants Gao Wei to stay by her side serving her all the time.

Now she regrets it so much her guts are turning green. Why did she bring up that cheap bitch back then? Just because she was pretty, she wanted Gao Wei to go to Du Jinruo’s wedding and show off in front of everyone?

Who knew she’d end up bringing such a calamity back home.

Madam Gao wished time could roll back.

"Tell him to get his ass down here!" Gao Ming roared, and at the same time kicked over a chair beside him.

Upstairs, Gao Wei and Nian Mutong both heard the loud bang.

Nian Mutong flinched, yanking the quilt up to her face, only timidly leaving a pair of eyes exposed.

"Ah Wei, what do we do? Dad’s back, and he looks furious. Will he kick me out?"

She looked like a frightened little white rabbit.

Nian Mutong was just too beautiful; even in this scared little state she was exactly Gao Wei’s favorite type. It made him feel like he was her whole world, her sky and earth, that she leaned on him with her entire being and made him feel powerful. On top of that, her beauty never bored him; seeing her this worried and terrified, he immediately stroked her face to soothe her.

"Don’t be scared, he won’t. If he really tries to kick you out, I’ll leave with you. Mom definitely can’t bear to let me go, so in the end they’ll have no choice but to give in to you."

"Really? But I’m really scared Dad’s going to punish me in a bit. My whole body hurts right now. Jiang Xiao really kicked me hard, and I slammed into the wall. My shoulder’s all bruised, and when I fell my head hit the floor too. I hurt everywhere."

"That damned woman Jiang Xiao, just because Meng Xinian covers for her she thinks she can do whatever the hell she wants!"

Gao Wei said through gritted teeth, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get revenge for you. I’ll find someone and have them beat her till she’s spitting teeth! Also, you don’t need to go downstairs. Why don’t I take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

He’d been saying all along that he wanted to take her to the hospital, but Nian Mutong just wouldn’t go no matter what.

She was afraid that once she went to the hospital, Gao Ming would take some sort of action to make sure she could never come back.

Here in the Capital she really had no relatives or friends she could rely on, not even someone to speak a few words on her behalf. If Gao Ming really pulled some strings to force her to divorce Gao Wei, and did something to her at the hospital, what would she do?

Nian Mutong felt like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, isolated and helpless.

No matter what, she had to cling tightly to Gao Wei, and she absolutely could not leave the Gao Family, could not step out of this compound.

"I’m not going. I don’t need to. A few days of rest at home and I should be fine. It’s mainly Dad and Mom—I’m scared, I’m scared they’ll..."

"Xiao Tong, why did you have to do that to the cat...?" Gao Wei asked her this because his parents would definitely investigate the matter later.

But the moment he asked, Nian Mutong’s eyes went red.

"I already said it, I don’t even know whose cat that is. It ran into the house on its own. I just wanted to chase it out, I didn’t expect that cat to be so vicious. It kept yowling at me and tried to scratch me. I got scared and only then splashed water on it." As she spoke she was crying. "Ah Wei, you don’t believe me, do you? If you think I did it on purpose to kill that cat, I..."

Seeing her cry, Gao Wei’s heart ached.

"Okay, okay, I won’t ask anymore, I won’t ask. I believe what you said..."

Before Gao Wei could finish his sentence, Gao Ming’s furious voice exploded from downstairs.
