The Depth of Her Hatred

Bai Ran and Si Zhengze fell in love at the prime of their lives.

They were a perfect match, admired by everyone around them.

Their families were well-matched, and both sets of parents were happy to see them married.

Everything was going smoothly, and Bai Ran thought they would get married, have children, and live a simple life together.

However, on her wedding day, fate played a cruel joke on her!

On her wedding night, Bai Ran spent a passionate night with her "lover"...

By dawn, the door to the bridal chamber was forcefully opened!

At that moment, Bai Ran was lying on the bed, barely covered, with evidence of the night's events all around her...

The bruises on her body, her torn wedding dress, the red stain on the bed sheets, and the lingering scent of intimacy...

Everything indicated how intense the previous night had been!

Bai Ran would never forget the way Si Zhengze glared at her with a twisted expression.

"Bai Ran! You're filthy!"

Bai Ran was stunned.

She then realized that on her wedding night, she had lost herself to a stranger...

She didn't even know who the man was!

Before she woke up, the man had left her behind and disappeared!

After that, Bai Ran faced endless humiliation and accusations from her family and Si Zhengze's family...

Shameless, dirty, and disgraceful... became her defining labels!

Helplessly, Bai Ran didn't know how to explain.

Inexplicably, she had gone to the wrong bridal chamber, slept with the wrong groom! She lost her purity and missed out on the happiness that was within her reach!

Her world had collapsed...

...

Sheng Xiangsi listened to the story, deeply moved and at a loss for words.

There are countless forms of suffering in the world, and Bai Ran, who seemed so optimistic and independent, had endured such hardship.

"Ranran."

Sheng Xiangsi's eyes were slightly red as she spoke hoarsely, "Then, why are you still together?"

It was understandable for Si Zhengze to mind this; after all, who would want to be cuckolded on their wedding night?

Shouldn't they have divorced?

"Because..."

Bai Ran choked up, "At first, Zhengze said he didn't mind. He said he didn't want to lose me more than anything. But then..."

She couldn't continue.

But Sheng Xiangsi could guess.

Later, Si Zhengze couldn't get over it and began fooling around outside, venting his resentment and taking revenge on his wife's perceived impurity!

"Sob..."

Bai Ran raised her hand to cover her face, sobbing, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"Xiangsi, I hate him, I hate him so much."

Hate who? She didn't say.

But Sheng Xiangsi thought that Bai Ran probably hated the man who caused her to lose her virginity.

Sheng Xiangsi handed her a tissue to wipe her tears and cautiously suggested, "Ranran, have you thought about getting a divorce?"

"Divorce?" Bai Ran was stunned, looking confused.

Clearly, she hadn't thought about it.

"Yes."

Sheng Xiangsi nodded, urging her, "You two are just torturing each other. If being together makes you unhappy, why continue?"

Bai Ran shook her head, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

"Then think about it. You're still young. Don't trap yourself in a dead marriage."

...

A few days later, the doctor came to check on Fu Hanjiang and stopped his IV drip.

"From now on, just take oral medication."

Fu Hanjiang had had enough of the hospital and immediately asked, "Does that mean I can be discharged?"

"It's not impossible," the doctor replied, "but staying a couple more days would be safer."

"No need," Fu Hanjiang waved his hand. "I'm getting moldy from lying here."

Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but roll her eyes. Moldy?

Did he think she was blind?

These days, although he was hospitalized, Rong Zheng came by often. Every day, Fu Hanjiang was handling business while hooked up to his IV. Who else would it be but him?

"Alright then."

The doctor had to compromise, "But Mr. Fu, after you're discharged, take your medicine on time, avoid strenuous activities, and get plenty of rest."

"I understand."

At that moment, Rong Zheng went to handle the discharge procedures.

Since Fu Hanjiang wasn't fully recovered yet, according to Fu Mingzhu's wishes, they returned to the Fu residence after discharge.

The Fu residence had servants and a chef, making things more convenient.

Naturally, Sheng Xiangsi was pulled along by Fu Hanjiang.

Upon returning to the Fu residence, Sheng Xiangsi learned that Fu Hanchuan had a three-year-old child! And the child was currently living at the Fu house!

She looked at Fu Hanjiang, who held her hand and nodded knowingly, "Yes, this is why my brother and Yueyi fought."

Sheng Xiangsi was silent, not knowing what to say.

A while ago, Yao Yueyi had been accusing Fu Hanchuan of betraying her, and now it turned out to be true! The child was already three years old, so it wasn't a recent event.

Indeed, people couldn't be judged by their appearances. Fu Hanchuan seemed so refined and restrained, yet he had done such a thing?

Of course, Sheng Xiangsi only mocked this in her heart.

This matter had nothing to do with her; she had no need or right to comment on it.

However, she suddenly thought of Junjun.

Sheng Xiangsi looked at Fu Hanjiang and thought to herself that the two brothers were indeed alike, sharing a tendency to have children without taking responsibility.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Fu Hanjiang felt uneasy under her gaze. "I only have you. I don't have any children with anyone else!"

Really? Sheng Xiangsi smiled faintly without saying anything.

"Let's go."

Fu Hanjiang held Sheng Xiangsi's hand and led her upstairs, pulling her into his bedroom.

"Xiangsi, help me change clothes."

Sheng Xiangsi glanced at him, "The doctor said your wound has healed."

"The doctor said it has closed, not that it's healed."

Fu Hanjiang wrapped an arm around her waist. "It's still delicate. I can't change by myself; you need to help me."

"Don't get so close." Sheng Xiangsi disliked his clinginess. "Stand properly, or change yourself."

"What's wrong?"

Fu Hanjiang refused to comply, staring at her blushing face. "Why are you blushing? Feeling shy because of my abs?"

"Fu Hanjiang!" Sheng Xiangsi was angry and embarrassed. "Can you be serious?"

"How am I not being serious with my girlfriend?"

Fu Hanjiang grabbed her hand and placed it on his waist. "Your face is red. Do you like my abs?"

"Let go!"

"Do you like them or not?"

"Like what?"

Sheng Xiangsi glared at him. "You've been lying in the hospital for so long. Your abs are soft and flabby. What's there to like?"

"What?" Fu Hanjiang was shocked. "That can't be."

He poked his abs. "They're still fine, not flabby."

Seizing the opportunity, Sheng Xiangsi ran out. "Change yourself! I'm leaving!"

"Xiangsi!" Fu Hanjiang reached out but couldn't catch her, letting her run away.

Sheng Xiangsi ran downstairs and faintly heard voices in the hall.

"Yuanbao, I made you some snacks. Come eat."

"I don't want them! You're not my mom!"
