She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 160 The survivor is Jiang Jiuge

Although Fu Xiuheng had never explicitly instructed Lu An to investigate the matter before, only mentioning it once by chance, Lu An realized at that time that Fu Xiuheng would want to know the truth sooner or later.

Therefore, he took precautions and went to investigate in advance.

Lu An quickly sent the results of his investigation to Fu Xiuheng's email address.

Although Fu Xiuheng had mentally prepared himself before speaking, believing he could handle any outcome, his hand still trembled slightly when the actual result was presented to him.

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he mustered up the courage to open the information that Lu An had collected.

Fu Xiuheng already knew some of the outcomes in his heart.

But after browsing through it, he was still speechless with shock.

It turns out that all those things that had repeatedly caused discord and misunderstandings between him and Lin Qingran were actually meticulously planned and orchestrated by Lin Yuyan behind the scenes.

Even on the day Lin Qingran had a difficult childbirth, Lin Yuyan seemed to be happily celebrating her birthday at home, receiving everyone's blessings, but in reality, she had secretly bribed the hospital's midwife.

It was because of her malicious actions that Lin Qingran's labor was deliberately delayed for so long, her life was in imminent danger, and she almost lost her life in the delivery room.

Fortunately, the nurse who was present was not bribed. She couldn't stand by and watch, and risked her own safety to help Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran finally managed to snatch a glimmer of hope from her desperate situation.

On the surface, Lin Qingran faked her death in order to help these people escape from the capital.

But in reality, under those perilous circumstances, this was the only way for Lin Qingran to survive.

She was just trying to save her own life!

Fu Xiuheng stared at the data on the computer screen, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

Only then did he realize that he had been completely wrong all along, that he had been deceived by Lin Yuyan, and that it was because of his self-deception that he had hurt Lin Qingran.

Filled with remorse, he could no longer control his emotions and wept bitterly.

He covered his face, but tears kept sliding down his fingers as if they would never end.

Lu An was startled by Fu Xiuheng's intense reaction; he had never seen Fu Xiuheng so devastated.

Lu An quickly stepped forward to comfort Fu Xiuheng, trying to calm him down.

"President, please calm down. Your emotions are too volatile, it will harm your health."

No matter how Lu An tried to persuade him, Fu Xiuheng's emotions remained as turbulent as a tidal wave, and he was unable to extricate himself from deep self-blame and pain.

After a long while, Fu Xiuheng finally raised his head, his face streaked with tears, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"You go first, I want to be alone for a while."

Lu An remained silent for a moment, then helplessly left the room.

It was already getting dark, but Fu Xiuheng did not turn on the lights.

He sat in a dark corner, his thoughts surging like a tide.

Over the years, his attitude towards Lin Qingran had always been extremely hostile.

Every day when I come home from get off work and see her, she treats me with a cold shoulder.

Sometimes, he would rather stay in a hotel alone than return to the home where Lin Qingran was waiting for him, and face her tenderness and expectations.

But now that he's calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that not all the time he was with Lin Qingran was unhappy.

Those warm moments he had once overlooked gradually surfaced in his mind, such as the dinner that Lin Qingran had carefully prepared for him. Even if he only ate a few bites, Lin Qingran would be very happy.

For example, when he was sick, Lin Qingran took meticulous care of him. Even if he impatiently pushed her hand away, Lin Qingran would never leave.

Those little things that he once considered insignificant now seem so precious and heartwarming.

For a long time, whenever he dragged his tired body home, opened the door and saw Lin Qingran had prepared a sumptuous dinner for him, and then sat quietly on the sofa waiting for him to return with anticipation, he would involuntarily feel an extremely happy feeling.

It was a warm, grounded, and cherished happiness that seemed to dispel his day's fatigue and worries.

But soon, he would forcefully suppress this wonderful feeling.

He didn't know how to face this pure warmth, and he was afraid that he would become trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

So, faced with Lin Qingran's devotion, he always kept a cold face, using indifference and aloofness to disguise himself, wrapping his wavering heart under a thick layer of ice again, never thinking about how much harm his indifference would cause Lin Qingran.

However, when Fu Xiuheng calmed down and asked himself honestly, he was shocked to discover that he had actually become accustomed to Lin Qingran's presence.

This habit was so deeply ingrained that he never really realized it.

Even two years ago, when he thought Lin Qingran was dead, he was plagued by insomnia for a long time.

Especially when he comes home from get off work, opens the door, and finds the lights off, the once warm dining table empty of steaming food, and the person who used to greet him with a smile no longer on the sofa, Fu Xiuheng feels a void in his heart.

That empty feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, as if the most important part of his life had suddenly disappeared, leaving only endless loneliness and solitude.

However, due to his deep-seated stubbornness and pride, he vehemently denied his dependence on Lin Qingran, and was even more unwilling to admit that he had already fallen deeply in love with her.

This self-deception put him in a contradictory predicament.

Therefore, when he later discovered that Lin Qingran was not dead, he habitually treated her with the same indifferent attitude as before.

He used every malicious thought to view Lin Qingran, and tried to force her using the methods he was used to.

At that time, he was extremely confident, thinking that everything could go back to the past, and that Lin Qingran would continue to endure his indifference and wait for his change.

Sometimes it's even laughable to think that Lin Qingran is just putting on a brave face and trying to stay calm.

Perhaps she wanted to make herself regret it through this method.

However, Fu Xiuheng forgot that after so many twists and turns and hurt, Lin Qingran was no longer the person who had her heart and soul completely devoted to him.

Time changes many things, including people's hearts, but he was still immersed in his own fantasy and did not realize this.

The one who survived the ordeal and struggled to live through a difficult childbirth was not Lin Qingran, but Jiang Jiuge, who was destined to shine.
