Besides that, some bad things did happen.

For some unknown reason, the Shi and Du families dragged their entire families to the capital.

Du's parents couldn't find Du Xiang, but they were able to find out about Cheng Xue, who had been close to Du Xiang back then.

They threw a tantrum and played the victim, even at Cheng Xue's school. Shi An hadn't mentioned Du Xiang to his family, but Shi Kang knew she was studying there. The two families plotted and reasoned that Du Xiang was likely in the same school as Cheng Xue, and staged a dramatic scene of abandoned parents and mothers-in-law.

It has to be Cheng Xue who made those two families public enemies with her lengthy tabloid article.

Unable to deal with Du Xiang, they planned to publish a notice in the newspaper targeting Du Dani and Du Lan, two unfilial daughters. Cheng Xue had eaten at Du Xiang's house and had been in contact with Du Dani, so she gave her a heads-up about the matter.

Duran was ruthless. He gathered a group of people to bully them every day, making them realize the dangers and complexities of society, and forcing them to return to their hometown.

Of course, this was a problem for the Du family, and she had no interest in dealing with the Shi family's troubles. She directly reported the matter to Shi An, and how Shi An handled it was none of her business.

Du Lan is also opportunistic. Although her relationship with Du Xiang is not as good as that with Du Dani, this is mainly because they are both cunning. Back then, Du Dani was allowed to cause trouble, but Du Dani was still biased towards Du Xiang, whom she raised. Du Lan did not benefit as much as Du Xiang, so she couldn't help but complain a bit.

But no matter how close blood ties are, when facing external threats, we must be of one mind.

After hearing from Du Dani which school Du Xiang attended, Du Lan even checked it out herself, and it turned out to be quite something.

In the end, the most successful member of the Du family is still Du Xiang. She knows how to leverage her connections, and she has sometimes asked Shi An for help with business matters.

But perhaps because Du Xiang was successful, and her business with Du Dani was also doing well, she became a little arrogant and didn't think much of her brother-in-law Shi An.

Anyway, she thought differently from Du Dani. She didn't think it was necessary to treat Shi An better, to solidify his marriage with Du Xiang, and to make him treat Du Xiang better.

Even if they get divorced, it's no big deal. Besides, didn't he get a great deal in this marriage?

Since losing her husband, her life has been on the rise. Even if Du Xiang divorces and comes back, the situation will just be that she is a widow with a daughter, and her older sister is a widow with a younger sister. The four of them are still doing just fine.

Besides, does Du Xiang even need to be taken care of? She's even more cunning than her; she never got the better of her when they were kids.

Of course, this doesn't stop her from constantly talking about Du Xiang when educating her children, telling her daughter Yuanyuan to learn from her aunt Du Xiang.

Yuanyuan: My aunt, whom I've never met but everyone talks about as a winner in life.

There's no need to compare them to other people's children; they have their own aunt.

......

Six years had passed when Du Xiang returned.

Shi An couldn't describe how he felt when he saw her name in the top-secret file.

There have indeed been many changes in the past two years. He knew that there were some secret studies being conducted by higher authorities, and he had some suspicions about it, but seeing it in person was another matter entirely.

The information should be sealed away. These people are all valuable talents. Their names are being concealed, which is both a protection and a regret, but they will see the light of day one day.

When he saw Du Xiang again, he felt a little timid. There had always been too much distance between them before, but now it seemed that there was no distance at all. However, it was as if there was still an invisible distance.

Du Xiang was very casual and didn't stand on ceremony when meeting people.

"tired."

She was exhausted. Ever since her rebirth, she had been keeping herself busy with a whole host of things.

Well, she did it willingly.

Now things have finally gone as she wished, and her tense nerves have completely relaxed.

In truth, how could she not be afraid of failure? She was someone who had started over, and she was afraid that this opportunity would ultimately turn into a mirage, afraid that fate would mock her and give her a failed outcome, and afraid that she would still be unwilling to accept it for the rest of her life.

It's not that she can't relax, it's that she doesn't dare to.

Upon hearing her words, Shi An composed himself and calmly replied, "Okay, let's go home."

They now have a proper home, but Du Xiang has never returned. The only traces of Shi An's life are left in the house.

Du Xiang adapted well, completely ignoring Shi An, and went straight to the soft bed, falling asleep immediately.

Helpless, Shi An covered her with the blanket and then stayed by her side.

He hadn't seen her for many years.

They weren't exactly a devoted couple, but they had briefly supported each other. As they drifted apart, he relied on those memories to get through the days.

After calming down, Shi An told himself that he had made it through everything.

They will create many more memories together in the future.

Du Xiang slept soundly for days after returning home, staying at home every day and not going out.

She's actually doing alright now. She'll have a vacation now that this matter is over, but there will probably be more of these kinds of things in the future. Knowing her personality, she'll definitely be at the forefront.

Currently, as she wishes, she is teaching at the Joint Defense University, just like her teacher.

It's winter break now, a rare chance to relax.

Du Xiang took Shi An to her sister's house over the weekend, and Du Xiang couldn't help but gasp in amazement as soon as she entered.

She already knew that her eldest and second eldest sisters were doing very well in their businesses, much better than that.

Du Dani finally got her wish after much anticipation, and then burst into tears again. She didn't have any children, but she had dated someone in the past few years. Of course, it was the man who pursued her, and she didn't refuse. According to Du Lan, she felt that the man had ulterior motives, so she interfered and ruined the relationship.

Du Dani was happy to have some peace and quiet.

When Yuanyuan started elementary school, she was incredibly curious to see her aunt whom she had never met before. She asked all sorts of questions, showing her great interest. Du Lan and Du Dani prepared a huge feast for her.

The trajectory of their fate changed at some point. The three sisters went from being poor and cold to where they are today. There was luck involved, but there was more hardship than fortune.

Only after you've weathered the storm can you laugh about those seemingly insignificant past experiences.

Shi An ate his meal silently, not participating in their conversation, but just listening quietly.

Of all the people at the table, Du Dani was the only honest one. She was even concerned about whether Shi An would feel uncomfortable. In the course of the conversation, the topic of having children somehow came up.

She was still thinking about helping Du Xiang take care of her child. Du Xiang didn't respond, but glanced at Du Lan unintentionally.

Duran understood and nudged his older sister under the table.

"Why would you give birth? Xiangxiang is so busy; she's destined for great things. Don't be so old-fashioned, sister. Besides, you've never given birth; you don't know what it feels like to walk through the gates of hell. Damn it..."

Du Lan was incredibly talkative; she never lost a neighborhood argument, except perhaps when she was younger and could out-talk Du Xiang. There was no way around it; her delivery was too forceful. Du Xiang, on the other hand, could simply cry obediently and say some nice things, and her older sister would quickly switch sides.

She was mainly observing Du Xiang's attitude at the moment, and wasn't speaking to her silly older sister, since there was an outsider at the table.

Little did she know that her description might have been too vivid, and she had scared Du Dani. Du Dani was easily frightened, and her anxiety made her dislike Shi An even more.

Du Dani's expression gradually became strange, and she even started to suggest that she wanted to persuade Du Xiang to get a divorce. After all, she and Du Lan had been living a really good life for the past few years, and their life was quite prosperous even after losing her husband.

Du Xiang glanced at her second sister, her meaning clear: the performance had gone a bit too far, and she should tone it down.
