Wen Lele was lying on the hospital bed with bandages all over her body, leaving only her eyes, nose, and lips exposed. Her scalp and face were severely burned as well.

Upon the sight of her plight, Bu Xianxian asked worriedly, “How is Sister Wen doing now?”

“She’s alright,” Shi Shaochuan answered.

“You must take good care of Sister Wen and give her the best treatment and medicine.”

Shi Shaochuan shot Bu Xianxian a glance to warn her to leave immediately. However, Bu Xianxian pretended not to see it and continued, “Sister Wen, have you found out who the person who had set you on fire is?”

Wen Lele finally broke out of her deadpan expression and asked in a loud but hoarse voice, “Do you know who it is?”

Before Bu Xianxian could even answer, she was dragged out of the hospital ward by Shi Shaochuan, who had grabbed her by the arm.

“What on earth are you trying to do?” Shi Shaochuan asked, glaring at her menacingly.

“Shaochuan, I thought that your wife already knew who the culprit is. I don’t mean anything else. Don’t get me wrong.”

“Cut the crap. Just why did you come to the hospital? Tell me clearly.”

“Shaochuan, I really don’t have any other intentions. I just really wanted to see you.”

Shi Shaochuan was beyond irritated and he rebuked, “Xianxian, can you stop showing up in front of me from now on? I don’t want to see you.”

“Shaochuan, I didn’t mean to intrude, but I just can’t stop myself from wanting to see you. I won’t jeopardize your life. I mean it. So, stop being so uptight and stop guarding against me all the time. I won’t spout any nonsense to your wife either. That’s not something I would do.”

“Enough. If there’s nothing else you need to say, just go back.”

“There’s something I have to tell you. Shaochuan, could you lend me some money?” she asked, gazing at him with the sweetest smile she could put on.

He sneered, “When was the last time I gave you money? It wasn’t that long ago. Bu Xianxian, do you take me for your cash cow? We no longer have anything to do with each other. What are you thinking? Are you out of your mind?”

“This is the last time. It really is,” she pleaded, staring at him earnestly.

Shi Shaochuan took out his wallet and handed her a thin stack of hundred-dollar bills. “Take it and scram immediately.”

Feeling extremely humiliated upon the sight of the meager amount of money he had given her, she retorted, “What do you take me for? A beggar?”

“I take you for a leech. Even beggars are better at supporting themselves than you are.”

“Shi Shaochuan, you…”

“Don’t give me double standards. To be honest with you, I’m not scared of whatever nonsense you might say to my wife. After all, she’s already been horribly burned. I’m just taking pity and feeling sorry for her. So, stop trying to threaten me. I’m not afraid of anything. Also…” He pointed his index finger at her and continued, “Don’t try and pull any funny tricks with me. I won’t show you any mercy just because you’re a woman.”

Bu Xianxian grabbed the money and said, “I won’t show up in front of you ever again. Rest assured.”

“I hope you’ll keep your word.”

Shi Shaochuan then returned to the hospital ward.

Wen Lele almost fell off the bed, and he hurriedly pushed her back onto the mattress. Wen Lele stared at him and asked, “Just who was the one who had set me on fire? Don’t tell me you were trying to kill me?”

“How could it be me? We’re still in the midst of investigating, and I believe there’ll be an outcome very soon. Just focus on resting and recuperating,” he answered, refusing to tell her the truth.

Extremely agitated, Wen Lele glared at him and questioned, “That woman seems to know who the culprit is. Are you hiding it from me on purpose?”

“She’s my ex-girlfriend. I shall be honest with you. She was merely trying to spite you deliberately because I’m ignoring her now. That’s why she pretended to be in the know. I haven’t even found out who the culprit is, how could she possibly know?” Shi Shaochuan said patiently.

“I refuse to believe that all of the surveillance cameras were faulty. There has to be a few that were working fine, such as those along the corridors and the stairwell. The fire didn’t spread to those areas. We’ll find out who had gone upstairs after checking the surveillance camera footages. I know you’re just hiding it from me.”

“How many times must I repeat myself in order for you to believe me? The person who committed arson had completely destroyed all the surveillance cameras. We can’t see anything at all.”

Wen Lele did not know if she should believe him or not. From the moment she came to, she felt as if she was in a living hell, for the rest of her life was now ruined.

“Please leave, I want to be alone for a while.”

Shi Shaochuan did not wish to stay in the ward at all. Upon hearing her words, he took a look at the time on his watch and said, “I’ll call for the nurse to come in.”

Wen Lele watched him leave quietly.

A minute later, the door was opened again. Wen Lele tensed up at the sight of Bu Xianxian, who had locked the door after her. “What do you want?” Wen Lele questioned.

Bu Xianxian walked toward her and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, I won’t do anything to you.”

“Are you Shaochuan’s ex-girlfriend?”

Bu Xianxian shook her head and answered, “I wasn’t his girlfriend but his kept woman. I came to tell you something, but you mustn’t tell Shi Shaochuan that I was the one who told you this. Otherwise, he’s not going to let me off.”

Wen Lele agreed with a nod, “I won’t tell him. Go ahead and speak.”

“The person who had set you on fire is Shi Bao’er.”

“Bao’er?”

“Do you know why I’m certain that she was the one? It’s because she had once tried to burn me before and I was lightly burned when that happened. I didn’t sustain any major injuries, unlike you. Shi Bao’er is the epitome of a devil. She even added pesticide to my cosmetic products. Don’t be fooled by her age, she’s very vicious. That’s why Shi Shaochuan refused to tell you who the culprit is.”

Seething and trembling with exasperation, Wen Lele asked with tears in her eyes, “Is that true?”

“Without a doubt. Why would I lie to you? I heard that Shi Shaochuan has returned the custody of Shi Bao’er back to Jin Qingyue, her mother. If it weren’t because of this incident, why would he choose to give up Shi Bao’er? Besides… do you know what your husband said to me when we were outside just now? He said that he isn’t afraid of whatever nonsense I might say to you, because you’re already so horribly scalded, and that he’s only taking pity on you because he feels that he had let you down. I’m not being nosy, but I just want to tell you truthfully that he’ll definitely divorce you sooner or later because of the plight you’re in now. After all, why would a jerk like him stay devoted to you? So, you’d better fight for more of his assets to ensure your financial security.”

Wen Lele burst into tears and began bawling loudly. Her heart had completely shattered, and money was the last thing on her mind.

Staring at the sorry plight that Wen Lele was in, Bu Xianxian could not help but feel a little lucky. I was still rather disgruntled when they got married back then, but thank God I didn’t marry Shi Shaochuan. If not, I might very well be the person lying here today instead.

After Bu Xianxian left, Wen Lele went into hysterics and began yelling and screaming her lungs out. Upon seeing how agitated she was, the nurse hurriedly tried to placate her feelings, to no avail.
