The small pills scattered on the ground had been picked up by Li Changpu, packed up and thrown far away.

When in the city, Li Changpu also asked Zheng Zhi. He said that the contraceptives that women take, no matter how mild the medicine is, are harmful to the body. Jiang Tingxia's hands and feet have been cold recently, which is probably related to this medicine.

She really doesn't care about her life.

Li Changpu felt annoyed. If she didn't like it, she could just not let him get close to her. When did he ever force her? It was definitely better than taking this crappy medicine secretly.

Jiang Tingxia was sleeping with her back resting on Li Changpu's chest. She was lying on her side, one hand tightly clutching Li Changpu's shirt, her pretty eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was very uneasy.

She had just cried, and Li Changpu asked her to go to bed and rest. Jiang Tingxia wanted to hug Li Changpu and kiss him. She wanted to beg for his forgiveness with her actions.

She shouldn't have secretly used contraception without telling him. Maybe if they had a child, he wouldn't blame himself.

But Li Changpu was very resistant to this. When Jiang Tingxia tried to untie his belt, he grabbed her hand. He didn't respond to her at all, and his voice was indifferent, "Go to sleep."

Li Changpu closed his eyes and ignored her.

He slept with his clothes on, with all buttons fastened tightly.

They were sleeping in each other's arms, but he was so cold to her that Jiang Tingxia couldn't sleep well at all.

In the middle of the night, the phone in the living room rang suddenly. The rapid ringing made people feel very uncomfortable.

Jiang Tingxia opened his eyes immediately, but Li Changpu reacted faster and walked out the door to answer the phone.

There was a sound coming from the living room.

"I see."

"I'll be there soon."

Jiang Tingxia got out of bed and ran to the living room, and saw Li Changpu walking out the door.

She hurried a few steps, "Where are you going?"

Time was urgent. Li Changpu looked serious and spoke as concisely as possible. "It's an urgent task. I have to go out for a while."

This was not his first emergency mission, but it happened that they had a quarrel and had not yet reconciled. Jiang Tingxia watched Li Changpu put on his shoes and tied his belt in fear, and the reluctance in his heart was even greater than before.

Just as he reached for the doorknob, Jiang Tingxia ran over and hugged Li Changpu from behind.

Li Changpu kept looking at the watch on his wrist, with an anxious look on his face. He turned around, supported Jiang Tingxia's back with his big hand, bent down and kissed her forehead, then turned and walked out.

He hurriedly said, "I'm leaving now, you go back to sleep."

Jiang Tingxia felt a blank feeling on his forehead and opened his eyes. He only heard these words and his hurried footsteps.

Only the fluttering corners of green clothes were left by the door, and with a bang, the door was closed.

Jiang Tingxia felt that the room had fallen into deathly silence.

She looked down and saw her bare feet touching the floor, feeling the coldness penetrate her bones.

……

After Li Changpu left that night, he didn't return home for many days. Jiang Tingxia couldn't muster the energy to do anything. He even put off his work at the art troupe. He stayed at home all day, waiting for Li Changpu to come home, and he quickly lost weight.

The phone suddenly rang. Jiang Tingxia, who was curled up on the sofa, brightened up his eyes and quickly picked up the phone.

"Li..."

There was a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, "Tingxia, help!"

It wasn’t Li Changpu. Jiang Tingxia bent his waist and felt visibly disappointed.

Her pale lips moved, but no sound came out. "Mom."

She could tell the person on the other end of the phone was Li Xiu.

Jiang Tingxia wanted to ask Li Xiu how she got her family's contact information, but the other end of the line was in chaos. Someone grabbed the phone and shouted, "Sister, I'm your brother, please save me!"

……

Something happened to the Jiang family.

The flour mill founded by Jiang Xiu De, the old man of the Jiang family, was called Jiang Family Flour Mill. Later, old man Jiang retired from the company and the flour mill was renamed Wenhai City Flour Mill. The mill was no longer owned by the Jiang family, but as a member of the Jiang family, Jiang Hai received a fixed dividend every year and was also the manager of the second department of the flour mill.

Jiang Hai took advantage of his position to grind sprouted wheat into flour, mixed it with normal flour and sold it to make a profit.

The product quality has been unstable this year. People have died after eating the flour handled by Jiang Hai. The police station has launched an investigation after receiving a report.

Jiang Hai knew that it was his fault, and he was in constant fear, fearing that one day what he had done would be discovered. The crime would be a serious one, and if discovered he would be sentenced to death.

People died from the poisonous flour, and Jiang Hai was about to be held responsible. The Jiang family was thrown into chaos. After Grandpa Jiang passed away, the status of the Jiang family had already plummeted, and they no longer had any strong connections in Wenhai, so there was no way they could help Jiang Hai get rid of the crime.

Jiang Hai suddenly thought of Jiang Tingxia. The officer she married is now the most capable person in the family. The last time the couple came to Wenhai, Jiang Hai remembered that his brother-in-law was an old acquaintance of the police chief Song Ping, so he found Jiang Tingxia and hoped that she could help.

How could Jiang Tingxia agree? She was also afraid that Jiang Hai and the others would use Li Changpu's name to smooth things over and discredit him, so she simply bought the nearest train ticket and hurried to Wenhai.

Li Changpu risked his life for the honor and military exploits he gained, but his promotion was repeatedly blocked. Jiang Tingxia felt very sorry for it, and she would never let these things affect him again.

……

When something happened to the Jia family, Jiang Tinghe quickly divorced Jia Ruiwen and returned to the Jiang family. However, not long after she returned to her parents' home, the Jiang family also became precarious. She cried her eyes out.

She had been living outside since she was a child, and had only returned to the Jiang family for a few years. Before she could enjoy the good days, the Jiang family fell into decline. How could she be so unlucky?

Jiang Tingxia rushed back to the Jiang family. Jiang Hai had been worried about the poisonous flour during this period. His hair was messy like a bird's nest, his clothes were wrinkled, and he hadn't changed them for several days. They smelled sour and smelled bad, and he looked completely decadent. When he saw Jiang Tingxia, he only regarded her as his last savior. Jiang Hai almost knelt down to Jiang Tingxia and begged her to save him.

"Sister, where is your brother-in-law? Didn't he come back with you?"

Jiang Hai pleaded, "Sister, you must ask your brother-in-law to help me. He is the head of the regiment in the army and knows a lot of people. Ask him to help me find some connections and ask for mercy. Otherwise, I will die."

Jiang Tinghe and Li Xiu no longer had the arrogance they had when Jiang Tingxia came back to Wenhai last time. Li Xiu looked at Jiang Tingxia eagerly with a pleading look on her face, while Jiang Tinghe lowered his head and stared at the tip of his shoes without saying a word.

Jiang Tingxia got straight to the point, "You killed someone."

"This is a matter of life and death. I can't help you."

Jiang Hai and Li Xiu both stood there in a daze.

Jiang Tingxia took a deep breath and looked at everyone, "I came to Wenhai to sever ties with you."
