They stayed at the Feng family's residence until the afternoon. The elderly couple, not feeling tired, refused to go to sleep.
Cheng You and Cheng Wenyu then took the initiative to propose leaving.
The elders reluctantly got up. They were so happy that they truly didn't want them to go.
Before they could even leave the house, they saw the nanny walk in.
"Old Madam, Battalion Commander Qiu is here."
Her face showed difficulty. She knew they didn't think highly of Cheng Tao.
The old lady's face showed disgust. "What does he want? Send him away!"
Cheng Tao no longer had any connection with the Feng family, so this Qiu Desheng had even less reason to be associated with them.
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, she saw Qiu Desheng enter.
"Grandma, I heard Cheng Tao upset you, so I specifically came to apologize to you."
This "Grandma" was something only Qiu Desheng could say with such flexibility.
At his age, he was almost as old as Feng Yaojun.
"Cheng Tao didn't upset me. It's enough for you to live your own lives from now on. There's no need to come here anymore."
Originally, they should have reported it to the public security bureau. However, Cheng Tao vehemently denied it, insisting she knew nothing.
The final outcome might have been Feng Yaojun being sent away, while Cheng Tao remained unharmed.
Therefore, Old Master Feng changed his mind. Teaching Feng Yaojun's family a lesson was simple; it wasn't necessary to send him to jail.
As for Cheng Tao, she thought she had married a good husband. Let her see if Qiu Desheng, who revealed his true colors without the backing of the Feng family, could provide her with a good life.
Qiu Desheng awkwardly put down the gifts. "Whatever wrong Cheng Tao has done, please bear with her. I'll talk to her when we get back."
The old lady sneered. "Didn't she tell you clearly? She's not our Feng family's granddaughter at all. She deceived us terribly and even dared to take the house we gave her! Fortunately, the paperwork wasn't completed, or we would have reported it to the police!"
Qiu Desheng was greatly shocked. "She's not the Feng family's granddaughter? Grandma, is there some misunderstanding?"
"There is no misunderstanding! We have found our biological granddaughter. We just need to wait for the identification report to be released, and then Cheng You's identity can be announced."
Qiu Desheng's eyes widened, and he looked at Cheng You in disbelief.
So, Cheng Tao was not only a fraud but had also impersonated Cheng You!
Qiu Desheng was furious. What was the point of him coming here today? It was purely to be humiliated!
"Since that is the case, I will not disturb you any further." Qiu Desheng turned around and walked out quickly.
He walked so fast and urgently that he couldn't wait to go back and question Cheng Tao.
The gifts he had brought for the Feng family elders were taken back exactly as they were and forcefully thrown at Cheng Tao.
Cheng Tao was stunned for a moment. They had just gotten married, and it was a time of intense affection. Qiu Desheng had never laid a hand on her before.
Qiu Desheng didn't care how shocked she was. He said sternly, "You know why I'm hitting you! I've lost face completely today!"
Not only did he try to please them and get a cold shoulder, but it turned out they didn't even take him seriously.
Cheng Tao didn't know why he was going crazy. Covering her face, she retorted fiercely, "What does my losing face have to do with you! They all said you hit your wife. I didn't believe it at first, but it hasn't been long, and you've already revealed your true colors!"
Cheng Tao was full of grievances. The promised one thousand yuan had not been given to her yet, and now he was hitting her. Qiu Desheng was simply a hypocrite!
Qiu Desheng looked at her coldly. "It has nothing to do with you? You're not the Feng family's granddaughter at all, you're just a fraud. Why didn't you tell me this before?"
It was like a bolt from the blue, striking directly at her.
Cheng Tao stared at him blankly. Although she knew it would be exposed sooner or later, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"I was also deceived. Feng Yaojun approached me and said my mother was from the Feng family, so I believed him. We got married because we liked each other. What does it have to do with whether I am from the Feng family?"
Cheng Tao felt that at just twenty-something years old, marrying him, a forty-year-old man, should have been a good match.
Even if she wasn't the Feng family's granddaughter, why would Qiu Desheng treat her like this?
However, in the next moment, Qiu Desheng shattered her illusions.
"If you weren't the Feng family's granddaughter, would I have fancied a woman like you who can't even have children?"
Cheng Tao was greatly disheartened. "But you already have a son!"
She didn't understand a man's obsession with procreation.
He could do without children, but she couldn't be unable to bear them. Qiu Desheng thought so.
Cheng Tao curled her lips. In the end, she had misjudged him. This man was worse than Zhao Yunlin!
"Since you dislike me, then let's get a divorce! I don't have to be with you! But you promised me a thousand yuan when we got married. You have to give it to me!"
Since she married Qiu Desheng, she hadn't seen his savings book, nor his allowance.
There wasn't a single wife who lived as miserably as she did.
Qiu Desheng looked at her with mockery, scrutinizing her from head to toe.
"With your trashy quality, how dare you demand a thousand yuan from me? Are you worthy?"
His insulting gaze pierced Cheng Tao's self-esteem.
She wasn't one to tolerate insults. She rushed forward and slapped him hard.
However, Qiu Desheng's skin was thick. Other than his head tilting slightly, there was no other reaction.
Cheng Tao sneered, "I'm not worthy? You, a forty-year-old man, your thing is useless. I'm more than worthy of you!"
Qiu Desheng's face darkened, his eyes fixed on her.
Cheng Tao sensed danger and instinctively wanted to run. But Qiu Desheng grabbed her, yanked her hair, and dragged her into the house.
Immediately after, Cheng Tao's piercing screams could be heard from inside.
The neighbors next door shook their heads.
They had heard before that Qiu Desheng beat his wife, but because he had no wife at home, no one knew.
It wasn't until today that they truly witnessed it.
After "disciplining" Cheng Tao, Qiu Desheng re-buckled his belt.
He looked down at Cheng Tao, his back against the light, like a demon from the abyss.
Cheng Tao murmured, "I want a divorce, I want a divorce from you!"
"Divorce! I'll divorce you! You get out of here today and see who in the entire Yancheng dares to want you, a hen that can't lay eggs!"
Cheng Tao covered her mouth and burst into tears. She wanted a divorce, but she didn't want to leave Yancheng!
She still had a daughter to raise. Where could she go with her child other than back to the countryside?
After venting his anger, Qiu Desheng uttered a sentence that further devastated Cheng Tao: "Compared to your sister, you're not even worth a fart! You probably never dreamed that she is the Feng family's biological granddaughter. If I were you, I'd maintain a good relationship with her, and then worry about not having money?"
Cheng You had married into the Qi family, who were powerful and wealthy. Arranging a place to live or a job for Cheng Tao would have been easy.
It was only Cheng Tao's foolishness that caused her to miss such a good opportunity, treating Cheng You as an enemy.
