Su Haoran hadn't seen the world outside the detention center he'd been in for the past several years. He had no idea what was happening outside as he was forced to live his life within the four corners of his cell every single day.
If it wasn't for that wretched Su Xiaofei ruining his plans, he wouldn't be wasting his time here. His Ye Xing had died after three years after he was put behind bars, and his ungrateful daughter Ye Mingyu had not shown herself for over a year now.
He had no idea that his own daughter was also being held in a police station for murdering someone. Unlike him, who was sentenced to a lifetime in jail, Ye Mingyu was facing the possibility of receiving capital punishment for her offense.
Su Haoran rolled on his side and tried to catch some sleep. Because of the incident and a riot that happened last night, he didn't manage to get any sleep and had been awake for the past forty-eight hours. He was unwilling to get along with his fellow inmates and was on bad terms with some of them.
He was born in a rural province up north and his parents were very poor farmers. Despite this, his parents hoped that he would be able to improve his quality of life by getting a decent education and getting a job in the highly urbanized cities of the country.
He studied hard and was able to secure a scholarship from a high ranking state university. Su Haoran took pride in the fact that he was able to get first place every year. Later on, once he graduated, he met the love of his life.
Ye Xing was a shop attendant at the nearby boutique in his neighborhood. The two of them fell madly in love with each other and decided to move in together. However, around that time, he met Yun Qingrong in the same company he was working for.
Compared to Ye Xing, Yun Qingrong had the elegance and temperament of a young miss, as expected from a wealthy family. Not only was Yun Qingrong pleasing to his eyes, she was also kind and easy to please. So it wasn't a wonder why Su Haoran became attracted to her the more time he spent with her. However, he couldn't easily let go of Ye Xing.
Su Haoran decided to pursue Yun Qingrong in order to climb the ladder faster with her help, while leaving Ye Xing oblivious of his affair. When Yun Qingrong's feelings for him deepened, it was only then he decided to break up with Ye Xing, not knowing that she was pregnant with his child. His greed to become related and part of the prestigious Yun family blinded him and he didn't look back.
However, who would have known that instead of living in leisure after marrying Yun Qingrong, Su Haoran was denied the acknowledgement he craved from his in-laws? He initially thought that the Yun family was looking down on him because of his simple background, not knowing that his wife's family could see past his pretense and was aware of his motive.
It didn't take long before Yun Qingrong started her own entertainment agency, Bluemedia. Everyone in his hometown thought that because he was the husband of the president of this agency, Su Haoran had become a big shot, but what they didn't know was that Yun Qingrong had never allowed him to hold a huge amount of money. She didn't trust him to manage their finances whether it was at Bluemedia or at home.
Sure, Yun Qingrong made sure he was never lacking when it comes to food, clothing and basic necessities, but she had never willingly given him money to spend on other things. This was why Su Haoran tried to get his hands on Bluemedia's projects, taking the chance to embezzle some of the company's funds and trying to go on as many business trips as he could without Yun Qingrong suspecting him.
Then, after over a year of being married to her and still childless, they both got themselves checked, only to find out that his wife had trouble conceiving. Su Haoran was livid. He thought that Yun Qingrong had deprived him of the things he deserved as her husband. She wouldn't give him money, now she couldn't even give him a child?
Their relationship then took a worse turn when Yun Qingrong came home with a baby girl she had came upon from an orphanage and insisted that they should adopt the girl and raise her as their own. Su Haoran was obviously against it, but seeing that Yun Qingrong decided to take the infant as her daughter, he conceded and allowed his wife to process the adoption.
The girl his wife adopted was quite a beauty even in her young age. However, because she was spoiled rotten by Yun Qingrong, the girl developed a haughty and arrogant personality growing up. Furthermore, this girl had never treated him with respect as her father and would only listen to Yun Qingrong.
Even the young boy who followed her around wouldn't even pay him a glance nor bother to greet him. He would only sit silently next to his adopted daughter, listening to whatever she was blabbering about.
A guard came to his cell and tapped the rails to get his attention.
"Su Haoran, you have a visitor." The man said with a huff.
Su Haoran immediately sat up and ran a hand over his face.
"Having such a beautiful daughter, she must be really unlucky to have a father like you."
The fury in Su Haoran's heart was ignited. What unlucky? The one who was unfortunate here was none other than him! That useless daughter of his couldn't even check whether he was still alive here in the detention center or not and only cared about herself!
However, the moment he saw the face of his visitor, his eyes narrowed in suspicion.
