The dazzling sunlight of dawn penetrated the curtains, exuding a warm scent and gently falling on Qiu Xianfu's broad and solid body. The old man, who had entered his old age, sat alone and quietly in his wheelchair, calmly casting his eyes on the familiar neighborhood scenery outside the window.
His eyes are full of traces and contemplation of time, as if telling the ups and downs of a legend's life.
His hands are covered with deep wrinkles left by the years, and the rough palms seem to silently tell the glorious history of the leader who once held a vast business empire.
In the past, this powerful hand once controlled a business empire worth billions of yuan, however, fate was cruel and ruthless, and under the trial of a complaint, his huge wealth was ruthlessly divided, and now it is long gone.
Qiu Xianfu hung his hands weakly, and his eyes flashed with tears. He hated his overly rational and cautious decision-making back then, and he also felt endless remorse for the suspicion and hurt of his beloved wife Tian Li.
Deep down, he felt great pain and regret for his wife Tian Li choosing to leave him.
Life is like a thick book, and every time you turn its title page, it reveals a legendary past.
In that era of change, it is amazing that a child from an ordinary peasant family can climb to the top of a billionaire step by step with his own wisdom and courage.
Qiu Xianfu is such an extraordinary legend.
Qiu Xianfu was born in 1942 to a poor family. Despite this, his parents did their best to raise enough money for his tuition. Since childhood, Qiu Xianfu has shown extraordinary vitality and excellent leadership skills, and he is undoubtedly a "squad leader" among the children in the village.
No matter in any game or farce, you can always see his brave and fearless figure crawling in it.
After stepping into the hall, Qiu Xianfu's personality did not become docile because of the change of environment. Although he often struggled to concentrate in class, his studious qualities earned him respect.
Although his academic performance is not top-notch, his talent in sports is unparalleled, and he was finally admitted to the provincial sports school with a discerning eye.
After graduation, Qiu Xianfu was supposed to become a teacher and live a plain and comfortable life. However, fate laid the groundwork in the dark, and due to a moment of greed, he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison.
During that long and dark prison life, Qiu Xianfu reflected deeply and vowed to completely change his face after being released from prison.
Finally, after being released from prison, Qiu Xianfu started from the lowest small merchant and hawker, and successively set foot in many traditional industries such as clothing and building materials, and achieved great results repeatedly.
In 1988, Qiu Xianfu, who was over 40 years old, had already achieved a successful career and accumulated a personal wealth of several millions. He felt that he had entered a new phase in his life and longed to find a soulmate to spend the rest of his good years with.
The skillful hand of the goddess of fate leads them to meet, and a young girl breaks into his world - Tian Li. At that time, Tian Li had just stepped into Qiu Xianfu's company, and with her diligent and hard-working attitude and outstanding ability, she left a deep and good first impression on Qiu Xianfu.
What is even more striking is that Tian Li's beautiful face full of youth and her charming smile all exude the vitality of life and endless vitality.
In order to be able to get close to this girl who made his heart move, Qiu Xianfu showed unprecedented enthusiasm and patience. He frequently invited Tian Li to dinner, carefully observing her preferences, hoping to become the most suitable suitor for her.
At first, Tian Li was wary of Qiu Xianfu, who was more than 20 years older than herself. The huge age gap between the two makes it impossible for her to accept this relationship easily.
However, under Qiu Xianfu's unwavering pursuit, her inner defense line gradually collapsed.
Qiu Xianfu affectionately expressed to Tian Li that no matter what decision she made in the end, her position in the company would not be affected in any way.
More importantly, if Tian Li is willing to marry him, he will spend his whole life caring for her and loving her.
In the face of such a sincere emotional confession, coupled with Qiu Xianfu's meticulous romantic care, Tian Li was finally deeply moved. Looking at this man who was over half a hundred years old but still personable and cared for herself, her heart began to slowly fall.
So, in 1988, Qiu Xianfu held a grand wedding for his beloved Tian Li at the Jinjiang Hotel in Chengdu, and the two entered the palace of marriage since then.
Although there are many guests, when people see this "old husband and young wife", they all talk about it and comment on it.
However, life is always full of unknown variables, and it is these variables that make Qiu Xianfu and Tian Li's married life bumpy and tortuous.
Soon after marriage, Tian Li successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, and the family of three lived a happy life. However, shortly after the birth of his daughter, Qiu Xianfu began to doubt her identity.
This stems from his regretful experience of never being able to have children during his seven-year marriage to his ex-wife.
What made Qiu Xianfu even more uneasy was that as his daughter grew up, he found that she had almost completely inherited Tian Li's physical features, which was very different from his own appearance.
Looking back on the past years, Qiu Xianfu's original idea did seem both absurd and funny. However, in that era, he was blinded by a layer of fog and mistakenly thought that his wife Tian Li had betrayed him.
After a hangover, he began to baselessly suspect whether Tian Li had been unfaithful, and even openly insulted her human dignity.
Faced with such an unreasonable accusation by her husband, Tian Li's heart was full of anger, and she resolutely decided to take action, collected hair samples from both parties, and then went to the hospital for a paternity test! The results proved the paternity between them, however, this result did not make Tian Li's mood better.
She deeply felt that as a husband and wife, Qiu Xianfu did not give her the trust she deserved.
Once the foundation of trust collapses, the marriage cannot last. In the days that followed, the contradictions between Tian Li and Qiu Xianfu became more and more intense, and the quarrels continued. There was always a heavy atmosphere in the air, as if emitting a suffocating fog.
Married life has reached an impasse, which makes Tian Li feel that life has become extremely difficult. Looking back at their family environment, they are not as rich and decent as people think.
In fact, what they lived in was just a two-bedroom house in an old neighborhood, and the home was empty, full of Qiu Xianfu's collection of antique treasures.
As a wealthy couple, such a living environment is really shocking. To make matters worse, Qiu Xianfu has invested a lot of money in real estate development in recent years, which has led to a very difficult financial situation for his family.
As a wife, Tian Li had no idea about her husband's financial situation, which made her very confused. She understands Qiu Xianfu's original intention of being keen on career investment, but as the hostess of the family, she has no right to even ask for a little private money, which makes her feel extremely aggrieved.
Tian Li tried to discuss with Qiu Xianfu to divide the property in order to obtain her own share of the property, but she was once again treated with suspicion and indifference.
Qiu Xianfu's suspiciousness seems to have penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he regards his wife as the fuse of this divorce.
In such an environment, my daughter gradually grew up, chose to study abroad and eventually left home. Seeing that her children's lives were on the right track, Tian Li could no longer bear such suspicion and cold reception, so she chose to leave Qiu Xianfu temporarily and return to her parents' home to seek comfort.
However, unfortunately, in the 2020 trial, the court rejected her request, mainly because Ms. Tian Li could not provide strong evidence that their marriage could no longer be maintained, and that she should also take on the responsibility of caring for and supporting the aging Mr. Qiu Xianfu as an adult.
The verdict undoubtedly brought a sense of relief to Mr. Qiu Xianfu, who had thought that Ms. Tian Li might have been impulsive, after all, she had entered middle age and should choose to spend the rest of her life with him.
Therefore, Mr. Qiu Xianfu still insisted on paying Ms. Tian Li up to 20,000 yuan per month for living expenses.
However, unexpectedly, only half a year later, in January 2022, Ms. Tian Li filed a lawsuit again, resolutely demanding the dissolution of the marriage.
This time, after an in-depth investigation and rigorous analysis, the court finally concluded that the relationship between the two parties had indeed broken down and could no longer be repaired.
The verdict was as shocking as a bolt from the blue, as Ms. Tian Li finally obtained permission to divorce Mr. Qiu Xianfu and was able to share in his huge wealth of up to one billion yuan.
