A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Not to be outdone, Yu Qingcheng also downed her drink and left. As she departed, she said, "Jiang Yi, I'm determined to get Mrs. Chi's position."

Jiang Yi was surprised; she hadn't expected Yu Qingcheng to warn her so bluntly. "So what? I'll let you have it."

"You are not qualified to say that now."

"Then why did you tell me?" Jiang Yi ignored the disdainful look she gave him.

"Xiao Si, let's go." Lu Haotian and Liu Shiya came over. They had been chatting with people in the same industry for a while and found that Jiang Yi was standing aside. Fortunately, Jiang Yi just drank and ate quietly without showing anything.

"Okay." It was almost time, and Jiang Yi didn't want to see them, such a perfect match, anymore. She had spent the whole night just watching him. Yes, they had broken up. He had just said, "Xiao Yi, let's break up," just that one sentence, without any reason. He had dropped her off at her doorstep and then left. She stood there, silent, until Jiang Yang returned and took her home.

Jiang Yang had originally intended to stay with Jiang Yi, but he was repeatedly toasted and exchanged pleasantries with different people, so he had to wait until now. "Xiao Yi, let's go home." Jiang Yang took off his coat and draped it over Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi took Jiang Yang's arm, and Jiang Yang greeted a few people before leaving. Lü Haotian saw that Jiang Yang was with her, so he didn't follow.

As soon as they stepped outside, a waiter brought the car over, and they got in and drove off. Jiang Yi smiled and asked Jiang Yang, "Brother, are the Chi and Yu families also planning a marriage alliance?"

"What did Yu Qingcheng say to you?" Jiang Yang saw Yu Qingcheng talking to her, but she didn't know what they were talking about, so she was lost in thought.

“I shouldn’t have even dreamed of a future with Chi Ruiche, right?” Jiang Yi began to tell Jiang Yang her thoughts. “We broke up just last month. I told myself it wasn’t a big deal. I went to work at Sister Ya’s place every day to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t have time to think about it. I thought everything could go back to zero and that as long as I was busy enough, this would pass quickly.”

Jiang Yang deliberately slowed down his car, hoping that Jiang Yi would tell him everything and not keep it to herself. How could he not know her? She pretended to be strong and didn't tell anyone, not even the most basic wailing.

“A whole month has passed, and I thought I was over it, but why do I see him in the crowd at a glance?” Jiang Yiqiang held back her tears, deliberately turning her head to the window, and remained silent, staring blankly against the window.

For the first time, Jiang Yang felt an urge to punch Chi Ruiche. He didn't know how to comfort her; there was no way to persuade her about this. He could only hope that time would pass quickly and everything would fade away.

Jiang Yi stopped talking and the car was quiet. Jiang Yang turned his head and saw her tears, which filled her eyes silently.

Chi Ruiche watched Jiang Yi leave expressionlessly, but he didn't engage in any further socializing and went straight to the lounge. After Chi Ruiche left, Yu Qiucheng organized the others, and the banquet ended pleasantly, with an agreement to meet again next time.

Zheng Zihan followed Chi Ruiche into the lounge. He sat down on the sofa by himself, as if he were a different person who had been chatting and laughing just moments before.

"What's wrong? Did you drink too much? Do you want a cup of tea to sober up?" Zheng Zihan wasn't sure what was wrong with him. He had indeed drunk quite a bit throughout the party, so he guessed he was drunk.

"Miss Zheng, you've had a long night. I'll have Uncle Wang take you home," Chi Ruiche said politely.

"Just call me Zihan." Zheng Zihan didn't expect him to say that. This was the third time they had met today, and they had gotten along quite well. He always had a refined and elegant demeanor, but at this moment, Chi Ruiche made her feel cold.

Driver Uncle Wang also came in quickly. "Miss Zheng, over here."
