Upon hearing Tu Qing's call, Cheng Yan raised his face, and in an instant, Tu Qing was somewhat delighted.

But when she saw Jian He standing right next to Cheng Yan, her face darkened.

"Brother Yan, why is she here?" Tu Qing's words were full of disdain for Jian He.

Cheng Yan said to Tu Qing, "If you can come here, she can come here too. Does this mean that the capital city is already under the control of your Tu family?"

Cheng Yan's words made Tu Qing feel very wronged. She wanted to argue with Cheng Yan, but Young Master Zhu pulled her aside first.

Young Master Zhu quietly recounted the entire story of what had just happened to Tu Qing, whose expression became somewhat tense.

After Young Master Zhu finished speaking, Tu Qing said to him unhappily, "Useless, you can't do anything right."

Young Master Zhu shut his mouth. He wanted to handle the matter well, but faced with Cheng Yan's strong and powerful suppression, he dared not act rashly.

In order to extricate herself from the situation and maintain her image in Cheng Yan's mind, Tu Qing changed her expression and explained to Cheng Yan.

“Brother Yan, Zhu Cheng has already told me what happened. I assure you, I didn’t do anything to make things difficult for Jian He.”

“I’ve been following you around the whole time, and I really didn’t know that Zhu Cheng was bullying Jian He. Brother Yan, you know I don’t like her, but I also have my bottom line. I would never stoop to such tactics to hurt her.”

Tu Qing's explanation made Jian He let out a cold laugh.

She disdains to harm herself in such a way.

Back when she lived in that small, old two-bedroom apartment, how did she end up giving herself to Kuroko?

Fortunately, she had told Cheng Yan everything beforehand; otherwise, Cheng Yan might have actually believed Tu Qing's lies.

Cheng Yan glanced coldly at Tu Qing and said, "You know what you've done."

“I just warned these people that Jian He is my woman, the woman I am about to marry. If anyone dares to make things difficult for her again, don’t blame me, Cheng Yan, for disregarding our childhood friendship.”

Cheng Yan's words startled Tu Qing so much that she trembled involuntarily.

Cheng Yan is going to marry Jian He? If that's the case, does that mean I have absolutely no chance?

A hint of hostility towards Jian He surfaced in Tu Qing's eyes.

After saying that, Cheng Yan pulled Jian He away, but when they reached the door, he seemed to remember something else.

He turned around and threw out another sentence at Tu Qing.

He said, "You're the same..."

Cheng Yan stared directly at Tu Qing, and at this moment, Tu Qing could not see any affection in Cheng Yan's eyes.

Tu Qing felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if a pair of hands were tearing her heart apart piece by piece.

Cheng Yan led Jian He out of the private room, and the second-generation rich kids surrounded Zhu Cheng and Tu Qing, chattering amongst themselves, which infuriated Tu Qing.

"Sister Tu Qing, what's wrong with Brother Yan? Why does he insist on marrying a woman like this? You're the woman who would give her life for him, so why can't he marry you?"

"That damned woman must have bewitched Brother Yan, otherwise he wouldn't be so infatuated with her."

"Exactly, didn't you see how fierce Brother Yan was when he beat up Zhu Cheng? It was terrifying. This woman has Brother Yan completely under her thumb."

"If that's the case, is there still a chance for Sister Tu Qing and Brother A Yan?"

……

The discussions among the people left Tu Qing feeling completely uncertain.

She tried to calm herself down, but the intense jealousy made it impossible for her to control her emotions.

Just then, Tu Qing suddenly said something like this.

She said, "If Cheng Yan wants to marry her, this woman named Jian He will have to disappear from his life..."

Everyone present tensed up when they heard Tu Qing's words: "Make Jian He disappear."

But how can such a living person just disappear like that?

A smile appeared on Tu Qing's lips. She clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles turned white. An exciting plan flooded into her mind.

Yes, make Jian He disappear.

If she dares to steal my man, she has to disappear.

Cheng Yan took Jian He and left the hotel's private room, then drove away.

Jian He looked out the car window at the neon lights lining the streets of Beijing.

Cheng Yan asked her cautiously, "You're not feeling well right now. Why don't you come back to my house with me first?"

Without even thinking, Jian He refused, saying, "Let's forget it. I haven't been home for several days. I want to go back and see my dad and Ruibao."

Although Cheng Yan was reluctant to part with Jian He, he still took her home as she requested.

Both of them were lost in thought and remained silent the whole way, a rare silence they had shared since they started dating.

A dozen minutes later, Cheng Yan's car stopped at the gate of the Jian family's house. Jian He got out of the car, waved to Cheng Yan, and turned to go back to her own yard.

Cheng Yan sat in the car, watching Jian He's disappearing figure, his expression complex.

Upstairs, Mason was reporting to Jian Qingshan. When Jian Qingshan saw Jian He getting out of Cheng Yan's car looking dejected, he turned to look at Mason.

He asked, "Old Mai, what's wrong with Jian He? Did she have a fight with Cheng Yan? She doesn't look well."

After glancing out the window, Mason comforted Jian Qingshan, saying, "President Jian, you're overthinking it. President Cheng likes Miss so much, how could he possibly argue with her?"

"Young people, when they're dating, are bound to say the wrong thing. Let them handle these things themselves."

Mason's words made a lot of sense, and Jian Qingshan nodded without saying anything more.

Rui Bao, who hadn't seen Jian He for several days, rushed downstairs as soon as he learned that Jian He had returned home, and his small body immediately threw himself into Jian He's arms.

Then, the childish, babyish calls almost made Jian He dizzy.

"Mom...you're back, you're finally back...I missed you so much."

"Didn't Dad Cheng call? He said he'd come back with you, Mom? Where's Dad Cheng?"

Rui Bao looked around, trying to find Cheng Yan. His actions made Jian He feel a bittersweet feeling in her heart.

She half-squatted on the ground, hugged Ruibao's body, and whispered to Ruibao.

"Ruibao really likes Daddy Cheng, doesn't he?"

Ruibao nodded emphatically.

Jian He then asked, "Does Rui Bao want his mother to marry Cheng's father?"
