My ex-husband got engaged, I was reborn, and the young master of Beijing's elite circle went cr

Luo Ye's words left Jian He with a somewhat ambiguous expression.

She wasn't sure if she had taken a liking to Cheng Yan; she had simply agreed to give him a chance to get to know her.

Faced with Luo Ye's aggressive questioning, she didn't know how to respond.

Seeing that Jian He didn't speak, Luo Ye assumed that she had tacitly agreed.

She gave Jian He a disdainful look and then began to speak again.

"Just because you've taken a liking to Cheng Yan doesn't mean you can be with him. As Cheng Yan's aunt, I can tell you definitively that Cheng Yan will not marry a divorced woman with a child."

"The Cheng family and the Jian family have some connections. If you value this connection, Jian Niu, you'd better stay away from Cheng Yan."

"Of course, if you young people just want to have some fun, that's fine, but if you want anything else, that's not allowed. I've already arranged a marriage partner for Ayan, and I hope you can be aware of your limitations."

After Luo Ye finished speaking, he gave Jian He a meaningful look. Although the two of them had not yet fallen out, the undercurrents were so strong that their relationship was destined to be anything but friendly.

Luo Ye's warning made Jian He slightly angry.

She could tell from Luo Ye's disparaging remarks about her.

However, faced with such belittling, the now completely transformed Jian He would absolutely not accept it passively.

She stood up and said to Luo Ye, "Aunt Luo, I know my own limitations, but I also hope you do. Do you think you can control Cheng Yan's life?"

Upon hearing Jian He's words, Luo Ye's face turned ashen.

Cheng Yan is her nephew, and he has shown her all sorts of respect, but so what? Cheng Yan is not the kind of man that anyone can easily win over.

Luo Ye was humiliated and looked extremely upset.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Cheng Yan pushed open the door and entered. When he saw Luo Ye and Jian He together, Cheng Yan frowned slightly.

Upon seeing Cheng Yan, Luo Ye felt a little flustered.

She quickly explained to Cheng Yan, "Yan, what brings you here? I've come to Nanluo City to have dinner with Jian Niu..."

Cheng Yan didn't quite believe Luo Ye's explanation, having already witnessed how Luo Ye had made things difficult for Jian He.

So, he walked past Luo Ye and came to Jian He's side. After putting his arm around Jian He's shoulder, he slowly said, "Auntie, isn't the food in Yangcheng good? Why did you insist on coming to Nanluo City to eat?"

"Ayan?"

Luo Ye panicked in the face of Cheng Yan's sarcasm.

"Alright, we've finished eating. I'll take Jian He and leave now."

"Auntie, please do as you please."

Without glancing at Luo Ye again, Cheng Yan put his arm around Jian He's shoulder and left the restaurant's private room.

Watching Cheng Yan and Jian He leave, Luo Ye was so angry that her hands trembled. She couldn't believe that her beloved nephew would take his anger out on her because of a divorced woman with a child.

Has his heart grown cold?

Did Jian He seduce him?

No, as her aunt, she absolutely could not allow Jian He, a woman who had been married before, to disrupt her nephew's life.

Luo Ye secretly clenched her fist.

After Cheng Yan and Jian He left, she took out her phone and dialed Ding Qing's number.

"Xiao Qing, this is Aunt Luo. How are things on your end?"

Ding Qing replied to Luo Ye: "Aunt Luo, everything went very smoothly for me. I have already submitted my resume to Brother Ayan's law firm. Because you gave me advance notice, everything went very well."

"The HR department said that if nothing unexpected happens, I can become Brother Ayan's secretary in a week."

Hearing that Ding Qing's side of things were going smoothly, a smile finally appeared on Luo Ye's dejected face.

She whispered to Ding Qing, "Xiao Qing, A Yan is very wary. When you approach him, you must be careful not to offend him."

Ding Qing replied, "Don't worry, Aunt Luo. My mother has already told me that if there is any progress on my end, I will definitely let you know as soon as possible."

"Okay, sweetie. Auntie is waiting for your good news."

……

Cheng Yan didn't bring a driver today; he drove himself. He was originally meeting with a group of people from Beijing, but as soon as he learned that Luo Ye had arranged to meet Jian He, he snatched the car keys from Gao Xiang and rushed over.

The moment he pushed open the restaurant door and saw the slight anger on Jian He's face, he knew he was late.

His aunt Luo Ye must have said something nasty to Jian He.

As he drove, he observed Jian He's expression with an inscrutable look.

After a long silence, he finally said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy all morning and didn't know my aunt had asked you to meet her."

"If my aunt said anything unpleasant, please don't take it to heart. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Cheng Yan spoke cautiously, and it was easy to tell from his expression that he was afraid Jian He would get angry.

After all, he had waited so many years for the opportunity to spend time with Jian He.

Jian He forced a smile and, to avoid worrying Cheng Yan, said, "It's okay, Aunt Luo didn't say anything... Don't overthink it."

Hearing Jian He say this, Cheng Yan finally felt relieved.

He tentatively spoke to Jian He: "My aunt is not a bad person. She thinks that everything she does is for my own good. In fact, I am unwilling to accept some of the good things she does."

"Because she always uses the excuse of being nice to me to influence my life."

"If you don't like her, you don't have to see her. I will also try my best to avoid letting her see you."

Cheng Yan felt that his relationship with Jian He had just begun to progress, and he didn't want to let unimportant people disturb them.

Jian He smiled at him, and as the car passed through the bustling city center, her eyes involuntarily drifted out the window.

In the crowd, Jian He suddenly saw that the tall Yin Muqiao seemed to be handing out a stack of flyers to passersby.

The flyers were scattered all over the ground by passersby, and the city management officer in charge whistled and ran in the direction of Yin Muqiao.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Jian He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

She spoke quietly, towards Yin Muqiao's direction, saying, "That's right..."

……

In Wu Hua's small apartment, another chaotic scene of shouting and cursing erupted.

Huang Chunhua pointed at Wu Hua and launched into a tirade of abuse.

"You little bitch, you seduced my son, got him divorced, and left our family homeless. You want to kick us out of your house? No way."

"Even if we're going to be lazy, we'll be lazy to you forever!"
