Just as Ding Wenzhu opened up and was preparing to have a good chat with Cheng Yan in order to get closer to him, Cheng Yan raised his face and looked at Ding Wenzhu with an inscrutable expression.

He coldly addressed Ding Wenzhu, "Aunt Ding, I'm not used to eating with strangers."

Cheng Yan's words startled Ding Wenzhu, leaving her looking embarrassed.

Cheng Yan called her "Auntie" but described her as a stranger, which was a clear insult to her dignity.

"Ayan..."

Ding Wenzhu was at a loss. She never expected that Cheng Yan would not only disregard her but also his aunt Luo Ye.

"Don't call me that so affectionately... just call me President Cheng."

"If you want to talk business with me, come to my office."

"Aunt Ding, please make yourself at home."

Cheng Yan gave Ding Wenzhu the order to leave, which made Ding Wenzhu's expression even more complicated.

She raised her head and looked at Jian He sitting next to Cheng Yan with hostility. In her opinion, Cheng Yan must have driven her away without any mercy because of Jian He.

This damn woman, dragging around a child, how can she still have such charm?

If Cheng Yan hadn't been there, she would have definitely used her fighting skills to give Jian He a good beating, so that she would know what kind of man a woman like her with a child shouldn't get involved with.

Under Cheng Yan's watchful gaze, Ding Wenzhu left sheepishly.

At this moment, Ding Wenzhu made a decision. It seemed that she needed to support Yin Muqiao and help him make a comeback. Only in this way could he have the capital to control Jian He again.

Ding Qing, who was originally about to come over, stopped in her tracks in fear when she saw her mother being driven away.

As a new secretary at Cheng Yan's law firm, she dared not act presumptuously in front of Cheng Yan.

After Ding Wenzhu left, Cheng Yan started talking to Jian He and Rui Bao.

"She didn't give you any trouble just now, did she?" Cheng Yan asked Jian He with concern.

Jian He shook her head: "No, besides, I will fight back. If anyone makes things difficult for me, I will make things difficult for them back."

Jian He's words brought a smile to Cheng Yan's face. If the Jian He of the past would have retaliated, the Jian He of today would definitely be able to protect herself.

"That's right, Mom said it, and Dad Cheng said it too. If a dog bites us, we should grab a stick and beat it back hard."

"Dad Cheng, I splashed water all over that grandma just now, wasn't I great?"

Rui Bao practically brought his little face close to Cheng Yan's, and the way he spoke to Cheng Yan was especially affectionate.

Cheng Yan casually scooped Rui Bao into his arms, poked Rui Bao's little nose with his long, slender fingers, and praised, "Rui Bao is the best! Rui Bao has grown up and can protect Mommy now..."

Cheng Yan's praise made Rui Bao giggle.

After dinner, Cheng Yan drove Jian He and Rui Bao home. On the way, Cheng Yan said to Jian He, "Jian He, I may have to go to Beijing for a while. You and Rui Bao are in Nanluo City, so take good care of yourselves."

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can ask Gao Xiang for help."

"Also, you should keep in touch with Cheng Xue more often. If there's anything you need to do, just have her run errands for you."

Cheng Yan's arrangements for Jian He were very meticulous.

Jian He smiled and declined, "You can go ahead and do your thing. I can take care of myself and Ruibao. Xiaoxue is so busy with work, I don't want to bother her."

"Besides, I might have to go to the capital soon."

Cheng Yan was surprised to hear Jian He say that she was also going to the capital.

He asked, "Did you go to the capital for company business?"

Jian He shook her head and replied, "Not entirely. The main reason is because of my father's condition. The doctor in Nanluo City said that the medical conditions in Beijing are better, which will be better for my father's future recovery."

"Furthermore, I want to shift the focus of the Jian Group's work to Beijing, since Beijing is a large city and there will be better opportunities for development."

Hearing Jian He's words, Cheng Yan nodded involuntarily.

He said, "This arrangement is good... I also really hope that you and Ruibao can go to the capital."

In order to be with Jian He, Cheng Yan promised his father that he would develop his career in Beijing. Originally, he didn't know how to explain this to Jian He. Now that Jian He herself also wants to develop her career in Beijing, he won't have to suffer the pain of being separated from her anymore.

The adults' conversation made little Ruibao wary.

He tugged at Jian He's sleeve with some concern and asked, "Mom, are you taking me with you when you go to the capital?"

Rui Bao's question left Jian He both amused and exasperated.

She reached out and stroked Ruibao's head affectionately, saying, "Ruibao, what are you thinking about? How could Mommy go to the capital without you?"

Ruibao let out a long sigh of relief.

"Mom, I don't want to be separated from you..."

Jian He felt very sad when Rui Bao suddenly became dependent on her without feeling safe.

She assured Ruibao once again, "Ruibao, don't worry, Mommy will never be separated from you."

"Wherever Mom goes, Mom will take you with her."

Cheng Yan had been driving the whole time, and Jian He's words touched him.

He echoed, "Yes, Ruibao, don't worry, Dad Cheng will always be with you."

The following day, Cheng Yan took a chartered plane and left Nanluo City.

Meanwhile, Jian He was also busy arranging for the Jian Group's expansion into Beijing.

She's been so busy these past few days that she hasn't been able to take care of Ruibao and Jian Qingshan.

Fortunately, Zhou Yun, the maid arranged by Cheng Yan, was very capable. She took great care of Rui Bao and didn't let Jian He worry about anything.

Jian Qingshan is recovering well. Although he still has some difficulty moving around, he can take care of himself.

At night, Jian He didn't get home until very late from work. As soon as she parked her car, a figure suddenly pounced on her and knelt down in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, please, sister-in-law, save us!"

Jian He looked down and discovered that the person hugging her leg was actually Yin Muqiao's younger sister, Yin Muyan.

They hadn't been in contact for several months, and Jian He had no idea where Yin Muyan had gotten her address. This family surnamed Yin really was like a persistent ghost.

"Yin Muyan, your brother and I are divorced. You don't need to call me sister-in-law anymore."

“I have nothing to do with your family anymore. Get out of my way. If you keep doing this, I will call the police immediately.”

Jian He felt no goodwill towards the Yin family, who had caused her and Rui Bao's deaths in her previous life. She clearly remembered what role Yin Muyan played at Yin Muqiao and Wu Hua's engagement ceremony in her previous life.
