After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

"That's belated..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xintong deliberately interrupted Yan Niannian's heartless words.

"Alright, Niannian, why are you saying so much? We're all hungry."

“Yes!” He Xue chimed in, “We’re really looking forward to President Zhuo cooking himself, and we can’t wait to try it.”

"Okay! I'll go get it right away."

Zhuo Yuchen glanced at the two women gratefully.

After nodding, he turned and walked out of the dormitory.

Yan Niannian's lips twitched; she was utterly speechless.

She propped her head up with one hand, and with the other, she tapped the table lightly, intermittently.

Yan Niannian stared at her two best friends, raising an eyebrow, "Tell me, what do you mean?"

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally see that the two of them were protecting Zhuo Yuchen.

"Um... Niannian, are you really not going to give Zhuo Yuchen another chance?" After exchanging a glance, Zhang Xintong moved over and sat to Yan Niannian's left.

As she spoke, she playfully poked Yan Niannian's arm twice.

Yan Niannian didn't say anything.

Seeing this, He Xue rolled her eyes and then sat down to Yan Niannian's right.

She and Zhang Xintong chimed in, "Yes, Niannian, you should think about it!"

"We're all human, everyone makes mistakes."

"Most importantly, it's about the attitude after making a mistake. Look at Zhuo Yuchen's reaction now, he looks like a little lapdog."

"How precious!"

"He does care about you, and he truly knows he was wrong."

“A lapdog? Haha…” Upon hearing He Xue’s description, Zhang Xintong burst out laughing.

Without any scruples.

She gave He Xue a thumbs up and said in a cheerful voice, "Awesome, Sister Xue!"

He Xue chuckled, craning her neck to get closer to Yan Niannian, "Right! Did I describe it very well?"

"Not bad, not bad at all. Who would have thought that the dignified CEO Zhuo would be so obedient in front of our Niannian? Isn't it funny!"

The stark contrast led the two women to make fun of Zhuo Yuchen without any restraint.

Who would have thought that Zhuo Yuchen had such a side to him?

"Hey! Tongtong, what do you think would happen if Niannian agreed to reconcile with Zhuo Yuchen?"

"Needless to say, they'd be overjoyed, wishing they could bring all the world's treasures to our Niannian."

"Haha, I want to be a bridesmaid then."

"I also want!"

"Great! When the time comes, we'll definitely squeeze a hefty sum out of Zhuo Yuchen."

"It's a done deal!"

The two women spoke with great enthusiasm and were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

"Uh……"

At this moment, Yan Niannian, who was caught in the middle and ignored, was speechless.

Her eyelids twitched violently.

really do.

He had only been gone for a few days when Zhang Xintong and He Xue were bribed by Zhuo Yuchen.

This is a joint effort to "sell" her.

Shaking her head helplessly, Yan Niannian didn't say a word, but just moved her body backward little by little.

Then, she pulled her leg out, stood up from behind, and walked straight out of the dormitory.

At first, Zhang Xintong and He Xue didn't notice, but after a lot of speculation, they realized that Yan Niannian was gone.

"Where's Niannian?" Zhang Xintong asked, puzzled.

"I don't know!" He Xue also looked confused.

"Uh……"

This is awkward.

They looked at each other, both feeling a bit amused and exasperated.

……

The Zhuo family.

Dong Yan waited and waited, and finally, she heard some news.

A car drove into the Zhuo family courtyard.

"That's great!" Dong Yan was overjoyed and quickly got up to greet him.

Ever since Zhuo Yuchen was bewitched by that little bitch Yan Niannian and went to that remote, godforsaken place alone, she has been unable to eat or sleep properly.

Every day felt like an eternity; not a single day was truly pleasant.

Now everything is alright, my son is finally back.

But who knows...

When Dong Yan happily greeted her at the door, she found only Yan Zimo there.

"Where's Yu Chen?" Dong Yan stopped and kept craning her neck to look behind Yan Ziming, her face full of doubt. "Why didn't he come back with you?"

Logically speaking, knowing that his mother was worried about him, the first thing Zhuo Yuchen should have done after leaving that awful place was to come back and let her know he was safe!

Yan Zimo looked dejected.

She appeared helpless, but secretly gritted her teeth and deliberately stirred up trouble, saying, "Because Miss Yan sprained her ankle, Brother Yuchen carried her out."

"Brother Yuchen first took her to the hospital, and then went with her to the orphanage."

After a pause, Yan Ziming added, "Auntie, please don't blame Miss Yan. She must have wanted to keep Brother Yuchen here so she could spend more time with him, that's why she did that."

She deliberately implied that Yan Niannian was faking illness in order to find ways to pester Zhuo Yuchen.

Sure enough, upon hearing her say that, Dong Yan's face immediately darkened.

"MoMo, you're just too kind-hearted. You don't understand the wickedness of people's hearts."

"Yan Niannian is a shameless bastard. She used the divorce as an excuse to act tough, and after going off the rails, she started trying to seduce Yu Chen in various ways."

"In the end, she just couldn't bear to part with the wealth and glory of our Zhuo family; she had no good intentions."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming quickly seized the opportunity to back down.

She feigned concern for Zhuo Yuchen and said helplessly, "What should we do? Brother Yuchen is still with her. Will something happen to him?"

"No! I have to call Yu Chen back right away."

As she spoke, Dong Yan hurriedly took out her phone, intending to call Zhuo Yuchen.

But then she changed her mind and switched to a video call instead.

Because she wanted to see if Yan Niannian was up to some shameless scheme again.

……

At this moment, Zhuo Yuchen was busy in the orphanage's kitchen.

He rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, revealing a muscular forearm.

The hands with distinct knuckles are washing shrimp in a basin.

Before soaking, he even sprinkled some salt into the water and soaked it for ten minutes.

Then, I began to scrub carefully.

Just then, his phone rang.

Zhuo Yuchen didn't think much of it. After answering the call, he placed the phone next to him.

"Son!" Dong Yan's voice came through the phone impatiently as soon as the call connected, "Why aren't you home?"

Do you know how worried your mother has been about you these past few days?

"I can't eat well, and I can't sleep well."

"Mom just wants you to get out of that mountain safely. Come home now and talk to Mom, okay?"

Dong Yan looked like a loving mother.

Zhuo Yuchen glanced at it indifferently, then said, "I have something very important to do now, so I'll go back tonight."

Very important thing?

Upon hearing this, Dong Yan was taken aback.

Knowing my son's personality, if he says something is very important, it must be something extremely important!

Yan Zimo also looked curious.

She couldn't help but lean closer and take a closer look with Dong Yan.
