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

"Yan Niannian..."

Watching her movements, Zhuo Yuchen felt a tightness in his chest.

At this moment, although he could maintain his composure on the surface, panic surged within him.

Zhuo Yuchen gritted his teeth and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Yan Niannian, if you continue like this, what will happen to the orphanage?"

"That's the principal's hard work!"

“If you’re gone, who will take care of those orphans?”

"If you just abandon the business like this, even if you go underground, you won't be able to explain it to the principal."

Yan Niannian's arms stiffened.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a wave of turmoil surged in her sorrowful eyes.

Those poor children...

It was both the principal's life's work and her deepest concern; she truly couldn't let it go.

Hesitating for a moment, Zhuo Yuchen seized the opportunity and rushed forward to pick Yan Niannian up in his arms.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Holding that cold body, Zhuo Yuchen was still shaken.

Due to the extreme emotional ups and downs, Yan Niannian's eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fainted in his arms.

After a moment of surprise, Zhuo Yuchen slowly raised his hand.

As he gently stroked Yan Niannian's back, his cool lips unconsciously brushed against her long hair, a complex expression flickering between his deep brows.

He... also regretted it.

I regret getting a divorce certificate with her.

Previously, Zhuo Yuchen did not want a divorce, simply because he was used to Yan Niannian's dedication and care in life and did not want to change.

But after experiencing so much, Zhuo Yuchen finally realized it.

In fact, without realizing it, Yan Niannian had already entered his heart.

Zhuo Yuchen picked up Yan Niannian, turned around, and left quickly without looking back.

……

Jin Sheng Dim Sum Restaurant.

Inside the private room, a small gathering of more than a dozen socialites and wealthy women was taking place.

The organizer made the reservation three and a half months ago, and we've been waiting to get together today.

To build relationships and exchange resources.

They also compete to outshine each other, showing off to satisfy their vanity.

Dong Yan was also there.

After taking a bite of the delicate peach blossom pastry on the plate, she drank a sip of the special flower tea from Jinsheng Pastry Shop and comfortably squinted her eyes.

Get what you want.

I finally got to eat it.

At this moment, a wealthy woman of similar age, her eyes darting around calculatingly, approached Dong Yan.

"Mrs. Dong, I heard your son has gotten divorced?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else perked up their ears.

He smiled calmly and listened carefully to what was happening on the other side.

Zhuo Yuchen was a top figure in their circle, the dream lover of those socialites.

Even after he got married, countless women still tried every means to throw themselves at him.

Unfortunately……

Zhuo Yuchen remained unmoved.

He was even like a cold-blooded, living devil, completely lacking in tenderness and compassion.

Women who use excessive methods, go too far, or try to get close to him never have a good ending.

People die for wealth, just as birds die for food.

Now that Zhuo Yuchen is divorced, these people's thoughts have suddenly become active again.

If she could marry Zhuo Yuchen, it would be a powerful alliance that would elevate her family to a higher level.

“Yes! This marriage should have ended long ago.” Dong Yan leaned back. “What is Yan Niannian? She’s just an orphan. How could she be worthy of my son?”

“Exactly, exactly,” the wealthy woman quickly chimed in. “It’s just a sparrow, how could it possibly fly up to a branch and become a phoenix?”

"Being able to marry into the Zhuo family for a few years is already a blessing for her eight lifetimes."

She should be content!

After a pause, the noblewoman changed the subject, "Madam Dong, you'd better choose your daughter-in-law carefully this time."

"of course!"

"By the way, I have a niece, 22 years old, from a good family, and very beautiful. She and your son are quite a good match. I'll bring her over for you to see sometime."

The wealthy woman, her face beaming with eagerness, couldn't wait to promote her niece.

Dong Yan maintained her composure, giving her a dismissive glance without saying a word.

But the others got anxious and rushed over.

"Come on! Stop praising your own wares. I've seen your niece, and she's not exactly pretty!" Someone sneered disdainfully, their voice filled with hostility.

"Exactly! My second daughter is truly outstanding, Mrs. Dong! How about I personally bring her to visit you tomorrow?"

"And my niece..."

"And my daughter, she's beautiful and capable too."

Surrounded by enthusiastic crowds, Dong Yan thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.

I feel at ease.

This is what Xu Fei saw when she came in.

She stood frozen in place, her fists clenched tightly.

She had hoped to use this opportunity to ease the tension between her and Dong Yan.

Unexpectedly, I witnessed such a scene.

damn it!

Zhuo Yuchen is hers, and no one can take him from her.

After regaining her composure, Xu Fei walked in slowly with a faint smile on her face, and sweetly called out, "Aunt Dong!"

She stopped speaking and everyone looked at her.

"Hmm!" Dong Yan nodded calmly.

His attitude was neither warm nor cold.

She used to like her very much and even wanted her to replace Yan Niannian as her daughter-in-law.

but……

Everything changed when Xu Fei harbored unwarranted ambitions and tried to replace her even before entering the family.

An embarrassed look appeared on Xu Fei's face.

But she could endure it, so she quickly regained her composure.

"Aunt Dong, the luxury clothing flagship store has just received a new batch of clothes. There are two pieces that perfectly suit your style. When do you have time, I'd like to go with you to take a look!"

Sitting next to Dong Yan, she deliberately tried to create the illusion that she and Dong Yan had a very close relationship.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Dong Yan picked up the flower tea and took a small sip.

In front of others, she still showed some consideration and didn't reveal too much of her disgust and indifference towards Xu Fei.

Among these people were women of marriageable age whose families did not have suitable daughters for marriage, so they did not get a chance to speak when the sales pitch was first launched and could only watch others longingly.

But deep down, I didn't want to give this opportunity to someone else.

Now that he's seen Xu Fei, it's hard not to feel a stirring in his heart.

This is just great!

Finally, I had a chance to speak.

"You guys shouldn't waste your energy. Everyone knows that Miss Xu and Mr. Zhuo have a special relationship. They've even been photographed going out together."

"Mr. Zhuo values ​​Miss Xu very much."

"It seems the Zhuo family already has a suitable candidate for the new Mrs. Zhuo." The man smiled, glancing at Xu Fei with an ambiguous look. "Miss Xu, don't you think so?"

Xu Fei blushed.

She looked shy, tucked her long hair behind her ear, lowered her head, and pursed her lips without saying a word.

She deliberately wanted others to misunderstand and crush their hopes of marrying into her social circle.

But who knows...

Just as Xu Fei was feeling smug, Dong Yan suddenly spoke to the man in a cold tone, "You guessed wrong, the new Mrs. Zhuo will definitely not be Miss Xu."

“Otherwise, since she knew my son first, if my son really had those intentions, how could he have let Yan Niannian take advantage of the situation in the first place?”
