After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Yang Xiaoyu slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily, "That kid clearly said there was 200,000! How come it's less now? Are you kidding me?"

"Two hundred thousand?" Jiang Yanqing was genuinely shocked. She looked sharply at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, you paid out of your own pocket?"

Ye Feng nodded again.

Jiang Yanqing felt a pang of sadness. Ye Feng had actually spent his own money on Lao Feng's matter! She calmed herself down, then turned to Yang Xiaoyu and explained, "Ye Feng was also a victim in this matter. That money was compensation from Lao Feng. What we're giving you is 100,000."

Yang Yunqing's tears fell instantly. Looking at her mother and younger brother, she felt a pang of grievance.

She didn't understand why they couldn't trust Ye Feng.

She felt caught in the middle, with family on one side and friends on the other, both people she cared about, making it difficult for her to decide.

"Mom, Xiaoyu, how could you do this? Ye Feng isn't that kind of person!" Yang Yunqing choked up, her voice trembling with tears.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Yang's mother's face; she hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Ye Feng certainly didn't seem to be lying.

She had wronged Ye Feng, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize.

"You think you can get rid of us with 200,000? Don't even think about it! 600,000, not a penny less!" Yang Xiaoyu's tone was firm, showing no intention of backing down.

Yang Xiaoyu thought to himself, since they were willing to pay 200,000, it meant there was still more profit to be made.

He needs to take this opportunity to make a quick buck.

Jiang Yanqing frowned, looking at Yang Xiaoyu, her tone icy: "Two hundred thousand isn't enough? Just give me a real price, how much do you want?"

Jiang Yanqing was furious. She felt that this family was simply insatiable and taking advantage of her.

"Six hundred thousand! I told you, not a penny less!" Yang Xiaoyu repeated without hesitation.

His eyes were filled with greed.

"One hundred thousand, not a penny more. The other one hundred thousand is Ye Feng's own decision, and I can't control that." Jiang Yanqing's tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Jiang Yanqing had already prepared for the worst; if all else failed, she would take the matter to court.

"You're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit! Then we'll see you in court! You'll be going to jail then!" Yang Xiaoyu threatened viciously.

He believed that no one would risk their future for such a trivial matter.

"The court? Go ahead and sue me! I'm already divorced from Lao Feng, and our assets have been notarized. You won't get a single penny!" Jiang Yanqing sneered, showing no fear.

She had anticipated Yang Xiaoyu's move and dealt with it calmly.

Yang Xiaoyu's expression changed. His wishful thinking had failed, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand should be enough, right?" Yang Xiaoyu's voice weakened, his tone tinged with compromise.

He realized that he might have messed things up.

"Ten thousand, give Ye Feng his ten thousand back." Jiang Yanqing's tone was icy and resolute.

Yang Xiaoyu was furious and grabbed Jiang Yanqing by the collar: "Are you kidding me? You just said 200,000, and now it's 100,000? Do you think I'm stupid?"

He pulled hard, and Jiang Yanqing, caught off guard, staggered backward and almost fell to the ground.

Ye Feng appeared out of nowhere, just in time to support Jiang Yanqing, while simultaneously shoving Yang Xiaoyu away forcefully.

"What are you doing?!" Yang Xiaoyu roared, he didn't expect Ye Feng to dare to attack him.

"I'm warning you, don't touch her again!" Ye Feng's voice was low but full of threat.

Ye Feng originally wanted to let the matter drop, but Yang Xiaoyu's actions completely enraged him.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you warn me?" Yang Xiaoyu shouted, completely unaware of the impending danger.

"Snapped!"

Yang Xiaoyu staggered from the blow, clutching his cheek and staring at Ye Feng in disbelief.

Yang Xiaoyu's face was filled with shock. He had never imagined that Ye Feng would dare to hit him.

At this moment, Ye Feng grabbed Yang Xiaoyu by the collar and slapped him again: "Try swearing again?"

Yang Xiaoyu felt a surge of fear. He used to look down on Ye Feng, but now he was genuinely afraid. His eyes reddened, and he looked at his mother with a wronged expression: "Mom..."

Yang's mother, still reeling from the shock, exploded: "You dare hit my son! I'll fight you to the death!"

She charged at Ye Feng, baring her teeth and claws.

Yang's mother felt sorry for her son; she just wanted to protect her child.

Ye Feng stood there, letting Yang's mother hit him, and explained, "Auntie, you've spoiled Xiaoyu these past few years. Look at the state he's in now."

He didn't want to lay a hand on an elder, so he could only silently endure it.

Yang's mother got tired of hitting him and stopped, panting heavily.

Ye Feng looked at her: "Xiao Yu is arrogant, rude, and foul-mouthed. He's nothing like a college student. Miss Jiang came here today to apologize, which is more than enough. But he's being unreasonable and acting like a hooligan."

Yang's mother stiffened. Ye Feng's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the anger in her heart. She knew in her heart that Ye Feng was right; Yang Xiaoyu had indeed been spoiled by them over the years.

Yang's mother felt a little guilty. She looked at Yang Yunqing, who was standing silently to the side.

"Yunqing, tell me, what should we do about this?" Yang's mother threw the difficult question to her daughter.

Yang Yunqing had been silent until her mother called on her, at which point she reluctantly spoke up: "What else can I say? I've broken up with the hospital director. Xiaoyu won't have a brother-in-law to protect him anymore."

Yang Yunqing's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a bomb, instantly stunning Yang Xiaoyu.

His brother-in-law has always been his greatest support and the source of his power.

"Sis, you really broke up with the hospital director?" Yang Xiaoyu's voice trembled. "What about my job?"

Yang Xiaoyu panicked. If the hospital director was no longer his brother-in-law, wouldn't his job be ruined?

"Your boyfriend promised to help me get admitted to the hospital!" Yang Xiaoyu couldn't believe it.

"Sis, you can't break up with him! Tell him to bring a few security guards over and arrest this kid!" Yang Xiaoyu pointed at Ye Feng and said fiercely.

Yang Xiaoyu felt resentful.

He must make Ye Feng pay the price.

Yang Yunqing glared at her younger brother fiercely: "Enough! I told you, we've already broken up!"

Yang Yunqing felt exhausted. Her younger brother's unreasonable demands and her mother's favoritism had left her emotionally drained.

She regretted accepting the director's advances and also regretted telling her family about it.

Ye Feng had been observing all of this with a cold eye, but now he finally turned his gaze to Jiang Yanqing: "Are you alright?"

His voice was gentle, a stark contrast to his previous coldness.

Jiang Yanqing gently shook her head: "I'm fine. Let's go."

Jiang Yanqing didn't want to continue the entanglement.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Yang Xiaoyu blocked their way. "One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand it is!"
