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

Xiao Tian, ​​biting her chopsticks, said, "Sister Liu, you eat so elegantly! Unlike Uncle Feng, who wolfs down his food like a starving ghost."

"Pfft." Liu Qingyi couldn't help but laugh.

Brother Xiong and the others also laughed.

"A starving ghost reincarnated?" Ye Feng glared at Xiao Tian with a dark expression. "You've gotten quite the big shot, haven't you?"

Xiao Tian was startled by Ye Feng's sudden change of expression and quickly cried out pitifully, "Sister Liu, help!"

Liu Qingyi smiled and patted Xiaotian's head, then looked at Ye Feng and said in a commanding tone, "Ye Feng, sit down and eat properly."

Ye Feng sat back down in his chair, feeling dejected, and complained in a low voice, "You spoil him too much."

Sitting to the side, Mama Bear said cheerfully, "Qingyi, if Xiaofeng dares to throw a tantrum at you in the future, just teach him a lesson without holding back!"

Liu Qingyi raised an eyebrow triumphantly, looking at Ye Feng: "Did you hear that? If you ever dare to throw a tantrum at me again, plenty of people will take care of you!"

Ye Feng immediately put on a fawning expression and winked at Liu Qingyi: "My dear wife, how could I dare?"

Liu Qingyi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ye Feng's comical appearance.

Ye Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qingyi was in a good mood in front of the Xiong family.

After breakfast, Mama Bear and Sister-in-law Bear inquired about Liu Qingyi's eating habits and whether she was used to the taste.

"It's great, I like it very much," Liu Qingyi replied with a smile, her eyes sincere.

She really liked the feeling of home; it was simple and cozy.

Just then, Xiao Tian picked up his schoolbag and prepared to go to school. As he walked to the door, Liu Qingyi called out to him.

"Xiaotian, which middle school do you go to?"

“The First Middle School,” Xiaotian replied.

“It’s on my way, I’ll give you a ride.” Liu Qingyi picked up the car keys.

Brother Bear and Sister-in-law Bear exchanged a glance, both somewhat hesitant.

Brother Xiong worriedly said, "Won't this be too much trouble for Qingyi? Besides, I'm afraid it will spoil Xiaotian."

Sister-in-law Xiong chimed in, "Yes, what will happen to this child if he rides to school in a luxury car every day?"

Although they were somewhat worried, they couldn't refuse Liu Qingyi's kindness.

"It's alright, we're just going the same way." Liu Qingyi smiled. "Xiao Tian, ​​let's go."

Sister-in-law Xiong quickly instructed Xiaotian: "Be good on the way, and don't cause trouble for your Sister Liu."

Xiao Tian nodded obediently.

On the bus, Liu Qingyi and Xiaotian chatted about school.

As they approached the school gate, Xiaotian suddenly said, "Sister Liu, let's park here."

Liu Qingyi was a little confused: "It's still quite a distance from here to the school gate."

Xiao Tian explained somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't want my classmates to see me riding in a luxury car."

Liu Qingyi smiled, understanding his thoughts, and parked the car on the side of the road.

Xiao Tian got off the bus and was about to run towards the school when Liu Qingyi suddenly called out to him, "Xiao Tian, ​​your schoolbag!"

Xiao Tian then realized that he had left his schoolbag on the bus, and hurriedly ran back to get it, his face full of embarrassment.

"Thank you, Sister Liu, goodbye!" Xiao Tian said goodbye to Liu Qingyi again and ran quickly into the school.

Meanwhile, at the Xiong family's old residence, Ye Feng's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" Ye Feng answered the phone.

"Brother Feng!" Kong Xiaoyue's voice was low on the other end of the phone, but she couldn't hide the excitement in her tone. "A shocking secret, you can't even imagine it!"

Ye Feng frowned: "What is it? Tell me slowly."

"Old Liu has been reported!" Kong Xiaoyue spoke rapidly, "Embezzlement of public funds, placing cronies in positions of power, improper relationships with women—he's guilty of it all!"

Ye Feng suddenly sat up straight on the sofa, his hand gripping his phone unconsciously tightening.

Is it Sun Shangxiang?

He did not expect Sun Shangxiang to make a move at this time, and to be so ruthless.

He took a sip of water and asked, "What's the situation at the company right now?"

"The investigation team has entered the company, and Lao Liu has been suspended. Sister Xiang is in the hospital now." Kong Xiaoyue's voice trembled slightly, clearly showing her excitement.

After chatting for a while, Ye Feng hung up the phone.

Sun Shangxiang's public accusation disrupted his plans.

Old Liu is probably really going to be in deep trouble this time.

He immediately tried to call Sun Shangxiang, but a mechanical female voice came from the other end of the line: "Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later."

Immediately afterwards, a text message popped up: "Ye Feng, I'm not available to answer the phone right now. I'll contact you later."

Ye Feng frowned as he looked at the text message. Sun Shangxiang must have some unspeakable difficulties, but the current situation was far too complicated. Old Liu's downfall would affect many people.

Now that the anti-corruption investigation has been launched, once Lao Liu's crimes are confirmed, he will face severe legal punishment.

Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from downstairs: "Ye Feng! Ye Feng! Are you there?"

Ye Feng walked to the window and looked down. A familiar figure was standing downstairs.

It was Yu Xiaoshu, his comrade-in-arms from back then.

Ye Feng quickly went downstairs, and the two hugged tightly as soon as they met.

"Hey kid, long time no see!" Ye Feng patted Yu Xiaoshu's shoulder hard.

Yu Xiaoshu laughed and punched Ye Feng lightly: "That's right, it must have been two years! Come on, let's find a place to have a good talk, brother."

"There's a hot pot restaurant nearby, let's go there."

The two walked into the hot pot restaurant side by side.

Ye Feng spotted Li Tingting standing behind the cashier at a glance.

Li Tingting's expression was somewhat complicated, showing unease and evasiveness.

Since meeting Liu Qingyi last time, Li Tingting realized the gap between herself and Liu Qingyi, but she still felt resentful.

Li Tingting forced a stiff smile: "Ye Feng, you're here. Come in and sit down."

Ye Feng nodded and sat down with Yu Xiaoshu at a window seat.

"Little Tree, order whatever you want to eat. It's on me today."

"Okay!" Yu Xiaoshu picked up the menu and started looking through it.

"Two cases of beer, please," Ye Feng called out.

"I have to drive this afternoon, so I can't drink." Yu Xiaoshu put down the menu.

"Oh, you've changed careers? You're a driver now?" Ye Feng was a little surprised.

“Yes, I started driving for Didi.” Yu Xiaoshu sighed. “Life is tough. Things have changed so much in the last few years.”

Just as Ye Feng was about to speak, he saw Yu Xiaoshu's face suddenly turn gloomy.

Yu Xiaoshu said sadly, "By the way, my dad passed away last year."

"What?!" Ye Feng's teacup trembled, spilling tea all over him.

Seeing this, Li Tingting quickly grabbed some tissues to help Ye Feng wipe his face.

"Are you alright, Ye Feng?"

Ye Feng waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaoshu joked, "Brother Feng's charm is as strong as ever!"

Ye Feng forced a smile: "It's just my temperament. Tell me what's going on."

Yu Xiaoshu's face turned even uglier.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip as if to bolster his courage, and then slowly began to recount everything.
