He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Ye Zhenghao was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his crossed legs. His long, slender fingers nimbly swiped the touchscreen. Hearing Siyi's footsteps, he looked up and glanced at her. "Jiang Yanhui should already know what's going on here. Most of the reports online have been deleted. He's quite quick."

Siyi was not surprised at all, because it was Liu Qi who rescued her and brought her here. Liu Qi was Jiang Yanhui's personal assistant, so his sudden arrival must have meant he was nearby. It was only a matter of time before Jiang Yanhui found out.

Seeing that she was sitting in front of him without any expression, her eyes lowered and it was unclear what she was thinking, Ye Zhenghao raised an eyebrow, then simply closed the laptop on his lap and placed it aside. He then leaned slightly over and looked at Siyi, "Are you still angry?"

Five years have passed, and it must be admitted that the siblings have matured quite a bit. However, Ye Zhenghao still understands Siyi's temper. She valued those two children so much back then, and now such reports are too sharp, directly impacting Beibei and Tiantian. It's impossible for her to be indifferent.

Siyi's long eyelashes drooped quietly. Upon hearing this, she merely sighed softly, smoothing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Facing her family, she didn't want to hide too much of her emotions. "Brother, it's impossible for me not to be angry. I feel like he didn't take my words to heart at all, and he's never really cared about the child. What's the point of offering hindsight advice after something this big has already happened? The damage to the child has already been done."

The incident is unfolding. Jiang Yan will never know that just now in the elevator, holding her child alone and surrounded by so many reporters, she not only felt her own helplessness, but also Bei Bei's helplessness.

This kind of harm was exactly what she had been worried about, and what she feared most actually came to pass.

"I don't think he did it on purpose."

Ye Zhenghao reached up and touched his nose. For some reason, the words just slipped out of his mouth. Only after the words were out did he realize with a start that he seemed to be acting as an intermediary for Jiang Yanhui? What was wrong with him? Could it be that he was really... bewitched?

Siyi was equally surprised, a look of disbelief flashing across her face. "Big brother, are you speaking up for Jiang Yanhui?"

Aren't these two men mortal enemies? When did they become "friends"? And how could someone with the older brother's personality possibly speak up for Jiang Yan? Did he take the wrong medicine today?

Seeing Siyi's surprised expression, Ye Zhenghao laughed first. "Is it that obvious?" He shook his head slightly, his tone relaxed. "I'm not exactly speaking up for him. I think what I'm saying is the truth."

"But haven't you always disliked him? I remember very clearly that you used to fight with him all the time, and you wouldn't stop until you were all bruised and battered."

Five years ago, every time these two men met, they were at loggerheads. And back then, the older brother was always trying to find something to use against Jiang Yan Hui.

"Girl, I'm doing this for you, aren't I?" Ye Zhenghao was both amused and exasperated. He recalled how he had suffered quite a bit back then. Jiang Yan's skills were truly top-notch, and he admitted that he was no match for her. However, he had trained himself quite a bit over the past five years. Should he challenge her to a duel sometime?

“Alright, listen to your older brother. I’m not targeting anyone personally. You’ve already given birth to his children, and they’re both five years old now. Do you think you can completely cut ties with him? Also, there’s something I need to tell you.” Ye Zhenghao’s expression became slightly more serious. After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “I do know a little bit about the inside story regarding Jiang Yan’s marriage.”

Siyi's heart skipped a beat. These past two days, this was the thing she'd thought about most. It wasn't that she didn't want to believe Jiang Yanhui, but rather that she was afraid to. So, from the very beginning, she instinctively chose to run away. After seeing Ying Rui, a voice inside her kept shouting—

Between Jiang Yanhui and Ying Rui, she chose to believe Jiang Yanhui more.

Perhaps he really isn't married; something this big, he wouldn't need to deceive himself about...

Siyi bit her lip, but still asked, "What do you know?"

Ye Zhenghao narrowed his eyes, one arm behind his head. "Actually, this is a long story. Three years ago, the Jiang family encountered a crisis. There were many shady dealings in the Jiang family that Jiang Yansen had been managing. After Jiang Yanhui suddenly took over, she spent two years but still couldn't revive the Jiang family. The company's biggest shortage was still funds. However, at that time, there was some discord between Lin Zhenbiao and him, so he didn't help Jiang Yanhui. He just chose to wait and see, and then arranged for her to marry into the Nan family."

When Ye Zhenghao mentioned the sensitive word "South," he noticeably slowed down his speech, but Siyi's mind wasn't on his tone at the moment.

So she didn't notice that her older brother was clearly showing some emotion when he pronounced a surname.

“I think Lin Zhenbiao’s insistence on Jiang Yanhui marrying another woman is partly due to you. However, the Nan family’s daughter did indeed agree to marry Jiang Yanhui before, but she seems to have refused to get married later…” Ye Zhenghao coughed lightly, recalling that day when the whole of City A was abuzz with news of Jiang Yanhui’s impending marriage to Nan Qingshu. He happened to be at a dinner party and got completely drunk. In his hazy state, he encountered Nan Qingshu in a hotel room. That… was their first time. It was mostly due to the alcohol, but he couldn’t deny that he was fascinated by her body.

"Later, Lin Zhenbiao found another family, the Ying family, and arranged for Jiang Yanhui to marry the Ying family's daughter. That girl, Ying Rui, was only in her early twenties at the time, and hadn't even graduated from university. After the wedding, she went abroad and hadn't returned all these years. Moreover, their wedding was very low-key." Ye Zhenghao casually stroked the corner of his eyebrow with his slender fingers. "Once, quite by chance, I was socializing with a colleague who worked at the Civil Affairs Bureau. He was probably drunk, and for some reason, he leaked this information. That's when I found out that Jiang Yanhui and Ying Rui hadn't actually registered their marriage three years ago. In fact, they weren't really husband and wife."

It was from that time that Ye Zhenghao truly changed his opinion of Jiang Yanhui.

He used to dislike him, not just because he was Jiang Yan Hui, but more because he hurt Si Yi and intruded into the lives of everyone in the Ye family. He really tried every means to make him suffer. But after Si Yi left, he witnessed him transform from a high-and-mighty young master into a crazy and persistent man. In the end, he knew that he could still guard the last line of defense. How could he not know that everything he did was waiting for his sister?

There was surprise, there was unexpectedness, but mostly there was bewilderment and helplessness.

Even though she had already guessed some of it, Siyi's mind was still completely thrown into turmoil when she actually received this highly credible information from someone.

She subconsciously clenched her fists and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing her like this, Ye Zhenghao understood how she felt. He was just about to get up and give her some quiet space when the door was knocked loudly.

Both of them were taken aback. Who would come here at this hour?

Ye Zhenghao glanced at Siyi, "You sit down, I'll go take a look." Actually, he was worried that reporters might sneak in, after all, these are extraordinary times, but he was sure he could stop them if he went out.

He stood in the entryway, and just to be safe, glanced through the peephole first, only to find that standing outside wasn't anyone, but—

A slight smile played on Ye Zhenghao's lips. At this moment, he thought that he could probably finally entrust his sister to this man with peace of mind. After so many years of ups and downs between them, he really didn't want them to be like Romeo and Juliet, and of course, he didn't want to be the "elder brother" in that story.

Ye Zhenghao opened the door directly. Jiang Yan, who had just raised her hand to knock, paused. Seeing Ye Zhenghao, she wasn't surprised and simply asked, "Where's Sisi?"

"inside."

Ye Zhenghao was unusually easy to talk to, and even made way for him, saying, "I have something to do and need to go downstairs. You can go in by yourself. But let me make this clear first: if anything in the room breaks, remember to go to the front desk to pay for it. I'm not going to cover for you."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and adjusted his collar, chuckled, and walked past Jiang Yan Hui, heading straight out of the room.

Jiang Yanhui didn't care about Ye Zhenghao at this moment. As soon as he saw him leave, she was overjoyed. She slammed the door shut and strode into the room.

Siyi vaguely heard the conversation outside. Curious, she stood up and took two steps before seeing a man walking from the corner of the entrance hall. His travel-worn appearance told her that he had just gotten off a plane. His usually bright and handsome face now showed obvious signs of fatigue.

Jiang Yan returns...

Jiang Yanhui is here? Wasn't he in America? How come he... suddenly came back?

It was like a god; her mind had just been filled with thoughts of him, but how did he suddenly appear like this?

She paused, as if she hadn't expected it, or as if she had anticipated it, but the tangled emotions in her heart were too overwhelming for her to control. She couldn't help but turn around. The room was so small, and she just felt too confused right now, unable to sort anything out, and naturally, she didn't want to see him.

But before she could take two steps, she was hugged tightly from behind, and the deep voice made her tremble all over—

"Sisi, I'm sorry..."
