After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

I accidentally burned someone, and before I could even offer compensation, I was pushed to the ground. My wrist is cracking with pain, and nobody's happy. What can I possibly be satisfied with?

She suddenly grabbed my collar, which tightened around my neck, making me feel suffocated.

"Still pretending? Ye Qiu, I always thought you were just a bit greedy and didn't have any other thoughts. But now it seems you quite enjoy being surrounded by a group of beautiful women, having women on your side and speaking up for you, don't you!"

She rushed to accuse me of being unfaithful to the marriage. At first, I didn't understand, but then I suddenly realized and laughed in anger.

"From what you're saying, I'm not only a loser, but also a womanizing scumbag."

When Jiang Yuwei saw me smiling, her face darkened further, and she gripped me even tighter, her fingers turning white from the force.

"Isn't that right? It was her yesterday, and it's her again today. When did you two start hooking up? And why did you suddenly divorce me? Is it because of her?"

Or is it that you're raising a school of fish in your sea, and she's just one of them?

yesterday?

My pupils contracted slightly as I immediately grasped the key point: yesterday, she abandoned me on the road, and I later got into Meng Ziyin's car. Logically, only the three of us should know about this.

"You came back to see me yesterday?" I asked instinctively.

She sneered, "Don't change the subject. What's your relationship with her?"

I slapped her hand away, a playful smile playing on my lips. "Oh, so you're jealous? Just admit it openly. There's no need to accuse me of cheating on you and slandering my innocence, is there?"

I don't believe that Jiang Yuwei, who likes Chen Yiran so much, wouldn't know who Chen Yiran's girlfriend is, yet she insists on linking me with Meng Ziyin and saying that I'm hooking up with Meng Ziyin. Has she lost her mind?

Moreover, she's jealous of Meng Ziyin, and when she's in a bad mood, she takes it out on Chen Yiran. What kind of business is it of her to come to me?

A hint of annoyance flashed across Jiang Yuwei's face, followed by a disdainful sneer.

"You think you're entitled to be jealous? You know Chen Yiran is a doctor, yet you still dared to scald him with hot water. His hands are for holding scalpels. If anything happens to him, how are you going to compensate him?"

My face suddenly turned pale, as if I had been punched hard in the face, and I stared at her in disbelief.

"You think I deliberately scalded him with hot water?"

Jiang Yuwei's eyes darkened. "Isn't that right?"

Even if my love for her had faded in my past life, I still can't bear her poking my heart like this in this life. I feel a long-lost pain in my heart and a chill running through my body.

If Chen Yiran's hands are important, then aren't my hands also hands?

Did she offer a single word of concern when I was burned? She pinned the blame on me without even asking why; it truly chilled me to the bone.

I chuckled to myself and said no more.

"Okay, you're right. I did it on purpose. You like him, so I'm going to ruin him."

"Even his girlfriend, I deliberately seduced her. I'm such a bad seed, so why don't you divorce me!"

Every word I said enraged her. Her brows furrowed tightly, and she erupted in a rare fit of rage: "So you just want a divorce? Fine, I'll grant your wish."

"See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau entrance at 8:30 tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Yuwei left, but I remained where I was, my face pale and my lips tightly pressed together.

In my past life, I was scarred and unrecognizable because of this delusional love.

She made her life her life, her ideals her ideals, and completely lost herself. Now that they're finally getting a divorce, although I'm heartbroken by her scolding, I feel much better.

Finally, this ill-fated relationship is coming to an end.

After packing my things, I still wanted to go see Chen Yiran, who was also burned because of my accident.

But I stopped again after taking only two steps.

Jiang Yuwei just told me to stay away from Chen Yiran.

Besides, with his girlfriend Meng Ziyin taking care of him, it doesn't really matter whether I go or not, so I'd better not.

I took out my phone, sent a message to Meng Ziyin, and also transferred a red envelope to her as compensation and an apology red envelope to Chen Yiran. Then I went to my uncle's ward.

As soon as I entered, I saw my uncle sitting on the bed, wearing a loose hospital gown, with a stubble beard on his face, looking like a homeless man in his forties or fifties, staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

I called out to him, "Uncle."

His eyes, which had been as still as a lake, suddenly stirred with emotion, and he sat up straight, as if he had been waiting for me to arrive.

"You came."

His voice sounded somewhat excited, containing anticipation, "I happen to have some food here, why don't you stay for lunch and just grab a bite?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a table not far away. I looked over and my eyes widened in shock.

A table was laden with all sorts of delicacies from land and sea.

"Uncle, is this... is this okay?"

And they're all things I like!

My pupils dilated in shock as I looked at my composed uncle, who pursed his lips.

"It's true that I didn't prepare enough. I only prepared seafood. If we were at home, we wouldn't eat such a simple meal. I'll add more..."

"This is already very good!" I quickly interrupted him. He had been kicked out of his home by his grandfather and was already very poor. The fact that he could still put together such a big meal showed his great care. I couldn't let him spend any more money.

My uncle looked at my face carefully, as if to confirm whether I was serious. After a while, he smiled and said, "Well, let's eat then."

I moved everything from the table to the bedside table and ate with him.

He has a heart condition and takes medication, so he has to be careful about what he eats and can't eat many things. This was obviously prepared for me.

"Uncle, how are you feeling now? Are you any better?"

My uncle was a man of few words; he picked up a shrimp and began peeling it by himself.

"okay."

My uncle put the peeled shrimp into my bowl and then went to peel another one.

I was somewhat moved.

In my past life, apart from my mother loving me and Jiang Yuwei's grandfather liking me, I had almost no relatives who cared for me.

At home, Li Jingxiu was the main person in charge, and after we got married, Jiang Yuwei was the main person in charge. No one ever remembered what I liked to eat, and it was impossible for anyone to peel shrimp for me.

I've always been a background character; nobody remembers me when nothing's going on, but when something happens, everyone can drag me out and humiliate me.

But now, my uncle not only prepares delicious food for me, the food I love, but even peels shrimp for me, taking care of me in every way he can. How can anyone not be moved?

I looked at him intently. "Uncle, aren't you going to eat?"

His bearded face betrayed no emotion. He placed a few shrimp in my bowl, then turned to fiddle with the plump king crab, his gaze towards me filled with the gentle tenderness of an elder.

“This is for you. Your mother said you like to eat these. From now on, your uncle will make up for all the meals you’ve missed over the years.”

My nose suddenly stung with tears. "Thank you, Uncle."

I must work hard to earn money and raise enough for my uncle's surgery. I don't want him to die young like he did in his previous life!

I became more proactive during the afternoon interviews.

The next day, I took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau early. I arrived twenty minutes early, but Jiang Yuwei had not yet arrived.
