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

Jiang Yuwei's eyes were so sharp they seemed to pierce through people's hearts, and she was clearly particularly concerned about Gu Mengmeng's appearance.

My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but think of those unpleasant memories from my past life.

In my past life, Jiang Yuwei was very cold to me. As soon as Gu Mengmeng saw her, she slapped her without saying a word, saying that she was going to stand up for me. As a result, the two of them ended up in the hospital.

From then on, Gu Mengmeng and Jiang Yuwei became enemies and couldn't stand each other.

Jiang Yuwei even went so far as to target Gu Mengmeng's family; if it weren't for...

Sigh, why is this drama playing out again? Even though nothing happened, the atmosphere still feels off.

No, I have to stop it. I can't let that tragedy from my past life repeat itself. I don't have the ability to turn things around now.

Just as I was about to speak, Gu Mengmeng casually put her hands in her pockets and blocked most of Jiang Yuwei's view in front of me.

"President Jiang, why didn't you just ask me about this? I've been here the whole time." She smiled casually, but Jiang Yuwei's face instantly darkened.

I quickly pulled Gu Mengmeng behind me, so that we could face Jiang Yuwei's face, which was as cold as ice.

"She's my friend, she came to help me out," I explained.

But I felt that Jiang Yuwei's eyes seemed even more dissatisfied, as if they could breathe fire.

"Ye Qiu, when did you become so indiscriminate in your friendships? You'll hang around any Tom, Dick, or Harry." Jiang Yuwei's words were barbed.

I was furious and glared at her: "Jiang Yuwei, watch your mouth!"

She sneered, her words carrying a hidden meaning: "Your uncle is in trouble, and instead of asking your own wife for help, you're asking outsiders. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"

I was puzzled. I didn't specifically invite Gu Mengmeng. Even if I did, so what?

Besides, Jiang Yuwei and I are about to get divorced, it would be strange to ask her for help.

Just as I was about to retort, Gu Mengmeng suddenly grabbed my shoulder, looking at Jiang Yuwei with a firm gaze, but her tone was very relaxed: "President Jiang is busy, she doesn't have time to deal with Ye Qiu's affairs, so I came. It's normal for friends to help each other, right?"

Jiang Yuwei glanced at Gu Mengmeng and said coldly, "I'm talking to my husband, why are you interrupting?"

Gu Mengmeng's face darkened, but she quickly smiled again: "President Jiang, I am Ye Qiu's best friend, so his business is my business. Besides, I just heard Ye Qiu say that he doesn't want to be with you anymore and wants a divorce."

When I heard that, my heart skipped a beat. Gu Mengmeng had actually overheard what I was saying.

I didn't really want her to know I wanted a divorce, afraid she'd act impulsively, but the words were already out, and there was no going back. To make matters worse, I felt Jiang Yuwei's icy, knife-like gaze piercing me.

I looked up to meet her gaze. Her face was ashen, and she exuded an aura of authority that made it difficult to look directly at her. "Then let's talk about it after we're really divorced. It's a shame that a woman is so blatantly being a mistress; the world is going to the dogs."

Gu Mengmeng's smile froze on her face, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

My face instantly darkened, and a nameless anger surged within me. "Jiang Yuwei! What nonsense are you spouting?!" Isn't this blatantly implying that I'm having an affair and treating Gu Mengmeng as my lover?!

I don't care what she said about me; after all, I've heard far worse things. But Gu Mengmeng's innocence must not be tarnished.

Looking back on my past life, Gu Mengmeng was hurt even more because of the big fight between me and Jiang Yuwei, while I was like a fool at the time. Not only did I not help her, but I also blamed her for being nosy and told her not to meddle in my mess.

Seeing the hurt in her eyes, I turned and walked away cruelly. Only after she sacrificed herself to save me did I feel deep regret. In this lifetime, I will never allow anyone to bully Gu Mengmeng again, especially Jiang Yuwei!

I glared at Jiang Yuwei, my fingers turning white from the pressure. "Listen to me, watch your mouth! Gu Mengmeng is my best friend. You can insult anyone, but not her!"

Jiang Yuwei's face grew increasingly grim, her eyes flashing like two daggers, radiating a chilling aura. She sneered, "Ye Qiu, don't forget you're still my husband. Protecting her like this will only lead to misunderstandings."

I couldn't help but sneer, thinking to myself, you're not qualified to judge others, yet you're the one who interferes in other people's relationships.

But I didn't say anything. Gu Mengmeng stepped forward, her gaze icy. "You slander Ye Qiu so casually. I think it's the wise thing for him to do is divorce you." When she said this, I sensed an unusual aura, as if she was hiding a deep anger.

I didn't want to get entangled any longer, so I tried to pull Gu Mengmeng away, but Jiang Yuwei grabbed my wrist.

I glared at her angrily. She was expressionless, but her eyes were unusually firm. "Ye Qiu, we're not divorced yet. Your uncle is sick. You should take me to see him."

I sighed, knowing Jiang Yuwei's relentless temper.

Making a scene at the hospital would be bad for everyone, so I had to compromise: "I can take you there, but if you dare to say anything out of line, I will never forgive you."

Jiang Yuwei coldly replied, "I know," and followed us into the ward. Her uncle was studying a chess score, and when he saw us come in, especially when he saw Jiang Yuwei, he looked puzzled.

Jiang Yuwei rarely showed a smile and introduced herself: "Uncle, I am Jiang Yuwei."

A hint of doubt flashed in his uncle's eyes as he murmured, "Jiang Yuwei? I've never heard Ye Qiu mention you before?"

Jiang Yuwei turned her head slightly and glanced at me. "Is that so?"

Her gaze suddenly turned icy, as if she wanted to freeze me into an ice cube. I was still furious, but now I felt inexplicably guilty and unconsciously touched the tip of my nose.

Although Jiang Yuwei and I are not divorced yet, I have never mentioned her to my uncle. Thinking about Jiang Yuwei's proud personality, he must be feeling bad right now.

To my surprise, she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she explained to her uncle, "Uncle, I've been too busy with work. Ye Qiu felt sorry for me, so he didn't tell me you were sick, nor did he mention me to you."

When she said that, I was stunned for several seconds. I felt so uncomfortable. She was actually playing the role of a good wife in front of my uncle.

After listening, my uncle gave me a strange look, then lowered his head and continued to work on his chess notation.

That one glance made my heart pound; I felt like something was off.

"Mengmeng, go to the drawer and get me some medicine," her uncle instructed Gu Mengmeng.

"Okay!" Gu Mengmeng readily agreed and quickly went to the drawer to find the medicine.

As she passed by Jiang Yuwei, she gave Jiang Yuwei a meaningful look and smiled, "President Jiang, please make way."

Jiang Yuwei glanced at her indifferently, then walked to the table, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her uncle along with the medicine in Gu Mengmeng's hand.

The uncle looked up at the two of them, his expression becoming even more complicated. He took the medicine, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.

Then, the two of them tacitly picked up fruit knives and began peeling apples, cutting them into pieces, and plating them, their movements so fluid it was as if they had rehearsed it.

I stood to the side, watching them busy themselves, their expressions were truly fascinating.

Gu Mengmeng is gentle and meticulous, making her perfect for this job.

But Jiang Yuwei is different. She's not usually the type to do such trivial things, but now she's cutting fruit here, completely different from her usual decisive and efficient self. It's terrifying to watch.

Just then, my uncle suddenly leaned closer to me and whispered, "Ye Qiu, I can tell they're both nice, but isn't it a bit much for you to bring your mistress here in front of the wife?"

"Gu Mengmeng has a good temper and won't hold it against you, but you are her husband, so you have to know your limits."
