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

"Your uncle had an accident, and I had no idea about it. Gu Mengmeng, on the other hand, stayed by his side the whole time, taking care of him with both money and effort. Are you trying to pick a fight with me now?"

I scratched my head in confusion; a woman's mind is more difficult to understand than a maze.

Was Jiang Yuwei angry that Gu Mengmeng overstepped her bounds, or was it simply because I didn't let her perform, making her feel embarrassed?

"Jiang Yuwei, I don't have time to play provocative games with you. It's obvious we're getting a divorce and breaking up. Why would I contact you? That would be a joke!" I helplessly spread my hands.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, sending chills down my spine. "So, you've turned to Gu Mengmeng? Ye Qiu, is your sudden mention of divorce because of her?"

I was amused by her words, and said seriously, "The divorce is because our feelings for each other have faded, and it has nothing to do with anyone else except you. Don't drag Gu Mengmeng into this."

"You're being so persistent, you're just like a jealous, resentful woman. Could it be that you have feelings for me?" I deliberately provoked her, knowing full well that was impossible.

That was just something I said in anger. I don't believe Jiang Yuwei would ever be interested in me. Even if the world turned upside down, she wouldn't give me a second glance.

Jiang Yuwei's expression was complex and hard to decipher, but her voice was icy cold. "Don't dream. The Jiang family is a prestigious clan. If you cheat on me and make me lose face, neither you nor your lover will have a good life anymore."

"Judging from your tone, you're convinced I've already cheated on you?"

She moved closer to me, her eyes sharp. "In terms of qualifications, how does Gu Mengmeng compare to me? Just because I won't let you touch her, you're already in such a hurry to find someone else?"

My face darkened, completely enraged by her words. In a fit of impulse, I slapped her. "Jiang Yuwei, shut up!"

After I finished yelling, I left without looking back, not even noticing her shocked and angry expression.

In my entire life, apart from that one time I fought back after being raped, I have never resorted to violence in an argument.

But today, she really went too far!

I had only taken a few steps when a powerful force gripped my wrist. Jiang Yuwei pulled me close and pinned me against the wall. Before I could react, she had already stood on tiptoe and forcefully kissed my lips.

I was completely stunned, a mixture of anger and disbelief.

She kissed me again! This is the second time she's kissed me, and it happened after I hit her. Is there something wrong with her head?

Ignoring my resistance, she deepened the kiss, trying to pry open my teeth.

I gritted my teeth and struggled desperately, but it was as if I was nailed to the spot, unable to move.

This seemed to fuel Jiang Yuwei's anger even more. She grabbed my hand, completely conquering the city, her scent filling my nostrils.

She stole my breath, and I almost suffocated.

Jiang Yuwei, what are you thinking?!

With a determined heart, I bit her hard, and a metallic sweetness instantly filled my mouth.

Jiang Yuwei finally let go of me in pain.

I gasped for breath, almost suffocated by her kiss. I wiped my lips and saw blood on my hand; she had indeed bitten me.

"Jiang Yuwei, aren't you asking for trouble? You just accused me of cheating, and the next second you kissed me. Are you out of your mind?" I shouted indignantly.

Jiang Yuwei ignored my insults. She calmly wiped the blood from the corner of her lips, gave me a deep look, as if she was suppressing some emotion.

She tugged at her collar, her gaze resolute: "Ye Qiu, want a divorce? No way! In your next life!" With that, she gave me a cold glance, turned and left, leaving me stunned and furious.

I was so angry with her that I wanted to laugh but couldn't. She was driving me crazy!

Jiang Yuwei! She really knows how to make people miserable!

I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down, and told myself not to get angry with this kind of person. It's not worth ruining my health if I get angry. I didn't have stomach cancer to begin with, and I'd only give it up if she made me angry.

Hmph, she won't be smug for long. Once Chen Yiran leaves, let's see how she regrets it and comes begging me for a divorce!

Just as I was about to leave, someone gently tapped my shoulder, which startled me.

Looking back, I saw Gu Mengmeng's delicate and refined face.

"Gu Mengmeng, what brings you here?" I asked in surprise.

Gu Mengmeng's gaze lingered on my lips for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly. "Ye Qiu, did she bully you?" I shook my head, trying to answer casually, "It's nothing, just a few words exchanged, nothing serious. That's just how she is, she only allows herself to do things her way, not the common people."

Gu Mengmeng hugged my waist tenderly, "It's my fault for making you suffer."

I quickly pushed her away and laughed, "It's really nothing, don't worry. But you have to be careful with Jiang Yuwei, don't go head-to-head with her."

Gu Mengmeng nodded in agreement, and we walked together toward the ward.

Through the windowpane, I vaguely caught a glimpse of an unusual emotion in Gu Mengmeng's reflection, but when I turned to look at her, she was smiling gently, as if nothing had happened.

Back in the ward, my uncle was lying on the bed in a daze, looking preoccupied.

He managed a weak smile when he saw us return.

He looked at me, then at Gu Mengmeng, his eyes full of apology.

"Mengmeng, I'm sorry about what happened just now."

Gu Mengmeng smiled warmly: "Uncle, don't take it to heart. Even if I'm not your niece-in-law, I'm still Ye Qiu's good friend. It's only right that I take care of you, Uncle."

The uncle tugged at the corner of his stubble-covered mouth and continued, "But I have high hopes for you. Having you is Ye Qiu's blessing."

"Uncle!" I quickly interrupted them, afraid that the misunderstanding would worsen.

First of all, I don't like her, and secondly, she doesn't like me either, so I usually explain whenever someone misunderstands.

My uncle agreed, afraid of upsetting me. "Okay, I won't say anything more."

"Oh, right." He seemed to suddenly remember something, took a check from beside his pillow, and handed it to Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng's handsome face showed a hint of surprise. "Uncle, what's this?"

I leaned over to take a look. There were so many zeros on the check that I had to count them carefully, tens, hundreds, thousands, and millions...

At the same time, my uncle looked at Gu Mengmeng and spoke softly.

"Xiao Jiang said this is the money she's paying back for Ye Qiu, a full 500,000 yuan. Take a look—"
