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

Jiang Yuwei?

I smiled dismissively. "It's best to make her furious. That's settled."

Meng Ziyin joined our team, and I'm very satisfied with her performance. We spent the whole afternoon discussing things and she helped me sort out the latest trends.

On our first day at work, we worked together very well. I left on time, while Meng Ziyin had to stay and work overtime to improve herself.

I think Meng Ziyin is a beautiful, enthusiastic and ambitious girl. She, Jiang Yuwei, and Chen Yiran are all very lucky.

However, I can't quite remember Meng Ziyin's final fate. I only remember that she broke up with Chen Yiran three and a half years after we got married.

I remember it so clearly because during that time, some significant things also happened between Jiang Yuwei and me...

I picked up my bag and prepared to leave. Just as I reached the bottom of the company building, my phone rang.

When I saw the caller ID, my expression darkened slightly, but I still answered the phone.

"what happened?"

A powerful yet clearly dissatisfied voice immediately came from the other end of the phone:

"You don't even address people by their names anymore? Where has your politeness gone?"

From his tone, I could imagine Ye Zhenguo's angry and glaring appearance, and I felt extremely disgusted.

Ye Zhenguo called me, it must be about company matters, like wanting me to persuade Jiang Yuwei to give him money.

Sure enough, he said in a rude voice, "Why don't you go home for dinner with President Jiang tonight? I have some business to discuss with him."

Ye Zhenguo's tone sounded like he was giving a command.

A cold smile crept across my lips, my eyes filled with sarcasm.

A similar thing happened in my past life. I didn’t refuse his request then, but I was never willing to ask Jiang Yuwei for so much money to fill the gap in my family’s finances.

Under pressure from Ye Zhenguo, I cautiously asked Jiang Yuwei if she wanted to go home with me for a meal.

Jiang Yuwei rejected me, so I went home by myself. As a result, Ye Zhenguo scolded me severely, saying that I couldn't even hold onto my own wife's heart, and that raising me was worse than raising a dog.

My aunt and Li Jingxiu were fanning the flames from the sidelines, as if they were afraid that Ye Zhenguo wouldn't scold me harshly enough or that his hatred for me wasn't deep enough.

Ye Zhenguo even slapped me for this, and my face swelled up immediately. The burning pain tormented me for several days.

I actually have quite a temper, but deep down I crave affection.

Ye Zhenguo is my father; in my entire life before that, he was my only family.

If they are not satisfied with me, then it must be my problem.

I felt wronged and could only shed tears silently, yet I still suffered harsh scolding.

But in this life, at the last family gathering, I already refused Ye Zhenguo's unreasonable demands, and things are still going on.

Then don't blame me. I will wash away my shame. I will repay every bit of the harm I suffered in my past life!

And the hatred between that mother and son!

I didn't tell Jiang Yuwei, but instead took a taxi to the Ye family's villa.

The nanny, Wang Ma, rushed out to greet me. Seeing me alone, she paused for a moment, then hurried to my side, asking anxiously:

"Young Master, where is President Jiang?"

“I didn’t ask her to come,” I said bluntly.

Hearing this, Wang Ma became even more anxious. "Young Master, you know Mr. Ye's temper. If you come back like this, you'll definitely get scolded."

"You... why don't you leave now, and just pretend you never came back today, and I didn't see you either."

I smiled gently, patted Wang Ma's shoulder, and appeared very composed.

"Wang Ma, don't worry. Now that I'm back, I've already made preparations. It's not certain who will get scolded today."

At that moment, a loud male voice rang out.

"Cousin's back." Li Jingxiu suddenly stopped, then deliberately looked around before saying, "Huh, why did you come back alone? Didn't Uncle tell you to bring Sister Yuwei back with you?"

I glanced at him, not interested in acknowledging him.

I lazily lowered my eyes, ignoring it, and walked straight into the villa.

Hearing a noise on the stairs, I looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit with a slightly protruding belly walking down hand in hand with a woman in a dark red dress.

Li Jingxiu stormed in, yelling, "Ye Qiu, did I let you in?"

Ye Zhenguo and his aunt, who were at the bottom of the stairs, only then noticed me, and they instinctively let go of each other's hands at the same time.

"Why didn't you say you were coming back?" Ye Zhenguo scolded softly.

Seeing their panicked expressions, I couldn't help but laugh, the sarcasm in my eyes becoming even more pronounced.

"That's funny. I came back to my own home, and you were the one who called me back. Now someone won't let me in, and someone is blaming me for not greeting them. Am I not qualified, or are you afraid I'll see something I shouldn't?"

Apart from me, the other three people present all turned stiff.

Ye Zhenguo and his aunt's "love" was a secret affair, something that couldn't be made public, so they couldn't refute me.

At this moment, Wang Ma also entered the villa, glanced in our direction, and without saying anything, hurriedly went into the kitchen to get busy.

My aunt glanced at me, then craned her neck to look outside the door, and asked in a pretentious manner.

"Ye Qiu, didn't President Jiang come back with you? Was something holding him up?"

I continued walking inside. "I didn't call her."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenguo frowned.

Before he could speak, Li Jingxiu interrupted.

"Did my cousin not tell Sister Yuwei, or did he offend her and get rejected by her, which is why he can't bring the talent back?"

Li Jingxiu spoke with a smug look in his eyes, trying his best to sow discord.

Ye Zhenguo was very receptive to this. I knew that what he feared most was offending the Jiang family. Sure enough, he immediately glared at me angrily, "Ye Qiu, is what Jing Xiu said true?"

I laughed. "If I said no, would you believe me?"

Li Jingxiu walked over to Ye Zhenguo and his aunt, his eyes filled with disgust as he looked at me, but his words were very eloquent.

"Uncle, don't be angry. My cousin has never been good at pleasing his wife. Yuwei has been neglecting him for a long time. There's no use in you getting angry."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenguo seemed slightly lost in thought, probably recalling how difficult it had always been for him to find Jiang Yuwei in the past.

This made him even angrier. He gave me a cold look, his eyes filled with undisguised anger and disgust.

"Useless thing, what can you do? How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing?"

"Call Ms. Jiang right now. I must see her tonight!"

I lazily sat down on the sofa and said nonchalantly, "If you want to see her, just call her. I didn't say I wanted to see her."

"Ye Qiu, what kind of attitude is this?" Ye Zhenguo angrily pointed at me.

The aunt quickly patted Ye Zhenguo on the back and advised, "Brother-in-law, don't take it to heart with Ye Qiu. He's still young. Don't get upset and ruin your health. It's not worth it."

“Yes, Uncle.” Li Jingxiu chimed in, his eyes practically spitting fire, but he put on a pitiful expression.

“My brother has no other skills, all he does is bully people at home. Last time at the restaurant, he even said that I must have stolen your money to be able to eat there. He’s got a sharp tongue now, and I couldn’t argue with him. I was embarrassed in public, and my friends have stopped talking to me ever since.”

"It's a small matter if I lose face, but it would be serious if it affected my uncle and mother."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh. No wonder Li Jingxiu had been silent all day, as if the incident at the restaurant had never happened. He was waiting for me to find out.

Upon hearing this, the aunt's expression changed. "Ye Qiu, I know that after you married President Jiang, you looked down on your family."

"But no matter what, you're brothers. It's one thing for you not to take care of your younger brother, but how can you accuse him of stealing? You've really disappointed me."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhenguo immediately flew into a rage, just like in his previous life when he was instigated, "Ye Qiu, don't forget, you also have the surname Ye!"

"Don't think that marrying into the Jiang family will make you a phoenix rising from the ashes."

"You should take a good look in the mirror. Your character is terrible, and your personality is awful. If it weren't for the Ye family supporting you, you would have been kicked out by the Jiang family long ago—"
