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

A layer of frost covered Jiang Yuwei's eyes. She suddenly exerted force, and with a "crack," the fork in her hand broke and she threw it hard onto the table.

Then, she quickly took out her phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yichen's voice carried a hint of flattery and surprise.

"Sis, what brings you to call me?"

Jiang Yuwei's gaze swept coldly across the dining table, her voice icy and piercing, "Where is Chen Yiran?"

There was a noticeable two-second silence on the other end of the phone. "Him? I don't know. He's just a cleaner now. I have so many things to do every day, how can I possibly have time for him?"

I could hear their conversation clearly, whether Jiang Yuwei turned up the volume on purpose or not.

Jiang Yichen must have sensed something was off about Jiang Yuwei's tone and knew that Chen Yiran must have done something, so he was anxious to distance himself from her.

They say they'd go to great lengths for their brothers, but when it comes to personal gain, they still prioritize themselves.

Jiang Yuwei is ruthless and decisive in the business world, so she definitely wouldn't want to hear Jiang Yichen's words.

She glanced at me, her eyes revealing a hint of determination.

"Tell Chen Yiran to behave himself. If there's a next time, I'll shut him up forever!"

After saying that, she paused, then added, "I mean what I say."

I was somewhat taken aback!

From my interactions with Chen Yiran, I could sense that there were some untold secrets between him and Jiang Yuwei, and that these things were very important to Jiang Yuwei.

I originally thought that Jiang Yuwei would at least have some sympathy for Chen Yiran, but now it seems that she really wants to completely break ties with Chen Yiran.

I secretly speculated that there might be some kind of complicated deal between the two of them, and if it broke down, it could have a significant impact on Jiang Yuwei.

Thinking about this, I suddenly wanted to slap myself. Any impact on Jiang Yuwei had nothing to do with me, so why should I worry?

Jiang Yichen's voice trembled slightly on the other end of the phone, "Is...is it that serious? Sis, what did Chen Yiran do this time?"

Jiang Yuwei's tone remained cold and devoid of warmth, "You don't need to worry about that. All you need to do is keep an eye on him. If he runs back to your brother-in-law, you can expect to be begging for food."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen quickly assured her, "Sister, don't worry, I promise to keep an eye on him."

Jiang Yichen becomes unusually quick-witted whenever money is mentioned.

Jiang Yuwei paused for a moment, then emphasized again, "Also, Chen Yiran went to work to pay off his debts, not to play around."

Jiang Yichen immediately understood what Jiang Yuwei meant. "Sister, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange more work for him."

Just by listening to the voice on the phone, I can imagine Jiang Yichen bowing and scraping.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuwei turned to look at me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

I casually forked a piece of apple. "Would it do any good to tell you? Would you do it my way?"

Previously, Jiang Yuwei always seemed to favor Chen Yiran. Although things have changed somewhat now, I still can't completely trust her.

Jiang Yuwei looked at me with deep eyes, then suddenly grabbed my hand and put the apple into her mouth.

Zhang Yan stood to the side, looking like he had bumped into something, as if he couldn't see that it was Jiang Yuwei who had taken my hand, and that I had been trying to break free.

I was about to explode with a cold expression when Jiang Yuwei spoke first, "What do you want to do?"

I looked at her with a half-smile, "Now let Chen Yiran disappear forever."

Of course, I wouldn't actually do that; I just wanted to see just how far Jiang Yuwei was capable. After all, I'm a law-abiding citizen.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's expression changed drastically, her face becoming clouded with a misty aura, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.

Having lived with Jiang Yuwei for so long, I know her well, and it's obvious she's hesitant about this.

I don't know why, even though I already guessed the outcome, it felt like something had stabbed my heart.

The huge living room was deathly silent.

I curled my lips into a mocking smile: "Didn't you just say you'd listen to me? What, you're having second thoughts?"

She pretended to be so affectionate towards me, but deep down she still couldn't let go of Chen Yiran.

Jiang Yuwei turned her head, her brows furrowed, her eyes revealing an indescribable emotion—sadness? Reluctance? I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but there was a sense of déjà vu about it.

When I died in my past life, Jiang Yuwei seemed to have the same expression!

Jiang Yuwei's dark eyes stared into mine. "Are you serious?"

Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback, as if Jiang Yuwei would really do it if I said yes the next second!

I smiled and said, "What do you think?"

I really don't understand Jiang Yuwei. On one hand, she gives me the feeling that she doesn't care about Chen Yiran, but on the other hand, she is very tolerant of Chen Yiran.

This isn't the first time Chen Yiran has targeted me. Given Jiang Yuwei's personality, she wouldn't let Chen Yiran off so easily, yet she's done it time and time again.

Jiang Yuwei looked at me, her eyes darkening slightly. "Fine, I'll make him disappear."

Can?!

My pupils dilated slightly. I had thought she would make up an excuse to brush me off, but I didn't expect her to agree.

But looking at Jiang Yuwei's furrowed brows, I suddenly felt that all of this was meaningless. It was as if she had made this decision out of helplessness and coercion.

"Alright," I said coldly. "I was just saying it casually. You don't need to put on this half-dead act for me. I know you can't bear to part with him."

I've been getting along really well with Jiang Yuwei these days, which makes me a little disoriented. Jiang Yuwei and Chen Yiran's relationship isn't simple; they're the real male and female leads.

I'm just her ex-husband; Jiang Yuwei and Chen Yiran are inseparable.

Once I'm fully recovered, I'll go far away. Then Jiang Yuwei and Chen Yiran can do whatever they want; out of sight, out of mind.

Jiang Yuwei frowned. "Ye Qiu, I didn't..."

Before she could finish speaking, I interrupted her and looked at Zhang Yan, "Zhang Yan, I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to sleep for a while. Call me when it's time for dinner."

With that, I stood up and walked upstairs without looking back.

Zhang Yan sensed something was wrong and quickly followed.

Without hesitation, I turned and went upstairs, not looking at Jiang Yuwei again.

As we reached the corner of the stairs, he whispered to me, "Sir, Mr. Jiang has been looking at you the whole time, and he seemed a little sad."

"I think President Jiang must be serious. He thought you really wanted to make someone disappear, which is why he hesitated. After all, that's illegal! Men are very serious, and so am I. Sometimes my partner even wants to dump me."

Listening to Zhang Yan's half-joking words, I didn't feel relaxed at all.

If Jiang Yuwei had truly considered these things, she wouldn't have targeted Gu Mengmeng. She simply couldn't bear to harm Chen Yiran.

"You're overthinking it." I shook my head. "Your CEO Jiang is simply sentimental; he just can't bear to let go!"
