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

Gu Mengmeng retorted, "Fine, you'd better kill me, or I'll kill you."

The atmosphere suddenly plummeted to freezing point. Jiang Yuwei's eyes were terrifyingly sinister, as if she were about to devour Gu Mengmeng alive at any moment.

I know Jiang Yuwei's fighting ability well. She fights as if she has received professional training. When Gu Mengmeng's leg was healed, she might have been able to exchange a few blows with her, but now that Gu Mengmeng's leg is injured, she is no match for Jiang Yuwei at all.

I instinctively reached out and grabbed Jiang Yuwei's arm.

"You're coming with me now!"

In this situation, the best course of action is to take one of them away.

Jiang Yuwei glanced at me with a complicated expression, gently pushed my hand away, quickly walked to the bedside, and grabbed Gu Mengmeng by the collar.

"Gu Mengmeng, this is my last warning to you: stay away from Ye Qiu!"

Jiang Yuwei's gaze was so cold it sent chills down one's spine.

Gu Mengmeng looked at her disdainfully, while Jiang Yuwei raised an eyebrow and sneered:

"That's true. You're a useless person now, so death might be a relief for you. I just don't know if your parents can handle the hardship! Tell me, if I ruin your family's company, what will happen to your parents? Will they have to sweep the streets or work as cleaners?"

"Jiang Yuwei!" Gu Mengmeng pushed Jiang Yuwei away, her eyes bloodshot. "You dare to touch my parents!"

Jiang Yuwei stepped forward again, but I stopped her first.

I stood in front of Gu Mengmeng, while Jiang Yuwei's fist hovered in mid-air, her dark, deep eyes fixed on me, her anger growing stronger.

The hand trembled slightly in mid-air, held its position for a moment, and finally lowered its fist. I breathed a sigh of relief; otherwise, I might not have been able to stop that punch.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like Jiang Yuwei's eyes are a little red.

How could this be? Why would Jiang Yuwei want to cry? It can't be because I'm protecting Mengmeng, right?

Without thinking, I immediately warned, "Jiang Yuwei, if you dare to lay a hand on your uncle and aunt, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

I already owe Gu Mengmeng so much, I can't bear to see Gu's parents get into trouble.

Jiang Yuwei's face was terrifyingly grim. "Ye Qiu, are you stupid? She's already drugged you, and you're still protecting her!"

No, is Jiang Yuwei mentally challenged or deaf? I'm clearly defending my uncle and aunt.

“Gu Mengmeng saved my life, of course I can’t just stand by and watch…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yuwei suddenly shouted angrily, "So, Ye Qiu, are you going to spend your whole life entangled with her, unable to distinguish right from wrong?"

"Gu Mengmeng said she would forgive her even if you knew she had drugged her, and now it seems she was absolutely right. But since you're so magnanimous, why don't you know how to repay me for saving your life several times?"

Upon hearing this, I was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Yuwei's behavior at this moment resembled that of a child who had been treated unfairly, whose long-suppressed emotions finally erupted.

I admit that I have been prejudiced against Jiang Yuwei ever since I was reborn.

No matter what she does, I always feel that she has ulterior motives, and I always try to pretend not to see her kindness towards me.

Thinking about it carefully, I realize that what I did to Jiang Yuwei was indeed very unfair.

If the same thing that Jiang Yuwei did to save me had happened to Gu Mengmeng, I'm afraid I would spend my whole life with Gu Mengmeng, even if we didn't get married, just as friends, and I would carry these things in my heart for the rest of my life.

But when it's Jiang Yuwei, I feel at ease and find all sorts of reasons to ignore these things.

I lowered my eyes, unsure how to reply.

At that moment, a cold voice rang out from behind, "Because all these hardships were brought about by you, caused by your not being with Chen Yiran. I am the one who should be with Ye Qiu."

Jiang Yuwei, who had calmed down a little, suddenly exploded again. She pulled me away and threw a punch at Gu Mengmeng.

"Then I'll beat you to death and see how you manage to covet him."

"Jiang Yuwei, stop!" I said as I stepped forward to break up the fight.

Secretary Li pulled me back, saying, "Sir, be careful not to hurt yourself!"

Secretary Li said she was worried about me, but she was actually helping Jiang Yuwei.

Gu Mengmeng couldn't move her legs, and could only fight Jiang Yuwei with her hands. She couldn't dodge at all, let alone gain the upper hand. She was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Yuwei.

I was held back by Secretary Li, and could only stand aside anxiously. "Jiang Yuwei, stop right now! I told you to stop, didn't you hear me!"

Suddenly, a gasp came from outside the door.

"What are you doing!" Xu Yikang stood at the door, the takeout food he had brought back fell directly to the ground.

I looked at Xu Yikang and said urgently, "Quickly go and stop Jiang Yuwei!"

Xu Yikang snapped out of his daze and rushed forward, only to be pushed away by Jiang Yuwei.

Gu Mengmeng's face was covered in bruises, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. If the beating continued, who knew what might happen?

I turned to Secretary Li and almost shouted, "Let go!"

Secretary Li was momentarily distracted, and I took the opportunity to push her away and hug Jiang Yuwei. "Jiang Yuwei, if you're going to hit Gu Mengmeng, hit me too!"

Jiang Yuwei froze for a few seconds, then I pulled her back two steps.

Xu Yikang walked up to Gu Mengmeng and, without even taking a tissue, wiped her mouth with his hand.

Looking at Gu Mengmeng with a face full of heartache, she turned and glared fiercely at Jiang Yuwei.

"Jiang Yuwei, what are you doing? Why are you hitting Gu Mengmeng!"

Jiang Yuwei waved her hand expressionlessly. "Because she deserved it. Xu Yikang, keep an eye on Gu Mengmeng. This is just a small lesson; next time it won't be so easy!"

Xu Yikang's eyes reddened. "I know you're powerful and wealthy, Mr. Jiang, and you don't care about ordinary people like us. But even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If you dare to do anything to Gu Mengmeng, I promise you'll regret it."

After saying that, Xu Yikang gave me a meaningful look!

The moment our eyes met, I was startled. Xu Yikang's eyes were full of resentment, as if he were looking at a long-time enemy.

I know that Xu Yikang doesn't like me because of Gu Mengmeng, but we've been friends for many years. Even if we can't be friends, we won't become enemies.

But the look in Xu Yikang's eyes at that moment truly sent chills down my spine.

But then I thought it was impossible. I know Xu Yikang's personality; at most, he'd just get angry. I must be being too sensitive lately to have this misconception.

While he was still in a daze, Xu Yikang shouted angrily, "Ye Qiu, you not only ruined Gu Mengmeng's leg, but you also brought Jiang Yuwei to the hospital to humiliate her. Do you have any conscience at all!"

Don't you think you're disgusting?
