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

I shook my head, dismissing the thought. Impossible. Even if I didn't hate her, I would never fall in love with her.

An unnamed anger surged within me. "Go tell her to get out of here. If she wants to get rained on, she should go somewhere else. If she dies here, no one will even collect her body!"

Zhang Yan was startled by my sudden change of expression. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly nodded, packed his things, and left.

I drew the curtains tightly shut, then slumped onto the sofa, repeatedly telling myself: It's impossible for me to still like Jiang Yuwei, absolutely impossible.

It must be because I spent a lot of time with her recently that I instinctively treated her as a friend and showed her more concern.

As long as I stay far away from her during this period, I'm sure I'll hate her just as much as before.

Zhang Yan returned a few minutes later, saying that Jiang Yuwei still didn't want to leave.

I couldn't be bothered with it and tidied up to go to sleep. As a result, Gu's mother sent me more than a dozen messages, almost all of them blaming me and questioning why I brought Jiang Yuwei over.

I frowned and gave her a brief explanation.

But I don't know if Gu's mother really didn't understand or didn't want to understand. She kept blaming me and even said a lot of hurtful things.

I can understand that she feels sorry for Gu Mengmeng, but I'm still a little unhappy. Instead of talking to Jiang Yuwei about this, she took out all her anger on me!

I knew she was really upset, so I could only patiently comfort her. Just when she seemed to be calming down, she called me again, and I answered without thinking.

Xu Yikang's roaring voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ye Qiu, do you know how badly you beat Gu Mengmeng? She suffered a concussion!!! This will affect her brain. She's an actress; how will she act in the future? Just how badly do you intend to harm her before you stop?!"

Listening to Xu Yikang's harsh accusations, I frowned. It was clearly Jiang Yuwei who did the hitting, so how did he make it sound like "we"?

"Xu Yikang, which eye of yours saw that I'm in cahoots with Jiang Yuwei? I think you haven't been thinking straight lately, I suggest you make an appointment and get checked out!"

I can't understand why Xu Yikang, who used to be so positive and optimistic, now treats me like a villainous supporting character after listening to Chen Yiran.

Love can make people blind, but it doesn't make them stupid.

Xu Yikang's voice was hoarse, "Ye Qiu, stop struggling. Everything is destined and cannot be changed. I'm begging you, for Gu Mengmeng's sake, for everyone's sake, just stay far away from us and never appear in front of us again, okay?"

Hearing Xu Yikang's words, I wasn't angry, just heartbroken.

Our friendship of over ten years has actually come to this.

But what did I do wrong? Just because of one sentence from Chen Yiran, I became a bad person.

I said coldly, "No way! I didn't do anything wrong, and don't try to morally blackmail me. We used to be friends, but from now on, we'll go our separate ways! Stay away from Chen Yiran and take care of yourself."

After saying that, I hung up the phone before Xu Yikang could reply!

Last time he and Chen Yiran teamed up to lie to me, I just thought he made a mistake because he was blindly doing something wrong for Gu Mengmeng. I couldn't be friends with him, but at least I didn't feel disgusted with him.

But this time I've made up my mind that I will not contact Gu Mengmeng or Xu Yikang again. Let's all just go our separate ways!

I put my phone down and prepared to sleep. There was a small nightlight installed in the room, which was easy on the eyes but still allowed me to see the room's furnishings.

I frowned slightly as I looked towards the window, turned over, and closed my eyes to sleep.

Half-asleep, I heard the sound of an ambulance, and then I felt myself in the corridor of the emergency room. Doctors and nurses were pushing a stretcher towards the emergency room. I glanced at it and saw Jiang Yuwei lying on it, covered in blood, without moving!

I tried to go in, but the doctor stopped me, and I could only watch helplessly as the emergency room door closed. I sat on a chair outside, trembling, and waited.

I don't know how much time passed before the doctor came out and shook his head at me.

I looked at the emergency room in disbelief, and my whole body instantly collapsed to the ground. "No, no, Jiang Yuwei, Jiang Yuwei!"

I suddenly sat up in bed and realized I was still in the room, which slowly calmed me down.

The dream I just had was so real. For a moment, I really felt my heart aching and broke out in a cold sweat.

A flash of lightning streaked across the window, and I instinctively looked over. The image of Jiang Yuwei covered in blood from my dream resurfaced in my mind.

I picked up my phone and glanced at it. It was almost 11 o'clock. More than three hours had passed. She should have gone home long ago!

The rain outside had stopped, so I got out of bed and wanted to open the window to let in some fresh air.

As soon as I drew back the curtains, I saw Jiang Yuwei still standing there in the same spot!

I was slightly taken aback, and then I was immediately furious. Did she think she wouldn't get sick?

I pursed my lips, picked up my coat, and went downstairs. As soon as I got down, I ran into the housekeeper carrying a glass of milk.

Upon seeing me, the butler was initially surprised, but then smiled politely. "Young master, are you getting up for a drink of water? There's a call bell by your bedside; just have someone bring it up to you if you need anything."

My uncle had this call bell installed before I arrived, saying he was worried about my mobility.

I gave an awkward laugh, unsure how to respond, and quickly hid my coat behind my back.

If my uncle finds out I went to see Jiang Yuwei, he'll definitely be angry.

The butler seemed to sense that I didn't want to talk. "Young Master, please get some rest after you're done. I'll head over now."

Hearing this, I felt relieved and nodded vigorously.

After watching the person walk away, I hurriedly put on my coat and went out.

Before I even reached the gate, Jiang Yuwei had already spotted me and walked quickly toward me. By the time I opened the gate, she was already standing in front of me.

The person in front of me was soaking wet, with water droplets clinging to their long eyelashes, and their dark, obsidian-like eyes staring at me without blinking.

I looked at her impatiently, "What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Yuwei frowned slightly, her voice hoarse, "Ye Qiu, come back with me. I'll take good care of you! I'm worried about you staying here!"

I was speechless. "Jiang Yuwei, get this straight, this is my uncle's house. What's there to be worried about?"

Jiang Yuwei's voice was calm, "It's not that I'm worried about my uncle, it's that I'm worried about you. Who knows if you'll secretly go abroad with Gu Mengmeng behind my back one day..."
