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

Without thinking, I asked, "Who's looking for me?"

The maid paused, looking troubled. "I didn't ask. She was a middle-aged woman, dressed very elegantly. She didn't say what she wanted to see you about, just that you should go out and see her right away."

I was slightly taken aback. A middle-aged woman?

These days, the only middle-aged woman I can think of is Aunt Gu, but she usually sends me messages when she needs something.

Could it be that Aunt Gu calmed down and realized she had been too emotional before, and was too embarrassed to call directly, so she came over in person?

I put down what I was holding and instructed Zhang Yan to take food up to Jiang Yuwei. She had a fever all night, and her body wouldn't be able to take it if she didn't eat.

Then, I went to the door alone and saw a familiar figure with their back to me, but I couldn't remember who it was for a moment. "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"

I had barely opened my mouth when the woman turned around, and I frowned sharply. "It's you?!"

The jewel-adorned Jiang's mother sized me up and down. "Ye Qiu, what kind of attitude is that? I'm Yuwei's mother, and I was once your mother-in-law. How dare you speak to me like that?"

mother in law?

My expression turned cold; the way she addressed me was incredibly sarcastic.

When has she ever treated me like a son-in-law? In her eyes, I'm not even as good as the household servants.

I said irritably, "Then what should I say? Ask you to get out of our doorstep? Does that sound nice?"

Jiang's mother's face turned ashen, and her gaze suddenly tightened as she looked at me.

I glanced back at her warily. Although she wouldn't gain the upper hand if I made a move, I still needed to be careful.

Jiang's mother took a deep breath and patiently asked, "Where is Yuwei?"

It turns out they came looking for Jiang Yuwei.

Normally, I would have thrown Jiang Yuwei out immediately and told them all to get lost.

But I don't want my uncle to worry about me right now, so I can't let Jiang Yuwei come out.

I said impatiently, "Are you kidding me? This is my home. Jiang Yuwei and I divorced a long time ago. If you want to find your daughter, go somewhere else."

After I finished speaking, I turned to go back, but Jiang's mother blocked my way.

"You make it sound nice, but don't think I don't know what you're really up to. You act all nonchalant, but secretly you're using all sorts of tricks to seduce Yuwei, making her so infatuated that she doesn't even go to the company anymore."

No wonder you came here looking for me; it seems you couldn't find me at the company.

I really didn't want to talk to her. "If she's not going to the company, you should ask her, not come here and question her ex-husband!"

"Besides, so many years have passed, haven't you learned to look for the reasons within yourself?"

I really don't understand why some people can go through so many years without making any progress or change in any other aspect besides getting older.

Jiang's mother looked at me with a livid face. "Me? What reason do I have? You're the one who should be reflecting on your actions. Look at the state you've raised Yuwei!"

My face suddenly darkened. I hadn't slept well because I had stayed up too late taking care of Jiang Yuwei last night, and I was already in a bad mood.

"Get your brain clean before you speak! Jiang Yuwei is almost thirty, not a child who hasn't been weaned! She was crooked for the first thirty years of her life, does she need anyone to guide her? It's ridiculous!"

I hate parents like Jiang's mother the most. If Jiang Yuwei does well, it's because they are good at teaching her. If she doesn't listen, it's because she's been led astray by others. They just find fault with others.

In this environment, it's already quite remarkable that Jiang Yuwei didn't turn out badly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother pointed at me with a fierce look in her eyes.

"You, how dare you speak to me like that? Ye Qiu, don't think you can do whatever you want just because Yuwei is protecting you. You can't possibly climb up to the Jiang family again! Not only will I disagree, but her father won't agree either!"

In the eyes of others, the Jiang family is indeed very powerful, a wealthy family that many men dream of climbing into.

But I've already tried to curry favor with them several times, and my illusions about the Jiang family have long since shattered. What kind of wealthy family is this? They're not even as humane as ordinary families; the biggest entanglement within them is self-interest.

I sneered, "Don't even dream about it! Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't go back! So I don't need your permission!"

Mother Jiang scoffed coldly, "It's best if you're not here. Our Jiang family can't afford a menace like you!"

I narrowed my eyes slightly. "If you dare to utter another word of nonsense, I'll use you to stretch my muscles!"

As I spoke, I deliberately flexed my hands. I had taught her a lesson before, but back then I hadn't divorced Jiang Yuwei, so I still had some reservations. Now, I had no such reservations.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother's expression changed slightly, but she still tried to remain calm.

"I'm not making this up. You've already divorced Yuwei, yet you still managed to incite her to kick her father out of the company, saying things like you wanted to cut all ties. What are you if not a menace?"

I frowned. "What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Yuwei's father values ​​power too much, but he feels that his own abilities are inferior to his daughter's. He is somewhat uncomfortable letting Jiang Yuwei take over the company, and he often causes trouble at the company.

But Jiang Yuwei's business skills were too strong, and what she did didn't cause any trouble in the company. Jiang Yuwei had been ignoring it, and I was also a little confused as to why she suddenly kicked her out.

Jiang's mother sneered, "It's all because you were blind and fell down the stairs. Yuwei blamed it on her father, saying it was to make him retire from the company, but in reality, it was to kick him out."

“Yuwei used to get angry, but she wouldn’t go to extremes. Now, because of you, she won’t answer the phone, won’t reply to messages, and even threatens to sever ties with her father. It’s all your fault, you jinx…”

I was stunned. I had investigated the incident where I fell down the stairs last time. It was true that those people were hired by Jiang Yuwei's father, but it was Chen Yiran who pushed me, and it had nothing to do with her father.

I never imagined that besides being so ruthless to Chen Yiran, she could also be so heartless to her own father.

Thinking about this, I had an indescribable feeling.

Seeing that I remained silent, Mother Jiang said coldly:

"Ye Qiu, aren't you feeling incredibly smug? Do you think that once you've got Yuwei under your control, the entire Jiang family is yours!"

"Let me tell you, dream on! Yuwei is only temporarily infatuated with you. One day she'll wake up, realize you're just a male vixen, and dump you!"
