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

Jiang's mother almost choked on her breath, staring at Jiang Yuwei speechlessly.

I looked at Jiang Yuwei, and her expression didn't seem like she was just saying it casually; she really meant to send the person away.

I was slightly lost in thought. During this time, Jiang Yuwei had indeed protected me in everything and put me first.

Her deep affection moved me, but also left me somewhat bewildered.

Jiang's mother was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. "Yuwei, that's your father, how could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she glared at me fiercely again, as if it were all my fault.

I couldn't help but find it a little funny. With Jiang's mother's personality of always finding fault with others, it's no wonder that Jiang Yichen turned out the way he did.

Jiang Yuwei ignored her mother's accusations and instead naturally took my hand, our fingers intertwined.

“In my heart, Ye Qiu is the most important person. If you insist on making things difficult for him, then you are deliberately going against me.”

Jiang's mother choked and couldn't speak. She gritted her teeth and said, "I... I really didn't mean to. It was Ye Qiu who went too far, and I couldn't hold back. It won't happen again!"

Although Jiang's mother said those things, her eyes told me that she was not truly repentant.

I stared at her with a mocking look; she was quite adaptable.

Jiang Yuwei didn't seem to want to hear what she was saying, and turned to look at me, "Going back to eat?"

Then it dawned on me that my uncle must be furious right now. How am I going to explain this to him when I get back? Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

I immediately got angry and shook off Jiang Yuwei's hand, "Mind your own business!"

As I spoke, I turned and walked towards the villa. Jiang Yuwei tried to follow, but I immediately stopped her, saying, "You're not allowed to come in."

I thought for a moment and added, "My uncle isn't well, and he doesn't want to see you right now. You should leave quickly. If you upset him, I won't let you off the hook."

Jiang Yuwei stood still, but gave me a deep look.

I turned and went back into the house. Behind me, Jiang's mother was still adding fuel to the fire, but Jiang Yuwei sternly stopped her.

As soon as I entered the living room, I sensed that something was wrong. My uncle was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

I greeted him with a smile, "Uncle!"

As she was about to go upstairs, her uncle called out to her, "Wait, come here first."

I pursed my lips, silently retracted my foot that had just stepped onto the stairs, and walked heavily to my uncle's side, asking knowingly, "Uncle, did you want to see me?"

My uncle said calmly, "Please sit down first."

I sat down carefully, silently cursing Jiang Yuwei countless times in my mind.

My uncle turned slightly, looked at me, and said earnestly, "What exactly is the situation between you and that girl now?"

I chuckled awkwardly. "Nothing's wrong, we're just... just ordinary friends!"

"Just a friend?" Uncle clearly didn't believe it. "You let a just friend go upstairs and stay overnight?"

I whispered, "Yesterday, wasn't it raining yesterday? I was worried something might happen to her near our door, and that would be bad for you!"

The uncle sighed softly, "Ye Qiu, your uncle has been through this. These kinds of things are only for silly kids like Caiwei. Tell your uncle the truth, do you still have feelings for Jiang Yuwei?"

I was stunned. I didn't expect my uncle to see things so clearly.

Before yesterday, I would have denied it without hesitation. But last night I thought about it a lot, and I can no longer deceive myself. I do have feelings for Jiang Yuwei.

Seeing that I didn't speak, a worried look crept onto my uncle's face. "I knew it. I had a feeling when you stopped me from calling the police last time. I thought you were just being soft-hearted, but now it seems... sigh."

The uncle continued, "That girl Jiang Yuwei is quite capable and pretty. But you need to think carefully about whether you can truly let bygones be bygones. You're both young, and you have a long life ahead of you. Can you really spend your whole lives together?"

Have you thought all of this through?

I lowered my eyes. I couldn't say for sure whether we could spend our lives together. But I was definitely starting to feel something for Jiang Yuwei.

Seeing that I kept my head down and didn't say anything, my uncle seemed to understand something.

“You’re all grown up now. You need to think about many things yourself. If you really want to be with her, your uncle won’t say anything more.”

Before I could speak, my uncle continued, "If she makes you unhappy, just tell your uncle and I'll settle the score with her. If you're happy, stay with her; if you're unhappy, come back anytime. With your uncle here, you don't have to worry about anything."

Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly welled up with tears. I had thought my uncle would be very angry and would blame me for not learning my lesson, but I didn't expect that he was just worried that I hadn't thought things through.

I rushed forward and hugged my uncle, my voice trembling with tears, and said, "Uncle, thank you."

He has always been so tolerant of me, even better than my parents.

My uncle patted my back reassuringly, "We're all family, no need for thanks. I'll talk to Caiwei this afternoon and ask her to change her attitude towards Jiang Yuwei. However, I think even if we don't confront her directly, we shouldn't be too nice to her, lest she bully you in the future."

I lowered my head. "Actually, I haven't decided whether to accept her or not. I'm still struggling with it."

Being with Jiang Yuwei means facing Chen Yiran and her parents. Although Jiang Yuwei handled these two situations quite well, I still have some doubts.

The uncle nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. You should think about this yourself. Whether you accept it or not, I respect your choice. Just remember to do what you want to do. No matter what happens, the family will support you."

I nodded vigorously, tears welling up in my eyes.

I spent the rest of the day thinking about Jiang Yuwei. Finally, I decided to give myself two weeks to seriously consider whether or not I should be with her.

I thought Jiang Yuwei would come over tonight, but she didn't. She just sent me a message asking if I had eaten properly.

There must be something very important at the company, otherwise, given Jiang Yuwei's stubborn personality, she would have come long ago.

That night, I had insomnia again, and it took me a long time to fall asleep.

I didn't feel very well when I woke up the next day.

While they were having breakfast, Secretary Li arrived. The uncle didn't even look up. In his eyes, Secretary Li represented Jiang Yuwei, and it was already quite a favor that he let her in.

Secretary Li politely put down the bags and packages. "Sir, this is some food that General Manager Jiang brought for you, some tea for Mr. Bai, and a chess set."

As she spoke, she cautiously glanced at her uncle.

The uncle didn't say anything, or even raise his head, which could be considered a form of tacit approval.

Bai Caiwei looked at me, then at her uncle, and threw down her chopsticks. "You're making me lose my appetite so early in the morning, as if no one can afford it. I'm full, I'm going out to run some errands."

Secretary Li remained calm upon hearing this, showing no anger at Bai Caiwei's words.

I thought about it for a moment, but I couldn't help asking, "Where's Jiang Yuwei?"

Secretary Li looked somewhat troubled, and hesitated before saying, "President Jiang... she's in the hospital."
