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

I immediately flew into a rage, stood up abruptly, and forced myself to suppress the urge to hit her. I yelled at the top of my lungs, "Jiang Yuwei!"

That's so tasteless of her! She actually gossiped about Gu Mengmeng behind her back!

Gu Mengmeng broke her leg because of me, so no one has the right to point fingers at her in front of me!

She narrowed her eyes, her words laced with barbs: "I kissed you and tried to take off your clothes just now, and you hit me out of shyness and anger. Now I've only said a few words, and you're already trying to hit me again. What's wrong? You're getting angry now that I've exposed your secret?"

I took a deep breath and said, slowly and deliberately, "Her leg has recovered!"

Jiang Yuwei's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes so cold they could freeze a person: "So, after you divorce me, you plan to marry her?"

For some reason, I sensed a suppressed tension in her words.

But I knew in my heart that it was just a woman's possessiveness towards a man. Even a pet, people expect it to be loyal.

I said with a straight face, "You don't need to ask so many questions. If you don't want me to involve Chen Yiran, then don't drag Gu Mengmeng into it either, and don't bully her. You have people you want to protect, and so do I. I'm just asking you, is this reason enough for you to consider divorce?"

The air seemed to freeze for a long time, and no one uttered a sound.

Jiang Yuwei looked down at me, her eyes gradually dimming, a cold smile curling at the corner of her mouth, full of hostility.

"Don't compare your disabled girlfriend to Chen Yiran. She's not good enough for Chen Yiran, and neither are you. You're just a pretty face. I kept you because I liked you, but now you're causing trouble every day, so I'll throw you away."

"Once this collaboration is finalized, we'll go back to China and get a divorce immediately—"

When she said the first half of that sentence, I really wanted to slap her across the face. What does it matter to her what I do with Gu Mengmeng, whether her leg is okay or not, or whether I'm just a decoration? She should mind her own business and her relationship with Chen Yiran. She talks too much nonsense.

But when I heard the second half of the sentence, my heart skipped a beat, and then an overwhelming joy surged up inside me.

Jiang Yuwei actually softened; she finally agreed to divorce me!

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at her with a relaxed expression, and smiled.

"Fine, once the cooperation is over, we'll go back to China and get a divorce. Whoever doesn't get a divorce is a coward."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei's gaze towards me grew even colder and more ruthless, like a dark flame about to burst forth.

Just then, my phone rang. I looked at it and saw that it was Gu Mengmeng calling.

A cold laugh suddenly rang in my ear. The voice was still so deep and chilling. Even though it didn't say anything, I felt a chill run down my spine.

I couldn't be bothered to guess what Jiang Yuwei was thinking, so I reached for my phone and squinted at her.

"And Jiang Yuwei, even if I'm the worst decoration, I still have a temper. Goodbye and don't come back."

Jiang Yuwei stared at me expressionlessly, her brows furrowed. In the end, she said nothing, turned around, slammed the door, and left.

The room fell silent, except for the incessant ringing of cell phones.

I sat down again and answered the phone: "Gu Mengmeng."

Gu Mengmeng's voice was clear and cool, but with a hint of laughter, sounding quite gentle: "I saw your message. How are you doing? Are you getting used to life in France? No problems adjusting to the new environment?"

I was enjoying my almost cold steak while chatting with Gu Mengmeng. The food was getting cold after my argument with Jiang Yuwei, but the thought of our impending divorce made me feel much better.

I replied casually, "It's fine, I'm adapting well. What are you doing?"

"I just finished cooking and was about to eat. How is Uncle? Is his heart still bothering him?"

"He's much better. Yikang will go see him in a few days. My people at the company will also be keeping an eye on him. Uncle will be fine."

At this point, I suddenly hesitated and asked cautiously, "Gu Mengmeng, how is your leg?"

In my past life, Gu Mengmeng didn't meet me as soon as she does now, so I don't know when her leg recovered. But I think if she needs a follow-up check-up, it might be because the doctor is worried, meaning Gu Mengmeng's body hasn't fully recovered yet.

Gu Mengmeng laughed out loud, her voice clear and crisp: "Here we go again. You're not a little rabbit, why are you so careful when you talk to me? The doctor said my leg is recovering quite well. Don't overexert yourself, don't do any heavy physical work, and walking normally is no problem."

Hearing this, I felt much more at ease, and my eyes crinkled with laughter. As long as Gu Mengmeng's leg recovers on time, I'm willing to be a vegetarian for ten years.

"Okay, how long are you going to stay abroad? I'll probably be here for about half a month. If we have enough time, we can go back to China together."

Gu Mengmeng didn't answer immediately. After a moment of silence, she said gently, "Ye Qiu, someone wants to recruit me and promote me as an artist. I've checked, and it's a pretty big and reliable entertainment company. If I go there, maybe a lot of people will see me. What do you think? Should I go?"

"An artist? Does that mean she has to make her way in the entertainment industry?" I was stunned when I heard that, because this never happened in my previous life. But I didn't deliberately try to change anything, and everyone's trajectory still followed the path of our previous lives. So, did Gu Mengmeng reject this opportunity in her previous life?

I could tell from her voice that she was somewhat tempted. Besides, Gu Mengmeng's appearance was exactly the sweet style that everyone liked these days. Why would she have rejected her in her past life?

"You're so beautiful, if you're interested, why not give it a try?"

Gu Mengmeng was a little conflicted: "I'm just afraid that once I enter the entertainment industry, I'll drift further and further away from you guys, since I won't be able to control my schedule and everything."

Because of this, she actually gave up such a good opportunity in her past life?

I felt both heartbroken and amused. How could Gu Mengmeng be so foolish? Even though Yikang and I were very close, we almost gave up on each other. But she never thought of giving up on our friendship.

My heart softened: "Are you worried that once you become famous, it will be hard to see us anymore? That's easy. Once you become famous, I'll secretly be your assistant, and we'll see each other every day."

"Let Yikang talk to you about the endorsement deal, that way we can see each other more often!"

Gu Mengmeng seemed to laugh; her laughter was crisp and cheerful.

I continued to encourage her: "Gu Mengmeng, just go for it! Life is short, you have to fight for your dreams and shine on your own stage! Besides, I can't wait for us to meet at the top. Don't overthink it, just go for it."

In our past life, she sacrificed so much for me, and I also caused her a lot of trouble. In this life, I hope she can walk the path she was meant to walk, and stop risking everything for me.

Gu Mengmeng repeated my words, seemingly lost in thought, before smiling gently and saying, "Okay."

I quickly chimed in, "Then I'm your number one fan now!"

Gu Mengmeng smiled even more happily: "Send me your address, and I'll come find you once I've arranged everything."

I told her about the hotel I was staying at, and she sounded very happy. She muttered to herself, "If I stand in the brightest spot, maybe you'll see me then..."

I didn't quite hear the second half of the sentence, and just as I was about to ask, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door: "Sir, are you resting?"
