In my past life, apart from Jiang Yuwei, I almost never paid attention to anyone else, especially women.

But the lawyer's surname reminded me of Jiang Yuwei's nemesis—the sworn enemy she's fought with since childhood.

Both families originated from super-family enterprises and were involved in both business and politics. However, the Lin family was different from the Jiang family. The patriarch of the Lin family was a womanizer, and in addition to his legal wife, he had many mistresses, all of whom bore him children, making the family's power and influence extremely extensive.

Could it be such a coincidence? Yi Kang helped me by helping Jiang Yuwei's arch-enemy? But it doesn't matter, as long as we can get a divorce.

Lin Chuyue quickly accepted my WeChat friend request. I spoke to her as I would to any other lawyer, getting straight to the point and stating my needs, including, of course, mentioning Jiang Yuwei's name.

I'm afraid she'll be like other lawyers, terrified at the mere mention of Jiang Yuwei's name.

Lin Chuyue quickly replied simply, "Mr. Ye, I am very interested in your case. I'm a bit busy today. I wonder when you'd be free tomorrow? We can meet and discuss it in detail."

I was overjoyed, as if I could see the dawn of victory just ahead. I jumped to my feet and excitedly replied, "Anytime tomorrow is fine!"

Damn! Finally, someone isn't afraid of the powerful and wealthy! As long as they can get a divorce, any time is fine!

Hmph! That bitch Jiang Yuwei, she'd never imagine anyone would dare take her divorce case!

Lin Chuyue: "Then let's talk tomorrow at noon, we can have lunch and chat at the same time."

"Okay." I had no objections and felt incredibly happy after setting the time. I got out of bed, humming a little tune as I went to take a shower. When I saw my handsome face in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile.

It wasn't because of the joy of divorce, but simply because I really wanted to slap Jiang Yuwei in the face!

She blocked my path, bullied me, and assumed that I was like Sun Wukong, who was firmly pressed under the Five Finger Mountain by her. No matter how I struggled, I could not escape her palm and could not stir up any trouble.

But little did she know that Ye Qiu, reborn and back, would stop at nothing to break free from her control.

Early in the morning, as soon as I stepped into the office, I saw Meng Ziyin sitting blankly at her workstation. Her fair and pretty face was full of confusion, and her eyes were staring straight at her phone screen, as if she had lost her soul.

I casually placed the coffee on the table, and out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at her phone screen. The contact list prominently displayed the three characters "Chen Yiran".

A playful smile played on my lips as I turned on the computer. Meng Ziyin seemed to notice my movement, finally snapping out of her daze. She slowly turned her gaze to me, then abruptly stood up, her voice tinged with panic.

"Brother Ye Qiu, you're here."

I glanced at her sideways and sat down slowly. "What's wrong with you? You seem distracted."

Meng Ziyin's eyes were slightly red, her delicate red lips were tightly pursed, and she looked at me pitifully.

"Brother Ye Qiu, you just came back to work a couple of days ago, so I didn't dare ask too many questions. I wonder how you're feeling now. Could you tell me what exactly happened while you were abroad?"

I narrowed my eyes slightly. "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Meng Ziyin stared at me intently, her voice hoarse and suppressed.

“Chen Yiran hasn’t been talking to me lately. Yesterday I finally managed to contact one of his classmates, who said that Chen Yiran had run into trouble. First, he was robbed, and then it seems he got into even bigger trouble. He’s in the hospital now.”

"He also said that Chen Yiran has been with you the whole time, along with President Jiang. I just wanted to ask you..."

Ever since Jiang Yuwei caused a scene in my office last time, Meng Ziyin has known that my wife is her.

She already knew that Jiang Yuwei was Chen Yiran's benefactor, and now that the two of them were abroad together and had both suffered misfortune, it was no wonder that she was behaving so strangely today.

I took a small sip of coffee, my expression calm and composed.

"I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. If you want to know how Chen Yiran is doing, just call him. Aren't you two boyfriend and girlfriend? If you're worried about him, why wouldn't he answer your calls?"

Meng Ziyin remained silent for a moment before slowly lowering her head.

"Actually, we had a fight before he went abroad, especially the day I worked overtime and couldn't see him off at the airport, which made him even angrier. After he went abroad, he rarely talked to me, and he also likes to give me the silent treatment. Whenever we argued, he would ignore me for at least half a month. It was okay when we were in China; I could go to his school or the hospital where I was interning to make up with him, but now that he's abroad..."

I was startled and turned to look at her.

Although I couldn't see Meng Ziyin's expression, I could clearly feel her worry and fear.

At this moment, she raised her hand and gently wiped the corner of her eye, her voice faintly tinged with tears.

"The flight to the foreign country takes two days, so I need to take at least five days off. I've only been interning for a short time, so HR definitely won't approve it. Besides, the tickets are too expensive. I really have no choice but to ask him. He won't answer my calls, so I have to swallow my pride and ask Brother Ye Qiu."

Her words were filled with deep affection and compromise for Chen Yiran, as well as the helplessness and bitterness of being an ordinary person.

My feelings instantly became complicated.

Originally, I just wanted to stay out of it and handle my divorce with Jiang Yuwei. But now it seems that I can't just stand by and do nothing about it.

Previously, all I knew was that Jiang Yuwei was deeply in love with Chen Yiran, and I even heard that she would start interfering in Chen Yiran's life and forcibly take him away when she went abroad next time.

But now, Meng Ziyin's deep affection for Chen Yiran is so genuine. She is no longer the one-dimensional character in my mind, but a woman with flesh and blood, deeply devoted to love. It would be too tragic if Jiang Yuwei were to ruin her, causing her to lose both love and her lover.

I gently patted her arm. "Don't worry, Chen Yiran did encounter some trouble abroad, but Jiang Yuwei has already taken care of it. Those who bullied him will suffer the consequences. He should be fine. I feel he's still quite energetic."

"Really? He's alright?" Meng Ziyin looked up abruptly, her big eyes red from crying, with glistening tears still clinging to the corners.

I was incredibly surprised; she actually cried. How come other people's girlfriends care so much about their boyfriends, while mine...

I quickly interrupted my thoughts. I'm about to get a divorce, what's with all this talk about your home and my home?

"Well, really."

If Chen Yiran really had some serious problem, Jiang Yuwei wouldn't be in such a hurry to return to China.

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyin's face lit up with joy, as if her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, had suddenly settled, and she hugged me tightly.

"Thank you, Brother Ye Qiu! Thank you so much for telling me! What that classmate said was so scary, it kept me up all night. I'm so glad he's okay, so glad he's okay. He really scared me to death."

I was stunned. This young girl's love is too pure. Is it really necessary to get so excited?

Just as I was about to push her away, an even more astonished cry suddenly came from the doorway, "Brother-in-law..."

Meng Ziyin hurriedly let go of me, wiping away her tears in a flustered manner, and bowed respectfully to Li Ningsu at the door, "Hello, President Li."
