If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Jiang Wanjun remained silent, like an old monk in deep meditation, her eyes fixed on her nose, her nose on her heart.

She called them over but didn't say anything, and neither Zhu Tingyue nor Shen Yanqiu dared to speak rashly.

Zhu's mother looked at them all, then smiled and said, "I'm going to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. You can chat for a while."

After she left, the scene remained silent.

Shen Yanqiu sensed something was wrong and asked Jiang Wanjun, "Why did you send someone over? Just say what you have to say!"

"It's nothing. Didn't you say you didn't like Shen Yanqiu? Now just tell him to his face, so as not to delay him from climbing the social ladder."

She's serious!

Shen Yanqiu was in a real bind. How could he possibly say this? If he actually did, wouldn't Zhu Tingyue punch him and beat him to a pulp?

He hesitated, glancing at Zhu Tingyue, who was looking at him. Jiang Wanyun had called him over just to have "Zhu Tingyue" say she didn't like him? Had she lost her mind? Why was she meddling in other people's business like this?

Looking at Shen Yanqiu, he was clearly hesitant, but given Jiang Wanjun's personality, he had to speak up today, otherwise no one could leave!

Since that's the case, there's no difference between Shen Yanqiu saying it and me saying it.

“Oh, is that so! I don’t like Miss Zhu either!” she said bluntly.

When Jiang Wanjun heard her admit it without hesitation, her eyes became meaningful.

Shen Yanqiu couldn't quite describe her feelings, but it certainly wasn't happiness.

He had always known in his heart that Zhu Tingyue did not have any special feelings for him.

However, this mere "knowing" is worlds apart from hearing her say those hurtful words with her own ears.

When those cold, emotionless words came out of Zhu Tingyue's mouth, they were like sharp daggers piercing straight into his heart, causing him an excruciating pain.

"Any thing else?"

Zhu Tingyue looked at Jiang Wanjun. She had never thought that this friend was so good at causing trouble. Didn't she see that Shen Yanqiu was unwilling to say anything?

After she finished speaking, Shen Yanqiu lowered his head, and she couldn't see the expression on his face. Was he crying because he was sad?

Zhu Tingyue suddenly felt bad. Although she had never said she liked him before, it was still too hurtful to say she didn't like him to his face!

Forget it, with a formidable enemy at hand, let's deal with Jiang Wanjun first, and explain to Shen Yanqiu later.

"Shen Yanqiu, you're quite something! You just broke up with Yueyue and immediately hooked up with Chen Can? She's even more generous than Yueyue? How much money is she paying you?"

Jiang Wanjun's tone was disdainful, showing utter contempt for Shen Yanqiu.

"I didn't, that's a rumor." Zhu Tingyue looked at Shen Yanqiu. He could vouch for her, and besides, what use would it be for a woman like her to seduce Chen Can?

"Hmph, whether it's a rumor or not, you can explain it to Yueyue yourself!" Jiang Wanyun stood up and left.

Once she was sure she was far away, Zhu Tingyue approached Shen Yanqiu, who leaned back as if they were strangers.

What's wrong? Are you really angry? All you did was say you didn't like him. He could have just said it back!

"Are you angry?" Zhu Tingyue asked him.

Shen Yanqiu turned her head away from her and didn't say anything.

"Don't believe her. She's talking complete nonsense; not a single word of it is true."

"Xu Qingjia was also made up by her?" Shen Yanqiu finally asked.

Zhu Tingyue fell silent, not understanding why he brought up this person again. She had already said that the two of them had no relationship now, why did he still ask!

Her behavior spoke volumes. Shen Yanqiu was truly heartbroken, a hundred or a thousand times more heartbroken than when she had just said she didn't like him.

"Go away, I don't want to see you."

Shen Yanqiu is kicking me out? Has he gotten so bold lately? And this is my own home!

"Why should I leave if I'm not going?"

"If you don't leave, I'll leave!"

Shen Yanqiu rolled her wheelchair forward with difficulty.

"Sigh, I'm leaving, okay?" Zhu Tingyue sighed, she was really exasperated with him, how come she never realized he was so stubborn before.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Let's talk this out! Why are you angry?" Jiang Wanjun appeared out of nowhere, pretending to be a peacemaker.

Zhu Tingyue felt like she had been cursed for eight hundred lifetimes to have made a friend like this!

She'd only seen her twice, and Shen Yanqiu had argued with her twice, each time with her fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire. With that kind of talent, she might as well become a chef!

She wasn't embarrassed that no one paid attention to her. She walked up to Zhu Tingyue, leaned closer, and looked into her eyes as if searching for something.

Zhu Tingyue instinctively knew she should back away, so she took a step back and sat directly on the sofa. Jiang Wanyun laughed at her, "I was just looking at you, and look how scared you are. You're such a coward?"

Zhu Tingyue said irritably, without even looking at her, "It's just small."

"What does it matter to me whether it's a small matter or not? How can you say that in broad daylight?"

What's going on? Is that what I meant?

What's wrong with Jiang Wanyun? She's "Shen Yanqiu" now, and she's saying such things to her face?

Zhu Tingyue was angry with Jiang Wanjun, but Shen Yanqiu blushed. Although he was in Zhu Tingyue's body, he still considered himself Shen Yanqiu, so he felt that he was the one in question.

Jiang Wanyun said he was young? How did she know? Did Zhu Tingyue tell her? Zhu Tingyue even told her such private things? What else did she not know about him? Saying it to his face was too hurtful to his male pride!

Each of them was lost in their own thoughts. Jiang Wanjun smiled knowingly and waved to them, saying, "I'm leaving now. I'll come back another day."

Zhu Tingyue wanted to shout back at her: Don't come anymore, let's break up!

Shen Yanqiu had the same idea and also wanted to get rid of Zhu Tingyue.

Jiang Wanjun has left, but the awkwardness from earlier lingers.

Zhu Tingyue was ashamed that her friend was such a scoundrel. It was one thing to say it casually, but now that the person in question was still alive, she actually said it out loud.

People say, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." With a friend like Jiang Wanyun, you can imagine what her reputation will be like. She's an innocent person, yet she's been dragged down by her!

Zhu Tingyue remained silent, ignoring Shen Yanqiu's expression, and hurriedly said goodbye to her mother before leaving.

Looking at the empty living room, Zhu's mother asked Shen Yanqiu, "Why did they all leave? They haven't even tasted the soup I made!"

"They're just unlucky; I'll drink it all!"

Shen Yanqiu looked at the soup in front of her and wished she could go back ten minutes and slap herself: Drink it all, drink it all, you'll burst if you don't!

I've drunk more soup in the last two days than I have in the past twenty years, and today's soup was especially plentiful!

"If you can't finish it, that's fine, don't force yourself," Zhu's mother advised him.

"No, I can drink, really," he insisted.

Shen Yanqiu burped and sipped the soup slowly, but felt like vomiting as soon as he got close to the bowl. He never wanted to drink soup again! No soup at all!
