The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Shen Heming's answer made Song Shuyue pause slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Heming reached out and rubbed her head, his tone gentle but with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright, I was just kidding. The matter of the arranged marriage is over."

Song Yanzhou stood aside and listened to their conversation without saying a word. He could tell that Shen Heming had feelings for his younger sister.

It's really like an old ox eating young grass, wishful thinking. He's even older than him. If he were to become his brother-in-law, Song Yanzhou couldn't believe it, but he had to admit that this person was extremely capable, and the Shen family had a prominent background.

Shen Heming and Song Shuyue entered together, a scene witnessed by Jiang Qianyun and the others. Jiang Qianyun glanced at Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was consumed by jealousy and glared at Song Shuyue with gritted teeth.

"Sister Gu, when Shen Heming was bedridden, you went everywhere to ask people for medical treatment. Now, the Shen family has repaid kindness with enmity and actually broke off the engagement with you."

In reality, there was no specific agreement between the two families for marriage, but Gu Yuqing kept saying that she was playing the role of Shen Heming's fiancée, and over time everyone believed that the two were engaged.

Gu Yuqing took a deep breath. "Qianyun, that's all in the past, let's not talk about it. Now we're just friends, and that's fine."

She gave Song Shuyue 100 million last time, and she still feels heartbroken when she thinks about it now. If it weren't for that brat Zhou Zhimei, she wouldn't have made a bet of 100 million for no reason. Her parents lectured her from beginning to end.

"I think you're kind-hearted. If it were me, I would make sure she suffers."

Gu Yuqing gritted her teeth.

"Yueyue." Fu Yuyao ran over with a smile, but when he saw Shen Heming's face, his smile stiffened. What was he doing here!

"Fu Yuyao, you're here too."

"Ok!"

Song Shuyue chatted with them for a while before Huo Xiaoyu and Huo Linyu arrived. Jiang Qianyun immediately went to observe Huo Linyu's legs, but there was no change; they remained the same as always.

Uncle's worries were unnecessary.

How can someone who has been disabled for three years be able to stand up again within a month?

Song Shuyue is really delusional.

"Mr. Huo, long time no see."

"Mr. Shen, I haven't seen you for a while. You've finally decided to come back?"

Shen Heming smiled faintly, "Something came up. I heard that Yueyue helped treat your legs, are you feeling better?"

Huo Linyu nodded. Seeing the two's intimate actions and tone of voice, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he still smiled.

"I'm much better now. In the past two weeks, I've been able to lift my head slightly, all thanks to Miss Song. She's my benefactor."

Huo Linyu's gaze fell tenderly on Song Shuyue. She was a ray of light in his life, breaking through the darkness and redeeming him.

Several grown men went off to chat idly to the side, while Huo Xiaoyu and Song Shuyue sat listlessly in their chairs. Huo Xiaoyu couldn't help but complain, "Song Shuyue, it's so boring here. If I had known it would be like this, I would have studied with the old man for a while longer. I can't understand what these people are saying, it's so annoying."

Song Shuyue: "You're taking studying so seriously now, what? Have you decided to change?"

Huo Xiaoyu pretended to be serious and said, "What do you mean by change? I mean striving for self-improvement. Although you are very capable, Song Shuyue, I also want to prove that I am not bad either. Since I have become your disciple, I must study hard and live up to the title of Master Jing's disciple."

Jiang Qianyun walked over with Gu Yuqing. "You? Huo Xiaoyu, do you know the phrase 'overestimating oneself'? That's exactly what describes someone like you."

Huo Xiaoyu glared at Jiang Qianyun; she was everywhere.

He snorted and said, "Jiang Qianyun, what's wrong with me? Do you remember someone who confidently said he would become Master Jing's disciple? He still got slapped in the face. Sometimes you just can't be too sure of what you're going to say."

"You!" This had always been Jiang Qianyun's greatest sore spot. She had painstakingly planned to take advantage of it, but Huo Xiaoyu had gotten the benefit instead.

But so what?

Even if Huo Xiaoyu has a famous teacher, she can't produce a great disciple. She will definitely become the most outstanding doctor in the capital. At that time, no matter what kind of old master you are, you will all be trampled under her feet.

Gu Yuqing looked at Song Shuyue, her voice soft but laced with sarcasm, "Miss Song, why can't you be more forgiving? You knew Zhou Zhimei was a participant in the National Women's Martial Arts Competition, yet you still framed her and sent her to prison. Your jealousy is just too much!"

With just a few words, Gu Yuqing linked Zhou Zhimei's matter to Song Shuyue, portraying Song Shuyue as having ulterior motives, being extremely jealous, and causing great harm to others.

Huo Xiaoyu said loudly, "Stop spouting nonsense. Zhou Zhimei deserved what she got. What does it have to do with Song Shuyue? Stop trying to instigate and frame people."

Song Shuyue glanced at Gu Yuqing. She hated the petty tricks and backstabbing between girls, and the scheming and backstabbing behind their backs.

"Gu Yuqing, if you want to know more about Zhou Zhimei's matter, go directly to the police station and ask the police to find out why she went to jail. Don't gossip in front of me. I don't like to waste my breath. If you make me unhappy again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You!" Gu Yuqing was both angry and resentful, and her sharp tongue was quick to respond.

I wonder how many people he's been having affairs with behind the scenes!

What a promiscuous slut!

“Miss Gu, you don’t need to worry about the affairs of my Zhou family. You claim to be good friends with Zhou Zhimei, but since her accident, you haven’t visited once to inquire about her. As for Zhou Zhimei going to prison, that is the fault of my Zhou family.”

Zhou Yangjun was dressed in a burgundy suit, looking exceptionally flamboyant and handsome. With his hands in his pockets and a wicked smile, he attracted the attention of everyone.

Gu Yuqing clenched her fist. She hadn't expected that Zhou Yangjun would expose the Zhou family's shortcomings in public for the sake of this little bitch, without caring about their own reputation at all.

"You!" In the end, Gu Yuqing could only stomp her feet and leave, unable to contain her anger.

Huo Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow. No wonder he's Song Yanzhou's future...

They've started protecting Song Shuyue right now.

"Miss Song, there are some things I need to explain to you. Is this convenient?"

Song Shuyue thought he had come to ask her about Song Yanzhou. Last time, Song Yanzhou explained that he was an upright man and had no idea about Zhou Yangjun's feelings. She thought that this was probably just wishful thinking on his part.

Song Shuyue said frankly, "Zhou Yangjun, the matter you want to talk about is something I can't do. Song Yanzhou is an independent individual, and I can't control his affairs, so you should look for another job. But I still hope that you can... can choose someone else."

Zhou Yangjun was completely confused by what he heard. He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure it out. He hadn't said anything, so why was Song Shuyue telling him to choose someone else?

Could it be that she...

As if realizing something, Zhou Yangjun was shocked and hurriedly explained in a panic, "No, no, Miss Song, please listen to me, your second brother and I are not what you think. That bouquet of roses, that bouquet of roses, was originally... originally I was going to give it to you."

Unexpectedly, he ended up being the villain. He admitted that he was terrified that she would cut off all contact with him and wouldn't even want to talk to him after she found out his feelings.

Confused, Song Shuyue asked directly, "Give them to me? Why would you give me roses out of the blue?"

Zhou Yangjun has lived for so many years, and the idea he was instilled with from childhood was to carry forward the Zhou family's glory. He only thought about things related to work and never had much interaction with girls.

Faced with her blunt question, he blushed instantly, feeling ashamed and indignant, unsure how to explain himself.

Huo Xiaoyu smiled, realizing that this was a case of "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player," and she understood now.

So Zhou Yangjun's crush is Song Shuyue!

Unfortunately, this girl just doesn't get it.

She admitted that Song Shuyue was very capable, but she was completely clueless when it came to relationships—a total straight woman!

Shen Heming happened to hear this, and his fist clenched at his side little by little. He liked Yueyue!

Just as Zhou Yangjun was about to speak, Shen Heming grabbed his arm and forcibly pulled him away. "Sorry, I have something to say to him. Yueyue, you two talk first."

Zhou Yangjun was forcibly dragged to the side, then abruptly shoved the man away, shouting, "Shen Heming, what's wrong with you!"

Shen Heming stared expressionlessly at the central pool. "I invited you to enjoy the scenery, what? Is that not allowed?"

Zhou Yangjun: "..." He really is sick!

Zhou Yangjun rolled her eyes at him, scoffed, and turned to leave when Shen Heming's voice rang out, "Zhou Yangjun, I advise you to give up your thoughts. She is not someone you can covet."

Zhou Yangjun paused, his expression indifferent. He turned his head to meet Zhou Yangjun's face, his tone mocking and disdainful, "Heh, I thought the famous President Shen was so upright and honorable, but in reality, he's just a despicable person. President Shen, by what right do you warn me?"

Shen Heming's sharp, cold gaze fell on him, and Zhou Yangjun turned and left, completely ignoring his gaze.

When Zhou Yangjun returned, he saw Fu Yuyao telling jokes to Song Shuyue to cheer her up. Song Shuyue had a faint smile on her face, like snow melting little by little on the top of a snow-capped mountain, beautiful and charming.

Zhou Yangjun was stunned. Jiang Qianyun never expected that Song Shuyue, that bitch, had seduced so many people.

Ha ha!

She wanted to see what kind of disgusted expressions these admirers would show if this slut lost her chastity here today.

"Hello, it's me, Auntie. Is my cousin there? I'll send someone to pick him up so he can come join us for some sightseeing!"

Jiang Qianyun revealed a smug smile, slowly walked upstairs, encountered Huo Linyu, paused for a moment, then glanced at him disdainfully and strode away.

Huo Linyu's assistant said indignantly, "This Jiang family's Miss Jiang Qianyun is really ill-mannered and immoral. Back when you, Mr. Huo, hadn't injured your legs, she would run to you every day. You refused her in every way, but she still kept bothering you and blocking your company's entrance. Now that she sees that your legs are injured, she avoids you and even threatens to break off the engagement. I've never seen a woman like this before."

Huo Linyu: "Don't judge her so carelessly; she's a girl."

The annulment of the engagement is a done deal. He has no connection with the Huo family anymore. Out of respect for Jiang Fusheng, he can continue some of the cooperation with the Huo family, but that's all.

"Yueyue, look, it's only been half a year since we last met, and we've already become strangers. The holidays are coming up soon, how about we go to the island for a trip?"

Huo Xiaoyu asked, "Small island? Which small island are you talking about?"

Fu Yuyao: "A few years ago, when I celebrated my birthday, my grandfather bought me several small islands. He didn't let anyone take good care of them, but turned them into an estate, with large areas of flowers, leaves, and herbs planted. Next month, all the flowers will be in full bloom, and you can see their beauty. Yueyue, do you want to go?"

Before Song Shuyue could answer, Huo Xiaoyu was the first to respond, "Go! Go! Go! I want to go! Are you talking about Baka Island!"

She had heard of Baka Island before; it was said to be the private island of a certain tycoon, with an extremely beautiful environment that many people longed to visit.

I never expected it to be Fu Yuyao's.

After Huo Xiaoyu finished speaking, she started to persuade Song Shuyue, "Why don't you come too? I heard that Baka Island is really beautiful. Anyway, we have nothing to do during the holiday, so what's wrong with going for a few days of fun, right?"

Song Shuyue nodded, and Zhou Yangjun immediately stepped forward to chime in, "Let's go! I've heard that Baka Island is covered in wildflowers, and Young Master Fu invited us so sincerely, how can we not go? Count me in."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuyao's eyes widened, and a surge of inexplicable anger immediately welled up within him.

Shameless Zhou Yangjun, who invited him!

Despicable and shameless!

Fu Yuyao gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou really likes to join in the fun. But it's just a bunch of us young people who went to the island. Someone your age must be very busy with work, right? Don't delay things. You should focus on your serious work. We young people can just have some fun."

How could Zhou Yangjun not hear that he was openly or subtly rejecting her, and even making sarcastic remarks about her age?

He sneered and said matter-of-factly, "That makes sense. You said it yourself, you're young people, you need an older brother like me to protect you. If you run into a bad guy, I'll stand up for you. But if something happens, what good will a little kid like you do?"

"You!" Fu Yuyao was so angry that his face turned red, and he still said that he was no match for him.
