"Dad, has Mom come to her senses? She won't cause any more trouble, will she?" Yue Guangzhi frowned, looking extremely annoyed.

"It's temporarily under control. She's asking your Aunt Han to move out." Yue Jiangting shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Women, they're just so narrow-minded, they can't tolerate others."

Mei Yusheng scoffed. If she had no bottom line, she should go out and find a lover, bring him home, and the four of them live together. Let's see how broad-minded she really is.

But she couldn't do such a despicable thing; she wouldn't be foolish enough to humiliate others in a way that would humiliate herself.

"That's good. I get so annoyed every time I see them making a scene!" Yue Guangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face. "Dad, you really know how to handle things!"

"How's that project in the North District going? Is Secretary Qin planning to put it up for public bidding?" Yue Jiangting changed the subject. "Just because we haven't received any inside information doesn't mean others haven't, you understand?"

“Yes, I understand,” Yue Guangzhi said with a bitter face. “It seems the city leaders want to switch to another company.”

Yue Jiangting paced back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, then sighed: "Sewage treatment is a lucrative business. We've monopolized it for over twenty years. Who wouldn't be envious? With this major reshuffle of the city's leadership, I reckon we'll be purged along with them."

"What should we do?" Yue Guangzhi panicked. "Dad, could someone be deliberately plotting against us? If what we did in the past is brought up again, will we go to jail?"

Yue Guangzhi's voice trembled.

Mei Yusheng's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at the two people in the picture, her heart pounding faster than ever.

She felt she would soon hear what she wanted to hear.

"No!" Yue Jiangting said firmly. "Don't be afraid. I'm a grown man, I can handle any pressure."

She glared at her son with displeasure, saying, "I've already made the worst-case scenario plan. Even if the company goes bankrupt, it won't affect our lives. You stay at the foundation; that's our last resort."

"Yes, I understand, Dad." Hearing his father's confident tone and seeing his composed expression, Yue Guangzhi finally felt at ease and looked at his father with admiration.

His father is his solid support and the source of his confidence. No matter what happens, he will always stand by his father's side.

As for his mother, he felt that she was over fifty years old and still worried about love and romance. He thought she should be content as long as she had enough money and a stable life.

What successful man doesn't have a flirtatious streak? Dad just can't let go of his first love, which actually shows that he's devoted to his partner. Mom should understand that.

"Alright, go out now. I still need to talk to your Aunt Han." Yue Jiangting waved his hand.

Yue Guangzhi left the study and went straight to find Shen Yingying and her son.

Mei Yu listened intently for a long time but didn't hear anything substantial. However, one thing was certain: Yuejiang Pavilion definitely had some shady secrets.

How can I find it?

Mei Yusheng frowned in thought, and finally sighed helplessly. It seemed that there was no other way but to wait patiently.

Switching the video to the living room, I saw Yue Jiangting enter Han Caiyu's room. There were no cameras there, so I couldn't hear what they were saying. I guessed it was about asking her to move out. Mei Yusheng wasn't interested, so she closed the app, lay flat on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Yue Jiangting saw Han Caiyu wiping away tears in the room and felt a little sorry for her. He came over, hugged her, and gently comforted her, "Don't cry, look at your face, it's all stained red."

"Brother Jiang Ting, I really didn't hurt Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan was scared and cried because Sister Mei was so loud!" Han Caiyu felt even more wronged and clarified again, "Don't you believe me?"

Yue Jiangting's gaze met her tearful eyes, and a feeling of pity welled up within him. He reached out and gently stroked her face: "I believe you! I know you've been wronged. It's all my fault for not arranging your accommodation in advance."

Han Caiyu obediently shook her head: "It was my own idea to move here. I really wanted to know what your home was like, and I was also jealous that this home didn't belong to me."

“Caiyu, now that Yusheng is back, if you stay here any longer, you two will definitely argue every time you see each other, which will put me in a difficult position.” Yue Jiangting held Han Caiyu’s shoulders and led her to a chair. “Could you go stay at a hotel for a while?”

"What? Brother Jiang Ting, you want to get rid of me?" Han Caiyu raised her voice, staring at him in disbelief. "You've ultimately chosen her and are going to abandon me?"

"Oh, no, how could I abandon you?" Yue Jiangting explained urgently, "I'm afraid you'll be wronged. You saw it yourself, Mei Yusheng has a bad temper and speaks sharply. What she said to you today really hurt me!"

"I won't leave!" Han Caiyu shook her head excitedly, tears streaming down her face. "Brother Jiang Ting, you promised to divorce her, why did you go back on your word? In the end, you still can't bear to part with her, can you?"

"It's really not!" Yue Jiangting grabbed her hand, trying to calm her down with his strength. "I've told you before, the company is facing a critical period right now, and we can't afford any negative impact. Once the company stabilizes, I will divorce her and marry you. You have to believe me."

Han Caiyu stared at him blankly: "You're not trying to comfort me, are you? The one who really needs to stay calm is me, isn't she?"

"Caiyu, why are you so insecure?" Yue Jiangting stared intently at her. "My feelings for you have never changed. You shouldn't have barged in without consulting me this time, disrupting all my plans! Why are you becoming more and more impatient?"

Han Caiyu felt bitter inside. She had been holding back her anger for twenty years. How long was she going to keep it up?

But she dared not anger this man, fearing she would end up with nothing. Her youthful beauty was fading, and accustomed to a life of luxury, she had saved no money and was entirely dependent on Yue Jiangting. The worst thing for a person is to be poor in old age; that could truly lead to starvation.

She desperately wanted to hold onto Yue Jiangting. Although he had treated her very well over the years, she was always uneasy without the security of a marriage certificate.

Moreover, she had an even more pressing reason...

Han Caiyu used a tissue to cover her darting eyes; she absolutely could not let Yue Jiangting notice anything amiss.

"I'm sorry, Brother Jiang Ting, I was too hasty. I'll follow your arrangements."

Yue Jiangting breathed a sigh of relief: "Caiyu, thank you for understanding me."

"However, you know I'm not used to staying in hotels. It's inconvenient to do anything in a hotel. How about I rent a place?" Han Caiyu looked at Yue Jiangting with tears in her eyes, her gaze pleading sadly.

Yue Jiangting's heart immediately melted: "Okay, I'll help you rent a house."

"No, I want to find it myself!" Han Caiyu pouted and twisted her body. "What if the one you find doesn't suit my taste? You know I'm very particular about the details of life."

"Alright! Find it yourself, but be quick." Yue Jiangting was very satisfied with Han Caiyu's obedience and understanding, which was far better than Mei Yusheng, that haggard old woman.

Han Caiyu pays great attention to maintaining a youthful appearance and figure, while Mei Yusheng is always disheveled. The contrast between the two makes them seem like they are from different generations.

Yue Jiangting increasingly felt that he had good taste; the woman he fell in love with when he was young remained elegant and beautiful, and even more charming, in her old age.

Han Caiyu, nestled in his arms, subtly turned cold, a sly glint in her eyes.
