Ex-wife becomes the world's number one hacker

Jiang Yin glanced at him helplessly and said dismissively, "Oh, just because I said it doesn't mean it's mine. These are just ready-made clichés, not my original ones. Anyone can use them."

"Who's shameless?" A voice rang out, and at the same time, a weight pressed down on Tang Ning's back. Someone rested their chin on his shoulder and looked down following his gaze.

Tang Ning didn't even need to turn around to know who it was, and said angrily, "Your childhood friend."

"Old Qin?" Li Tianmu chuckled. "He's not exactly my childhood friend. I've known him for only a short time, not much longer than I've known you. We met when I went abroad to study."

"I can't compare to that," Tang Ning snorted. "We didn't even know each other ten years ago."

Li Tianmu gently tapped the back of Tang Ning's head and said with a smile, "Why are you taking it so seriously?"

As he spoke, Li Tianmu straightened up, stood to the side, and craned his neck to look down.

"Wow, Lao Qin is being so low-key? You haven't really notified outsiders. The people standing downstairs are mostly management and a few guests. The employees are probably watching the live stream at their desks."

Tang Ning was dumbfounded: "This is low-key?"

Li Tianmu: "If we weren't low-key, there wouldn't even be enough room for all the guests to stand in this square, and there wouldn't be just two or three media outlets."

"But don't be fooled by the small number of people. Some of the guests downstairs are quite important, and I reckon even more will be heading straight to the hotel for the luncheon," Li Tianmu said, pointing downstairs.

Jiang Yin didn't know what Qin Shi was like when she wasn't keeping a low profile; she had never seen it before.

The person speaking downstairs is a representative of Qin's important partners, and also one of the top-tier well-known enterprises in China.

Tang Ning suddenly remembered something and turned to ask in confusion, "Wait a minute, weren't you studying in Country E? He's in Country A, you're completely unrelated, how did you two meet?"

"I met someone while traveling in Africa, and we got along well, so we became friends."

"Oh, international travel," Downing clicked his tongue deliberately, "I don't understand the world of the rich."

Li Tianmu turned his head, raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down: "Hey, why are you acting so sarcastic today? Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll get revenge for you."

"You're only a month older, and you dare to call yourself 'brother'?" Tang Ning laughed and shoved him. "Your face is so big it's squeezing me."

"You're the one with a big face," Li Tianmu said with a grin, shoving him back.

Just then, Jiang Yin said, "Stop fooling around, the ribbon-cutting ceremony is about to begin."

The two stopped fooling around, and the three of them peered down together.

There were seven or eight people standing in a row on the steps, and the hostesses were pulling open the red ribbons with flower balls and handing them to the ribbon-cutting guests.

To Jiang Yin and Tang Ning's surprise, Lin Xiyue was among them, standing right next to Qin Heming.

Lin Xiyue held no official position at Qin's Group, yet she appeared as a ribbon-cutting guest. This was undoubtedly a major official announcement from Qin Heming to the outside world and within Qin's Group—Lin Xiyue was his girlfriend and the future boss's wife of Qin's Group.

Jiang Yin crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows high, and then smiled faintly.

Tang Ning used the feigned look around to observe Jiang Yin's expression.

Seeing her smiling faintly, as if she were looking at someone who had nothing to do with him, his heart finally settled down: it seemed she had completely let go. That was good, he no longer had to worry about her being upset all the time.

Tang Ning turned her gaze back downstairs, cursing inwardly: Damn, they're not even divorced yet, and they've already announced their girlfriends. That's incredible!

At this moment, as the ribbon-cutting ceremony began, several firecrackers went off simultaneously, and golden and red ribbons mixed with sparkling confetti burst into the air, enveloping the smiling people on and off the stage in a festive atmosphere.

Lin Xiyue subconsciously covered her head with her hand, trying to block the confetti that was spraying down.

Qin Heming seemed to be infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere, and laughed like a big boy. Instead of dodging, he reached out his hand to catch the ribbon.

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue stopped dodging and playfully grabbed a ribbon from the air, holding it high for Qin Heming to see. The two smiled at each other.

The confetti rained down, creating a rather beautiful scene.

A moment later, the crowd began to leave, and Qin Heming turned and walked towards the door. Lin Xiyue followed closely behind, picking off the confetti that had fallen on Qin Heming as they walked, her movements natural and affectionate.

Tang Ning patted Li Tianmu, who was still looking down, and said, "Why aren't you going down? Aren't you going to support your childhood friend?"

"Go ahead, I'm going straight to the hotel for lunch. I'm not going downstairs to freeze, it's too cold." Li Tianmu then turned around and waved to Tang Ning and Jiang Yin, "Alright, I have to go now, bye-bye, you two."

After saying goodbye to Li Tianmu, Jiang Yin remained expressionless, left the window, returned to her desk, and sat down with Tang Ning to discuss matters.

.......

When Li Tianmu arrived at the luncheon, most of the people were already there.

He was seated at a table with Qin Heming's close friends, along with Jian Tingyun, Xie Jinxing, and several other scions of prominent families.

Li Tianmu sat down next to Xie Jinxing and greeted everyone.

The table was full of young people, all around the same age and familiar with each other. Before long, they were laughing and joking around, having a great time.

Li Tianmu gets easily carried away in lively places, and his E-type constitution suddenly kicks in. Just as he was gesticulating wildly and chatting happily, he heard someone shout beside him:

"Brother Tianmu, when did you arrive?"

Li Tianmu then noticed that Qin Wan'er had appeared beside him at some point and was looking at him with her lips pursed.

"I... I've only been here a short while." Li Tianmu scratched his head and immediately fell silent.

His silence immediately dampened the lively atmosphere at the table, and the people who had been chatting earlier began to joke around:

"Sky Canopy, why is it silent? Is the power out?"

The scion of a prominent family next to Li Tianmu sensibly moved to the side, and Qin Wan'er, without any hesitation, plopped down on the seat.

After greeting everyone present, Qin Wan'er turned to Li Tianmu. Before she could speak, Li Tianmu grabbed his phone from the table, stood up, and walked out.

Sitting next to Xie Jinxing, Jian Tingyun asked him, "Where are we going?"

"Restroom," he replied without turning his head.

A few minutes later, Li Tianmu returned from the restroom. He went directly between Jian Tingyun and Xie Jinxing, and pushed Xie Jinxing back to his previous position.

Xie Jinxing, who was chatting with someone, sat down next to Qin Wan'er without realizing it. He turned his head, raised an eyebrow, and asked Li Tianmu with a smile: Huh? Are you sick?

Li Tianmu pretended not to see anything and sat between Xie Jinxing and Jian Tingyun as if nothing had happened.

Jian Tingyun smiled and reached out to pinch the back of his neck.

When Qin Wan'er saw Li Tianmu change seats immediately after returning, she pouted, lowered her head heavily, and began to crumple the swan-shaped napkin in her hands, flattening it, folding it, flattening it again, folding it again...
