After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

Port city, early autumn.

When Nan Shu returned home in the heavy rain, financial news was being broadcast on TV.

"Breaking news: Shengda Group, with a market value of over 100 billion yuan, has completed the succession handover process."

"Mr. Qi Yuye has officially assumed the position of the Group's new successor and departed from overseas to return to Hong Kong this morning."

Suddenly, a piercing sound interrupted Nan Shu's reverie.

"Xiao Shu, your ex-husband is going back to Hong Kong."

Old Mrs. Chen, sitting on the sofa, patted the table. "Our Chen family temple is too small to accommodate such a big Buddha like you."

Nan Shu lowered her eyes, staring blankly at the divorce agreement on the table.

Four years ago, she also threatened Qi Yuye to sign a document.

"Mom, Qi and I... he lost contact a long time ago. Marriage is a matter of personal choice for men and women."

In four years, both she and Qi Yuye have started their own families.

Madam Chen frowned. "Let me be frank. The company now has the opportunity to cooperate with Shengda, but given how things turned out between you and Young Master Qi back then, staying with the Chen family would be detrimental to Jingyan and the company in every way!"

The Chen Group's cash flow has always been unstable, and this cooperation is its last lifeline.

Four years ago, as everyone knows, Nan Shu filed a lawsuit against Qi Yuye, which led to their divorce.

"I……"

Nan Shu was speechless. Everyone thought that Qi Yuye loved her to death, but the truth was that he only used her as a substitute.

The person Qi Yuye truly loves is his current wife, Lin Xi.

Four years ago, they must have been loving and happy together.

And I am nothing more than a stranger hiding in a corner.

The rain outside the window pounded against the glass, making a pattering sound that was quite annoying.

Seeing Nan Shu remain silent, Old Madam Chen's expression grew even more unpleasant. "Xiao Shu! Jing Yan has had such a difficult journey. If you cling to the past, you'll ruin our Chen family's last chance to survive! His life will be ruined! Do you really want that?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shu's heart trembled, and a bitter feeling almost overwhelmed her.

Chen Jingyan was just a student who had been sponsored by the Nan family, but he did so much to repay their kindness.

Perhaps her mother-in-law is right; even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, she shouldn't drag him down with her.

Nan Shu took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and took the divorce agreement. "Mom, I'll sign it."

Stroke by stroke, Nan Shu had never felt that her name was so difficult to write.

After she signed the papers, Old Madam Chen's expression softened somewhat. "Go back and pack your things. Move out tomorrow morning. As for the Nan family..."

"No need to notify me, this is my own business."

Nan Shu quickly shook her head, refusing to get involved with the Nan family again regarding the divorce.

Ever since the farce of the real and fake heiresses, the Nan family has had nowhere to go.

After all, who would like to see an imposter steal the happiness their own daughter has enjoyed since childhood?

Having been isolated since she was fifteen, Nan Shu decided to let herself go.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the entrance hall.

Chen Jingyan hurried home holding a black umbrella. As soon as he entered, he saw the divorce agreement spread out on the coffee table and Nan Shu's reddened eyes.

His gentle face rarely showed displeasure.

Before Madam Chen could speak, he strode to the coffee table, grabbed the agreement, and tore it in half.

"Mom, who told you to force Xiaoshu to sign this?"

His voice tightened, "The company's problems are my fault, it has nothing to do with her! Even if the cooperation falls through, I won't let her suffer any injustice."

"This is outrageous!"

Madam Chen slammed her hand on the coffee table in anger, making the glass rattle. "Chen Jingyan! Have you been bewitched by this woman? The cooperation with Shengda is our Chen family's last chance. If it falls through, the whole family will starve!"

She became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and reached out to push Nan Shu away from her son.

As a result, the glass vase on the tall cabinet lost its balance and crashed towards Nan Shu with a loud bang.

"Be careful!"

Chen Jingyan reacted quickly, pulling Nan Shu behind him, but his own arm took a solid hit.

"You...you unfilial son!"

Seeing her son protecting Nan Shu, Old Madam Chen trembled with anger. "I don't care anymore! Do whatever you want!"

After saying that, she glared at Nan Shu and slammed the door shut as she left.

The living room fell silent instantly.

Nan Shu hurriedly stepped out from behind Chen Jingyan, grabbed his arm, and got a long, thin red cut from the broken glass.

"It's all my fault. If I had signed earlier, you wouldn't have..." Nan Shu's eyes welled up with tears.

Chen Jingyan's protection was even better than... that person's.

"Silly girl, what are you saying?"

Chen Jingyan raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his fingertips brushing against the top of her soft scalp. His voice was exceptionally soft. "The company's affairs have nothing to do with you. I won't let you shoulder these burdens alone."

Nan Shu didn't say anything more, and turned to rummage through the first-aid kit in the cabinet on the balcony.

When treating his wound, she moved with the gentlest touch, as if she were protecting some precious treasure, afraid of hurting him again. Chen Jingyan, sitting on the sofa, quietly swallowed.

The girl's fair fingertips occasionally touched his skin, carrying a slightly cool temperature, which made him feel a little itchy.

He stiffened instinctively.

Nan Shu didn't notice his strange behavior. While carefully applying the medicine, she thought of that rainy night four years ago.

At that time, she divorced Qi Yuye, offending all the powerful figures in Hong Kong. The Nan family was afraid that she would implicate their main family, so they wouldn't even let her return home.

That night, it was raining heavily. Feeling utterly hopeless, she fainted in the cold rain when Chen Jingyan found her.

He held up a large umbrella and gently carried her home. "Miss Nan, I am Chen Jingyan. You sponsored my university education back then, and now it's my turn to repay your kindness."

Even later, when she discovered she was pregnant, she took the initiative to propose a marriage of convenience.

For no other reason than to provide shelter for Nan Shu and her child to survive.

Thinking of this, Nan Shu's nose tingled, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears.

Chen Jingyan is always so kind.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

The shrill ring of the bell shattered the silence in the living room.

It's the hospital's phone number.

Nan Shu quickly answered the phone, and a nurse's anxious voice came through the receiver.

"Ms. Nan! Your son, Chen Enci, suddenly fainted at school, and the doctors are trying to save him! Please come to the hospital immediately!"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

In an instant, Nan Shu's face turned deathly pale, and her lips lost all color.

As she stood up, she swayed and almost lost her balance.

Chen Jingyan immediately reached out to steady her swaying body, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoshu, Niannian is such a good girl, she'll be alright."

The two drove away in a hurry, but did not notice a black Rolls-Royce parked under the shade of a tree at the entrance of the residential area.

The man in the back seat leaned back, watching their car disappear into the rain through the tanned windows.

His eyes were as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

The assistant in the driver's seat didn't dare to breathe loudly, and could only secretly watch the man's face in the rearview mirror, his heart pounding with anxiety.
