Liang Yu stared at the message in silence for a long while before getting up and leaving the office.

Upon entering Fang Ze's office, Liang Yu immediately noticed the insulated lunchbox on the coffee table.

Fang Ze got up from his desk, walked to the water dispenser, and said as he filled his glass:

"Xiao Yu, I asked Aunt Mei to cook your favorite dishes. You haven't been home these past few days, have you been eating takeout for every meal?"

Fang Ze gently placed a glass of water in front of Liang Yu; there was a straw in the glass.

Liang Yu glanced at the straw, whispered a thank you, and then asked:

"Is this what you meant by 'important thing'?"

Then he immediately followed up with:

"Actually, you could have had Dong Xiao give it to me; there's no need for me to bother your work."

Fang Ze was taken aback by Liang Yu's words and immediately explained:

"It's lunch break now, and I called you to my office mainly to talk to you."

Fang Ze's tone remained as amiable as ever.

Liang Yu's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at Fang Ze and asked in a gentle tone:

"What are you talking about?"

Fang Ze pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Liang Yu and asked seriously:

"Xiao Yu, how did you meet Wang Ming from Haicheng Private Equity?"

Liang Yu was stunned when he heard the name "Wang Ming".

She thought Fang Ze would continue to pursue the matter of Shi Yue almost falling yesterday.

Liang Yu asked in return, looking puzzled:

"Who is Wang Ming? I've never heard of that name before."

Fang Ze explained earnestly:

"That's the Mr. Wang who spoke to you at the banquet last night."

The image of the well-built, thirty-something CEO from last night immediately came to Liang Yu's mind.

She shook her head and replied firmly:

"I had never met that Mr. Wang before last night."

Fang Ze said:

"But he praised you to me several times."

After a pause, Fang Ze said earnestly:

"Xiao Yu, you're married now, you're my wife. I don't have any other requirements for you. I just hope that in the future, you'll maintain a certain social distance from other men, okay?"

Liang Yu wanted to laugh when he saw Fang Ze's matter-of-fact attitude.

How can she maintain a certain social distance when there is no basic social interaction between her and Wang Ming?

Since Fang Ze knows that he should keep a certain distance from other women after getting married, why are there rumors circulating in the company that Shi Yue is Fang Ze's fiancée?

Liang Yu only realized today that Fang Ze was a hypocrite.

But Liang Yu no longer wanted to argue with Fang Ze about such things.

She just wanted to get through these three months smoothly, divorce Fang Ze, and part ways amicably.

Liang Yu replied earnestly:

"Don't worry, I won't have any inappropriate social interactions with other men before we get divorced."

When Liang Yuyi mentioned the word "divorce," Fang Ze felt a burning anger rising in his chest.

This is really going on and on.

Then he thought of how Liang Yu had seen him bring Shi Yue to the banquet last night, and he was probably still angry.

Liang Yu has nothing. She is not even able to take care of herself, and she has a grandmother in a vegetative state to support. How could she possibly have the confidence and determination to divorce him?

Liang Yu's constant mentions of divorce were simply a way to pressure him into coaxing her and paying more attention to her.

But he didn't like Liang Yu using this method to make his presence felt.

If he lets Liang Yu achieve his goal easily this time, Liang Yu will mistakenly believe that he can easily control him in this way.

Once something happens the first time, it will happen again.

In the end, it will escalate to the point where, if Liang Yu is even slightly unhappy about something, she will threaten to divorce him and force him to compromise.

He could not allow this farce to continue indefinitely.

After a while, when Liang Yu experiences the hardship of working and wants to go home, he will coax Liang Yu properly.

Only when that time comes will it be worthwhile for him to coax her.

Fang Ze took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions.

He looked at Liang Yu and asked in a gentle voice:

"How are you settling in at the company these past few days?"

Liang Yu knew why Fang Ze asked that question, and answered honestly:

"I wasn't used to it at first, but it's much better now, and I think I'll get used to it more and more."

Upon hearing Liang Yu's words, Fang Ze felt that Liang Yu was deliberately showing off in front of him.

It's like the person who went to work for half a day and then rushed home that day wasn't Liang Yu.

Fang Ze smiled gently and said softly:

"Xiaoyu, we are husband and wife. You don't need to pretend to be strong in front of me. I know you work very hard. I really hope you can see the reality of the situation as soon as possible and come home soon."

Liang Yu felt there was nothing more to say to Fang Ze, so he asked directly:

"Fang Ze, you haven't forgotten the three-month agreement we made before, have you?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Fang Ze's eyes as he replied:

"You've only been with the company for a few days; you're still a long way from three months."

Liang Yu said:

"I'm glad you haven't forgotten. There's nothing else, I'll be going now. Lunch break is short, and I have a lot of work to do this afternoon."

After saying that, Liang Yu picked up the insulated box, stood up, and left the office without looking back.

She would never go back to the villa in Redwood Bay, but she still loved Aunt May's cooking.

Fang Ze stared blankly at Liang Yu's departing figure, a sense of indescribable panic and emptiness rising in his heart.

This was the first time in six years that Liang Yu had left without looking back, leaving only his back view.

But Fang Ze quickly suppressed this feeling.

Liang Yu was just being temperamental.

Liang Yu was still angry because he had brought Shi Yue to the banquet last night.

Liang Yu carried the insulated box directly back to the stairwell on the administration floor.

She opened the insulated box, which was full of her favorite dishes, each cut into small squares so she could eat them with a small fork.

Liang Yu couldn't help but miss Aunt Mei.

Since she married Fang Ze, Aunt Mei has been taking care of her daily life. Aunt Mei is meticulous and considerate, and she treats Liang Yu with the kind of doting and tolerance that an elder has for a younger generation.

Liang Yu ate while thinking.

After she divorces Fang Ze, it would be great if she could invite Aunt Mei to Lishu Village to take care of her. I wonder if Aunt Mei would be willing to live in the countryside.

Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang in my pocket.

Liang Yu had just finished lunch. She put down her lunchbox and turned on her phone. It was a message from Lin Xiao.

[Xiao Yu, do you remember I told you before that our hospital had two patients who underwent invasive brain-computer interfaces? Both patients are recovering very well, and the surgery was very successful.]

My grandmother has been in a vegetative state for eight years. Have you ever thought that perhaps one day she could regain consciousness through an invasive brain-computer interface?

In fact, Liang Yu has been paying close attention to news related to the field of "brain-computer interface" medical rehabilitation.

Currently, some patients are also using brain-computer interface technology to assist in rehabilitation training, and their consciousness gradually returns after surgery, gradually getting rid of the "vegetative state".

Liang Yu thought about it carefully and replied.

【I have indeed considered what you said, but my grandmother has been in a vegetative state for eight years, and she is elderly. I'm not sure if she can withstand invasive brain-computer interface surgery.】

Lin Xiao replied instantly.

Do you remember Zhou Yang, who was three years ahead of us? He's currently involved in brain-computer interface research.

Zhou Yang is giving a lecture on this topic at Haicheng University tomorrow. Would you like to attend? You could also meet Zhou Yang and learn some professional knowledge about this field from him.

Liang Yu returned.

I haven't seen Zhou Yang for many years, and we haven't been in contact at all. He probably doesn't even remember me anymore. It wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly ask him to meet up.

Lin Xiao replied instantly.

[Why don't I remember? Why haven't I been in contact with him? Dr. Zhou, the head of our hospital's orthopedics department, is Zhou Yang's father.]

Every time you ask me to help your mother-in-law get an appointment with Director Zhou, I just contact Zhou Yang directly.

Now, all I have to do is send an emoji, and Zhou Yang will immediately reply: "Grandma Liang Yu needs to register again? What day and time do you want?"

[Now when I book an appointment with Director Zhou, I just mention your name directly to Zhou Yang, and it works really well!]

Tell me, can this be called no contact? Can this be called not remembering you?

Liang Yu almost spat blood onto his phone screen and replied angrily.

[Lin Xiao! This is too much! Why didn't you ever tell me this?! I'm breaking off all ties with you!]

Lin Xiao replied instantly.

Don't be angry. I didn't tell you before because I didn't want to burden you. But now, for Grandma's recovery, I have no choice but to tell you the truth.

[Tomorrow's Saturday, how about we go to a lecture together? You can also treat Zhou Yang to coffee or a movie while you're at it, to repay all the favors we've done over the years.]

Liang Yu returned.

Lin Xiao, even if you beg for forgiveness, I will never forgive you.

Lin Xiao replied instantly.

[Your Majesty, I was wrong. I will go to your bedchamber tonight to apologize.]

For the entire afternoon, Liang Yu felt incredibly embarrassed whenever she thought about how Lin Xiao had been using her name to ask Zhou Yang for help with appointments all these years without her even knowing it.

She didn't even know how to start a conversation with Zhou Yang when she saw him tomorrow.

Was she thanking Zhou Yang for helping her register?

Or should we just sell Lin Xiao out and tell Zhou Yang that Lin Xiao has been the middleman all along and that she knows nothing about it?

Liang Yu was troubled by this problem until he got off the bus and arrived home.

It wasn't until Yan Qi opened the car door for her that she remembered to say something to him:

"I don't work on Saturdays and Sundays, so I'm giving you the two days off. You can pick me up for work on Monday morning."

Yan Qi asked:

"You don't go out on Saturdays and Sundays?"
