The next morning, after watching the two caregivers finish washing and massaging her grandmother, Liang Yu began reading to her.

Not long after I started reading, there were three short, soft knocks on the door.

Fang Ze slowly pushed the door open and entered.

Liang Yu immediately fell silent, his gaze remaining fixed on the book, without glancing at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze walked lightly to the opposite side of Liang Yu, stood in front of the window, and blocked a small part of the light coming in from outside.

Sunlight streamed in from behind Fang Ze, casting a long shadow that fell precisely on Liang Yu's book.

Liang Yu was forced to look up at Fang Ze.

Fang Ze wore a neatly pressed white shirt, with the cuffs casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing his well-defined forearms and an expensive wristwatch.

The sunlight streaming through the window cast a halo around him, making his broad shoulders and narrow waist appear even more refined and composed.

But the earnestness in his eyes as he looked at Liang Yu was evident.

Liang Yu frowned slightly, looking at Fang Ze with displeasure, and said:

"You're blocking my light, move aside."

Fang Ze took a deep breath and spoke seriously:

"Xiao Yu, Mr. Wang from Haicheng Private Equity is hosting a private yacht party tonight, and he hopes you can attend as well."

Wang Ming just called Fang Ze personally, saying that he had organized a gathering tonight and invited several big names in the investment world, and wanted to introduce them to Fang Ze.

Fang Ze definitely has to attend such a social gathering.

Fang Ze had just agreed when he heard Wang Ming say:

"Mr. Fang, what happened to Assistant Liang, the person who was in contact with our company? Did she suddenly resign? Did she have a conflict with Assistant Zhao on our end?"

"Assistant Zhao is handpicked by our big boss; I have to give her some face. Assistant Liang left without a word; does she have a problem with Assistant Zhao?"

"Assistant Zhao has asked me to invite Ms. Liang tonight as well, as she wants to meet with Assistant Liang to have a chat."

"I'm entrusting this task to you, after all, Assistant Liang is one of your Fang family's people."

"Mr. Fang, you can't let me lose face in front of the person handpicked by the big boss."

Fang Ze actually didn't want Liang Yu to go.

But Wang Ming is very famous in the investment world and has a lot of connections, so he didn't want to make Wang Ming feel uncomfortable over such a trivial matter.

Therefore, Fang Ze had no choice but to let Liang Yu attend the private yacht party tonight.

But Liang Yu doesn't like socializing, and he would never want to attend such a private yacht party.

However, for the sake of the company's future development, Fang Ze still wanted Liang Yu to participate.

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Liang Yu frowned and replied coldly:

"I don't want to go. You should take Shi Yue with you. Shi Yue should really enjoy these private yacht parties."

Fang Ze adopted a very humble posture and replied in a gentle tone:

"Xiao Yu, I'll bring Shi Yue with me. You're both girls, so she can be by your side and you won't feel so reserved. Someone will bring over a few dresses later, so you can choose one you like and change into it."

"Also, Assistant Zhao from Haicheng Private Equity will be at the yacht party tonight. You don't need to interact with anyone else; just chat casually with Assistant Zhao. There's no need to feel any pressure."

Fang Ze, in a gentle tone, issued an irrefutable order to Liang Yu.

It seemed he hadn't heard Liang Yu say that she didn't want to go.

Liang Yu sat in a chair, looking up at Fang Ze, who stood in the sunlight, looking down at Liang Yu.

It seemed that under the oppressive aura of Fang Ze, Liang Yu had no room to resist.

Finally, Liang Yu spoke up, breaking the silence.

She calmly presented her conditions to Fang Ze:

"Sixty million."

"Give me 60 million, and I'll go to the yacht party tonight. Otherwise, have someone kidnap me."

Fang Ze was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Liang Yu to directly negotiate with him.

He originally thought that he would have to coax Liang Yu a few more times before she would agree.

Rather than coaxing Liang Yu gently, he preferred to solve the problem of getting Liang Yu to attend the yacht party by paying for it.

This money was their joint property, so he didn't lose anything.

If he were to coax Liang Yu with gentle words instead, it would take him a lot of time and effort.

Too much trouble.

Fang Ze immediately agreed:

"Okay, I'll schedule a bank transfer for you right now."

Liang Yu chose a light blue dress to attend the yacht party.

The light blue color made her already fair skin look even smoother and more delicate.

The dress is fitted at the waist and abdomen, and the rhinestones at the neckline shimmer in the light, exuding elegance and freshness.

This made Liang Yu appear like an elf descended to earth, exuding an otherworldly beauty.

On the way to the port, Liang Yu kept his face turned to the window the whole time and didn't say a word to Fang Ze.

On the way, Fang Ze's gaze swept over Liang Yu slowly from the side.

He picked out this dress.

Liang Yu looks beautiful and it suits her very well.

He is satisfied.

Fang Ze's gaze lingered on Liang Yu's hands for a moment before he silently looked away.

He would be even more satisfied if Liang Yu's hands could be restored to their original state.

That way, Liang Yu wouldn't resist socializing.

He could now bring Liang Yu to all occasions without any worries.

As soon as the two got out of the car, a pretty figure rushed between them.

Shi Yue was dressed in a bright red dress, with exquisite makeup and a sweet smile. Before Fang Ze could react, she reached out and hugged Fang Ze's arm tightly.

Shi Yue looked up at Fang Ze, her sweet tone full of coquettishness:

"Brother Fang Ze, President Wang is already entertaining guests on the yacht. I'm waiting here for you to go in together."

He then glanced at Liang Yu beside him, then looked at Fang Ze, and asked in a wronged tone:

"Brother Fang Ze, I didn't know you would bring Sister Liang Yu along, and everyone knows I was waiting for you..."

Shi Yue's meaning was clear: if Fang Ze didn't go on the yacht with her, she would be laughed at and lose face.

Fang Ze stiffened and subconsciously tried to pull his arm away, but Shi Yue held him even tighter.

He looked at Liang Yu beside Shi Yue, and was about to explain when he saw Liang Yu walking towards the yacht on his own.

It was as if he and Shi Yue had no connection to her at all.

Fang Ze felt inexplicably agitated and flustered.

He had just taken a step toward Liang Yu when he heard several voices greeting him from behind.

"Good evening, Mr. Fang. I knew you would bring Miss Shi. Miss Shi looks beautiful tonight."

"Good evening, Mr. Fang. I've heard so much about you, it's great to finally meet you today."

"Mr. Fang, it seems like you're always with Miss Shi. It looks like Miss Shi will definitely be the most beautiful companion tonight."

Fang Ze immediately withdrew his gaze from Liang Yu and, together with Shi Yue, exchanged pleasantries with the distinguished guests.

He naturally assumed that Shi Yue was his date for the night.

She's just a female companion, not a wife.

Besides, Liang Yu is not suitable to be a party girl.

It's fine to let Liang Yu stay alone in a deserted corner for a while.

Since Liang Yu doesn't like socializing anyway, let's just leave her alone.

He didn't want to get entangled with both Shi Yue and Liang Yu at the same time in this situation.

It makes us a laughing stock.

Fang Ze let Shi Yue link arms with him and led her up the yacht's gangway without looking at Liang Yu again.

As Liang Yu stepped into the yacht's cabin alone, an atmosphere of luxury enveloped him.

The crystal chandelier refracted countless points of light, which spilled onto the round table covered with a velvet tablecloth, and the champagne tower on the table shimmered under the light.

The languid and melodious jazz music, mixed with the sounds of celebrities clinking glasses, filled every corner of the cabin.

Liang Yu deliberately avoided crowded places and walked towards a dimly lit corner when a gentle voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Assistant Liang."

Liang Yu paused, turned around, and saw that the person who called her was Zhao Wen.

Liang Yu nodded slightly in acknowledgment:

"Good evening, Assistant Zhao."

Zhao Wen, wearing a light pink dress, walked briskly over, smiling, and said:

"Good evening. It's a bit stuffy in here. How about we go up to the deck for some fresh air?"

Liang Yu disliked the noise in the cabin, and immediately nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's go get some fresh air together."

The yacht has started slowly and is heading towards the deep sea. The hull is stable with only slight swaying.

A few pairs of guests stood scattered on the deck, chatting. The city lights in the distance gradually blurred, leaving only the shimmering waves on the sea reflecting the twilight sky.

Liang Yu leaned against the railing on the deck. The evening breeze, carrying the salty, damp scent of the sea, swept over her, instantly dispelling her discomfort with the unfamiliar environment.

Zhao Wen, holding onto the deck railing, gazed at the distant sea and asked gently:

"Assistant Liang, why are you resigning? Is it because I'm always around you, and you're getting annoyed?"

Liang Yu immediately shook his head in denial:

"Of course not, you misunderstood. Actually, I've gotten used to having you with me while I'm working."

Zhao Wen leaned against the railing, looking at Liang Yu's exquisite and perfect profile, and asked sincerely:

"Then can you tell me why you suddenly resigned? Why didn't you continue working at Fang's?"

The evening breeze gently lifted Liang Yu's skirt and hair, giving her a hazy and refreshing beauty.

Liang Yu gazed at the boundless sea and replied softly:

"Because of family matters, I had to resign in order not to interfere with my work."

Of course, Liang Yu couldn't tell Zhao Wen directly that she was only going to work to get a divorce from Fang Ze, and that she was originally only going to work for three months.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wen pressed further:

"Ms. Liang, was your resignation voluntary or forced?"

Liang Yu looked at Zhao Wen with a puzzled expression.

She didn't understand why Zhao Wen suddenly asked that question.

She wasn't entirely sure whether her resignation was voluntary or forced.

Because from the moment I started working at Fang's company until the moment I left, everything was arranged by Fang Ze with just a word.

Liang Yu thought for a moment before answering:

"I originally only planned to work at Fang's for three months, so there was no question of whether it was voluntary or forced; it was just that my working time at Fang's was a little shorter."

Zhao Wen asked again:

"Ms. Liang, will you still be going out to work?"

After a pause, Zhao Wen explained:

"Ms. Liang, after working with you for the past few days, I feel that you are an ambitious and responsible person. You wouldn't stay at home all the time and never go out, would you?"
