After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

When the people outside told Liu Quan's family about Ye Chen's reply, Liu Ruxue was instantly stunned, her body swaying slightly, almost unable to stand.

"Brother Chen doesn't want me anymore, he really doesn't love me anymore."

A huge sense of panic gripped her heart.

"The Ye family is too heartless. All we did was break off the engagement at their funeral. What's wrong with us wanting to remarry now that we regret it?"

"So this is the number one war god family? They're being incredibly stingy."

Wang Meiling couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, you three, move aside, don't block the elevator entrance."

Just as she was complaining, a shout suddenly came from behind her.

The three of them turned their heads and saw a full elevator of people pouring out of it.

These people were mostly middle-aged men and women, carrying various valuable gifts, dressed impeccably, and exuding an air of sophistication; they were clearly people of considerable status.

"This is a private banquet at the Gu family's house tonight. We're here uninvited, so be very careful what you say when you go in. Don't upset them, understand?"

The middle-aged man at the head of the group, who exuded an air of nobility, turned around and gave instructions to the people behind him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we will show our utmost sincerity and only say good things, not bad things," a group of people hurriedly agreed.

Liu Quan recognized one of them; he was their Liu family's largest business partner, a company with assets exceeding 30 billion.

His family ranks among the top three of the second-tier families in Jiangcheng.

However, at this moment he could only stand at the very back, looking nervous, like a primary school student who had made a mistake and was about to go to the teacher's office.

"President Zhao, we've been working together very well. You can't suddenly withdraw your investment. How will our Liu Group survive if you do?"

He seized the opportunity and hurriedly went over to plead.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao looked disgusted. "Your Liu family broke off the engagement at the Ye family's funeral, publicly humiliating Young Master Ye, and you still have the nerve to ask me why I withdrew my investment?"

"Hey, aren't these the Liu family? What are you doing here?"

"Oh dear, stop talking to them, lest the Ye family misunderstand."

"How unlucky to see them as soon as we came in! Let's hurry inside."

After a round of sarcastic remarks, the group adjusted their expressions and then walked into the private room where Ye Chen and the others were, all smiles on their faces.

Watching them leave, Liu Quan was filled with deep regret.

If they hadn't broken off the engagement on that day, then all those important figures would be currying favor with him!

Before he could think any further, the elevator doors opened again.

This time, even more people poured out, each carrying gifts; it goes without saying what they were there for.

As the elevator doors opened and closed, wave after wave of important figures, all carrying gifts and with obsequious expressions, entered the private room.

Because the private rooms were too crowded, a large number of people had to wait in line outside.

Even Wang Meiling forgot to complain at this moment, staring in disbelief at the spectacular scene before her.

regret!

The couple both wanted to burst into tears.

"The Mayor has arrived!"

The final announcement of Mayor He Tao's arrival became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Upon seeing the gift in He Tao's beautiful wife's hand, Wang Meiling's eyes widened, and she plopped down in a chair, her voice trembling.

"Is the mayor... is he also here to deliver a gift to the Gu family?"

This is an enormous honor!

Inside the private room.

Gu Long was afraid of this kind of situation, so he secretly chose a hotel to hold the banquet.

Unexpectedly, these powerful figures and CEOs still managed to find their way here, drawn by the scent.

Guests are welcome, and the Gu family naturally has to entertain them.

So Gu Ning decided to go directly to the hotel banquet hall to hold a larger celebration banquet.

Ye Tianfeng, Gu Long, and Ye Chen, the core members of the Ye and Gu families, were surrounded by people as they headed to the banquet hall, where they happened to see the three members of the Liu family at the end of the corridor.

Everyone stopped in their tracks, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

Upon seeing Ye Chen appear, a glimmer of light appeared in Liu Ruxue's lifeless eyes.

"Brother Chen, you finally agreed to come out and see Xue'er! Xue'er is so happy. I watched the press conference live today. Congratulations!"

"Thank you, Abba Abba..."

Seeing her pitiful and forlorn appearance, Ye Chen felt deeply moved.

However, people must take responsibility for their decisions, and her current predicament is entirely her own fault.

"Brother Chen, you saved me at the engagement party yesterday. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. Can I hug you as a token of my gratitude?"

Seeing Gu Ning's probing gaze on the two of them, Ye Chen's heart tightened.

This woman didn't come to thank him; she clearly came to harm him!

"No, I can only hug my wife Ningning right now, not other women. If you want to hug me, go find your mother." Ye Chen refused sternly.

Just as Liu Ruxue was about to say something, Lin Shasha jumped out.

"Liu Ruxue, do you have any shame? Yesterday, Chen Ge and I rescued you from your engagement party because you were so pitiful and out of consideration for our past friendship. Don't take advantage of me."

Shen Qianqian spoke even more bluntly, "Brother Chen, I said back then that this woman was too stupid and didn't deserve your intelligence at all. Is she thanking you? She's clearly trying to harm you."

Li Muling said in a cold tone, "Miss Liu, Young Master Ye is already married, and his legal wife is here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be here?"

These words were harsh and hurtful, a clear indication that they were trying to drive the person away.

"How shameless are the Liu family? Where were they when they broke off the engagement?"

"Exactly. It's only because President Gu has a good temper. If some vixen were to seduce my husband in public, I would have had her legs broken long ago."

......

The hundreds of guests present would not let this opportunity pass them by; it was a golden chance to kick the Liu family while they could curry favor with the Ye and Gu families.

The sarcastic remarks from the crowd kept getting into her ears. Looking at the four women beside Ye Chen, tears of grievance welled up in Liu Ruxue's eyes.

Gu Ning, Shen Qianqian, Lin Shasha, and Li Muling—in terms of appearance, ability, and family background, apart from her appearance being passable, they are inferior to any of the others.

Now that Ye Chen has these four women, and there might be even more outstanding and beautiful women in the future, will he still care about her?

"Miss Liu, welcome to the Gu family's celebration banquet. Please come and sit in the lobby."

Gu Ning stepped forward and smiled at her.

"No...no, I was just worried about Brother Chen. I'm glad he's alright. I'll take my leave now."

Faced with the pressure from the empress, she was at a loss and fled in a panic.

Lin Shasha's voice came from behind.

"Alright everyone, that disgusting guy is finally gone. Let's hurry to the lobby. Tonight, whoever can outdrink me will get a contract with the Gu family."

The laughter of the crowd was like a death knell, making Liu Ruxue unable to wait for the elevator and fleeing directly from the stairwell.

Seeing her fleeing figure in a disheveled state, Ye Chen sighed inwardly.

My second master was once the Grand Preceptor of the Great Xia Dynasty. His Great Heavenly Evolution Technique could predict the rise and fall of the entire Great Xia Dynasty over the next thirty years.

His predictive abilities were even better than his second master's. He knew that he and Liu Ruxue would continue to be entangled in the future, which was a predetermined cause and effect that he was powerless to change at least for now.

All I can do is try my best to sever this ill-fated relationship.

The Gu family's banquet didn't end until after 10 p.m.

Gu Ning had drunk a little too much; her delicate, fair face was flushed with two rosy blushes, making her look extremely cute.

Back home, Gu Long, with a mischievous grin, urged the young couple to go upstairs and rest.

As soon as she entered the room, Gu Ning snuggled into Ye Chen's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, her eyes filled with a seductive allure.

"Honey, let's get into bed. I have lots of study materials on my phone, let's study together."
