The atmosphere was unusually awkward and oppressive while waiting for the food to be served.

Shen Qinghan took out a pack of wet wipes from her bag and began to vigorously wipe the table in front of her.

After wiping it a few times, she looked at the dark oil stains on the tissue and frowned deeply.

The habitual complaints just slipped out.

"Why is this place so dirty?"

"How long has it been since this table was wiped? It's covered in grease."

"And these chopsticks look unhygienic. Is it safe to eat them?"

While complaining, Shen Qinghan took the chopsticks in front of Shen Xinyu and scalded them with boiling water over and over again.

"Jiang Ye, have you been living in a place like this and eating this kind of food for the past few days?"

Listening to Shen Qinghan's rapid-fire complaints.

Jiang Ye wasn't angry. He spoke calmly:

"Shen Qinghan".

"Do you know?"

"Your complaint just now is one of the reasons for our divorce."

Shen Qinghan was stunned, and the hand wiping the table suddenly stopped in mid-air.

She looked up at Jiang Ye, puzzled.

"You complain too much." Jiang Ye looked into her eyes, his tone so calm it was frightening. "For the past seven years, no matter what I did, it always seemed to be wrong in your eyes."

"I cleaned the house spotless, but you complained that the cleaning agent I used smelled too strong."

"I spent the whole afternoon making your favorite pork rib soup, but you complained that it was too oily and said you wanted to lose weight."

"I was worried you'd be cold when you came home from working late, so I prepared a bath for you in advance. But you complained that the water was too hot and burned your skin."

"In your world, you will always be the queen, and I am just a servant who can never meet your demands."

"You're used to being critical and negative."

"You never thought that behind those things you complain about and dislike, there was so much of my goodwill and my desire to please you."

Jiang Ye shook his head, a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Like now."

"This is just an ordinary little shop located deep in the mountains. It can provide a bowl of hot noodles to fill the stomachs of travelers, and that's enough."

"Don't you find it ridiculous that you insist on using your standards for top-tier restaurants in Hanju (South Korea)?"

"You're tired, and I'm tired just looking at you."

Jiang Ye's words were like sharp knives, piercing Shen Qinghan's heart with pinpoint accuracy.

She opened her mouth, wanting to refute.

But he found himself unable to utter a single word.

Because everything Jiang Ye said was true.

As she recalled the events of the past seven years, it seemed that Jiang Ye's words were indeed true.

She kept complaining and finding fault.

She trampled all of Jiang Ye's efforts underfoot.

Just then, the owner came over carrying three steaming bowls of beef noodles.

"The noodles are here, enjoy!"

Jiang Ye picked up his chopsticks, ignored Shen Qinghan, and began to eat heartily.

He ate with great relish, as if this ordinary bowl of beef noodles were some kind of heavenly delicacy.

Shen Qinghan, sitting opposite him, looked at the bowl of noodles in front of her but couldn't eat a single bite.

Tears fell silently into the bowl once again.

Shen Xinyu seemed to sense that something was wrong, so she obediently lowered her head and ate her noodles, not daring to say anything more.

The meal ended in a suffocating silence.

Jiang Ye put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue, and wiped his mouth.

He stood up, walked to the counter, and paid the bill.

Then, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.

I found Shen Qinghan's profile picture.

My fingers moved quickly across the screen a few times.

"bite."

Shen Qinghan's phone, which was on the table, rang.

She picked up her phone and looked at it.

It was a WeChat transfer sent by Jiang Ye.

The amount is ten thousand yuan.

The transfer note read: "Airfare."

Jiang Ye walked to the table and looked at Shen Qinghan.

"After you've eaten, take Xinyu home."

"Hanju is where you belong."

"It's windy here, not suitable for you."

Done.

Jiang Ye didn't look at the mother and daughter again.

He turned and walked out of the restaurant, striding towards the BMW Waterbird in the inn's courtyard.

He got on the motorcycle, put his helmet back on, and put on his gloves.

The movements were executed in one smooth motion, without the slightest hesitation.

"boom--!"

The engine of the heavy ADV motorcycle let out a deep and wild roar.

Jiang Ye stepped on the gear shift and released the clutch.

The motorcycle shot off like a wild horse.

.......

Shen Qinghan, holding Shen Xinyu's hand, stumbled and ran out of the restaurant.

They stood by the roadside, watching the massive motorcycle disappear into the distance along the winding mountain road.

Jiang Ye's back view was broad and resolute.

He never looked back.

The roar of the motorcycles faded completely into the mountains, and even the dust that had been kicked up subsided.

Shen Qinghan remained standing there, dazed.

The mountain wind blew by, ruffling her hair and penetrating her thin coat.

She gripped her phone tightly, staring at the glaring red envelope for transferring money on the screen.

A feeling of extreme bitterness, unlike anything I had ever experienced, welled up inside me.

But this bitterness and regret did not linger in her heart for long.

As the roar of the BMW Gyrfalcon motorcycle completely disappeared at the end of the valley, and the surroundings fell back into that suffocating silence.

The tears in Shen Qinghan's eyes gradually dried up.

Instead, there was an uncontrollable, burning anger!

Who is she?

She is the beautiful CEO of the renowned Blue Ocean Group in Hanzhou!

She is the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Shen family!

From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever suffered such injustice? When has she ever been ignored and humiliated like this?

"Jiang Ye, what right do you have to treat me like this?!"

Shen Qinghan suddenly raised his head, facing the empty mountain road, and growled through gritted teeth.

"I've already lowered myself so much!"

"I turned down a contract meeting worth hundreds of millions of yuan, I took the earliest red-eye flight, and I endured four hours of bumpy travel on these awful mountain roads without even a sip of water!"

"I even set aside all my pride and begged you to come back in front of my daughter!"

"I've never been this proactive with any man before, never!"

"But what about you? You just left?!"

Shen Qinghan grew angrier the more she thought about it, her chest heaving violently.

She felt that Jiang Ye was extremely ungrateful.

In her subconscious, Jiang Ye should be just like he was in the past seven years. As long as she gives him a little kindness or beckons, he should come running back with gratitude wagging his tail.

"What makes you so high and mighty?!" Shen Qinghan shouted, her eyes red, as she yelled in the direction Jiang Ye had left.

"You think you're a hero just because you ride around on a beat-up motorcycle and act like a rogue for a few days?"

"Don't forget how you got into the Shen family in the first place!!"

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet!"

"Back in the US, you turned around and went to those shady places to solicit prostitutes, and got arrested and taken to the police station!"

"If I weren't so ashamed, I would have exposed this already!"

"You're a worthless scoundrel who can't even control your lower body, and now you have the nerve to act all profound and aloof in front of me? You look down on me for complaining? What right do you have to look down on me?!"

The mountain wind howled, and the only response she received was the rustling of the leaves.

Shen Xinyu was terrified by her mother's hysterical state. She hid to the side, trembling, and didn't even dare to cry out.

Shen Qinghan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the raging anger churning in his chest.

She stared intently at the transfer record on her phone screen, her eyes turning icy and resolute.

"Okay, okay!"

"Jiang Ye, you asked for this!"

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. How dare you treat me like this!"

"Since you're so keen on being a homeless person, then you can just rot in these mountains for the rest of your life!"

"Once I return to Hanzhou, I will marry Gu Ziming!"

"Gu Ziming is a million times better than you. He's romantic, he has a successful career, and he can give Xinyu and me the best life!"

"Jiang Ye, you'll regret this later! Even if you kneel down and beg me, I will never look at you again!"

After saying that, Shen Qinghan grabbed her daughter without looking back, contacted the driver who had brought them there yesterday, doubled the price, and demanded that they return to the airport immediately.
