Shen Yinyin followed Shen Qinghan's gaze and immediately guessed what was going on. She pursed her lips, habitually activated her PUA mode, and began whispering Jiang Ye's name in Shen Qinghan's ear.

"Sis, you're not still watching that good-for-nothing, are you?"

Shen Yinyin rolled her eyes and said in a sharp and sarcastic tone:

"Look at his smug face! He's just lucky to have hooked up with that old woman Xia Yu, what's there to be proud of!"

"I bet his so-called 'boss of Kunlun Capital' title is just a hollow one Xia Yu gave him to keep him as a mistress! Deep down, he's still that spineless coward who only knows how to live off women!"

"Sister, don't be fooled by his appearance. A scoundrel like him doesn't deserve you at all! You're the young mistress of the Gu family now, and Young Master Gu treats you so well, you..."

"Shut up!"

Shen Yinyin hadn't finished speaking.

Shen Qinghan suddenly turned her head sharply and reprimanded her in a stern voice, which was unusual for her.

Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with an unprecedented anger and sharpness as she stared intently at Shen Yinyin.

"Sister... what's wrong?"

Shen Yinyin was startled by Shen Qinghan's sudden outburst, and almost dropped the wine glass in her hand. She stammered and asked.

In her memory, although her sister had a cold personality, she had never been so angry with her.

"What time is it?! You're still spouting nonsense!"

Shen Qinghan gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently, and he lost his temper—a rare occurrence for him.

"Jiang Ye is a good-for-nothing? Jiang Ye lives off a woman? Shen Yinyin, are you blind?!"

"If he's a good-for-nothing, how did he become the legal representative of Kunlun Capital?! If he's a good-for-nothing, why is Xia Yu so obedient to him?!"

Looking at her younger sister, who only knew how to spread rumors, Shen Qinghan suddenly felt a surge of intense sorrow and regret.

She looked back on the past seven years.

Every time she and Jiang Ye had a conflict, Shen Yinyin would fan the flames from the sidelines; every time Jiang Ye made silent sacrifices, Shen Yinyin would make sarcastic remarks and belittle Jiang Ye to nothing.

And she herself, like a brainless idiot, believed these slanders and hurt the man who truly loved her time and time again!

Shen Qinghan now felt that it was because she had listened to too many of her sister's lies and been blinded that she had lost such a precious relationship!

"From now on, you are not allowed to mention Jiang Ye's name in front of me even once! And you are not allowed to say anything bad about him!"

Shen Qinghan coldly uttered these words, not wanting to look at Shen Yinyin again, turned around, lifted the hem of her wedding dress, and left with heavy steps.

Shen Yinyin was left standing there, holding her wine glass, stunned.

She watched Shen Qinghan's resolute back as her face turned pale and then red, and finally could only grit her teeth and leave sheepishly.

……

the other side.

Jiang Ye drove his black Bentley smoothly across the bridge in Hanju.

Soft, soothing music played in the carriage.

Xia Yu leaned back in the leather passenger seat, her eyes slightly closed, seemingly a little tired.

"Thank you for today, Mr. Xia."

Jiang Ye gripped the steering wheel with both hands, staring straight ahead, and softly broke the silence inside the car.

"Consider it a huge favor I owe you. If Blue Ocean Investment ever needs my help in the future, just let me know."

Xia Yu slowly opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Jiang Ye's profile, which was flickering in and out of the light under the streetlight.

"You said it yourself."

Xia Yu's lips curled into a sly smile.

"I made a huge profit from this deal because of a favor done by the boss of Kunlun Capital."

Jiang Ye smiled and said nothing more.

After half an hour.

The Bentley came to a smooth stop in front of the Blue Ocean Group headquarters building.

Xia Yu needed to return to the office to work overtime because she had an urgent international contract to process.

"Alright, you can go back now. Drive carefully on the way."

Xia Yu handed the suit jacket back to Jiang Ye, opened the car door, and got out.

"Okay, don't work too late, take care of yourself."

Jiang Ye rolled down the car window, gave a word of advice, and then watched Xia Yu's tall and charming figure walk into the revolving door of the building before restarting the car and driving towards his apartment in Donghu.

Night was falling.

The streets of Hanju are gradually becoming less crowded with vehicles and pedestrians.

As Jiang Ye drove, his mind replayed everything that had happened at the engagement banquet that evening.

Shen Qinghan's shock, Gu Ziming's disheveled state, the true colors of the Shen family...

All of this struck him as incredibly ironic and laughable.

Fortunately, all of this is now completely over. From this day forward, Jiang Ye and the Shen family will go their separate ways, with no further connection whatsoever.

Just as Jiang Ye was lost in thought.

The car happened to be driving on a tree-lined road with dim streetlights.

Sudden.

Jiang Ye's gaze swept to the entrance of a small convenience store on the side of the road ahead.

There was an old woman with a full head of white hair, slumped on the ground, desperately pounding her thighs with her hands and letting out heart-wrenching cries.

Standing next to the old lady was a little girl, about five or six years old, wearing a pink princess dress.

Something's wrong with the little girl!

She clutched her neck tightly with both hands, her mouth agape, but no sound came out. Her once fair face was now a terrifying purplish-red, her eyes rolled back, and her body was convulsing violently; she was on the verge of suffocating and collapsing!

"Help! Someone please save my granddaughter! Xiaoya! Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?!"

The old woman was so anxious and confused that she could only cry out for help to those around her.

But in the middle of the night, there were hardly any pedestrians on this road.

"Oh no! Something's stuck in their throat!"

Jiang Ye's pupils contracted sharply as he made a judgment in an instant.

Without any hesitation.

"squeak--!"

Jiang Ye slammed on the brakes, and the Bentley came to a steady stop with a screeching sound of tires screeching on the side of the road.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Jiang Ye had already pushed open the car door and pounced out like a cheetah.

"Sir, move aside! I'm a doctor!"

Jiang Ye roared and charged directly behind the little girl named Xiaoya.

The situation was extremely critical; the little girl's consciousness was beginning to fade, and her body was about to collapse to the ground.

Jiang Ye hugged Xiao Ya from behind.

He quickly knelt down on one knee, adjusted his height, and made the little girl lean forward slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ye clenched his left fist and placed the side of his thumb two fingers above the little girl's navel. His right hand tightly wrapped around his left fist.

Heimlich maneuver!

"one two three!"

Jiang Ye silently counted the rhythm in his mind, then suddenly exerted force with both arms, thrusting inward and upward, delivering a rapid and powerful impact to the little girl's abdomen!

a bit!

Two!

Three times!

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Ye's forehead, but his movements were steady and precise, and he dared not slack off in the slightest.

Just as Jiang Ye was about to make his fifth attack.

"puff!"

It was accompanied by a muffled thud.

A round, blood-streaked hard candy suddenly shot out of Xiaoya's mouth and rolled a long way on the ground.

"Wow--!"

The moment the foreign object was expelled, fresh air rushed into her lungs. Xiaoya finally let out a loud, heart-wrenching cry.

Her originally purplish-red face began to slowly regain its color.
