After the divorce, he went on a motorcycle trip, and his ex-wife and daughter were filled with regre

at the same time.

In Hanzhou City, in the luxurious villa of the Shen family that once symbolized status and wealth.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like it was about to burst, and the air was thick with a sense of decay and despair.

Shen Qinghan sat slumped on the leather sofa in the living room, her hair disheveled. Her eyes were red and swollen like two ripe walnuts, and the floor was littered with wads of tissues used to wipe her tears.

What happened at the charity gala last night was a devastating disaster for her!

She was stopped at the door by security guards like a dog, and was publicly ridiculed by socialites who were not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

The most fatal thing was that Xia Yu, that aloof ice queen, ruthlessly trampled her dignity into the ground!

What devastated her most and caused her unbearable pain was Jiang Ye's attitude!

Jiang Ye didn't even glance at her once from beginning to end!

That kind of cold indifference to the bone, that look of looking at her like she was trash, was a million times more painful for her than being slapped twice!

"Sis, stop crying! What's the use of crying? Will tears make the stocks rise again? Will they stop the bank from foreclosing on the house?"

Shen Yinyin sat beside her, looking at her sister's half-dead and dejected state, and stamped her feet anxiously, her tone full of frustration.

The Shen family's stocks have plummeted to rock bottom, their cash flow has completely dried up, and the bank's collection calls are so frequent they're practically exploding on their phones.

If they can't get on Jiang Ye's good side, their whole family will have to beg on the streets and sleep in cardboard boxes under the overpass!

"Get it back? How?"

Shen Qinghan raised her head, her face full of despair, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken bellows.

"Didn't you see how arrogant that bitch Xia Yu was last night? Jiang Ye's eyes are only on her now, he's completely ignoring me! I can't even get close to him, how am I supposed to pursue him?"

Shen Yinyin's eyes darted around, then she suddenly slapped her thigh, a sinister and calculating smile spreading across her face.

"Sis, are you stupid?! Don't you still have an ace up your sleeve? An ace that Jiang Ye absolutely cannot refuse!"

"Ace? What ace?" Shen Qinghan was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashing in his empty eyes.

"Words from the heart!"

Shen Yinyin leaned close to Shen Qinghan's ear, lowered her voice, and came up with a vicious and terrible idea.

"Sister, think about it carefully. When Jiang Ye used to be our servant, how good was he to Xinyu? He treated her like a precious gem!"

"Men may be ruthless towards their wives, but their own flesh and blood are their absolute Achilles' heel!"

"As long as we use telepathy to lure Jiang Ye out, then you can dress up nicely, act pitiful, be affectionate, and shed a few tears. I refuse to believe that Jiang Ye is truly heartless enough to stand by and watch you and your daughter suffer!"

Upon hearing her sister's words, Shen Qinghan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yup!

Words from the heart!

Jiang Ye loves his daughter so much, there's absolutely no way he would ignore Xinyu's life or death!

Moreover, recently, Xinyu's attitude towards Jiang Ye has changed a lot, and she no longer calls him a good-for-nothing like before.

This is absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"But... Xinyu is perfectly fine now, lively and energetic, how can we trick him into coming out?" Shen Qinghan was still a little hesitant, after all, she was his own daughter.

"Oh my dear sister! Where did all that cleverness you have when dealing with competitors in the business world go?"

Shen Yinyin rolled her eyes in exasperation.

"If she's not sick, we can pretend to be! We'll say Xinyu has a high fever, up to 40 degrees Celsius, and is crying and shouting for her dad! Jiang Ye will be as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof when he hears that, and he'll rush over right away!"

Shen Qinghan bit her lip hard, struggling internally for a moment.

Although she felt that using her daughter was somewhat despicable and shameless, under the immense pressure of the family's bankruptcy and the panic of losing Jiang Ye, she couldn't care less about that anymore.

"Okay! We'll do it your way!"

Shen Qinghan suddenly stood up, a hint of determination and madness flashing in his eyes.

She immediately rushed into the luxurious walk-in closet on the second floor and began rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for clothes.

Since we're going to stage a self-inflicted injury ruse, we have to go all the way and win Jiang Ye's soul back!

She picked and chose from a pile of designer clothes and finally selected a black silk slip dress.

The neckline of this nightgown was very low, and the hem was extremely short, barely covering the top of her thighs, showcasing her stunning figure and fair skin to the fullest.

To avoid looking too deliberate, she casually draped a thin knitted cardigan over her shoulders.

This creates a sense of pitiful fragility, as if the person is rushing out the door in worry about their daughter getting sick, without even having time to change their clothes.

Then, she pulled out a nearly empty bottle of perfume from the deepest part of the dressing table.

That was a birthday gift Jiang Ye gave her, using the money he had saved from delivering food. It was a niche perfume with a faint jasmine scent.

Jiang Ye once hugged her and said that he liked the smell of her body the most, because he thought it was particularly clean.

Shen Qinghan sprayed some on her wrists, behind her ears, and collarbone, took a deep breath, and looked at her sexy and charming self in the mirror, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.

"Jiang Ye, I refuse to believe you can truly be indifferent to me! You loved me so much before, I don't believe you've completely forgotten!"

After preparing everything, Shen Qinghan went to the living room and pulled Shen Xinyu, who was watching cartoons, over.

"Xinyu, be a good girl, listen to Mommy. When you call Daddy later, cry loudly and say you're sick, your head hurts so much, and you want Daddy to come see you, okay?"

Shen Xinyu blinked her big eyes, looking at her mother with a blank expression.

"But Mom, I'm not sick. My head doesn't hurt, and I'm watching Peppa Pig."

"Oh dear, just say what I tell you to say! Do you want to see Dad or not?" Shen Qinghan urged impatiently, her tone becoming more forceful.

Upon hearing that she could see her father, Shen Xinyu immediately nodded obediently.

"think!"

Shen Qinghan immediately took out her phone, dialed the number she had already removed from her blacklist, and then handed the phone to her daughter.

The phone rang for a long time, the dial tone like a hammer pounding on Shen Qinghan's heart.

Just when she thought Jiang Ye wouldn't answer, the call finally went through.

"Feed?"

On the other end of the phone came Jiang Ye's deep and indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion.

Shen Qinghan quickly gave her daughter a wink and then secretly and forcefully pinched her thigh.

"Wow--"

Shen Xinyu cried out in pain and burst into tears, which streamed down her face like a broken string of tears.

"Daddy! Daddy, I miss you! Waaaaah..."

Hearing his daughter's heart-wrenching cries, Jiang Ye's heart clenched on the other end of the phone, and his previously indifferent voice instantly turned anxious.
