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

Seeing this, Han Qingru and Xia Yu also gave Shen Qinghan a cold glance on the ground before following him out in their high heels.

"Bang!"

The door to the ward was slammed shut, shutting out the crying inside.

The light from the incandescent bulbs in the hospital corridor was somewhat dazzling.

Jiang Ye leaned against the cold wall, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth, but couldn't light it for a long time.

His eyes were somewhat vacant, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his whole body exuded a heartbreaking sense of dejection.

Han Qingru's eyes reddened with heartache when she saw her younger brother like this.

She stepped forward, extended her fair fingers, gently removed the cigarette from Jiang Ye's mouth, and sighed.

"Xiao Ye, your older sister understands your suffering and knows that the Shen family are scoundrels."

Han Qingru's voice became incredibly gentle, filled with the loving kindness of an elder sister.

"But Xinyu is your own daughter after all. What does a child know? Isn't everything taught by adults? Weren't you being a little too cold to her just now? You can't treat your own flesh and blood like that; it will hurt her."

In Han Qingru's traditional view, blood ties are stronger than water and are greater than anything else.

She felt that Jiang Ye had been too heartless by not even holding the child.

however.

As soon as Han Qingru finished speaking, Xia Yu, who was standing to the side, let out a cold laugh.

"Chairman Han, I don't like hearing that."

Xia Yu crossed her arms, her stunningly beautiful, icy face filled with disapproval, her tone sharp as a knife.

"What do you mean 'a child doesn't know any better'? What do you mean 'you can't treat your own daughter like that'? Jiang Ye did an excellent job just now! It was a textbook example of a counterattack!"

Xia Yu took a step forward in her high heels, looking directly into Han Qingru's eyes, her aura undiminished.

"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. How did Shen Xinyu treat Jiang Ye before? She smashed her own father's head with an ashtray! That could kill someone! Jiang Ye's heart was already broken!"

"Jiang Ye is a person, a man of flesh and blood, not some saintly white lotus flower to be manipulated! Why should he be expected to forgive someone who hurt him without any limits just because of the saying 'blood is thicker than water'? Isn't this blatant moral blackmail?"

Xia Yu's words were forceful and logically sound, and were spoken from a completely rational perspective, upholding Jiang Ye's dignity.

Upon hearing this, Han Qingru's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Good heavens, in Hanju, no one has ever dared to talk back to her like this!

"Mr. Xia, what do you mean by that?"

Han Qingru narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, a dangerous signal flashing in her gaze, instantly releasing the oppressive aura of a multinational female tycoon.

"This is a family matter for the Jiang family! As Jiang Ye's eldest sister, I'm disciplining my own brother. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"

Xia Yu did not back down, her chin slightly raised, like a proud white swan.

"Chairman Han, let me correct you on one point. I am not an outsider; I am Jiang Ye's strategic partner and his most trusted ally."

"Jiang Ye's emotional stability is directly related to the progress of our Blue Ocean Group and Kunlun Capital's subsequent multi-billion dollar projects. I'm standing here to protect my partner's mental health and prevent him from being negatively impacted by your traditional family values!"

"You!" Han Qingru laughed angrily, "What a sharp-tongued, ice-cold CEO! I think you just want to take advantage of my brother's weakness and steal him away!"

"If that's what Chairman Han thinks, there's nothing I can do. After all, there's always a discerning woman by the side of an outstanding man." Xia Yu's lips curled into a provocative smile.

Finished!

Jiang Ye, leaning against the wall, felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the tense scene before him, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

It looks like a clash of titans is about to unfold in this corridor!

On the left is the domineering and protective eldest sister, Han Qingru, whose fighting prowess is off the charts.

On the right is Xia Yu, the aloof, cunning, and logically perfect ice queen.

If these two women really started fighting here, they could probably blow the roof off the First Municipal Hospital!

Moreover, the core of their argument was always about protecting themselves!

This puts Jiang Ye in a difficult position, making it impossible for him to help anyone or advise anyone.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best!

"Um... Sister, Ms. Xia, please continue your conversation!"

Jiang Ye suddenly stood up straight, pretending to be extremely anxious, and slapped his thigh.

"Oh no! I suddenly remembered, I forgot to turn off the gas stove when I left! There are still ribs stewing in the pot! If I don't go back soon, I'll blow up Donghu Apartment!"

"I'm outta here! You guys keep discussing your life philosophies! Bye-bye!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Jiang Ye was like a husky whose tail had been stepped on; he took off running down the stairs in the corridor.

His escape speed was even faster than Usain Bolt's; he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only the echoing sound of his hurried footsteps remained in the stairwell.

Han Qingru and Xia Yu were both stunned.

The two stared at each other, dumbfounded, in the direction Jiang Ye had disappeared, for a full five seconds.

Then.

"Pfft—"

Han Qingru couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.

Her smile instantly dissolved the tense atmosphere.

Xia Yu's perpetually icy face blossomed into a bright and captivating smile, as if touched by a spring breeze.

"That brat, he can't even come up with a decent excuse. The entire Donghu Apartment is equipped with smart home technology, where would he find a gas stove to stew ribs?" Han Qingru said with a laugh, but her eyes were full of doting affection.

"Running faster than a rabbit, the dignified head of Kunlun Capital is actually scared like this, it's truly an unbelievable situation." Xia Yu also shook his head, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

The two top beauties, who were just fighting like cats and dogs, miraculously reconciled because of Jiang Ye's comical escape.

The corridor echoed with the clear, melodious laughter of two women, as sweet as silver bells, creating a beautiful scene.

At this time.

The door to the VIP ward was quietly opened a crack.

Shen Qinghan slumped to the floor behind the door, staring intently at the scene in the corridor through the narrow crack in the door.

She saw Jiang Ye's retreating figure, and she also saw Han Qingru and Xia Yu's genuine, radiant smiles.

that moment.

Shen Qinghan felt worse than if she had swallowed ten thousand flies!

It felt even worse!

She looked down at the cheap slip dress she was wearing, which she had deliberately torn into a mess to seduce her.

Then look at those two women in the corridor, dressed in haute couture suits, exuding a powerful aura and radiating brilliance.

An unprecedented sense of inferiority and frustration overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.

She finally realized with clarity that she had lost.

A complete and utter defeat, utterly crushed!

Her once-proud beauty and the manipulative tactics she thought she could use to manipulate Jiang Ye were nothing but a huge joke in the face of absolute strength and sincerity!

Jiang Ye's world has completely closed its doors to her.

And standing inside that door is a woman ten thousand times better than her!

Shen Qinghan closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming silently down her face. Her fingernails dug deep into the cracks in the floor, but she could no longer hold onto the man who once had eyes only for her.
