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

next second.

Xia Yu froze completely!

Her eyes widened, her face filled with shock as she stared at the tall figure standing in the shadows.

"Jiang...Jiang Ye?"

Xia Yu's voice trembled slightly.

She never expected Jiang Ye to appear here!

Wasn't he in Hanzhou? When did he come to Yanjing?

Did he...see everything that just happened in the meeting room?

A sudden surge of panic welled up in Xia Yu's heart. She subconsciously took a step to the side, increasing the distance between herself and Wang Sizhe.

Wang Sizhe also noticed Jiang Ye. He frowned slightly, a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.

"Xia Yu, and who is this?" Wang Sizhe looked at Jiang Ye, his tone carrying a hint of arrogant superiority.

Jiang Ye ignored Wang Sizhe, took long strides, emerged from the shadows, and walked straight up to Xia Yu.

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Jiang Ye's gloomy face, which seemed to drip water, Xia Yu felt even more flustered.

"How did I get here?"

Jiang Ye sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"If I hadn't come, how could I have witnessed such a spectacular show?"

"President Xia is so charming; she's surrounded by admirers wherever she goes."

"Even the eldest son of the Wang family in Yanjing has fallen at your feet."

Jiang Ye's words were like barbed whips, lashing Xia Yu's heart.

Xia Yu's face turned pale instantly.

"Jiang Ye, let me explain, it's not what you think..."

"Not what I thought? Then what was it?"

Jiang Ye interrupted Xia Yu without any politeness, staring at her with a sharp gaze.

"He confessed his feelings to you in public just now inside, why didn't you reject him?"

"What did you mean by 'I need time to think about it'?"

"Are you really considering becoming this young master Wang's girlfriend?"

Jiang Ye's relentless pressure made Xia Yu feel suffocated.

She bit her lip, a hint of grievance and struggle flashing in her eyes.

"Jiang Ye, can you calm down and listen to me?"

Xia Yu took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice steady.

"The reason I didn't reject him on the spot was because... because of the Genting Town project!"

"Cloud Top Town?" Jiang Ye frowned.

"right!"

Xia Yu explained eagerly.

"Although Genting Town is currently undergoing renovations, its subsequent operation and promotion will require extremely large amounts of funding and resources!"

"The Wang family holds a pivotal position in Beijing's cultural and tourism circle. If we can secure their investment and distribution channels, Yunding Town will definitely be an instant hit!"

"I came to Yanjing this time to discuss cooperation with Wang Sizhe!"

"If I had rejected him in public just now, embarrassing him, then the collaboration would have been completely ruined!"

"I just want to keep him calm for now, and then find an excuse to reject him once I've secured the investment!"

"Jiang Ye, I did all of this for Cloudtop Town, for all our hard work!"

Xia Yu looked at Jiang Ye with hopeful eyes, hoping that Jiang Ye could understand her predicament.

but.

After hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Jiang Ye's expression did not soften at all; instead, it became even colder.

"For Genting Town?"

Jiang Ye laughed in extreme anger, his laughter filled with disappointment and sorrow.

"Xia Yu, do you think I, Jiang Ye, am a good-for-nothing who can't even support his own woman's career?"

"Do you think that Cloud Peak Town can't survive without the Wang family of Yanjing?"

Jiang Ye suddenly took a step forward, and his powerful aura instantly enveloped Xia Yu.

"I'm telling you, Xia Yu!"

"Kunlun Capital will cover all the funding needed for the Cloud Top Town project!"

"Whatever resources Cloudtop Town needs, I, Jiang Ye, will get them for you, even if it means selling everything I own!"

"My woman, Jiang Ye's woman, doesn't need to feign affection for other men! She doesn't need to sell her feelings to get some damn investment!"

"I can give you everything you want!"

Jiang Ye's roar echoed through the empty streets.

Xia Yu's eyes welled up with tears after being stung by Jiang Ye's domineering and hurtful words.

"Jiang Ye! You're utterly unreasonable!"

Xia Yu was also furious. She felt that Jiang Ye didn't understand her good intentions at all.

"Do you think doing business is child's play? Do you think money alone can solve everything?"

"Can your Kunlun Capital compare to the Wang family's connections and channels in Yanjing?"

"I did this to maximize my profits! What did I do wrong!"

Why are you always so domineering and self-righteous!

The two stood on the street and a heated argument broke out.

Wang Sizhe stood aside, watching the two argue fiercely, a smug smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

He had long realized that the relationship between this man named Jiang Ye and Xia Yu was unusual.

But so what?

In Yanjing, on Wang Sizhe's turf, there wasn't a woman he couldn't win over!

"Xia Yu, it seems this gentleman doesn't understand your business ambitions."

Wang Sizhe chimed in at the opportune moment, his tone clearly provocative and divisive.

"If you find this difficult, we can discuss the cooperation further."

"Shut up! You have no right to speak here!"

Jiang Ye suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping across Wang Sizhe's face like a sharp blade.

Wang Sizhe was startled by Jiang Ye's terrifying gaze and subconsciously took half a step back, his face turning somewhat pale.

Jiang Ye ignored Wang Sizhe and turned to give Xia Yu a deep look.

That one look contained so much disappointment, heartache, and resolve.

"Since you think the Wang family's resources are more important than mine, and since you think your business ambitions need to be realized in this way..."

"Alright then."

"I will grant your wish."

Jiang Ye's voice became calmer than ever before, so calm that it was frightening.

"I wish you and Young Master Wang a pleasant collaboration."

Done.

Jiang Ye didn't look at Xia Yu again, turned around, and strode towards the end of the street.

His back view was resolute and aloof, without the slightest trace of lingering affection.

"Jiang Ye! Stop right there!"

As Xia Yu watched Jiang Ye's departing figure, a sudden surge of intense panic welled up in her heart.

She had a premonition that if Jiang Ye left today, she might lose this man forever!

She instinctively wanted to chase after him.

However, as soon as she took a step, Wang Sizhe grabbed her wrist.

"Xia Yu, we still need to discuss the details of the collaboration further. How about we go to the restaurant I booked and talk over a meal?" Wang Sizhe said with a smile.

Xia Yu looked at Wang Sizhe, then at Jiang Ye's figure that was about to disappear into the night.

She gritted her teeth, and finally stopped.

Jiang Ye, his face dark, sped all the way to Yanjing Airport.

He bought a red-eye ticket for the last flight to Hanju.
