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

More than ten hours later.

An international flight from New York landed slowly at Hanju International Airport.

At this time, Hanju had already entered early winter.

As soon as I stepped out of the airport terminal, a biting cold wind hit me in the face.

Shen Qinghan, wearing only a thin autumn trench coat, shivered from the cold. Shen Xinyu huddled in Gu Ziming's arms, repeatedly complaining of the cold.

Looking at the long line of taxis outside the airport, Shen Qinghan frowned as usual.

She suddenly realized that this trip back to China was a last-minute decision, and she hadn't notified the company driver to pick her up from the airport in advance.

In the past, whenever she made a phone call, Jiang Ye would arrive within half an hour in his Maybach, with the heater on full blast, and park it in the most conspicuous spot at the airport to wait for her, no matter what he was doing.

Thinking of Jiang Ye, Shen Qinghan's anger flared up again.

She hasn't settled the score with him yet for the phone call he made a few days ago that got her blocked!

"Zimo, take Xinyu and wait in a sheltered place for a while. I'm going to make a phone call."

Shen Qinghan took out her phone, found Jiang Ye's number, and dialed it with a cold face.

As expected, it still showed "The number you dialed is currently busy".

"That bastard still hasn't removed me from his blacklist!" Shen Qinghan gritted her teeth in anger.

Her eyes darted around, and she opened WeChat. She could block phone numbers, but she couldn't just delete WeChat contacts, could she?

She clicked on Jiang Ye's WeChat profile picture and made a video call.

At that moment, Jiang Ye was in his apartment in Donghu, having just finished a set of push-ups and wiping away sweat with a towel. Hearing his phone ring, he picked it up and saw a WeChat video call invitation from Shen Qinghan.

Jiang Ye sneered. He wanted to hang up immediately, but after thinking about it, he pressed the answer button instead.

The video call connected, and Shen Qinghan's face, distorted by coldness and anger, appeared on the screen.

"Jiang Ye! You think you've gotten so bold? You actually dared to block my number!"

Shen Qinghan immediately launched into a tirade, her tone full of condescending authority, "I'm giving you half an hour to drive to the airport and pick us up! Do you know how cold Xinyu is? If you dare to be even a minute late, you'll see what I do to you when we get back!"

Jiang Ye looked at the imperious woman on the screen and listened to her self-righteous tone, feeling nauseous.

He didn't apologize obsequiously as before, nor did he rush to get his car keys.

He simply looked calmly at the camera and coldly interrupted Shen Qinghan before she could finish her rant.

"Are you done talking?"

Shen Qinghan was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Jiang Ye to react this way: "What kind of attitude is this...?"

"Take a taxi," Jiang Ye said expressionlessly. "I've already moved out of the villa halfway up the mountain. I left the car keys in the cabinet in the entryway. Don't bother me with your messy affairs anymore."

After saying that, Jiang Ye didn't give Shen Qinghan any time to react and directly pressed the hang-up button.

"beep--"

Shen Qinghan froze on the spot as she stared at her phone screen that went completely black.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and she suddenly came to her senses, trembling with anger.

"Jiang Ye! You bastard!" Shen Qinghan couldn't help but curse in public, "You're completely lawless! You moved out? Fine, then don't ever come back begging me for anything!"

Gu Ziming carried Shen Xinyu over and asked with feigned concern, "Qinghan, what's wrong? Jiang Ye won't come to pick us up?"

"Don't mention that good-for-nothing!" Shen Qinghan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "He actually said he moved out and told us to take a taxi ourselves! That's outrageous!"

Gu Ziming was secretly pleased; the more Jiang Ye courted death, the more secure his position in the Shen family would become.

"Alright, Qinghan, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick from it. Jiang Ye is probably just throwing a tantrum. He'll go back in a few days when he runs out of money," Gu Ziming said understandingly. "It's too cold. Don't let Xinyu get cold. Let's hurry up and queue up for a taxi."

The president of the prestigious Shen Group could only stand in line for more than half an hour in the cold wind like an ordinary person before finally getting into a taxi with a strong odor.

The taxi drove towards the city center in the darkness.

Inside the car, Gu Ziming glanced at the route outside the window and said, feigning consideration, "Driver, could you please drop off the mother and daughter at the Mid-Mountain Cloud Top Villa Area first, and then take me back to my apartment in the eastern suburbs?"

The apartment in the eastern suburbs was an old, run-down place that Gu Ziming rented before returning to China.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinyu immediately protested and clung tightly to Gu Ziming's arm.

"No! I don't want Zimo's dad to leave!" Shen Xinyu pleaded. "Zimo's dad, come back to the big house with us! Anyway, that stinky dad isn't here, and the big house is all empty. My mom and I are scared to stay here!"

Gu Ziming was secretly thrilled; he dreamed of living in one of those top-tier luxury neighborhoods. But outwardly, he feigned hesitation.

"Xinyu, how can Zimo's father stay at your house? It's against the rules, and people will gossip if they see it." Gu Zimo patted Shen Xinyu's head, but his eyes secretly glanced at Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan was still troubled by Jiang Ye's matter, but after hearing her daughter's words and seeing Gu Ziming's "wronged" look, she immediately made a decision.

Didn't Jiang Ye move out? Wasn't he trying to force her to back down this way?

But she refused to do as he wished!

"Zi Mo, Xin Yu is right," Shen Qinghan said, her tone leaving no room for argument. "It's too late for you to travel all the way back to the eastern suburbs by yourself. Come stay with us. There are plenty of rooms in the villa, and it'll be convenient for you to stay in the guest room on the first floor. We're going to a meeting at the company together tomorrow, so staying together will make it easier to discuss work."

"This...this isn't quite right, is it?" Gu Ziming was still pretending to decline.

"What's wrong with that? I'm the master of this house, and I make the decisions," Shen Qinghan declared decisively.

More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped outside the gate of the hillside villa area.

Since taxis couldn't get in, the three of them had to carry their luggage and walk in.

When Gu Ziming pushed open the heavy bronze door and walked into the luxurious villa, which covered more than 800 square meters and was decorated in a magnificent style, a hint of undisguised greed flashed in his eyes.

A huge crystal chandelier, expensive leather sofas, smart home technology throughout the house…

Gu Ziming watched all this with increasing smugness.

That idiot Jiang Ye actually gave up such a good life. Now that he's gone, this mansion and the wealth of the Shen Group will eventually belong to Gu Ziming!

"Zimo, why don't you go to the guest room on the first floor and take a shower and rest? You must be tired after such a long flight." Shen Qinghan instructed the housekeeper, Aunt Liu, to tidy up Gu Zimo's room, while she took her daughter upstairs.

Gu Ziming walked into the spacious guest room and took a comfortable hot shower.

After changing into his pajamas, he didn't rest immediately. Instead, he went to a corner of the room, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The phone was answered after ringing twice, and a loud voice from a middle-aged woman came from the other end.

"Hey? Son! You finally called your mom! How are things in the US? When are you coming back?"

The person making the call was Gu Ziming's mother, Li Shufen.

"Mom, I'm back in China now, in Hanzhou." Gu Ziming lowered his voice, his tone revealing barely concealed excitement.

"Oh dear! You're back, why didn't you go home? Where did you go?" Li Shufen asked hurriedly.

"Mom, guess where I am right now?" Gu Ziming smiled smugly. "I'm living in Shen Qinghan's villa on the hillside! It's in the most expensive area of ​​Hanzhou, a house there costs tens of millions!"

"Really?!" Li Shufen exclaimed on the other end of the phone. "Son, you've really made something of yourself! What about that good-for-nothing husband of Shen Qinghan? Would he agree to let you move in?"

"Tch, that good-for-nothing Jiang Ye, I've already driven him away from home." Gu Ziming sneered. "Mom, don't worry, the poaching is going very smoothly. Shen Qinghan listens to me like a log now, even her little brat clings to me and calls me 'Dad' every day. When I go to the company tomorrow, Shen Qinghan is even going to arrange a department head position for me!"

"Oh my good son, you've really made your mother proud!" Li Shufen beamed from ear to ear. "Then you'd better hurry up and make it a done deal, so Shen Qinghan can divorce that good-for-nothing! Once you're the head of the Shen family, your mother can finally enjoy a life of leisure with you!"

"That's for sure." A calculating glint flashed in Gu Ziming's eyes. "Mom, just wait a little longer. Once I've completely taken control of Shen Qinghan and gotten my hands on the money from the Shen Group, I'll definitely buy you a big villa in Hanzhou, hire two maids to take care of you, and let you live the life of the elite!"

Gu Ziming is a typical mama's boy, having listened to Li Shufen in everything since childhood. A large part of the reason he returned to China to get close to Shen Qinghan was because Li Shufen was behind the scenes, urging him to get close to this rich woman.

"Okay, okay! Mom is counting on you!" Li Shufen happily agreed repeatedly.

Just as Gu Ziming was about to discuss the wonderful future with his mother, there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.
