Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

The next morning, all the employee groups of the Jiang Group were filled with stories about Minister He's sister and brother-in-law.

Messages kept popping up, making the group chat even more lively than during the Lunar New Year. Some were just watching the excitement, some were spreading rumors and causing trouble, and others were taking the opportunity to create a festive atmosphere.

Ye Chen, the true protagonist of the story, is completely unaware of all of this.

He was lying on his bed in his room, fast asleep.

Jiang Ruoxi has been under a lot of pressure lately because the new energy project is not progressing well, and she can't sleep at night.

Jiang Ruoxi woke up a little after five in the morning. She lay there for a while but couldn't fall back asleep, so she simply opened her phone and checked the work group.

She has a secondary account lurking in various departmental groups of the Jiang Group. This is a method she uses to manage the company and keep track of employee activities in real time.

As soon as Jiang Ruoxi logged into her alternate account, she noticed that the group chats for each department were much more lively than usual, with hundreds of short messages.

Once inside, I found that the screen was filled with messages discussing He Jianping's post on WeChat Moments.

Jiang Ruoxi opened the screenshot and her expression changed instantly.

In the photo, Ye Chen and He Jianping's younger sister, He Lingling, are standing face to face, very close to each other.

He Lingling looked up at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with admiration and reluctance. Ye Chen lowered his head slightly, his expression unreadable. Judging from the photo alone, the two looked incredibly intimate.

Add to that He Jianping's classic literary embellishment: younger sister and brother-in-law.

Jiang Ruoxi stared at the photo for a while, then put her phone face down on the bedside table, turned over, and closed her eyes.

Ye Chen and He Jianping were drinking last night and didn't get back until evening. He even kindly rewarded them with hangover tea.

Jiang Ruoxi was shocked to find explosive news as soon as she woke up in the morning.

Jiang Ruoxi's icy face was filled with anger, but she didn't explode.

After lying there calmly for ten minutes, she realized that she didn't need to argue with a young girl. Besides, she knew everything they talked about last night, and there was nothing excessive about it!

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly buried her head in the blanket, touching her face. What was wrong with her? Even if Ye Chen was with other women, she shouldn't interfere, right? Why was she having such thoughts? Could it be...?

After thinking for a long time, she finally picked up her phone and sent Ye Chen a WeChat message.

After sending the message, she tossed her phone aside and pulled the blanket over her head again.

Ye Chen was woken up by his alarm clock at 6:30 a.m. After struggling for a while, he reluctantly got out of bed.

He rubbed his eyes, picked up his phone to check the time, and immediately saw the message Jiang Ruoxi had sent that morning.

"Get up early, you can make breakfast."

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment. Jiang Ruoxi had never asked for breakfast before: Why was this woman texting him so early in the morning asking for breakfast? Was she hungry?

Ye Chen didn't think much of it. He turned off his phone, got out of bed, washed up, and went into the kitchen to start cooking.

Tomato and egg noodles, plus two poached eggs, a fruit salad, and a glass of warm milk.

This is Jiang Ruoxi's favorite breakfast combination lately.

At 7:00 a.m. sharp, Jiang Ruoxi came downstairs on time.

She was wearing a black business suit today, her hair was neatly styled, and her expression was even colder than usual.

Ye Chen came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles, greeting her with a grin, "Wife, breakfast is ready, eat it while it's hot!"

Jiang Ruoxi sat down at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, took a noodle, put it in her mouth, chewed it slowly, and then put down her chopsticks.

"Too much salt was added to the noodles today."

Ye Chen was taken aback: "Did I put in too much? Let me taste it... It's not salty, the same amount as usual."

"I said it's salty, and it's salty. Also, the milk is way too hot."

Jiang Ruoxi took a small sip of milk and then spat it out.

Ye Chen was completely baffled. Why was this woman acting like she was on steroids today?

He asked tentatively, "Honey, did you not sleep well last night? Is something on your mind?"

Jiang Ruoxi raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her gaze carrying an indescribable meaning, then lowered her head to continue eating her noodles without answering.

Ye Chen was about to ask another question when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was a call from He Jianping.

"Hey, Minister He, what brings you here so early?"

He Jianping's extremely anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Ye... I'm so sorry, I think I've messed up!"

"Minister He, take your time and tell me slowly. What exactly did you do wrong?"

"Brother Ye, didn't you check your phone? You'll see when you do."

"I haven't checked it yet, my phone's in the bedroom! Just tell me, what's up?"

Ye Chen was getting impatient and demanded that He Jianping speak frankly.

"Brother Ye, I... I drank too much last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and was scrolling through my WeChat Moments when I accidentally posted a photo of you and Lingling together, and... I even wrote 'sister and brother-in-law' on it..."

Ye Chen's expression instantly changed: "My goodness, what did you say? Are you trying to kill me?"

Ye Chen quickly ran to the bedroom, took out his phone and looked at it. This was really famous throughout the company. How could he ever face anyone again?

"Dude, I really drank too much, it wasn't intentional! When I woke up this morning and checked my phone, my WeChat Moments was exploding, and all the company group chats were talking about it. I didn't even have time to delete it. At the very least, the entire company basically knows about it now..."

Ye Chen felt like he had fallen into an abyss. No wonder Jiang Ruoxi sent him a message in the morning to make breakfast and deliberately picked a fight. The reason was this.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked calmly, "When was the photo taken? How come I don't know about it?"

"Yes...it was yesterday when Hailong took this picture casually after the event. I thought it was pretty good, so...I just couldn't resist taking a picture...Brother Ye, you'd better think of something to do now, the whole company is talking about you being my brother-in-law..."

Ye Chen hung up the phone, his mind buzzing.

He Jianping is truly more trouble than he's worth, and even if Ye Chen wanted to scold him, it wouldn't make up for it.

Ye Chen suddenly remembered that Jiang Ruoxi was still eating noodles at the dining table. When he turned to look at Jiang Ruoxi, their eyes met.

"Wife...wife, let me explain..."

Jiang Ruoxi did not answer, but slowly stood up and casually pulled out a napkin to wipe her mouth.

"What's there to explain? Both are unmarried, it's a normal phenomenon. Besides, Minister He's sister is quite beautiful; they're a perfect match, congratulations, Vice Minister Ye..."

After saying that, Jiang Ruoxi picked up her bag, put on her high heels, and walked out of the villa without looking back.

This time, she didn't wait for Ye Chen and left on her own.

Ye Chen stood alone in the restaurant, looking at the bowl of noodles on the table that was half-eaten, feeling like crying but unable to. This was the most painful situation.

"It's over. Now I can't clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River," Ye Chen muttered to himself.
