Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

Since then, Su Fengnan has rarely called her parents, never told them how she was doing, and never went to places like KTV or bars again. She often went shopping alone, effectively isolating herself.

But when people suppress their emotions for too long, the explosion is uncontrollable. After countless arguments and even physical altercations, Yan Yun said things like "Everything in the house belongs to him," which completely broke Su Fengnan's heart, and she decided to give up on the marriage.

At that time, they got married, bought a house and a car, and also started a small electronics company.

Su Fengnan chose the location when buying the house; it was near the South Gate of Rongcheng, on the first ring road, with convenient transportation, location, teachers, and daily life. However, despite having great potential for appreciation, Su Fengnan, in order to get a divorce quickly, didn't take anything, essentially leaving with nothing but 10,000 yuan in cash.

At that moment, all she wanted was to escape as quickly as possible; she didn't care about anything else.

On the day of the divorce, Yan Yun seemed to say something like, "I know you're right about many things, but I just don't want to hear it. Why do you have to dictate how I should act like you're giving orders? I'm your man, not your son."

"So that's why you always argue with me and do the opposite of what I say?"

"Yes."

Su Fengnan was so angry at his words that she laughed. She glanced at him indifferently, took the divorce certificate, and left without looking back.

Looking back now, it really was a bargain for Yan Yun. The business they built together from scratch was just given away to someone else for nothing. Even if he were to be reborn, he would still feel uneasy.

Yan Yun was still on the phone, completely unaware that Su Fengnan had already gotten up and come downstairs. She had just pushed open the door of Dicos (a fast-food chain) when she heard Yan Yun's hurried footsteps behind her.

"Su Fengnan!"

Hearing his voice, Su Fengnan instinctively quickened her pace. But she was already weak, and her speed was negligible compared to Yan Yun's. Just as she reached the entrance of the Zijiang Hotel, Yan Yun caught up with her, blocking her way, his eyes red with anger.

"Didn't you promise you wouldn't leave? Why are you running away?"

Su Fengnan laughed in exasperation. Having been stopped like this time and again, her frustration and physical discomfort combined, and her temper was about to flare up. Cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead again. She forced back her anger and asked, word by word, "Yan Yun, what exactly do you want?"

Meanwhile, inside the Zijiang Hotel.

Zhou Chenyu was sitting and talking with an elderly man with gray hair.

"Mr. Chen, these are all my grandmother's medical records. Please take a look and see if there's any way to help."

The old man took the documents and carefully reviewed them, his brow gradually furrowing. "Hmm, judging from the data, the situation is indeed not optimistic. Look here," he pointed to a spot on the CT scan, "it's already started to atrophy. Has she started to lose her memory recently?"

Zhou Chenyu thought for a moment and confirmed, "Yes. We ate pickled fish yesterday, and she's already asking for it again today, saying I didn't buy it for her yesterday."

The old man sighed softly, "Alas, this is just the early stage; it will get more serious later." He paused, then added, "However, the heart problem seems to be stable for now."

Zhou Chenyu's tone was full of worry: "Isn't there any other way?"

"I'll take her pulse tomorrow and see how things go. Judging from the information alone, the situation doesn't look too optimistic."

As the two were talking, Zhou Chenyu's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID; it was Jiang Shaoqing.

"Feed".

"Chen Yu, I've arranged the welcome banquet for Elder Chen. Just pick him up and come over here."

"Okay, got it."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chenyu was about to speak when Old Chen waved his hand first.

"Stop with those fancy welcome parties. I didn't tell anyone I was coming. If my whereabouts are leaked, I'll make trouble for you."

Zhou Chenyu was somewhat speechless: "You heard everything?"

Old Chen glared at him: "What do you think? I'm not deaf. Sigh... I'm not going to go out and bother. Just make me some simple home-cooked food and bring it to my room, remember to put less chili!"

"This..." Zhou Chenyu thought to himself, this old man is still so willful.

"What's all this 'what'? Hurry up, stop being so wishy-washy. I've been traveling for several days in a row, and I'm really tired. I need to get some rest and a good night's sleep."

"Alright then, Mr. Chen, please rest for a bit. I'll arrange for dinner to be brought to you right away."

"Okay, you can go back first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Alright, Mr. Chen, please take a rest."

After leaving Old Chen's room, Zhou Chenyu called Jiang Shaoqing as he went downstairs, asking him to deliver dinner to Old Chen. He happened to have some questions he wanted to discuss with Old Chen privately, and assigning this task to Jiang Shaoqing suited him perfectly.

As Zhou Chenyu walked out of the Zijiang Hotel and headed towards his parking spot, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a man and a woman arguing on the roadside not far away. The girl was carrying a backpack, the style of which looked somewhat familiar to him.

Zhou Chenyu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Su Fengnan. Her face was deathly pale, cold sweat poured down her forehead, and her arm was being held tightly by a man.

"Yan Yun, let go." Su Fengnan's voice was weak and feeble.

"Don't push yourself, I'll take you to the hospital."

Yan Yun spoke urgently and tried to put his arm around Su Fengnan's shoulder, but Su Fengnan dodged him desperately. The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give in.

Su Fengnan knew it was dinnertime and there weren't many people on the street. She and Yan Yun hadn't attracted much attention yet, but if things continued like this, it would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble sooner or later.

As she was thinking about how to escape, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears.

"Su Fengnan, do you need any help?"

Su Fengnan and Yan Yun both looked toward the source of the sound. In a moment, Zhou Chenyu had already walked to Su Fengnan's side.

"Brother Zhou..."

The moment Su Fengnan saw Zhou Chenyu, it was as if she had seen a savior, and her tense nerves instantly relaxed.

Zhou Chenyu ignored Yan Yun and looked at Su Fengnan again, his voice steady and clear: "Do you need any help?"

As he asked the question, his gaze subtly swept over the hand that Yan Yun was using to hold Su Fengnan's arm.

Su Fengnan was overjoyed and, almost with all her might, uttered two words: "Needed."

As the man approached, Yan Yun instinctively pulled Su Fengnan into his arms with surprising force.

"Who are you? Mind your own business."

"Ah—" Su Fengnan cried out in pain as she was being pulled, her already pale face turning even more bloodless from the pain.

Without wasting words, Zhou Chenyu stepped forward and precisely grabbed Yan Yun's wrist, twisting it back with great skill.

"Hiss—" Yan Yun winced in pain, his fingers involuntarily loosening, and he staggered back two steps.

Su Fengnan finally escaped her predicament, taking several steps back before leaning against the roadside railing, panting heavily, cold sweat trickling down her temples.

Zhou Chenyu turned back to her, his voice steady: "Are you alright?"

Su Fengnan shook her head and forced a weak smile: "Thank you, Brother Zhou, I'm fine."

At this moment, ignoring the pain in his wrist, Yan Yun roared with red eyes, "Su Fengnan, who is he?!"

Su Fengnan could no longer hide the disgust in her eyes. She didn't even bother to look at Yan Yun, and said to Zhou Chenyu, "Brother Zhou, I don't know him. Take me away."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

Zhou Chenyu didn't give Yan Yun a single glance from beginning to end, completely ignoring his presence. He reached out and took Su Fengnan's arm, protecting her as she walked towards the parking space.
