At this moment, Cui Baoxiang had changed back into an expensive trench coat, a dark turtleneck sweater, black suit pants, and shiny leather shoes, looking every bit the wealthy young master.

He fawned over Qin Zheng and Ye Yun, greeting them with a smile, "Brother Zheng, Sister-in-law, where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"

He didn't seem sad for Ye Xue at all.

Even just a few days ago, he was still embracing Ye Xue, whispering sweet nothings and whispering intimately in her ear.

Ye Yun coldly looked at the cold smile on Cui Baoxiang's face and felt it was ironic. She sneered, "Young Master Cui, please don't call us that. We're not close."

"Hmph."

Unexpectedly, Cui Baoxiang didn't mind at all and still smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Relationships can be built up gradually. My dad said that I would like to invite you two to come to my house for a visit when you have time."

Ye Yun understood now.

Given Cui Baoxiang's simple mind, he probably wouldn't be able to swallow his anger and try to make amends after being humiliated. It seems he has his father's guidance behind the scenes.

"Cui Baoxiang".

"Um?"

Cui Baoxiang didn't know why Ye Yun suddenly called his name, but he still responded.

Ye Yun looked at him calmly, her voice clear: "Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"What?"

Cui Baoxiang looked astonished.

“You lied to Ye Xue,” Ye Yun said. “Whether she’s a good person or not is another matter, but what you did to her, what you took advantage of her body, will you feel guilty when you wake up in the middle of the night?”

Cui Baoxiang was stunned.

"You'd better watch yourself, Young Master Cui."

Ye Yun gave him a cold look, disdainful of speaking to him again, and left with Qin Zheng, walking towards the car by the roadside.

Cui Baoxiang stood there, speechless.

Recalling Ye Yun's words, he scratched the back of his head, as if he felt somewhat sorry for Ye Xue.

But what does it matter?

He toyed with Ye Xue's feelings and was after her body. Wasn't Ye Xue after his money and his powerful and influential status?

However, he was a cut above the rest.

Ye Xue was clearly not greedy enough.

Besides, if Ye Xue doesn't do anything reckless, he will give her a sum of money as usual. He has always been generous. If Ye Xue gets married, that sum of money will be a considerable dowry. If she doesn't get married, she can live a leisurely life. Isn't he good enough?

Looking at all the women he's been with, which one wasn't perfectly managed by him?

Of course, there are one or two ambitious women who want to be his wife. Usually, he just hands these things over to his mother, using both threats and inducements, and usually manages to achieve a win-win situation.

He knows what he's doing.

Of course, he couldn't let the women who had been with him go to waste. If he were unethical, he would have been shot long ago, and even his father couldn't save him.

But Ye Xue was determined to get herself into trouble, insisting on ending up in prison and dragging him down with her.

Then don't blame him for being unrighteous.

"Tch... I did nothing wrong, I won't feel guilty, let whoever wants to feel guilty feel guilty." Cui Baoxiang spat and turned to get into the car parked by the roadside.

The driver asked, "Where to?"

"Go find my mom."

"..."

With a roar, the car accelerated and sped away, kicking up debris from the roadside and leaving behind a trail of extremely pungent black exhaust fumes.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Xiaoyun, who was waiting in front of Qin Zheng's car, coughed twice from the stench, covered her mouth and nose, and waved her hand in disgust when she smelled the gasoline.

The man beside her pursed his lips.

Under the bright sunlight, the man stood upright with his back to the camera, wearing a black overcoat and black-rimmed glasses. His wispy bangs almost completely obscured his eyes, and the heavy sense of oppression made it difficult for others to see his face.

But when he heard the girl coughing beside him, he gently pulled her into his arms.

He covered Liu Xiaoyun's mouth and nose with the collar of his coat, waved his hand, and calmly and considerately drove away the unpleasant car exhaust fumes for her.

Liu Xiaoyun seemed to have gotten used to his kindness.

"Ye Yun".

Upon seeing Ye Yun, Liu Xiaoyun's expression turned serious.

Because Ye Xue had previously asked her to help deal with Ye Yun, she was considered a witness and was summoned to the court's presence today.

She would come even if the court didn't notify her.

She felt guilty towards Ye Yun, and doing something for Ye Yun would lessen her guilt.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to greet her, it would be impolite for Ye Yun to ignore them. She glanced indifferently at the man beside her, not caring much, and casually replied, "Is there something you need?"

Liu Xiaoyun understood from her attitude.

Indeed, how could she expect Ye Yun, a victim, to treat her kindly?

"without."

Liu Xiaoyun simply smiled and said, "Congratulations, now that Ye Xue is in prison, you won't have to live in fear anymore."

"..."

Ye Yun had no intention of talking to her any longer. She opened the car door and left with only the words, "If there's nothing else, goodbye."

Liu Xiaoyun immediately moved back to the side of the road.

If she didn't dodge, Ye Yun's opened car door would probably hit her.

She didn't know if Ye Yun did it on purpose, but this action made her clearly feel Ye Yun's rejection and resistance towards her.

"Honey, Miss Liu might have something she'd like to discuss with you."

Qin Zheng suddenly said.

As he said this, his gaze subtly drifted to the man beside Liu Xiaoyun.

Ye Yun had already gotten into the car. Upon hearing this, she looked up and through the open car door at Liu Xiaoyun, who was still standing by the roadside.

A hint of expectation lingered in Liu Xiaoyun's eyes.

But she could tell that Ye Yun didn't want to talk about other private matters today, so she pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, let's meet another day."

"There's nothing to talk about."

Ye Yun also spoke directly.
