The next day, the sun shone brightly as usual, warming him, but Chu Yi was not happy at all.

She arrived at the company with a serious expression.

The company's subordinates immediately tensed up, only relaxing once they entered the office.

"President Chu is so serious today, he looks like he's about to devour someone."

"Anyone would be upset if their relationship with their boyfriend was exposed."

"I've seen those leaks. President Chu's boyfriend isn't handsome at all. On the contrary, he has dark skin and looks honest. How could President Chu like a guy like that? They're such a mismatch."

"You don't understand, that's what contrast is all about."

"Is it the kind of contrast I guessed? That's quite a contrast."

"Stop gossiping, President Chu knows, he's laid them all off."

“... ..."

Chu Yi sat in his office, trying to calm himself down, and then called in General Manager Han.

"Mr. Chu, what urgent matter do you want to see me about?"

Chu Yi asked, "What's happening with the company that violated my privacy?"

"It's still in the court's queue for trial."

"I'm going to sue that company until it goes bankrupt," Chu Yi said through gritted teeth.

If it weren't for the gossip reporters' exposure, her affair with Fei Jie wouldn't have come to light so quickly, nor would it have met with opposition from her family.

Chu Yi originally planned to spend more time cultivating Fei Jie, making him outstanding enough to appear before his family.

And now, it's all ruined.

She needed to vent her emotions.

"Uh... I understand." President Han nodded after less than a second of hesitation.

He initially thought that spending a lot of resources to sue that gossip company was not worthwhile, but then he remembered that the company belonged to Chu Yi.

If the boss doesn't care, why should a professional manager like him worry about so much?

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is.

Chu Yi couldn't stand sitting in the office any longer, so she left the company, drove recklessly, her long hair flowing, and sent a message to her only friend, Zhou Qiong, asking them to meet up.

Before long, we arrived at the commercial center.

Although Chu Yi was wearing a mask and hat, Zhou Qiong still recognized her best friend at a glance: "Yi Yi, you've finally agreed to see me."

Knowing that Chu Yi was in a relationship, Zhou Qiong sent him many messages, but they never met.

The two arrived at the milk tea shop and ordered two cups of milk tea.

Chu Yi sighed: "I don't have time. I took Fei Jie to meet my parents and then to meet my brother."

"So what do you think?" Zhou Qiong asked.

Chu Yi looked dejected: "Look at me like this, do you think I'll end up well?"

“My parents disagree, and even Chu Lao Er disagrees. They’ve all changed. They’ve become profit-driven and judge a person’s worth based on their personal wealth.”

"They've become so unfamiliar; I understand them less and less."

Zhou Qiong frowned slightly: "That's unlikely. It's understandable that your parents object, but your brother would never do that."

"Hey, Qiongqiong, you're being unfair." Chu Yi sipped her milk tea.

Zhou Qiong realized she had misspoke and smiled, "That's not what I meant. My brother has never been one to be materialistic or prejudiced against the poor."

"What did my brother say?"

Chu Yi shook his head: "Chu Lao Er didn't say anything, he just said he didn't know."

Zhou Qiong couldn't fathom the meaning behind Chu Fang's words, so she could only comfort her close friend, hoping to ease her sister's pain.

"Sigh! Now I finally understand how Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai felt." Chu Yi slumped over the table, his face full of disappointment.

"Never mind, you continue working, I'm going home to rest."

Chu Yi grabbed the car keys and drove away.

Zhou Qiong stood there, watching the car disappear from sight.

She sighed, unsure how to help her sister.

She then prepared to return to the company to continue working.

Several colleagues came over and said:

"Who was Zhou Qiong chatting with just now?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that car should be the latest Pagani model, worth at least tens of millions."

"My God!"

“... ..."

Zhou Qiong smiled slightly: "She is my best friend."

"You have such rich friends, why don't you think about taking advantage of them, and instead come to work for our company?"

"Are you a rich person who just comes to the company to kill time?"

"I never imagined Zhou Qiong was from a wealthy family. Help me make money."

Zhou Qiong explained, "I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any money. Don't you know what I eat, wear, and live in every day? How can you tell that I'm rich?"

"That makes sense."

"Sigh, what a pity, I thought I'd hooked up with a rich guy."

“... ..."

Chu Yi drove back to Zhonghai Mingyuan. Once home, she threw herself onto the sofa and covered her ears with the sofa pillows.

I don't want to communicate or talk to the outside world.

"So annoying!"

She gradually fell asleep, and when she woke up, the sun was already setting.

The setting sun streamed into the room through the window.

Chu Yi gazed westward, a sense of loneliness welling up within him.

"If you don't agree, I'll jump off the building." Suddenly, Chu Yi had an idea, but soon shook his head and dismissed it, "No, that would be stupid."

Chu Yi got up and was preparing to make dinner when he suddenly received a message from Chu Fang.

[Solo player seeking romance: Come to my place.]

Chu Yi drove to Chu Fang's house again, where she saw her parents, her brother and sister-in-law, and the whole Chu family gathered together.

"Hey, what are you all doing here? Trying to persuade me?" Chu Yi swung his car keys, looking nonchalant and far from being a star. "No matter how you try to persuade me, it's no use. I'm sticking with Fei Jie."

Qian Liyan and Chu Hong looked at each other, and the former said, "We can agree to let you be with Fei Jie."

"What?!" Chu Yi's expression changed.

"But you have to grant me one request."

"Tch~~~ I knew there would be a twist, I won't allow it!"

So you're saying you don't accept it?

"I do not accept it."

Chu Fang said, "Listen to me first, and I think you'll accept it."
