Only by experiencing the pain of loss can one truly learn to cherish.

While it was certainly due to his aunt's interference, Xu Yanshu should never have so hastily proposed breaking up, especially with the excuse of rekindling their old flame.

I……

Xu Yanshu hesitated, his gaze gradually darkening, while he unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.

It was true that he was a bastard and had let Shengyi down. He had handled this matter too hastily, but there was no other way. If he had delayed for even one more day, he might not have been able to let go of Shengyi.

"I've already met him. He's good-looking and capable, so he's a good marriage prospect."

Hearing this, Xu Yanshu felt a mix of emotions, but he still said something insincerely, "Your judgment has always been good."

"Since you've said that, then the other person is most likely a really good person."

Jiang Zhengyu turned to look at Xu Yanshu and asked tentatively, "So you will wish Shengyi well, right?"

"Ah...that's natural!"

No matter what, he hoped that Shengyi could be happy, even if the person by her side wasn't him.

Struggling to suppress his complex emotions, Xu Yanshu turned to look out the window, a hint of loneliness unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

Some things cannot be achieved simply through hard work.

When Qin Yao declared with such unequivocal authority that she and Sheng Yi could never be together, he suddenly understood this principle.

Jealousy and envy were written all over his face, yet he still said he could offer his blessings?

Jiang Zhengyu shook his head with a smirk. He was increasingly pleased with his brilliant idea, but he never expected that some people would be so ruthless as to even deceive themselves.

"Uncle He said that Xie Huanyu has been visiting your studio frequently lately, so is there a possibility that you two might actually rekindle your old flame?"

"Absolutely impossible!" Xu Yanshu immediately denied, his slightly furrowed brows revealing a hint of impatience. "You should know the most about this matter, shouldn't you?"

"I was out of my mind at the time, which is why I asked Xie Huanyu for help. Now I've made things clear with her, and she probably won't come looking for me again!"

The more he thought about it, the more foolish he felt. Even if it really had to be done this way, she shouldn't have asked Xie Huanyu for help.

"People say that even a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness. You and Xie Huanyu have been married for so many years, and now he..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Xu Yanshu raised her eyes and glared at him coldly, "Jiang Zhengyu, are you done yet? You know the inside story."

"Even if I am destined to live a lonely life, I will never have anything to do with Xie Huanyu again."

He could easily guess that the kid kept bringing this up to annoy him, but he really wasn't in the mood for a joke right now.

Jiang Zhengyu nodded as if he understood, and secretly paused the recording function on his phone. At that moment, the car came to a steady stop in front of Xu Yanshu's apartment.

"Mr. Xu, you've arrived!"

Xu Yanshu unfastened his seatbelt and got out. Before leaving, a sudden thought of revenge arose within him, and he slammed the car door shut, causing the driver to gasp in pain.

...

Jiang Zhengyu turned around and placed the recording in front of Qin Shengyi. His intention was to dispel any resentment in Shengyi's heart, but he did not expect to be met with a glare.

"What kind of twisted sense of humor is this? Why do you have to provoke Brother Yan Shu with something like this?" Qin Shengyi complained, giving the person in front of her a resentful look.

She disagreed with testing Yan Shu in this way from the beginning, but he insisted on doing it his own way and is now going so far as to add fuel to the fire.

Jiang Zhengyu was speechless. He had gone to great lengths to help her resolve her inner conflict, but in the end, he only received a complaint.

He reached out and tapped Qin Shengyi on the head, complaining indignantly, "You ungrateful little devil, who am I doing this for?"

"Even if it's for my own good, you still..."

Thump thump thump—

There was a knock on the door. Jiang Zhengyu and Qin Shengyi exchanged a knowing glance, and the next second Qin Yao pushed the door open and walked in.

Qin Yao first glanced at Jiang Zhengyu, then her gaze fell on Qin Shengyi, "What are you two siblings talking about?"

Sensing the warning in the other person's eyes, Jiang Zhengyu immediately understood and was about to say something when Qin Shengyi spoke first.

"Yes, Zhengyu is telling me about some things at his law firm."

As she spoke, Qin Shengyi unconsciously avoided her mother's gaze, afraid that she might inadvertently reveal her inner dissatisfaction.

She had to admit that her mother had always spoiled her, but she really couldn't agree with her mother's actions regarding Xu Yanshu.

Qin Yao handed a stack of documents to her daughter, saying, "Take a look at these people's information first, and see if there are any you like. I'll arrange for you to meet them later."

"Mom," Qin Shengyi frowned slightly, her tone inevitably tinged with resentment, "I just broke up with my boyfriend, do you have to be in such a hurry to arrange blind dates for me?"

"As for that! How much time have you two actually spent together?"

"What's the big deal about breaking up? I'm just showing you these documents." This attitude infuriated Qin Yao, who angrily reprimanded him.

Seeing that her daughter was already deeply involved, even though they had broken up, she would probably continue to be entangled with Xu Yanshu if no one diverted her attention in time.

"But I..."
