Le Yao had no idea that the Qiao couple had their eyes on her right after her divorce. She had been having a pretty easy time these past few days, since she was divorced and no longer had to worry about being killed by the female lead.

Moreover, now I live in a big villa, with servants to wait on me at the door, luxury cars and bodyguards to escort me when I go out, friends to chat with and go shopping when I have free time, and photos of handsome men to admire when I'm bored...

She's a true winner in life.

However, the ex-husband didn't seem to realize the divorce was over. He would occasionally come over with the divorce agreement to make his presence known.

It was just a meal anyway, and Aunt Bai would help Sister Mei take care of Shuo Shuo, so she just went along with it.

Beichuan City, the Cui family.

Gu Meizhi's 66th birthday celebration was very rushed because Le Yao didn't come, and something happened on Han Guosheng's side.

"Dad, how could this happen?" Cui Li never expected that just taking that bitch's kidney would lead to one accident after another.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Cui Zhanyi roared. "I told you not to make any rash moves, why didn't you listen? You kidnapped me once, and now you're trying again. Even if you succeeded, that would be fine, but you've failed every time. Do you think our lives are too easy?"

Cui Li's tears streamed down her face: "Dad, I don't want this either, but I can't just watch Yichen die like that..."

"But you can't just kidnap people again and again, can you?"

Gu Meizhi opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't.

"Dad, scolding me won't help now, what should I do?"

“That bastard Han Guosheng said that as long as he goes in, he will definitely keep targeting the Cui family.” Cui Zhanyi sighed. “Lily, now, we can only let the Zhu family step in.”

“But Dad, you know Dekun and his cousin Zhu Dechang don’t get along. If Zhu Dechang finds out about this, our standing in the Zhu family will be…”

“If we don’t let Vice Minister Zhu show up, then Han Guosheng will go to jail. Han Guosheng will definitely drag the Cui family down with him. At that time, without the Cui family, do you think Zhu Dekun will still want you?” Gu Meizhi sighed. “Lili, at this time, we must be of one mind.”

"But……"

“Dekun has always been good to you. For the sake of your family, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have him ask his cousin for help. Besides, Zhu Dechang wants to take things further and doesn't want his family to cause any trouble…”

"Then I'll give it a try." Cui Li felt bitter inside. On the surface, she and Zhu Dekun seemed to be very loving, and Zhu Dekun treated her with respect and affection. In reality... only she knew that the man's heart was no longer with her. It was just a pity that he had protected that vixen too well, and she still had no clear target.

When Zhu Dekun received Cui Li's call, he had just stepped out of his workplace: "What's up?"

"Let's go home for dinner tonight."

"I have other things to do."

"You have to be back tonight." Cui Li's attitude hardened. "I have something important to discuss." She then hung up the phone.

Zhu Dekun frowned, then got into his car, took out a phone, turned it on, and dialed a number: "Baby, you guys eat first, don't wait for me, I have something to do today and can't make it. Okay, love you." He then hung up, deleted the call, turned off the phone, put it back in the glove compartment, and drove home.
