Jiang Wanning continued, "You think that as long as you take me away, as long as I'm by your side, you'll be happy. You're wrong. I don't love you. Even if I'm by your side, I won't bring you happiness. Back then, you stole my lollipop, and I bit you. But for A Yuan, I willingly gave him everything I had, and even wanted to take him away. Our relationship and our ending were destined from the very beginning."

Meng Huaijin's breath hitched, her voice filled with disbelief: "Back then, before Fu Chenyuan returned to the Fu family, you already knew each other? You gave him everything you had? On what grounds?"

Why is Fu Chenyuan merely an heir of a top-tier wealthy family who has been separated from his family, while he is an illegitimate child who cannot be brought into the light?

"I've tried so hard, and I've finally seen you. How can I be satisfied?"

"Did you even look for me? Probably not. You just saw me and got a sudden urge, like seeing something new and interesting, and you wanted to try it out and possess it."

Meng Huaijin gritted her teeth: "I never knew Mrs. Fu had such eloquence."

Jiang Wanning smiled faintly: "You flatter me, goodbye~"

After Jiang Wanning finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Meng Huaijin stood at the dock, looking at the cruise ship.

He was unwilling to leave like this!

Meng Huaijin thought for a moment, then turned and left.

I had just gotten into the car when someone blocked it.

Several skilled martial artists surrounded Meng Huaijin.

"Mr. Meng, our gentleman would like to have a chat with you."

Meng Huaijin's expression turned cold and stern; he knew he couldn't escape this time.

Meng Huaijin was brought there.

The room was very dark, with only a little light coming through the window.

He wasn't afraid; he had experienced worlds darker than this.

The lights came on, and Fu Chenyuan turned around, smiling slightly: "Meng Huaijin, how have you been?"

Meng Huaijin unbuttoned one button of his shirt and sat down casually on the sofa.

He had barely sat down when Fu Chenyuan punched him: "I said you can sit now, can you?"

Meng Huaijin naturally wouldn't sit idly by and take the beating, so he immediately threw a punch.

Fu Chenyuan did not back down and retaliated.

He had wanted to beat up Meng Huaijin for a long time.

Both of them had lived in the lower rungs of society, and when they fought, they were incredibly fierce, every punch landing hard, a reckless style of fighting, not just for show.

Fu Chenyuan has been training like crazy for the past two months, and he even hired a professional Muay Thai instructor to teach him. He has gained the upper hand.

Even so, Fu Chenyuan was punched in the corner of his mouth. He dodged it, but not completely, and a bruise appeared on the corner of his lip.

The two began to fight in silence.

Finally, Meng Huaijin collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

He discovered that he was no match for Fu Chenyuan.

So, all those years of pampered life actually made him regress?

The two men lifted Meng Huaijin up.

Meng Huaijin smiled mockingly: "President Fu, are you planning to break the law?"

Fu Chenyuan said calmly, "It's just a fight. Even if I end up in jail, I'll have someone to bail me out. What about you? Who will bail you out? The Meng family probably can't wait for you to fall from power so they can pounce on you immediately, right? Don't worry, that day will come soon."

Meng Huaijin's face darkened.

For Meng Huaijin, the thing he fears most is not having money.

He had had enough of poverty and hunger.

Fu Chenyuan looked at Meng Huaijin's feet.

"Do you know what? I really, really wanted to put a few knives on the ground and make you walk over them. Do you know how long Wanwan's injury took to heal? A full two months! You didn't even give her shoes, you beast!"

Fu Chenyuan finally uttered the curse, using the word "beast" for the first time.

After he finished cursing, he seemed to realize he had lost his temper, and his expression returned to calm: "Throw him out."

Meng Huaijin was thrown out.

Meng Huaijin glanced back, her eyes burning with hatred that seemed to scorch Fu Chenyuan.

Fu Chenyuan knew that just like when Meng Huaijin kidnapped Jiang Wanning, the matter was left unresolved. Today, if he beat Meng Huaijin up and threw him out, the matter would also be left unresolved.

The news that Meng Huaijin was already in China spread instantly.

Meng Huaijin's overseas market has gone bankrupt due to the suppression by Fu Chenyuan and other forces.

Domestically, the Meng family was already plagued by internal discord, serious infighting, and numerous conflicts.

When Meng Huaijin rose to power as an illegitimate child, there were already many people who were dissatisfied with him.

Now that Meng Huaijin has lost power, the other members of the Meng family have joined forces to deal with him and drag him down with them.

Now, the Meng Group no longer belongs to Meng Huaijin.

Without Meng Huaijin, the Meng Group is a disorganized mess and can no longer cause any trouble.

The Meng Group quickly fell apart; with just a little more pressure, it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

In January, red lanterns were already hung on the streets.

The weather in City A is similar to that in the southern part of the city.

The streets are already filled with the festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year.

As Meng Huaijin walked down the street, his mixed-race appearance attracted a lot of attention, drawing the gaze of many.

Meng Huaijin shouted angrily, "Get out! What are you looking at!"

Those people were also somewhat unhappy.

You're crazy. I only look at him because he's good-looking. I glanced at him a couple more times, but I didn't take a picture. What's there to be angry about?

Meng Huaijin wandered aimlessly, and as he walked, he found himself in an old district of City A.

They've been talking about demolishing this place for years, but it hasn't happened yet.

But this area has been changed. The dilapidated houses have been renovated by a specialist, the walls have been painted, and construction facilities have been built in the wide areas of the street. There are small groups of children and elderly people strolling around there.
