Chen Manhua smiled slightly and moved a little further inside. Qi Yue gritted her teeth and got into the car.

The car slowly drove towards the city center.

Qi Yue glanced at it; it was the route that would take her home.

After getting in the car, Chen Manhua didn't rush to pressure Qi Yue. Instead, she kept her head down and played on her phone until half an hour before they were supposed to go home. Finally, Qi Yue couldn't sit still any longer.

"Mr. Chen, don't you have anything you'd like to ask me?"

Chen Manhua then slowly put away her phone and looked at her calmly: "That depends on what you want."

Qi Yue's palms were sweaty with nervousness, and the blood on her forehead had already congealed, but she seemed completely unaware of it. When she looked at Chen Manhua, she said, "I just want to avoid being retaliated against by Nan Xing."

Qi Yue has been by Nan Xing's side for too long. In both work and life, Qi Yue has been with her all these years. They even went to the same university. Although they can't be said to know each other inside and out, Nan Xing knows Qi Yue's weaknesses all too well.

Qi Yue couldn't help but be afraid. Moreover, it was only after Nan Xing became famous that her family's life improved day by day, which was why Qi Yue had tolerated Nan Xing for so many years.

Qi Yue doesn't ask for anything else, she only wants to get away from Nanxing, and in the future she can leave the entertainment industry and find another job. As long as her family is safe and sound, that's enough.

She was tired after ten years.

Chen Manhua looked at Qi Yue seriously for a long time before saying, "I promise you."

Tears welled up in Qi Yue's eyes instantly, but she quickly lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."

Chen Manhua handed her a tissue.

The car slowly came to a stop downstairs in Qi Yue's residential complex.

The driver got out of the car.

Only Chen Manhua and Qi Yue remained in the car. Chen Manhua then said, "I'm not quite clear about your relationship with Nanxing, and of course, I'm not interested in knowing. My relationship with you is just a simple transaction. I want Nanxing's movements over the past few years, and everything else I want to know."

"Of course, I understand that you care about your family, so after you get off this car today, you can move to another city with your family tomorrow morning. You can choose the city freely. I will take care of the car, the house, and your children's schooling. If you want to continue in the entertainment industry in the future, no one will make things difficult for you. If you don't want to, you can go your own way."

“From now on, whether Nanxing is a big star or not, I can guarantee that she won’t be able to find you.”

After saying that, Chen Manhua took out a black card and handed it to Qi Yue.

"This is my promise to you on behalf of the Luo and Chen families."

Qi Yue knew what the black card in her hand represented, and was quite taken aback.

Chen Manhua: "We business people don't like that kind of empty talk, nor do we like to force people. If you're willing, take the card, get off the bus, and someone will naturally come to tell you what to do next."

Qi Yue glanced at Chen Manhua for a few seconds, gripped the card in her hand, and prepared to get off the bus.

Chen Manhua suddenly said, "Your family can leave, but I need you right now, so you have to stay with Nanxing."

"After it's done, the money I'll give you will be double what you have in your card now."

Qi Yue: "After it's all over, will Nanxing receive the punishment he deserves?"

Chen Manhua chuckled and said, "That depends on how determined you are."

Qi Yue got out of the car, and the driver gave her a bag of medicine: "It was ordered by President Chen."

After saying that, the driver got into the car, and Qi Yue watched as the van quickly disappeared from the entrance of her residential compound.

Qi Yue looked at the black SIM card on her phone and the bag of medicine she had just bought from the pharmacy, including cotton swabs and iodine. Suddenly, she squatted down by the roadside and burst into tears.

All the grievances and sorrows of the past few years seem to be released at this moment.

She didn't dare go home to cry; her grandparents, parents, brother and sister-in-law, and nieces and nephews were all there...

Moreover, she dared not fall in love or get married, because if there was another person by her side, Nanxing would have an even greater control over her.

Qi Yue was very, very sad... but thankfully, it seemed that she could finally see the light again.

Chen Manhua also returned to the Luo family.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw a person wearing a bathrobe sitting in the pavilion, working on a laptop.

Chen Manhua walked over: "Qingyuan, it's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

Luo Qingyuan smiled and asked, "Shall we chat?"

Chen Manhua sat down next to her: "How's your foot? Is it feeling better?"

Luo Qingyuan: "Much better."

“Sister-in-law, I know you want to protect me, so you and my brother have handled almost everything concerning me. But I think it’s time for me to step forward. Whatever the truth of what happened back then, I should know it now.”

Chen Manhua was not surprised at all; how bad could Luo Shuyang's sister be?

Putting myself in her shoes, if it had been her back then, I doubt she could have done any better than Luo Qingyuan.

Chen Manhua just didn't understand...

"Alright, I respect your wishes, but Qingyuan, was Grandma really the only reason you left back then?"

Luo Qingyuan gave a bitter smile, looked at the endless darkness on the horizon, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you believe it or not, if I hadn't left back then, Duan Ye and I would be in a much more difficult situation now?"

"Being separated by vast distances is better than being torn apart."

At that time, her grandmother had passed away, and she was pregnant with twins, so she was under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally.

Even though she didn't blame Duan Ye, as they spent more time together, seeing Duan Ye's face, feeling the child growing up day by day, and seeing Nanxing occasionally wandering around, and with everyone around her advising her not to dwell on Ye Nuan's death.

The longer she lived in that kind of environment, the less likely it was for her and Duan Ye to be together. In the long run, she would develop resentment.

Duan Ye couldn't tolerate her for long either, and the result of their repeated forbearance was the final explosion.

Even if she stayed, she couldn't guarantee that the child would be born safely. At that time, she couldn't afford to investigate everything. There was no better way than to leave.

Divorce is not because of a lack of love, but because of too much love.

Therefore, she couldn't accept the ending where they ended up hating each other even when they were face to face.

Moreover, if she hadn't left and hadn't given birth to the child, how could she have had the energy to have Liu Yan keep an eye on Nanxing in China?

Only when she has no worries will she have a chance to break the deadlock.

Chen Manhua sighed and said, "Love can make you weak, but it can also make you brave."

"Aren't you afraid that while you're gone for five years, Duan Ye will be with someone else?"

Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid. If that's really the case, it's my fate, and I accept it."

Chen Manhua shook her head helplessly.

But in the end, he didn't dwell on the past anymore.

It's best not to look back on things that have already happened.
