Qian Eryong did not refute Liu Xinyi's words, but remained silent.

This enraged Liu Xinyi. Grabbing his collar, she demanded with red eyes, "She's your white moonlight, so what am I? I spent ten years with you in the countryside, and another ten years helping you become one of the wealthiest people in the south. Yet you use the money I helped you earn to pursue your white moonlight. What am I to you? Just a mosquito bite that you slapped on the wall?"

Qian Eryong looked at the woman in front of him as she went mad and asked with a sneer, "Can't I become a tycoon without you?"

As if a bucket of cold water had been suddenly poured over her head, Liu Xinyi immediately released Qian Eryong's collar, a look of panic flashing in her eyes, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Qian Eryong straightened his collar and sneered, "You know perfectly well what I mean."

"I do not understand--"

Qian Eryong grabbed his wrist: "You don't understand? Then tell me, I was a penniless country boy with a bad reputation, while you were a city girl sent to the countryside, and you were quite pretty. Why did you chase after me for so many years? Don't talk to me about saving my life. You know very well that I never intended to save you in that alley. You're not some naive little girl. Your eyes are full of desire. Would someone like you risk your whole life for a fabricated life-saving favor?"

Liu Xinyi panicked at his questioning and tried to dodge, but he held her wrist tightly and she couldn't break free. In her anger, she said, "Yes, I'm not a naive girl, but is it wrong for me to love you?"

Hearing her words, Qian Eryong couldn't help but laugh: "You say you love me? Do you love me as a person, or do you love my money?"

"When I was with you, you were penniless. What do you think I loved?" Liu Xinyi yelled back.

Qian Eryong released her wrist, laughing so hard his body trembled slightly: "Liu Zhiqing, you've probably forgotten what you did in that dilapidated temple on the back mountain ten years ago."

Liu Xinyi's forced composure vanished instantly, her eyes widening: "You, that day, you were outside the dilapidated temple the whole time?"

Qian Eryong nodded and then shook his head: "Not only in the dilapidated temple, but I was outside when you were digging up the woodshed of the Feng family's ancestral home. You weren't muttering, but my ears are very sharp."

Liu Xinyi's expression immediately turned ashen, and she slumped into the car seat: "You heard everything? You know everything?"

But then a light shone in his eyes, and he grabbed Qian Eryong: "Since you know that I come from the future and that I understand the development of the future, you should understand that if we are together, we will both benefit, and if we are apart, we will both suffer. You can't live without me, and I love you too. Can we live a good life together?"

Qian Eryong stared into her eyes and asked, "Is your so-called future development unchanging? Wake up, Liu Xinyi. I can still become a tycoon without you, but without me, can you even reach the upper echelons?"

At this point, he grew weary and brushed the woman's hand away, saying, "However, you have indeed helped me over the years, and I am not an ungrateful person. After our divorce, I will give you a share of the property so that you can live a life of comfort and security."

After saying that, he opened the car door to get out, but Liu Xinyi held him tightly. Her eyes were red as she asked, "You want a divorce?"

"Liu Xinyi, let's part ways amicably. You can take the money and live a carefree life," Qian Eryong sincerely advised.

"You've never believed I love you, have you? Well, I'll prove it to you!"

"What are you doing? Stop right now—"

Bang!

...

Not long after Feng Mingshu and Zhou Jinshan returned to the small villa, they heard that a black car had been involved in an accident at the street intersection ahead. Fortunately, the black car did not collide with any other vehicles, but instead crashed into a tree, and no pedestrians were injured.

But the people in the car were injured and rushed to the hospital.

Feng Mingshu vaguely guessed the identity of the person involved in the car accident. After discussing it with Zhou Jinshan, she arranged for her bodyguard, Xiaolin, to accompany her to the hospital to visit him, since Zhou Jinshan simply couldn't spare the time.

When she arrived at the hospital, she saw Qian Eryong with a cast on his leg and a woman with gauze wrapped around her face.

The woman kept shouting and smashing things at Qian Eryong, but the moment Feng Mingshu entered the room, she instantly fell silent, her eyes fixed on her.

Qian Eryong immediately warned, "Liu Xinyi, don't go crazy! Her husband is a military commander. If you hurt her, we're both finished!"

Hearing his warning, Liu Xinyi laughed: "Look at you, now that you're successful and rich, you still can't get what you want..."

Upon catching a glimpse of the bodyguard beside Feng Mingshu, Liu Xinyi finally swallowed back the harsh words she was about to say. Then, she struggled to prop herself up, her teeth bared, and thanked Feng Mingshu, "Thank you, Chief's wife, for visiting my husband and me. Thank you for clearing up a knot in my heart. Thank you."

Feng Mingshu had only come to visit out of kinship with his ancestors from the same village and did not want to get involved in Qian Eryong and his wife's affairs. So he put down the fruit basket, said a few words of wishing them a speedy recovery, and left.

Qian Eryong watched her figure disappear outside the door, his expression somewhat forlorn.

Perhaps, twenty years ago, when I heard that she had already gotten married in Xiaowangzhuang, I knew I would never have another chance.

She had spent over a decade navigating the business world and amassed a fortune that many envied, but to Miss Feng, it was nothing but a joke.

After all, her mother, Ms. Yu Jingqiu, is the richest woman in China, and her own wealth is incomparable to hers.

If, if he could do it all over again, he would definitely snatch her away before she got married!

"Hahaha--"

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out in the ward, interrupting Qian Eryong's thoughts. He looked at Liu Xinyi in the next bed with a gloomy expression.

Liu Xinyi wiped away the tears of laughter: "You say my eyes are full of desire, but aren't you the same? We're both the same, so neither of us should look down on the other!"

"But after going through this life-or-death experience and seeing you bow down like a lapdog in the face of power, I've come to a realization. It was a fool of me to be entangled with someone like you for so many years. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, we'll get a divorce!"

"But my share of the property must be mine, not a single penny less!"

After a slight pause, Qian Eryong's expression turned cold: "Don't worry, you'll get what's yours. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Liu Xinyi scoffed: "I'd rather seek out someone with power than you. Wouldn't that be far more useful?"

"what ever."

A month later, the two were discharged from the hospital and obtained their divorce certificates.

A new private company was established to compete with Qian Eryong's company.

By the way, Qian Eryong has changed his name to Qian Haoyong. He is surrounded by countless beautiful women and has a constant stream of scandals.

It seems like everything is back on track, yet it also seems like everything has changed beyond recognition.

Who knows? People are complex; they're never one-dimensional.
