Following the guide, Lin Wanrou arrived at a conference room.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qin Yang sitting on the sofa.

He still had that aloof look, his sharp suit accentuating his tall and slender figure.

However, his eyes were colder than ever before, as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

The meeting room was brightly lit, almost blindingly so.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the city's bustling scene unfolds, with cars and people constantly moving about.

But all of this had nothing to do with Lin Wanrou.

Her world had long since turned gray.

"Qin Yang..."

Lin Wanrou called out softly, her voice trembling with tears.

Qin Yang raised his head, glanced at her indifferently, and said nothing.

That look was like looking at a stranger, no, even colder than a stranger's gaze.

Lin Wanrou could no longer hold back, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Qin Yang, please help me, okay?"

She choked up, her voice trembling violently.

"Chen Kai has transferred all the funds from my company's accounts... Can you help me get through this difficult time?"

She walked step by step to Qin Yang, her voice filled with pleading.

“I know you have the ability… You helped Shangguan Wancheng achieve the cooperation with Xingkong Group… Could you help me this time too?”

She was like a drowning person grasping at the last straw, refusing to let go.

Qin Yang's face was expressionless.

He looked at Lin Wanrou coldly, a mocking smile curving his lips.

"Shangguan Wan and I are husband and wife, so it's only natural for me to help her."

His voice was icy and chilling.

Why should I help you?

He paused, his tone becoming even colder.

"roll!"

A single word, like a sharp knife, pierced Lin Wanrou's heart.

She stared wide-eyed at Qin Yang in disbelief.

She couldn't believe that the man who had once loved her so deeply would say such a thing to her.

"Qin Yang..."

Lin Wanrou's body began to tremble.

She was unwilling to give up; she couldn't just give up like that.

"Qin Yang, divorce Shangguan Wan and let's remarry!"

She lunged forward and grabbed Qin Yang's arm.

Her voice was almost insane.

"I never slept with Chen Kai, I'm still innocent... Let's go back to the past, okay?"

She gripped Qin Yang's arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

Her eyes were filled with despair and madness.

Qin Yang frowned in disgust.

He suddenly flung his hand away, pushing Lin Wanrou aside.

Lin Wanrou stumbled and almost fell.

"Lin Wanrou, have you no shame?"

Qin Yang's voice was low and angry.

Do you think you're still the same Lin Wanrou you used to be?

Do you think I'll still be someone you can manipulate like before?

"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

Every word he uttered was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Lin Wanrou's heart.

Lin Wanrou's face turned deathly pale instantly.

Her body swayed precariously.

She knew that she had completely lost Qin Yang.

The man she once loved deeply will never come back.

She was wrong, she was really wrong.

She abandoned the person who truly loved her for a man who wasn't worth it.

Now, she is finally reaping the bitter fruit.

But it was all too late.

Qin Yang's face was as cold and piercing as the Siberian wind.

"Get out of here," he said, his voice sounding like it was being squeezed out between his teeth. "You've done something stupid, so you have to bear the consequences."

"Let's part amicably. If you cause trouble here again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Every word was like an ice dagger, piercing Lin Wanrou's heart.

Lin Wanrou's face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

She knew that Qin Yang was truly determined this time and had no feelings for her whatsoever.

It’s over!

She's completely finished!

The Lin Group is finished, and so is she!

All hope has been shattered.

Like a puppet whose soul has been ripped out, Lin Wanrou slumped on the ground, her eyes vacant and lifeless.

She stopped making a scene.

She knew that no matter how much she made a scene, Qin Yang wouldn't help her.

This man is no longer the Qin Yang who used to dote on her.

He changed; he became cold and ruthless, and he became someone she felt unfamiliar with and afraid of.

Lin Wanrou stood up listlessly, her steps unsteady as if she were walking on cotton, and she might fall at any moment.

She didn't know how she got out of Qin Yang's office.

I don't even know how I got back to the Lin Group.

I felt like the whole world was spinning, the sky was dark and chaotic.

The Lin Group building was once her pride and the stage where she dominated the world.

But now, this place feels like a giant cage, trapping her and making it hard for her to breathe.

She walked into her office in a daze, not even noticing that there were other people in the office.

Until a familiar call pulled her back from her daze.

"Wanrou, you're back?"

Lin Wanrou looked up and saw her father, Lin Yunming, and mother sitting on the sofa.

Her younger brother, Lin Hai, was also standing to the side.

All three of them looked at her with complicated expressions.

There was worry, anxiety, and blame.

Lin Yunming's face was covered with wrinkles, making him look exceptionally old.
