Su Yan's eyelashes trembled twice, and she turned her head to look at her.

"Then I thank you too, at least you didn't risk your life to stop him."

Upon hearing this, Meng Jie paused for a moment, then looked away.

"Yi'an truly loves you. I've never seen him like that before, so please treat him well and don't betray his deep affection for you. I only have one son. If anything happens to him, I will abandon everything and make you pay the price."

Su Yan suddenly grinned and tilted her head to ask, "President Meng, are you marrying off your son?"

After confirming that Yi An was alright, Meng Jie left the hospital.

Her car stopped in front of the Yi family villa, and a figure flickered in the second-floor window.

Meng Jie saw it, but still walked into the Yi family's house without looking to the side.

When Wu Fen saw her come in, she immediately went to greet her: "Madam."

Meng Jie waved her hand towards the outside, "You all go out. Don't come in unless I call you."

Wu Fen paused for a moment, looked at Meng Jie's serious face, and then called everyone in the family to go out.

As soon as Wu Fen and the others left, Yi Ruihua slowly walked down the stairs.

Meng Jie raised her head and looked him straight in the eye. This was the first time in the past five years that she had looked at him so seriously.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yi Ruihua didn't say anything, and followed Meng Jie into the restaurant and sat down in their usual spot.

Yi Ruihua looked at Meng Jie sitting in the center and suddenly smiled.

"You're always so domineering and authoritarian. Have you ever seen a family where the head of the household sits in my position?"

Meng Jie looked at him expressionlessly, "So, everything you did was just because I didn't let you sit in this center position?"

Yi Ruihua was stunned for a moment, then went berserk.

No one knows what Meng Jie's words did to provoke him, but he slammed his fist on the table and roared at Meng Jie, "Why won't you let me go!"

Meng Jie looked at him calmly from beginning to end, with the same gaze she would give a child who was throwing a tantrum because he didn't get his favorite toy.

"If I really don't let you go, do you know what that means for the entire Yi Group? Have you really thought this through?"

Yi Ruihua looked completely bewildered. He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized something, but this realization only lasted for two seconds before being replaced by ridicule.

"I forgot that you care about your reputation the most! How can someone as proud as you bear to see your husband conspire with his mistress to stage a car accident?"

"If this is the only way you can feel comfortable, then do whatever you want," Meng Jie said indifferently.

Now, in her eyes, Yi Ruihua is nothing more than an ant.

It was precisely this feeling that drove Yi Ruihua to the brink of madness.

"I truly regret marrying you! Why did I listen to my family and marry you! If I hadn't married you, I wouldn't be in this situation today! I would definitely be free and happy, and I wouldn't be suffering like this!"

"If living without money really makes you happy, then not marrying me must be the best choice."

Meng Jie always manages to deliver a fatal blow to Yi Ruihua with just one sentence.

Yi Ruihua's body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, shaking like a leaf.

"Think carefully. I won't sit idly by and wait to die. I'll drag you and the entire Yi Group down with me even if it means my own death!"

Meng Jie didn't even have a second thought about his threat.

"I'm giving you a choice: do you want to reunite with He Yunxin's family, or do you want to take this card and leave with nothing?"

She pulled out a card and threw it in front of Yi Ruihua.

Yi Ruihua stared tremblingly at the bank card in front of her, utterly incredulous.

"The Yi Group is so big, and you're only willing to give me this one card?"

"If you spend it frugally, it'll be enough for a lifetime."

Yi Ruihua was not satisfied with this answer at all, and he threw the bank card on the ground.

"Don't think you can get rid of me with this little bit of money. Don't think I don't know the value of the Yi Group. Didn't you say yourself that you let me go before only because you were worried about the Yi Group? Well, let me tell you now, I won't rest until I get half of the shares!"

Yi Ruihua paused for a moment, his eyes filled with determination as he looked at Meng Jie.

"At worst, we'll fight to the death!"

Meng Jie sighed and leaned back in her chair, as if she was tired from giving too much advice.

"What exactly gives you this confidence? Do you think you can defeat me? Or that the Yi family, which has already fallen and only has the Yi Group left, can defeat the Meng family? Hmm?"

Yi Ruihua's face was deathly pale, and he stood frozen in place, pursing his lips and remaining silent for a long time.

Meng Jie lost her last bit of patience. "If you don't like this bank card, then we'll have to take the first route."

Before she could finish speaking, Yi Ruihua suddenly grabbed the bank card from the ground.

"Meng Jie, marrying you was the most regrettable decision I've ever made in my life, without a doubt!"

He turned around and rushed to the Yi family's house.

Meng Jie remained seated in the same position, without even raising her eyes.

"And who isn't?"

He Ziming had just left the police station when he received a call informing him that his company had been seized, and his house had also been frozen by the bank.

In the time it takes to make one phone call, he went from being a high-ranking, arrogant company CEO to a penniless pauper.

He Ziming knew better than anyone why this was the reason.

He panicked completely and started calling Yi Ruihua countless times, but none of the calls were answered.

Like a headless fly, He Ziming searched everywhere Yi Ruihua might be. Finally, he found Yi Ruihua dancing with a young woman at the dance hall he frequented.

When He Ziming saw Yi Ruihua's disgusting face, his scalp tingled instantly.

Without thinking, he rushed forward, ripped the young woman apart, and charged towards Yi Ruihua.

"My mother is in such a state! How can you still have the mind to dance here! How can you face her! How can you face all the suffering she has endured over the years!"

Yi Ruihua was pinned to the ground by him, who grabbed her collar and questioned her.

He Ziming saw that Yi Ruihua showed no sign of resistance and remained expressionless throughout, as if he were looking at a stranger.

That look made He Ziming feel uneasy. He subconsciously let go of Yi Ruihua's hand, carefully helped him up, and straightened his wrinkled clothes.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I got too emotional just now. Can you please save Mom? Mom needs you, she really needs you!"

He Ziming lowered his stance and pleaded earnestly, but Yi Ruihua remained unchanged.

"What does this have to do with me?"

This emotionless rhetorical question left He Ziming speechless.

"What did you say?!"

Yi Ruihua stared at him coldly, her anger no less than his.
