The regrets about his past relationships have always been a source of guilt for Chu Yunxing. He understands that he didn't give Song Mai a meaningful and fulfilling romantic experience.

The couple married hastily, inevitably missing many ceremonies.

Chu Yunxing understood that no girl would refuse a romantic proposal or confession, so he carefully kept it in mind and began to plan.

Song Mai didn't know what his silence meant, so she naturally didn't bring it up again.

She gazed quietly at the fleeting scenery outside the window, then burst into laughter.

Chu Yunxing's attention was drawn by the laughter, and he subconsciously turned his head.

"What's wrong?"

Song Mai shook her head and said, "When I returned to China and saw you, I never imagined that we could sit in the same car so calmly as we are now."

Chu Yunxing looked at her strangely: "Do I look scary?"

“It’s not that you’re scary, but you have a kind of aloofness that makes it hard for others to get close to you.” Song Mai recalled the scene when she met him after returning to China, and a smile slowly appeared on her lips.

She no longer cares about what happened in the past. She learned from Chu Yunxing that the deception back then is insignificant now.

Whether or not she can regain her past memories will not affect her much; it's just that her obsession makes her curious about her past experiences.

Song Mai lowered her eyes and began to ponder the path ahead.

Just as they were about to arrive at the studio, Song Mai suddenly saw a group of media carrying cameras outside the studio door.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yunxing immediately stepped on the gas and drove away.

Looking through the rearview mirror at the increasingly distant studio gate, Song Mai felt a bad premonition rising in her heart.

She anxiously called Xie Wenwen to ask why, and Xie Wenwen became even more anxious the moment she answered the phone.

“Mai Zi, something terrible has happened! A woman claiming to be your sister-in-law says you were disrespectful to your parents. Don’t go back to the studio for now; wait until the media reports about it before returning.”

Xie Wenwen's tone was anxious, and her words carried a hint of fear.

Even after hanging up the phone, Song Mai remained uneasy.

She frowned, the scene she had just witnessed replaying in her mind.

She couldn't coldly leave her friends, who had shared joys and sorrows with her, in danger.

"Stop the car, I need to go back now."

Chu Yunxing understood her stubbornness and did not try to persuade her as he had done before. Instead, he quickly turned around and went back to the studio.

Bai Wan'er is here!

Keen-eyed people saw her get out of the car, and all the media swarmed around her, blocking her way.

Song Mai was forced to stand in front of the car, her eyes coldly scanning her surroundings.

These media reporters were all unfamiliar faces; I had absolutely no recollection of them.

Xie Wenwen, who was in the studio at the time, saw this and wondered, "Why did they suddenly change their targets?"

Standing on tiptoe, Xie Wenwen caught a glimpse of Song Mai flashing through the crowd and exclaimed in shock, "Didn't I tell her not to come back?"

She rushed out without hesitation, intending to bring Song Mai to the studio.

There were just too many media reporters present, making it impossible to squeeze in.

A crazy woman came up to Song Mai, grabbed her wrist without saying a word, and prepared to leave.

Song Mai looked at the woman in front of her and had absolutely no recollection of her.

She frowned in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

"Stop pretending! I don't believe you don't recognize me!" The woman sneered, and seeing that she couldn't take Song Mai away, she actually sat down on the ground.

He exclaimed, “Come and see! This ungrateful wretch is disregarding his parents and brother, and now he’s pretending not to know them!”

Throwing a tantrum had no effect on Song Mai. She had wanted to sit down and talk things out calmly with this woman, but she never expected him to behave like this.

Song Mai stared coldly at the woman, unmoved.

Chu Yunxing strode over to her side and carefully stood half a step in front of Song Mai, blocking the eager media.

The moment the woman saw Chu Yunxing, she couldn't help but sneer: "I didn't expect the two of you to still be together."

A hint of displeasure flashed across Song Mai's face. This was originally her own business and had nothing to do with Chu Yunxing.

No matter how big the conflict is between her and this woman, she shouldn't point the finger at Chu Yunxing.

Her expression was serious, and she slightly parted her red lips: "I don't know you. May I ask who you are?"

"You don't know who I am?" The woman laughed out loud as if she had heard a hilarious joke.

She arrogantly said, "You can't possibly not know who I am. At a time like this, you still have to pretend. Aren't you tired of living like this?"

Chu Yunxing whispered in her ear, "This person is your sister-in-law, the only normal person in your family."

"So it was her."

At first, Song Mai thought Chu Yunxing's account was exaggerated, but now it seems that's not the case.

The women in front of me had a roguish air about them, and their attire, however gaudy, was tacky.

She wore all her valuable jewelry, which made her look ridiculous.

Worried that Song Mai might be upset, Chu Yunxing considerately said, "Why don't you go back? I'll be fine here."

Song Mai shook her head: "If I need you to handle every single thing for me, wouldn't that be too cowardly?"

Chu Yunxing didn't say much, and could only stay quietly by her side.

The sister-in-law realized that nothing she did could get Song Mai's attention; instead, she was just rolling around and making a scene like a clown. She became angry.

If it weren't for her wanting some money for retirement, she wouldn't have lost face like this.

She took a deep breath, stood up with a hint of anger and embarrassment, and pointed at Song Mai's nose, questioning, "In the years you've been missing, Mom and Dad died because they were too worried about you, and your brother was forced into prison because he couldn't repay the money. All of this was caused by you, but now you're acting like nothing happened. Haven't you ever thought about apologizing?"

"What do I need to apologize for? Is the money that this so-called brother can't repay something I owe?"

The sister-in-law was speechless. Ever since she married into the Song family, her husband had been burdened with debt.

Song Mai always paid off these debts, to the point that it became a matter of course in her mind.

"No matter what, he's still your brother. Do you really want to just stand by and watch him be trapped in prison forever?" Her sister-in-law gripped her hand tightly again, worried that she might run away.

The force was so great that Song Mai was unable to break free.

She frowned wearily and looked at Chu Yunxing beside her.

She doesn't need Chu Yunxing to solve everything, but at least he can handle these small matters.

Chu Yunxing immediately understood what she was thinking. He coldly gripped his sister-in-law's hand and said in a low voice, "Watch your movements, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The sister-in-law looked at Chu Yunxing with fear.
