As Jiang Zhiming spoke, his tone became tinged with schadenfreude, which made Ye Wenyu very unhappy.

She said sarcastically, "Jiang Zhiming, should you be glad? If you hadn't broken up with Lin Tingyue, you might be the general manager of the Lin Group right now."

Jiang Zhiming blushed, his face turning as red as a steamed crab. He knew Ye Wenyu was mocking him, so he fell silent. After the embarrassment subsided, he smiled and said somewhat sarcastically, "That's impossible. I don't own any of Teacher Cai's shares, so this general manager position belongs to Teacher Cai."

The general manager position belongs to Cai Wenchuan? Ye Wenyu raised her eyebrows. Cai Wenchuan is a bookworm and has no interest in business at all. Even if you put the general manager position on a tray and offered it to him, he probably wouldn't want it. Besides, would the Lin family, mother and daughter, really give him the general manager position?

While Ye Wenyu was thinking, Jiang Zhiming slowly said, "I know my own limitations. It seems that relying on one's own abilities is the most reassuring thing. Relying on others is unreliable; only oneself is truly dependable." After saying this, he looked at Ye Wenyu and gave her a bright smile.

Leaving the Lin Group, he felt completely relaxed and as free as a happy bird. Therefore, at this moment, he did not envy anything that Cai Wenchuan possessed.

At this moment, sunlight filters through the shadows of the trees, shimmering like shattered silver; the world is truly beautiful.

Ye Wenyu didn't want to listen to Jiang Zhiming's nagging, so she looked up and asked him expressionlessly, "Jiang Zhiming, is there something you need?"

Jiang Zhiming's face continued to flush red, and his heart suddenly pounded like a drum. He remembered his first crush, Xiaoyu, who was the girl who had been etched into his heart like a brand from the very beginning.

Over the years, although he and Lin Tingyue had broken up and gotten back together many times, there was only Ye Wenyu in his heart. She was his first love, and he had never forgotten her.

When he broke up with Lin Tingyue, he had nothing, not even a job. He was too embarrassed to come to Ye Wenyu. Now he has a good job in a foreign company with a good income, so he has the confidence to come to her. At this moment, standing in front of her, he can hardly suppress his longing for her.

This is why he came to see her today. It may seem like he was just passing by and doing nothing, but in reality, he had mustered up his courage over many days and made careful preparations to see her.

Feeling a pang of sadness, Jiang Zhiming forced a smile and said slowly to Ye Wenyu, "What? Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? We're classmates, after all, and we've known each other for a while." Time flies so fast; four years of university life are almost over. He found an internship at a foreign company, while she was actively preparing for her exams.

Ye Wenyu didn't want to continue talking to Jiang Zhiming; she had lost the desire to communicate and understand him.

So much has happened in the past few years that she has come to realize that she and Jiang Zhiming are from two different worlds, so she doesn’t want to talk to him anymore.

At first, when he confessed his feelings to her, she knew she didn't love him, and because they both came from poor backgrounds and didn't want to be a burden to each other, she rejected him. He, on the other hand, wisely chose Lin Tingyue because of his mother's illness.

Later, his mother recovered from her illness, and he and Lin Tingyue broke up for reasons she didn't know, and their engagement was canceled.

Now he stands before her, talking about the Lin family and everything about him. To Ye Wenyu, all of this seems as distant as a past life.

Besides, upon learning from Jiang Zhiming that Lin Tingfeng was missing, her heart couldn't help but pound with anxiety. She didn't care about Jiang Zhiming, but she did care about Lin Tingfeng.

A person's true feelings are what they know best and are most certain of.

She clearly remembered that Lin Tingfeng was in poor health and that things would get really bad later on. She was worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the devastating blow and that his body wouldn't be able to take it!

Having experienced many things, both in her past and present lives, she has gradually come to understand that things are far from as simple as they seem, and that if one is too easily misled by others, it often leads to irreparable mistakes.

In her previous life, she was misled by others, which led to tragedy.

In this life, she must be prudent, not be swayed by others, and follow her own heart.

Now, her heart is repeatedly and strongly telling her that she must find Lin Tingfeng. Because he is in great pain, the whole world is against him, he is in poor health, and he is all alone.

Therefore, Ye Wenyu composed herself and said coldly to Jiang Zhiming, "I have something to do, I'm leaving now, goodbye." Then, without waiting for Jiang Zhiming to speak, she quickened her pace and hurried towards the girls' dormitory.

Jiang Zhiming was stunned, feeling as if he had been punched in the nose, his heart aching. He stood there, staring blankly at Ye Wenyu's hurried figure as if he were a clay or wooden sculpture.

She rushed to the girls' dormitory, took out her phone, and mustered up the courage to call Lin Tingfeng, but found that no one answered. She also sent him a private message, but there was no reply.

Two hours passed, and the midday sun began to set. She dialed his number countless times, but no one answered. Ye Wenyu then stood up and decided to go to the Lin family's old house.

When Lin Tingfeng was the president of the Lin Group, she kept her distance from him, but now that he has fallen on hard times and no one cares about him, she can no longer remain indifferent.

Ye Wenyu hailed a taxi and headed to the Lin family's old residence. The car sped along like the wind, the trees on both sides rushing past at an incredible speed.

She thought to herself that if she couldn't contact Lin Tingfeng, the only way was to go to the Lin family's old house. Even if she couldn't find him, she could find his mother and find out about his current situation.

This is the only way to find out his current situation as quickly as possible.

Half an hour later, Ye Wenyu arrived at the Lin family's old residence. Standing outside the Lin family's gate, she inquired about Lin Tingfeng's whereabouts from the servants in the mansion.

At this moment, Lin Tingfeng had already woken up and was sitting on the floor of his room, staring blankly at the pool of blood he had vomited on the floor. His stomach pain seemed to have eased a bit. He didn't know whether his stomach pain was caused by the severe shock he had suffered or if there was something really wrong with his stomach.

How many days had passed since he was kicked out of the shareholders' meeting? He didn't know. When he woke up, he was still on the floor, which showed that his mother was now trapped in her terrible, near-collapse mental state, which was very dangerous.

Lin Tingfeng's face darkened. He knew he had to pull himself together and take his mother to the hospital, otherwise her old mental illness might relapse.

He fainted and lay on the floor for days and nights without anyone caring. When he woke up, he was still only concerned about his mother's health.
