Lu Zhengye said indifferently, "No need to waste any more words with her, let's go."

Seeing that Lu Zhengye was about to leave, Jiang Yanqi couldn't help but shout, "Aye, do you really not care about our past relationship at all? I did have a relationship with you, after all."

Wei Qing was speechless; he had never seen such a shameless woman.

"Come on, you want it all, how shameless! You and the boss were only in name back then, he was already more than kind to you. It was you who abandoned the boss because you were greedy and vain."

Although Wei Qing was telling the truth, Lu Zhengye felt extremely uncomfortable listening to him.

What do you mean she abandoned him? Does she even deserve him?

Wei Qing realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to salvage the situation, "If you were even slightly naive, you would know that the boss likes someone like Miss Lin. As for you, it's just that he's not yet romantically aware and doesn't want to offend Teacher Zhang."

"Let the eldest brother meet Miss Lin first and see. He will never agree to your confession."

Wei Qing's words sounded comforting, but Lu Zhengye and Jiang Yanqi found them very unpleasant.

Lu Zhengye felt awkward, while Jiang Yanqi felt resentful and unwilling.

"So it's okay for him to toy with my feelings like that?"

Lu Zhengye laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You know perfectly well what you got from me, so don't act like you've been taken advantage of."

“That’s right, without the boss, you’d never leave the Island of the Dead for the rest of your life,” Wei Qing mocked.

Jiang Yanqi only realized today that one of her choices back then had actually left her with a handle that would be criticized for the rest of her life.

"Let's go," Lu Zhengye said, then turned and left.

Wei Qing and Mu Li both got into the car with him.

Jiang Yanqi looked at his tall and straight back, feeling both pain and love in her heart.

She loved money and power, and she also loved Lu Zhengye. If she had known that Lu Zhengye would attain this status and position, she would never have made the wrong choice.

For the first time, Jiang Yanqi shed tears of deep regret.

After Lu Zhengye left, Lin Yusheng remained absent-minded.

When it was Jiang Yanqi's turn, no one came on stage for a long time, and many audience members said that someone had already left.

Qin Yi also proposed leaving at this time.

Lin Yusheng drove Lu Shifan home.

Just as she was about to enter the residential area, someone stopped her car.

Lin Yusheng then noticed a Rolls-Royce parked in the alleyway ahead that turned left, and the person who stopped the car appeared to be a bodyguard.

Lin Yusheng's heart tightened, and she immediately became vigilant.

She hasn't forgotten her previous lesson.

The bodyguard knocked on Lin Yusheng's car window.

Lin Yusheng did not lower herself down; she planned to drive away directly.

Just before she was about to start the car again, a woman got out of the Rolls-Royce.

She had chestnut-colored wavy hair and delicate features that made her look like she stepped out of a comic book.

Lin Yusheng knew her; she was the only daughter of the president of Country K.

"Mommy, who is she? She looks like a princess. Is she your friend?"

"No, you stay in the car and Mommy will go out for a bit."

"good."

Lin Yusheng didn't know the daughter of the president of Country K. The only connection she could think of was Lu Zhengye.

As far as she knew, Lu Zhengye's status in Country K was no less than that of the Lu family in Country A. The president of Country K praised him highly, so his daughter must know Lu Zhengye.

Lin Yusheng got out of the car.

The two women were already on edge the moment they met for the first time.

"Are you Lin Yusheng?"

Lin Yusheng said, "Haven't you already investigated everything? Why waste your breath? Just be direct. What do you want from me?"

Qian Yijun raised an eyebrow; she enjoyed talking to intelligent people.

“Lu Zhengye is the person I have my eye on. In the past, your status was barely enough to match him, but now the Lin family is not what it used to be. I hope you can be sensible.”

Lin Yusheng wasn't very surprised. "If you were confident that you could win him over, you wouldn't be here tonight."

"Thank you. Since even you think I pose a threat to you in his heart, then I'm relieved. After all, I always thought he didn't care about me anymore," Lin Yusheng said with a smile.

Qian Yijun was shocked that she would interpret it this way.

"Lin Yusheng, can't you understand human language? I said you're not good enough for him. Don't you have any self-awareness? I'm the daughter of the president of K Country. If he marries me, not only will his career be more successful, but he might even be able to bring the Island of the Dead Slave under K Country's administration. And what can you bring him?"

Lin Yusheng's politeness vanished, replaced by an aloofness. "Aye is no one's property. Instead of wasting your time here, you should ask him what he thinks."

"So you still don't want to leave him, and you're still attached to his current status and power?" Qian Yijun's words were harsh.

Lin Yusheng looked at her with disdain. "The comments about you in K country are all praise, but I really didn't expect that a K country star with a high level of education and good looks would speak so harshly. It's really... an insult to culture."

Her voice was calm and soothing, but it ignited Qian Yijun's anger.

She originally only wanted to offer some kind advice, but she didn't expect Lin Yusheng to be so tactless.

"What gave you that confidence? The child in the car?"

Lin Yusheng said coldly, "Since you already know this, are you still eager to become a stepmother?"

Lu Shifan leaned against the car window, listening intently with a worried expression.

"Stepmother? Ridiculous. Is this child legitimate? If A-Ye marries me, this child will only be considered an illegitimate child. After all, A-Ye didn't know about the child's birth, right? What's the difference between this and a bastard?"

Qian Yijun laughed when she saw Lin Yusheng's back stiffen instantly.

These words directly crossed Lin Yusheng's bottom line.

But the child was still alive, and she couldn't lose her composure; besides, she was outnumbered.

Qian Yijun felt she had won back the game and smiled smugly, completely unaware that her words had gone against the teachings she had received over the years.

From the moment she first saw Lu Zhengye, she felt that only this person was worthy of her.

But her pride wouldn't allow her to take the initiative; instead, she decided to play the long game.

Lu Zhengye's indifference did not discourage her; on the contrary, it fueled her competitive spirit.

But the only change was when she saw this child. He looked so much like Lu Zhengye that she could easily find out about their past relationship with him.

Lin Yusheng loosened her clenched hands, blood seeping from her palms. "Aye and I have never officially broken up, and our child is legitimate. You are an outsider, a self-righteous outsider, and you have no right to judge us."

"Really? If that's the case, why hasn't A-Ye come to see you even once? Also, when your child calls him 'Dad,' does he respond?"

Qian Yijun found Lin Yusheng's sore spot and wished she could kick her a few more times.
