The Cheng and Jiang families were set for a commercial marriage alliance. Outsiders all said that since both families were old acquaintances, and Cheng's young master and Jiang's eldest dau...

"What? I spent so much money to take care of your business, but your Second Young Master Ling didn't even show up. Is this how he does business?" Cheng Shuze glanced at the smiling staff in front of him.

The auctioneer's hammer fell, finalizing the lot's destination and bringing the auction to a close. The winner of the item would be approached by a staff member to confirm the item and complete the transaction. If the item was large, they could provide an address and the staff would deliver it to their door.

According to common sense, for buyers who spent a lot of money, a higher-level person in charge must always be in charge to liaise with them personally, especially since Cheng Shuze spent over nine figures. Fulai can make a lot of money from the 1% agency fee alone, so Ling Jingzhi should come in person.

It was only the last match, but the Second Young Master and this gentleman had a quarrel, and it was an ugly scene. After the auction, the Second Young Master disappeared, and it seemed that he would not put aside his pride and come in person to meet with the meeting, so the general manager had to bring his people here first.

"Well...our Second Young Master was temporarily tied up and can't come for the time being. I hope Mr. Cheng will forgive me." The general manager smiled apologetically and respectfully handed the ring to Cheng Shuze, "Your item."

"Is there something wrong? Are you busy looking for someone?" Cheng Shuze chuckled, took the ring box, opened the lid and took a look. It was indeed Rose Kiss, and waved his hand casually.

Jiang Yiyun and Tang Ya packed up their things and were about to leave when there was a knock on the door. The person knocked very urgently, and before the person in the room could speak, he pushed the door open and walked in as soon as the knocking stopped.

Ling Jingzhi called out to the people in the room: "Jiang Jiang."

Jiang Yiyun asked in surprise: "Huh? Are you done?"

The bidding was so intense just now. Although the auctioneer would not reveal the client's name, it was obvious that it was Ling Jingzhi and Cheng Shuze who were fighting for Sister Jiang.

Especially the room number. She handed the invitation Ling Jingzhi gave her to Yang Han. Yang Han dragged Cheng Shuze here and slapped Ling Jingzhi in the face. Tang Ya was too guilty to stand in front of Ling Jingzhi. Jiang Yiyu had a good psychological quality and remained calm in front of Ling Jingzhi.

Fortunately, Ling Jingzhi didn't plan to mention the invitation.

"I've been so busy today, I should have given it to you guys."

"No need to send me off, a driver will pick me up. If you're busy, don't worry about us." Jiang Yiyu declined the offer.

"That ring," Ling Jingzhi paused, "two years ago, I was lucky enough to get a white diamond with a clarity of IF or better while I was abroad. I originally wanted to buy your ring, have it polished, and set the white diamond in it, but unfortunately I missed it."

Fortunately, he didn't buy it. Jiang Yiyun quickly waved her hand and said, "Don't feel sorry. I didn't want that ring anyway. If you really want to give it to me again, it's too expensive for me to accept."

"It's not a very valuable item. As long as you like it," Ling Jingzhi whispered. "When I received your ring, for a moment, I really didn't want to put it in the auction."

As the person in charge of the auction house, it is his duty to properly handle the auction items sent by the client according to the client's instructions. It is also the industry reputation that their Ling family has built over the years.

If managers privately withhold auction items, no matter how valuable they are, it is enough to destroy decades of hard work of the entire group and is also a taboo that the family strictly prohibits.

He thought he was calm and composed, but the moment he saw the ring, all the memories of hearing about her and Cheng Shuze's marriage when he was abroad came to his mind. He just hoped that the ring could be completely shattered immediately and never appear in the world again.

I didn’t take a picture this time, what a pity.

"It's good that it's sold. You can make some money." Jiang Yiyu walked out and changed the subject. Just as she walked out of the door that Ling Jingzhi pushed open for her, she paused.

Ling Jingzhi followed behind her, looked up and narrowed his eyes.

Not far from her room, at the end of the corridor, a slender black figure leaned lazily against the wall. Seeing them come out one after another, Cheng Shuze weighed the black box in his hand, raised his lips, and walked over with long legs.

"You've been talking for so long? We haven't seen each other for so long, and you still have a lot to talk about?"

I haven't seen him for several years, but Cheng Shuze doesn't seem to have changed much since he was in high school. He still looks so arrogant and domineering.

Ling Jingzhi sneered and was about to step forward to speak, but Jiang Yiyu had already raised her head and rolled her eyes, her tone even more condescending than Cheng Shuze's.

"What does it have to do with you?"

I just had a few words with Ling Jingzhi in the private room, and most of the people have left. Now there are only a few familiar people left in the spacious corridor. Fortunately, there are only a few of them, otherwise we won’t have to wait until tomorrow morning. Tonight’s evening gossip show will have them as the protagonists and unfold a triangular gossip story.

Even Yang Han, who was at the end of the aisle, shrank his neck and just waved to Jiang Yiyu from a distance as a greeting. He had no intention of getting close to the central Shura field at all. Tang Ya, who had originally been holding Jiang Yiyu's arm when she went out, had already let go of her arm and quickly retreated back into the house.

"It doesn't matter. As your ex, I just want to see what kind of backup you have found. If it's too bad, it would be embarrassing for me." Cheng Shuze moved closer to Jiang Yiyu and lowered his face.

Jiang Yiyun wasn't short and was wearing stilettos. Even with Cheng Shuze standing with his legs bent, he was still more than half a head taller than her, giving her a rather oppressive feeling. The last time they met, the bandage on his forehead had been removed, and it was probably still healing. A short scar, about five centimeters long, stretched beneath his bangs.

Jiang Yiyu raised her head and glanced at Cheng Shuze's face, forgetting everything she wanted to say.

"Here, for you."

Cheng Shuze threw the black box in his hand into Jiang Yiyu's hands without any reluctance, and Jiang Yiyu subconsciously reached out to catch it.

"You're really saving yourself the trouble by throwing unwanted trash to someone who doesn't want it."

Cheng Shuze said this lightly, and when his eyes passed from behind Jiang Yiyu to Ling Jingzhi, he even had the leisure to greet him, as if he had not said anything that hurt him at all.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you don't seem to have made any progress."

Without waiting for Ling Jingzhi to speak, he brushed past Jiang Yiyu's shoulder and walked down the stairs without looking back. Yang Han, who was watching the show carefully on the side, hurriedly followed his steps.

Jiang Yiyu stared at Cheng Shuze's departing back and clenched the box in her hand.

"Are you having a conflict with Shuze?" The voice asked softly, with gentle words, as the aroma of tea drifted in the hall connected to the courtyard, which was bathed in morning light.

"It's been there for a long time, but it just broke out now."

"Why did I hear that you took action?"

"Where did this rumor come from? I didn't do anything. Oh no! I didn't intend to do anything in the first place. If you want to blame someone, blame Cheng Shuze himself."

Compared with the beautiful woman in cheongsam sitting at the tea table with gentle manners, Jiang Yiyu, who was lying on the sofa with her legs crossed, had no image at all. She looked like a child who had not grown up, just like before.

Jiang Yu poured out the first splash of scalding tea, listened to his daughter's drawn-out complaints, and shook his head.

"Why? Weren't you so happy and cheerful a few years ago?"

"No way," Jiang Yiyun sat up and started talking. "Ours is a simple business marriage. It's all because of the engagement you made for us when we were young. It's just a marriage based on the cooperative relationship between our two families. Cheng Shuze keeps talking about business marriage. Business marriages based on interests are the most solid in the world. He's sure that I won't divorce for your sake. I deviate."

Jiang Yiyu was very angry. She vented all her anger at home that she had not been able to vent in front of Cheng Shuze some time ago.

Cheng Shuze's attitude was clear: he simply believed they were a family acquaintance, had years of business cooperation, and had been recognized by their parents, elders, and friends since childhood. Therefore, no matter how much they argued about a breakup, he didn't take her request for divorce seriously. He thought he'd change his mind after a while, once her anger had subsided. He was wrong. Impossible! She wouldn't turn back this time!

In other words, she will never look back easily!

Sure enough, he still has the temper of a child. As a bystander who has experienced this, Jiang Yu sighed but felt relieved.

Her daughter returned to the mansion alone and without saying a word, she flashed a divorce certificate in front of her, which almost scared her to death. She had imagined many possibilities in her mind, and she felt relieved when she heard her daughter's words.

She said that the boy from the Cheng family, whom she had watched grow up, had no problems with his character.

As for relationships, it's up to the younger generation to be happy with them. And if you want a long-lasting relationship, you can't just have the passion of a passionate love affair. If problems arise, letting them adjust on their own can be a good thing.

Other families might have to consider business partnerships and treat marriage as a sales contract that cannot be easily broken, but the girl in her family has been spoiled since she was a child and has a proud personality. She can do whatever she wants, after all, she has her father and grandfather to support her.

Listening to her girl scolding him repeatedly, "Cheng Shuze doesn't like me at all, and I think he has wanted to leave me for a long time", Jiang Yu gently shook the white porcelain teacup, and the aroma of the old tea that had been awakened three times rose up. He picked it up and took a sip.

"As long as it's your own decision, don't regret it."

Jiang Yiyun replied, "I won't regret the divorce." After a pause, she put on a flattering smile, trotted a few steps, and eagerly squeezed her mother's shoulders, "My dearest mommy, when will dad come back?"

"The business trip should take about a week, right? What's wrong?"

"Then when he comes back and knows that I'm divorced, can you please say a few good words for me?" Her father likes Cheng Shuze very much and has praised Cheng Shuze more than once as the perfect son-in-law in his mind. God knows what Cheng Shuze has done to her father again. If her father knew that she was divorced, he would definitely be angry.

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes and heard the second half of Jiang Yiyu's unfinished sentence as expected.

"I'm thinking of starting a short play project recently, and I'd like my dad to lend me a hand and sponsor me a little bit." Jiang Yiyu stretched out three fingers of her right hand and rubbed them.

She knew that this girl was being so attentive for no reason and it was impossible for her not to get something from them.
