But since he had already said that, Jiang Yilai had no choice but to follow his instructions and wait where she was.

She looked out the window; it had changed quite a bit in the years she hadn't been back.

Ever since meeting Fu Nanxiao, her mood has been affected, and leaving was indeed the right choice.

She was very emotional last night and only managed to close her eyes for a short while. Now that the case is over, she feels a little more relaxed.

As she waited, she grew tired and drifted off to sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the car window. Jiang Yilai opened her eyes and saw Fu Nanxiao's cold face.

If you hate her, why get close to her in the first place?

If it's out of revenge, that's really unfair to her!

How long are you going to make me stand outside?

When Fu Nanxiao spoke, she immediately realized her situation and quickly opened the car door to get out.

"Sorry, I fell asleep."

"It's easy to fall asleep if you're carefree."

She took a deep breath before replying, "What do you want from me?"

"Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

"I haven't forgotten. What are your instructions?"

"Starting tomorrow, I will be staying at the Fu family's house so that I can be at their beck and call at any time."

"I can't agree to that; I have my own things to do."

If they moved into the Fu family's house, they wouldn't be able to take care of the children, and besides, given Jiang Wenxi's situation, it was impossible to entrust her to anyone else.

Fu Nanxiao seemed somewhat annoyed by her rejection.

"You're trying to burn bridges after you've crossed the river."

"Your use of that word is inappropriate; it's clearly a threat. And I haven't broken my promise. Just tell me what you want to do."

"Very good, then you'd better remember that."

Fu Nanxiao rattled off a whole bunch of things, and Jiang Yilai listened attentively and took them to heart. She admired Fu Nanxiao for even assigning her the task of watering the flowers in the backyard; it was clearly a way of making her do hard labor.

If this is how he punishes people, it only shows how low-level he is.

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yilai, who was lost in thought, and asked unhappily, "Did you remember what I just said?"

Jiang Yilai nodded and repeated it word for word.

He truly deserves to be called a top student; he can remember what I say even when I'm not paying attention.

"Do you have any other instructions?"

Fu Nanxiao couldn't possibly travel all that way just to talk about things that can be done on a mobile phone.

"The company has recently encountered a dispute. Go and find out what's going on, and then handle it properly."

"Your company has its own legal department, there's no need to assign it to me. If I get involved, it will just waste more of my time."

More importantly, this kind of thing can't be resolved in a few days; if we stay any longer, it will definitely cause more problems.

Jiang Yilai will follow his arrangements because she wants him to calm down as soon as possible so she can leave and doesn't want any further involvement.

Fu Nanxiao seemed to see right through her, and he wasn't about to let her leave so easily.

That's your problem.

Jiang Yilai shook her head: "I refuse."

Annoyed, Fu Nanxiao said unhappily, "You think that because I don't have anything to restrain you right now, you can resist my orders."

"I didn't mean that. I'm just doing what I can."

"You're famous now, this is nothing to you."

"Let's get straight to the point, what exactly do you want?"

"What do you want to do?" Fu Nanxiao practically spat out those words.

He gritted his teeth as he looked up at her through the curtain before continuing, "Back then you abandoned me like a dog. Now that you're back, do you think I'll give you a good life?"

"That's not true at all. All I wanted back then was freedom."

"You betrayed me for your freedom, leaving me regardless of my life or death. Your freedom is truly great."
