"Hahahaha... I knew my brother wouldn't marry that bitch." Shen Jiayi laughed so hard she almost fell over.
In a large private room, a group of young men and women gathered together, laughing and joking, enthusiastically discussing the news released by various media outlets that day.
A woman with long, wavy hair and heavy makeup sat next to Shen Jiayi and, upon hearing this, smiled and chimed in, "That's right, I knew President Shen's taste wouldn't be that bad."
"Does a destitute family like the Ye family even dare to talk about a marriage alliance with the Shen family? They really don't know their own limitations. If it were really a marriage alliance, would the Ye family even have a chance?"
"I've disliked that bitch Ye Zhao for a long time. If it weren't for President Shen's sake, I would have taught her a lesson."
"Speaking of that day... we haven't heard from Ye Zhao since. I heard she hasn't returned to the Ye family either. Where did she go?"
"Where could she go? She probably found out that President Shen wanted to cancel the engagement with her, and she's too ashamed to face anyone, right?"
"Exactly. She was so arrogant before that she probably offended a lot of people. Without President Shen, who would let her off the hook? She'll definitely be keeping a low profile these days!"
"Hey, Jiayi, isn't Ye Ling her sister? You should know where she is now, right?"
Shen Jiayi curled her lip in disdain upon hearing this: "Who knows? They don't get along."
Speaking of this, Shen Jiayi was also a little annoyed. It was one thing that Ye Zhao had disappeared, but Ye Ling had also vanished recently.
She had barely finished speaking when someone hesitated and said, "I heard that Ye Ling recently started working at Jiang's..."
Under the gaze of everyone, her voice grew softer and softer.
Shen Jiayi's previously indifferent expression suddenly became much more serious. She frowned and asked, "Which Jiang family?"
Someone in the crowd whispered, "It can't be Jiang Che's company, can it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone noticed that Shen Jiayi's expression grew increasingly grim.
"It seems...yes, I ran into her while shopping that day. She seemed quite happy buying clothes, saying she was going to work at Jiang's. I didn't ask her much at the time..."
Everyone in the industry knows that Shen Jiayi has liked Jiang Che of the Jiang family since she was a child. Over the years, she has tried her best to get close to him, but all she gets is the title of "young lady from a prominent family". Some time ago, she even went to England on a business trip to avoid him. She hasn't returned for three months. Just when there was some news recently, we heard that Ye Ling joined the Jiang family. Who would be happy to hear that?
The atmosphere in the private room fell silent for a moment. Someone said indignantly, "What does Ye Ling mean by this? Her sister just canceled her engagement with President Shen, and now she's trying to curry favor with the Jiang family?"
"These Ye family members are disgusting!"
"What a despicable family..."
Seeing Shen Jiayi's increasingly gloomy expression, the beautiful woman with long, wavy hair smiled and said, "The Ye family members are such good-for-nothings, you don't even need to think to know what they're up to. Jiang Che isn't that kind of person, Jiayi, don't worry!"
Shen Jiayi knew, of course, that Jiang Che wasn't that kind of person. She just found Ye Ling's petty schemes disgusting. No wonder she had been subtly inquiring about Jiang Che before; she was waiting here. She wouldn't let her succeed.
The people in the private room were led by Shen Jiayi, and the others were daughters and sons of various companies in City A. However, none of them had the same family background as Shen Jiayi, since the Shen family's influence in City A was extraordinary and could not be compared with that of ordinary companies.
After the news of Shen Du and Ye Zhao canceling their engagement was released by the media, Ye Zhao's phone was bombarded with messages and calls. These were nothing more than harassing messages from a group of people who wanted to kick someone when they were down. Ye Zhao didn't read any of them, turned off her phone and lay on the deck chair on the balcony, leisurely basking in the sun.
Unlike Ye Zhao, there was also a lot of news about Chen Du, but most of it was teasing him about getting rid of Ye Zhao's entanglement and congratulating him on regaining his freedom.
He Jie, Wang Shuo, and a few others were unusually active in the group chat, with messages beeping incessantly. Chen Du looked at the pile of documents on the table and tossed his phone aside.
When Xie Yao knocked and came in, Chen Du was engrossed in reading a document. He looked up when he heard her, his serious and sharp gaze falling on Xie Yao. She paused instinctively before regaining her composure.
"Mr. Shen, there's a document that needs your signature."
Shen Du nodded, silently took the document and signed it. At that moment, his phone, which was placed to the side, rang.
Chen Du frowned, picked up his phone, and answered the call.
"What's up?" His tone was as calm and low as ever.
Xie Yao didn't know what was being said on the other end of the phone, but she saw Shen Du gradually frown, looking at the documents while casually listening to the phone, occasionally humming in agreement. His slender fingers landed on the A4 paper, his knuckles distinct and the veins faintly visible. Xie Yao was so engrossed in watching that she forgot to look away.
Shen Du listened to He Jie's words in a half-hearted manner, his gaze gradually shifting to Xie Yao. Seeing her staring blankly at the documents beside him, Shen Du's movements stiffened slightly as he flipped through them. It wasn't until Xie Yao looked away that Shen Du's movements returned to normal.
"Are you even listening to me? We've organized a get-together today to celebrate you getting rid of Ye Zhao, you have to come!"
"knew."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Du handed the signed document to Xie Yao. The two looked at each other but didn't say anything. Xie Yao silently took the document, turned around, and went out.
Shen Du opened his mouth as if to call out to her, but he didn't know what to say, so he just watched her walk away in silence.
When Yang Xu returned, Chen Du had already returned to his work. Hearing the sound, he looked up and asked, "How did it go? Did you hand everything over to her?"
Yang Xu nodded: "Miss Ye didn't say much, only that she thanked the old man for his kindness, and also..."
Shen Du frowned as he listened to his hesitant speech and said, "Speak."
Yang Xu then continued, "Miss Ye said that after the old man's birthday banquet, when things have calmed down, she wants to go to another place to rest and prepare for childbirth."
After a moment of silence, Shen Du slowly said, "Ask her where she wants to go, make arrangements for her, and then let me know."
Yang Xu hesitated before speaking, "Miss Ye means... she wants to make the arrangements herself, saying she doesn't want you to worry about it, and she will contact you if anything happens."
Chen Du fell silent, then simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
After Yang Xu left, Chen Du sat for a long time before picking up his phone and making a call.
"Yang Xu already told me, where... do you want to go?"
Ye Zhao's languid voice came: "I haven't decided yet. I probably won't settle down anywhere. If you want to see the child in the future, contact me in advance."
Hearing Ye Zhao's languid voice, Chen Du remained silent for two seconds before asking again, "Should I arrange for two people to take care of you?"
Ye Zhao refused without hesitation: "No need, I can take care of myself."
