"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Zhou Changhe's face turned pale.
He and Li Changsheng were alumni, and the two were indeed in cahoots. They originally wanted to dig a pit for Xia Hanyue to fall into, but instead of falling in, the woman beat up Li Changsheng.
Now Li Changsheng no longer dared to play any other tricks and obediently signed the contract.
He originally thought no one knew about his relationship with Li Changsheng, but who would have thought that Xia Hanyue would come knocking on his door now.
Thinking about this woman's methods and reputation in the industry, Zhou Changhe felt a chill run down his spine. This time, he was probably really going to be in deep trouble.
“These are things Li Changsheng admitted himself. He wrote down all the details. Do you want to take a look?” Xia Hanyue grabbed an envelope and threw it in Zhou Changhe’s face.
Zhou Changhe dared not look, because he knew it was true even without looking.
He cursed Li Changsheng inwardly, thinking he was a scoundrel. He had tried everything to help Li Changsheng deal with Xia Hanyue, but the bastard turned around and betrayed him. He was such a despicable person.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Xia Hanyue stared at Zhou Changhe.
"What... what do you want to do?" Zhou Changhe felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew how far behind Yuansheng Group was, and he also knew how ruthless this woman was. Now that Xia Hanyue had her eye on him, he didn't dare to utter a single word.
"Tell me, how do you want to teach him a lesson?" Xia Hanyue turned to look at Ye Xingchen.
"Stay away from my women from now on, it's that simple." Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
"Did you hear me? Stay away from my niece." Xia Hanyue looked at Zhou Changhe with a warning look: "Otherwise, I'll really chop off your hand."
"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem at all." Zhou Changhe nodded repeatedly, how could he dare to say a single word of dissent?
"Remember this: if she causes trouble for my daughter in the future, I will hold you responsible as well." Ye Xingchen pointed at Li Qianlan.
“But I can’t control her either,” Zhou Changhe said with a mournful face.
"That's your problem. Why don't you just marry her and tell her to stop causing trouble in the future?" Ye Xingchen had a wicked idea.
"Ah, this, this..." Li Qianlan stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Alright, I'll be going now if there's nothing else." Ye Xingchen took Lin Nianwei's hand and was about to leave.
"Nianwei..." Li Qianlan called out to her daughter cautiously.
Lin Nianwei hesitated for a moment, then said to Ye Xingchen, "You go first, I'll say a few words to her."
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs." Ye Xingchen nodded and left with Xia Hanyue.
As Xia Hanyue left, she gave Zhou Changhe a warning look, and Zhou Changhe shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.
"Nianwei, I really didn't mean it. I did all this for your own good." Li Qianlan squeezed out tears, looking like a doting mother who spoils her daughter.
"Mom, this is the last time I'll call you Mom. Can you really put your hand on your heart and say that everything you've done was for my own good?" Lin Nianwei looked up at Li Qianlan, who was making faces and pretending to wipe away tears, but she felt nothing.
She had seen far too many tears like that—tears of money, demands for blind dates, and requests to attend various banquets and squeeze into high society circles.
She even goes so far as to expose a little bit of her chest, telling herself how to subtly attract a man's attention, and so on.
Lin Nianwei had seen too much of it and was tired of it.
From her debut until now, a large portion of the money she has earned has gone into Li Qianlan's pocket.
She frequented luxury stores, traveled to Europe and America, and went to high-end beauty centers, squandering all her hard-earned money.
Now she feels that her ability to generate income is too slow, and she even wants to marry a man in his fifties.
Honestly, Li Qianlan can no longer gain Lin Nianwei's sympathy; everything she has done is her own doing.
"Of course I'm doing this for your own good. Your father passed away early, and I raised you with great difficulty. Is it wrong for me to want to make your life better?" Li Qianlan cried, "All my heart and soul have been wasted."
"Don't you know how my father died?" Lin Nianwei said coldly, "When I was seven years old, you brought a man home for the night, but I never expected my father to suddenly come back that day."
"He caught you in your dirty laundry and drove off in a rage, which resulted in a car accident."
"His death was all your fault. After all these years, have you ever felt even a little bit of remorse towards him? You haven't even visited his grave once."
"You're not a good wife, and you're even less of a good mother."
"What are you saying, Nianwei? No matter what, I'm still your mother. Is that Ye Xingchen very influential in Yanjing? Who is he? If you like him, Mom won't object," Li Qianlan said cautiously.
"I can tell you with certainty that his mother is a high-ranking official, his aunt is the president of one of the top companies in Yanjing, and his own company is worth tens of billions." Lin Nianwei looked at her coldly.
"That's great! It's wonderful that you two are together..." Li Qianlan was overjoyed. Her daughter had married into a wealthy family after all.
“But none of this has anything to do with you.” Lin Nianwei’s words made Li Qianlan’s heart sink instantly.
"What did you say, you brat? You married into a wealthy family and became a rich wife, so you don't care about me anymore? I don't agree to this!" Li Qianlan screamed.
"Because I'm severing our mother-daughter relationship. From now on, we'll have nothing to do with each other. I'll give you some money as a token of gratitude for giving me life and raising me, but this is the last time." Lin Nianwei said coldly, "Whatever happens to you in the future is none of my business."
After Lin Nianwei finished speaking, she turned and left resolutely.
"Lin Nianwei, where are you going? Stop right there! Stop right there!"
Lin Nianwei covered her ears and quickly left; she really didn't want to hear a single word from Li Qianlan.
Behind her came Li Qianlan's angry curses and screams. Only after Lin Nianwei disappeared did she sit down on the ground and burst into tears.
Ye Xingchen was waiting for her in the car. Lin Nianwei looked relaxed after getting in.
"Is everything resolved?" Ye Xingchen asked with a smile.
"It's resolved." Lin Nianwei raised her head and said quietly, "I'm saying goodbye to the past."
"A toast to the future." Ye Xingchen handed her a glass of wine.
"To the future." Lin Nianwei and Ye Xingchen bumped into each other.
Chen Wanning is swinging his club at a private golf course.
He hit a ball into the hole, put down his club, and sat down to rest under the awning.
Wu Li hurried over and bowed slightly to Chen Wanning: "Old Chen."
"How is it?" Chen Wanning asked with a slight smile.
"The autopsy results for the horse are in, here is the report." Wu Li handed over a document: "According to the forensic examination, there is indeed a chronic toxin in the horse's body, which affects the equine's nervous system."
