After the divorce, Shen Qingchen's heart was torn into countless pieces, each of which carried the love and helplessness for Jiang Zhi, as well as the painful pursuit of the truth about his father's murder. He knew that his decision was like a knife in Jiang Zhi's heart, but in order to protect her, he had no choice.
In order to make his enemies mistakenly believe that Jiang Zhi had nothing to do with him, Shen Qingchen deliberately brought Jiang Yao back. Jiang Yao, a woman who had always admired Shen Qingchen, was secretly proud when she learned that she had the opportunity to get close to Shen Qingchen. She dressed up carefully, trying to show her best side in front of Shen Qingchen.
When Shen Qingchen and Jiang Yao appeared in front of Jiang Zhi, Jiang Zhi's world seemed to collapse again. She looked at the two people in front of her. Shen Qingchen's face was a coldness she had never seen before, while Jiang Yao deliberately snuggled up to Shen Qingchen, her eyes revealing provocation and complacency.
"Qingchen, she..." Jiang Zhi's voice trembled, his eyes full of shock and confusion.
Shen Qingchen avoided Jiang Zhi’s gaze and said coldly: “This is Jiang Yao, she will be with me in the future.”
Jiang Zhi's heart seemed to be hit hard. She didn't believe it was true. She looked at Shen Qingchen, trying to find a flaw in his eyes and find the reason why he did this. However, there was only indifference in Shen Qingchen's eyes, as if they had never had those beautiful memories between them.
Jiang Yao took the opportunity to say, "Jiang Zhi, you and Qing Chen are over. Please stay away from him from now on." Her words were full of the attitude of a winner, which deepened the pain in Jiang Zhi's heart.
Jiang Zhi held back her tears, and she told herself that she couldn't show weakness in front of them. She straightened her back, looked at Shen Qingchen and said, "Qingchen, I don't believe you would do this to me. There must be a reason, right?"
Shen Qingchen remained silent, his heart bleeding, but he couldn't show it. He knew that only in this way could Jiang Zhi stay away from danger.
Seeing that Shen Qingchen was silent, Jiang Yao became even more proud. She began to show off her "relationship" with Shen Qingchen in front of Jiang Zhi, telling him where they had been together and what they had done. Jiang Zhi felt a pang of pain in her heart when she heard this, but she remained calm.
In the days that followed, Jiang Yao deliberately acted intimate with Shen Qingchen on various occasions, just to irritate Jiang Zhi. At company gatherings, she would hold Shen Qingchen's arm tightly, showing off their "love" to everyone. Jiang Zhi could only watch silently, the pain in her heart growing.
Jiang Zhi often felt Jiang Yao's harassment at work. She exploited her position at the company to deliberately create problems for Jiang Zhi. She would secretly create obstacles in Jiang Zhi's projects, hindering their progress. Or she would deliberately find fault with Jiang Zhi in meetings, putting her in awkward situations.
Once, the company had an important project that required teamwork. As one of the core members of the project, Jiang Zhi put in a lot of effort. However, at a critical moment, Jiang Yao deliberately leaked key information to a competitor, causing the project to fall into crisis.
Jiang Zhi immediately began investigating upon hearing the news. She quickly discovered Jiang Yao's suspicious behavior, but she didn't confront her directly. Instead, she calmly gathered evidence. She knew that only by speaking with facts could she prevent Jiang Yao from making excuses.
During this process, Jiang Zhi's colleagues also began to perceive Jiang Yao's malicious intentions. Some colleagues who once had prejudices against Jiang Zhi gradually changed their views on her after seeing her strength and hard work in the face of difficulties, and began to silently support her.
Although Shen Qingchen was with Jiang Yao on the surface, he was always concerned about Jiang Zhi in his heart. He saw the difficulties Jiang Zhi encountered at work, and his heart was filled with guilt and helplessness. He knew that all this was because of him, but he couldn't come forward to help Jiang Zhi, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.
One day, Shen Qingchen overheard his colleagues discussing Jiang Zhi's situation in the office. He learned that Jiang Zhi was struggling to cope with the trouble Jiang Yao had caused, and he felt both admiration and heartache. He silently cheered for Jiang Zhi, hoping she could get through this difficult time.
At night, Shen Qingchen returned home, looked at the empty room, and thought of the good times he had spent with Jiang Zhi. His heart was filled with regret, but he knew that he had to persevere in order to protect Jiang Zhi and find out the truth about his father's murder.
While Jiang Zhi was diligently gathering evidence, Jiang Yao began a new conspiracy. Knowing that Jiang Zhi was investigating the data leak, she decided to preemptively attack. She approached the company's top management and falsely accused Jiang Zhi of leaking the information, attempting to ruin his reputation within the company.
Jiang Zhi didn't panic when she heard the news. She knew Jiang Yao was desperate, and she already had enough evidence to prove her innocence. She took the evidence and went straight to the company's chairman, telling him the whole truth.
After reading the evidence provided by Jiang Zhi, the chairman was furious at Jiang Yao's behavior. He decided to deal with Jiang Yao seriously, and at the same time, he also had a new understanding of Jiang Zhi's ability and character.
After this incident, Jiang Zhi's position in the company became more secure. Her strength and wisdom earned her the respect and recognition of her colleagues. Meanwhile, although Jiang Yao didn't receive a severe punishment, her reputation was significantly affected.
However, the pain in Jiang Zhi's heart did not ease. She still didn't understand why Shen Qingchen treated her like this, and her love for Shen Qingchen gradually became confused in the pain. She didn't know how to face the man she once loved deeply, nor did she know what their future would be like.
