"Honey, why did it take you so long to get here?"
Mo Sangyu smiled and stepped forward, taking his arm.
Her tone was full of coquettish complaints.
Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned to look at Chu Wuyang, who was still standing there.
"By the way, I also owe a lot to this young lady's help."
"I couldn't find my way and almost blocked the traffic while standing in the middle of the road. Luckily, she helped me get away in time, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing for me to stand there in the rain alone."
Jing Min remained indifferent and did not respond.
Mo Sangyu didn't seem to notice and continued speaking to herself.
“She was worried that I might run into some trouble again, so she specially came in with me to this coffee shop to wait for you. I am really grateful to her.”
At this point, she suddenly realized something, lightly patted her forehead, and looked apologetic.
"Oh dear, I haven't even asked your name yet, I'm so sorry."
"My name is Mo Sangyu, and this is my husband, Jingmin."
"I don't know how to address you?"
Chu Wuyang stood still, her expression calm, as if she were processing the sudden and absurd reality.
She never expected that, five years later, she would casually help a woman who was lost on the street.
It turns out she is Jingmin's current wife.
For a brief moment, her mind went blank.
But he had already composed himself and was about to speak when he heard a familiar voice.
"Long time no see, Miss Chu."
Jing Min spoke, his tone neither warm nor cold, but his voice was as clear and deep as he remembered, with a familiar quality that made one's heart skip a beat.
Mo Sangyu paused for a moment, then looked at him in surprise.
"Huh? You...know each other?"
Jing Min's gaze remained fixed on Chu Wuyang, his eyes deep and his expression indifferent. He was calm and composed, even his breathing seemed to be precisely controlled.
This was the first time in five years that Chu Wuyang had seen this familiar face up close.
Time seems to have been exceptionally kind to him; he shows no signs of aging and remains young, handsome, and possesses an outstanding presence.
However, her current demeanor is more refined and reserved, with an added air of aloofness that makes her difficult to understand.
Previously, one could glean subtle hints of joy or anger from his refined appearance.
Now, just by standing there, he exudes an air of mystery and unapproachability.
Jing Min finally turned to look at Mo Sangyu, his voice light and soft.
"know."
He paused for a moment, then added, his tone so calm and even that it was completely flat.
"This Miss Chu, whose full name is Chu Wuyang, is my ex-wife."
Mo Sangyu stood there, stunned, her pupils suddenly dilating.
She even reflexively covered her mouth, looking shocked, as if she had been startled on the spot.
Jingmin had been married before returning to the Jin family; this was no secret, and was even public knowledge.
The entire upper echelon knows about it.
Back when Mr. Jin was still alive, he personally commented on his ex-wife—she came from an ordinary background and had an unremarkable family history, and was not worthy of the Jin family at all.
The real reason for their divorce remains a mystery.
There are many rumors circulating, with various versions, but none of them have been confirmed.
However, the most widely circulated and considered "truth" version of events at the Jin family manor is that Jing Min's ex-wife was materialistic, short-sighted, and even feared that the power struggles within the Jin family would implicate her, ultimately betraying and abandoning him.
It is said that this information came from Jing Min's closest assistant, who blurted it out while drunk.
The rumor of "betrayal" is over 90% credible.
After all, everyone had witnessed Jing Min's miserable state at that time.
When he first returned to the Jin family, he had nothing and was inexplicably covered in injuries, making him the least favored heir by outsiders.
After hearing this "reliable information," she felt a deep contempt for the ex-wife for quite some time.
Women from humble backgrounds ultimately have a narrow perspective; they easily abandon their partners to escape hardship.
However, she could also understand.
People from humble backgrounds only care about immediate gains; there's no way love could exist between them.
Jingmin's circumstances were indeed the worst at the time, but fortunately, she had a keen eye for talent.
From the first time she saw Jing Min, she knew that this man was no ordinary person; he must be an exceptional individual.
How could someone chosen personally by Mr. Jin Yong be mediocre? Even at his worst, he's a sharp blade with hidden edge.
It's just a pity.
Her father and elders, however, couldn't wait and wanted to marry her off to the lame Golden Kirin in exchange for immediate benefits.
Are you kidding me?
She refused to submit, even under pressure from her entire family, and still firmly chose Jingmin.
As it turns out, her judgment was better and more accurate than anyone else's.
Two years after their marriage, a year ago, Jing Min successfully ascended to the position of head of the Jin family.
To become the true successor in charge of global gold assets.
Looking back on the early days of her marriage, she faced constant disdain from her family, skepticism from the outside world, and ridicule from the media.
Her father repeatedly tried to interfere in her marriage, advising her to "come back to the right path."
But she didn't back down.
Instead of backing down, she gritted her teeth and persevered, fighting for resources for Jing Min, stabilizing the Mo family's position, and submitting a letter of support within the Jin family council.
Although she was well aware that Jing Min's current status was entirely due to his own efforts,
But she also knew that if she hadn't held onto the Mo family's reputation so firmly, those competitors with powerful maternal families might not have lost so easily.
Fortunately, she was determined enough to choose the right person.
The moment Jingmin reached the summit,
Her status rose accordingly, and she became the most respected mistress of the Jin family.
