Just as I was about to leave work, Ye Yuhe called as scheduled.
Compared to the gossip among her colleagues in the office, Ye Yuhe undoubtedly had more accurate information—after all, her father-in-law had a close relationship with Jing Min and immediately called to inquire about his well-being.
As soon as the call connected, Ye Yuhe spoke with a mix of mockery and regret:
"I have to say, this living devil is really lucky. He has done so many wicked things that people have been chasing him all the way abroad, yet he still managed to escape unscathed."
Chu Wuyang leaned against the car window, gazing at the night outside, and replied in a calm tone:
"You can't say that. The business world is like a battlefield, and deception is the norm. Who in this industry isn't like that? It's always been a dog-eat-dog world."
Ye Yuhe, however, was not buying it and retorted with dissatisfaction:
"You're defending him here, while he's over there having a good time with a female celebrity!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, she seemed to realize she had let something slip and quickly tried to cover it up—
"Oh dear! My father specifically told me not to say anything like that in front of you..."
"But never mind, didn't you force Yunyang to seduce Jingmin before anyway?"
"This is as you wished."
Ye Yuhe on the other end of the phone got more and more excited as she spoke, her voice tinged with sarcasm:
"I really didn't expect Yun Yang to be so shrewd, managing to win him over in such a short time."
"She was acting like the ex-girlfriend and the main wife before, making excuses and saying no, but it turns out she wanted more!"
"That's great, I'll definitely repay your life-saving grace with my body this time."
Chu Wuyang's eyes darkened slightly as he listened to her words.
Even Ye Yuhe knows about this... then the entire group's top management is probably well aware of it too, right?
It seems that Jing Min had no intention of hiding anything at all.
However, in the eyes of those business tycoons, it seems perfectly normal for a man to have several "female confidantes" outside the home.
I just don't know if the Chu family will turn a blind eye once they find out.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
No matter what the Chu family does, it won't affect her.
Moreover, Yun Yang sacrificed her life to incur Jing Min's emotional debt, leaving her with no standing in this drama.
Since everyone assumes that Jingmin and Yunyang will naturally get together, all she needs to do is play the role of the **"victim"** in this marriage and wait for the compensation to be paid.
It's nothing more than a game of interests.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Ye Yuhe thought that she was wavering and couldn't help but persuade her:
"Yangyang, let me tell you, there are plenty of men better than Jingmin!"
“If it weren’t for him, you would have married Brother Jinchu long ago,”
"You never loved Jingmin to begin with, so don't feel guilty. You did the right thing!"
"Forcing two people who don't love each other together will only cause them to suffer."
"so,"
She paused, her tone becoming lighter.
"How about we go to a bar and have a blast tonight? To celebrate you finally getting rid of this awful relationship!"
Chu Wuyang chuckled softly, neither confirming nor denying.
Ye Yuhe continued to urge:
"Besides, Jingmin is almost thirty, it's time he met some new younger brothers!"
"Are you coming or not? I'll drive over and pick you up!"
Hearing her say that, Chu Wuyang softened a bit.
Does this count as a pre-event celebration like "popping champagne" halfway through the game?
After a moment, she agreed.
——
At night, neon lights flash, and the hustle and bustle of the city is enveloped in an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence.
Chu Wuyang and Ye Yuhe disguised themselves with heavy makeup to cover their true faces, and with the dim lighting in the bar, they didn't have to worry about being recognized by reporters.
The two successfully entered the inner area.
As soon as the door was pushed open,
The deafening electronic music immediately hits you, and the dance floor is filled with people moving about, creating an atmosphere so intense that it makes you want to let loose.
Ye Yuhe ordered a few drinks, casually handed one to Chu Wuyang, and smiled slyly:
"How about it? Go all out tonight, and if you get drunk, I'll take you home."
Chu Wuyang took the wine glass, took a sip, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Does my brother know how much fun you're having?
Ye Yuhe looked around and said in an unnatural tone
"It's better not to tell him!"
The two were strikingly good-looking and had an impressive presence, making them stand out in the bar.
Before long, some people mustered up the courage to approach and chat with her, but unfortunately, they were all easily driven away by Ye Yuhe with the words "too ugly".
Under the dim light not far away,
A long, slender hand with distinct knuckles gently swirled the wine glass, the amber liquid inside swaying slightly with the movement, reflecting the playful smile on the man's lips.
His gaze remained fixed on Chu Wuyang and Ye Yuhe, watching as one after another of the "warriors" who stepped forward were ruthlessly dismissed. He chuckled softly and murmured:
"interesting……"
He picked up his wine glass and swayed as he walked toward the two of them.
Half-drunk and half-awake, Chu Wuyang's hazy gaze fell on the man who had suddenly appeared.
The first thing I noticed was his long, slender, fair hand resting on the wine glass.
However, there was a noticeable scar on the back of his hand, as if he had been burned.
Her mind was foggy, and some memories seemed to be vaguely surfacing in her head.
At that moment, the man leaned closer, as if to steal a kiss.
Ye Yuhe reacted the fastest, immediately frowning and scolding:
"Get out of here, you ugly monster!"
The man chuckled twice, slowly removing his sunglasses to reveal a sharp yet alluringly handsome face.
