Chapter 178 Your sister-in-law and I even got divorced because of these things, who am I supposed to hold responsible?
Zhong Yan looked up. "What kind of suicidal talk are you spouting?"
"If you want her to get a divorce, figure it out yourself. It's none of my business."
Zhong Yi's face flushed red with anger: "Isn't it because of you and my sister-in-law that Yuan Yin and I were discovered?"
"If you hadn't argued and made your sister-in-law angry, she wouldn't have targeted Dingkun, and Yuanyin wouldn't have gotten into trouble!"
Zhong Yan said coldly, "You dare to shed a tear for me?"
Zhong Yi was startled and quickly wiped his eyes.
“You’re all cold-blooded people,” Zhong Yi said with a sneer.
“Your sister Yuanyin is not innocent.” Zhong Yan only said one sentence.
"She is both a puppet and a beneficiary of capital. Otherwise, how would she get so many resources and awards? No one forced her to do so."
“When she agreed, she was already prepared for the worst, and she had already prepared her escape route. Zhong Yi, she didn’t consider you.”
Those who can establish themselves in the entertainment industry for many years are not fools; if they were too foolish, they would have disappeared long ago.
Zhong Yi: "Of course I know, but that doesn't conflict with my liking for her."
Zhong Yan was a little annoyed. "Of course I'm stopping you from liking it? If you want to take it, go ahead and do it. Why do you want me to help you figure it out?"
Zhong Yi: "Didn't I say? You and your sister-in-law caused this, so you two have to take responsibility."
Zhong Yan scoffed, "Your sister-in-law and I even got divorced because of these things, who am I supposed to hold responsible?"
Zhong Yi was shocked. "You two are divorced?"
Zhong Yan was surprised that this idiot actually didn't know, and slapped him on the back of the head: "Are you a member of the Zhong family?"
Zhong Yi scratched his head, looking somewhat aggrieved: "No, it's just that Dad often scolds me for not being as smart as you and my older brother."
Zhong Yan looked at him and said, "Don't do anything immoral."
Zhong Yi was unconvinced, his eyes clear and innocent for his age, seemingly not very calculating: "If the person you love gets married, you'll understand me."
Zhong Yan thought about it and realized that if Ji Tanyuan got married, but not to him, he might actually shoot that man dead.
"Alright, but you have to do it yourself. I'll help you figure out what to do. Then you can tell Miss Yuan Yin, 'You're the wife my brother snatched away for me?'"
"Besides, what will people think of me if I go and steal a married woman?"
Zhong Yi was a little anxious: "What do you mean by 'robbery'? It was just to save her from dire straits. Besides, who would blatantly rob someone?"
Zhong Yan: "So the two of us climb the wall? Wasn't the person I ordered human?"
"You really think they're dogs?"
Zhong Yan: "With your brain like that, you still have the nerve to like someone? How do you get the ability to shield her from your parents' troubles?"
"Even I couldn't stop your brother, so you certainly can't."
Zhong Yi lowered his head and silently said, "I can sever ties."
Zhong Yan kicked him, his face ashen, a chillingly violent aura emanating from him: "Swallow those words back."
"If you're so capable, then show me some real skills. Who are you threatening by cutting ties?"
He straightened up, looked down at him, and said in a cold voice, "She's not dying. You've truly lost her if you lose your only support. Do you think Yuan Yin would even look at a piece of trash like you?"
"Even if she likes you, she likes you as a naive young master driving a luxury car, not as someone who lives in a rented apartment and is penniless, understand?"
Zhong Yi looked up, his eyes red: "Because you don't dare, you think I don't dare either. You need to rely on the Zhong family to succeed, so even if you divorce because of your uncle and the others, you don't dare to break ties with them. You think I'm cowardly just because you're cowardly?"
Zhong Yan pointed at him and said, "Get out."
Zhong Yi stood up, his slightly curly hair and red-rimmed eyes making him look like a teenager.
He snorted coldly: "I will show you with my actions that I will succeed. Sister Yuanyin doesn't just like my money."
After Zhong Yi left, Zhong Yan was unable to calm down for a long time. He drank a glass of water and followed him out.
He said to Chu He at the door, "Send someone to follow Zhong Yi."
Chuhe nodded.
Just as he took out his phone, Zhong Yan stopped him again: "Forget it, no need to follow them anymore. They deserved to die."
With that, she turned and left, saying, "Tell Gu Beiming I'm leaving now."
Chu He watched Zhong Yan walk away with one hand in his pocket, unsure whether he should call someone to keep an eye on the second young master.
But then he remembered that his duty was to obey orders, so he put the phone away.

When Ji Tanyuan woke up after catching up on her sleep, it was already 5 p.m.
She went out to the living room and found that the nannies hadn't returned to work, so she had to go downstairs to the pet daycare to pick up her puppy herself.
Ji Tanyuan was dressed in a simple light blue tracksuit, her hair was tied up, and she looked fresh and clean.
However, the dog she was holding wasn't exactly "peaceful and serene," it was too lively.
It was under these circumstances that Ji Tanyuan and Shen Xiling met.
The other person was dressed in a clean and refreshing style, looking as lively and cheerful as a college student.
His resolute features softened considerably after seeing Ji Tanyuan.
"Huanghuang. Long time no see."
Ji Tanyuan smiled and said, "It's been a long time. When did you come back?"
Shen Xiling pursed her lips. "Three days ago, I came back to handle some matters, as well as to cooperate with the two committees in their inquiries about my uncle as a family member."
Ji Tanyuan was stunned. She did not expect the other party to answer like that. Shen Xiling's uncle was Shen Qinglin, who was also Shen Xichen's father.
Shen Xiling glanced at her, noticing her confusion, and asked, "You don't know?"
Ji Tanyuan frowned: "Should I know?"
Shen Xiling laughed and said, "It's not too late to know now."
"Shall we sit together?"
Ji Tanyuan glanced at Puppy and politely declined, "Let's do it another day. I still have to go upstairs to feed Puppy dog food."
Shen Xiling looked at Ji Tanyuan and then at the dog struggling to run towards the lawn, pulling on its leash. What a warm and beautiful reunion.
Unfortunately, times have changed, and everything has gone wrong and changed.
"Is it because of the Shen family or the Zhong family? Even if I don't have much of a relationship with the Shen family now, do you still have to be so strict about avoiding suspicion?"
Ji Tanyuan: "I think so."
As she walked past the dog, Shen Xiling, her voice choked with urgency and suppressed emotion, asked, "Did you never consider me at all from the beginning?"
Ji Tanyuan: "No, I only considered you a friend. It's a pity."
Once the truth is revealed, we can no longer be friends.
Ji Tanyuan went upstairs and entered the house, and Puppy excitedly ran inside and headed for the balcony.
Ji Tanyuan followed him inside and discovered that Zhong Yan had returned.
The man, cigarette between his fingers, turned to look at her and asked, seemingly very casually:
"Did you run into Shen Xiling?"
"Um."
"Are you very moved by his decision to break with his family and return to Shanghai to start from the bottom for you?"
Ji Tanyuan frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Zhong Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her sharply, making her look downstairs: "You see? He's still standing there looking lost."
