    “Otherwise, are you going to fight it out with me?” Song Chuyi said carelessly, “Xin Ziao, you couldn’t defeat me in high school, so are you sure you still want to fight it out with me?”


    “Sure, that’s perfect. I want to see how you, Song Chuyi, have changed.” Xin Ziao loosened his tie and threw it onto the ground, grabbing Song Chuyi’s cor with his hand.


    “Xin Ziao, what are you doing?” Ruan Yang’s sharp voice suddenly rang through the carpark.


    After Song Chuyi left, she changed and came out. Who knew that she would be greeted with this scene the moment she reached the carpark?


    She was wearing a denim skirt and t-shirt and was tightly covered up by a face mask and cap. They only revealed a pair of shocked eyes watching this scene.


    “Ruan Yang...” Xin Ziao’s grave and stern face sank. “You came at the right time. I just wanted to ask you—when you initiated the breakup with me, it was because of him, right? No wonder. We’ve been together for so long, and you didn’t even allow me to enter your house, but how many times has he been here?”


    “You’re sick.” Ruan Yang walked over quickly and pulled his hand away.


    Xin Ziao flipped his hand over and pulled her to his side, looking down at her with his deep, dark eyes and said, “Which stage are the two of you at? Have you two gone to bed?”


    “You have problems.” Ruan Yang stepped ruthlessly on his leather shoes with her heels.


    Xin Ziao cried out in pain and loosened his grip. Ruan Yang took the chance to escape and hid behind Song Chuyi. “Xin Ziao, I broke up with you and this has nothing to do with Song Chuyi. He’s my friend’s husband.”


    “What?” Xin Ziao was so shocked by this news that he forgot about the pain, pointing at Song Chuyi and said, “You’re married. Then Yun...”


    He had yet to finish when Song Chuyi came up and pulled Xin Ziao to the side, warning him softly, “Don’t spout nonsense.”


    Xin Ziao scolded him softly. “You’re actually married, so what about Yunyang?”


    “It’s impossible between the two of us,” Song Chuyi said expressionlessly, “Xin Ziao, Ruan Yang is my wife’s good friend. I advise you to stop having any ideas about her. You already have a fiance. Also, that Zhao Zhu got someone to harm my wife on the production team and I have yet to settle scores with you.”


    “Yan Changqing is your wife?” Xin Ziao finally understood.


    “You knew about it.” Song Chuyiughed coldly.


    Xin Ziao didn’t deny it either and said with bewilderment, “Why Yan Changqing? Her body is quite good, but I remember that you never used to be so superficial.”


    “Better than you.” Song Chuyi’s face was full of mockery. “Isn’t your fiance a little too ruthless, disfiguring someone straight away? I advise you to stay far away from Ruan Yang and don’t cause her any harm. To Changqing, it was just lead and mercury, but to Ruan Yang, your fiance might just ssh her with sulfuric acid.”


    Xin Ziao’s face changed.


    Song Chuyi frowned. “The videos from the surveince cameras are in your hands, right? If you want to cover up for Zhao Zhu, that’s okay, but I won’t let things go just like that.”


    “What do you want?” Xin Ziao pondered for a while and said, “The videos are with me and I can hand them over to you, so let’s make a deal.”


    Song Chuyi was shocked.


    Xin Ziao nced at Ruan Yang. “If Zhao Zhu gets into trouble, they can’t trace this matter to me. The videos and everything was all done by you.”


    “Tossing someone else the dirty work—you’re still the same as before.” Song Chuyi understood what was going on. He was long unsatisfied with Zhao Zhu, this fiance.


    “I didn’t want this fiance in the first ce; my mother agreed to all this,” Xin Ziao said. “Wash your hands off the matters between me and Ruan Yang and stoping to her house. A lone man and woman—what does that look like?”


    Song Chuyi pondered for a while and said, “I’m not sure about matters between the two of you and I won’t bother myself with it, but I hope you don’t tell Ruan Yang about my past. I don’t want issues to arise in my married life.”


    “Sure, I’ll get someone to send the videos to you after this.” Xin Ziao smiled with satisfaction. “Let’s have a gathering when we have time some other day.”


    “There’s nothing much between us that calls for a gathering. I’ll make my move first.” Song Chuyi walked over to Ruan Yang. “He’s already agreed to hand the videos to me. You two have a chat. I’m going back to the hospital.”


    When he drove away from the carpark, he saw the two of them pulling and tugging around aggressively and he sighed softly.


    In the bedroom.


    Changqing, who was still sleeping soundly, heard a knocking sound from outside. “Changqing, there’s a woman with the surname Shen who’s here to visit you. She says she’s an old acquaintance of CEO Yan.”


    Changqing rubbed her eyes and sat up. The soft and smooth silk nket slipped down from her body. She lost her spirit for a while and her heart suddenly moved slightly. “Auntie Zhang, tell her to wait for a while. I’ming down right away.”


    She put on her home clothes while flustered and went downstairs. Shen Lu was sitting in the living room with a teacup in her hands but her gaze fell on the family portrait on the wall.


    “Auntie Shen, why are you here?” Changqing said quickly, “Are you all better?”


    “Much better. I have no probleming out and walking around.” Shen Lu turned her head around and when she saw Changqing’s face, she said with extra heartache, “I heard from Fu Yu that something happened to your face. Why’s it so serious?”


    “It’s better today.” Changqing still wasn’t ustomed to having someone stare at her like that and lowered her head awkwardly. “The doctor said it would take a while to recover.”


    “What on earth happened?” Shen Lu asked with concern.


    “... I’m not sure either.” After all, it concerned some private matters in the entertainment industry and Changqing didn’t dare to shoot her mouth off without proper evidence, especially because Zhao Zhu was from Fu Yu’spany. She had better be careful.


    “It must’ve been some problem with your body; all you need is some recuperation,” Shen Lu said with a sigh, “Perhaps you were heaty from summer.”


    “Yeah.”


    “I will tell Fu Yu. Don’t worry about the matters with the production team. Anyway, with Auntie around, your role definitely won’t be removed,” Shen Lu said as she held her hand.


    Changqing nodded.


    When Shen Lu came, it was almost 4 pm. Changqing chatted with her for a while until 5:30 pm and Yan Lei happened to return. When he saw Shen Lu, he was stupefied for a while.


    Shen Lu also looked at himplicatedly and smiled slightly. “It’s been a while. I heard something happened to Changqing’s face today, so I came specifically to check on her. I hope I didn’t bother you.”


    “No, no, no.” Yan Lei waved his hands quickly. “It’s gettingte—stay for dinner.”


    “That... would it be a bother?” Shen Lu said politely.


    “How’s that a bother? We’re all so familiar with each other.” Yan Lei quickly called Auntie Zhang to cook a few more dishes and after instructing her, he thought it wasn’t enough and personally went to the kitchen to rummage through the refrigerator, taking out all the good food so that Auntie Zhang could cook it.


    Changqing felt deeply moved to see that. It had been so many years since she saw Yan Lei so uptight over a guest.


    Yan Lei was also a sentimental person. He might not normally say it explicitly, but he still held onto Auntie Shen in his heart.


    At 6 o’clock, Shen Lu received a call from Fu Yu. “I’m at your Uncle Yan’s house... eating at his house... you... have no dinner meeting tonight? I thought you would be having dinner outside...”


    Yan Lei said, “Has Fu Yu not eaten? Why don’t you get him toe over to have dinner with us?”


    Shen Lu looked a little uneasy. “Is that okay?”


    “No problem.” Yan Lei smiled gently.


    After telling Fu Yu, Shen Lu told Changqing and Yan Lei, “Fu Yu said he would get here in about 40 minutes. His office isn’t very far from here.”


    Chuchu nodded and felt a little uneasy. If Song Chuchu knew Fu Yu wasing over, would he be angry?


    At that moment, Yan Lei suddenly said, “If only Chuyi was around tonight. I heard he was the doctor in charge of your surgery. He’s met Fu Yu before and maybe we could even have a drink or two. What a pity he’s on the night shift today.”


    Shen Lu was in a daze and felt inexplicably awkward.


    Yan Lei continued saying gently, “Chuyi is my son-inw. I’m quite relieved now that both my daughters are married and my two sons-inw are very nice to them, especially Changqing. I’m always worried about her, but who knew that she would be so lucky?”


    “Really?” Shen Lu forced out a smile. “Then you are quite lucky.”


    Yan Lei turned over and said to Changqing, “Go upstairs and pick a fine bottle of red wine for me. I’m going to have a good drink with Fu Yu. Remember to aerate the wine.”


    “Oh, okay.” Changqing felt that Yan Lei was trying to send her away and quickly went upstairs to the study, where the wines were kept.


    Yan Changqing watched as her back disappeared upstairs before he sighed softly. “Shen Lu, actually, I clearly understand why you’re here. Back then, you chose to leave also because Fu Yu liked Changqing, right? Are you here today because of the two of them?”


    Shen Luughed bitterly. “You’re still so clever; I can’t hide anything from you. I know Changqing is married and it might be wrong for me to do this, but to Changqing, Fu Yu...”


    She sighed softly. “Actually, I’m quite fond of Changqing too. I really hope I can have a daughter-inw like her.”


    “If Changqing got married into the Fu family, I would feel very assured especially with you around, but Changqing is already married,” Yan Lei said with a heavy heart, “We’re people who were once married with a family. No matter how it was between Fu Yu and Changqing in the past or the amount of regret because they didn’t get together, Changqing is now living happily. A father will never break his daughter’s marriage, or I should say, even if I wasn’t a father, I would never destroy a marriage either. It’s up to the two of them to walk into marriage. Whether they want to carry on or not carry on, it’s not up to us outsiders to intervene forcefully.”


    Shen Lu felt deeply remorseful as she listened. However, Yan Lei had always been very reasonable with what he said and did. She also knew that this was the reason she fell in love with him back then.


    “I’m sorry,” she said with her eyes lowered, “Perhaps I shouldn’t havee today...”


    “No, I’m very happy that you’re here and I wee you toe often,” Yan Lei said softly, “Only, it would be better for everyone to talk certain things out. I know you’re not an unreasonable person.”


    “I’ll go back and try to persuade Fu Yu...” She sighed. It seemed Changqing would never be her daughter-inw.


    Changqing walked down with the red wine in a carafe. The atmosphere in the living room seemed a little strange. She nced at Auntie Shen, who was blushing slightly, then took a look at Yan Lei who was all smiles.


    She blinked. It seemed that after so many years had passed, the two of them still had something going on.


    It was almost seven when Fu Yu arrived at the Yan Family’s ce.


    There were chatting andughter in the living room and that made him palpitate for a while. It seemed that he hadn’t been to a ce with such familial warmth for a long time in recent memory.
