I pulled my dad out of the hotel.

It was noon with the glaring sun.

Cars flashed by on the street.

The sound of people mingled with the sound of motor vehicles.

It felt like a world away.

In the past, due to the kindness of the Wen family, my feelings for Wen Zhixian were complicated, and my dad couldn't intervene at all.

Because the emotions I experienced were real.

At this moment, it seems like my dad still hasn't reacted yet.

After a while, he tightly held my hand in his palm and called out softly.

"Le'an."

He felt heartache for the grievances I had suffered before.

In the past, after marriage, Wen Zhixian and I became enemies.

The more he ignored me, the more I felt unwilling and coquettish in front of Grandpa Wen, asking him to support me.

My dad told me that I could dislike Wen Zhixian, I could try to love someone else.

I didn't listen at all, I just felt he was noisy.

I even resented him because his dereliction of duty allowed me to live under the protection of the Wen family.

I will never forget the person who saved me from the fire and water.

Seeing me so stubborn, like a different person, his hand trembled slightly.

"Le'an, let's not get married, okay? If this brat doesn't marry, no one else will. Dad can support you for a lifetime."

With tears in my eyes, I sighed softly.

"Dad, in this life, let's focus on making money and not talk about feelings."

My dad thought it was his fault as a father that led me to be entangled in love and hung from a tree.

But that's not the truth.

I just inherited his dedication.

Determined to stick with someone forever, stubborn and unreasonable.

Someone suddenly spoke from behind, interrupting this moment of warmth.

"Mr. Xie, is it done so soon?"

As soon as I heard the voice, my whole body froze.

Turning around, I saw Zhang Chengyang.

The summer wind blew gently, lifting Zhang Chengyang's hair.

His features were picturesque, his eyes deep and long, with a hint of a feminine quality.

Zhang Chengyang's pitch-black eyes looked through the lenses and focused on the hand my dad and I were holding.

Because of my terrible marriage in the past life, my dad was uninterested in work.

He brought in Zhang Chengyang to share the company's business.

He personally trained Zhang Chengyang, promoting him to the position of CTO and giving him authority.

He spent his time counseling me on my relationship issues, and secretly investigating where Wen Zhixian was and what he was up to.

Before I married Wen Zhixian, even my dad fancied Zhang Chengyang.

Saying he understood strategy, was ambitious, had a simple background, and was grateful.

He asked me to try and get to know him.

Unfortunately, this person my dad trusted so much turned out to be an ambitious traitor.

He was greedy and unscrupulous.

Colluding with competitors, leaking trade secrets, and sabotaging internal operations of the company.

When my dad discovered that the manipulator behind the scenes was Zhang Chengyang, he spat blood and fainted.

I handled my dad's affairs alone, feeling like a wandering ghost.

Meanwhile, Wen Zhixian was attending Lin Xingyi's party, tightly hugging a young woman despite the media's attention.

That night, I finally couldn't bear my own foolishness and the cruelty of the world and jumped from the 24th floor.

Waking up again, it was at the engagement banquet.

At this moment, I gripped my hand tightly so as not to rush up and fight him.

Zhang Chengyang noticed my strange gaze and slightly turned to meet my eyes.

His eyes behind the lenses were dark and profound, making it hard to discern.

I shuddered, not daring to reveal anything on my face.

Smiling, I greeted him.

"Brother Chengyang."
