Mr. Bo, my wife is going on a date with someone again.

"Mr. Mu was taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission this morning. It was said that his wife and the Zhou family did it together."

The Gu family has never done anything illegal, and they have not had any large-scale economic dealings or cooperation with the Mu family in the past decade. However, the two families are deeply involved. If there is really something wrong with Mu's father, it will be difficult for him to distance himself from it for a while.

Gu Chenye rested his hand on his cheek: "Where's the wife?"

"Madam..." Xie Fangze felt a little bit reluctant: "Madam has gone abroad on a long-term visa."

Even though the surroundings were filled with noisy questioning from reporters, this sentence still reached Gu Chenye's ears clearly.

"..." The man was silent for a moment before a light mocking sound escaped from his throat.

He didn't know that Yan Ji had done so many things behind his back. Either the Mu family or public opinion could temporarily hold him back.

Each and every one of these things really took a lot of effort.

The funny thing is that when he heard Yan Ji's words last night that she no longer blamed him, he was secretly happy and thought that he could start over. However, he didn't expect that it was just a show she put on to set up a trap for him.

……

Yan Ji's flight was in the morning, but due to the time difference, when he got off the plane, it was also morning there. The orange morning sun shone through the clouds and sprinkled all over the ground.

She stood at the airport exit and sent a message to Sheng Rugu while waiting for the bus to report her safety: "I'm here."

Sheng Rugu seemed to be holding the phone waiting for her message, and replied quickly: "Gu Chenye came to the store to look for you, his face was as dark as the bottom of the pot that my grandma has been cooking for sixty years. Didn't you tell him that you were going to study abroad?"

At the last fashion show, in addition to business elites, there was also a world-renowned dress designer. When she heard that he was in China, she decided to give it a try and sent the invitation to her assistant through her connections. Unexpectedly, he actually came, and Yan Ji got the opportunity to study abroad.

"And that bastard had the nerve to be so rude. He cheated on you right after you left the country, and was even trapped in the hotel bed by reporters."

She dared to say that because she knew Yan Ji didn't like Gu Chenye, but she couldn't hide her indignation for her good friend in her words.

A black car stopped in front of Yan Ji. She glanced at the license plate and said, "Hang up first. The car is here. I'll call you when I find a place to stay."

Sheng Rugu: "Wait a minute, if Gu Chenye comes again, should you tell him your whereabouts? I always feel that man will not give up until he can find you."

Yan Ji said calmly: "No need to keep it secret."

In this information age, if Gu Chenye really wanted to investigate her, he would be able to find out even if Sheng Rugu refused to give in. There was no need to drag her into it.

"Bye."

"..." Sheng Rugu's lips moved, and the words 'Do you plan to return to Kyoto after completing your studies?' were swallowed back at the tip of his throat: "Okay, call me when you're settled."

Yan Ji looked at the scenery outside the window, which was completely different from the scenery in the country. Her heart was calm. She no longer felt the panic and excitement she had when she first arrived in a strange place. It seemed that her ability to control her emotions had been worn away by countless trials and tribulations.

The phone rang.

She frowned and stared at the caller ID for a few seconds before clicking the connect button: "Hello."

As he hasn’t settled down here yet, Yan Ji hasn’t changed his phone number for the time being and has only activated international roaming.

"Are we there?" Gu Chenye's voice was very calm, as if he didn't care at all about Yan Ji's plot against him last night.

"Ah."

"When are you coming back?"

"Gu Chenye, let's get a divorce."

The man responded to her with a five-minute silence: "Okay, when you come back, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the formalities."

"Now divorces can be decided online in court."

Hearing her nonchalant tone, Gu Chenye finally couldn't hold back and gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Yunyao's father was taken away for investigation, and the dinner party last night, was it something you had planned long ago?"

"Yes."

Yan Ji admitted it straightforwardly without any intention of hiding it. On the contrary, Gu Chenye was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.

In the silence, only the rustling of electricity was heard.

"You're so generous, Yan Ji, for sending your husband to another woman. You don't mind if I really slept with her?"

Yan Ji took down his phone and checked the call time: "Anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

Even though he already knew the answer, at this moment, her acquiescence still made Gu Chenye's heart sink. He gritted his teeth and sneered: "Are you so sure that your methods can definitely bring down the Mu family?"

"I have checked all the interpersonal relationships of the Mu family. As long as you don't interfere, they will have no chance of turning things around."

She was not confident in her own methods, but believed that the Zhou family would not leave any hidden dangers for her. After this competition, the two families completely broke off relations.

"..." Gu Chenye laughed in anger: "Should I praise you for being awesome, or should I say you are scheming?"

She really played the words "calculating" and "strategizing step by step" very clearly. Everyone is just a chess piece in her hand, which can be thrown away like garbage after use.

Yan Ji: "As you wish."

There is a kind of rogue feeling of being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"..."

Gu Chenye hung up the phone angrily, exhaled a long breath into the void, and inexplicably felt that the surroundings were empty.

Normally at this time, Yan Ji was the only one in the villa, and he didn't feel empty at all. But now, there was just one person missing, but it seemed as if everything he did had an echo.

He couldn't stand it any longer, so he called Bo Jingzhou.

"Come out and sit down."

"Where's Yan Ji?"

Gu Chenye told him a few days ago that he and Yan Ji wanted to improve their relationship, so he shouldn't make appointments with him during this period.

"……Ran."

"Oh."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Surprised," Bo Jingzhou replied calmly, "Surprised that she ran away now."

"..."

"Just for this matter, you have to set up a table for Mu Yunyao. If it weren't for her, Yan Ji's second-married child would be able to help out now. He might even call you Uncle Gu and ask you for a red envelope during the New Year."

He had used Shen Wanci's matter to irritate him before, and now that he had found the chance, he had to take revenge severely.

Gu Chenye: "Get lost."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Bo Jingzhou sent him a location, which was a coffee shop downstairs from Bo's building, with similar specifications to Starbucks.

Maybe it was because of the excellent location, with dozens of buildings around, so the business was surprisingly good at this late hour. He spotted Bo Jingzhou among a bunch of exhausted faces: "Drinking coffee so late at night, don't drag me along if you want to die suddenly."

"This is the only place around here that's still open," Bo Jingzhou said as he looked outside the door, then raised his chin, motioning him to turn around: "Also, I'm afraid you can't even drink here, find yours."
