The boss is chasing after the chaebol’s ex-wife, but you can’t afford it

In an instant, Tang Qiaoer burst into tears, and hot tears filled with joy rolled down her cheeks.

She knew it...she knew it!

The first time she saw Li Huan, she knew he was the fifth brother!

Even if he was cold and indifferent and kept her at a distance, that familiar and friendly feeling would never be wrong!

"Young Madam...what's wrong with you?" Aunt Wu hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears in a panic.

Tang Qiaoer calmed down her excitement and said in a low and deep voice:

"Seventh Brother, who else did you tell about this?"

Tang Feng has been handling cases for many years and is a very calm person. "This matter is very serious. I only told you and haven't told my father and mother yet."

"Well done. For now, this matter is between you and me. You must not tell Dad and Aunt Min."

Tang Qiaoer's eyes were like torches, and her heart was tightening. "I'm afraid of alerting the enemy. I'm even more afraid that the person who is controlling Fifth Brother behind the scenes... will do something bad to him because Fifth Brother's identity is exposed!"

Tang Feng said in a very serious tone, "Qiaoqiao, don't worry, I have thought of this as well. So when I go back, I will hide it from my mother first and calm her down. Otherwise, with her temper, she will definitely dig deep and search for the whereabouts of the fifth brother across the country. It is impossible to predict what kind of trouble will arise at that time!"

Then, he was extremely confused and asked anxiously, "Since Fifth Brother is not dead... then who rescued him after he fell into the sea? What on earth did he go through? Why did he become like that?!"

"Fifth brother, I'm afraid he has completely lost his memory. He doesn't remember us at all."

Tang Qiaoer's mind flashed to the hideous scar on Fifth Brother's body, and her heart was in intense pain. "I've seen Fifth Brother's wounds. He relied on himself. If no one treated him, he would never have survived. Someone must have treated him and helped him heal his wounds, and then..."

"And then, he became such a cold-blooded and heartless person? I fought with Fifth Brother, and he simply became a killing machine!"

Tang Feng's voice trembled with endurance, and he was extremely heartbroken. "Who on earth made Fifth Brother like this?!"

Lin Su and Wu Ma looked at Tang Qiaoer worriedly.

Tang Qiaoer leaned back tiredly, closed her eyes, and tried to clear her mind.

Every time the fifth brother appeared, it was part of Xie Jinhuan's conspiracy.

But now, Xie Jinhuan is dead. He still appears again and again to obstruct her, which can only mean one thing -

The person who controls Xie Jinhuan behind the scenes is also controlling him.

It was that "Mr." who made him like this!

"Could it be... medicine?" Tang Qiaoer opened her eyes and muttered to herself.

Tang Feng asked anxiously: "Qiaoqiao, what did you say? What medicine?"

"I was shocked to find that I took the medicine given by that gentleman at Xie Jinhuan's place and became the emotionless machine I am now. I look... somewhat similar to Fifth Brother's state.

Could it be that... Fifth Brother also took this medicine and became like this?"

Tang Feng: "What kind of medicine is that?!"

"Brother Suifeng said before that this drug damages the brain nerves and it is irreversible."

"So what if we find Brother Five? He's been controlled and brainwashed! Will he still be willing to go home with us?!"

go home……

Tang Qiaoer felt sad and took a deep breath, "Seventh Brother, don't worry, no matter what the cost, I will wake up Fifth Brother and bring him home!"

Ever since that day when Shen Jingjue suddenly fainted in the hospital, his mental state has been depressed for three consecutive days.

During the day, during the group's regular meeting, he was distracted and even drowsy in public.

He turned down all the business receptions and social events that evening and returned to Guanchao Manor accompanied by Han Xian.

Han Xian followed closely, looking worried, "Boss Shen, you've been in a bad mental state these past few days, do you want to see a doctor?"

"Who are you looking for?"

Shen Jingjue felt his body sluggish, his head swollen, and a little cold. He felt extremely uncomfortable. "Doctor Liu disappeared. Who else can solve my problem?"

Han Xian sighed, worrying about his father, "What if you delay like this and your condition gets worse? After today's meeting, the senior executives talked about you behind your back, saying all kinds of things. If the rumors get out..."

"I'm not sick."

Shen Jingjue gasped in a muffled breath, clenched his teeth, and endured the discomfort, "My body, I know it best."

Han Xian hung his head in frustration.

Mr. Shen now refused to listen to any advice. He was even more stubborn and difficult to get along with than at the beginning.

In the living room——

Shen Jingzhe and Shen Guangjing were sitting on the sofa. The father and son were drinking tea and chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Jingjue, you're back." Shen Jingzhe smiled and nodded at the man.

"Dad, big brother." Shen Jingjue's expression was indifferent, and his eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

He was a man who had attended military school and had suffered many injuries, big and small, over the years, but he had always been able to hold on and had never been so depressed.

Shen Jingzhe frowned slightly, "Jingjue, are you feeling unwell? You look very bad."

Shen Jingjue immediately replied: "It's okay."

Just then, Mu Xueruo, wearing a white business suit, walked over gracefully, carrying a plate of carefully arranged and cut fruits.

Inadvertently, Shen Jingjue's eyes met hers.

Mu Xue smiled softly and raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, looking very feminine.

However, Shen Jingjue just turned his eyes away coldly, completely unmoved.

Mu Xueruo's smile froze and she felt very annoyed.

She thought that since she saved him last time, their relationship would be closer. But unexpectedly, it remained the same.

But the gentleman said that nothing should be rushed.

Especially for a blockhead like Shen Jingjue who doesn't blossom in a thousand years, one can only proceed step by step and persuade him patiently.

"Jing Jue, child, if you have any health problems, you must seek medical treatment in time. You must not think it is troublesome and delay the treatment."

Shen Guangjing's expression showed the sternness of a loving father, "You are the president of Shen's Corporation. If you make a mistake, Shen's Corporation will be in turmoil. You must always keep this in mind.

Fortunately, my son finally came to his senses and stopped being bewitched by that girl from the Tang family and condescending to work for her. All of Shen Guangjing's sons are gifted children, but it's ridiculous to let that little girl from the Tang family manipulate them! How can you save your dignity?!"

"Dad, if it's okay, I'll go upstairs." After hearing this, Shen Jingjue frowned anxiously and turned to leave.

"Second Young Master."

Mu Xuerou suddenly stopped him and asked seriously, "Have you been feeling dizzy and weak recently? Sometimes, you even feel cold all over?"
