The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Yeah, yeah, the surname Ye is really a good one, hehe, the same surname as Brother Yuan, Ye Ruoxi...

Just thinking of that tall, handsome figure in her heart made Xiao Ruoxi feel her heart melt.

Looking at Xiao Ruoxi's upturned lips, Zhao Jinyan felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

This bastard must be here to laugh at me!

boom!

Zhao Jinyan slammed his hand on the coffee table, stood up abruptly, and prepared to leave this place that had humiliated him so much.

Before he even reached the door, Xiao Ruoxi's bodyguards were already standing there, speaking to him in an icy tone. The menacing aura emanating from them sent a chill down his spine.

"Mr. Zhao, please go back and sit down. Miss Zhao hasn't told you to leave yet, so you can't leave."

Damn it, I almost forgot, the Xiao family went from being criminal to legitimate. Other powerful and wealthy people might target someone on the verge of death to commit murder, but the Xiao family...

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinyan couldn't help but look at the two bodyguards with fear, terrified that they might suddenly attack and kill him at any moment.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Jinyan sat back down with a humiliated expression, staring intently at Xiao Ruoxi's face, which was no less beautiful than Su Shiyu's, and remained silent.

Xiao Ruoxi ignored what had just happened, took a leisurely sip of her coffee, frowned, and then put down her coffee before speaking.

"Mr. Zhao, believe me, I'm here to help you win back Su Shiyu's heart."

What is that?

Help me win back Shiyu's heart?

Is this guy surnamed Xiao out of his mind?

Zhao Jinyan almost spat out the coffee he had just drunk, looking at Xiao Ruoxi as if she were crazy.

"I know Mr. Zhao thinks I'm joking, but I can tell you that I have my own goals in helping you win back Su Shiyu's heart. I'm not afraid to tell you, I've liked Brother Yuan since I was a child. If Su Shiyu hadn't confessed to Brother Yuan before me, it would have been me, Xiao Ruoxi, who was with Brother Yuan back then, not Su Shiyu!"

"Now that Brother Yuan is back, I want to be with him. But Su Shiyu has the upper hand because of her past relationship with Brother Yuan, which is something I can't match. However, her marriage is her biggest disadvantage, so I want to amplify her disadvantage to the maximum, and even turn it into my advantage."

"So Mr. Zhao, our ultimate goals are different, but our phased goals are the same, which is to prevent Yuan Ge and Su Shiyu from being together. So shouldn't we become comrades-in-arms?"

Xiao Ruoxi continued to speak slowly and deliberately, her expression calm, but when she mentioned Ye Linyuan, her eyes became incredibly intense, making Zhao Jinyan feel as if she were being burned.

But more than that, he felt a sense of unease.

What is it about Ye Linyuan that makes so many women like him? The stunning twins at the airport last time, the famous little princess of the Xiao family in Haicheng in front of me, even his own wife, a married woman, is so infatuated with him that she is willing to divorce him!

Why should I?!

Although he was inwardly furious, winning back his wife's heart was the most important thing for Zhao Jinyan, so he couldn't help but ask Xiao Ruoxi.

"So, Miss Xiao, how do you plan to help me win back Shiyu's heart? I believe you also know that Shiyu and I got married three years ago. There were various factors involved, and we even signed a prenuptial agreement stating that we were only husband and wife in name and that we would divorce after three years."

Huh? They're just a nominal couple? A fake marriage?

Who knew Su Shiyu would pull this stunt? It seems Zhao Jinyan's importance to the Su family needs to be adjusted further.

Xiao Ruoxi had basically given up hope on Zhao Jinyan, and her gaze towards him was filled with disdain.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to give it a try. After all, it was just a casual move anyway. If it worked out, it would be a pleasant surprise. Even if it didn't, it would just be a waste of time and money.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoxi withdrew the disdain in her eyes and asked in a more indifferent tone than before.

"Could you tell me the contents of your prenuptial agreement?"

"Okay, basically it means that Shiyu and I are only married in name. After the marriage, we will live separately. She will live on the second floor and I will live on the first floor. We will not interfere with each other."

"Our marriage will last for three years, after which we will divorce. I will receive a reward of 30 million after the divorce. My job is to accompany Shiyu back to the Su family's old house for banquets during these three years and help her fend off unwanted suitors. That's about it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoxi nodded, her slender white fingers gently tapping the coffee table, making a "tap tap tap" sound.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ruoxi looked at Zhao Jinyan again and asked.

"So, in the past three years, have you and Su Shiyu been completely separate, without any contact whatsoever?"

If the two of them really have no connection whatsoever, then she is prepared to get up and leave immediately, no longer wasting any more time here!

Su Shiyu is not a kind-hearted person. She wouldn't even flinch if someone she has no relationship with or a bad relationship with died in front of her!

Just like how she has thoroughly purged the Su family over the past three years, eliminating those members of the Su family who were at odds with her!

Perhaps sensing Xiao Ruoxi's disappointment, Zhao Jinyan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's not that there's none at all..."

Xiao Ruoxi's eyes visibly brightened, signaling Zhao Jinyan to continue.

"Actually, in my grandfather's generation, our Zhao family and the Su family had a good relationship. My grandfather even owed Grandpa Su a favor, so the two families had a marriage agreement. However, the Su family became more and more powerful, while our family became more and more declining. So, our family has never thought of using a favor to form a marriage alliance with the Su family."

"But three years ago, my grandfather passed away, and my father's lack of ability led to the company's shareholders withdrawing their investment, cutting off the company's funding. In order to save the company, our Zhao family had no choice but to swallow our pride and propose a marriage to the Su family."

"When we got married, Shiyu told me that our family was on the verge of bankruptcy. She said she could not only give us money to help us through the crisis, but also provide resources to help our family's company develop, provided that we signed a prenuptial agreement."

"As for the contents of the agreement, I won't go into detail, lest readers accuse me of padding the word count."

"Actually, I was against marriage at first, but Miss Xiao, do you believe in love at first sight?"

As if remembering something, Zhao Jinyan smiled sweetly, making Xiao Ruoxi roll her eyes.

I don't believe in love at first sight, unless the object of my affection is Brother Yuan, then I will fall in love with Brother Yuan at first sight!!!

"continue."

Suppressing her longing for Ye Linyuan, Xiao Ruoxi parted her teeth slightly and uttered two words, which finally brought Zhao Jinyan back to his senses.

"I apologize, Miss Xiao, I was lost in thought. I'll continue now."

"I fell in love with Shiyu at first sight, so after we got married, I tried my best to treat her well. Whenever she came home, I would cook for her myself. I cleaned every corner of our villa myself. When she went out, I would drive her to pick her up. I would buy her things she liked as gifts for every holiday. For her, I was willing to be a stay-at-home husband."

"I even gave up my favorite painting for her, and just focused on her. But I don't understand why Shiyu still ignores me even though I gave her my heart and everything."

Seeing Zhao Jinyan's somewhat agitated expression, Xiao Ruoxi's lips twitched slightly.

She roughly understood why that bitch surnamed Su had no feelings for her husband at all regarding this agreement.

As for his so-called intersection, isn't that just what maids and housekeepers do? He even became a stay-at-home husband for her? Is a dignified heir of the Su family looking for a stay-at-home husband?

Xiao Ruoxi rubbed her temples and asked calmly.

"Mr. Zhao, let me ask you this: after you got married, how much money and resources did Su Shiyu give your family? Or, to put it another way, how much did your family's company earn because of Su Shiyu?"

"In three years, relying on Shiyu's connections, he probably earned around one billion."

"Have you ever attended a banquet with Su Shiyu?"

"No, I don't like banquets, so I refused when Shiyu asked me to attend them."

"What about the dinner party?"

"I participated a few times at first, but each time I was met with sarcastic remarks, so I stopped participating later."

"Okay, what about business? Has Su Shiyu brought you into the Su Group?"

"When we got married, Shiyu did suggest that I become a department manager at the Su Group, but I felt I wasn't capable enough and was afraid of causing her trouble, so I declined."

Xiao Ruoxi: I.......

Who the hell is this person?!

"Miss Xiao, I've finished speaking, you..."

Xiao Ruoxi slowly stood up, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Zhao Jinyan.

She was wrong, terribly wrong. If she could hold Su Shiyu back with such a coward, she wouldn't be Su Shiyu!

Under Zhao Jinyan's puzzled gaze, Xiao Ruoxi walked to the front door, paused, and spoke without turning her head.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm such a fool. Asking you for help was the stupidest decision I've ever made. I shouldn't have had any expectations of you. You're such a coward. Your so-called contributions are nothing but self-pity because of your own incompetence. To be honest, I knew you were useless, but I never imagined you were so useless."

"You think you can win Su Shiyu's heart? I suggest you go back into your mother's womb and be born again. Maybe there'll be a tiny bit of a chance."

"Ask yourself honestly, what you've done shows absolutely no manly conduct or responsibility. How are you any different from a servant or butler? Does Su Shiyu really need a spineless servant like you?"

As Zhao Jinyan's face grew increasingly pale, Xiao Ruoxi delivered her most devastating blow.

"If I had to choose between you and Brother Yuan, anyone with a brain would choose Brother Yuan!"

"Compared to Brother Yuan, you're not even as good as his poop. At least Brother Yuan's poop can be used as fertilizer. You're utterly useless except for wasting air, food, and water!"
