She regretted divorcing the female CEO.

"His affairs after his death are entrusted to you."

"If you want to maintain a dignified appearance, then give him one." Si Yang glanced at Jiang Xiong, said this, and then got up and left.

Jiang Xiong was just a pawn left behind by the old man to control the Chaozhou gang. No matter what he did, the meat would still rot in the pot.

How could someone with his personality allow others to take advantage of him?

Sometimes I think about it, and those old guys are really scary.

They think three steps ahead before taking one.

He planted his chess piece thirty years ago, just as the saying goes, "You might as well try your luck." He might never use this piece in his life, but when the time comes, he needs to have a piece he can use.

With such foresight, who can say anything?

Si Yang did not return to Zhonghai immediately.

Walking on the streets of Guangzhou, one finds the city to be almost as prosperous as Shanghai.

His gaze was fixed on the north.

A complex look appeared in Si Yang's eyes.

"Let you go, and I'll let myself go?" Si Yang looked at the sky, a bright smile inexplicably spreading across his face.

Kyoto.

At the Liao family home, early in the morning, Liao Rushuang sat in front of her dressing table as the makeup artist applied her makeup and styled her hair.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Liao Rushuang showed no expression, numbly waiting for everything to happen.

The door opened, and Ye Qingyan appeared.

Liao Rushuang suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Qingyan, so much so that the makeup artist drew a line on her face with an eyebrow pencil!

"Qingyan," Liao Rushuang's voice trembled.

Ye Qingyan looked at Liao Rushuang's makeup and smiled, "Beautiful, really beautiful." Ye Qingyan sincerely praised her!

Liao Rushuang looked at Ye Qingyan's almost icy gaze, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"My best friend is getting married! How could I not come?" Ye Qingyan smiled at Liao Rushuang.

"On your wedding day, a joyous occasion, you should be smiling, and smiling happily." Ye Qingyan looked at Liao Rushuang's face, her smile unrestrained and mocking.

"Ye Qingyan." Liao Rushuang gritted her teeth.

Ye Qingyan smiled and said, "You really are a pitiful sight."

"But why is marriage so necessary?"

"Liao Rushuang, can't you live without a man in your life?" Ye Qingyan looked at Liao Rushuang, her tone almost sarcastic.

"You have it, so you can say anything." Liao Rushuang looked at Ye Qingyan, her face suddenly turning cold, and there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

"Ten years. I haven't had a boyfriend in ten years. I don't want any man except him."

"Unlike you, you can find someone else even if you lose him."

"We've already made things clear between us. He's let me go, yet you still want to provoke me," Liao Rushuang said through gritted teeth.

"So he let you go!" Ye Qingyan smiled.

"So, you're afraid to get married because he won't let you go, is that it?"

"So, you really like the person you're marrying now?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

"Ye Qingyan, what exactly do you want to do?" Liao Rushuang asked angrily!

"You've come to the wedding! Didn't you invite me?" Ye Qingyan looked at Liao Rushuang.

I walked up to Liao Rushuang and looked at her beautiful face so close to mine.

"Wasn't it you who invited me?"

"Or perhaps your intention wasn't to invite me, but rather to inform certain people that you're married?"

"Liao Rushuang, how naive you are!"

"Are you forcing him to overcome his own mental hurdle, come find you, and take you away?"

"Or is this a choice between two options? It would be best if they came, but it doesn't matter if they don't. It's just a matter of letting go of everything and living happily."

"Right!" Ye Qingyan smiled.

"Back then, fourteen families in Kyoto were implicated in that incident. Which of those fourteen families are still around?"

"Not to mention those who were directly involved, even those who were indirectly implicated have all withdrawn from the scene long ago, except for one person from your Liao family who died."

"As scarce as frost, isn't that enough?"

"What more do you want from him?"

"Do you really think the Liao family could have made a comeback without his approval?"

"Do you think you've sacrificed yourself for the Liao family? Don't be silly. No matter how many conditions you agree to, if he's unwilling, your Liao family has no hope for the rest of your lives."

"He knows everything, so he won't make things difficult for you."

"You also think you put on a good show, right?"

"I can only say you're stupid to the core, or rather, he's the one who gave you confidence."

"You think he hates you and wouldn't do anything to you, so you act recklessly," Ye Qingyan sneered.

Even Mu Nancen, the woman who bore his child, didn't dare, so why should Liao Rushuang?

"All you remember is that he killed your brother, he killed him with his own hands."

"You think that being able to let go is a huge blessing."

"You think you have the right to argue with him?"

"You feel he hasn't let go of you, but after all, feelings are like that! Whoever doesn't care lives a happier life, right?"

"But have you ever considered what he has lost?"

"Overnight, he lost almost everything he could lose."

"How can you expect him to let go?"

"When you came back, he saw you once. Do you think that, given his personality, if he had no expectations, he would have deliberately gone to see you?"

"He can guarantee you'll never see him again in your entire life."

"Liao Rushuang, I used to consider you a friend, but now, I truly despise you." Ye Qingyan suppressed the urge to slap Liao Rushuang's face and smiled at her.

"He won't come, so you can rest assured and be a good bride!" Ye Qingyan smiled calmly.

She suddenly felt it wasn't worth it, that it wasn't worth it for Si Yang.

He didn't compromise much in his life; Liao Rushuang was the one who compromised the most.

Ye Qingyan didn't even know whether Liao Rushuang's attempt to win back Si Yang was genuine or feigned.

After all, by the time Si Yang was won back, the Liao family had already made a comeback.

So it's possible that an agreement has been reached?

Perhaps even Si Yang himself doesn't know!

However, because of his biased view of Liao Rushuang, he was unwilling to think too badly of her.

What Si Yang said may not be correct, and perhaps only Liao Rushuang herself knows her true feelings.

"Did you go to him back then because you reached an agreement?" Ye Qingyan asked softly.

His tone was even somewhat terrified.

If that's really the case, what will happen to Si Yang? Will he be heartbroken?

Ye Qingyan dared not think about it.

Liao Rushuang's face suddenly turned pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

"Or do you want to give yourself a legitimate reason?" Ye Qingyan asked, looking at Liao Rushuang.

"This is none of your business," Liao Rushuang said through gritted teeth!

"I see."

"Liao Rushuang, you're utterly rotten."

"I can understand the choice you made for the family's revival, but you shouldn't have lied to him." Ye Qingyan smiled.

"I have never lied to him from beginning to end," Liao Rushuang said, looking at Ye Qingyan.

"Why is marriage so important?" Ye Qingyan asked.

"Trying to force him out? Want the Liao family to advance further?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

"After all, you know what he represents."

"Or is it that your Liao family is eager to get on this bandwagon?"

What the Yan family of the North found hard to refuse, how could the impoverished Liao family possibly refuse?

Ye Qingyan suddenly understood.

"Liao Rushuang, you don't think you're paying off his debts, do you? The Liao family's debts?"

"You think he killed your brother, so you owe the Liao family something?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

"Shouldn't they owe you? If it weren't for you, the Liao family would have been gone long ago." Ye Qingyan stared intently at Liao Rushuang.

Faced with Ye Qingyan's condescending attitude, Liao Rushuang's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground.

"Stop talking, Ye Qingyan. You've already gotten what you wanted, why are you still forcing me?"

"I just want to find someone to spend the rest of my life with."

"Don't ask me, I don't know." Liao Rushuang looked at Ye Qingyan with tears in her eyes.

"What can I do since he said that?"

"When I decided to reach an agreement with the higher-ups for the sake of the Liao family's reinstatement, my reputation as a person was already rotten in their eyes."

"That's betrayal, you know that?"

"It's a betrayal of him."

"I had no choice, what could I do?"

"They have never mistreated me. Ye Qingyan, you also have a family behind you. If you were in my position, what would you do?"

"Tell me, what will you do?" Liao Rushuang cried out in despair!

"So, this is your reason for compromising with the Liao family."

"I was going to get married too, but I ran away from it."

"He didn't even come to pick me up."

"Liao Rushuang, you're too obedient, so you're always the one who gets bullied." Ye Qingyan couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Liao Rushuang.

"Let's put on makeup!"

"It's not good to have your makeup ruined by crying."

"We can't leave things like this when the wedding procession comes to pick us up!"

"As your sister, all I can do is wish you happiness." Ye Qingyan looked at Liao Rushuang and smiled calmly.

Under the desperate gaze of Liao Rushuang, Ye Qingyan turned and left.

A middle-aged woman appeared at this moment.

"Qingyan." The woman's eyes lit up when she looked at Ye Qingyan.

A mother as rare as frost.

A former noblewoman.

Now, though weathered by time, joy is still palpable.

"Are you happy?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

"You've finally moved on. Let bygones be bygones!" Mother Liao looked at Ye Qingyan and sighed with inexplicable emotion.

"Do you think Ru Shuang is happy?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

"It will all pass."

"I just hope she can live a good life from now on," Mrs. Liao said with a smile.

Ye Qingyan smiled upon hearing this.

She suddenly understood Liao Rushuang a little. With such a clueless mother, it was no wonder that Liao Rushuang was the same way.

Upon exiting the door, several elders of the Liao family were sitting in the living room.

"Qingyan is here." Liao Rushuang's father greeted Ye Qingyan with a smile.

Ye Qingyan looked at her father, who was as cold as snow, without saying a word.

I just watched quietly.

The next moment, Ye Qingyan stepped forward.

He walked up to his father, who was as cold as snow, and suddenly slapped him across the face.

"I suddenly understand."

"You think he killed your son, so you're enemies, right?" Ye Qingyan sneered.

Liao's father looked bewildered.

Looking at Ye Qingyan's sharp eyes, he inexplicably dared not look her in the eye.

Ye Qingyan! The girl who used to be with her daughter is now the head of Pingchao Club, the most favored child of the Ye family. The Ye family is now rising rapidly in status.

How prominent is Ye Qingyan?

No further explanation is needed.

So when faced with this slap, Liao Rushuang's father just smiled bitterly, without saying a word, nor daring to say a word.

"You wanted revenge on him, so you even took revenge on your own daughter."

"Back then, wasn't it you who forced Ru Shuang to rise again?"

"Beg her? Kidnap her?"

"The same applies if we were to marry her off to someone else now!"

"If he can't tolerate it, then the Liao family will have gotten on this train. If he does tolerate it, it may become a regret for him for the rest of his life."

"A clever plan," Ye Qingyan said with a smile.

Liao Fuqian chuckled.

Ye Qingyan, who was watching quietly, said, "I asked Ru Shuang, and she's willing."

"Was it her own choice, or did you force her to agree?" Ye Qingyan asked!

"Does it matter?" Liao's father laughed coldly.

"That's true." Ye Qingyan smiled coldly.

She suddenly understood why Si Yang didn't want Liao Rushuang. Given his personality, if he wanted to, Liao Rushuang wouldn't be able to escape, and might even be willing to.

However, he saw precisely Liao Rushuang's contradictory personality and Liao's father's scheming.

This matter is simple in some ways, and complicated in others.

It's more like a psychological battle.

Liao Rushuang is a person in front of Si Yang, but a puppet in front of Liao's father.

She had her own thoughts and emotions in front of Si Yang.

In fact, she couldn't even carry it as lightly as Shen Qingqian.

Moreover, the Liao family had truly seen prosperity and were definitely not as easy to deal with as the Shen family.

"What if your children can't get married and the Liao family falls into ruin again?" Ye Qingyan asked with a smile!

Liao's father's expression changed drastically.

Ye Qingyan took out her phone in front of Liao Rushuang's father.

"Dad, no matter what, I don't want the Liao family to rise again."

"As for who Liao Rushuang will marry, I will target whoever dares to marry her."

"I said it," Ye Qingyan said into the phone!

"I understand," came a calm voice from the other end of the phone.

The call was immediately disconnected.

"We only reason when you're being reasonable."

"Since you've chosen to be unreasonable, so can we," Ye Qingyan smiled.

This is a very simple matter for the Ye family.

Liao's father wants to act like a rogue and take revenge on Si Yang, so he'll make sure you lose everything first.

What you desire will ultimately be what you cannot have.

"You should be grateful that you are alive, grateful that you are Ru Shuang's father."

"She might not be able to see clearly now."

"But what about three years later, five years later, ten years later?"

"How long can you control her?" Ye Qingyan asked Liao's father with a cold smile.

Ye Qingyan glanced at Liao Rushuang's father, then turned and left.

In fact, she could have taken Liao Rushuang away with her.

No one dared to stop them, nor could they stop them.

However, Si Yang has no shortage of canaries around him, but he lacks people with flesh and blood.

Canaries are something Si Yang wants; there are plenty available, and some people might even offer them to him willingly.

Even the eldest daughter of the Yan family's direct lineage is not immune to temptation; how many women in the world can resist?

After Ye Qingyan left.

Half an hour later, a figure rushed over.

He was the groom's father.

His shirt was soaked.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid the wedding can't take place this time."

"I didn't know that brat was impotent!"

Mr. Liao was stunned. They had come up with such a reason. What else could he say?

"I'm sorry," the groom's father said with an apologetic smile.

Because someone told him to say it like that, that's what they said.

Is it possible?

can!

But he knew that after marrying Liao Rushuang, this lie would become the truth.
