After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

Yu Yunting glanced at her, as if it took him a few seconds to understand what she meant, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma hasn't liked me lately, and I've wanted to leave Minghua Manor for a long time." Zeng Ying pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved.

"You ruined her birthday party like this, how can she like you?" Yu Yunting turned his head away, closed his eyes and ignored her, only rubbing his temples with his hand.

My head felt heavy from the hangover, and my temples were throbbing.

"Brother... I know I was wrong. You can't just not take me in, or I'll have nowhere to go." Zeng Ying sat on the sofa, looking at Yu Yunting expectantly.

Yu Yunting remained noncommittal, but then, feeling dizzy and disoriented, he sat up from the sofa and quickly left.

"Brother, then I'll take that as a yes?" Zeng Ying looked at his back and smiled smugly.

As Yu Yunting walked back to his room, he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and saw Zeng Ying carrying a suitcase up the stairs.

"Why did you bring your luggage up here?"

"So...didn't you agree to let me move in?" She looked at him innocently.

"Aren't there guest rooms downstairs? Let Aunt Lü arrange it for you."

"But..." Zeng Ying pointed to the room next door, "Isn't the room next door empty? Can't I move in there?"

"Anyway...didn't you and Jane Ailing already go through the divorce proceedings?"

Yu Yunting's expression changed slightly. "Who told you?"

Zeng Ying's expression also changed. "I saw her a few days ago, and she told me herself."

"Don't tell my family. I don't want them to know."

"Yes, don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone."

"The room next door hasn't been cleaned yet, so you can stay downstairs."

After saying that, Yu Yunting walked into the room without turning his head and slammed the door shut.

That woman is indeed quite capable.

Zeng Ying turned her cold gaze toward the room next door.

What's so great about her? That her brother can't forget her?

Zeng Ying clenched her fist.

What Jane Ailing can do, she can definitely do too.

"Achoo!" Jane rubbed her nose and slowly pushed her suitcase to the front door.

She bought a high-speed rail ticket to another province and traveled for four or five days. It was the off-season for tourism, so hotel accommodations weren't expensive, and she didn't spend too much money.

Although it wasn't for very long, she felt much more comfortable and at ease.

Being single is great; you can take a trip whenever you want without having to discuss it with anyone or get anyone's permission.

Jane's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Zhu Yan.

[Zhu Yan]: Lingling, have you returned to Dragon City?

[Jane Ailing]: I just got home, what's up?

[Zhu Yan]: Let's go out for dinner and drinks! You're single again and finally free from this misery, shouldn't we celebrate?

[Jane Ailing]: We can go out for a meal, but let's skip the drinking.

Ever since she got into such a mess while drunk last time, Jane Ailing has kept her distance from this kind of drink.

Drinking can lead to trouble, so it's best to avoid drinking unless absolutely necessary.

[Zhu Yan]: It doesn't matter anymore, just come out! Let's go to Sands Plaza for dinner tonight! Anyway, your home isn't far from Sands Plaza, I'll wait for you here!

[Jane Ailing]: Okay, okay, I'll put my luggage away and wash my face before I come over.

After putting her luggage away at home, Jian Ailing followed the location sent by Zhu Yan and arrived at a hot pot restaurant in Jinsha Plaza.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan was not the only one waiting for her; Zhou Ze'an and a man she didn't recognize were also there.

Although Jane Ailing didn't know who the man was, she could tell from Zhu Yan's intimate body language that he was her new boyfriend, Qiu Lixin.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan gave her such a "big surprise".

Jane Ailing twitched the corners of her mouth and greeted Zhou Ze'an and Qiu Lixin, "It's so lively here."

"Let me introduce you first, this is my boyfriend, Ali!" Zhu Yan smiled and took Qiu Lixin's arm. "I wanted to celebrate for you today, but I happened to go on a date with Ali during the day. But I also wanted to introduce you two."

"Zhou Ze'an and Ali are good friends, and you're good friends with him too. He happens to be nearby, so we arranged to meet up. That way you won't complain about being a third wheel again."

"Ailing, long time no see." Zhou Ze'an pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled at her. It was a bit chilly today, and he was wearing a light gray sweater. The collar of his military green shirt peeked out from under the sweater.

"Brother Ze'an".

When Jian Ailing saw Zhou Ze'an again, she felt uneasy, but the first person that came to mind was Yu Yunting.

Every time she saw Zhou Ze'an, that man would fly into a rage like a madman, and she would inexplicably bear the brunt of his anger. It even caused Ze'an to be demoted.

The price was far too high.

Jane touched her chest, trying to calm herself down a little.

But that's all in the past... She's already getting a divorce from Yu Yunting, and he won't care about her anymore.

She doesn't need to always be so easily frightened.

"Ailing, what's wrong? You look terrible." Zhou Zean looked at her with concern.

"I'm fine." Jian Ailing shook her head vigorously, forcing a smile at him. "Let's order. Since you're here to celebrate my return to single life, this meal is on me!"

"That won't do, you've already spent so much..." Realizing there were other people around, Zhu Yan's voice trailed off.

"Let me treat you." Zhou Ze'an took out his phone and scanned the QR code. "Ailing, this is to celebrate for you. To celebrate that you finally escaped that unhappy marriage."

"Yes, yes, let Zhou Ze'an treat us," Zhu Yan chimed in. "Ali said he just received a bonus recently!"

"Alright..." Since she didn't have much money on hand, Jian Ailing stopped refusing. She smiled at Zhou Ze'an, "Then I won't be polite."

"Don't be so polite with me, hurry up and order."

After a satisfying meal, Zhu Yan suggested they go to their next destination. "There's a new bar that just opened nearby. My colleague said the atmosphere is pretty good. How about we go grab a drink?"

"I'm not drinking anymore," Jane waved her hand reflexively.

She still vividly remembers how serious the consequences of her last bout of drunkenness were.

"Why? Wouldn't it be great if the four of us went together?" Zhu Yan asked, her interest piqued, as she continued to insist.

"I have work tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get up if I drink too much," she could only say as an excuse.

"If she doesn't want to drink, don't force her," Zhou Ze'an said. "Ailing, I'll take you home."
