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

Jane Ailing frowned, looking at Han Jia with a puzzled expression, and then turned her gaze to Jane Sen, who was walking behind her.

Jensen looked irritated and grabbed Han Jia's hand, trying to stop her from talking. "This is our business. Why are you dragging Jane Ailing into this?"

"How is this our business?" Han Jia shook off his hand. "Marriage is a matter for both families. Isn't she a member of the Jian family?"

"What does your marriage have to do with me?"

"Of course, didn't I tell you before? My dad only agreed to my marriage with Jensen because you two are related to the Yu family through marriage." Han Jia looked aggrieved. "Now that you and Yu Yunting are getting a divorce, doesn't that mean you have nothing to do with the Yu family anymore?"

Jane Ailing stared in astonishment, completely unprepared for Han Jia's words.

"Enough, Han Jia!" Jensen raised his voice angrily. "Didn't I tell you not to bring this up?"

"Why can't I say it? Isn't the root of the problem your sister?"

"Miss Han, if you truly love my brother and want to marry him, the person you should be dealing with right now is your father, not me." Jian Ailing stared at her. "If you two are truly in love, why let these worldly matters bind you together?"

"You make it sound so easy," Han Jia said, hands on her hips, glaring indignantly at Jian Ailing. "Aren't you worldly? You married Yu Yunting purely for true love, didn't you care about his background at all?"

Jane opened her mouth, but was so angry that she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't say anything.

"Han Jia, stop talking!" Wang Shuqin also walked to the front hall and put her arm around Jian Ailing's shoulder. "I will personally communicate with your parents about this matter. Tomorrow, Jian Hui and I will bring Jian Sen to your house, and we will talk things out then."

"I think Ai Ling is right. What we need to do now is persuade Uncle Han. Do we really want our marriage to be tied to my sister's marriage? Do you want to marry me or marry into the Yu family?" Jian Sen's face was also very ugly.

"Hey, I'm not saying Ai Ling can't get a divorce. It's fine if she gets a divorce after our wedding goes smoothly..." Han Jia sensed that the mother and son were on Jian Ai Ling's side, and she knew her reasons weren't very convincing. Her voice unconsciously lowered, "My dad's a stubborn old man; once he's made up his mind, it's hard to change it. I just think he's hard to persuade..."

"I'll go ask Uncle Han for help tomorrow." Jason's voice was firm. "I just don't want you to put all the blame on Ai Ling. This is a matter between you and me, and has nothing to do with her."

Jane led Han Jia inside, and the two walked further and further away, leaving only Jane Ailing and Wang Shuqin standing at the door.

Why... why did even Han Jia know they were getting a divorce?

Jane couldn't help but frown.

Logically speaking, Yu Yunting wouldn't have revealed this matter.

It seems that only Zhou Zean and Zeng Ying would reveal that they are getting a divorce.

Jane sighed, but she didn't have the time to investigate who had spread the rumor. Her biggest concern now was cleaning up the mess.

"Mom, you already know..." Now that things have come to this, there's no need for her to deny it anymore.

"Did you already start the divorce process when you moved back?" Wang Shuqin's expression didn't seem surprised.

"Um...it wasn't long after I submitted the application." Jian Ailing looked at Wang Shuqin somewhat uneasily. "Mom...you won't blame me, will you?"

"Silly girl, how did you two get together? Han Jia might not know, but how could your mother not know?" Wang Shuqin's smile was somewhat forced. "Your parents have seen all your efforts over the years."

"I'm getting old now, and I only hope you can be happy. If leaving the Yu family is a happy thing for you, then of course your mother will respect your choice."

Jane clutched the hem of her clothes, suddenly feeling a stinging sensation in her eyes.

She actually hoped that Wang Shuqin would give her a good scolding, which might provoke her rebellious nature and make her insist on getting a divorce, without feeling that she should have any responsibility for the family.

Her mother was right; she really wasn't qualified to give her advice. But their sudden understanding made Jane feel somewhat lost.

"So Dad...he knows too?"

Wang Shuqin nodded. "He knows. Of course, your dad would be even happier if you told him face to face."

"Okay, then I'll tell him to his face."

Her marriage to Yu Yunting was exactly the kind of arranged marriage Han Jia described—completely devoid of emotion and purely a transaction of interests. Now that she and Yu Yunting are about to divorce, she needs to have a proper talk with her parents about it.

Jian Ailing walked alone to the balcony on the first floor, in front of Jian Hui's study. She was about to knock on the door when she heard Jian Hui's voice.

"What did you say? Is Tianheng holding us up on the contract? This is such a big deal, we were working together perfectly before, and the process was the same as always, so why is there a problem now?"

"They're saying our quote doesn't fit Tianheng's budget? Our quote is lower than our competitors', why are they holding us back?"

"...So the contract is now with Yu Yunting? Will he still look at these supplier contracts one by one?... Sigh, we've prepared the raw materials and production lines. If we don't get this contract, we'll lose everything. We haven't received payment for the projects we did recently. If we don't get the first payment from Tianheng, our cash flow will dry up!"

"Tomorrow, could you arrange a time for me to meet with his secretary and go to Tianheng with Zhou Ting to see him? That's the only way right now."

Jane stood awkwardly outside the door, unsure whether she should go in.

She turned to leave, but the door was suddenly opened.

"Ailing?" Jian Hui stood behind the door, somewhat surprised to see who had come in.

"Dad," Jane Ailing forced a smile, "I'm back for dinner."

"Yes, it's good to be back, it's good to be back." Jian Hui smiled. "When you weren't here, your mother talked about you every day. Recently, the weather has been cold, and she was worried you would catch a cold. You lost weight recently, and she was worried you weren't eating well."

"Ailing, if you'd like, you can move it back directly."

"I..." Jane Ailing's lips twitched slightly. "Dad, is Yu Yunting still holding a contract with Chao Yuan?"

"Well, it's not a problem, it's probably just some communication issues at work." Jian Hui shook his head. "You don't need to worry about this, Dad will handle it."

Jane Ailing felt that Jane Hui's smile looked tired and forced.

Did he do it on purpose?

Because she wanted to leave, he deliberately put pressure on Chaoyuan, hoping that his parents would force her to come back to him.

Why is it that as soon as she gets divorced, her brother's marriage and the company's contracts are all affected by this?

"Dad... I'm getting a divorce from Yu Yunting. Did you know that?"
