After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously turned around to re-examine her surroundings.

"Where are you?"

There was no sign of Liu Zhiyuan anywhere in the entire neighborhood.

Judging from his voice on the phone, he could see himself and his daughter right now. Could it be...?

"Don't wander around, I'm not downstairs. Look up in the northwest corner, it's the sixth floor."

Lan Yujuan turned around following the other person's voice and looked up at the sixth floor.

Sure enough, I saw a figure I knew all too well, leaning against the balcony, making a phone call and waving in my direction.

"I'm here! Can you see me?" The man on the phone laughed in a way that sent chills down her spine.

Even from this distance, though Lan Yujuan couldn't see the other person's face clearly, she could still tell from their body shape and movements that the person was indeed Liu Zhiyuan.

Lan Yujuan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"When did you get back?"

The man on the phone suddenly burst into laughter, a wild and unrestrained laugh, like a madman.

"You care about me?"

"I just got back; I landed and entered the country this morning."

"It's the weekend today, and I guessed that you and your daughter would go back to your parents' home, so I specially rented an apartment in this neighborhood."

"Why don't you come up and sit down? We haven't seen each other in a long time, why don't we sit down and catch up?"

Lan Yujuan clenched her fists silently and said coldly:

"No need, there's nothing to talk about between us."

"However, I'm a little curious. Didn't you sign a five-year contract to go abroad? How did you get back?"

"Could it be that they violated the law and illegally crossed the border?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Zhiyuan's breathing visibly faltered, and his voice was filled with a hint of gritted teeth.

"Hmph, they say even a one-night stand creates a hundred days of kindness! We've been together for seven or eight years, and you don't even have a single wish for my happiness?"

"What, did my early return make you nervous?"

"You wouldn't be hoping I die in Africa, would you?!"

Lan Yujuan withdrew her gaze, slowly walked into the small pavilion next to her, sat down, and said indifferently:

"Not really, I wouldn't say I was nervous, but I was a little surprised."

"After all, I don't have the energy right now to think about other unimportant things."

"However, given your abilities, you should be able to do well anywhere."

"If I really lived in Africa for five years, I might settle down there, get married and have children, and spend the rest of my life there."

Lan Yujuan knew very well that her ex-husband was indeed unfaithful and immoral, but he was also quite capable.

Moreover, his background and the environment he grew up in enabled him to quickly adapt to harsh conditions.

His innate excellent learning ability also allows him to grow up quickly.

Even if he goes to Africa to provide aid, it's not as a cheap labor export, but as a way to bring in high-end talent.

No matter how bad or harsh the living environment is, it can't be worse than when I had no job or income and was raising my child and taking care of my in-laws alone in Xiahe Village.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

Lan Yujuan held her phone in one hand and gently placed the other on her lower abdomen, not wanting to have too much to do with the past.

Then, just as she was about to hang up, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly said:

"Wait a moment!"

Lan Yujuan paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Is there anything else?"

Before he went abroad, the two had reconciled and were even.

If Liu Zhiyuan hadn't lost his mind, he should have started to pursue his own life instead of continuing to harass the mother and daughter.

"I came back this time because someone specially spent a lot of money to help me terminate my contract and return to China early."

"Not only did they help me return to China and have the company compensate me with a large sum of money, but they also arranged a job that was very suitable for me."

"Aren't you curious about who this person is?"

"I'm a complete stranger to them. Why would they contact me and then go to such lengths to secretly bring me back to China?"

Lan Yujuan paused for a moment, then calmly said:

"What does this have to do with me?"

"As long as you stop disturbing our peaceful life, whether you return to China or not makes no difference to me."

From the moment of the divorce, she considered the man dead in her heart.

Any man with even a modicum of moral character shouldn't keep popping up like a zombie!

Of course, men of good character will not cheat, and will not go so far as to get divorced.

Which couple doesn't get married with the intention of spending their lives together?

"Since you don't want to know, then I won't say the name." Liu Zhiyuan laughed somewhat smugly on the phone.

"However, I can tell you one thing: I'm about to join the renowned Xu Group in Beijing."

"Moreover, they took the initiative to poach me, offering me the position of head of the technical department at the Xiangnan branch, with an annual salary that more than doubled from before."
