Three years after our breakup, my ex-boyfriend dragged me to get our marriage certificate.

The family driver took Lin Qingyi to pick up Ji Yuhuai.

On the way, Lin Qingyi called two mutual friends and finally understood the whole story.

He had lunch with the CEO of Hongyang Technology.

After the meal, he invited the other person to a club to relax.

Lin Qingyi never expected that he, who had always been a proud and privileged man, would stoop so low in order to attract investment.

He got drunk, beat up the boss, and wouldn't let go of him.

Helpless, the other party dared not take Ji Yuhuai seriously, but since no one could persuade Ji Yuhuai, they had no choice but to call Ji Kun to intervene.

Before entering the private room, Lin Qingyi took a deep breath and forced herself not to lose her temper.

Upon entering, the strong smell of alcohol and tobacco immediately displeased her.

She didn't like being bossed around by Ji Kun, especially when it was something thankless and exhausting.

But she couldn't refuse.

When her friends saw her come in, they all called her Sister Qingyi.

Lin Qingyi responded and walked over to Ji Yuhuai, who was still tugging at the other person's tie.

"Ji Yuhuai, let go." Her voice was cold and hard.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the drunken man, whose eyes were barely open, slowly raised his head and stared at her for several seconds with a vacant look.

The next second, he obediently snuggled into Lin Qingyi's arms and rubbed his head against her waist.

"Wife..."

Lin Qingyi frowned subconsciously, but before she could speak, she heard Jiang Wenxi's voice behind her.

"Ah Huai, I'm here."

After receiving the call, Jiang Wenxi rushed over immediately.

Lin Qingyi raised her hands high and winked at Jiang Wenxi, "Take him away quickly."

"I won't..." Ji Yuhuai tightened his grip, his strength so great it felt like he wanted to mash her into his bones, "You can't send me away..."

"Ah Huai, I've come to pick you up." Jiang Wenxi reached out to grab his arm, but he shook her off.

"Honey... listen to me, I'm working really hard to earn money now."

Ji Yuhuai's body was trembling, his voice muffled, tinged with a sob and a pleading tone, "I will definitely earn more money, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

He was like a little boy eager for a reward.

Jiang Wenxi glanced awkwardly at Lin Qingyi, "I pushed him too hard. I just casually told him that if he wanted to marry me, the dowry he prepared had to exceed..."

Lin Qingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes at her, then reached out and ruffled Ji Yuhuai's hair, coaxing him softly, "Okay, I'm not angry with you, but you have to go home first."

"No, I want you to come home with me." Ji Yuhuai shook his head.

"I'll be back as soon as I've finished dealing with things, okay?" Lin Qingyi's voice deepened, clearly indicating that her patience was wearing thin.

The man in her arms suddenly raised his head, looking at her expectantly, "I'll be good, will you really come back?"

"Mm." Lin Qingyi nodded, took his arm, and handed it to Jiang Wenxi.

Jiang Wenxi's face turned extremely ugly, after all, her boyfriend was hugging and cuddling with his ex-girlfriend in public...

"Keep an eye on your man," Lin Qingyi reminded her. "You should know what it means to lose more than you gain, right?"

Jiang Wenxi's eyes reddened.

She drove Ji Yuhuai to this state because of the so-called bride price.

If this causes a rift between the two, wouldn't that be a loss?

After all, as long as they marry into the Ji family, even without a dowry, there are still so many assets waiting for them.

"When we get back, make sure he sobers up quickly and goes back to the old house to meet Uncle Ji," Lin Qingyi added. "Remember to make him apologize."

Jiang Wenxi did not refute, but simply helped Ji Yuhuai walk out.

Lin Qingyi turned to look at General Manager Zhao of Hongyang Technology.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao."

Although Lin Qingyi was smiling, the smile lingered in her eyes. "Ah Huai is young and impetuous, and he didn't know any better. He frightened you."

"Young Master Ji certainly has a terrible temper," said General Manager Zhao, pointing to his forehead. "He almost cracked my skull open."

"However, he usually doesn't lose his temper unless there's a reason."

Lin Qingyi spoke again, causing President Zhao's expression to change instantly.

He dared not elaborate on the reasons.

The conversation had gone quite well, and he promised Ji Yuhuai that he would introduce him to a partner at QY Financial Group.

He jokingly suggested that Ji Yuhuai invite Lin Qingyi over to play the violin to entertain the guests.

After all, everyone in the industry is saying that Ji Yuhuai and Lin Qingyi have long since stopped seeing each other.

He had seen Lin Qingyi before, wearing a red dress, her fair skin looking exceptionally radiant...

To his surprise, the bottle smashed into his forehead the next second.

Now it seems that Ji Kun arranged for Lin Qingyi to pick people up, and Ji Yuhuai was as obedient as a dog in front of Lin Qingyi.

He regretted it terribly. Why did he have to be so stupid and say such a thing?

"Mr. Zhao, could you please tell me why?" Lin Qingyi asked calmly. "I need to go back so I can complain to Uncle Ji."

"It's nothing, it's just that I couldn't give CEO Ji a definite answer, and he was a little unhappy."

General Manager Zhao clung to this excuse.

"I see." Lin Qingyi smiled. "Before Uncle Ji came, he asked me to apologize to you on behalf of Ah Huai."

This matter has caused you to suffer injustice.

"If you ever need anything in the future, the Ji family will definitely help if we can."

"Yes, yes, yes." President Zhao nodded repeatedly. "I wasn't really upset. After all, I was drunk. It's only natural."

"Once Mr. Ji sobers up, I'll definitely take him to meet the partners at QY Financial."

"That would be very kind of trouble for you, Mr. Zhao."

Lin Qingyi didn't look at her again and turned to walk out.

In fact, Ji Kun didn't tell her anything, he just asked her to bring the person back.

She had just used the Ji family's attitude to put pressure on President Zhao, but only to help Ji Yuhuai make connections so that his company could get running.

With the power to rival Ji Kun, he could then marry Jiang Wenxi.

After leaving the club, she called Ji Kun to explain the situation, and then had the driver take her directly home.

On the dining table were two plates of home-style dishes and rice.

That's when she saw the message Qiao Suining sent her.

"I'm sharing our love-themed food with you, so you don't have to cook."

Lin Qingyi replied with an annoying emoji.

Soon, Qiao Suining sent her a video call.

"Qingyi, when you weren't home, I saw someone knocking on the door next door."

Qiao Suining asked curiously, "I didn't dare to go out."

"What kind of man?" Lin Qingyi asked in surprise.

"He has an extraordinary air about him, but he looks to be at least thirty years old." Qiao Suining thought for a moment, "A very mature middle-aged man."

"Then I don't know who it is." Lin Qingyi shook her head. "Or maybe they went to the wrong place."

"Could it be one of He Zhixu's men? Following me?"

Qiao Suining felt a little uneasy.

"He probably can't take care of you for the time being; he's been busy meeting and having meals with various leaders in Beicheng."

Lin Qingyi reassured her, "Ningning, you don't need to be afraid."

"I've already thought of a plan for you. If He Zhixu really discovers something, you'll make sure he dares not speak out against it."

"Have you found He Zhixu's mistress?"
