Ye Jingyi glanced at Ye Jianchang and said indifferently, "Uncle, may I sign now?"

"Sign... sign it." Ye Jianchang spoke sheepishly.

Ye Jingyi picked up the pen and signed her name, then handed a contract to Wang Maode.

"Then, Miss Ye, we won't disturb you any further." Wang Maode and his companions smiled, turned, and left the hospital room.

Ye Jianchang's eyes darted around, and he followed them out of the room.

"President Wang," catching up to Wang Hui, Ye Jianchang sneakily handed him a large red envelope. It was prepared for The Four Seas initially, but unfortunately, it wasn't used.

"President Wang, why did The Four Seas only sign a contract with Jingyi?" Ye Jianchang asked in a low voice.

Wang Hui said indifferently, "Our new president is quite young; he probably sees potential in Miss Ye Jingyi."

Ye Jianchang was stunned for a moment before he understood. A graceful lady attracts a gentleman!

Watching Wang Hui and the others leave, Ye Jianchang returned to the hospital room.

"Big brother, the share transfer agreement and the cash bonus." Zhou Ru blocked Ye Jianchang, preventing him from going to Ye Jingyi to get the investment contract.

Burned once, Zhou Ru was now more protective of her interests. She had been played by Ye Jianchang before, but this time she was on guard.

Ye Jianchang's eyelid twitched, and he turned his head to look at Ye Jianxiong, who looked up at the sky, pretending not to see anything.

Ye Jianchang glared at Zhou Ru and took out his phone to call Ye Jianmin.

Soon after, Ye Jianmin arrived with the share transfer agreement. After signing, Ye Jianchang transferred the funds, and then Zhou Ru allowed Ye Jingyi to give the investment contract to Ye Jianchang.

With the business concluded, Ye Jianchang and Ye Jianmin left, and Zhou Ru followed along with others, leaving Ye Jingyi alone in the hospital room.

Ye Jingyi looked around at the empty room, her eyes revealing a trace of desolation.

Her family members only had eyes for money. Once the contract was signed, they didn't care about her anymore. Who else would truly care for me?

"Knock, knock, knock—"

As she was thinking, the door to the hospital room was suddenly knocked on. Ye Jingyi looked up to see a heavily made-up woman walk in.

"Yaoyao?! What are you doing here?" Ye Jingyi exclaimed in surprise.

Yaoyao sat down next to Ye Jingyi and said with concern, "Why can't I come? Jingyi, I heard you were sick and came specially to see you. How are you? Is it serious?"

"I'm fine, just need a couple of days of rest," Ye Jingyi said, caught off guard and full of astonishment.

Yaoyao nodded, then complained, "Jingyi, my brother has only been abroad for a few years; why were you in such a hurry to get married? If my brother knew about this overseas, he would be so heartbroken!"

Ye Jingyi was stunned, her eyes filled with reminiscence and sorrow.

This Yaoyao, whose real name was Li Yaoyao, was the sister of Ye Jingyi's first love, Li Jiangming.

When Ye Jingyi was dating Li Jiangming, she always insisted on guarding her last line of defense, insisting that she would only give herself to Li Jiangming after they were married.

Later, Ye Jingyi took over Liying Cosmetics, and because she was too busy with work, she didn't spend much time with Li Jiangming. As a result, Li Jiangming cheated on her with another rich and pretty girl and ran away with her, going abroad directly.

Ye Jingyi knew all these things clearly in her heart, but she didn't blame Li Jiangming. Instead, she felt that her own requirements were too strict, and that this had driven Li Jiangming away.

Seeing the sad look on Ye Jingyi's face, Li Yaoyao gave a sly smile and assumed a caring tone, "Sister Jingyi, let me tell you, my brother will be back in a few days, and he will definitely come to pursue you. Your chance has come, and you must seize it. You have no idea, after several years, how outstanding my brother has become. You would be very happy to be with him; it'll be your luck, so you must not miss it."

Ye Jingyi was startled and then said self-mockingly, "I'm already married, why would he still pursue me!"

"Sister Jingyi, I've already asked Sister Yan Ni. You and that Jiang Chen are just in a marriage of convenience. Once my brother comes back, just divorce that loser husband of yours. Right, you mustn't have a real marital relationship with that loser husband, or else my brother will not like you anymore. You didn't even give yourself to my brother before, how could you give yourself to that loser." Li Yaoyao patted Ye Jingyi's hand.

It was then that Ye Jingyi realized Li Yaoyao must have learned from Ye Yanni that she was staying here in the hospital.

At that moment, a series of footsteps approached, and Jiang Chen walked in from outside.

"Jiang Chen? Why are you here?" Ye Jingyi's complexion changed, and she felt as if she were caught cheating.

Glancing at Li Yaoyao, Jiang Chen looked at Ye Jingyi with confusion, "Jingyi, who is this?"

Ye Jingyi hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to introduce Li Yaoyao.

"My name is Li Yaoyao, I am the sister of Jingyi's first love, Li Jiangming." Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Li Yaoyao's eyes brightened, and she stood up to face Jiang Chen, saying arrogantly, "So you are Jingyi's loser husband, Jiang Chen, right? My brother will be back soon, and you are done for. Hurry up and divorce Jingyi!"

Jiang Chen was stunned at first, then his eyebrows furrowed and he was fuming with rage.

It wasn't the fact that Li Jiangming was Ye Jingyi's first love that enraged him, but in his dream-memory, that bastard who had colluded with Xu Gang to take over Ye Jingyi's family assets was Li Mingjiang.

Even though Ye Jingyi's fate had changed, Jiang Chen had no good impression of Li Mingjiang.

"Let me tell you, back then my brother was so good to Jingyi. Once my brother comes back, Jingyi will definitely be with my brother. You, this useless guy, should just divorce Jingyi and get as far away as possible!" Li Yaoyao spoke again.

Ye Jingyi's face changed, and she felt displeased, but due to saving face, she didn't speak up to argue.

Jiang Chen could no longer contain his anger and raised his hand to strike Li Yaoyao, but mid-way, remembering that Ye Jingyi was still there, he pulled back his power and ended up lightly hitting Li Yaoyao's face.

The sound of a slap, neither light nor heavy, rang out, and Li Yaoyao's eyes shifted as she suddenly fell to the ground, playing the victim.

"Ouch, Sister Jingyi, look at your useless husband. He's got no competence and resorts to hitting people. Sister Jingyi, you have to divorce him. With his attitude, he will never treat you well in the future, and once he gets what he wants from you, he might abandon you!"

Li Yaoyao lay on the ground wailing miserably, and to the uninformed, it might have seemed as if she had been violated.

Ye Jingyi's impression of Jiang Chen had already improved significantly due to a series of incidents, but Li Yaoyao's appearance had disrupted the harmony inside her heart. Along with Li Yaoyao's pitiful state, Ye Jingyi suddenly became furious:

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing? How could you hit Yaoyao? You're still so violent. What can you do besides be violent? Get out of here right now, I don't want to see you!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, gave Ye Jingyi a deep look, and then coldly glanced at Li Yaoyao lying on the ground before turning to leave the ward with a dark expression.

Watching Jiang Chen leave, Li Yaoyao on the ground couldn't help but reveal a triumphant sneer.
