"Jing Yi, you see, right? All he ever does is play the good guy with other people's money. With someone like him, your life is ruined," Li Yaoyao was so furious that she was jumping up and down, shouting at Ye Jingyi.

But Lin Wan added a comment from the side, "Li Yaoyao, what nonsense are you spouting? That money was compensation your brother owed Jiang Chen, which makes it his money now. He didn't even have to think twice before donating it, and that's really something."

"I..."

Li Yaoyao was rendered speechless.

Ye Jingyi looked at Lin Wan with surprise, then gave Jiang Chen a complex look.

Jiang Chen didn't bother with Li Jiangming and his sister anymore. He stepped up to Ye Jingyi and said sternly, "Jing Yi, I know you've never believed me, but I still have to tell you something. Li Jiangming is not a good guy, no matter what you think of him, you can't be with him. He'll only hurt you!"

Ye Jingyi was momentarily stunned, then turned to glance at Li Jiangming.

Li Jiangming's face twisted with rage as he cursed, "What bullshit are you spouting, you piece of trash? I truly like Jing Yi. Do you think I'm like you, just leeching off Jing Yi?"

"Exactly, don't believe him, Jing Yi. He's just trying to drive a wedge between you and my brother, this loser is so malicious," Li Yaoyao chimed in.

Ye Jingyi frowned slightly but said nothing.

"Just take care of yourself." Jiang Chen looked at Ye Jingyi once more and, without paying attention to Li Jiangming and the other, got on his e-bike and left.

Lin Wan's expression changed, and after saying a word to Ye Jingyi, she walked toward her own car.

"Jiang Chen, stop," Lin Wan caught up with Jiang Chen in her car and shouted through the rolled-down window.

Jiang Chen parked his e-bike on the curb and looked at Lin Wan with confusion.

Lin Wan got out of the car and rushed to Jiang Chen's side, speaking anxiously, "You can't let Jing Yi down, you can't be with Gong Lin, you mustn't mess around!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback for a moment, then, as he looked at Lin Wan's face, his brows suddenly furrowed, and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

"Did you hear what I said?" Lin Wan, seeing that Jiang Chen didn't respond, pushed him slightly.

Suddenly, with a smirk, Jiang Chen said, "That's right, I saved your brother and you haven't called me 'Daddy' yet."

"You..." Lin Wan was caught off guard by Jiang Chen's retort, her anger flaring up, "I'm talking serious business here, you total jerk. You absolutely cannot betray Jing Yi. Are you already emotionally cheating? I'm telling you, you..."

Jiang Chen didn't wait for Lin Wan to finish speaking, he interrupted again, "You still haven't called me 'Daddy'."

"I'm telling you..."

"Call me Daddy!"

"You..."

"Say it now, call me Daddy!"

Lin Wan was seething with rage and raised her hand to hit Jiang Chen.

At that moment, Jiang Chen suddenly grabbed Lin Wan's hand, and, with a lift of his leg, forced her down onto his lap as his other hand harshly slapped her bottom.

"Smack, smack, smack—"

Lin Wan was stunned by the slapping and froze in place. At the same time, a strange feeling emerged within her.

When she came to her senses and Jiang Chen had finished, she pushed him away, indignant, "What are you doing? You, you, you dare to hit my butt! You... you bastard!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Lin Wan, have you been having painful periods lately? Feeling weak all over, dizzy sometimes, and like you can't get excited about anything?"

Lin Wan paused, surprised, "How... how did you know?"

Jiang Chen laughed, "You're showing signs of depression. You used to have quite a fiery temper, but the recent events have left you feeling frustrated, causing symptoms like this to appear. Just now, I deliberately angered you to let you vent the anger in your heart, and then spanked you to promote blood circulation. That should make you feel almost better."

At this, he waved his hand, "Of course, you don't need to thank me. I did it all for Jing Yi's sake, and also, thanks for sending me a message."

"You jerk!" Lin Wan's face turned red, a hot sensation spread through her, and she began to feel itchy all over. Huffing, she glared at Jiang Chen before quickly running back to her car.

Watching Jiang Chen ride off on his electric scooter from inside the car, she suddenly felt an unusual sensation in her heart. She stared blankly at his departing figure, her gaze growing tender without her realizing.

Jiang Chen had no idea that spanking Lin Wan had actually sparked some feelings in her. After parting ways with Lin Wan, he went straight back to The Four Seas and headed to the chairman's office door, hesitating for a moment before knocking.

"Come in!"

A shout came from inside, and Jiang Chen opened the door and walked in.

"Jiang Chen?" Gong Lin greeted him with pleasure upon seeing him enter.

Jiang Chen looked at Gong Lin apologetically, "Sorry, Gong Lin, about that time..."

"No worries, I understand." Gong Lin waved her hand with easy grace.

Jiang Chen smiled apologetically and then said softly, "Gong Lin, the recent issues with my family have been really getting to me, and I've been thinking about switching to a fresh work environment to change my mindset. What do you think?"

"Of course." Gong Lin smiled slightly, "I can meet all your needs, even if it's me you want."

Jiang Chen was taken aback, somewhat at a loss as he looked at Gong Lin.

"Haha, just kidding, you took it seriously!" Gong Lin laughed heartily, rolling her eyes at Jiang Chen as a hint of disappointment flashed quickly in her eyes.

"Alright, let's stop teasing you." Covering up her disappointment, Gong Lin said with a laugh, "Actually, the general manager of Sihai Entertainment under our company has resigned. You can take over as the interim general manager. It's a chance for you to try something new, to see if you like it, and to take your mind off things."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a chuckle, "You scared me there. Don't play those kinds of jokes on me in the future."

After nodding in agreement, Jiang Chen accepted the offer, "Alright, I'll give the entertainment company a try. I won't disturb you any longer."

After a word with Gong Lin, Jiang Chen left the office.

Looking at Jiang Chen's retreating back, Gong Lin muttered to herself, "What if I hadn't said it was a joke and you had run away? Jiang Chen, sister won't give up. One day, you'll realize I'm a better match for you than Ye Jingyi!"

…

The next day, at Sihai Entertainment Company.

Early in the morning, Ye Yùwán and a friend arrived at the company's entrance.

Ye Yùwán had always dreamed of being on stage. She loved singing since she was young, and today she had arranged to go to Jinhai, a well-known Sihai Entertainment place, for an audition with her friend.

"Lu Lu, do you think we can pass the audition?" Ye Yùwán asked her companion, lacking confidence.

Lu Lu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, with our looks, we definitely won't have any problems."

"Eh?"

Just then, Ye Yùwán suddenly let out a soft exclamation and looked towards the parking lot not far away.

There, a man was standing next to his electric scooter.

"What's wrong?" Lu Lu looked over curiously and then sneered contemptuously, "What's so interesting about a loser on an electric scooter?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Yùwán was a bit displeased, "That's my cousin-in-law, Ye Jingyi's husband, Jiang Chen."
