"Hey, wife, can you listen to my explanation?" This was the most patient Xiao Tianyu had ever been. If it were anyone else treating him this way, Xiao Tianyu would have given them a slap by now.

He had no choice, because this woman genuinely liked him and gave him a sense of home.

"What else is there to explain!" Shangguan Biyue snorted coldly, "Are you signing or not?"

"No!" Xiao Tianyu refused.

"Suit yourself!" Shangguan Biyue stood up, picked up the land approval document, and prepared to leave, which made Xiao Tianyu feel frustrated, so he asked, "Hey~ what are you trying to do?"

"Return the land approval to Tianyu International!" Shangguan Biyue said coldly. Because it wasn't hers, Shangguan Biyue wouldn't take it. Otherwise, back at Xingyu Cafe, Shangguan Biyue would have already accepted that unlimited swipe gold card.

Even at Xingyu Cafe, Shangguan Biyue felt that Xiao Tianyu had conspired with the president of Tianyu International beforehand, first by opening some kind of supreme suite, and then by giving some gold card, just to win her favor.

Otherwise, based on Xiao Tianyu's identity, how could he possibly have the right to open a supreme suite?

"Returning the approval is fine, I'll go with you!" Xiao Tianyu said.

"No need!" Shangguan Biyue directly refused, "Go again, do you want to trap me once more?"

"..." Xiao Tianyu felt speechless, and so Xiao Tianyu said, "It seems that even if I say I'm the chief executive officer of Tianyu International today, you won't believe it!"

Tianyu International's chief executive officer?

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue laughed, her smile was cold and sarcastic, obviously not believing Xiao Tianyu's words.

Did he think that just because his name contains the words Tianyu, he is the chief executive officer of Tianyu International? How could that be? Did he really take her for a blind fool? Nowadays, who in the world doesn't know that the president of Tianyu International is that sleazy fat guy, Zhu Wuneng?

So, Shangguan Biyue gave a cold laugh, "Can you stop saying such boring things?"

Having said that, Shangguan Biyue ignored him, picked up the land approval, and headed to the front door.

After opening the door, she turned back and said coldly to Xiao Tianyu, "I hope you're gone before I come back. I don't want to see you again, OK!"

As her voice fell, Shangguan Biyue changed into high heels, grabbed her purse, and left the villa directly.

Xiao Tianyu knew that this woman wouldn't believe him, he mocked himself inwardly, realizing that without concrete action, this woman would never forgive him.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu picked up the documents on the table and, with a few scribbles, signed his messy name using a pen.

Then, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Tianyu's mouth, "I hope you won't want this document back when you return!"

Having spoken, Xiao Tianyu also stood up and left the villa.

...

Ye Qingcheng's Villa.

Ye Qingcheng, carrying a purse and wearing high heels, approached the door. The automatic sensing lock beeped twice, and soon a system voice came through, "Welcome home, owner!"

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng's face was filled with a sense of desolation, and she no longer had that once imposing aura. Clearly, since the end of the auction, Ye Qingcheng had been greatly impacted; she didn't expect that at the auction site, the husband she had always considered shameless actually acquired that piece of land through Biyue International.

Originally, she had the opportunity to become one of the owners of that land, but unfortunately, she outright rejected the opportunity, and what rejecting meant, Ye Qingcheng understood better than anyone.

Upon entering the villa, Ye Tianhao put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and said blandly, "Back?"

"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded.

"Are you tired?" Ye Tianhao asked.

He didn't mention anything about the auction, clearly knowing the outcome already and not wishing to bring it up, as he understood that Ye Qingcheng was feeling even worse than he was, especially since Qingcheng International was about to crumble at her hands.

"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded, "Dad, why don't you ask me about the auction results?"

"There's no need to ask, I've already seen it in the news!" Ye Tianhao smiled lightly, "If Qingcheng International goes bankrupt, so be it. It's no big deal. With my daughter's ability, she will surely make a comeback!"

After speaking, Ye Tianhao showed an indifferent expression, but he was acutely aware of how challenging making a comeback would be.

"Dad, I'm sorry... really sorry, it's because I was so arrogant before that put Qingcheng International in such a dire situation..." Before she could finish, Ye Qingcheng choked and fell headlong into Ye Tianhao's arms, crying and wailing.

This could be said to be the first time Ye Qingcheng cried since she became the president of Qingcheng International.

Even when the sky seemed to collapse before her, she had never shed a tear.

"Child, I'm not blaming you, really not blaming you. Even if Qingcheng International is truly gone, at worst, we'll sell a few houses here, pay off the bank loans, and return to the countryside. With your capabilities, supporting me should be more than enough, so there's no need to be too sad!" Ye Tianhao patted Ye Qingcheng on the back, starting to comfort her.

"No~ This is the foundation you built with your own hands, I am not willing to give up. I will surely bring Qingcheng International back to life!" Ye Qingcheng wiped her tears away, showing a stubborn expression; Ye Qingcheng was not one to easily fall.

"Yes~ Dad believes in you!" Ye Tianhao nodded, knowing that Ye Qingcheng needed encouragement now, so he continued, "Dad still wants to advise you, if you want to bring Qingcheng International back to life, Xiao Tianyu is crucial. Even if your relationship isn't going well, after all, you are husband and wife, perhaps..."

"Dad, don't mention him, I have nothing to do with him!" Ye Qingcheng directly refused.

"How can you have nothing to do with him, he's your husband!"

"I said before, my marriage with him is just based on money, nothing more!"

"Why are you so stubborn!" Ye Tianhao sighed slightly, "In what way is Tianyu not good enough for you? He has both talent and looks. If you two reconcile and operate Qingcheng International together, I believe Qingcheng International will go further!"

"Impossible!" Ye Qingcheng shook her head, "He is just a despicable person. If at the auction he showed me the document and told me he could represent Biyue International, I would have surely signed it, but he didn't. He just asked me if I would sign, and even before that, he had already started scheming against me!"

Ye Qingcheng's thinking, though a bit extreme, wasn't entirely off. If Xiao Tianyu had first shown her the document signed by Shangguan Biyue, Ye Qingcheng would have signed without hesitation, allowing Xiao Tianyu to manage all the funds of Qingcheng International, but Xiao Tianyu didn't do so. He first asked her to sign, and only afterward showed the document signed by Shangguan Biyue.

"Can't you see it's your own fault?"

Ye Tianhao showed a trace of disappointment, "Tell me, at that time, weren't you in the same situation as Gu Lingyue? Why could Gu Lingyue sign without hesitation, but you couldn't? This proves you lack trust. You always think Xiao Tianyu would take the money and leave, but the truth is, he really used Gu Lingyue's and Shangguan Biyue's money to win Great Ao!"
