On the day I was kicked out of my parents’ home, I had a flash marriage with the richest man.

Enning hung up the phone, hesitated for a few seconds, and informed Jiang Fei to kick Bao Xiaoting out of the company's main group and various small business groups.

Bao Xiaoting is no longer a company employee and should not stay in the company group.

It's not that people are cold-hearted, but to protect the company's rights and interests and confidentiality as much as possible, and to stabilize people's hearts to prevent Bao Xiaoting from secretly instigating everyone.

Grandpa Mu sighed, "A needle is forged a thousand times, and it is made into a thread. The eyes are on the buttocks, and they only recognize the clothes and not the people."

Gu Ruoyan chuckled, took Grandpa Mu's arm, helped him into the cabin, and sat down in a seat by the window with a good view.

"Mr. Zhang is such a bad person. He came here to discuss cooperation, but he did such a shameless thing in someone else's home! He kidnapped someone else's employees! With such a weak self-control in his private life, what achievements can he make in his career? I told Gu Yan that he couldn't sign a contract with such a person, but he didn't listen to me! He signed the contract early in the morning."

Gu Ruoyan felt somewhat indignant for Bao Xiaoting.

They are all women, and they couldn't bear to watch Bao Xiaoting being cheated.

But Bao Xiaoting didn't know what was good for her. She was blind and didn't listen to anything. She only cared about the petty profits in front of her and was dizzy with the big pie in the sky offered to her.

Grandpa Mu patted Gu Ruoyan's hand gently, "You can't say that. Xiao Yan is looking at the cooperation between the two parties and the help that the other party can bring to him! Today's society may seem chaotic, but the relationship between men and women is consensual. If one party is really unwilling, they will resist to death. How many people will force it? Most of them are like Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai, one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten!"

"Boss Zhang has a bad character. In my opinion, that girl called Ting is not a good person either. They are birds of a feather and hit it off right away. It's not just one person's problem, it's both of them!"

"Otherwise, why didn't Mr. Zhang succeed on others?"

"Although it's not fair to kidnap someone else's employees, there are always two sides to every coin! If such an employee is not kidnapped by Mr. Zhang, he will be kidnapped by someone else sooner or later!"

"It's better to be kidnapped by other circles in other industries than being kidnapped by our peers. The loss to us will be less!"

"Good fortunes are closely related to misfortunes, and misfortunes are closely related to good fortunes. In my opinion, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing."

Gu Ruoyan was amused by Grandpa Mu and leaned gently on his shoulder. "Grandpa, I didn't expect that you, at your age, can see through the minds of young people so thoroughly! I don't want you to say you are old again, you are still young!"

Grandpa Mu was so amused that he laughed out loud, "Grandpa is really old! I just understand one thing, people's hearts and society are changing, and one environment shapes a group of people! We can't be stubborn in our own circle of cognition and refuse to accept new things and social development! Only the fittest will survive. Grandpa doesn't want to be an old stubborn man!"

Although Gu Ruoyan was chatting with her grandfather, she realized a truth from his words.

Society is changing, the people and things around us are changing, and people’s state of mind must also change accordingly.

She is no longer the Gu Ruoyan who only wanted to have a warm home and live a peaceful life.

After eight years of love, she once thought that her life partner would only be Han Bing, and that all she would have to deal with were Han Bing's relatives and family. No matter how they exploited her, she would treat them as her closest relatives.

So much so that after her divorce, she was still addicted to the fact that human hearts have become so corrupt that they can use eight years of false disguise. She no longer dared to easily trust new people around her, for fear of being deceived again.

She often wondered why people had to be hypocritical. Wouldn't it be better to just say what you want and what you want to do?

Why would they use such a crooked heart to deceive someone who is willing to believe in them?

She often felt that she was too stupid and too naive. Didn't she have any responsibility when a mistake was made?

Over time, she became more and more sensitive and inferior, and she dared not open her heart easily.

Grandpa Ke Mu was right, people and things were changing, and her state of mind had to change accordingly.

If she always traps herself in the quagmire and fails to adapt to the changing environment, only destruction will await her.

Pei Jiayin was also on this ship.

This was the last boat leaving the island, and there were no other guests except Enning and his group.

She and Meng Zhidong boarded the boat one after another. Neither of them spoke to the other and their seats were far apart, as if they were two complete strangers.

Pei Jiayin got up early.

She felt severe aches all over, as if she had had a high fever and was seriously ill last night.

She forced herself to get up and wanted to return home early as there was an important meeting at the company.

But as soon as she got up, she received a call from her father, asking her what she did last night?

Pei Jianguo heard some bad rumors that Pei Jiayin and Meng Zhidong were together.

No matter how anxious Pei Jianguo is about getting his daughter married, he will not marry her to a divorced man with children.

He scolded Pei Jiayin severely.

Pei Jiayin explained the whole story, and Pei Jianguo finally calmed down.

Meng Zhidong also received some teasing comments from people close to him, asking him when he started dating the mayor's daughter and how he managed to keep it a secret.

Last night, Meng Zhidong took the unconscious Pei Jiayin away. Afterwards, no one saw these two people, and rumors started spreading about them.

Meng Zhidong and Pei Jiayin were worried about encountering this group of gossiping guests, so they deliberately avoided them and took the last boat.

They were all in a very upset mood.

Obviously nothing happened to them, but people described it as if they had seen it with their own eyes, and they couldn't explain it to them.

Doesn't it get darker and darker as it is drawn?

Enning asked the waiter on the boat to pour Pei Jiayin a glass of juice so that she could calm down.

Pei Jiayin received the juice, turned around and nodded to En Ning behind her to thank her. She inadvertently saw Meng Zhidong sitting at the back, and quickly looked away, tidying up her long hair helplessly.

Meng Zhidong looked very helpless when he met Pei Jiayin's eyes for a moment, and almost spilled the mineral water in his hand.

Ivy held Mu Mu and sat next to Meng Zhidong, and quickly turned Mu Mu to another direction to avoid being splashed with water.

Ever since Meng Zhidong and Pei Jiayin boarded the ship, Ivy could tell that something was wrong with them.

When he heard Ji Yunxi gossiping with Gu Ruoyan about what happened last night, his brows furrowed.

Last night, after Autumn took Mu Mu back to the room, Ivy went back to take care of Mu Mu soon after. I don’t know what happened last night.

He stretched his neck and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between Ji Yunxi and Gu Ruoyan. He only understood half of it. He handed Mu Mu to Autumn, who was eager to hug Mu Mu, and leaned over to ask.

"What happened last night? Did anything serious happen?"

Ji Yunxi and Gu Ruoyan looked up at Ivy and both stopped talking, which made Ivy's brows furrowed even deeper in anxiety.

"What happened?"

Gu Ruoyan pursed her lips and looked at Ji Yunxi, not knowing what to say.

Pei Jiayin was not feeling well last night, apparently someone had tricked her.

If Pei Jiayin hadn't been worried about falling into the trap of someone with ulterior motives, she wouldn't have stayed in Meng Zhidong's room all night without daring to go back to her own room, leaving Meng Zhidong to stay with her the whole time.

The Chu family must give Pei Jiayin an explanation for harming people at such an important occasion as the Chu family’s Hundred Days Banquet.

Chu Lichuan retrieved the surveillance footage from before and after the banquet.

I already knew the truth of the matter. The glass of wine was originally for Ivy, but Ivy didn't drink it, so the waiter put the glass of wine back on the drink counter.

Doudou stole the glass of wine and wanted to give it to Xinxin, but it was taken away by Pei Jiayin.

Gu Ruoyan put away her phone and said to Ai Wei, "You'd better not listen to women's gossip!"

The corners of Ai Wei's lips twitched, and he glanced at Ji Yunxi, "Then you guys chat."
