“Shengyu, this person wants to see you regarding Mr. Jin,” Xu Lin said, aware of Ruan Shengyu's boundaries. She dared not overlook anything related to Jin Chengyan.
So when this woman mentioned something about Jin Chengyan, she had no choice but to let her in.
At that moment, Ruan Shengyu wore a relaxed expression. She looked up with a charming smile at the newcomer, recalling that she had seen this person before.
“Miss Ni, I wonder what brings you here,” Ruan Shengyu said, gesturing for Xu Lin to leave.
Once they were alone, Ni Yue got straight to the point. “Miss Ruan, I can be direct. I know about your relationship with Jin Shao, but he has found a new love, and that new love is our common enemy.”
Ruan Shengyu feigned surprise; after all, she was unaware of this woman's background and could not reveal her own so quickly.
“I know you might not believe me, but let me tell you that Jin Shao's new love is the Bankrupt Heiress, Jono.” After being swindled out of five hundred thousand by Jin Chengyan, Ni Yue grew increasingly suspicious. With her extensive social circle and connections in both the underworld and legitimate society, she discovered that Jin Chengyan and Jono were getting closer.
What kind of relationship could develop between a man and a woman who spent so much time together?
She was even more surprised to learn that Ruan Shengyu had been Jin Chengyan's girlfriend before she became famous but had kept it under wraps due to the high standards of the Jin family.
The smile faded from Ruan Shengyu's face. She knew that Jin Chengyan's new love was Jono; over the years, there had never been a shortage of women around him.
However, this was the first time Jin Chengyan seemed genuinely invested in a woman, and now he was growing increasingly distant from her. This inevitably caused Ruan Shengyu concern.
“Miss Ruan, you want your man to be devoted to you, while all I want is for Jono never to rise again. We can work together for our mutual benefit.”
Ruan Shengyu did not respond. Although she understood that Jin Chengyan had some feelings for Jono, she wanted to believe in his feelings for herself.
Those were just fleeting moments; one day, Jin Chengyan would return to her side.
"Miss Ni, I think you've got the wrong person," Ruan Shengyu said, unwilling to use such a method to win back Jin Chengyan.
Ni Yue made a disappointed expression. "What a pity. I originally wanted to wish you and Jin Shao a lifetime of happiness, but now that Jono has intervened, I take back my words."
After saying this, she turned away regretfully, preparing to leave.
Ruan Shengyu thought about the photos on her phone, reflecting on the affection between Jin Chengyan and Jono. She called out to Ni Yue, "Ni Yue—"
With her back to Ruan Shengyu, Ni Yue revealed a sly smile.

"Jin Chengyan, what is your relationship with Ruan Shengyu?" Since that day, Jono had been curious but hadn't found the opportunity to ask.
Today, noticing that Jin Chengyan seemed in good spirits during lunch, Jono blurted it out.
Jin Chengyan's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment before returning to normal. "I didn't expect you to be so nosy," he replied without directly answering.
"As the legitimate wife, shouldn't I ask my husband about his relationship with other women?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Chengyan laughed.
It was the first time Jono had referred to herself as Jin Chengyan's wife in such a manner.
"She is the person I care about the most," Jin Chengyan did not hide his feelings from Jono regarding this matter.
Jono's heart sank. Although he had already guessed it, hearing him say it out loud was still shocking.
"You probably want to ask me why I haven't made it public with her and why I need to marry you."
Jono nodded.
"Because she doesn't love me enough, so I should do something to make her choose."
This was the first time Jono had seen the invincible Jin Chengyan wear such a desolate expression, all because of a woman named Ruan Shengyu.
"So you marrying me is to see if she'll be upset?"
Jin Chengyan nodded.
Jono's heart felt heavy. Why would she be upset?
