“I’ll go call Sis-in-law over; you should have a good talk with her.” Fu Yan was about to go out to look for someone.

Ye Qilan finally spoke up, “Don’t look for her. The issues between her and me can’t be resolved by just talking.”

Su Hongxing simply didn’t love him, that was all; what was her fault? After talking with her, was she supposed to fall in love with him?

Her heart was crushed by his own hands, beyond repair, a result of his own making from those years ago, he blamed no one but himself.

“So what do you want? You’re always so indifferent with Sis-in-law, but when you see her with Xiao Ji, you get jealous and angry all by yourself. If you don’t make things clear, how is Sis-in-law supposed to know what you’re thinking?” Fu Yan sat down beside Ye Qilan. “Fourth bro, if there’s something, talk it out with Sis-in-law. When it comes to the ways of interacting with women, you understand better than I do, and you should grasp the logic I’m speaking of even more.”

As a bachelor, he was used to a carefree lifestyle, switching girlfriends as if they were on a revolving door.

Only after experiencing the incident with Liu Qingyin did he finally settle down.

He himself didn’t know how much he felt for Liu Qingyin, but one thing was certain, he had indeed developed feelings for that woman.

Unfortunately, he was powerless; he knew she was in Liu Yuan’s hands but was unable to rescue her.

That made Fu Yan feel pretty useless about himself.

“Join me for a couple more drinks,” Ye Qilan toasted Fu Yan.

Having no way to deal with Ye Qilan, Fu Yan downed his drink in one go, and both of them proceeded to drink, taking turns, glass for glass.

As for Su Hongxing, she quietly ate a few bites of her food and, seeing that Xiao Ji was not talking, became somewhat irritated, “What exactly did you bring me here for?”

Right after she had left the company building, Xiao Ji had found her and dragged her into his car. She was unwilling at first, but he told her he was in a pretty bad state recently and had a lot to say to her.

Seeing the despondent Xiao Ji, she eventually softened and got into his car, instructing Xiaohe to take Little Pudding back to Qingmu Garden.

“Xingxing, my company is barely surviving; it may declare bankruptcy soon,” Xiao Ji said quietly.

In fact, there wasn’t much to regret, it was just that he wanted to see Su Hongxing when he was at his lowest.

Su Hongxing’s heart sank a little, “Weren’t things going well before?”

In her mind, perhaps only Ye Qilan had such capability, to easily corner Xiao Ji into a dead end?

Ye Qilan had even managed Ye Xiandong, a notoriously tough character, and without Liu Yuan as a business partner, Xiao Ji being pushed to the brink by Ye Qilan was certainly no accident.

“As much as I don’t want to admit it, on the business field, Ye Qilan truly is a behemoth; he can swallow any rival he wants to, including me,” Xiao Ji said with a bitter smile.

The business empire that he had spent years building was easily crushed by Ye Qilan’s hands. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, he knew he had lost thoroughly.

Su Hongxing didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

Although she didn’t know the specifics of how Xiao Ji had risen to success, she knew that he hadn’t had it easy over the years. He aimed to start his own business during college and had worked hard for many years to achieve his current results, only to have everything overturned by Ye Qilan. Truth be told, she felt sorry for him.

No wonder Xiao Ji hadn’t come looking for her recently; it must have been because he was overwhelmed with company troubles, right?

“The company’s collapse could also be a blessing. I’ve been toiling away for the business lately, without any personal time. From now on, I can turn my attention to pursuing you—”
