ing City, over a thousand kilometers. If she drove straight through, it would take a day and night, but she planned to take her time. She wanted to continue treating it like a trip with her mother, so...Han Li nodded. Like her, so many years of environmental and life changes had carved out her current appearance, which was very different from when she was young.

The old woman looked at the photo for a long time, her eyes glistening with tears. She was filled with gratitude towards Han Li: "Thank goodness you didn't give up on him. Without you, he would probably get worse and worse as he lived. With you and the child here, even if I died now, I would have no worries and could die in peace."

Han Li held her hand and said, "Take good care of yourself and don't think too much. When the time is right, I will bring Han Zhao Yi back to see you. For now, please forgive me, I can't bring him here."

She has her plans, and goals clear in mind, steadily walking towards her objectives.

As for Zhao Tingxing, she was methodical and determined to succeed.

Is it embarrassing to chase after men

What's there to be ashamed of

Regardless of whether he was the only man she could see, or whether he was Han Chaoying's biological father, just looking at Zhao Tingxing as a person, how many men could match his abilities

People, after all, are realistic. If she looks back many years later and he is down on his luck, would she still be interested

It probably wouldn't, but I would feel guilty, and then to compensate for the youthful friendship, I would give him some money, and we would forget about it.

But Zhao Tingxing, always following the path she had envisioned, step by step, moved towards glory, becoming a man who could stand equal to her.

She deserves him.

He deserves her too;

That's all.

As for his bad temper now, she’d tasted his warmth and knew that someday, sooner or later, he would warm up again. She never worried about that.

A relationship's warmth and coldness are felt most deeply by the individual involved. She knows what she's doing and doesn't need anyone's understanding.

The old woman in the bed nodded: "No need to rush, take your time. Looking at photos and videos is the same."

The old woman had originally been very worried that Han Li wouldn't be able to handle Zhao Ting, or that she would lose heart and give up. Now, seeing her determined look, the old woman felt truly content. This life, she was satisfied with it.

When Han Li came out of the ward, there was no sign of Zhao Ting. Upon inquiry, she learned that he had rushed to the airport for Mozhou.

"Was the bank loan approved"

"Alright, it'll be credited within these two days."

Han Li bid farewell to the old woman and hurried over to Gu Ruandong's side.

He was on set with his wife, the sky outside was turning dark, but he looked as if nothing bothered him. Even Han Li, usually so composed, felt a pang of anxiety at this point.

Gu Ruandong stood up calmly as she approached, walking out without disrupting the filming. Han Li followed behind him out of the set.

"Zhao Tingxing got the loan and went back to Senzhou." Han Li originally thought Gu Ruandong would stop the bank from lending, because once Zhao Tingxing got the loan, Senbing would probably be under his name.

Gu Ruandong was surprisingly calm: “I know.”

"Did you do this on purpose"

"No, this bank already has a partnership with him. I can't interfere."

Han Li really couldn't figure out Gu Ruan Dong's plan. This time, if Zhao Ting Xing got the Sen Bing Group, his career would surely flourish.

Gu Ruandong didn't explain, only saying: "Losing a Senbing Group doesn't affect me much."

Han Li was shocked: "You planned to give it all up to him from the beginning"

Gu Ruandong nodded: "The terms we discussed before, I will fulfill them, but not now, it takes time."

Han Li stood still, glanced at Gu Ruandong, then at Lu Yaoyao who was seriously acting not far away. He said, "Mr. Gu should understand my feelings. I don't want to waste any more time waiting. Let's just end our cooperation here."

It's not that she doesn't trust Gu Ruandong, but this time with the Senbing Group, she thought it would be a turning point. She had all her backup plans figured out and prepared for them. But apparently, Gu Ruandong and she are not on the same wavelength. He has his own strategies, and she can no longer keep up. And looking at the current trend, Gu Ruandong doesn't need her anymore either, so there's no need for her to continue.

Gu Ruandong saw that she was serious, pondered for a moment, and then didn't try to persuade her any longer.

Han Li said: “Rest assured, no matter what kind of relationship I have with Zhao Ting, I won't tell him anything you want to do.”

Gu Ruandong glanced at Han Li and said, "Secretary Han is very smart. Leaving at the right time is a wise choice."

What Gu Ruandong wants to do is simple: he wants Zhao Tingxing to pay for his actions. He kidnapped Yaoyao, impersonated Dan An, causing their operation to fail, etc. Gu Ruandong has recorded all of these things. So, he wants Zhao Tingxing to be ruined, no, to be precise, he wants Zhao Tingxing to go bankrupt because Zhao Tingxing doesn't have a good reputation, only wealth.

And Han Li, initially had the same idea as Gu Ruandong, wanting Zhao Tingxing to have nothing. When he humiliated her with that contract, she knew that only when he had nothing left would he be able to calm down and look at her.

Otherwise, given his personality, he would have certainly concluded that she was after his wealth, especially with Han Zhao Yi already around, he would have assumed she was using the child to get closer to him.

His career was gone, but it didn't matter because she believed that with their abilities, they could make a fortune again quickly. At that time, it would be a business built together by the two of them, and with Han Zhao Yi joining in, the three of them could live together completely without any barriers.

Yes, she had thought well at the time, so when Gu Ruandong found her, she didn't think much and quickly decided to cooperate and bring Zhao Tingxing down together.

But now, she says, she doesn't want to collaborate anymore, doesn't want to waste time waiting. Actually, it's all an excuse; she wants to use this opportunity to stop.

Zhao Tingxing can lose everything, but she cannot continue to be involved. Otherwise, even if Zhao Tingxing has her in his heart, he will never forgive her.

Now, she's backing off, withdrawing. It's the best time.

Gu Ruandong plays with people's hearts. He sees through her, that's why he praises her intelligence.

Things had reached this point, and Gu Ruandong didn't need to continue hiding in the southwest. After enough smoke bombs were thrown, he decided to return to Senzhou to handle business matters.

Yao Yao's play here isn't finished yet. Knowing he had to go back, she initially wished he would leave quickly. But when the time came for him to depart, she became reluctant and clung to him nonstop. Even Xiao Guru wasn't as clingy as her. He only stayed in Cui Ping's arms, completely indifferent as he watched him get into the car and drive away.

Gu Ruandong didn't have time to pay attention to him, focusing on comforting his wife.

"After I finish work, I'll come back to keep you company."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, it was just a bit of reluctance. In fact, she only had a few more performances in the southwest. The other plays could be filmed back in Senzhou, but she deliberately didn't tell him.

Also going back with them was Lu Kuò. He had been running between the southwest regions of Senzhou recently, and this time he happened to be returning with Gu Ruǎndōng. He got into the car first and saw Lù Yāoyáo acting spoiled at the door, making him cringe. "Come on, are you done If you don't hurry up, you'll miss your flight!" he called out to her.

The next two days will be one chapter each.

As for Sister Li, one can only say that people are diverse and so are emotions. There is no uniform standard.to Senzhou. She began contacting the teammates Yi MuYang had worked with, under the guise of wanting to write a piece about their experiences. She wanted to know what Yi MuYang's behavior was like in...
