From her bloodshot eyes, Ye Yunshen saw anger, madness… and something else.
But he still said calmly, “It will all be repaid—everything will be repaid.”
“What?” Xia Anran was stunned.
At that moment, the three heiresses stared at Ye Yunshen together, their hearts pounding.
Ye Yunshen lifted his head and smiled naturally at them. “Miss Lin, I owe you a priceless life-saving pill—I will return it. Miss Xia, your father endured three slaps from Master Wu for me—I will make sure Master Wu returns them.”
Lin Pharmaceuticals was a medical giant with great renown in Sucheng. Lin Ruoxi had once been set to inherit the company. But to save Ye Yunshen, she defied her family and stole the clan’s treasured life-saving pill, giving it to the dying Ye Yunshen. That’s how he survived.
The price was her being heavily punished, and the family inheritance going to her cousin.
But Lin Ruoxi hadn’t cared. As long as Ye Yunshen could live, nothing else mattered.
To deal with the powerful figure Ye Yunshen had offended, they had not only paid 1 billion yuan to pull strings but also called in countless powerful figures to mediate. Among them, Xia Anran’s father had approached Sucheng’s underground boss, Master Wu, and was slapped three times in public—becoming a laughingstock.
The three heiresses had each helped him. Ye Yunshen remembered it all.
So now, he promised to repay them one by one.
But Xia Anran and Lin Ruoxi became even more enraged by his calmness.
“Repay? With what?” Xia Anran roared.
“You think you can get another life-saving pill? Or get Master Wu to let my dad slap him three times?”
“If I had known Awen would return, I never would’ve stolen that pill for you!” Lin Ruoxi was crying now, her eyes red as she looked at Cheng Zewen’s pale face. “It should’ve been saved for Awen—his illness would’ve been cured already!”
She closed her eyes tightly, tears falling down her cheeks.
From her expression, Ye Yunshen saw deep regret.
He forced a smile, calm and sorrowful. “You don’t need to regret it. What you’ve done for me—I’ll pay it all back.”
Whether it was returning the pill or slapping Master Wu, he could do it.
All he needed was time.
The Nine-layered Mystic Arts was his greatest backing and confidence.
“Heh…”
But Xia Anran and Lin Ruoxi didn’t speak again. They just sneered coldly at him.
Clearly, they didn’t believe a word.
If Ye Yunshen were really that capable, he wouldn’t have needed their help three years ago.
“Ruoxi, don’t say that. No one knows what the future holds,” Cheng Zewen suddenly stepped in, pretending to be weak while trying to smooth things over. He looked at Ye Yunshen with seemingly sincere words but provocative eyes. “Qingqiu, Ruoxi, and Anran—for the past three years, Brother Shen has been by your sides. I’m really grateful to him… it’s as if I never left.”
All your effort over the past three years, and now that I’m back, I’ve taken everything with ease.
“Enough. Since Awen has spoken, let’s not pursue this any further,” Shen Qingqiu said coldly, looking at Ye Yunshen. “We won’t hold it against you for stalking us, or even hitting Awen. After a month of cooling off, you can come back. Do you really think you can live without us?”
With that, they left with Cheng Zewen.
To them, everything Ye Yunshen had done was just venting frustration.
His eyes red with anger, his violent outburst—those were just signs of his resentment.
But no matter how angry he got, they still believed they could control his emotions.
That was enough for them.
Ye Yunshen, however, sneered coldly.
Shen Qingqiu didn’t even know he had already severed ties with the Shen family.
Had Uncle Shen and Aunt Kong not told her?
Whatever their reasons, Ye Yunshen didn’t care anymore.
Whether she knew or not didn’t matter—he just had to wait for the one-month cooling-off period to end.
Then, it would be a real divorce.
“Shen Yunshen’s been losing himself these past few days.”
“He was already acting off at the hospital, but now it’s worse!”
Inside Villa No.9.
The three heiresses were sitting together, discussing what to do about Ye Yunshen.
To them, Ye Yunshen’s change in appearance, moving out of the Shen home, following them, acting out, and even hitting Cheng Zewen—all of it was him venting his dissatisfaction.
They were fed up with it.
Shen Qingqiu said nothing and directly called her mother, Kong Fengyi.
As soon as the call connected, she snapped, “Mom! Look at what you did! You told Shen Yunshen where I was—he followed me!”
“What? We didn’t!” Kong Fengyi was dumbfounded. They didn’t even know where Ye Yunshen was—how could they have leaked anything?
“Mom, stop lying! You told him, didn’t you?! Don’t tell him my whereabouts anymore!” Shen Qingqiu insisted angrily.
Kong Fengyi was completely helpless. She couldn’t even argue.
Still, when the topic turned to Ye Yunshen, Kong Fengyi became worried. She warned her daughter, “Qingqiu, pay attention to your surroundings these days. If that man’s people appear, tell me immediately!”
“Who?”
Shen Qingqiu didn’t react right away.
“The important man Yunshen offended. Keep an eye out for his people!” Kong Fengyi reminded her.
“Why? Did something happen?”
“No, Mom’s just being cautious,” Kong Fengyi brushed it off and hung up.
But Shen Qingqiu sneered coldly. If that man’s people really showed up, even better.
Let Shen Yunshen realize that without them, he couldn’t even stay alive.
Then he would obediently return, apologize to them, and apologize to Awen.
Meanwhile, in another room, Cheng Zewen stood before a mirror, tending to his wound through clenched teeth.
“Hiss…” Even a light touch made him inhale sharply in pain.
Thinking back to Ye Yunshen’s punch, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
That bastard dared to hit me…
Cheng Zewen’s face twitched violently where the punch had landed, as if he’d suffered the ultimate humiliation.
“Qingqiu, we need to hurry up and find that blood donor. I don’t think I’ll last much longer,” he said through gritted teeth.
After being punched, the desire to eliminate Ye Yunshen burned fiercely in his heart.
He was determined—once the mysterious donor was found, he would act against Ye Yunshen immediately.
“Almost there. People are already looking. We should hear something soon,” Shen Qingqiu replied.
They were even more anxious than Cheng Zewen to find the real donor.
That only added to their frustration.
“It’s all because of Shen Yunshen!”
All three of them blamed Ye Yunshen for everything.
His rebellious behavior today left them furious.
To prevent anything like this from happening again—and to remind Ye Yunshen of his place—Shen Qingqiu said coldly, “To shock him and teach him a lesson, I’ve decided to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and sign the divorce application.”
“What?” The others were stunned.
Shen Qingqiu continued, “Before, when I said we were divorcing, it was just talk. The cooling-off period only begins once the divorce application is signed. I was just venting before. But with the way Shen Yunshen’s been acting… I have to get serious. Once the application is signed, I believe he’ll come to his senses.”
