Jiang Yiqing looked confused, even checking his phone. It was indeed an unknown number. Now he felt more confident, popping a grape into his mouth before asking, "Who is this?"

Mei Qian's throat tightened. She had been nervous just now, worried that Jiang Yiqing would hang up the moment he recognized her voice. But now it seemed like she had overthought it.

The other person didn't even recognize her voice.

Mei Qian was pissed but could only hold it in, saying, "It's me, your Aunt Mei."

"Oh, I don't have an aunt," Jiang Yiqing replied disinterestedly, ready to hang up the phone. However, Mei Qian quickly added, "I have something important to discuss with you!"

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"

Mei Qian hurriedly continued, "Your father wants to sign a contract with you to sever ties. He also wants to make a public statement online."

She could practically hear Jiang Yiqing laughing on the other end, his tone almost eager. "Oh, really? I have time right now. You guys really thought this through."

After Mei Qian's reminder, Jiang Yiqing remembered that last time, he had been so focused on cutting off his emotional ties that he'd forgotten about the more practical, worldly connections.

Although this was easy to solve, nothing made him feel more secure than signing a severance agreement.

So, as planned, they met at the same restaurant as before. Mei Qian didn't really want to go, given how awkward things had been last time, but Jiang Yiqing insisted, saying, "I didn't even get to eat the steak we ordered last time. I have to try it today."

Mei Qian was speechless. Of all times, he was still thinking about food.

She could only comfort herself that Jiang Yiqing clearly didn't have any intention of reconnecting with the Zhou family and was even eager to cut ties with them. That saved her from worrying about him fighting for the inheritance with Zhou Yuwen.

Jiang Yiqing had initially thought that Mei Qian was going to pull some stunt again, but to his surprise, her attitude had completely changed.

"You wanted to try the steak from this place, right? I've already ordered it. It's perfect timing," Mei Qian said with a bright smile, looking almost overly friendly.

Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but shudder, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms. He glanced at the steak on the table and hesitated, asking, "You didn't poison it, did you?"

Mei Qian: "..."

"Haha, just kidding," Jiang Yiqing laughed. He wasn't really worried about Mei Qian poisoning him—she didn't have the guts.

As he cut into the steak, he asked casually, "Where's the contract?"

"Hold on a bit, the lawyer will be here soon," Mei Qian replied. She hadn't come with the lawyer because she had something she wanted to say to Jiang Yiqing. She looked at him, hesitated, and struggled for a moment before finally speaking.

Jiang Yiqing noticed she was acting strange, but he just pretended not to see it and focused on his steak. It was actually pretty good.

Finally, seeing the lawyer was almost there, Mei Qian couldn't hold back any longer. She forced a smile and said, "Yiqing, about the way I acted last time, I'm really sorry. I was thinking all wrong, thinking you'd try to fight for the inheritance with Yuwen. As Yuwen's mother, I was just too protective, and I didn't handle it well."

Jiang Yiqing gave Mei Qian a curious look. He was genuinely puzzled. What was going on? This wasn't the usual passive-aggressive attitude he was used to—this was... unfamiliar.

Seeing that Jiang Yiqing didn't respond, Mei Qian continued, "Yiqing, if you really want to blame someone, blame Zhou Ding."

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

"When I first got together with him, I didn't even know he was married," Mei Qian said, speaking frankly. "Then, by the time we had a child, I had no choice. I couldn't let my child become a bastard, could I? And who knew, your mother got so triggered..."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Later on, Zhou Ding thought you'd inherit your mother's... mental issues, so he just abandoned you..."

Mei Qian had also thought Zhou Ding was heartless back then, but as a beneficiary of the situation, she never stopped it.

Jiang Yiqing gave a cold smile, his gaze slowly turning to Mei Qian. "You sure know how to wash your hands clean, but have you ever considered that, since husband and wife are one, if I go after him, I'm also going after you?"

Mei Qian's smile faltered slightly.

Jiang Yiqing leaned back slightly in his chair, crossing his arms as he said, "Here's an idea: You divorce Zhou Ding right now. I guarantee I'll separate you two from now on. How about it?"

Mei Qian couldn't even force a smile. "Yiqing, are you joking?"

"See? When there's no benefit, you refuse to sever ties. Don't think I'll ever treat you as two separate parties," Jiang Yiqing said, totally unsurprised. What he didn't say was, even if Mei Qian agreed, he wasn't about to let her off.

He made it sound like he was the innocent one, but Jiang Yiqing wasn't a fool.

Mei Qian wanted to say something more, but just then, the lawyer rushed in. She quickly averted her gaze as the lawyer gave her a curious look.

Jiang Yiqing didn't feel like wasting any more time. He simply asked for the contract, checked it, and then signed it.

The two copies had already been signed by Zhou Ding, one for each party.

"Goodbye, Mei... Aunt Mei," Jiang Yiqing said with a smile as he stood up.

Mei Qian's fingers trembled slightly. She cursed Jiang Yiqing under her breath, thinking, So what if he's close to Wen Xiuyan? Does he think I'm afraid of him?

She snorted inwardly, then turned to the lawyer. "Hurry up and send the severance declaration."

The lawyer gave Mei Qian a probing look. She'd deliberately not shared the exact meeting time with him and had arrived so early. What was she really up to?

"What, are my words not enough?" Mei Qian frowned. "Before I came, Zhou Dong already said that after signing the contract, we'd send the declaration. Can't you understand?"

The lawyer held back the urge to roll his eyes and smiled. "Got it, I'll arrange it now."

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Yiqing didn't head home. Instead, he got a call from Zhuang Kangyu.

Zhuang Kangyu, who had almost been killed by a friend but was saved by Jiang Yiqing, had kept in touch with him since then.

When Zhuang Kangyu called, it was because he had something serious going on. He wouldn't dare disturb Jiang Yiqing without reason.
