Ning Yue realized that Hu Cheng had not changed. The fact that he had already arranged to renew her mother’s room fee in advance showed he had been preparing for a long time. She then started consulting with Mu Xiao, who, after reviewing some materials, suspected that Hu Cheng might have secretly transferred assets. Hu Cheng had also quietly told his senior, Zhou Wei, about Ning Yue’s plans to divorce. He was not going to sit idly by.

While Ning Yue and Mu Xiao were discussing matters, Hu Cheng appeared uninvited, which surprised both of them. However, Ning Yue no longer trusted Hu Cheng. The trust they had just built collapsed silently in that moment. Ning Yue explained that she had come to consult with Mu Xiao about severance pay, but Hu Cheng wasn’t surprised by the news. He had already prepared for it.

He mentioned that General Manager Chen had told him about it, and that Ning Yue being laid off wasn't necessarily a bad thing—it came with compensation, and she could stay at home and take care of the children. Luo Yating took Ning Yue’s words to heart and went to find General Manager Chen. Chen denied knowing Ning Yue and belittled her, calling her nothing more than an isolated housewife.

He also said that she was past the prime age for learning, and someone with no useful skills, pushed into the company through personal connections, was better off being laid off in this round. Luo Yating began to doubt him, and told Chen that if she found out anyone was using their power for personal gain, she would not let that person off easily.

It was indeed at Hu Cheng’s suggestion that General Manager Chen had helped to have Ning Yue laid off. Ning Yue had now completely seen through Hu Cheng and decided she must divorce him—there was no other choice. Mu Xiao helped Ning Yue track Hu Cheng’s account transactions over the past two years. The largest incoming transaction came from a company called Licheng Anping. Ning Yue recognized the name, as she had seen it during her internal investigations.

Mu Xiao suggested that if Ning Yue wanted to continue investigating, she should dig deeper, as it could uncover other private accounts belonging to Hu Cheng. Qin Can found a way to keep Ning Yue employed by hiring her as an outsourced worker. The decision of whether to retain her would be up to the department head, so there were no issues in terms of the system. Qin Can discussed the matter with the HR manager.

However, some people were unwilling to accept this kind of outsourced cooperation, and the HR manager told Qin Can to ask Ning Yue about her personal preference. Unexpectedly, Ning Yue came to Qin Can and asked to be transferred to an outsourced position so she could continue her unfinished work. Ning Yue believed that no matter how difficult it was, staying in the company was still better than leaving.

As long as she had work, she could investigate the transfer of funds from Licheng Anping to Hu Cheng. Qin Can was planning to pick up his niece, and Ning Yue offered to go along. To her surprise, they ran into Hu Cheng. Hu Ziyuan had lost a game and invited Jiao Jiao to dinner. Qin Can didn’t want to interact with Hu Cheng, but Jiao Jiao insisted on having her uncle join them, so Qin Can reluctantly agreed.

To his surprise, the dinner turned out to be an event Hu Cheng had arranged, and General Manager Chen was there to play along, pretending that Ning Yue’s layoff had nothing to do with Hu Cheng, but was simply because the company had poor judgment. Ning Yue modified the terms of her labor contract herself, agreeing to use her house as collateral if any issues arose. She was looking for ways to protect her assets. Qin Can didn’t understand, but Ning Yue insisted on her decision. Respecting her wishes, Qin Can didn’t press the matter further.
