Ruan Yu ultimately left, moving back to her own rental apartment from the one Chen Dan had rented for her, adamant about severing ties with him.
Chen Dan knew he shouldn't have let her leave, but Liang Zhouyue was present, so he could only step back temporarily and explain to Ruan Yu later.
After resigning from the Chen Family, Ruan Yu met with Chen Fangyong privately once to thank him for his help over the years and to express her apologies for resigning. Knowing the reason for her resignation, Chen Fangyong couldn't really blame her; he verbally expressed his concern several times, wishing she could leave Chen Dan sooner.
Although his relationship with Chen Dan wasn't close, as a son of the Chen Family, Chen Dan's future marriage had to be well-matched and couldn't be careless.
