The man sitting in the corner had dark, unfathomable eyes and said in a low voice, "You were right, this Xu Yanshu is really not someone to be trifled with!"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. I used to think he was a well-behaved and easy-to-control person," Xie Junyang nodded in deep agreement, "but I never expected him to suddenly rebel and go against me!"

"The arm is destined to be no match for the thigh. Do you think he can possibly overpower you?" Zhou Haoze said noncommittally, raising an eyebrow slightly.

I'm not going to let him off easily!

Xie Junyang chuckled twice with an ambiguous meaning. At that moment, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. So far, no one had ever managed to scheme against him and escape unscathed.

At that time, Zhou Haoze was also thinking to himself that the couple was already very dissatisfied with him. If they were to acknowledge Xu Yanshu again, the Zhou family might have nowhere to stay.

Butler Wang hurried in from outside, walked up to Xie Junyang, and whispered a few words in his ear.

hehe--

His eyes suddenly darkened, and Xie Junyang chuckled disdainfully. Some people were really overestimating themselves, actually daring to think of taking him down with them.

If he dares to come, I will make sure he never comes back.

But He Wen wasn't usually a rash or impulsive person, so logically he shouldn't have... After thinking for a moment, he vaguely guessed the reason: the anniversary of the mother and daughter's death seemed to be just around the corner.

So that's how it is!

Xie Junyang casually raised his hand and instructed, "Tell the men to keep an eye out. If our old friend really comes, we'll definitely have to treat him well!"

"Yes, I understand!" Butler Wang replied and turned to leave.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Zhou Zehao looked up at Xie Junyang questioningly, who calmly replied...

“A nemesis just came to settle scores with me, but Xu Yanshu stopped him. I suspect that the other party might not be so easy to deal with, so I told my men to keep an eye on things.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xie Huanyu walked in from outside alone.

She was about to say something when she noticed someone sitting next to her.

“Young Master Zhou, this is my daughter Huanyu,” Xie Junyang introduced spontaneously. After the other woman nodded, he turned to the person standing in front of him, “This is Young Master Zhou Runze!”

The Zhou family? The Zhou family of Chengdu?

Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback, wondering why her father would suddenly be dealing with the Zhou family. She nodded politely to Zhou Zehao.

Zhou Zehao nodded slightly in response, while subtly observing Xie Huanyu.

Listening to both sides leads to clarity, while listening to only one side leads to obscurity. In addition to listening to Xie Junyang's analysis, he also tried to understand some things in his own way.

Although the two are currently going through a divorce, it is said that Xu Yanshu had previously doted on Xie Huanyu, to the point that he was seen as a simp by others.

What a spineless wretch!

Zhou Zehao scoffed inwardly. In his view, even the best woman was just a way to pass the time. It was already a rare treat to coax her occasionally, and it was absolutely impossible for him to take her seriously.

"Chairman Xie, I have to rush back to Rongcheng, so I'll be leaving now!" Zhou Haoze stood up from his seat without saying a word.

Xie Junyang nodded in understanding, and then called the butler from outside.

"Uncle Wang, see Young Master Zhou out!"

After the person had walked away, Xie Huanyu finally spoke up and asked,

"Dad, how come you're associating with him?"

From what she knew, Zhou Zerun, although somewhat capable, did not have a good reputation in the industry.

Moreover, the way he looked at her just now was very uncomfortable... If it weren't for the fact that he was her father's guest, she definitely wouldn't have tolerated it.

Xie Junyang gave the man a warning look and said sternly, "Don't ask questions that aren't your business!"

"Next, you should focus on preparing for the financing. After you meet Qin Shengyi, apologize to her properly and don't mess things up again."

"Didn't they already decide to cooperate with Tianhong?"

"You don't need to worry about all that. Just remember to be nice when they contact you first."

Although Qin Shengyi did not formally express his opinion at the time, he was absolutely confident that he could make the other party change their mind.

There are priorities. Compared to whether Xu Yanshu can be completely tamed, whether the group can receive investment from AC is a more important matter.

So the father went to find Qin Shengyi?

Xie Huanyu frowned thoughtfully. Although she had already agreed, the thought of having to humbly apologize to Qin Shengyi made her feel a little heartbroken.

"Nothing is more important than company matters right now. As for Xu Yanshu, if he can't change his mind, then let's just forget about it!"

Qin Shengyi's background is not to be underestimated. If she really makes concessions here, he can't go back on his word and continue to drag things out. Otherwise, he might end up with nothing.

On the other hand, if Xu Yanshu is forced to stay in the Xie family, there's no guarantee that he won't suddenly plot against them one day.

Xie Huanyu looked up in disbelief, "But didn't you say before..."

"Now that things have come to this, do you think you can still live a good life together?" Xie Junyang asked irritably.

He had mentioned more than once before that she should keep Xu Yanshu in check, but she insisted on hanging out with that brat Lu Huai.

She's made her so determined to get a divorce, but now she's expecting me to cover for her.

If that's really the case, then why did you give yourself unfounded hope in the first place?
