A sudden surge of anger welled up inside her, and after regaining her senses, she abruptly turned around and walked away.

Jiang Zhengyu vaguely guessed what was going on, and he quickly reached out to stop the other person, "What are you trying to do?"

"I'm going to go find my mom and ask her what she thinks is right to do this!" Qin Shengyi replied irritably, his cheeks puffed out and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

It's clear that Yan Shu broke up with her in this way because her mother said some really hurtful things!

Tears of grievance welled up in Qin Shengyi's eyes. She never expected her mother to interfere in her relationship in such a despicable way.

"Shengyi, calm down," Jiang Zhengyu's eyes twitched uncontrollably. He quickly pulled her back to sit down on the soft couch and asked earnestly, "Going to your aunt right now will only escalate the conflict!"

"Then what do you suggest I do?"

"If a direct assault is not feasible, then we'll outsmart them. Besides, that kid has made you sad for so many days, we can't just let it go like this."

...

"Yan Shu, if you're short-staffed here, I can help transfer some people from the group!"

"No need, I'll arrange it later!" Xu Yanshu refused, his gaze towards the other person clearly distant. "By the way, you've been here for almost a week now, haven't you finished buying everything yet?"

Hearing the implication of driving him away, Xie Huanyu's face stiffened, and she couldn't help but raise her eyes and give the man a resentful look.

This guy is so clueless! Doesn't he realize that I just want to spend more time with him?

Xie Huanyu stepped forward in her high heels, gently placed her hand on Xu Yanshu's shoulder, and looked at the man with tender affection, saying, "Yanshu, since you said to let bygones be bygones,"

"Can we start over...?"

"No!" Xu Yanshu immediately took a step back and refused decisively, "Thank you for being willing to act in that play with me that day, but I also said beforehand that it was just acting."

"If this has caused you any misunderstanding, then I sincerely apologize to you here!"

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Xu Yanshu felt a pang of regret, and his face darkened. Only now did he realize how wrong it had been to seek out Xie Huanyu that day.

These words made Xie Huanyu feel somewhat embarrassed, but she was unwilling to let it go so easily. After hesitating several times, she finally spoke.

"Since it's impossible for you and Qin Shengyi anyway, why can't you consider starting over with me?"

"No one can stand in our way now. You could love me sincerely before, and you can love me sincerely in the future. I will never make the same mistake again."

As she spoke, Xie Huanyu's tone became increasingly urgent, and her gaze toward Xu Yanshu held a hint of pleading.

Because love isn't a black-and-white choice, the two of them were simply incompatible, and no matter how many times they tried again, the outcome would be the same.

Xu Yanshu frowned almost imperceptibly; this entanglement was getting to him.

"Xie Huanyu, I've always thought you were a smart woman. I think you already know the answer to this question!"

"Thank you so much for helping me on the previous occasions, I'm really grateful."

"As for the future, I don't think we need to have any more contact!"

Meeting the man's cold eyes, Xie Huanyu felt a sudden panic. She nodded haphazardly, then resolutely turned and entered the elevator next to her.

You shouldn't have been in such a hurry...

Xie Huanyu sighed helplessly. It was all because she had acted too hastily, which had backfired.

Beep beep beep—

A honk brought Xie Huanyu back to her senses. She looked up and saw Zhou Zehao's car parked on the side of the road. An uneasy expression flashed across her face. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over.

"President Xie, you're on a business trip to Chengdu, why didn't you contact me?" Zhou Zehao deliberately emphasized the words "business trip," and then looked up at Xu Yanshu's studio.

I knew this woman was still up to no good, but I never expected her to travel across a city to be Xu Yanshu's lapdog.

Xie Huanyu felt awkward for a moment, as if her thoughts had been seen through. She coughed uncomfortably twice, then subtly changed the subject.

"What are you doing here? Did you just happen to be passing by?"

"No, I came here specifically to see a joke," Zhou Zehao replied with a wicked smile and a nonchalant shrug. "I never expected to run into Miss Xie!"

He said that all the good things in the world can't revolve around Xu Yanshu. It's rare to encounter someone who's been humiliated like this, so he should at least show up in person.

Isn't it boring?

Xie Huanyu frowned in disgust and said indignantly, "Besides targeting Xu Yanshu, is there nothing else you can do in your life?"

"You don't need to be so cautious. Yan Shu has no interest in your Zhou family's little bit of territory."

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly turned cold.

Zhou Zehao stared intently at Xie Huanyu, then reached out and lightly patted the woman's cheek. "Have I been too lenient with you lately, making you think you can teach me how to do things?"

He had previously thought that this woman was a cold-blooded animal like himself, which made him more tolerant of Xie Huanyu. He never expected that this woman would turn around and start lecturing him on behalf of Xu Yanshu.
