In the large conference room, Xie Junyang sat in the main seat with a gloomy expression, slamming his hand on the table in a fit of rage.

"Are you crazy?! Do you even know what you're doing?!"

Xie Huanyu was so frightened that she trembled. She only wanted to teach Xu Yanshu a lesson, but she forgot that if she made too much of a scene, her father would find out.

Xie Junyang turned to Xu Yanshu, who was standing on the other side, and said, "If you want to move out for a few days, that's fine too, I..."

“It’s not temporary!” Xu Yanshu interrupted decisively. “I’m definitely going to divorce Xie Huanyu, so I won’t move back.”

If we let this old fox keep trying to smooth things over, the divorce will be delayed even more.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold and silent.

Xie Huanyu raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Xu Yanshu. This man was simply too much. She had clearly already bowed down to him before, but he still had to humiliate her so brazenly.

"Xu Yanshu, please don't..."

"Huanyu, you go out first, I'll talk to him first!" Xie Junyang interrupted him, waving his hand.

Xie Huanyu had no choice but to shut up, and after pouting somewhat unhappily, she turned and walked out of the conference room.

"Xu Yanshu, do you know what this is called? You're refusing a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, it's generally..."

Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently, not wanting to listen to the other party's threats any longer. He simply revealed his trump card, "Chairman Xie, do you remember a man named He Wen?"

Perhaps it was a bit too hasty, but it was the most effective method, and He Wen himself didn't want to live a life of hiding anymore.

What text?!

Xie Junyang was stunned upon hearing this, and then his eyes became filled with deep suspicion.

He wanted to eliminate the threat completely, but unfortunately He Wen escaped the fire, and there was no news of him after that.

"You found him?!" Although it was a question, Xie Junyang's tone was full of certainty.

Xu Yanshu did not deny it, but he also did not intend to reveal anything more. Sometimes, the best effect is to leave it at that.

Xie Junyang's expression immediately turned serious. He Wen held a lot of crucial information, which was why he was determined to eliminate him back then.

Since Xu Yanshu dared to speak so frankly to me, he must have more than just He Wen as a bargaining chip.

"When the time is up, the relationship ends. Marriage is a matter between the two of you, and I shouldn't interfere too much."

"You can decide for yourselves," Xie Junyang said after a long silence, taking the initiative to concede. "I just hope you won't forget the kindness the Xie family showed you in raising you."

Make the decision yourself?

Xu Yanshu scoffed at this. Now Xie Huanyu was making it clear that she wouldn't easily agree to a divorce, and this attitude might not have been without Xie Junyang's prior instruction.

But having already revealed He Wen as his trump card, any further discussion would surely backfire.

Since we've already come this far, I don't mind waiting another day or two.

Xu Yanshu nodded and readily agreed, saying, "Yes, I would never dare to let you down."

After everyone turned and left, Lin Yang, who had been waiting outside, entered the office.

"Chairman Xie, this..."

Xie Junyang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and said in a low voice, "We ultimately underestimated Xu Yanshu."

...

Airport

Staring intently at the exit, Xu Yanshu glanced at the picture Jiang Lu had sent him, wondering if he had missed it. The next second, someone patted his shoulder.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw a woman with a bright appearance and gentle temperament.

"You must be Mr. Xu Yanshu? I am Qin Shengyi!"

"Ah... I'm so sorry, I really didn't notice," Xu Yanshu quickly apologized, taking the suitcase from the woman's hand as he did so. "Jiang Lu went on a business trip at the last minute, so he asked me to come and pick you up!"

The two walked out side by side. Qin Shengyi nodded to indicate that she knew, and then tentatively asked,

"Excuse me for asking, but you graduated from Kyoto University of Commerce, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Yanshu was somewhat surprised, "Yes, are you one too?"

"Yes, I must be your junior!" Qin Shengyi confirmed the guess.

Xu Yanshu was a popular figure at school, almost like a genius. They had met a few times during school activities, and she belatedly realized why the name Xu Yanshu sounded familiar.

What a coincidence!

Xu Yanshu was overjoyed, never expecting to meet a fellow alumnus so many years after graduation.

The two successfully broke the ice by talking about this topic. When they arrived at the parking space, Xu Yanshu was about to open the trunk to put his luggage when he turned around and saw Xie Huanyu standing next to him.

Xie Huanyu stepped forward in her high heels, glanced at Qin Shengyi standing beside her, and asked in a playful tone,

"A new love?"

She had been searching for Xu Yanshu's address for the past few days, but to no avail. In desperation, she decided to try following him, and unexpectedly, she ended up at the airport.

If she wasn't mistaken, the two people had walked over chatting and laughing, while Xu Yanshu hadn't given her a kind look for months.

Xu Yanshu immediately guessed that the other party had followed him here, but he didn't expect the woman to speak so casually, and his face immediately darkened.

Just as he was about to say something, Qin Shengyi stepped forward first.

"Hello, Mr. Xie, I am Qin Shengyi, the business representative of AC. We chatted online before!" Qin Shengyi's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and his polite smile was impeccable.

“I think you may have misunderstood. Xu Yanshu was asked by my brother to pick me up at the airport. I didn’t expect him to be your lover. In that case, I can give priority to Xie’s Group.”

AC Group?

Xu Yanshu was surprised for a moment, but he didn't show it on his face.

AC is one of the largest investment banking groups in the world, specializing in helping companies develop overseas markets. The Xie family business is only successful in Kyoto, so they've always wanted to connect with AC.

Is she Qin Shengyi?

Although Xie Huanyu was still somewhat skeptical, she had no choice but to soften her expression for the time being, considering that the Xie family still wanted to cooperate with AC.

“Yes, that’s right. If you have nothing else, I’ll see Miss Qin off first!” Xu Yanshu nodded in agreement.

Is it because they think she talks too much here?

Xie Huanyu glanced at Xu Yanshu coolly, but didn't really say anything more to him. She turned and stepped aside, saying, "It's alright, you should hurry up and see Miss Qin off!"

Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only after putting his suitcase away did he turn to look at Qin Shengyi.

"You can go now!"
