At 8 p.m., Xie Huanyu arrived home, where Xu Yanshu was sitting in his study working on documents.

Xie Huanyu leaned against the doorframe and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"Wasn't your attitude towards Ah Huai a bit too much today?"

"Really? I don't think so!" Xu Yanshu remained noncommittal, then, remembering Lu Huai's unauthorized visit to the sanatorium, he looked up at Xie Huanyu, "Please pass on his message to him."

"Don't bother Grandma again, or I'll make things difficult for her!"

He was definitely going to find Lu Huai himself. The reason he mentioned it was because he felt Xie Huanyu should know about this, and also to prevent Lu Huai from using this incident to smear him again.

Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback. Did this mean that Ahuai had visited his grandmother at the nursing home again after the last visit? Then why hadn't she heard him mention it before?

"You're welcome? Xu Yanshu, what do you mean by that?" Xie Huanyu realized what was going on and walked into the study, her brows slightly furrowed. "Ah Huai is also very filial to Grandma. If you don't appreciate it, then so be it."

"On the contrary, it's still this attitude, just like Ah Huai would do something to Grandma..."

"I don't need it!"

Xu Yanshu, unable to contain his anger any longer, roared, a deep chill creeping into his eyes, "Do whatever you want with him, I don't care about your affairs."

“But I absolutely will not allow him to bother Grandma again, otherwise I would not mind dying with him.”

Lu Huai's approach to his grandmother was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken. Now that his grandmother is starting to suspect things, if that guy continues to spout nonsense, some things might be completely exposed.

Do you not care or not at all?

Xie Huanyu was startled by the sudden shout, and then enraged by the words. She retorted without backing down,

"Don't care? Heh, you're pretending to be so magnanimous. So you don't care if I sleep with Ah Huai?"

Xu Yanshu nodded without hesitation, "Yes! As long as he doesn't bother Grandma, I don't care about anything else!"

The eldest daughter of the Xie family had already cuckolded him. If he still cared too much about this matter, it would only give Xie Huanyu more pleasure in humiliating him.

Now he only cares about his grandmother, because she is his only relative and source of warmth in this world.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yanshu answered so earnestly. Xie Huanyu's expression changed almost imperceptibly, and her gaze toward Xu Yanshu became noticeably more probing.

So he really doesn't care.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Xie Huanyu felt a sudden pang of sadness, and he unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides.

She parted her red lips slightly, but ultimately said nothing more. She gave Xu Yanshu a cool look before turning and leaving the room.

hehe!

Xu Yanshu chuckled softly, his narrow eyes filled with sarcasm, as he pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek.

So why did she specifically ask that question? Did she really think she knew nothing, or did she find it more exciting to provoke him this time?

...

When Xie Junyang summoned him again, Xu Yanshu roughly guessed what it was about. Since Xie Huanyu had already noticed, it was impossible to hide it from Xie Junyang's eyes.

With a sharp gaze sweeping over the person standing before him, Xie Junyang spoke cryptically, "I've always felt confident entrusting Huanyu to you."

"I never expected this, Xu Yanshu, you're really bold!"

You really can't judge a book by its cover!

It's a wonder this person pretended to care so much about Huanyu in front of me. Who would have thought that he had been thinking about divorce all along, and even wanted to sue Huanyu.

Upon learning this news, he immediately instructed Lao Wang to conduct an investigation.

Not only is it completely true, but Xu Yanshu even hired a private investigator to follow Huan Yu, which is utterly absurd!

Xu Yanshu took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice, "Xie Huanyu and I are not suitable for each other. Divorce is better for everyone."

"Inappropriate?" Xie Junyang's face immediately darkened. He gave a noncommittal sneer and said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Xu Yanshu, who do you think you are?"

"Without the Xie family, would you be where you are today? Believe me or not, with just one word from me, you wouldn't even be able to find a cleaning job in Kyoto?"

He believed it.

Xu Yanshu unconsciously pursed his lips. After all, having worked in the Xie family for so many years, he knew a little about Xie Junyang's strength.

But he can't just swallow his anger for the rest of his life because of this, otherwise his life will be predictable from the start.

Xu Yanshu raised her head to look at Xie Junyang and said in a humble yet assertive manner, "I know you have helped me a lot, but I have been putting all my energy into the company these past few years, so I don't owe the Xie family anything!"

Haha, that's a really bold statement!

Xie Junyang, enraged, laughed coldly. He slowly stood up from his seat, walked around the desk to Xu Yanshu, and slapped him hard across the face.

"You bastard, who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that? You think you can just say you don't owe me anything? Who do you think you are?"

With his hands clenched into fists again, Xu Yanshu felt an endless sense of humiliation. His handsome face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead bulged one after another.

Thinking back to how foolish she had previously regarded this person as her biological father, she felt both ridiculous and increasingly resentful.

He would never give in so easily.

"Chairman Xie, I..."

Xie Junyang narrowed his eyes with a hint of unease and said in a low voice, "You should know about your background, so don't you want to know who your biological parents are?"

...

Xu Yanshu didn't know how he left the Xie residence until he returned to his apartment in Haicheng, when he regained a sense of reality.

How did Xie Junyang know about this?

Yes, he and his father are not related by blood, a fact his father had already revealed the day he came of age.

My father said that he found me when I was only three or four months old in a park. There was a thank-you letter and a huge sum of 20,000 yuan in my swaddling clothes.

At the time, his father was going through a period of emotional distress. After careful consideration, he brought him home and raised him with the help of his grandmother.

Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?

Xu Yanshu's eyes were unfocused as he muttered to himself. Of course, he had thought about it, but for some reason, he hadn't taken any concrete action yet.

Perhaps it's because there are too many shackles on their bodies, or perhaps they're afraid of hope turning into disappointment.

Judging from Xie Junyang's words, it seems that he knows where his parents are.

Xu Yanshu was skeptical, unsure whether the other party truly knew or was trying to manipulate him in this way.

The phone on the table suddenly rang, and Xu Yanshu snapped out of his reverie. Just as he swiped to answer, he heard Aunt Xu's voice, trembling with tears.

"Mr. Xu, your grandmother is in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment. Please come over immediately!"
