Xu Yanshu never expected that a wrecked Porsche would become a trending topic, and the media thoroughly exposed the colorful private life of the eldest son of the Lu family.

Playing with women's feelings, specifically targeting college students, and then subjecting them to mental and physical torture once he gets tired of them—each of these actions hits a nerve with netizens.

[Scumbag! Just because you have money doesn't mean you can play with girls!]

This kind of person is a disgrace to society. If they aren't subjected to online bullying, then we, the netizens, have failed in our duty!

[I found out, his father owns a company! I hereby declare that I will indiscriminately boycott all companies owned by the Lu family.]

[Indiscriminate boycott!]

Not only did Lu Huai become the target of public criticism, but Lu's company also faced a nationwide boycott, and its stock price plummeted to its daily limit.

To avoid being dragged into the mess, the Xie Group immediately removed the Lu family from the bidding list, and Xie Huanyu, even if she wanted to, dared not continue to protect them.

"In addition to this matter, I also want to announce a personnel appointment. I have decided to appoint Xu Yanshu as the company's vice president, in full charge of the new energy project."

So, is this a case of forcing someone into a situation?!

Xu Yanshu looked at Xie Junyang, who was sitting at the head of the table, in surprise. The latter appeared calm and composed.

Before he could even make a statement, the conference room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to stand up, numbly nodding at Xie Junyang, his gaze unfocused.

After the meeting ended and everyone else had left, Xie Huanyu went straight to Xu Yanshu.

"You must be feeling really smug, right?"

She had already said that there was no need to do this, but her father still insisted on appointing him as vice president.

This person has already started to disregard her, and now that he's been promoted to vice president, who knows how far he'll go in taking advantage of her.

Xu Yanshu's expression was serious, and he asked directly, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing. A new broom sweeps clean. Xiaoxiao and I have made plans to go shopping abroad. I'll leave the company affairs to you for the next few days."

——

It wasn't until five days after Xu Yanshu moved out that Xie Huanyu realized what was happening and immediately called to question him.

"Xu Yanshu, what do you mean? Is this how a grown man runs away from home? Are you trying to challenge me like this..."

“It doesn’t mean anything, Xie Huanyu. Whether you believe it or not, I really want to divorce you,” Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently, then interrupted coldly, “You’ll receive a lawyer’s letter in a few days.”

"you……"

There was no point in saying more. After finishing his sentence, Xu Yanshu hung up the phone, his brows furrowed with deep weariness. He then let out a long sigh.

If he could, he really wanted to part ways amicably with Xie Huanyu; this stalemate wasn't good for anyone...

While lost in thought, Xu Yanshu actually fell asleep on the sofa, only waking up when the phone rang.

"Hey, Aunt Xu!"

"Mr. Xu, Miss Huanyu is here with her grandmother. The old lady asked me to call you and ask you to come over too!"

In an instant, all sleepiness vanished. Xu Yanshu abruptly stood up from the sofa, then hurriedly turned and left.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. I had just hung up the phone when Xie Huanyu went to the sanatorium. You can imagine what her intentions were.

Xu Yanshu drove very fast along the way, covering a journey that normally takes forty minutes in just twenty.

Upon arriving at the sanatorium, he went straight to the third floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Xie Huanyu.

Xie Huanyu raised her hand to look at her watch, and casually teased,

"They arrived pretty quickly!"

Without a word, Xu Yanshu pulled the woman to a corner and, suppressing his anger, questioned her in a low voice.

"What exactly do you want?"

My grandmother almost got lost because of her before, and now she's trying to blackmail me in the same way. This woman is absolutely depraved!

Upon hearing this, Xie Huanyu immediately wiped the playful smile off her face, her expression turning icy as she said, "That's the question I should be asking you."

"How long are you going to keep this up? Do you think I have a lot of patience?"

"Xu Yanshu, let me tell you, I'm very dissatisfied with your recent performance. You'd better tone it down!"

I thought that if I ignored him for a few days, he would naturally learn his lesson, but I didn't expect him to move out without saying a word.

Xu Yanshu solemnly began, "I'm serious about the divorce, and I hope you can..."

Do we still need to get a divorce here?

Xie Huanyu nodded as if she understood, then turned and walked towards the old lady's ward. "Then I'll go ask Grandma what she means..."

Damn it!

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but spit inwardly, then stepped forward to stop Xie Huanyu.

"Xie Huanyu, do you really have to do this?"

“Divorce is a matter between the two of us. You know that Grandma’s health condition can’t handle any stress right now. Do you really have to do this?”

Grandma always thought that he and Xie Huanyu had a good relationship, so she would definitely not be able to accept it if she suddenly found out that he wanted a divorce.

Xie Huanyu was probably well aware of this, and in recent years her grandmother had been closer to her than to her, yet she would often use the old lady to threaten her.

Xie Huanyu crossed her arms and retorted without backing down, "It's you who keeps testing my limits."

"I've warned you several times before, but you still keep bringing up the word 'divorce,' showing no regard for my feelings at all."

"Grandma is our elder. If we really want a divorce, we can't keep it from her forever, can we?"

Xu Yanshu was speechless, and his blood rushed to his head. He turned around and slammed his fist hard against the wall, his face so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.

Xie Huanyu made it clear that she wouldn't easily agree to a divorce. If this caused her grandmother to suffer a serious injury, it would truly be a loss.

Having never seen a man so violent, Xie Huanyu unconsciously took a small step back, and her aura clearly weakened.

So what do you want?

"You are never allowed to mention the word 'divorce' again, and you must move back into the apartment immediately!"

Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand!"

It's impossible for him to actually let Xie Huanyu rush in and provoke his grandmother, so he can only compromise for now, but he absolutely cannot give up the idea of ​​divorce.

Seeing that the man's expression showed no sign of softening, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel wary and unconsciously began to wonder if she had gone too far...

But it was Xu Yanshu who provoked her time and time again, and now all she wanted was for him to move back to his apartment.

"Then I'll go and keep Grandma company first. I also need to go back to the Xie residence later!"

Xu Yanshu nodded slightly until the woman's figure completely disappeared from sight, at which point hatred began to surface in the depths of his eyes.

Like father, like daughter; the Xie family father and daughter both enjoy making unreasonable demands.

His hands unconsciously clenched into fists at his sides; he knew he couldn't just sit there and wait to die...
