Gao Sen's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't expected Lei Xuan to propose such a difficult exchange.

The question is whether to pursue custody of Gao Xi... or whether to pursue the downtown project in cooperation with the Lei Group.

Gao Xi is his only son, the future heir of the Gao family, and the most important person in the family.

However, he had already invested a great deal of energy and effort into the project in the city center. He was certain that as long as the project was completed, the ambitious Gao Sen would take the Gao Group to the next level and become a company that everyone looked up to.

Both Gao Xi and this project were of utmost importance to Gao Sen, yet at this crucial moment, he was forced to make a choice. Gao Sen's heart sank. He had already been rebuffed by Lei Xuan for this project, and he was completely certain that if he chose Gao Xi, Lei Xuan would sever all ties with him.

He closed his eyes briefly, a faint pain appearing on his handsome face.

"Mr. Gao?" Shen Wangshu was surprised for a moment, then smiled and turned back to kiss Lei Xuan's eye.

Lei Xuan hadn't told him about exchanging Gao Xi's custody for a project in the city center.

But he did it all for her.

The cold and silent man had no expression, but he slightly turned his head and brought his face closer to Shen Wangshu.

Clearly, the kiss pleased Mr. Lei.

"Isn't President Lei sometimes blurring the lines between public and private matters?" Gao Sen suddenly asked.

He opened his eyes and looked at Lei Xuan with a questioning expression, seemingly disappointed that someone who controlled a huge conglomerate would say such childish things.

“The Gao Xibi project is more important.” Lei Xuan clearly decided to remain childish to the end, and said in a cold voice.

His expression was one of unwavering resolve, clearly unmoved by Gao Sen's dilemma. Under such pressure, Gao Sen's hands clenched tightly as he glared at the man who was trying to take his son away. How could he so casually snatch someone else's son? How could he so cruelly separate a father and son? He had never seen such a heartless man before. Even though he himself was equally ruthless in the business world, he was completely outmatched by Lei Xuan.

“Choose,” Lei Xuan said indifferently.

Holding the roses, Chu Xiangyun looked at Gao Sen's extremely painful appearance and couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

She had heard Gao Sen mention this project before, so she knew that this collaboration was very important to him.

“President Gao,” in her heart no one was as important as Gao Sen. Seeing Gao Sen’s sadness made her feel a little resentful towards Lei Xuan who had forced him. Her voice trembled as she tugged at Gao Sen’s suit sleeve and whispered, “No matter where Xiao Xi is, he will always be your son.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng's mother, already quite provoked by Lei Xuan, immediately changed her expression. Looking at this woman who had encouraged Gao Sen to abandon his biological son for a worthless business deal, willing to sacrifice her son for wealth, she truly understood what kind of woman Chu Xiangyun was.

At this moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude towards Lei Xuan for suggesting that Gao Xi stay.

If Gao Xi continues to stay by this woman's side, she is certain that her grandson will not have a good ending.

"You're right." Gao Sen suddenly snapped out of his daze, nodded slightly, and said through gritted teeth, "I hope to have a pleasant collaboration with President Lei in the future!"

After he said that, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Sheng wanted to look at this bastard anymore.

Shen Wangshu smiled and asked the maid to make a phone call. Before long, both families' private lawyers arrived and quickly prepared the legal documents to transfer Gao Xi's custody.

As Gao Sen signed the document, almost both sets of lawyers looked at this man who had abandoned his son with strange eyes, and then at the woman who was holding roses and leaning on his back, as if giving him courage. Shen Wangshu, however, didn't care about any of this. She only made a point of negotiating the issue of Gao Xi's shares. Gao Sen, still feeling guilty towards his son, didn't hesitate and transferred 10% of his Gao family shares to Gao Xi.

Shen Wangshu was very satisfied with the result.

Even if Gao Xi wanted to leave her father Gao Sen, she never intended for her nephew to leave with nothing, thus benefiting the couple in front of her.

"From now on, I'm entrusting Xiaoxi to you, Yaoyao." Gao Sen was almost devoured by Shen Wangshu when it came to the distribution of his property.

He never imagined that Shen Wangshu knew almost everything about the Gao family's assets, nor did he know that his beloved wife had long been wary of him. Before her death, she left her younger sister a detailed list of the Gao family's assets, including real estate, stocks, and bonds. Although Sheng Yao was a gentle and kind girl, she never resisted her sister's last wish and had already memorized the list.

Shen Wangshu still remembers what Gao Sen had, and obtained more than a dozen properties in various places from his name, as well as a large number of stocks and bonds.

As for the shares in the Gao Group, that's certainly a feast.

She watched with satisfaction as her nephew's net worth exceeded 100 million in just one signing, then glanced at the cold sweat on Gao Sen's forehead; clearly, this handsome former brother-in-law had suffered a bit of a loss.

She flicked the legal documents in her hand and said with a smile, "Stop pretending to be a loving father, Mr. Gao. I really look down on you." Her smile was as beautiful as a flower, but her words seemed to expose the true face of the man before her. She said softly, "Ever since you were struggling to choose between Xiaoxi and this project, you have not been worthy of being Xiaoxi's father!"

Do I need to choose between my son and a project?

Of course, he refused outright, believing that his son was what a father should do.
