Chapter 168 She's only just divorced, and already a bunch of people are watching her.

Shi Nian didn't want to answer.

To talk about the past now is like trying to find a sword by marking the boat; the past and the present are completely different.

All she can say is that her initial devotion was genuine, and now that she's withdrawing her love, it's her decision.

She looked at the wooden fox carving in front of her.

A fox?

This is his impression of her.

But she was never a fox.

All she used was her own heart.

But now, that heart is scarred and broken.

She handed the wooden fox carving back to Lin Xuan.

But Lin Xuan did not answer.

He said softly, "Take it. When we get back to China, I'll give you a gift. It's something I carved myself, and it's not worth much, but you can consider it a wish."

"Any wish that I can fulfill."

He smiled enticingly and said, "I'd give you all my possessions, even my life."

He had figured it out: it wasn't that he hadn't encountered that person over the years, but rather that that person had appeared before.

But he didn't know that at the time.

Moreover, that person already belonged to someone else.

Fortunately, she has now regained her freedom.

He still has time and opportunities to work hard.

But Shi Nian smiled.

She sighed softly, took his hand, and placed the wooden fox in his palm.

What would I do with your life?

"Take it back."

She no longer wanted to get involved in these causes and effects; Lu Yanzhi alone was enough to cause her unbearable pain.

Lin Xuan wanted to say something, but a shadow fell over the side of him.

It's Huo Yanmo.

He smiled and looked at Lin Xuan, before finally fixing his gaze on Shi Nian.

"I saw you two chatting here for a long time, so I came over to check it out," Huo Yanmo said.

"You again..." Lin Xuan was initially impatient with the person interrupting their conversation, but he suddenly stopped after seeing Huo Yanmo's face.

"Is it you?" Lin Xuan said, glancing at Shi Nian and then at Huo Yanmo with a strange expression.

Huo Yanmo smiled but did not speak.

Huo Yanmo took Shi Nian's hand back and pushed Lin Xuan's hand, which was holding the wooden fox, back.

"Keep your own things safe," he said. "Don't force others to accept things they don't like; it's very impolite."

Although he still had a smiling face, his attitude was very firm.

Lin Xuan's expression was unpleasant, and he wanted to say something, but Huo Yanmo had already taken Shi Nian's hand.

"Let's go," he said to Shi Nian with a smile. "Isn't Sisi still in her extracurricular classes? I think it's about time to pick her up."

Lin Xuan's gaze was fixed on Huo Yanmo's hand holding Shi Nian's.

Shi Nian suppressed a laugh and nodded.

"I'm leaving," Shi Nian said to Lin Xuan. "Have a nice trip back to China."

"You..." Lin Xuan wanted to say something, but the two had already left while talking.

Lin Xuan was left alone, looking completely bewildered.

On the other side, Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo had already gotten into the car.

"You two know each other?" Shi Nian asked while fastening her seatbelt.

“Yes, we’ve met before in business.” Huo Yanmo said, starting the car.

The car moved smoothly along the road.

Finally, we stopped at the place where Sisi attends her extracurricular classes.

As Shi Nian unbuckled her seatbelt, Huo Yanmo suddenly said, "Nian Nian, we agreed to meet twelve times alone. Let's set the first one for the day after tomorrow?"

He felt a sense of crisis.

She just got divorced, and already a bunch of people are watching her.

He wants to strike first!

Shi Nian was a little surprised, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, she had promised him.

Thinking about it, she smiled and nodded, "Okay."

...

On the other side.

The Lu family.

Lu Yanzhi looked very unwell.

Secretary Zhou had just had a doctor come and treat the injury on his face.

The phone calls from various countries keep coming in.

The shareholders are also demanding an explanation.

A bunch of reporters had already been waiting downstairs at the Lu Group building, and the internet was buzzing with the news.

"Mr. Lu, everyone is asking when the press conference we mentioned will start. Everyone is waiting for an answer."

Secretary Zhou asked cautiously.

Actually, he wouldn't have wanted to speak at all if it weren't necessary, especially since the other person's expression looked very bad.

Lu Yanzhi closed his eyes in discomfort.

What kept appearing before my eyes was Shi Nian's cold and heartless eyes.

And the way she and Lin Xuan looked at each other with perfect understanding.

A burning anger called jealousy rose in his heart.

Lu Yanzhi clenched his right hand.

"President Lu?" Secretary Zhou urged cautiously.

"In half an hour," Lu Yanzhi said, "in the third conference room."

Secretary Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"yes."

...

Soon after, the latest live stream announcement appeared online—

#Lu Yanzhi will hold a press conference in half an hour to respond to the divorce matters#

It immediately attracted the attention of countless netizens.

Whether you want to see divorce gossip or information about the economic situation, this is it.

All eyes are on us.

People like Lin Xuan, who are interested in these matters, also tuned in to the corresponding live streaming channels.

Time flies like water.

Soon, the time will be up.

Han Wei stayed by Lu Yanzhi's side.

She asked worriedly, "Yanzhi, are you really going to respond? At this time?"

Lu Xinyi, who was standing to the side, was also very angry. She said, "That's right, why does Shi Nian not care about anything and leave Yanzhi to face all of this alone!"

But Lu Yanzhi only gave her a cold glance.

Han Wei didn't know what to say, so she simply asked, "Do you want me to come with you?"

"No need," Lu Yanzhi said.

Then, he pushed open the door and went inside.

The conference room was full of reporters, and there was also live streaming equipment nearby.

He had barely walked in when the flashbulbs went off everywhere.

At this moment, Shi Nian and Si Si were together at the Huo family's old mansion.

When Huo Yanmo went to pick up Sisi, he suggested that we go to her house to see the cat.

Thinking it over, Shi Nian took her with him to the Huo family.

Right now, Lu Yanzhi's live stream is playing on the player on one side.

"Shi Nian and I are indeed divorced."

Lu Yanzhi's voice came through clearly: "Shi Nian and I signed a prenuptial agreement when we got married, so there won't be a case of an exorbitant divorce bill if we separate."

"and……"

Lu Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Although we have already registered our marriage, the subsequent division of property is still in process. We will announce any progress in the future."

"As for the cooperation, the Lu family will arrange the relevant personnel to handle the handover, so please don't panic."

...

Lu Yanzhi said a lot, and the flashbulbs kept going off.

Finally, it was time for the Q&A session.

A reporter immediately asked, "Mr. Lu, what was the reason for your divorce from Shi Nian? We checked the timeline of your first divorce proceedings, and it seems to be very close to the time when you and Han Wei were seen together on several occasions. Is this because of Han Wei?"

Lu Yanzhi's eyes narrowed dangerously.

But before he could answer the question, another person stood up and asked, "Mr. Lu, what did Shi Nian take with her in this divorce? You said it's still going through the process, what process are you referring to? Weren't these things already agreed upon and arranged beforehand?"
