Upon receiving the four million from Lu Huai, Xie Huanyu was somewhat surprised. She never expected that the Lu family father and son could still raise such a large sum of money after selling the Lu Mansion.
She had a vague feeling that something was amiss, so she had someone investigate. The result made her eyes twitch.
Not wanting to miss this opportunity to add fuel to the fire, Xie Huanyu invited the father and son out under the pretext of treating them to dinner.
"You've all worked hard these past few days, so today it's my treat to treat you all!"
What's going on here?
Lu Guangxiong and his son exchanged a knowing glance, both of them somewhat bewildered.
Didn't they already have a falling out before? Why is Xie Huanyu being so polite now?
"Uncle Lu, I was indeed ignorant before. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against me!"
This respectful attitude immediately gave Lu Guangxiong a sense of superiority. He waved his hand magnanimously, "Young people are all immature at times. Don't worry, I won't take it to heart!"
Although he said that, Lu Guangxiong began to silently recount the hardships he had endured during this period, thinking that when he had the chance, he would definitely make this little bitch suffer as well.
Lu Huai, however, was not so optimistic. He looked at Xie Huanyu with suspicion, unsure of what she was really up to.
A hint of mockery flashed deep in Xie Huanyu's eyes as she casually called over a waiter to start serving the dishes.
As dish after dish was placed on the table, Lu Guangxiong suddenly lost his smile.
Lamb penis, oysters, lamb kidneys... the whole table was filled with kidney-tonifying foods.
"Eat up," Xie Huanyu said listlessly, glancing meaningfully at Lu Guangxiong. "What, don't you like it?"
Lu Guangxiong was so angry that his face turned pale and then red. He then realized that Xie Huanyu knew that he was being forced to sell his kidney, so she had deliberately set up a trap for them.
Lu Huai angrily questioned, "Xie Huanyu, we've already paid back all the money we owe you, what more do you want?"
"I don't want anything, didn't I? I'm treating you to dinner, aren't I?" Xie Huanyu shrugged, feigning ignorance, and asked innocently, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't hold it against me? So why isn't Uncle Lu eating?"
Lu Huai is incredibly naive, actually thinking that everything will be fine after repaying the money. Having schemed against him time and again, the price he needs to pay is far more than this.
"Huanyu, you..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Xie Huanyu slammed her chopsticks down on the table, her face instantly turning extremely grim.
"Uncle Lu, aren't you being a bit disrespectful to me?"
Lu Guangxiong looked pale and hesitated for a moment before picking up his chopsticks to eat. For a moment, the food tasted like nothing at all.
"Lu Huai, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you owe me money. Even if someone has to sell a kidney, it should be you..."
"Oh, I forgot, your kidney quality is worrying!" Xie Huanyu nodded, feigning sudden realization.
Feeling blatantly humiliated like this, Lu Huai's face turned green instantly. He was about to maneuver his wheelchair away when he heard Xie Huanyu's cool voice.
"Are you sure you want to just leave like this? You should know my temper. If I get angry, who knows what I might do!"
Xie Huanyu crossed her arms, her lowered eyes filled with coldness.
It seems I've been too lenient with the Lu family, which is why Lu Huai still dares to act so arrogantly in front of me!
His hands, which had been hanging by his sides, suddenly clenched into fists. Lu Huai took a deep breath and then turned around and sat back down in his seat.
"Eat up, don't be shy!"
Lu Huai's gaze paused slightly, then he expressionlessly picked up his chopsticks—
...
On the third day of the cooling-off period, Xie Huanyu walked into Xu Yanshu's supervisor's office again.
"Let's keep things separate. I hope you can still be conscientious and do your job well!"
Xu Yanshu nodded noncommittally. "I understand. Is there anything else?"
This cold attitude made Xie Huanyu feel like she had punched cotton. Her expression stiffened for a moment, and then she glared at Xu Yanshu with resentment in her eyes.
He never treated me like this before!
"We are currently in a cooling-off period and have not actually divorced, so please keep your distance from Qin Shengyi!"
Thinking about how Qin Shengyi had made sarcastic remarks about her on the phone that day, she felt furious. At the same time, she hadn't expected that Xu Yanshu and Qin Shengyi would talk about everything to this extent.
Is this woman crazy?
Xu Yanshu glanced at Xie Huanyu, puzzled. He and Shengyi were just having normal interactions as friends, yet she had repeatedly slandered and defamed them.
Or perhaps she herself has done too many petty thefts, which leads her to believe that others will also do immoral things.
"Don't look at me like that. Qin Shengyi isn't as innocent and naive as you think. His true colors are something you'd never imagine!"
in private?
Xu Yanshu instantly grasped the key point of those words. He unconsciously frowned and immediately questioned,
"Have you gone to see Shengyi?"
"So what if I've already looked for her?" Xie Huanyu was instantly enraged by this question and retorted irritably, her narrowed eyes revealing a chilling glint in them. "Don't you think there's something wrong with your attitude right now? Are you sure you want to question your wife for the sake of another woman?"
Xu Yanshu chuckled noncommittally, "One is influenced by one's company; wasn't that exactly what you did before?"
Let alone questioning, she had embarrassed herself in public many times before because of Lu Huai, and even hit him several times.
As he pondered, the man's handsome face suddenly turned completely cold, and the emotions deep in his eyes also changed.
you……
Xie Huanyu was speechless after being questioned. If it really came down to it, he was indeed more in the wrong.
"Yes, I was wrong before. If needed, I can apologize to you..."
"There's no need for an apology!" Xu Yanshu interrupted coldly, his tone leaving no room for argument. "After the cooling-off period for divorce, we'll get the documents, and then we'll go our separate ways and not interfere with each other!"
Is divorce really the only option?
Xie Huanyu frowned slightly, and stopped herself from speaking. If she had asked, Xu Yanshu would have given her an affirmative answer without hesitation.
"I suddenly remembered I have some urgent documents to process, so I'll go upstairs first!"
Watching the woman's hurried departure, Xu Yanshu felt a strange unease and irritation rising within him, vaguely sensing that Xie Huanyu wouldn't be very cooperative with him afterward.
He couldn't help but curse under his breath; if that really happened, then it would truly be a lose-lose situation.
