"Thank you for taking me to the hospital that day!"
"It was nothing, I would have done the same for anyone else!" Xu Yanshu said without hesitation after a slight pause in his gaze.
Do you really have to talk like that?
Xie Huanyu subconsciously glanced to the side, looking at Xu Yanshu's cold profile, and she inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness.
Even though the people are right beside me, they feel so far away...
"Are you... really together with Qin Shengyi?" Xie Huanyu asked tentatively, her expression showing a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.
Xu Yanshu frowned in annoyance, suddenly regretting that he had softened his heart and let Xie Huanyu get into the car.
He declared firmly, "We're just friends!"
"Xie Huanyu, not everyone makes mistakes of principle. The problems between us have nothing to do with other people."
I didn't want to explain too much to her, but I was also worried that she might cause trouble for Shengyi again later.
Xie Huanyu's face turned pale and then red from the sarcasm. She had indeed not grasped the proper boundaries in her interactions with Lu Huai. After regaining her senses, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of what the other party is thinking, at least for now, Xu Yanshu doesn't have any romantic feelings for Qin Shengyi.
"There are only twenty days left for the cooling-off period, Xu Yanshu. Why don't we take this opportunity to try? If it's really not suitable, we'll go through the formalities."
Even a one-night stand can create a hundred days of kindness. As long as he hasn't fallen in love with another woman, there might still be a possibility of reconciliation between them.
“There’s no need for that,” Xu Yanshu rejected the suggestion without hesitation, his eyes growing even darker. “Xie Huanyu, there’s no going back between us. Parting amicably will save us some dignity.”
It's unclear whether this proposal is part of Xie Junyang's plan, but it's truly impossible for him and Xie Huanyu to be together.
Is that so?
Xie Huanyu smiled bitterly. Although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt extremely uncomfortable when he actually heard these words.
This man had always been completely devoted to her, but now all that remained was indifference and resoluteness...
Xie Huanyu didn't say anything more, just sat quietly in the passenger seat. Her mind couldn't help but recall all the good things Xu Yanshu had done for her in the past, and her eyes involuntarily warmed slightly.
As she was getting out of the car, she turned and looked intently at the man before speaking.
"Xu Yanshu, thank you for being so good to me before!"
hehe……
Watching the woman's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xu Yanshu suddenly let out a cold laugh, his narrow eyes filled with icy sarcasm.
It turns out she knew how good she was to her, but instead of appreciating it, she used it to humiliate and trample on her time and time again.
If she were to say such things now, it would only make him seem more ridiculous. Thinking this, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the steering wheel.
He only snapped out of his daze when his phone rang.
"Hey, Jung-woo... Okay, I got it, I'll drive over right away!"
...
After meeting, Jiang Zhengyu revealed all the information he had found.
"So you and the Zhou family..."
Xu Yanshu bluntly stated, "Zhou Shengyu is my biological father, and it was Xie Junyang who eagerly delivered the paternity test to me."
Zhengyu and Hewen were not outsiders, and there was no point in hiding such a thing.
So Yan Shu is the Zhou family's lost son?
Jiang Zhengyu was slightly taken aback. He had made many guesses before he spoke, but he never expected it to be like this.
That explains why Zhou Zehao and Xie Junyang teamed up to deal with Xu Yanshu.
Two tigers cannot share one mountain. It is said that the Zhou couple are still secretly searching for their biological son, and Zhou Zehao certainly does not want another person to come out and share the family property with him.
He Wen was equally surprised, never expecting that Xu Yanshu had such a background. Compared to the Zhou family, Xie Shi was nothing.
It turns out that Zhou Zehao is an adopted son.
Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes with an ambiguous expression. He had indeed not expected that Xie Junyang would actually seek cooperation with the Zhou family in order to deal with him. The emotions hidden deep in his eyes instantly turned completely cold.
The tree may wish to be still, but the wind will not cease; it seems that a decisive battle must be fought between him and Xie Junyang.
He Wen carefully considered his words before asking, "Since you already knew, have you ever thought about...?"
“No,” Xu Yanshu answered resolutely, his thin lips pressed down into a straight line, his eyes filled with a determined light, “No matter how down and out I become in this life, I will never go to that family.”
He had already made up his mind about this matter and would not easily change it because of any factors.
Now that he has taken the surname Xu, he can only be a descendant of the Xu family for the rest of his life.
Jiang Zhengyu nodded slightly. Given Xu Yanshu's temperament, it was not surprising that he would make such a decision.
"This Zhou Zehao is just like Xie Junyang, a smiling tiger. He appears gentle and refined on the surface, but he is actually ruthless and unscrupulous behind the scenes."
"Although it is widely believed that the relationship between the Zhou father and son is harmonious, their relationship has always been quite delicate."
He guessed that this subtlety stemmed from the fact that the Zhou couple had never given up searching for their biological son over the years.
So what is Jiang Zhengyu's background?
He Wen couldn't help but glance at the person who spoke. To be able to understand the Zhou family's internal situation so clearly, this lawyer Jiang's identity was definitely not simple.
Cough cough—
Noticing this action, Xu Yanshu frowned slightly, coughed lightly twice as a reminder, and his eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.
Curiosity killed the cat. Although they are now on the same side, it doesn't mean they can pry into each other's privacy at will.
He Wen then belatedly realized that his actions were inappropriate. He waved his hand with a bright smile and then made an excuse to leave.
"Now that the two of them are on the same side, Zhou Zehao must already know about your background. I bet he'll be coming to find you soon,"
Jiang Zhengyu, however, didn't seem to care much about this and continued speaking to himself.
"You'd better be prepared. Contact me anytime if anything happens."
Xu Yanshu shrugged nonchalantly and said quietly, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Anyway, Xie Junyang and I still have a chance to compete, so I don't mind having one more person."
As soon as the words were spoken, the two men exchanged a knowing glance, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.
Just then, he remembered something else. After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yanshu asked, "..."
"By the way, did Shengyi study in Baoning before?" "The team competition is entering its most intense phase. We hope everyone will actively participate. If you can afford it, spend some real money, and also clear out your account's gold coins (remember to join a team first!)"
It wasn't for nothing! Xiaxia will try her best to add more chapters at the end of the month!
