As soon as Xu Yanshu stepped out, he saw a figure rush up and kneel down in front of him.
Lu Guangxiong kowtowed repeatedly to the person in front of him, his tone extremely urgent, "I'm sorry, Young Master Xu, I was really wrong,"
"Please be magnanimous and let us go!"
These past few days have been absolutely unbearable for him.
Everyone who had previously clashed with him knew about the Lu family's downfall and came one after another to kick him while he was down. Unsurprisingly, everyone mocked him for selling his kidney to pay off his debts.
In addition, the people in the neighborhood started looking at him strangely.
After several such incidents, he dared not go out during the day, and whenever he went out at night, he would be cornered and brutally beaten by a group of people.
All the unusual things finally made him realize that someone was deliberately targeting him behind his back. Last night, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, and the other party said that he shouldn't have offended the Xie family's son-in-law so easily.
What's going on?
Xu Yanshu was caught off guard by this, and then he noticed the other person's bruised and swollen face, and his eyes twitched uncontrollably.
"Lu Guangxiong, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I did nothing wrong, so don't come here crying at the wrong grave!"
He hadn't intended to let the father and son off so easily, but there were priorities. He originally planned to deal with them after getting his marriage certificate with Xie Huanyu, but it seemed that some concerned citizens had taken matters into their own hands first.
Lu Guangxiong quickly changed his tune, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Yes, yes, yes, I deserve it. I'll definitely stay far away from you from now on!"
Ever since that day when I made a few complaints about Xu Yanshu in front of Xie Huanyu, this strange behavior has started.
He knew that the mastermind behind it all wanted to force him to bow down and submit to Xu Yanshu, and if this situation continued, he probably wouldn't be able to save his life.
Are you sick in the head?
Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently, not wanting to waste any more time with the other party, and walked past Lu Guangxiong to get into the car.
So who did it?
As Xu Yanshu drove, he pondered the matter to himself. Judging from Lu Guangxiong's reckless words just now, he knew that Lu Guangxiong had been treated very badly recently.
If he hadn't confirmed some information, he probably wouldn't have come looking for me with such a clear purpose...
He suddenly remembered the last time Lu Guangxiong went to wait for him at the Xie family's gate but was stopped by Xie Huanyu. Xu Yanshu immediately had the answer in his heart: this method of dealing with people was indeed in line with the Xie family's consistent style.
Hehe, in this way, the Lu family father and son won't dare to show off for a while.
Regardless, Xie Huanyu has done a good deed by ridding the people of a scourge.
...
Xie Residence
"Now that things have escalated to this point, I'm not counting on AC to invest in the Xie Group anymore. I'll try to attract other investments when the opportunity arises!"
The main issue is that Xu Yanshu has already approached Huang Dongsheng, and it's uncertain whether he has mentioned this matter to him. Huang Dongsheng is extremely averse to unfair competition in business, and if this financing deal completely offends Huang Dongsheng, it would be a loss.
Xie Huanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and obediently nodded in agreement, "Yes, I understand!"
"Young Master Zhou is going to a business cocktail party next Wednesday. You should go with him!"
Why should we let her go?
Xie Huanyu frowned in resistance, hesitating whether to add another sentence, when she heard the other person continue speaking on their own.
"Seeing that Xu Yanshu has no hope left, you should also consider your backup plan. If our two families could become in-laws, it would be of great benefit to the Xie family."
It was because Zhou Zehao showed interest in Huan Yu that day that he had this idea.
She didn't have any illusions about making her daughter the young mistress of the Zhou family, after all, she would be a divorced person in the future.
However, Zhou Zehao is, after all, the unique heir of the Zhou family. Apart from a short-term cooperation, it would definitely be beneficial for Huanyu to get closer to Zhou Zehao for the time being.
Is this an eagerness to exploit her again? Keep in mind, she and Xu Yanshu aren't officially divorced yet!
Xie Huanyu unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides, barely managing to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and a strong bitter taste spread between her lips and tongue.
She unconsciously recalled the way Zhou Zehao had looked her over that day, and a feeling of disgust washed over her, plunging her into an unprecedented sense of resistance...
A beat later, he realized that his father might have noticed this detail, which was why he had such a thought. A deep sense of mockery unconsciously spread from the depths of his eyes.
Seeing that the other person was still in a daze, Xie Junyang decided to be blunt, "Do you know what Xu Yanshu did while you were drinking and getting drunk?"
"He went to Chairman Huang and had him personally call me and say I shouldn't interfere in your divorce proceedings anymore. Tell me, at this point, do you think you can still continue living together?"
What?
Xie Huanyu looked up in disbelief, never expecting that Xu Yanshu would actually go to find Huang Dongsheng.
Then, recalling her father's earlier statement that He Wen possessed evidence that threatened the relationship between the Xie and Huang families, she belatedly realized that the other party was using the emperor to command the princes, and she immediately became furious.
Does being with me make him feel so stifled? To the point that he's gone to such lengths to achieve his goal!
With obvious anger flushed on her cheeks, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but curse, "Who does he think he is, daring to threaten us like this!"
"He may not amount to much, but if you don't stand up for yourself, he'll really start to ride roughshod over us!" Xie Junyang's eyes darkened, his tone carrying a strong warning.
Xie Huanyu immediately felt an invisible pressure. She nodded stiffly, her gaze becoming somewhat unfocused.
Rather than a father-daughter relationship, she was merely a pawn to her father, someone he could use at any time for his own benefit.
Xie Junyang observed all of this without making a sound, remaining silent and his deep eyes filled with indifference.
Jade must be carved to become a useful object. If she weren't so useless, I wouldn't have to worry about her so much right now.
"Well, that's all I need to tell you. If there's nothing else, you can go back now!"
"Okay, then I'll head back now!"
After everyone left, Xie Junyang pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and called Butler Wang over.
"Here's what we'll do: have someone keep watch around the Huang family's neighborhood. Make sure they don't slip up easily, and come and tell me immediately if there's anything unusual."
