Chapter 170 Father and Son Meet but Do Not Recognize Each Other



Lu Guangxiong suffered a mental breakdown and jumped from the top floor of the hospital.

Xu Yanshu stumbled upon this report on her phone. After a brief moment of surprise, she became somewhat confused, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.

Two days ago when I went to the hospital, Lu Guangxiong was still cursing himself for being despicable with great vigor. How could he suddenly...? And given his personality, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would easily seek death.

never mind

Xu Yanshu shook his head, casually tossed his phone onto the coffee table, and continued packing his luggage.

He plans to go to Chengdu tomorrow to finalize the relevant procedures and find a place to stay before officially moving there.

Fortunately, he was a man and didn't need to bring much; one suitcase was enough.

After tidying up his things, Xu Yanshu turned around and sat on the sofa. He casually lit a cigarette and smoked it, momentarily lost in thought.

He didn't actually have much affection for Kyoto; in fact, he even disliked and resented it.

He had planned long before this to move to another city with his grandmother after the divorce, but he never expected...

"So you really plan to leave Kyoto for Chengdu?"

An incredulous female voice interrupted the man's thoughts. The front door was ajar, and Xie Huanyu walked in from outside, wearing high heels.

Xu Yanshu frowned involuntarily at the aggressive demeanor, his tone subtly unfriendly, "Why are you here?"

"Just tell me, is that right!"

"Yes, I do plan to start a business in Chengdu."

It turns out Zhou Zehao wasn't lying to him...

Xie Huanyu hesitated, her gaze towards Xu Yanshu gradually turning sorrowful.

He didn't even mention such an important matter to him. Or was his purpose in going to Rongcheng to avoid him?

Such a gaze made Xu Yanshu somewhat uncomfortable, and he patiently began to explain.

"Xie Huanyu, I hope you understand that we are now divorced, so..."

“But this divorce wasn’t something I wanted at all,” Xie Huanyu interrupted as if she couldn’t bear it any longer, her eyes instantly reddening. “Did you really go to Rongcheng to start a business, or to find that Qin Shengyi?”

When she learned that Qin Shengyi had returned to Rongcheng, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would be no third person standing between her and Xu Yanshu. However, she never expected that he would actually plan to start a business in Rongcheng.

This relentless pursuit completely wore down Xu Yanshu's patience. His face fell, and he asked in a noncommittal tone, "..."

"So what if that's the case, Xie Huanyu? Am I destined to live under your control for the rest of my life?!"

Xie Huanyu instinctively denied it, "I'm not..."

“I’ve already made myself very clear. I hope we can go our separate ways. If you continue to harass me like this, I can’t guarantee I won’t take things too far.”

He felt he had done enough, not holding her accountable for the harm she had done in collusion with Lu Huai, nor for Xie Junyang's repeated attempts to kill him.

Besides that, he really didn't want to have any further involvement with Xie Huanyu.

After saying that, Xu Yanshu turned around and walked towards the balcony.

Looking at the man's aloof back, Xie Huanyu suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and finally calmed down.

Yes, it's good enough that Xu Yanshu doesn't hate him to the core. What right do I have to influence his decision?

"I'm sorry, I went too far!"

His body suddenly stiffened, a complex emotion flashing in the man's eyes, and he sighed almost inaudibly.

Since so much time has passed, there's no need for her to know anymore.

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, Xie Huanyu's eyes dimmed slightly. She took one last reluctant look at the person before turning around and leaving. After leaving the community, she got into a white Rolls-Royce.

Zhou Zehao raised his hand to signal the driver to start the car, then turned and raised an eyebrow at Xie Huanyu with interest.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Although the woman pretended to be indifferent in front of him, he could tell that Xie Huanyu actually cared about Xu Yanshu.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Xie Huanyu asked directly, her eyes lowered.

She painstakingly told him this story, hoping to turn him against Xu Yanshu and make him more easily manipulate and control her.

Since it's not the right time to completely break ties with Zhou Zehao, we might as well play along, figure out his intentions, and then we can better protect Yan Shu from risks.

She figured it out.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Zhou Zehao's eyes, and he curled his lips indifferently, thinking that this woman was not as foolish as he had imagined.

He made a gesture to put his arm around Xie Huanyu's shoulder, but she subtly avoided it, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her face, before speaking meaningfully.

"No rush, games are more fun when played slowly."

The old man's attention is now focused on Kyoto, so he's not foolish enough to commit a crime against the wind. Fortunately, that person is also planning to head to Chengdu.

Xie Huanyu nodded as if she understood, and subtly shifted her body to the other side.

One thing is one thing, and she had no intention of actually getting involved with Zhou Zehao because of this.

As she pondered, Xie Huanyu suddenly remembered something, and her eyes darkened almost imperceptibly.

Since Yan Shu is determined to develop her career in Rongcheng, perhaps she should find a way to inform that person, so that Zhou Zehao will have something to be wary of...
