Xu Yanshu was a little confused when he suddenly received a call from Zhou Zehao saying that he wanted to talk to him alone, but he still gladly accepted the invitation.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Xu Yanshu immediately spotted Zhou Zehao sitting by the window. He promptly walked over, sat down, and got straight to the point.
"Speak, what exactly do you want from me?"
Zhou Zehao shrugged dismissively and said nonchalantly, "You've misunderstood. The person looking for you is someone else."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Huanyu walked over from a corner.
That's right!
Xu Yanshu's face immediately darkened completely. Xie Huanyu had been trying to contact him with various numbers these past few days, but he had nipped them in the bud. He never expected that this woman would team up with Zhou Zehao to cause such a scene.
According to Zhou Zehao, Xu Yanshu did not go on any business trip at all.
Xie Huanyu unconsciously clenched his hands at his sides. Although it hadn't been long since they last met, looking at Xu Yanshu now, he felt as if it were a lifetime ago.
"This is a rare opportunity, you two should have a good chat!" Zhou Zehao stood up from his booth, said this, and then turned and walked out of the coffee shop.
"Xu Yanshu, why did you let He Wen lie to me that you went on a business trip?" Xie Huanyu walked up to the man and questioned him indignantly.
She no longer intended to force Yan Shu to do anything, yet Yan Shu still avoided her like the plague, which was perhaps a bit too hurtful.
Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently. Instead of answering, he asked, "So what exactly do you want from me?"
Can't I contact him if there's nothing wrong?
Xie Huanyu muttered to herself, looking up at the man's icy face. A sense of grievance unexpectedly welled up inside her, and her delicate eyes turned slightly red.
Before this, Xie Huanyu was a glamorous young lady. When had she ever suffered such grievances? Even if she had made many mistakes in the past, things had changed. Why did he still treat her with such an attitude?
After waiting for a long time without the other party speaking, Xu Yanshu's patience was completely exhausted, and he suddenly stood up from the booth.
Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Xie Huanyu reached out and grabbed Xu Yanshu's arm just in time, her voice trembling with a hint of tears as she asked the question.
"Does it really have to be this way? Can't we even be ordinary friends...?"
“I can’t do it,” Xu Yanshu said without hesitation, shaking off the woman’s hand that was holding him. His eyes were cold and icy. “The best outcome for the two of us is to leave each other alone and live our own lives peacefully.”
After saying that, Xu Yanshu strode out of the coffee shop and turned back to his Maybach.
They actually teamed up with Zhou Zehao to deceive me; they're truly hopeless.
Xu Yanshu reached out and loosened his tie, about to start the car, when his phone, which he had placed aside, suddenly rang.
[Caller: Shengyi]
Why is Shengyi calling me at this time?
Xu Yanshu was slightly surprised, and the emotion in his eyes softened. He reached out and swiped to answer the call.
"Hey, Shengyi!"
"Brother Yan Shu, I have some good news to tell you, guess what it is?"
Hearing the girl's excited tone, Xu Yanshu unconsciously curled his lips, thought for a moment, and then tentatively spoke.
Are you coming back soon?
"You...you can't be so smart, can't you just leave me with a little mystery!"
Meanwhile, Ouyang Ming was being judged by Qin Yao's gaze.
Qin Yao crossed her arms and questioned with a gloomy expression, "You agreed to let Nannan come back without even consulting me. Who gave you that right?"
"I...it's just that Nannan kept begging me, and I softened and agreed!"
"Moreover, Nannan has expressed more than once that she is not happy working at the branch office. He has been gone for so long, it's time for the child to come back!"
Ouyang Ming explained with a forced smile, though he couldn't help feeling a little guilty inside.
He did have a moment of weakness, but he also had his own little schemes in this matter.
Seeing that his boss, Mr. Qin, had no intention of letting his daughter return, and knowing that Shengyi would have to stay abroad for who knows how long if he continued to let things go, he had no choice but to act first and inform her later.
A doting father often spoils his son!
Qin Yao glared at the person in front of her with disapproval; this was a complete liability.
As a mother, it's impossible for her not to miss her daughter at all. She was planning to visit her daughter at the branch office sometime, but she didn't expect this girl to be even faster than her.
Words spoken are like water spilled; now that things have come to this, they can't take them back. Otherwise, their image as parents might be completely destroyed in Sheng Yi's mind.
"Since you were the one who said it, you're in charge of keeping an eye on Shengyi after she comes back. You absolutely can't let her sneak out to see that Xu guy again!"
The reason I was so determined to let Nannan stay at the branch office for a while longer was to let her calm down on her own, so that she wouldn't get carried away by love again and get entangled with Xu Yanshu, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.
Now that things have escalated to this point, there shouldn't be any further entanglement between them!
Ouyang Ming was skeptical, but he didn't actually say it aloud. Fortunately, his wife tacitly agreed to let Shengyi return to China.
"Okay, no problem, I will definitely complete this task perfectly!"
Qin Yao glanced at Ouyang Ming noncommittally, then her expression softened. "How's the arrangement with the private investigator going? Any progress?"
Seeing that the Mu family and Mu Yichen's side had almost finished cleaning up, she couldn't swallow her anger when she thought of Zhou Zehao's arrogant attitude at the time.
That's why I thought of investigating Zhou Zehao privately. I don't necessarily have to take action against him, but it would be good if I could make him wary.
When the topic turned to business, Ouyang Ming's expression immediately became serious, and he frowned almost imperceptibly. "The arrangements have been made, but so far there have been no results."
"This person seems to be far more cunning than we imagined."
Qin Yao wasn't particularly surprised by this, her gaze subtly deepening. "He dares to act so arrogantly in front of me, so he must have some skills, but a fox will always show its tail eventually."
"Keep someone following them, and keep me updated on any progress immediately."
