That evening, Xu Yanshu received a call from Attorney Li.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, I can no longer accept your case. I have already refunded the litigation fees in full to your account."
What?
Xu Yanshu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Attorney Li would suddenly go back on his word.
From the very beginning, he made it clear to Attorney Li that he was going to sue the Xie family, but the latter still took the case.
Later, he learned that Li Lu was a rich second-generation from Yuncheng, whose family background was no less than that of the Xie family, so he was not afraid of being retaliated against by Xie Huanyu.
Their communication had been going very smoothly before this, and this situation should not have occurred unless there were other factors interfering.
"Li Lu, what happened?"
The person on the other end of the line lowered their voice noticeably. "To be honest, Miss Xie found me, and she has already found a suitable bone marrow donor for my wife."
So that's how it is...
Xu Yanshu suddenly realized what was going on, and then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, holding it between his fingers without lighting it.
Li Lu's wife was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. Only a bone marrow transplant can cure her completely, but a suitable match has not been found yet, and the patient's condition is getting worse.
After learning about this, he asked his friends to help search, but unfortunately, there has been no progress...
Xu Yanshu couldn't help but feel a little complicated when he didn't expect Xie Huanyu to find a match so quickly.
This was meant to explain why Li Lu wouldn't accept his commission. Anyone else would have chosen to compromise, since nothing else matters in the face of life.
Despite the unexpected turn of events, he should not and will not harbor resentment towards Li Lu because of it.
"Mr. Xu, I'm so sorry about this..."
After calming down, Xu Yanshu spoke up, "Li Lu, don't say that. It's a good thing that a suitable match has been found. Take good care of your sister-in-law."
After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the ceiling and, after a moment, couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Not to mention that a suitable lawyer cannot be found in the short term, Xie Huanyu already knows about this matter, which will make the appeal process even more difficult.
Beep beep beep—
The sound of a password being entered came from the doorway, and Xie Huanyu strode in aggressively, her red high heels clicking on the floor.
Upon hearing the noise, Xu Yanshu subconsciously sat up, only to be caught off guard by the woman's cold, piercing gaze.
"Xu Yanshu, you're really something!" Xie Huanyu squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.
It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover. She never expected that Xu Yanshu would even want to sue her in order to divorce her, and that he would even be secretly collecting evidence.
If Ah Huai hadn't reminded her in time, she probably would have received a court summons very soon.
"I had no other choice," Xu Yanshu said helplessly. "Everyone gets married for happiness, but we've ended up like this."
"In that case, there's no need for this marriage to continue."
How dare you speak so confidently here?
Xie Huanyu was furious. Noticing the water glass on the coffee table, she immediately picked it up and splashed it all over Xu Yanshu's face without hesitation.
Since he can't find his place, she'll help him wake up.
She crossed her arms and looked at the man with an arrogant expression, saying, "Are you awake now, Xu Yanshu? I advise you to recognize your place."
"Since you dared to provoke me in the first place, unless I get tired of you one day, you'll never be able to get rid of me for the rest of your life!"
Originally, after being persuaded by Ah Huai, she wanted to seriously consider the matter of divorce, but now that Xu Yanshu was going to such lengths to achieve his goal, she changed her mind.
This marriage can't be dissolved so easily. I need to wait until I've had my fill of fun, otherwise it would be too easy for this man.
Wasn't it she who dragged me down with her back then...?
Xu Yanshu frowned painfully, his heart heavy with a sense of unease, as if a large stone were pressing down on it.
Looking quietly at the person standing in front of him, he couldn't understand how Xie Huanyu could hate him to such an extent that she would sacrifice herself just to torment him.
Seeing the person in front of her instantly turn to despair, Xie Huanyu felt a mix of emotions. She unconsciously clenched her hands, and her exquisite manicure pierced her flesh.
Does being with me cause him so much pain?
"Okay, let's just wait it out!"
Xu Yanshu spoke indifferently, then got up and walked to the kitchen on his own, starting to prepare dinner without saying a word, all his movements were like those of a machine.
Is he doing this on purpose for his own benefit, or is he trying to express his protest in this way?
Calming her inner discomfort, Xie Huanyu observed everything, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Without saying anything more, she turned and went back to the master bedroom.
Seeing the other person close the door, Xu Yanshu could no longer contain himself and slammed the rag in his hand onto the counter, his face as gloomy as a demon returned from hell.
Why? She was the one who cheated on me first, so why can't I file for divorce?!
He never owed her anything. In recent years, he had devoted almost all his energy and time to the company, and he had done his utmost for the Xie family.
Unable to process the pent-up frustration in his chest, Xu Yanshu turned and walked out of the kitchen, picked up his car keys from the dining table, and went out the door.
Thud—
The man had just left the room when Xie Huanyu came out, intending to have a serious talk with Xu Yanshu, only to find that he had already left.
Her forced composure crumbled instantly, and her face flushed with anger. This man was getting more and more temperamental.
Xu Yanshu drove incredibly fast the whole way. The thought of having to continue living this oppressive life made him impulsively want to end it all...
No, there's also Grandma!
Xu Yanshu suddenly realized what was happening. He slowed down the car and pulled over to the side of the road. Then he lit a cigarette and started smoking.
I was so angry I lost my mind; I actually had suicidal thoughts just now...
If that's the case, it will only hurt those close to him and please his enemies. The reason he wants a divorce is that he doesn't want to accept his fate like this.
Xu Yanshu gradually calmed down amidst the swirling smoke. He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, considering how to proceed.
He couldn't possibly wait until Xie Huanyu was completely tired of him before getting a divorce. Otherwise, before that day even arrived, he would have already been tamed into a puppet without any independent thought by Xie Junyang.
Gazing at the pitch-black night sky, Xu Yanshu felt utterly lost. What should he do...?
