Thump thump thump—
A knock on the door startled Xu Yanshu, who was engrossed in processing documents. He cleared his throat, responded to the door, and stretched his limbs.
Xie Huanyu, dressed in a business suit and high heels, walked in from outside. Her makeup was noticeably more refined than usual. After stopping, she spoke directly.
"Chairman Song is celebrating his 60th birthday tonight. He called us this morning. Let's go together tonight!"
"I've already arranged for someone to send a congratulatory gift, so I won't be going tonight," Xu Yanshu refused without hesitation.
Although the doctor kept saying he would try to find a solution, he knew that the problem of insufficient blood supply to the brain was not easy to solve, and seeing that his grandmother showed no signs of waking up, his feelings became more and more complicated.
Now he just wants to spend as much time as possible with his grandmother, and apart from the things he has to handle himself, he doesn't want to waste time on meaningless things anymore.
Xie Huanyu had already guessed that the man might refuse, but Xu Yanshu never seemed to look at her seriously from beginning to end, which made her instantly furious, and her voice suddenly rose.
"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you that you have to come with me!"
Xu Yanshu didn't understand what this woman was up to again. His handsome brows furrowed slightly as he tried to communicate with her, "Xie Huanyu, Grandma's current condition..."
"Didn't you say you could handle it yourself?" Xie Huanyu interrupted, arms crossed, her pretty face showing arrogance. "So don't bring up Grandma now."
I came to his office specifically for such a trivial matter, which was already giving him a way out, but I didn't expect him to be so ungrateful.
When her grandmother first had the accident, she wanted to help take care of her, but he refused to accept her kindness, and now he's using this excuse to reject her again.
Xu Yanshu hesitated, looking at the spoiled and domineering woman in front of him. He suddenly felt a little lost, not understanding why he had loved her for so many years.
I thought she was just too blinded by Lu Huai's acting skills and wasn't really unable to distinguish right from wrong, but I didn't expect that she would still choose to protect Lu Huai when it came to matters of life and death.
His grandmother was still unconscious, and he didn't intend to argue with Xie Huanyu about their positions. He was going to pursue the matter to the end anyway, but he didn't expect the other party to cause trouble for no reason.
Feeling more exhausted than ever before, Xu Yanshu's brows furrowed, and his tone became pleading.
"Xie Huanyu, I really can't go these next few days. Can I go with you to another event later?"
Seeing that the other party had finally shown weakness, Xie Huanyu smiled with satisfaction and was about to give in. However, remembering his recent attitude towards her, she firmly refused.
"No, you have to come with me tonight. See you at the garage at eight o'clock!"
After saying that, Xie Huanyu resolutely turned and walked out of the office.
Why make things so difficult for him?
With bloodshot eyes, Xu Yanshu's face gradually darkened, and he unconsciously exuded a strong aura of malevolence.
The more this is the case, the less he can easily compromise...
——
Having said all that, Xie Huanyu subconsciously assumed that Xu Yanshu would definitely go. However, when he arrived at the garage, he was surprised to find Lu Huai standing next to his car.
"Ah Huai, what are you doing here?"
This question made Lu Huai vaguely realize that something was wrong, and he asked in confusion, "Didn't you ask your assistant to tell me to accompany you to Chairman Song's birthday banquet?"
He was somewhat flattered when he received the message, but Xie Huanyu never contacted him again after their unpleasant parting that day.
I thought Xie Huanyu had forgiven me, but now it seems that's not the case.
Xu Yanshu!
Xie Huanyu's expression suddenly changed, and she almost gritted her teeth to pieces. She never expected that Xu Yanshu would dare to be so outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.
Taking in the changes in the woman's expression, Lu Huai immediately guessed what was going on, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This Xu Yanshu actually dared to play him!
"Yu Bao, it's getting late, let's head out now..."
Xie Huanyu waved her hand in refusal, "I'm not going. I've already had my assistant send the gift over!"
Not to mention that she has no mood to attend the banquet at all, if she appears in public with Ah Huai again, her father probably won't let her off so easily.
Sensing the woman's distant attitude, Lu Huai's heart sank. He cautiously probed, "Huan Yu, are you still angry with me?"
"No, you're overthinking it," Xie Huanyu replied calmly, her expression slightly cold. "As long as you can be true to yourself, that's all that matters."
If it weren't for the fact that he lied, she wouldn't have felt so insecure in front of Xu Yanshu.
So are you questioning my character?
"I'm not..."
"Yes, it was wrong of me not to tell you immediately, but I was just afraid you would misunderstand me. Do you mean you really did something to hurt Grandma?"
"After knowing you for so many years, is this the kind of person you see me, Lu Huai?" Lu Huai's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, his harsh words making him seem as if he had been greatly insulted.
No matter how much evidence Xu Yanshu can find, if he wants to get away unscathed, he must convince Xie Huanyu that he did nothing.
I……
Xie Huanyu stood there stunned, not expecting Lu Huai to suddenly become so agitated. She stared at the man in front of her, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
She meant that the innocent are innocent, and she didn't mean to question the other person's character. I don't know why the other person interpreted it that way.
Lu Huai softened his expression at the opportune moment, sighed, and spoke again to himself, "Yu Bao, this really is just a coincidence. You are the most important person to me."
"If you don't even believe me, I really don't know what to do!"
"I didn't say I didn't believe you!" Seeing this, Xie Huanyu felt inexplicably guilty, and her attitude naturally softened. She waved her hand awkwardly, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore!"
"But I really'm not in the mood for the banquet. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'll contact you again when I have time."
She needs to find Xu Yanshu and ask him clearly who gave him the audacity to play tricks on her like this.
"Where are you going next? I happen to be free, how about I be your driver!"
Xie Huanyu hesitated slightly, "No need, I'm going to the hospital..."
"Don't worry, I'll leave as soon as I get you there, and I definitely won't bother you any further!"
