Just as Xie Huanyu was wondering how to face Lu Huai, he took the initiative to contact her, and the two arranged to meet at a coffee shop.
"The company has now laid off all its employees and entered the final stage of asset liquidation. After that, it will officially announce the news of bankruptcy."
Seeing the man's gloomy expression, Xie Huanyu felt a mix of emotions. She wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to speak.
As soon as the news of the report came out, she knew that someone was deliberately targeting the Lu family behind the scenes, but she never expected that the person would be her own father.
Lu Huai shrugged, trying to appear relaxed, but his smile was visibly forced. "It's alright, Yu Bao, don't worry about me. We can always start over."
"I will definitely work hard from now on, and try my best to make myself worthy of you!"
"Yes, I believe you," Xie Huanyu said, moved. She nodded and replied, "I will stay with you. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
help?
Lu Huai inwardly scoffed at this; he had no need for such a spur-of-the-moment act of charity. Xie Junyang had ruined the Lu family, and he was determined to make him pay a terrible price.
“A man should be self-reliant. How could I possibly rely on you all the time? If I had to say something, I hope you would reconsider me. My feelings for you are no less than those for Xu Yanshu…”
"Don't mention him!" Xie Huan's expression suddenly turned cold, and she interrupted sharply, "Ah Huai, I told you before, there is absolutely no way I could fall in love with Xu Yanshu. I'm only staying in the marriage to torment him."
The man gave a bitter smile and said helplessly, "Knowing you as I do, you won't be happy if things continue like this."
Xie Huanyu turned her face away guiltily, and had to admit that Ah Huai really understood her. Ever since Xu Yanshu started proposing a divorce, she had never been truly happy.
“Huanyu, I personally think it’s unnecessary to sacrifice your own happiness because of hatred towards others. I haven’t seen you smile in a long time.”
"Perhaps divorce would be a relief for you. Even if you still don't choose me afterward, I hope you can seriously consider this possibility."
That old man is determined to bring Xu Yanshu and Xie Huanyu together, so let's do the opposite and see what it takes to break them up.
Moreover, only if Xie Huanyu gets divorced can he more easily control this woman and use her to take revenge on Xie Junyang.
Xie Huanyu was touched; these words seemed to make sense. "Ah Huai, thank you. I will seriously consider this matter."
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai smiled gently at the person and then reached out to gently pat Xie Huanyu's head. "Okay, you should be happier."
She should be the one comforting and reassuring Ah Huai, so why is it that he's the one comforting her now?
Xie Huanyu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated. The guilt deep in her heart began to ferment once again.
"Yes, I'll support whatever you want to do. Don't worry about funding; I'll take care of that!"
"But……"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xie Huanyu glared at Lu Huai with feigned strength, her tone leaving no room for argument, "You are not allowed to refuse me on this matter!"
The Lu family was targeted because of her, and since Ah Huai was determined to start over, she naturally wanted to provide as much help as possible in this matter.
Lu Huai hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a troubled expression, his eyes flashing with an unfathomable light.
Since that's the case, I'll just consider it as collecting some interest from the Xie family in advance.
Xie Huanyu was finally satisfied. She wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly noticed a familiar figure.
How did he end up here?
She immediately stood up from her seat and walked over in a few quick steps. Sure enough, it was Xu Yanshu.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the company right now?"
Xu Yanshu felt awkward for a moment, then explained in a cold voice, "I just finished entertaining my business partners, and then I ran into a friend, so I came over for a cup of coffee."
Unsure whether the other party had seen Attorney Li, he had to say he was with a friend, just to be on the safe side.
He had indeed just seen off his business partner, but his meeting with Attorney Li was arranged in advance.
I met with Attorney Li today mainly to hand over some materials that a private investigator had collected. I thought there wouldn't be any major problems, but it turns out that a large part of them cannot be used as evidence due to legality issues.
"Mr. Xu, you're here too!" Lu Huai followed up unhurriedly and waved to him.
How could she forget that Ah Huai is still here?
A fleeting look of annoyance crossed Xie Huanyu's eyes. She glanced at Xu Yanshu again, realizing her mistake and becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
She just walked over from her seat like that. In this situation, she should be worried about whether Ah Huai would feel uncomfortable. Why is she looking at Xu Yanshu's expression now?
Xu Yanshu paid no attention to Lu Huai's provocation; she was only thinking about how to obtain more compelling evidence so that she could file for divorce more smoothly in the future.
"Well, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!" With that, Xu Yanshu picked up his briefcase and walked out of the coffee shop.
Just like that, you left?
Xie Huanyu pouted unhappily, his eyes revealing a hint of resentment. He should at least ask her and A-Huai why they were here.
Watching the other person's hurried departure, Lu Huai vaguely sensed something was amiss and thoughtfully asked, "Huan Yu, do you really think Xu Yanshu came here for coffee with a friend?"
The reason given—to have coffee with a friend you bumped into after a social engagement—is rather far-fetched, sounding like a fabricated story to cover up the truth.
Yes, Xie Huanyu belatedly realized what was happening, and her exquisitely made-up face gradually darkened.
In all the years of their marriage, she had never heard of Xu Yanshu having any friends.
If she remembers correctly, this popular cafe requires advance reservations, so the claim that it was a spur-of-the-moment decision is simply untenable.
So why is he here?
Turning her head to look at the booth next to her, Xie Huanyu fell into deep thought. There must be something strange about this, otherwise Xu Yanshu wouldn't have made up such a lie to deceive her.
Overwhelmed with doubts, she gradually became irritable, thinking to herself that Xu Yanshu had really grown too big for his britches and now dared to blatantly deceive her.
Observing everything silently, Lu Huai spoke up at the opportune moment, "Yu Bao, I remember this coffee shop has surveillance cameras."
