"You didn't mention this to Huanyu, did you?"
"Not yet!"
"That's good. Don't tell Huanyu about this."
Xu Yanshu readily agreed, a sly glint in his eyes.
Of course, Xie Huanyu shouldn't know about this easily. If she were to interfere, things might not achieve the desired effect, and complications could easily arise.
After the call ended, Xu Yanshu turned and went back to the living room.
Just as he was about to put down his phone, a new call came in.
[Caller: Lu Huai]
Xu Yanshu unconsciously frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then swiped to answer the call.
"Hey, it's me!"
"Xu Yanshu, come to Ruyue Bar quickly! Huanyu and I are here!"
A disgruntled voice came from the side, "Why did you call him? He'll only spoil the mood!"
hehe!
Xu Yanshu gave a silent, cold laugh, thinking to himself that women's words really are deceitful.
He made a solemn promise to Xie Junyang yesterday, but the moment he turned around, he was hanging out with Lu Huai again.
Fortunately, he had long since given up on Xie Huanyu, so he wouldn't have too many unnecessary emotions about it now.
"I won't go, you guys have fun," Xu Yanshu politely declined, then added 'kindly' reminded him, "But if possible, you'd better go home early!"
Judging from Xie Junyang's tone just now, he's probably about to take action against the Lu family. Already in a precarious situation, this incident might very well lead to their bankruptcy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huai assumed the other party was just being sour grapes and immediately hung up the phone.
He turned to look at the woman beside him, "Yu Bao..."
"Ah Huai, you shouldn't have made that call!" Xie Huanyu's tone was inexplicable.
She decided to come here to relax because she was feeling frustrated, but she never expected to run into Ah Huai here.
After all, her father had repeatedly warned her, and she planned to stay for a short while and then leave early. However, when she returned from the restroom, she heard Lu Huai talking on the phone with Xu Yanshu.
The man had been bringing this up all along, and Ah Huai just deliberately gave him more ammunition.
Sensing the blame in his words, Lu Huai's expression darkened slightly. "So, are you blaming me now?"
It was one thing for Xie Junyang to keep his eyes on the Lu family, but this woman also began to openly favor Xu Yanshu.
Lu Huai secretly became wary, realizing he should perhaps change his strategy, otherwise his chances of winning would become increasingly slim.
I……
Xie Huanyu hesitated, but didn't blame her. She just felt that there was no need to make such a call.
"I misspoke, I'll punish myself with three drinks!"
As she spoke, Xie Huanyu reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of her, but the man stopped her first.
"You're not feeling well, drink less!" Without waiting for a reply, Lu Huai snatched the wine glass from the woman's hand and said in a deep voice, his expression inscrutable, "I really didn't think things through just now!"
"I noticed you seemed downcast earlier, and I assumed there had been some conflict between you and Xu Yanshu,"
"That's why I thought of asking him to come over so you could communicate face-to-face. It was my fault for not consulting you beforehand."
So that's how it is...
Xie Huanyu suddenly realized what had happened, and when she thought about her attitude towards A Huai earlier, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
My father has always been prejudiced against Ah Huai, which is why he strongly opposes my friendship with him.
She shouldn't let her thoughts be swayed so easily. Not to mention that they've known each other for so many years, Ah Huai has always put himself in her shoes.
"Ah Huai, I..."
"Huanyu, my feelings for you are no less than Xu Yanshu's. The reason I chose to let go is so that you can have the most perfect happiness in the world."
Staring intently at Xie Huanyu, Lu Huai solemnly said, "If you are unhappy, I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."
The reason he didn't make things clear before was because he was worried about how he would be able to extricate himself from the situation later. However, his biological father had always hoped that he could marry Xie Huanyu. Compared to becoming Xu Yanshu's defeated opponent, marriage didn't seem so unacceptable.
Deeply moved by these words, Xie Huanyu's eyes gradually reddened, and she nodded heavily.
Compared to Xu Yanshu, who was always playing mind games with her and always trying to win, Ah Huai was clearly the one she should cherish more.
Lu Huai tenderly wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the woman's eyes, his tone extremely gentle, "Silly girl, why are you still crying?"
The sudden intimate gesture made Xie Huanyu feel a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously wanted to step back, but when she looked up, she unexpectedly met the man's affectionate eyes, and something inside her stirred.
Lu Huai pretended not to notice, immediately stood up from his seat, and waved to Xie Huanyu, "Let's go!"
"Where to?" Xie Huanyu asked, puzzled.
"It's not a good time to stay here when you're in a bad mood. We haven't been to the Western Coast for a long time, so let's go for a walk!"
It has indeed been a long time since I went to the beach.
Xie Huanyu nodded, accepting the request with great pleasure, and then got up and walked out of the private room with Lu Huai.
Meanwhile, the brightly lit Lu residence was filled with rage.
"This Lu Guangxiong has really eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard! He actually dared to plot against me."
She thought she had made herself clear enough, but the Lu family father and son were still delusional enough to want Huanyu to marry into the family and even took it upon themselves to approach Xu Yanshu. It was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.
Butler Wang, who had been waiting quietly to the side, interjected at the opportune moment, "Master, since that's the case, perhaps we should teach the Lu family another lesson."
"A little isn't enough," Xie Junyang waved his hand dismissively, his expression solemn. "For scoundrels like that..."
"As long as you don't kill him, he'll think you're incompetent, and then he'll become even more demanding!"
Apart from the matter of Huan Yu, the Lu family did not hinder him in terms of interests, so he did not intend to go too far at first. He did not expect the other party to be so unrestrained.
Xie Junyang softened his tone slightly, then spoke again on his own, "So, how's the thing I asked you to keep an eye on going?"
"The problems within Lu's Company are more numerous than we imagined. What we've gathered so far is enough to give them a run for their money!"
"In that case, let's hand it over. I'll call the director later. There's no need to let these clowns keep jumping around."
Since the Lu family is slow to learn their lesson, let's put an end to their hopes and end the matter once and for all.
As he pondered, Xie Junyang narrowed his eyes meaningfully. He would never easily let anything slip out of his control.
