Chapter Fourteen: Grandma is Missing!



Two ribs were fractured, and I need to rest for half a month.

In order to recover as soon as possible, Xu Yanshu chose to be hospitalized. Apart from asking for leave from the company, he did not disturb anyone else.

Coincidentally, Lu Huai was also admitted to the same hospital, and he overheard the nurses talking about it.

"These rich people are really precious. They have to be hospitalized for a little fright, and in a VIP room at that!"

"So what kind of person is that Lu guy? Xie Huanyu is the CEO of Xie Group, yet she's been personally taking care of him for so many years without showing the slightest impatience!"

"It's said that the two have been together since college, so it's estimated that good news is coming soon!"

This might just be a case of different fates for different people!

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, knowing that his heart wasn't made of stone. No wonder he hadn't received a single phone call in so many days.

He couldn't explain why he rushed forward to block Xie Huanyu's path back then, and he probably would have done the same thing again if given the chance.

Even though he was willing to risk his life for Xie Huanyu, she still chose to walk towards Lu Huai, without even sparing him a glance.

At that moment, Xu Yanshu truly felt like a clown.

At this point, his feelings for Xie Huanyu were completely dead, and he became even more determined to get a divorce.

...

Wanting to end everything as soon as possible, Xu Yanshu decided to be discharged from the hospital early.

That day, Xu Yanshu immediately went to a lawyer to learn about the lawsuit process before turning around and returning to his apartment.

Xu Yanshu had just stepped inside when Xie Huanyu returned from outside.

"Where have you been all these days? There's so much going on at the company, and you haven't taken care of anything..."

Impatient to listen to the end, Xu Yanshu interrupted without giving a chance to finish.

"I took a vacation!"

Although he didn't expect Xie Huanyu to take the initiative to care about him, he didn't expect to be criticized by the other party so impatiently.

This statement infuriated Xie Huanyu, who retorted angrily,

"Xu Yanshu, how childish are you? It's just that I didn't check on you in time that day, is it really necessary for you to sulk and disappear for so many days?"

The situation was so chaotic, and Ah Huai was in so much pain, yet he walked away without a word, causing her to lose face in front of her friends.

Sulking?

Xu Yanshu was so angry he laughed. This woman actually thought he was just being stubborn with him?

Lu Huai was only slightly frightened and ended up in the hospital for several days, while she actually thought she would be unharmed after being kicked more than a meter away!

This reaction left Xie Huanyu somewhat bewildered. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed the brown paper bag on the side.

She reached out to take it without thinking, but Xu Yanshu snatched it away first.

Inside are my medical records and the CT scan I took at the time. Because I was discharged early, I will need to go back to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and I will need these things then.

Xu Yanshu hadn't intended to bring it up specifically, and since Xie Huanyu thought so, there was even less need for him to see it.

"What's inside? Give it to me!"

Xie Huanyu narrowed her eyes unhappily. Seeing that the other party was reluctant to hand it over, she made a move to snatch it, but unexpectedly punched Xu Yanshu in the ribs.

hiss--

Xu Yanshu couldn't help but gasp, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. A surge of anger rose within him, and he angrily threw the paper bag at Xie Huanyu's feet.

The man's strange expression made Xie Huanyu realize something was wrong. She squatted down, picked up the paper bag, and stared in astonishment at its contents.

"How could this be..."

She suddenly recalled the scene of Xu Yanshu being kicked to the ground that day, and Xie Huanyu's expression began to become somewhat uneasy.

She thought that since Xu Yanshu was able to leave quietly, he must be fine, but she didn't expect him to be so badly injured.

Then why did he say he was taking a break...? Xie Huanyu suddenly remembered that her assistant had told her that Xu Yanshu had taken half a month of sick leave.

"So why didn't you tell me?"

Looking at the woman's guilty expression with amusement, Xu Yanshu retorted, "What good would it do if I told you? Weren't you busy taking care of Lu Huai at the time?"

"You've misunderstood, I just went to take a look..."

Xu Yanshu gestured for them to stop, then solemnly said, "I hope you can consider divorce, and I will also resign from the company afterward."

“If you continue to refuse to sign, then I will sue.”

Rather than right or wrong, he just wanted to sever ties with Xie Huanyu as soon as possible and leave the city completely.

Another divorce!

The explanation that was about to come out was swallowed back, and Xie Huanyu's face immediately turned gloomy.

One thing at a time, I shouldn't have misunderstood him so easily, but that doesn't mean he can wrong me at will, much less give him the right to bring up divorce so casually.

She did visit Lu Huai at the hospital, but only for a short while. Otherwise, she was extremely busy at the company.

Xie Huanyu crossed her arms and looked at the man with an arrogant expression.

"Xu Yanshu, you can't fight city hall. Do you really think any lawyer would dare to represent you in your divorce case? Even if they did, what are the chances of winning?"

The Xie family has a dedicated legal team that brings together all the elite lawyers in Kyoto. They have never lost a case in recent years, so outsiders dare not easily take the Xie family to court.

Xu Yanshu was speechless with anger, then pressed on furiously, asking,

"Why are you doing this? Don't you want to be with Lu Huai openly and honestly?"

"Of course I want to!" Xie Huanyu nodded without hesitation, then smiled with a playful expression and said slowly, "But compared to that, I prefer to torment you. The more pain you suffer, the happier I am."

He was the one who wanted to start a relationship and then abandon her, yet he's here spouting high-sounding platitudes about helping her and Lu Huai get together. If that were really the case, he should have filed for divorce as soon as Lu Huai returned to the country.

This statement made Xu Yanshu feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness; Xie Huanyu was a woman who was more extreme and obsessive than he had imagined.

Just as the stalemate was reaching its conclusion, a bell rang, breaking the stillness in the air.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, your grandmother is missing!"

Xu Yanshu suddenly stood up from the sofa. "How could she be gone? Where is Aunt Xu?"

"Wasn't Aunt Xu called away by Miss Xie a few days ago?"
