After going through all the previous procedures, Xie Huanyu suddenly hesitated when it came time to sign the papers.
Noticing that the woman hadn't started writing, the staff member couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Xie, what's going on?"
At that time, Xu Yanshu had already signed the divorce agreement. Seeing the woman stop what she was doing, he noticed a hint of tension in her expression.
This was a rare opportunity. If she signed this document, once the thirty-day cooling-off period was over, he could smoothly sever ties with the Xie family.
"I suddenly don't want a divorce anymore!"
After saying that, Xie Huanyu suddenly stood up from her seat and walked out without looking back.
Xu Yanshu's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately got up to chase after the person in front.
"Xie Huanyu, what's the point of going back on your word like this? Didn't you say you would never regret it?"
"You've even resorted to provocation to achieve your goal, Xu Yanshu, you're really something!" Xie Huanyu raised her eyes and gave the man a cold glare, saying irritably, "The more you do this, the less likely I am to let you have your way!"
No wonder she felt something was off before she came in; it turns out Xu Yanshu had been deliberately provoking her the whole time.
"Want a divorce? No way!"
Xu Yanshu paused slightly, and his heart sank to the bottom. He should have known things wouldn't go so smoothly.
As Xie Huanyu walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, she immediately saw her elderly father waiting by the roadside. After a slight surprise, she took three steps and walked over to him.
"you……"
Understanding what her father was worried about, Xie Huanyu explained succinctly, "I didn't sign it!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Junyang's expression softened slightly, but his gaze towards his daughter inevitably carried a hint of reproach.
He hadn't expected Xu Yanshu to come out so quickly. He was just about to ask about the details when he heard the butler say that the two of them had come to the Civil Affairs Bureau together.
Realizing that things might get out of his control, he immediately rushed over.
Xu Yanshu also came over, and when he saw Xie Junyang there, he confirmed his previous guess.
That old fox was indeed watching me from the shadows all the time!
Xie Junyang looked at Xu Yanshu with a forced smile and asked with feigned concern, "Yanshu, were you scared?"
"Actually, this kind of investigation is just a formality, it's nothing serious!"
The person who managed to get Xu Yanshu out in such a short time must have a powerful background and connections. Before today, he had no idea that Xu Yanshu had such connections.
It seems I was really careless before; Xu Yanshu has never been a clever person.
"Chairman Xie, you're joking," Xu Yanshu replied with ease, a formulaic smile on his face. "I'm someone you personally trained, after all. I'm not going to be scared by such a small stunt."
"But you, being of advanced age, still need to be more careful in all aspects."
As long as he doesn't back down and refuse to admit defeat, this marriage will eventually end. At worst, I can just keep dragging this out with the Xie family.
Xie Junyang, however, was unsure of exactly what he possessed, so he had to remain constantly on edge throughout the process.
Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two, Xie Huanyu's expression turned slightly serious, and she unconsciously clenched her hands.
She never expected that Xu Yanshu would be so arrogant in front of her father.
"If you have no further advice, then I'll be leaving now!"
Before the other party could react, Xu Yanshu lifted his foot and strode away.
It's a wonder he still remembers that he's the one I trained, yet now he's constantly going against me!
Xie Junyang's face was ashen, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. Victory or defeat was not a matter of the moment; sooner or later, he would teach him what submission meant through his actions.
"Dad, I..."
"We'll talk about it when we get home!" Xie Junyang interrupted coldly.
Xie Huanyu had no choice but to shut up. The father and daughter returned to the Xie residence together, and only after arriving home did he explain the whole story.
"That's how it is. I didn't really want to agree; I was just... momentarily angered!"
"Idiot!" Xie Junyang cursed angrily, "You fell for such a low-level provocation? Has your brain been eaten by a dog?"
Xie Huanyu silently lowered her head, secretly wondering how she could be considered a victim of a scam when she hadn't even signed anything.
Even if he did sign the papers, there would still be a cooling-off period afterward. It wouldn't be so easy for Xu Yanshu to sever ties with the Xie family so easily.
Xu Yanshu was quite despicable; in order to achieve his goal, he actually thought of provoking him in this way.
It's a good thing he didn't sign it, otherwise who knows how Xu Yanshu would have rebelled.
Xie Junyang's expression softened slightly. Thinking about what his daughter had just said, he thoughtfully asked, "..."
"You're saying Xu Yanshu and Qin Shengyi from AC are getting very close?"
Because he was hoping that AC would invest in the company, he had done his research beforehand. However, Qin Shengyi's background was very mysterious, and no matter how he investigated, he could not find any information.
"Yes." Mentioning this topic, Xie Huanyu immediately became indignant, gritting her teeth as she said, "That woman surnamed Qin has been throwing herself at him!"
"But didn't I keep having you contact AC? So how's it going now?"
When this was mentioned, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel a little guilty. "Qin Shengyi had arranged to meet with me before, but I've been busy with the company lately and haven't had time to make arrangements yet."
Has the group been busy lately?
Xie Junyang looked at the person in front of him with suspicion, his tone full of admonition.
"Xie Huanyu, I'm warning you, there are priorities. Investing is the most important thing, so don't just act recklessly according to your own whims!"
"As far as I know, the company is not very busy during this period, so we will focus on getting this matter done first. If we can successfully obtain the investment, it will be a great help to our company."
If Xu Yanshu and Qin Shengyi really have a secret relationship, it might help the company secure AC's funding more smoothly. Even if they eventually divorce, it wouldn't be too much of a loss.
He could figure out the math, Xie Junyang thought to himself.
Xie Huanyu nodded in agreement, but she wasn't very confident about it.
After all, things have already turned out this way today... but right now she doesn't dare mention it to her father at all.
"As for Xu Yanshu, you have no chance of outmaneuvering him now, so try to avoid him as much as possible, lest he take advantage of your inattention to set a trap for you."
Xie Huanyu frowned in disapproval, thinking to herself that today's incident was just an accident.
According to this logic, wouldn't she have to bow down to Xu Yanshu in every way from now on?
