Xu Yanshu soon learned that Lu Huai and his son had been kicked out by Xie Huanyu. He raised his eyebrows with interest, thinking to himself, how could this not be considered a boomerang of fate?
Lu Huai had done the same thing before, which led to him being kicked out of his place by the landlord in a sorry state. Now, this can be seen as Xie Huanyu avenging him!
The phone in front of her suddenly lit up. Xu Yanshu snapped out of her reverie and unlocked it to find that it was a WeChat message from Jiang Zhengyu.
[Sold successfully for 21 million!]
Xu Yanshu smiled with satisfaction, a sly glint in his eyes. He guessed that Lu Huai would never have imagined that it was he who had asked someone to buy the Lu Mansion from him.
Properties that are in a hurry to sell are inevitably subject to price reductions, and the Lu family's reputation in the industry is already extremely bad, so naturally they won't get a good price.
After acquiring it, he entrusted Zhengyu to list it on the stock exchange. Unexpectedly, it sold smoothly so quickly, and he made a profit of six million yuan in one go.
It's said that nothing stays hidden forever. Xu Yanshu raised an eyebrow with interest, wondering how the father and son would react after they found out about this.
Buzzing...
Suddenly, a phone call came in. Seeing Xie Huanyu's name in his contact list, Xu Yanshu frowned in confusion, but ultimately swiped to answer.
"I'll be waiting for you in the tea room downstairs. Let's have a good chat!"
He was about to speak when the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Xu Yanshu frowned in disgust. This woman always acted domineeringly!
Unsure of what the other person wanted to say, he hesitated for a moment before finally going downstairs.
Xie Huanyu got straight to the point, her tone quite confident.
“I know that I got too close to Lu Huai before, and I can apologize for that, but we really didn’t do anything out of line. I can guarantee that with my integrity.”
Does Xie Huanyu still have any integrity left to speak of?
Xu Yanshu remained noncommittal, but a hint of mockery suddenly appeared in his gaze as he looked at the woman.
He practically caught her and Lu Huai in bed together, and now he wants me to believe nothing happened between them? Does he really think I'm a fool?!
"That child is yours,"
Seeing that the man didn't react for a long time, Xie Huanyu couldn't hold back any longer. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then took out a receipt from her bag and handed it to him.
"This is the examination report from back then. I had to have an abortion because the child had developmental problems. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to upset you."
After being questioned about her chastity, she had to take the initiative to explain herself to him. At this moment, Xie Huanyu felt extremely humiliated, and even the expression on her face became somewhat stiff.
She guessed that Xu Yanshu's determination to divorce her was probably closely related to that surgical consent form.
Is that so?
Xu Yanshu's eyes flickered slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the form. The conclusion given on it was that the embryo was not developing properly.
So that's what happened...
He felt a sense of relief, but the emotions in his eyes became increasingly complex.
Although he made up his mind to get a divorce because of this incident, the problems between him and Xie Huanyu went far beyond that, especially now that things have escalated to this point.
Xu Yanshu looked up calmly at Xie Huanyu.
Do you have feelings for me?
"Ah...maybe!" Xie Huanyu was caught off guard by this and hesitated for a moment before managing to answer.
Yes, right?
Xu Yanshu raised his lips in self-deprecation. Although he knew the answer already, Xie Huanyu's reaction was still quite ironic.
She had been single-mindedly chasing after Lu Huai, so how could she possibly have any feelings for him?
The fact that she took the initiative to talk to me today was probably because of Xie Junyang's idea.
Judging from He Wen's experience, Xie Junyang probably wanted Xie Huanyu to stall him in this way first, and then secretly find an opportunity to deal with him.
Xie Huanyu belatedly realized that her reaction was somewhat inappropriate, and her expression inevitably turned awkward.
“Xu Yanshu, you…”
"Forget it!" Xu Yanshu interrupted, his expression unusually calm. "I know you don't really want to continue this relationship with me, so there's no need for us to force each other."
The old fox was unwilling to budge because he wanted to use him. He really couldn't understand why Xie Huanyu also refused to divorce him, even though she had never cared about him.
Thinking that Xu Yanshu had guessed a possibility, he spoke up to himself.
"If you feel ashamed, you can tell others that you filed for divorce."
Others might not, but Xie Huanyu might really be unwilling to divorce because she's afraid of losing face.
Even after I've already conceded so much, he still won't budge?
Xie Huanyu unconsciously clenched her hand hidden in the shadows, instinctively wanting to refute something.
Meeting the man's calm gaze, she was momentarily at a loss for words, which left her feeling somewhat uneasy.
After a moment of silence, she composed herself before tentatively speaking.
"We can start over, as long as you still have feelings for me..."
Xu Yanshu interrupted without hesitation, saying, "There aren't any left! Xie Huanyu, no one can give endlessly forever."
"Just like you once said, we are not a good match and are not suitable to be together at all."
For five years, he had been single-mindedly devoted to his work, trying to win Xie Huanyu over with his actions.
But in reality, she repeatedly showed herself how much she cared about another man, even humiliating herself time and time again for his sake.
Even though she knew that her grandmother's death was related to Lu Huai, she still chose to cover it up, something he could never forgive in his life.
Since deciding to divorce, his attitude has been very clear. It's unclear why Xie Huanyu would still blindly believe that she has feelings for him under these circumstances.
Is that really all...?
Xie Huanyu felt a pang of loss and unexpectedly recalled Xu Yanshu's previous meticulous care for her, which made her heart ache even more.
She had to admit that this man was really good to her, even more so than her father.
But all she remembered was that this marriage wasn't something she wanted, so she kept him at arm's length...
"I still have documents to process, so I'll go upstairs first!" Having said that, Xu Yanshu immediately got up and left.
Watching the man's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Xie Huanyu was momentarily lost in thought, her eyes showing signs of warming up.
She vaguely realized that she had completely lost something precious.
Since Xu Yanshu had already made his point, continuing to insist seemed pointless...
