Chapter Sixteen: Mr. Xie's Invitation



"If you agree to sign, I can leave with nothing."

"Leave with nothing?" Xie Huanyu paused for a moment, then asked without hesitation.

"You have other women outside?"

Xu Yanshu frowned in displeasure, then growled in a deep voice, "Xie Huanyu!!"

His grandmother was his only family in the world. If anything were to happen to her today, he would never forgive himself.

A leopard can't change its spots, and he couldn't be sure what other ways this woman might try to threaten him. He didn't want to live in constant fear.

Therefore, he was willing to get a divorce as soon as possible, even if it meant leaving with nothing.

Xie Huanyu hesitated, her aura instantly weakening, and she unconsciously clenched her hands at her sides.

Xu Yanshu was truly determined to divorce her.

This realization made Xie Huanyu feel flustered for no reason, and her expression became unnatural.

"I suddenly remembered I still have some documents to process, so I'll head back to the company first. Please tell Grandma for me." With that, Xie Huanyu turned and walked into the elevator going downstairs.

Xu Yanshu's gaze darkened, and he unconsciously pursed his lips, knowing full well that Xie Huanyu was deliberately avoiding him.

Based on her previous attitude, the possibility of an amicable divorce is extremely slim... It seems he needs to prepare for a lawsuit in advance.

Composing himself, Xu Yanshu turned and went back to his room, where the old lady had already woken up.

He rushed to the old woman's side, "Grandma, you..."

"Tell me, what's going on between you and Huanyu this time?"

...

On her first day back at work after the holiday, Xu Yanshu ran into Lu Huai at the company's front desk.

"Hey, isn't this our hero who stood up for justice? You're back so quickly, you're really dedicated!"

Xu Yanshu frowned uncomfortably at the sarcastic tone and, not intending to pay any attention to the other person, walked straight into the elevator.

Unexpectedly, Lu Huai turned around and followed him into the elevator.

"I've already said that forced relationships are never sweet. You almost risked your life, and did they even give you a second glance?"

This Xu guy is really going all out. If I hadn't reacted quickly, Xie Huanyu might have really gone to take care of her wholeheartedly.

He couldn't let Xu Yanshu have any chance to show off in front of him. After learning that Xu Yanshu was staying in the same hospital as him, he bribed a few nurses.

In fact, Xie Huanyu only visited him once, and that was only after he took the initiative to call her.

“You don’t need to make sarcastic remarks here,” Xu Yanshu finally spoke up, his tone as cold as ice. “I’ve already filed for divorce. You’d be better off advising Xie Huanyu to sign the divorce papers sooner rather than later.”

divorce?

Lu Huai was slightly surprised. He never expected that Xu Yanshu would take the initiative to propose a divorce.

Judging from these words, it seems that Xie Huanyu is dragging her feet on getting a divorce? A dark glint flashed in the man's deep eyes.

"I think you've misunderstood. Whether or not to get a divorce is a matter between the two of you. Personally, I think things are fine as they are now."

“If you two really get divorced, Huanyu will definitely force me to marry him,” Lu Huai said with a helpless shrug, “I’ve always been used to being free, and I’ve never thought about getting married!”

Why does he always try to get attention by jumping around in front of me?

Xu Yanshu turned to look at Lu Huai in disbelief, never expecting him to have such an attitude.

Lu Huai nodded solemnly, "How about this, as long as you don't divorce Huanyu, as long as I can do it, you can ask for anything..."

bite--

The elevator doors opened, and Xie Huanyu was about to walk in when she saw Xu Yanshu and Lu Huai standing together, which made her pause in surprise.

"Ah Huai, why are you up here again?"

“Oh, I happened to run into Mr. Xu downstairs and we chatted for a bit,” Lu Huai explained effortlessly, his arrogant demeanor instantly softening. “Are you going down? Let’s go together!”

Xie Huanyu nodded, stepped into the elevator, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, looked up at Xu Yanshu, who was about to walk away.

"I'm going downstairs to buy a coffee. I'll be right back."

Is this a case of hiding something in plain sight?

Not understanding why the other party would say such a thing, Xu Yanshu ignored it and went straight back to his manager's office.

He had barely sat down when Xiao Zhou came in to report on the company's recent situation.

Under the leadership of Xie Junyang and other directors, the bidding process for the new energy project proceeded smoothly, with Lu's Company being exceptionally granted the right to bid as well.

"According to Xiao Yang, President Xie seems to have a high opinion of the Lu Group and even revealed some confidential data to them."

Has Xie Huanyu gone mad?

Xu Yanshu's eyes twitched uncontrollably, and his expression darkened slightly.

If such underhanded dealings were to become known to the outside world, the group's reputation would certainly suffer a severe blow, and the project might even be unable to be successfully implemented.

Xu Yanshu tapped his long, slender fingers on the mahogany table, but quickly recovered, realizing that such a small gesture might not escape Chairman Xie's notice.

"Just pretend you don't know anything about this, and focus on doing your job well!"

"Okay, I understand!"

After reporting on some other matters, Xiao Zhou turned and left the office.

Recalling what Lu Huai had just said, Xu Yanshu chuckled noncommittally, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Xie Huanyu was so happy to have come, but she never expected that Lu Huai was such a scoundrel behind the scenes!

If we can gather evidence of the woman's infidelity or other behaviors that damage the marriage, our chances of winning will increase significantly!

Upon seeing the message from the lawyer, Xu Yanshu's eyes darkened.

Collecting evidence of infidelity is not difficult, since Xie Huanyu never intended to hide it.

He didn't want to go to such extremes unless absolutely necessary... and if things got too big, it might alarm his grandmother.

He didn't expect the old lady to be so perceptive, immediately noticing the strange thing between him and Xie Huanyu. After being lectured by his grandmother, he didn't dare to mention divorce at all.

Grandma's current physical condition absolutely cannot withstand any more shocks. If she finds out that she divorced Xie Huanyu without her own consent, then...

Thump thump thump—

There was a knock on the office door, and Xu Yanshu suddenly snapped out of her reverie.

"Manager Xu, Chairman Xie is in the large conference room upstairs. Please go back immediately."
