next day
Determined to have a proper talk with Xu Yanshu, Xie Huanyu deliberately slowed down her movements, waiting until the man finished tidying up before the couple left one after the other.
As Xie Huanyu took the elevator to the underground parking garage, she was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of Lu Huai standing not far away.
How did he end up here?
Lu Huai stepped forward carrying a large bouquet of yellow roses. "Yu Bao, I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday!"
"I reflected on myself all night yesterday, and I realized that I was too dependent on you. Don't worry, I will definitely make a difference through my own efforts."
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Some things are better left unsaid; only a fool would pass up an easy shortcut.
If they focus on winning this woman over now, she'll definitely take care of everything for them, and they probably won't have to worry about her much afterward.
Xie Huanyu subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Yanshu, then hesitantly reached out to take the flowers, remaining silent for a long time.
Although her emotions last night weren't entirely directed at Uncle Lu and Ah Huai, the thought that Uncle Lu had deliberately feigned illness to force her to bail him out made her feel uneasy.
Previously, out of respect for Ah Huai, she had taken special care of the Lu family and genuinely treated Uncle Lu as an elder. Unexpectedly, this made the other party feel that they could morally blackmail her.
It's great to see such a wonderful show before going to work!
Xu Yanshu subtly curled his lips, then suddenly noticed something and said listlessly, "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with your neck? Is it an allergic reaction?"
neck……
Lu Huai immediately realized that it might be a hickey left accidentally last night. He subconsciously tried to cover it with his hand, but when he realized that this action was inappropriate, he noticed that Xie Huanyu's face had darkened.
As men and women, Xie Huanyu naturally knew the difference between an allergy and a hickey. She gave a dismissive sneer. So, his way of reflecting was to sleep with other people?
Having reached his goal, Xu Yanshu had no intention of lingering any longer and turned to drive his car out of the underground parking garage.
"Huanyu, let me explain..."
"That's enough!" Xie Huanyu interrupted coldly, her pretty face full of sternness. "We're just ordinary friends. You don't need to explain your private life to me."
"But please don't take me for a fool. Helping is a favor, not helping is my right. You and Uncle Lu don't need to put on a pitiful act in front of me. My patience has its limits!"
After saying that, Xie Huanyu walked straight to her car, drove off in her red Porsche.
Previously, she always thought that her father was prejudiced against Ah Huai, which was why he targeted the Lu family in every way. But judging from the recent events, her father's conclusion might actually be correct...
Xie Huanyu unconsciously gripped the steering wheel, feeling a mix of emotions, and her eyes gradually darkened.
Knowing full well that she shouldn't get involved, she solemnly assured Xu Yanshu that she would not deliberately favor Lu Huai.
In the end, he disregarded everything and rescued the person because of Lu Guangxiong's staged self-inflicted injury. Xu Yanshu must have been utterly disappointed in him.
Upon arriving at the company, Xie Huanyu decided to have a serious talk with Xu Yanshu, but to her surprise, she found no one there. Puzzled, she eventually found Xu Yanshu's assistant to ask for help.
"Mr. Xu had a business dinner scheduled for this morning, so he didn't come to the company."
...
At this moment, Xu Yanshu was in a secluded coffee shop, opposite a middle-aged man wearing a mask.
"Everything you asked for is here, but be careful, that old fox is not easy to deal with!"
Xu Yanshu picked up the folder and carefully looked through it. After confirming the contents, he smiled with satisfaction.
He had only intended to give it a try, but unexpectedly, he actually made a profit. Combined with what he had in hand, it was enough to make Xie Junyang "go back to square one".
Setting the file aside, Xu Yanshu looked up at the person opposite him, staring at the large burn marks on their profile. He tentatively began to speak.
"Your injury?"
This person is said to have been Xie Junyang's assistant during the early stages of his business. He was highly valued because of his talent, and the Xie Group's success today is largely due to his contributions.
However, there is no such thing as absolute cleanliness in the business world. After making their first fortune, Xie's company experienced a leak of confidential information, and Xie Junyang immediately suspected his assistant.
Not only was he dismissed, but to prevent He Wen from working for others again, Xie Junyang also crippled He Wen's right hand.
He Wen nodded, gritting his teeth, and said, "He did it!"
Not content with crippling his right hand, Xie Junyang attempted to create an accidental fire to kill himself. He narrowly escaped, but his wife and daughter succumbed to smoke inhalation...
To avoid Xie Junyang's repeated attempts to kill him, he had to live in anonymity all these years, living like a rat in a ditch.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu sighed deeply, a profound sense of dread in his eyes. "When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked," Xie Junyang's methods and style were far more ruthless than he had imagined.
If he is not careful, he could very well become the next Ho Man.
“I consulted a doctor before coming here, and your hand can be completely healed. If you are willing, I can arrange for you to go abroad immediately.”
Upon hearing this, He Wen's eyes suddenly brightened, then he hesitated, "Didn't you already give me payment? Why..."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Just consider this my doing a good deed for the day," Xu Yanshu replied casually.
It's one thing to empathize with He Wen's plight, but someone who can make Xie Junyang so wary must be quite capable. Even if they can't become friends, it would be good to have him owe a favor.
He Wen glanced gratefully at Xu Yanshu, thinking that since he had nothing to lose, he had nothing to be afraid of now.
If this young man can really bring down that old fox Xie Junyang, I am willing to lend him a hand when needed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Xu! If you ever need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Xu Yanshu readily agreed. To avoid drawing too much attention, he didn't linger. He gave a few instructions on the details of going abroad for treatment and then got up and left the coffee shop.
He had barely sat in the driver's seat when his phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, Mr. Xu, we've made progress on the matter you asked us to handle. Would it be convenient for you to come over right away?"
A glint of light flashed in Xu Yanshu's eyes, and he agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
