"So, you were in such a hurry to divorce me before because you wanted to elope with Xiao Zhou?!"
“I’ve already said, Xiao Zhou and I only have a purely professional relationship,” Xu Yanshu said, finally unable to bear it any longer. He sat up in bed and looked at Xie Huanyu solemnly. “The card I gave her was just a small compensation for her demotion!”
He now deeply regrets not having compensated Xiao Zhou in a more prudent way; otherwise, the young girl wouldn't have suffered such humiliation for nothing.
Seeing the man's excited expression, Xie Huanyu became even more certain of something, and her red lips curled upwards with a hint of trepidation.
Lately, this man's attitude towards me has been excessively cold, except when it comes to Xiao Zhou, he always becomes exceptionally excited.
She simply couldn't believe that the two of them were innocent.
"Oh, I understand!" Xie Huanyu nodded as if she understood, then lay down on her side on the bed.
Something unusual must be going on.
Xu Yanshu was surprised that the topic ended so quickly. He felt inexplicably uneasy and wanted to explain something, but he was also afraid that he would make things worse by explaining.
Therefore, he also chose to remain silent.
...
The next day
The press conference was held in the backyard of Xie's residence, and many media outlets, both large and small, attended.
Having prepared their answers beforehand, Xie Huanyu and Xu Yanshu handled the situation with ease, until near the end when a young reporter stepped forward—
"Miss Xie, do you ever worry that Mr. Xu might be tempted by other women? After all, Mr. Xu is handsome and young and promising."
Xie Huanyu nodded, then took Xu Yanshu's hand and said, "Absolutely not. My husband is a grateful person. He knows clearly that everything he has now is given to him by me. He will not and absolutely cannot betray me."
"Honey, you're right, aren't you?"
Xu Yanshu glanced at Xie Huanyu in surprise; she could have easily refused to answer such a question.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only nod in agreement.
"Of course, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. No matter how good our relationship is, we cannot avoid the possibility of some unscrupulous people trying to interfere."
"But please rest assured, my friends, I have always been someone who cannot tolerate any wrongdoing, and I will definitely handle this situation well."
In other words, there really is a third person involved in this couple's relationship?!
Everyone present was shrewd and astute, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.
Xu Yanshu's expression darkened slightly, and he even wanted to immediately shake off the woman's hand.
The press conference was originally intended to clarify and refute rumors. He didn't understand why Xie Huanyu would say such a thing in public, nor was he sure what the consequences would be.
After the press conference officially ended and all the media had left, Xu Yanshu finally couldn't help but ask the question.
Why did you say that just now?
He had already cooperated with her to clarify the online public opinion, but he never expected her to say such ambiguous things in public. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become the target of cyberbullying by all netizens.
"This proves I really care about you, what's the problem?" Xie Huanyu retorted nonchalantly, putting the earring she had just taken off into the jewelry box in front of her. "Why are you so agitated?"
"Could it be that you really did something to wrong me?"
The woman's exquisite eyes flashed with coldness. Anyone who dared to seduce her right under her nose had to be prepared to face the consequences.
you……
Xu Yanshu was so angry that he was speechless. This woman was far more unreasonable than he had imagined. He was unwilling to say anything more and immediately turned around and stormed out.
Turning her head to glance outside, Xie Huanyu then picked up the phone that was placed beside her.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, help me..."
"What other trouble are you planning to cause?" Xie Junyang strolled in from outside.
Xie Huanyu instinctively hung up the phone, then stood up. Facing his father's intense gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Dad, I don't understand what you're saying."
Xie Junyang gave a noncommittal snort and scolded him irritably, "This press conference is to clarify the rumors online, why are you still saying those irrelevant things in front of the media?"
Fortunately, he had informed the media outlets present today in advance, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might have arisen.
"I……"
"I've already investigated. There's nothing between Xu Yanshu and that woman surnamed Zhou. This matter ends here, and you're not allowed to mention it again!"
There's nothing there?
Xie Huanyu was somewhat skeptical of this, and after pursing her lips, she muttered, "It's not me making a scene at all, it's Xu Yanshu who keeps bringing up divorce with me, and he even gave me attitude because of that little assistant."
"Nonsense! Even if Xu Yanshu had a hundred times the courage, he would never mention divorce to you!"
"Dad, would I need to lie to you about something like this?" Seeing that the other party didn't believe her at all, Xie Huanyu couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Besides, he brought it up several times, and his attitude towards me is much worse than before!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Junyang's expression immediately turned serious. He had resigned, but he hadn't expected that Xu Yanshu would actually start a divorce with Huan Yu.
So, does that mean Xu Yanshu is determined to sever ties with the Xie family?
"If that's the case, why don't you know how to tone it down a bit?"
“Even a clay figure has some temper. Xu Yanshu is still a man. No matter what, you’re always getting involved with that guy surnamed Lu. Anyone would find it unacceptable.”
But she and Ah Huai are just ordinary friends now...
Xie Huanyu secretly scoffed at this, full of disapproval, but faced with her father's cold gaze, she dared not say anything more.
Xu Yanshu was already marrying above his station with the Xie family, so why should she take the initiative to accommodate him? Besides, Xu Yanshu's attitude towards her is so terrible right now.
"That's enough. I think I've made myself clear enough. You'd better behave yourself."
"If you cause any more trouble, I will definitely not let you off easily this time!" After saying this, Xie Junyang turned and walked out.
So she can't do anything? Isn't that too easy on that bitch?
Xie Huanyu stomped her foot in frustration. She had originally wanted Xiaoxiao to help her leak some information about that woman online.
Once netizens notice, they will naturally identify with the person in question, and then the person surnamed Zhou will be condemned and criticized by all netizens.
But since her father had already said so much, she couldn't do that anymore.
After a moment of anger, Xie Huanyu suddenly calmed down. She realized that there were other ways to teach that bitch a lesson…
