Chapter Twelve: Tips for Hard Work



The next day, Xu Yanshu went to work as usual, but saw Xie Huanyu and Lu Huai at the gate.

"Huanyu, your words really worked! My dad really hasn't mentioned blind dates again!"

Noticing the man not far away out of the corner of her eye, Xie Huanyu became somewhat absent-minded. After nodding perfunctorily, she said, "Is that so? That's good."

Having no intention of getting involved, Xu Yanshu planned to enter through another side door, but unexpectedly, Lu Huai called out to him the next second.

"Mr. Xu, wait a minute!" Lu Huai rushed forward, pulling a red envelope from his pocket as he spoke. "Thank you for taking me home yesterday."

"There's two hundred and fifty yuan in here. My dad specifically told me to give it to you as a reward for your hard work!"

They really think they're using him as cheap labor?!

Xu Yanshu glanced coldly at the red envelope, not intending to accept it, thinking to himself that this person was really trying to make trouble for him!

A tip for your hard work?

Xie Huanyu followed and stepped forward, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable upon hearing the words.

She was about to say something when she noticed Xu Yanshu's indifferent expression, so she swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

It's one thing for him to bring up divorce out of the blue, but he didn't even call me once last night when I didn't go home.

He had clearly seen me just now, but he didn't even bother to say hello.

Xu Yanshu spoke calmly, "Since Young Master Lu is well aware of this, then there's no need to trouble others next time."

"I won't accept the red envelope; this amount is more suitable for you!"

After saying that, Xu Yanshu didn't give the other party a chance to continue entangled and turned to enter the company.

How dare they speak ill of him!

Lu Huai gritted his teeth inwardly, veins bulging on his forehead, his gloomy face darker than the bottom of a pot.

Remembering that Xie Huanyu was still beside him, he immediately suppressed his anger and turned to look at the woman with a wronged expression.

"Huanyu, I..."

"Ah Huai, I have to rush up to a meeting, see you later!" Before the other person could finish speaking, Xie Huanyu waved her hand and strode away in her high heels.

Watching the woman's departing figure, Lu Huai's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

Last time, she kicked him out of the apartment in the middle of the night, and now she just watched Xu Yanshu embarrass her without doing anything and just walked away. This woman really doesn't respect me anymore!

A flash of resentment crossed his eyes. He was tired of playing with her, but he would never allow Xie Huanyu to turn around and fawn over someone else...

In the manager's office, Xu Yanshu had just received the revised divorce agreement from the lawyer when he received an internal call from Xie Huanyu, asking him to come over.

It's better to be sooner rather than later. Xu Yanshu had already reached the door, but at the last moment, he turned back, operated the printer, and printed out the divorce agreement.

Thump thump thump—

"Come in!"

Upon hearing the response, Xu Yanshu pushed open the door and entered the president's office.

"Mr. Xie, you wanted to see me!" Xu Yanshu stepped forward, greeted him, and placed the documents in his hand on the desk. "Please take a look at these. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can adjust it!"

Xie Huanyu nodded, leaned over to reach for it, but noticed the words 'Divorce Agreement' on the cover first, and almost lost her composure.

Is this man never going to stop?

Instead, Xie Huanyu rested her chin on her hand and said to herself, "I've invited Xiaoxiao and a few others. You'll be coming with me."

Xu Yanshu was a little confused. Xie Huanyu had always been unwilling to let him get involved in her social activities, so why was she taking the initiative to invite him today?

"I……"

"You'll definitely say yes, after all, we're going to visit Grandma together this Saturday!"

The implication was that if Xu Yanshu dared to refuse today, she would also break her promise on Saturday.

Xu Yanshu frowned, surprised that the other party would use this to threaten him. Remembering that the old lady had asked about Xie Huanyu several times before, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Okay, I understand."

My father died in a car accident. After experiencing the grief of losing her son, my grandmother became mentally unstable and has been living in a nursing home ever since.

As people get older, their health begins to decline, and they have less and less time to be lucid.

The only thing she remembered was that her son died saving Xie Huanyu, so the grandmother would often talk about Xie Huanyu, even putting her own grandson Xu Yanshu behind her.

Before leaving, Xu Yanshu added a special reminder, "Remember to read the documents!"

"Okay, I'll watch it when I have time!"

Xie Huanyu verbally agreed, but as soon as the man left, she threw the divorce agreement into the shredder beside her, her eyes turning icy cold in an instant.

He can just get a divorce whenever he wants? No way!

...

When Xie Huanyu and Xu Yanshu arrived, Shen Xiaoxiao and the other women were chatting enthusiastically.

Shen Xiaoxiao enthusiastically pulled Xie Huanyu to her side, but noticing Xu Yanshu standing to the side, she immediately pouted unhappily.

Why did you bring him along?

Xie Huanyu said casually, "It was just on the way!"

Xu Yanshu seemed oblivious to this and was about to find a seat when Shen Xiaoxiao called out to him.

The woman waved her hand, "Don't sit down yet, pour us some drinks first!"

Xu Yanshu glanced at Xie Huanyu subconsciously, and seeing that the other party remained silent, he instantly understood.

He took off his suit jacket and put it aside, then turned around, picked up the wine bottle, and began pouring wine for everyone.

The women present looked at Xu Yanshu with amusement, while Shen Xiaoxiao casually toyed with her wine glass.
