Due to severe mobility issues, Xu Yanshu had to start working from home, while Xie Huanyu continued to leave early and return late.
Although they see each other every day, the two of them unexpectedly fell into a state of cold war.
Xu Yanshu was actually more than happy about this; in his opinion, it was best if Xie Huanyu didn't cause him any trouble.
While busy handling company affairs, he also contacted a private investigator to help him gather evidence of Xie Huanyu's infidelity.
"I've sent your email with information on the two individuals and the places they frequent. I hope to get feedback as soon as possible. The payment isn't a refund; you just need to keep me updated on any progress you make."
He wanted to part amicably, but Xie Huanyu was unwilling to agree to a divorce, and he didn't want to keep dragging things out with her like this.
drop--
Hearing the door lock open, before the person on the other end could finish speaking, Xu Yanshu instinctively hung up the phone.
The next second, Xie Huanyu opened the door and walked in from outside, looking visibly light and agile.
"I visited my grandmother at the nursing home today. The doctor said her condition is much better than a few days ago. I plan to have someone help me contact relevant experts in a few days."
Xu Yanshu was stunned. He really didn't expect Xie Huanyu to take the initiative to visit his grandmother. His eyes showed a moment of complexity.
He then looked up at Xie Huanyu gratefully and said in a firm voice, "Thank you!"
One thing at a time, he was genuinely grateful that the other person had gone to see his grandmother.
"Grandma asked about you, and I told her you went on a business trip out of town. Don't let it slip later."
Xu Yanshu nodded gently, "I understand!"
So he can still speak properly after all.
Xie Huanyu secretly grumbled to herself, but couldn't help but smile, raising her eyebrows slightly before turning and heading to the dressing room.
He actually wanted to spend as much time as possible with his grandmother, but he just couldn't figure out how to tell her that he wanted a divorce...
Xu Yanshu was slightly lost in thought when a WeChat message suddenly popped up on the computer in front of her—
[Xiao Zhou: Mr. Xu, I've been transferred to the Human Resources Department.]
Human Resources Department?
Xu Yanshu frowned slightly, his eyes inadvertently deepening.
Xiao Zhou has been a diligent and responsible assistant since taking the job, and has never made a single mistake in her work. So why was she suddenly transferred to the human resources department?
He couldn't help but recall Xie Huanyu's rather negative comments about Xiao Zhou a few days ago...
Xie Huanyu changed into her pajamas, turned around and came out. She sat down on the soft couch next to the man in the living room. The moment she looked up, she noticed the conversation page on the laptop screen.
Looking at Xu Yanshu, who was standing there dumbfounded, she felt a little annoyed. Was an assistant really worth making such a fuss about?
Moreover, this guy surnamed Zhou seems to have absolutely no sense of boundaries.
A dark glint flashed across her eyes as she spoke to herself, "I don't think Xiao Zhou is very capable, so I'm planning to get you a different assistant."
"I think she's quite capable. A new assistant would require time to get used to, so..."
Xie Huanyu interrupted her impatiently, saying, "She already reported to the HR department today. Do you expect me to bring her back again?"
She was holding back from talking to me a few days ago, but now she's going to argue with her over a mere assistant?
Seeing that the other party had already gone this far, Xu Yanshu could no longer insist and could only quietly shut up.
He didn't really care which assistant he used, but he felt it wasn't fair to Xiao Zhou...
Xu Yanshu vaguely guessed that Xie Huanyu's actions were related to the day he had asked Xiao Zhou to pick him up from the police station. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. When the city gate catches fire, the fish in the moat suffer as well. In the end, he was the one who implicated the other party.
I called Xiao Zhou at the time because she was one of the few people who respected me and whom I could trust.
In other people's eyes, Xu Yanshu was just a son-in-law of the Xie family. No matter how outstanding his achievements were, he would always just be Xie Huanyu's lapdog.
Those people were polite to him on the surface, but in reality they were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Xie Huanyu's expression softened slightly. If Xu Yanshu continued to insist, she would really start to suspect that there was something between the two of them.
To prevent any potential problems, she couldn't really let the person stay in the HR department indefinitely, and planned to find a reason to fire them after a while.
Coming to her senses, Xie Huanyu brought up another matter.
“An Hongsheng has already signed a contract with the Lu family. I’m inviting them to dinner tomorrow, and you can come with me.”
Xu Yanshu felt a strong urge to go and refused without hesitation, "I'm not going!"
It's her freedom to decide how to help the Lu family, and I will absolutely not follow her to fawn over others.
"Xu Yanshu, can't you have a little bit of class?"
Xie Huanyu immediately grabbed a cushion and threw it at Xu Yanshu, saying indignantly, "Ah Huai isn't even going to hold it against you, so why are you still sulking here?"
He had dealt with An Hongsheng quite a bit, so he must know what kind of person An Hongsheng was. How could he be so sure that he would let An Hongsheng handle the situation alone?
Xu Yanshu looked up at Xie Huanyu and asked directly,
"Don't you want to know why I fought with Lu Huai that day?"
Xie Huanyu shrugged dismissively, "You're just petty. You're holding a grudge against Ah Huai just because he invited me to a bar the day before!"
Although she felt it wasn't worth fighting over such a small matter, Xu Yanshu was acting impulsively because he cared about her, so she didn't intend to hold him accountable.
But let's keep things separate. Right now, she's asking Xu Yanshu to go with her to socialize with business partners. In nature, it's business, and it has no direct connection to A-Huai.
hehe!
Seeing Xie Huanyu's knowing expression, Xu Yanshu swallowed back the words that were about to come out, knowing that no matter how he explained it, she wouldn't believe him.
So, are you coming with me or not?
"I'm not going!"
Lu Huai clearly didn't respect him. If he were to do something for him under such circumstances, it would be too undignified...
Or perhaps in Xie Huanyu's eyes he was a person without dignity, which is why she made such an arrangement as a matter of course.
Fine, I won't go!
Xie Huanyu suddenly stood up, glared fiercely at the person, then turned and went back to the master bedroom, slamming the door shut with a deafening sound.
Having long been accustomed to such a fiery temper, Xu Yanshu looked up at the ceiling and couldn't help but sigh after a moment.
Perhaps he and Xie Huanyu are truly incompatible, which is why they always argue so easily...
Now I just hope the private investigator can gather enough evidence for me as soon as possible, so that he can rightfully end all of this.
