Xu Yanshu had just arrived home when Xie Huanyu followed him back to his apartment. There was a moment of awkwardness as their eyes met.
"Um... Dad wants us to go home for dinner this weekend!"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yanshu nodded in agreement. He had already avoided it several times before, and it was not appropriate to refuse again now.
His gaze darkened imperceptibly. He weighed the contents in his hand; they were about enough. Once Lu Huai finished dealing with things, he would formally propose a divorce to Xie Huanyu.
Xie Huanyu nodded gently, secretly relieved.
I don't want to force them, but if they don't return to the Xie family, my father will inevitably get angry.
Ever since their conversation in the office, the atmosphere between her and Xu Yanshu had become even more awkward. Feeling guilty, she began to unconsciously avoid Xu Yanshu.
Just as Xie Huanyu was about to turn and go into the room, Xu Yanshu spoke up in time.
"Lu Huai came to see me today."
Xie Huanyu paused slightly, somewhat taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What does he want with you?"
Previously, I hadn't noticed, but now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Lu Huai often bypasses me to find Xu Yanshu, which may be why Xu Yanshu has always misunderstood their relationship.
Xu Yanshu was intentionally testing Xie Huanyu's reaction, and upon hearing this, he subtly raised an eyebrow.
In the past, she would have immediately questioned herself about what nonsense she had spouted in front of Lu Huai. Compared to that, her reaction was truly rare.
"It's nothing, he just asked when we're officially getting a divorce," Xu Yanshu said, making up a story.
What?
Xie Huanyu's eye twitched uncontrollably, and her face immediately darkened. This Lu Huai was really becoming more and more nonsensical.
Her relationship with Xu Yanshu is already strained, and for him to ask such a question is like adding fuel to the fire.
Thinking back to the message she had just received, Xie Huanyu's eyes showed a hint of resistance, and her brows furrowed slightly.
It wasn't enough that he contacted Xu Yanshu; he also arranged to meet with me. What exactly is Lu Huai up to?!
"I know about this. You don't need to pay much attention to him. He's just a lunatic!"
Catching the disgust and impatience in the woman's words, Xu Yanshu's gaze deepened imperceptibly. It seemed that a real rift had formed between the two.
Previously, Lu Huai had fabricated stories about this woman quite a bit, so this was a way of returning the favor.
Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand!"
So how did she answer Lu Huai?
Xie Huanyu suddenly thought of this question and subconsciously opened his mouth, but remembering his previous unhesitating answer, he didn't actually ask the question.
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back to my room!"
"OK!"
It's happening again...
Xie Huanyu felt a pang in her chest. He always tried to find topics to talk about with her before... Suppressing her thoughts, she turned and quickly walked into the master bedroom.
Regardless of what happened between her and Lu Huai, he would not change his decision to divorce.
Xu Yanshu naturally noticed Xie Huanyu's unusual behavior, but he didn't intend to take it to heart. After withdrawing his gaze, he turned and went into the study.
Without further ado, since the other party has taken the initiative to seek attention, he should also speed up his pace.
...
The next day, Xie Huanyu and Xu Yanshu entered the company one after the other and bumped into Xie Junyang.
"Dad, what brings you here today?"
Xie Junyang looked at his daughter with doting eyes, "Why can't I come over? What if you bully Yan Shu behind my back again?"
Xie Huanyu laughed awkwardly twice. In the past, when his father said this, he was always indignant that the other party valued Xu Yanshu more than his own daughter.
But now that he knows he was just using Xu Yanshu as a pawn, his words take on a completely different meaning.
So Xu Yanshu noticed? Xie Huanyu unconsciously looked at the man next to her.
Xu Yanshu nodded and greeted Xie Junyang as usual. He knew that Xie Junyang wouldn't come to the temple without a reason, and he secretly wondered what Xie Junyang's purpose might be this time.
Xie Junyang waved his hand, "You go ahead and get busy, I need to talk to Yan Shu alone!"
Alone again...
Xie Huanyu frowned slightly, but didn't say much. She nodded and turned to walk into the office.
"If you want to teach Lu Huai a lesson, then go ahead and do it. Dad will support you in everything!" Xie Junyang leaned closer to Xu Yanshu and whispered.
Suppressing him might actually make Xu Yanshu rebellious. It's better to give him a taste of sweetness now and then. After all, he can't possibly leave your grasp.
Xu Yanshu was surprised by the other party's statement, but after a little thought, he understood the key point.
Xie Junyang was always very perceptive, and he probably already knew that the Lu family father and son had used a self-inflicted injury to deceive Xie Huanyu, which is why he had the idea of dealing with them.
At the same time, she knew very well that she could not let Lu Huai off so easily, so she thought of letting him make the first move, and then naturally doing him a favor.
"Thank you, Dad! I understand!"
Xie Junyang reached out and patted Xu Yanshu's shoulder heavily, saying in a sincere tone, "No need to be so polite. Remember, no matter what happens, the Xie family is always behind you!"
The implication of this statement is that everything he has now is thanks to the Xie family.
Xu Yanshu glanced at the person in front of him with feigned gratitude, but inwardly he was very disdainful. Did he really think that the person was so afraid of the Xie family?
Little did he know that he now possessed something that could kill him, and Xu Yanshu's eyes darkened involuntarily as he thought about it.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work!"
Xie Junyang nodded in response, but as Xu Yanshu turned around, he seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke casually.
"Yan Shu, with the end of the year approaching, you should focus on company matters and not waste time on unnecessary things."
Unnecessary things?
Xu Yanshu was initially confused, but after sitting down at his desk, he vaguely understood that Xie Junyang had probably noticed his frequent outings and guessed what he might do, so he casually mentioned it.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this and guessed that Xie Junyang might secretly send someone to monitor him, so he was extra careful when he went to do his business.
Xie Junyang only sees himself going out frequently, and for the time being, he can't figure out exactly what he's doing.
Xu Yanshu curled his lips into a playful smile. Let him wait and see; he'll teach him a lesson soon enough.
