Shen Yanxi understood He Lingchuan's implied meaning and wanted to explain, "I really..."
"You don't need to explain to me. Since you're not going to tell the truth, then pretend I was never here."
He Lingchuan turned and left without waiting for Shen Yanxi's explanation.
The moment He Lingchuan pushed open the door, he almost bumped into Zhou Mingyan, who was walking towards him.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Mingyan's expression immediately darkened: "What are you doing here?"
He Lingchuan snorted coldly: "What's it to you?"
Judging from Zhou Mingyan's appearance, he should have officially joined Shen's Group.
He Lingchuan looked him up and down, then deliberately asked, "What, you're not planning to go back? Planning to stay here and become a live-in son-in-law?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I was just helping Xixi manage the company. After you left, Xixi had to take care of the child and run the company all by herself. How was she supposed to manage on her own?"
Zhou Mingyan's gaze fell on Shen Yanxi, his eyes filled with heartache.
Hearing his words, Shen Yanxi finally calmed down a little.
She walked to Zhou Mingyan's side and looked at him gently: "Mingyan, has everything been resolved?"
"It's resolved. As long as certain people stop causing trouble, Zhang Ying won't bother him."
As Zhou Mingyan spoke, he kept staring at He Lingchuan, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
He Lingchuan subconsciously looked at Shen Yanxi: "What did you do?"
Just as Shen Yanxi was about to speak, Zhou Mingyan said, "You still have the nerve to ask? For your sake, Xixi took the initiative to find Zhang Ying and gave up 30% of the profits, just to get Zhang Ying to let you go."
Zhou Mingyan grew angrier as he spoke, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at him: "He Lingchuan, you caused trouble and then just walked away. Do you know that Zhang Ying vented all his anger on Xixi? If you weren't Xixi's ex-husband, how could he have bothered her?"
Zhou Mingyan unleashed all the anger she had been holding back these past few days. She grabbed He Lingchuan's collar with both hands and glared at him fiercely: "Xixi worked day and night for this cooperation. Do you know that she was exhausted? And because of you, she has to give up 30% of the profits."
If they had known this would happen, they would have been better off investing in other projects.
Shen Yanxi frowned and whispered to stop Zhou Mingyan: "Alright, stop talking."
“Why don’t you say anything? This man still thinks you’ve wronged him. Xixi, even if you’re the one at fault in this marriage, you’ve done everything right for him. Don’t feel guilty.”
Zhou Mingyan walked up to Shen Yanxi, somewhat pressuring her: "Xixi, you don't need to compensate him. If you want a divorce, then get a divorce. You don't need to protect him anymore."
Upon hearing this, He Lingchuan's face instantly darkened.
The thought that he and Shen Yanxi were still husband and wife made him somewhat annoyed.
Since Zhou Mingyan brought it up, he didn't mind going to the Civil Affairs Bureau again: "Shen Yanxi, I think Zhou Mingyan is right. You don't need to feel guilty towards me. It's better for us to get a divorce as soon as possible. It would be too ugly if we ended up in court two years later because of separation."
He Lingchuan hoped to take this opportunity to completely divorce Shen Yanxi.
He had made up his mind that even if Shen Yanxi disagreed, he would file for divorce in two years.
Upon hearing his words, Shen Yanxi's face instantly darkened. She looked at Zhou Mingyan with displeasure and scolded him in a low voice, "Mingyan, this is between me and Lingchuan. You don't need to worry about it."
As she spoke, Shen Yanxi nudged He Lingchuan's shoulder, signaling him to leave first: "My business with Zhang Ying has nothing to do with you. Whether you accept my help or not, Zhang Ying has already promised me he won't cause you any more trouble, so..."
"So, besides the 30% profit you're giving up, I also have to sell the copyright to him, right?"
He Lingchuan finally understood why Shen Yanxi had advised him to give up the project. It turned out that she had already reached an agreement with Zhang Ying before he arrived.
He Lingchuan couldn't understand why she would rather give up 30% of the profits to help Zhang Ying.
He tilted his head, increasingly puzzled: "Shen Yanxi, how could someone as smart as you give up such a huge profit?"
He Lingchuan felt something was amiss, and he boldly guessed, "How much did Zhang Ying give you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Yanxi couldn't help but shout out, her eyes filled with displeasure as she looked at He Lingchuan: "You are my husband, how could I possibly frame you for a little profit?"
You could tell from Shen Yanxi's voice that she was really angry.
He Lingchuan still tilted his head, looking at Shen Yanxi with a puzzled expression.
He didn't believe Shen Yanxi would help him, and he didn't believe she would give up her own interests.
He shrugged nonchalantly. Since Shen Yanxi had no intention of speaking, he didn't plan to press her for an answer: "Shen Yanxi, don't think that I'll be grateful to you if you give up 30% of the profits. Let me tell you the truth, even if you choose to breach the contract and pay Zhang Ying the penalty, I will never forgive you for what you did to me before, and there will be no improvement in our relationship."
After saying his last words, He Lingchuan turned and left.
Before leaving, he reminded Shen Yanxi not to pick up the children: "I will take them to my place to stay today."
They had agreed beforehand that each person would watch the show for one day, and today it was their turn.
Hearing his words, Shen Yanxi anxiously chased after him: "You have so many things to do over there, can you take good care of the child?"
"When I didn't have a job, there wasn't even a servant in my house, but I still managed to take good care of my children."
He Lingchuan turned around and glared angrily at Shen Yanxi, his eyes filled with disdain: "The one who really can't take care of the child is you, so you don't need to worry about me."
He Lingchuan didn't give Shen Yanxi a chance to follow. He hailed a car and went to the kindergarten. He had promised the two children that he would take them out for a stroll, and he absolutely couldn't break his promise.
After He Lingchuan left, Shen Yanxi's face immediately darkened.
She slammed her hand on the table, her face turning pale: "You really don't know what's good for you."
She did so much for He Lingchuan, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
Shen Yanxi was so angry that her face and chest heaved, and her gaze toward Zhou Mingyan became extremely sharp.
She stared at Zhou Mingyan for a long time before speaking: "Why did you tell He Lingchuan about my conversation with Zhang Ying? Don't you know he doesn't trust me anymore?"
Before gaining He Lingchuan's trust, Shen Yanxi did not intend to let He Lingchuan know everything she had done.
Zhou Mingyan paused, looking at her with some grievance: "I feel sorry for you. You've done so much for him, why should he give you so much?"
Zhou Mingyan gripped Shen Yanxi's shoulders tightly, his eyes red-rimmed: "Xixi, I've wronged you before, and now, I don't want you to suffer any injustice."
