Chapter 15: Every word he uttered was about interests.
Shen Li had no idea what was wrong with Lu Yanchuan.
He was the one who told her to move out as soon as possible.
He probably still can't accept her proposing a divorce because of his pride, Shen Li thought.
After all, if she gave Shen Li a little more thought, she wouldn't think that this man would have any regrets.
Shen Li had just said, "I'll go too."
The next second, Lu Yanchuan dialed a number and said, "Come up."
Tang Yao came up shortly afterward.
Tang Yao is one of Lu Yanchuan's assistants, and compared to Zhou Yan's refined and modest demeanor...
Tang Yao is tall and strong; he's more like a bodyguard than an assistant.
"President Lu."
"Help her with her luggage and go back to the villa."
"Okay." Tang Yao looked at Shen Li, "Madam, where's the luggage?"
Shen Li hesitated for a moment, "There's nothing I need to bring, let's just go like this."
It's only a hundred days anyway.
Moreover, when she moved out, she only took her own belongings.
As for the things Lu Yanchuan had given her over the years, Shen Li didn't touch them.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at her, then instructed Tang Yao, "Have someone move her electric stove, hair dryer, and mud-playing tools to the villa."
Shen Li's eyes widened, and she didn't even bother to refute him, saying that it wasn't an electric stove or a hair dryer.
She quickly turned to Lu Yanchuan and said, "Isn't that enough?"
"The kitchen in the villa was originally designed with a three-phase circuit so that it could power your oven, so it should be able to power the fan in your oven as well."
"This isn't a stove blower..." Shen Li defended his tool.
Lu Yanchuan continued to instruct Tang Yao, "Find someone to convert the circuit here to three-phase power."
"Okay." Tang Yao nodded.
On the way to the villa, Shen Li sat in the car and wondered how things had turned out this way.
She should have been a young, wealthy, divorced woman by now.
Thinking of this, Shen Li glanced at the man beside her.
With just one glance, Lu Yanchuan noticed and met his gaze.
His dark eyes were as deep as the starry night, so captivating that one glance was enough to draw you in.
It is said that a person's good looks are partly due to their skin and partly due to their bone structure. People with beautiful bone structure are more attractive in the long run than those with beautiful skin.
Going a step further, that is about appearance and temperament.
Lu Yanchuan was the best among them, with good looks and an even better bone structure. His appearance, demeanor, and temperament were all perfect.
This allows her to exude charm in everything from large gestures to small facial expressions like raising an eyebrow and curling her lips.
Seeing this face can instantly calm any anger.
He glanced over at that moment and asked, "What?"
What on earth happened to you? Those words were practically on the tip of my tongue.
Shen Li pursed her lips and held back. Oh well, it's only three months. Looking at this face, it's not too painful.
"It's nothing." Shen Li turned her eyes away from him.
Having lived in the villa for five years, Shen Li still felt a sense of belonging when she arrived at the villa.
Walking into the yard, I saw that the plants were all a bit wilted.
Shen Li sighed softly, "Lu Yanchuan, remember to hire a gardener in the future and take care of the plants in the yard regularly."
Lu Yanchuan curled the corners of his lips. "You've managed it very well, haven't you?"
"You go in first." Shen Li couldn't bear to leave her flowers and plants alone, so she rolled up her sleeves and went into the yard.
When Lu Yanchuan reached the door, he stopped and glanced at Shen Li's slender figure in the courtyard.
She rolled up her sleeves, her long hair casually pinned up behind her head, and was watering the plants with a spray nozzle.
Lu Yanchuan's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before being drawn back by his constantly vibrating phone.
Lu Yanchuan glanced at the number on the screen, frowned, answered the phone, and went inside.
"Um, Mom, what's up..."
Even in the courtyard, Shen Li couldn't find peace and quiet; her phone started ringing loudly in her pocket.
Shen Li looked at her phone screen, sighed softly, and answered the call.
"Hello..." She had barely finished saying "Hello" and hadn't even had a chance to address him properly when she heard a rapid-fire barrage of voices from the other end.
"Shen Li, what exactly happened!" Shen Wenzhong's voice was practically flaring up on the other end. "What's going on with that trending topic? Is it a fake recording? Or is it real?"
"Dad," Shen Li said in a low voice, "it's true."
The marriage between Shen Li and Lu Yanchuan was arranged by their elders; it was a political alliance.
However, neither of their parents knew about the marriage agreement and the five-year term.
Shen Wenzhong's business is currently in a mess, and he also likes to gamble. His biggest source of confidence is that his daughter married well and his son-in-law is very capable.
When this trending topic came out today, Shen Wenzhong was so scared he almost lost his mind. He still managed to shamelessly contact his in-laws first.
Upon learning that the elders of the Lu family were also unaware of the marriage deadline, she calmed herself down and called Shen Li.
"Are you crazy?! How could you make such an agreement?! Do you know that the Shen family's business depends on Yan Chuan to survive? How dare you divorce Yan Chuan?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Li twitched the corners of her mouth, her smile both mocking and bitter.
Although I had no expectations for my father, he didn't offer a single word of concern when he called.
They didn't care at all whether she was upset or felt wronged that Song Xiaowan had come to her door.
All they talk about is self-interest, and all they say is blame.
"Dad, do you think Lu Yanchuan is stupid?"
“…What?” Shen Wenzhong’s voice was taken aback.
"You know the Shen family is only in this state now. Lu Yanchuan isn't stupid. Why would he let the Shen family and you bleed him dry?"
Shen Li took a deep breath as she said this, "And why do you keep helping me pay off my gambling debts? You're almost sixty years old, can't you stop being so naive?"
Shen Wenzhong stammered, "Was the agreement Yan Chuan's idea from the very beginning?"
But Shen Wenzhong quickly realized, "But if he can invest 30 million in Xiao Qu's project, continuing to support the Shen family certainly won't be a problem. Besides, he didn't really want to divorce you, did he?!"
"You better behave yourself and try to please him! Don't think I don't know! Everyone's saying that you were the one who asked him for a divorce!"
There's no such thing as a secret that stays hidden forever.
The news that Shen Li handed Lu Yanchuan a divorce agreement was not a major secret and naturally spread gradually.
"Chen Li! Did you hear me? Otherwise, I won't let you off!"
Hearing the furious voice on the other end, Shen Li remained unusually indifferent. She didn't say anything and hung up the phone.
Shen Li turned off the water pipe and stood there for a while before going inside.
Lu Yanchuan was in the living room. Hearing her footsteps, he looked over. "I had Zhou Yan order some dishes... What's wrong?"
Noticing that Shen Li's expression was not quite right, Lu Yanchuan subtly furrowed his brow.
I saw her holding a phone in her hand.
"Who called you..." Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yanchuan realized, "Shen Wenzhong called you?"
Judging from the conversation with her mother and Shen Li's emotions, it's easy to guess that it was Shen Wenzhong calling.
Lu Yanchuan knew very well what kind of person Shen Wenzhong was, otherwise he wouldn't have used this to criticize Shen Li so often.
"Chen Li, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Li looked up and interrupted, "President Lu, can I ask you for a favor?"
Mr. Lu?
Lu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow.
