Chapter 108 Like a disaster!
Lin Shuyun never thought that Xu Shaoyu would catch her right in the act of hitting Yan Ruo.
She turned around angrily and looked at the culprit, but Yan Ruo still smiled calmly and even explained in a caring manner.
"Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu and I just had dinner together."
Regardless of the shock and anger in Lin Shuyun's eyes, he kindly pointed to the restaurant next door.
"Look, this is the restaurant. It's all the rage online right now, and the food is delicious. If you're interested, you might as well give it a try. You need to make a reservation in advance, though, so you might have to wait in line."
Xu Shaoyu glanced at her lightly, and seeing her smug look, a hint of smile flashed across her eyes.
Lin Shuyun was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire, but because Xu Shaoyu was present, she couldn't take action or curse, so she could only grit her teeth.
After several seconds, he looked at Xu Shaoyu.
"Shao Yu, I know you're considerate of your subordinates, but you should be careful when you're having dinner with a former secretary like today. It could easily lead to misunderstandings."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Ruo coldly, with a hint of meaning in his words.
"Especially those women who rely on their looks to climb up the social ladder. They are the most shameless. If you do this, she will feel..."
"Stop talking!"
Xu Shaoyu really couldn't bear to listen any longer. He quickly glanced at Yan Ruo and saw that her face was calm, as if she was immune to these words. His expression suddenly darkened.
Being scolded by her own son in front of another woman, Lin Shuyun's anger reached its peak.
"Shaoyu, how could you talk to Mom like that? Just for a woman like this."
She didn't dare to get angry at Xu Shaoyu, and her voice was filled with grievance. When she looked at Yan Ruoshi, she just wanted to vent all her anger and dissatisfaction.
"This woman used to seduce you under the guise of being your secretary, and now, even though she's already resigned several months ago, she still has the nerve to come looking for you."
"I think she's clearly failed to get involved with other wealthy sponsors these past few months, and knowing you're soft-hearted, she's come back to you. Don't be stupid."
Lin Shuyun spoke enthusiastically, and she felt no pressure in arranging Yan Ruo's words.
What she didn't see was that Xu Shaoyu's face was getting colder and colder, and his voice was like it was covered with a layer of frost.
"If you say one more word, I will stop all cooperation between the Xu family and the Lin family."
Lin Shuyun instantly felt like a duck with its neck strangled. All her sounds were blocked in her throat and she remained silent for a long time.
Lin Yuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't help it.
The Lin family's business depends entirely on the Xu family's support. If Xu Shaoyu really does this, the Lin family will be finished.
She quickly took two steps forward, took Lin Shuyun's arm, and squeezed her hand hard.
"Cousin, don't be angry. Auntie is worried about you. She's just a little impatient and speaks harshly."
The slight pain in her hand made Lin Shuyun react immediately. Xu Shaoyu always kept his word. What if he got really angry and stopped cooperating with the Lin family?
Although this son was not close to her, it was the first time he said such harsh words.
It’s all because of that vixen Yan Ruo.
Lin Shuyun glared at Yan Ruo fiercely, and when her gaze moved to Xu Shaoyu who was standing next to Yan Ruo, her eyes instantly turned red with grievance.
"Shaoyu, Mommy is doing this for your own good. Your uncle has loved you since you were little, so you can't say such angry words no matter what."
Xu Shaoyu's face was cold and his voice was emotionless.
"Do you love me? Or do you hate me for not letting him lie on top of you and suck your blood?"
Lin Shuyun's face changed drastically when she heard this. "You can't just say that. He's your uncle."
"My real uncle?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Xu Shaoyu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
He grabbed Yan Ruo's shoulder and said, "Formally introduce Yan Ruo, my girlfriend, and my future significant other. I hope you will be more polite to her in the future."
Yan Ruo looked at him in surprise.
"Girlfriend?" Lin Shuyun couldn't accept this at all.
"You just played with her before, but do you really want to marry her? How can a woman like this be qualified to enter the Xu family? She..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Shaoyu took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Assistant Liu, immediately stop the project with the Lin family in Binhai."
After saying this, he paused deliberately and looked at Lin Shuyun, as if waiting for her to continue.
Seeing that he was serious, Lin Shuyun didn't dare to say anything more. She was already a little afraid of Xu Shaoyu, and now there was a surge of anger in her eyes, mixed with a hint of fear.
The hand on Yan Ruo's shoulder tightened, Xu Shao tilted his head, slightly pulled the corner of his mouth, and his voice softened a little.
"I have something else to say. Please wait for me in the car."
It just so happened that Yan Ruo didn't want to stand here and witness the drama of mother and son falling out. Although the relationship between mother and son was originally thinner than boiled water.
But this situation always makes her feel like she is the cause of all the trouble.
It was not until Yan Ruo entered the elevator that Xu Shaoyu withdrew his gaze from her, and the coldness in his eyes reappeared.
"If Yan Ruo is the person I've chosen, there are some words I hope I never hear again."
Lin Shuyun was angry and scared, and asked in disbelief.
"Shaoyu, do you really want to treat your mother like this for such a woman?"
"Mom?" Xu Shaoyu seemed to have heard something funny.
"Have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother for even one day since my father passed away?"
Lin Shuyun looked hurt.
"How can you say that? When your father left suddenly, you were so young and had no idea how difficult our life was."
"Not only did the company fall into the hands of your second uncle, but even the shares we held were almost swallowed up by him. You are clearly the rightful heir to the Xu family. Because your father is not here, my mother and I are laughed at and looked down upon wherever we go."
"If it weren't for your uncle's help, I wouldn't have been able to carry you on my own."
"Now that you've grown up and become capable, the entire Xu family is in your hands. Instead of repaying your uncle, you're actually thinking about dealing with him?"
Although she spoke sincerely, Xu Shaoyu remained expressionless.
After hearing the last sentence, a layer of terrifying frost covered his pretty face, and his eyes became fierce.
"What did the Lin family do for us? Did they help us squander all the money my father left behind, or did they help us live in the villa my father bought for us?"
Lin Shuyun froze in place, meeting Xu Shaoyu's indifferent and distant gaze, and could only shake her head helplessly.
"No, that's not the case. I asked your uncle to help me invest, but I just lost money."
Xu Shaoyu didn't want to listen to her explanation and continued.
"I just remember that after my dad passed away, my family's things would inexplicably become the Lin family's. If I wanted something, you would just encourage me to beg for it from my grandparents like a beggar."
"Even the shares under my father's name, if it weren't for Grandpa watching over them, I'm afraid they would have been in the hands of the Lin family long ago."
Lin Shuyun always thought that her son was not close to her because of his indifferent personality and his independence since childhood.
I didn't expect that he had seen and remembered all these things over the years.
She shook her head frantically, trying to deny Xu Shaoyu's statements.
"Shaoyu, you misunderstood your mother. You were young back then and didn't understand many things. Your mother did that because..."
"Why?" Xu Shaoyu looked at her quietly, waiting for her to explain.
