Divorce and flash marriage, CEO ex-husband regrets heartbreak

But for Xiuzhi, he could only suppress his discomfort and keep moving forward.

After walking for a long time, he finally came to the door that Xiuzhi mentioned and knocked on it.

The door opened quickly. Xiuzhi nervously stuck her head out and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she pulled Lu Mian into the house.

The lights in the room were not very bright, dim and flickering, which made Lu Mian's eyes hurt.

He frowned and looked at Xiuzhi, a hint of displeasure on his weathered face. "You live here?"

Didn't he give her his bank card? Wouldn't she find a better place?

Xiuzhi didn't answer him. She glanced at his awkward and uncomfortable look, thinking that he was disgusted with the place. When she lowered her head, she saw that his right hand hanging by his side was pitch black, and she couldn't help laughing.

Although Lu Mian is a man, he is extremely fond of cleanliness. Normally, he would brush off even a little mud on the toes of his shoes, not to mention that his entire hands are now black. You can imagine how crazy he is inside.

"Wait for me first." Xiuzhi said to him with a smile.

The corners of Lu Mian's mouth twitched. They were from the same hometown and had known each other for many years. He had already guessed what Xiuzhi was going to do.

He raised his eyes and looked at the extremely dilapidated house, and his brow suddenly ached.

Although Xiuzhi was just a servant in the Di family, with him around, when had she ever lived in such poor conditions?

"Come and wash." Xiuzhi brought out a basin of water and placed it in front of Lu Mian.

Lu Mian was feeling physically unwell, so he put his hands into the basin without hesitation and started scrubbing them, using such force that it seemed as if he was rubbing off several pounds of mud.

Xiuzhi found it funny. Most men with mysophobia are young men, and there are very few of them who are as old as Lu Mian.

"Xiuzhi, hurry up and pack your things. I'll send you abroad later." Lu Mian said as he washed his hands vigorously.

Xiuzhi's smile froze when she heard this. "Go abroad? What country? I'm not going abroad."

Now that the young master and the young lady have finally met, she has to stay and see if there is anything she can do to help.

Lu Mian knew she would refuse. He stood up straight, took out two pieces of paper and wiped the water off his hands. His expression was stern as never before. "I'm not kidding you. You must leave this country."

The master has ordered him to investigate the young lady's matter thoroughly, and he cannot feel at ease until she leaves.

Although he had found a way to cover it up, as long as she was in Country K, the matter could be brought up and re-investigated at any time.

What's more, the second young master might still be watching her in secret, so he can only feel completely at ease if he sends her away.

"I won't go out. It's not easy for the young master and the young lady to meet each other. I won't leave at this time no matter what you say."

Lu Mian was furious. "It's precisely because of their meeting that you have to leave. Do you know that the master has ordered me to investigate who leaked the young lady's affairs at the Di family to the young master? He also specifically instructed me not to let the person go if I find him, and to punish him severely."

Xiuzhi didn't care. "What are you afraid of? It's not the first time he's asked you to investigate. Besides, I know you have a way to protect me."

"I'll protect you..." Lu Mian was so angry that he wanted to yell, but he felt it was an insult to his manners.

"Other matters are easy to deal with, I will definitely keep you safe, but this involves the young lady, do you think I have the ability to do that?

You know how much the master is superstitious about this matter, and you are also confused. Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with me before going straight to the young master? Do you know that this will make the relationship between the grandfather and grandson even more strained?"

Xiuzhi did not see, nor could she imagine, the tense situation between Di Guanwei and Yin Junye when they met.

But Lu Mian was there, and his scalp tingled when he recalled the way the grandfather and grandson disliked each other and stared at each other fiercely.

One is arrogant and domineering, the other is arrogant and heartless and terrible.

Neither of these two people, the grandfather and the grandson, are easy to deal with, and coupled with the matter of Miss Mo Lan, it is like a tinderbox to light a bomb.

It almost blew up all these irrelevant people, and all this was because of Xiuzhi's recklessness.

Lu Mian was not unhappy about Di Guanwei and Yin Junye meeting. In fact, he was hoping that the grandparents and grandchildren could meet sooner, but this way of meeting... was frightening no matter how he thought about it.

Xiuzhi refused to accept his accusation, her eyes reddening as she said, "A strained relationship? Humph, he's just an old beast without any humanity. Do you really expect him to be friendly with a young master he's never met?"

"Don't be naive, Lu Mian. You've been working in the Di family for almost your entire life. You and he are both servants and friends. Don't you know what his character is like?

Cold-blooded, narrow-minded, selfish, and arbitrary, she always likes to manipulate and oppress others. The old lady is like this, the eldest young master is like this, and now the young lady is like this too."

"When has he ever cared about having a strained relationship with someone? If he really cared, he wouldn't be this arrogant person who wants to control everyone now."

"Xiuzhi, Master, there's nothing we can do about this. Although we are servants of the Di family, we don't understand family matters. Perhaps he... well, he has his own reasons."

Lu Mian didn't want to speak for Di Guanwei, but Di Guanwei was really good to him, so he couldn't just remain indifferent and not help him explain.

Xiuzhi, however, ignored him. "Come on, what hardship? That's just a high-sounding excuse he made up for himself. Have you ever seen anyone with hardship drive their wife to death, drive their son crazy, or turn their great-granddaughter into an idiot?"

Lu Mian was shocked by her outspoken words and frowned, "Pfft, ffff, ffff, don't talk nonsense, the young lady is not a fool, she is extremely smart and has an extraordinary IQ. Have you forgotten that we tested her IQ, and her value was incredibly high."

Speaking of this, Xiuzhi became even more angry, her nose sore, and she complained, "Yes, the young lady has an IQ that is incredibly high, but do you know how those three years of strict training and enlightenment have tortured her?

Without ideas, happiness, or spirit, she was like a walking corpse, and she often…"

"Often what?" Lu Mian was almost driven crazy by her half-spoken words.

He still remembered the last time she inexplicably said that the young lady had a monster hidden in her heart, and now it popped up again.

But she often told him what it was.
