In her memory, Shen Xuan had always been weak and submissive, allowing her to trample on him.

How could she tolerate such arrogance?

To maintain her image as a wealthy lady and her previous authority as a mother-in-law, she took a deep breath and continued, "My son is devoted to you, but you're still not satisfied. You're always running around with other men, causing Si Yuan to run around everywhere because of you. Do you know how much your career has been affected? Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the Shen family and the Li family for what you've done?"

"enough!"

She interrupted her, "I'm not listening to your lectures, Li Shulian. I could tolerate your dislike before, but now I have nothing to do with your son anymore, and I don't need you to lecture me. Instead of wasting your time pointing fingers, you should go back and discipline your own son properly. Don't forget, it's your son who's clinging to me now, not me clinging to him. He's a treasure to you, but to me he's just trash."

Then she commanded, "Stop the car!"

The driver, already sweating profusely from the tense atmosphere inside the car, immediately stopped the vehicle upon hearing Shen Xuan's resolute order.

Shen Xuan didn't say anything more, opened the car door and got out, then slammed the door shut. His movements were swift and decisive, leaving Li Shulian, who was inside the car, completely stunned.

This girl is getting bolder and bolder. She is, after all, an elder, but she is completely suppressed by her and has no power to resist. She is even angrier.

In the blink of an eye, a blue sports car stopped in front of her.

Shen Xuan stopped and glanced at the driver, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But there was no other way, so I opened the door and sat inside.

Li Shulian was furious when she saw Shen Xuan get into another man's car.

She clearly got back together with her son, so how could she leave with someone else?

Shen Xuan sat quietly in the car, lost in thought.

It was too far from the city center to hail a taxi, and I didn't want to travel with Li Shulian, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ride in his car.

He had one hand resting on the car window, and he looked quite energetic.

Shen Xuan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "Thank you."

Lu Shuli paused for a moment, glanced at her, and continued whistling.

The atmosphere in the car was somewhat heavy. She tried to lean to the side, resting her head on the seat to keep her distance from him.

"You registered your marriage with my older brother? Why didn't he come to pick you up?"

After a while, Lu Shuli asked seriously, tapping her fingers lightly on the steering wheel, as if she were having a casual chat.

Shen Xuan glanced at him, then quickly turned back, unsure whether he genuinely didn't know or was asking on purpose.

"How is your brother?" she asked in a low voice, her head lowered.

Lu Shuli said, "I don't know, he hasn't come looking for me. He hung up on me yesterday and hasn't called back. I was going to ask you about it, didn't you get your marriage certificate with him? Is there a problem?"

Shen Xuan felt a pang of sadness when Lu Shuli, who had expected to know about Li Siyuan's situation, gave him such an answer.

"We haven't received the certificate."

"Oh!" Lu Shuli responded, with an expression of indifference.

"Where did your brother go? Don't you know?" she asked anxiously again.

"I don't know!" he replied.

Shen Xuan's heart suddenly tightened.

Li Siyuan disappeared for more than twenty hours, and even Lu Yuchen was nowhere to be found.

What on earth are these two men up to?

It's really illogical that Li Siyuan didn't bother her to attend such an important occasion.

The car was parked at the entrance of a commercial center, where the decorations were extremely luxurious.

Shen Xuan got out of the car and looked up to see Yan Anxun standing at the door looking at his watch. But he suddenly looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

She didn't say anything, but simply brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, held a limited-edition bag in her hand, and walked towards him in high heels.

Yan Anxun glanced at her a few times with a strange look.

As she approached, he said, "Did Li Siyuan know you got out of Lu Shuli's car?"

She stopped, glanced at him sideways, then looked away and said, "He can abandon me at a time like this, so why would he care about this?"

Lu Shuli handed the car keys to the security guard to park the car, and followed her over.

But he didn't know what Yan Anxun had said to her; he only noticed that Shen Xuan's expression didn't look good.

She stopped speaking, only feeling someone silently following her from behind, so she quickly went inside.

Yan Anxun, who was standing at the door, put his hand in front of his chest and said with a serious face, "What are you doing? Don't you know that Shen Xuan is a troublemaker and you can't mess with her? How dare you follow her here so casually?"

Lu Shuli scratched her head and asked, "Shouldn't you first think about why Li Siyuan let her get into my car?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Anxun frowned slightly, as if he had suddenly realized something unusual about Li Siyuan.

Just as Lu Shuli was about to leave, Yan Anxun put his arm around his shoulder: "I have to warn you, it's best not to mess with this woman named Shen Xuan. I think you should keep your distance from her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuli remained silent.

Whether he accepted Yan Anxun's advice or simply ignored the warning, he merely turned slightly and strode inside.

The party upstairs was extremely luxurious, with bright and dazzling lights. All the prominent families in Jiangcheng were present, and beautiful socialites from all walks of life also showed up, making the scene exceptionally lively.

The moment Shen Xuan stepped into the room, she became the center of attention.

Most of the discussions about her focus on her recent activities with the Shen family and her own scandals.

Upon her arrival, bodyguards immediately went to greet her and lead the way.

Many young ladies from prominent families looked at her with envy, for such a highly regarded position was an honor they dreamed of but could never attain.

In addition, the old master of the Yan family favored her, which can be said to have given her a golden edge in social circles.

"Please come this way, Miss Shen!"

Shen Xuan followed the instructions and walked inside, arriving in a small, secluded hall in the blink of an eye.

Please rest here for a while, and let me know if you need anything.

After saying this, the staff member respectfully withdrew.

After looking around, Shen Xuan noticed that her father, dressed in a suit and tie, was chatting happily with several businessmen not far away, holding a wine glass.

Upon noticing his daughter enter, Mr. Shen instinctively looked over.

But Shen Xuan didn't stop. She walked straight to another corner, completely ignoring her father's gaze.

Being publicly scorned by his own daughter made Shen Zhentao lose face.

Cheng Lu was standing in an inconspicuous corner of the room, chatting with a few acquaintances, when Yan Anxun appeared beside her with his hands in his pockets.

Sensing someone else beside her, Cheng Lu turned her head and discovered that the person who had come was someone she did not like.

"Are you tired? Do you want to find a place to sit down and rest for a while?" he asked lazily, leaning against the wall.

Cheng Lu was momentarily bewildered by this unexpected question. Only after confirming that the other person was indeed speaking to her did she point her finger and retort, "Are you talking to me?"

Cheng Lu was surprised that this usually arrogant young master would take the initiative to show concern.
