"It's nothing serious, just some personal matters that I need to take care of temporarily."

She gave a few perfunctory words, maintaining her usual calm and composed demeanor, and walked past the person in front of her into her office.

Seeing this, Guan Chengxin frowned even more, secretly guessing that this young lady was probably involved with Li Siyuan again.

He stood there for a long time outside the door before finally following Shen Xuan into the house.

Shen Xuan had just sat down in the chair and hadn't even opened her mouth when Guan Chengxin handed her a stack of documents, interrupting her train of thought.

His eyes were fixed on the other person's face, as if he had already seen through the truth, and he asked in a rather solemn tone, "Are you involved with that young master Li again?"

At this moment, Shen Xuan, who was focused on her work, did not look up at her. Instead, she asked in return, "Did you come here just to find out about this?"

"Girl, I remember warning you before not to get involved with the Li family, but you wouldn't listen to my advice. How are you going to get rid of Li Siyuan in the future?"

Guan Chengxin spoke earnestly, appearing very worried.

Shen Xuan reacted with considerable aversion to his concern and warning, coldly replying, "Can we not talk about this?"

Hearing this, Guan Chengxin had no choice but to give up for the time being. He crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow, and then gently massaged the area near his temples before replying, "Alright, since this is your private matter, I really shouldn't interfere. I just sincerely hope to save you from unnecessary trouble and don't want you to go down the same old path."

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment. She gripped the document in her hand tightly, as if she had become stiff because of this sudden news.

After a few seconds of silence, she slowly said, "I understand, thank you."

As she finished speaking, her voice revealed a mixture of helplessness and gratitude.

"Girl, I'm not helping you for your thanks. I'm doing this so that you can have a better life and not make the same mistake again."

His tone was full of sincerity, as if he wanted Xiaoxuan to understand that he was not acting out of selfishness.

After a pause, the man suggested, "Seeing how busy you've been lately, how about I go and check out the overseas branches for you?"

"So you knew all along?"

Shen Xuan looked up into the other person's eyes and asked, without showing any particular surprise.

After all, he couldn't keep the fact that he had transferred such a large sum of money from the company a secret forever; one day he would find out.

"You've used such a large sum of money, even Young Master Li already knows, how could I not know?"

Guan Chengxin explained.

Just as I was about to ask Guan Chengxin how he knew this secret, he unexpectedly continued, "But don't worry, even Li Siyuan knows nothing about the specific use of this money. In fact, you should know very well that your approach to this matter was truly ingenious. Even I can hardly be sure how you came up with such courage, let alone him."

The last sentence was full of irony, and Shen Xuan heard it and Xiao Xuan felt a pang of sympathy.

Clearly, sending Guan Chengxin to inspect the branch offices abroad was part of her plan to publicly expose them.

Although she didn't understand why Guan Chengxin had changed his attitude, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she thought about how he always tended to support Li Siyuan.

Although he was a member of the family and one of the people she trusted most, Shen Xuan was very dissatisfied with his tendency to side with the other party whenever something happened.

So, he looked directly at the person in front of him with a more determined gaze, while tightening his grip on the pen to show his resolve: "Guan Chengxin, you can leave now. By the way, I want to tell you something: I don't want you involved in the branch office matters, and you shouldn't let Li Siyuan know about them either."

He massaged his temples again, leaning on his elbow, and said, "Sure, do whatever you want. Anyway, with Young Master Li behind us, the Li family has money to burn. Buying a few more companies like Shen's is a piece of cake."

His tone was tinged with helplessness and sarcasm as he said this.

After saying that, he stood up and left her desk, leaving behind the sound of footsteps and an empty space.

Watching him walk out of the room, Shen Xuan sat there, feeling helpless and resigned, her eyes revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

She didn't know what to do and could only silently bear all the pressure.

His constant pointing out of her shortcomings had become so commonplace that she had almost taken it for granted.

Every time she encounters this situation, she feels powerless and tired, yet she doesn't know how to change the situation.

Her phone suddenly rang on the desk next to her.

The sharp ringing of the bell shattered the office silence, making the air even more still.

She glanced at it and saw the name displayed on the screen, which immediately drained her energy and made her feel even more exhausted.

There's almost no doubt that Gao Wei contacted her at this time because he had something to say.

Although she knew it might be bad news, out of professional habit, she picked up her phone to answer it.

In this quiet room, every movement seemed exceptionally clear and slow.

In an international office building, Lu Yuchen stood with his arms crossed in front of a large screen, discussing the charts on the display with the people around him.

The data lines on the screen fluctuated, making them seem very complicated and difficult to understand.

Lu Yuchen's gaze was focused and determined, clearly indicating that he was fully immersed in his work.

An hour later, Lu Yuchen came out of the conference room and found Gao Jing, dressed in casual clothes, already waiting for him in his office.

The moment he saw Gao Jing, he felt much more relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips.

She always manages to bring unexpected surprises.

As soon as he entered the room, his gaze was drawn to her. After a moment's pause, he asked, "What brings you here?"

Although the question was simple, it revealed his care and concern for her.

Gao Jing's sudden appearance caught him off guard, but it also brought him a long-lost warmth.

Gao Jing, with a lollipop in her mouth, sat on the sofa playing on her tablet. She turned to look at him, a hint of mystery in her eyes, and said, "I heard you haven't been doing well lately, so I came to see you."

Her voice was gentle and reassuring.

Her eyes also revealed a hint of concern and curiosity that was not easily detected.

Now that he and Shen Xuan have broken up, he must be in a bad mood.

However, the Lu Yuchen she saw now was not as depressed as she had imagined.

She couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her perception, or if he was deliberately hiding his inner pain.
