After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

He lost his footing and fell heavily to the ground, almost scraping his knees.

Looking up, I met his sharp, cold gaze, and my heart felt like it was being blocked.

The mere thought that he no longer belonged to her stirred an urge to flee immediately.

Shen Xuan adjusted her skirt; her knees were already covered in bruises.

"Li Siyuan, are you out of your mind? Why do you keep bothering me?"

Shen Xuan supported herself on the ground and slowly got up, her voice filled with exhaustion and weakness.

"Are you in such a hurry to sever ties with me?" he spat out through gritted teeth, his voice filled with anger.

"Once you've signed, then don't bother me anymore."

Whether it's over between us or not is up to me to decide.

His large hand suddenly gripped her wrist, almost dragging her into the car.

Li Siyuan closed the car door without saying a word and then drove onto the highway.

Shen Xuan leaned against the car window, dazed, a red mark on her forehead from the earlier collision.

The image, imprinted on her pretty face, looked abrupt and out of place.

She leaned close, her expression obscured by stray hairs falling across her forehead.

"Li Siyuan, I feel a little unwell..."

Shen Xuan murmured softly, her head resting against the back of the chair. Li Siyuan remained expressionless, unmoved by her words.

Feeling unwell? Why didn't she say she was unwell when you confronted her? Now she's feeling unwell after getting on the bus?

Did she think he would care if she just acted cute?

"Li Siyuan, I'm really in a lot of pain."

……

As if realizing something, he solemnly reached out and touched her forehead.

He immediately tightened his face, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car onto another road.

When Cheng Lu arrived, Shen Xuan was lying quietly on the bed receiving an IV drip, her face as pale as paper.

Seeing this, Cheng Lu couldn't help but step forward and gently tap her forehead: "You little rascal, why did you make yourself so weak?"

"I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit, don't worry about me too much."

"Hey, tell me, why did Li Siyuan take you away?"

After thinking for a moment, she forced a smile: "It's nothing, just dealing with some trivial matters related to the divorce."

Cheng Lu asked tentatively, "Oh, really that's all?"

Shen Xuan nodded.

Seeing Cheng Lu's knowing look, she nodded firmly again.

Cheng Lu pretended to know everything, clapped her hands and said, "Okay, since he brought you to the hospital, I'll trust you this once and for all."

Shen Xuan's eyes immediately dimmed.

Just then, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

Before she could speak, a slightly low, hoarse voice, tinged with impatience, came from the other end of the phone.

"Shen Xuan, you brat, where are you right now? What happened? Why did you have to get a divorce? Do you know how I'm supposed to negotiate a business deal with the Li family now that you're divorced?"

Shen Xuan's throat tightened, and he was silenced by his words.

"You're not unaware of the current situation at Shen's Group. Do you know how much damage your quiet divorce will cause to the company?"

Hearing the scolding on the phone, that familiar voice, even though Shen Zhentao hadn't directly reprimanded her, she could feel her father's anger.

The Shen family business was my maternal grandfather's life's work, but in the past two years, since my father took over, the Shen family business has gradually declined.

The once glorious Shen family was gradually forgotten after the passing of the maternal grandfather.

Especially under the father's leadership, it is gradually declining.

She had considered taking back control of the Shen family business and running it herself, but two years ago, her father forced her to relinquish control of the Shen family business.

Li Siyuan asked her if she wanted help to take back the Shen family business and put it under the Li family's name for her to manage, but Shen Xuan decided to let go, since it was also a Shen family business after all.

Besides, she didn't want to get involved with Li Siyuan because of the Shen family's affairs.

Later, she handed the company over to her father, Shen Zhentao. It's unclear how he managed it, but he somehow managed to get involved with the Li family. Under these circumstances, the Shen family has barely managed to get to where it is today.

Now that she and Li Siyuan have completely fallen out, the Li family naturally has no reason to help the Shen family anymore, and Li Siyuan will certainly no longer care whether Shen Shi lives or dies.

"If you can't manage the Shen family business, you can simply let go. Why do you have to rely on the Li family for everything? Do you think you can't survive without the Li family?"

Shen Xuan said these words with some anger, but unexpectedly, it only provoked Shen Zhentao to become even more furious.

"You unfilial daughter, how dare you speak like that! Marrying into the Li family is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes, how can you just say you want a divorce?"

"So many people probably dream of marrying into the Li family, but look at you, such a good catch, you just threw him away like that, are you out of your mind? How could I, Shen Zhentao, have such a good-for-nothing son like you?"

"dad!"

Shen Xuan angrily interrupted him, saying emotionally, "You only care about your face and your money. What else do you see besides money?"

"You were the one who took the Shen family from me back then. Now that your own company is not doing well, why are you blaming me?"

"Shen Xuan, you brat, why don't you say that to my face!"

If it weren't for the phone call, Shen Zhentao probably would have slapped him across the face already.

"You go back to the Li family right now and have a good talk with Young Master Li, ask him to lend our Shen family a hand. Shen Xuan, can you really bear to see your grandfather's years of hard work go to waste like this?"

Shen Zhentao paused, then continued, "Old Master Li has never really liked you, has he? Go and beg him to let Young Master Li help the Shen family out of respect for your grandfather."

"We're already divorced, and you still want me to go back? What are you up to? If you can't manage the Shen family well, just give it back to me. The Shen family doesn't need you."

Getting angrier the more they talked, Shen Xuan simply hung up the phone.

Cheng Lu stood beside her, staring blankly for a long time.

Does this mean they want her to go back?

Two days later, Shen Xuan returned to Xuanmao.

Having shaken off Li Siyuan's entanglement, she now seems like a completely different person.

Because Li Siyuan's visit last time severely impacted her work, Shen Xuan originally planned to resign with Lu Yuchen.

When Lu Yuchen saw her, Shen Xuan was sitting blankly on the sofa in his office.

He stared at the resignation letter Shen Xuan handed him, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Didn't you already divorce your ex-husband? Why are you still resigning?"

"To be honest, my dad wants me to go back and manage the company, so I can't stay here."

"Xuan, are you really sure your father, Shen Zhentao, will hand over the Shen family to you, or give you a place in the Shen family?" Lu Yuchen asked firmly.

Shen Xuan was stunned, not expecting that Lu Yuchen knew her situation so well.

Before she even revealed her background, he knew she was Shen Zhentao's daughter.

Moreover, he knew that her father would not give the Shen family to her, and might not even let her enter the Shen family's gate.

Noticing the strange look in his eyes earlier, Shen Xuan couldn't help but ask, "President Lu, how do you know who I am?"

"Ah Xuan, you really don't remember me?"
