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

He had initially guessed that she might stay in the Lu family and live with someone, but things turned out completely unexpectedly.

The other party seems to have vanished from the world without a trace.

Whenever Li Siyuan thought about every word that woman had said to him and the attitude she had shown, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

Even if he's in a hurry now, he's absolutely unwilling to lower his dignity to beg a woman who doesn't care about his feelings to change her mind.

And those harsh words spoken in a fit of rage that day, if heard by anyone with even a shred of self-respect, would they not have taken the initiative to come forward to explain or beg for forgiveness?

At this moment, Li Siyuan was holding his phone tightly. Although his eyes were focused on the content that his assistant was trying to explain, he was actually completely distracted.

He could hear his colleagues discussing something, but not a single word of it truly entered his mind.

The surrounding colleagues also keenly noticed the boss's unusual behavior today, and everyone began to hesitate whether they should continue to discuss the current work matters as originally planned or wait for further instructions.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze turned to Jiang Yu, the only one still speaking, seeking guidance.

Faced with this situation, the clever and quick-witted Jiang Yu remained remarkably calm and composed.

He deliberately held up a proposal he was holding, obscuring half of his face, and secretly glanced at Li Siyuan, who sat opposite him with a gloomy expression. He knew in his heart that it was absolutely not advisable to break the delicate and heavy atmosphere by speaking rashly at this moment.

After a long period of silence, Li Siyuan, who had remained silent all along, finally stood up.

Clearly, there was only one question swirling in his mind at that moment: Where exactly did Shen Xuan go?

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. He finally decided to end the meeting and left the conference room alone, leaving behind a group of subordinates who looked at each other blankly, not knowing what to do.

Just then, Jin Shuying, who had just opened the door and entered the room, happened to run into Lu Shuli, who was about to leave.

The mother and son looked at each other and were immediately stunned.

A moment later, Kim Suk-young looked at her son with a complex and indescribable gaze.

Her gaze held an indescribable emotion that left Lu Shuli feeling inexplicably confused.

Then, she quickly passed by her son and hurried upstairs, as if she were hiding a secret.

Lu Shuli stood there, her brows furrowed, her face full of confusion.

He really didn't understand why his mother had looked at him like that just now.

In particular, in his memory, his mother's mood changed after she returned from seeing Shen Xuan.

What special story is hidden behind this?

Thinking of this, Lu Shuli frowned again, then straightened her sleeves, turned and went out.

Shen Xuan slept until evening before leaving her room.

However, when she stepped out of the bedroom, she was surprised to find that Gao Jing was nowhere to be seen in the yard.

She also noticed that even Lu Yuchen had gone out without her noticing.

The entire courtyard was unusually quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects breaking the silence.

At that moment, she felt a little hungry, so she went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to find something to eat, and even planned to cook some food herself to fill her stomach.

However, after searching through the refrigerator for a while, she couldn't find any food that suited her taste.

In the end, I had no choice but to take out a bag of frozen dumplings and make do with that.

Just as she was about to get a pot to cook dumplings, the doorbell rang.

Hearing the sound, Shen Xuan turned around and glanced in the direction of the kitchen door. She casually placed the frozen dumplings in her hand on the dining table, then walked to the door and opened it.

A man in a black security guard uniform appeared before Shen Xuan and said very politely, "Hello, I am from the Lu family. Today, I have come on the orders of my young master to invite you to our home for a meal."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan was slightly taken aback, then raised her head to carefully examine the unfamiliar visitor in front of her.

Realizing that the other person was indeed from the Lu family, Shen Xuan sighed softly and replied somewhat reluctantly, "Actually, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I don't want to go out."

Before she could even finish speaking and fully express her refusal, the security guard bent down and asked with concern and politeness, "Ms. Shen, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to take you to the hospital for a check-up right away?"

She sniffed softly, then waved her hand and said in a slightly trembling voice, "I really don't need to go to the hospital. I just need some time to rest and I'll be fine. You go back first, don't worry about me."

"In that case, why don't I call the young master right away and ask him to come and take you to see the doctor in person?"

As the other person spoke, they made a gesture as if to take out their phone to dial a number, seemingly unwilling to let go of this opportunity to let their owner know that Shen Xuan was not in good health.

Realizing the other person's intentions, Shen Xuan could only sigh slightly, then glanced at him sideways and replied, "Alright, I know you meant well by reminding him to pay attention to my situation. Give me a few minutes to change into some suitable clothes."

Although she didn't say it outright, she knew in her heart that if she refused to attend tonight, that stubborn man wouldn't give up.

Then, she turned around and went back into the kitchen, which was still filled with heat and aroma. First, she carefully turned off the stove, which no longer needed to be used, and then she reached out and took off the coat hanging on the wall, put it on, and left her residence.

During the car ride, Shen Xuan appeared extremely tired and weak. Her eyes were half-closed, and she supported her forehead with her hand. Her mind was a mess, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

She was only brought back to reality when the car slowly came to a stop in front of a luxuriously decorated mansion with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

"Miss Shen, please get out of the car."

The driver respectfully opened the car door and gave the instructions.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar entrance to the Lu family compound, Shen Xuan silently got out of the car and, led by a servant, slowly walked into this place he had visited countless times before.

As soon as she stepped into the spacious and clean courtyard, a young woman in uniform with a gentle and friendly expression immediately came forward to greet her and said warmly, "Welcome home, Miss Shen!"

At this moment, the old housekeeper, Uncle Hu, who was concentrating on taking care of the growth of each flower and plant in the flower bed, also noticed the guests who had just entered.

Seeing this, he quickly put down his tools and strode over, greeting her with a broad smile: "Oh, Miss Shen, it's a rare treat to have you here. You've really added a touch of elegance to our old courtyard."
