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

"I want to take you to the Lu family to meet someone. Would you like to come with me? You might never have the chance to see him again."

Her voice softened, as if she was trying to make her words sound less abrupt, while also carrying a hint of anticipation.

"I have absolutely no interest in your Lu family, so please stop bothering me. Haven't I been unlucky enough to run into someone from your family?"

Shen Xuan replied with a cold laugh, her tone icy and resolute, as if every word was a thorn.

She raised her head, her gaze sweeping across Kim Suk-young's face like a knife, making no attempt to hide her disgust and rejection.

That kind of indifference that emanates from the very core of one's being is impossible to ignore.

"You didn't even ask who I wanted to see, how do you know I'm not interested?"

Kim Suk-young frowned, trying to retort in a slightly calmer tone.

However, her heart was already in turmoil with a mix of complex emotions.

She understood how resistant the woman in front of her was to her, but she didn't want to give up so easily.

This dedication stems from both a sense of mission and some personal selfishness.

"I'm not interested, that's all. I can't be bothered to ask any more questions. Please stop bothering me, and don't even mention asking me to go back to the Lu family."

Shen Xuan's voice suddenly rose a little, and her tone became more rigid and uncompromising.

Her body stood there stiffly, like an unbreakable barrier, completely cutting off all of Kim Suk-young's attempts.

Then, without giving the other person any chance to respond, she decisively turned around and quickly left.

Jin Shuying opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Shen Xuan had already disappeared from her sight, leaving only a gap of air to fill the space between the two of them.

She stood quietly in place, watching the other person's figure gradually fade into the distance.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me, including frustration and a touch of regret.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and readjusted herself.

At that moment, a car was parked at the door waiting for her, and Shen Xuan immediately got in as soon as she stepped out.

The person next to her tentatively asked, "Second Madam, should we make arrangements for your return to the Lu family?"

This question is like a stone thrown into a lake, creating ripples on the surface.

Jin Shuying's gaze suddenly darkened, as if she had fallen into a long period of contemplation.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, then she gently shook her head, "Let's wait a little longer."

The words were spoken casually, yet they revealed a hidden determination.

Then, she lowered her head and thought for a while, finally raised her eyes and firmly gave the order: "Arrange a time for me, I need to see Li Siyuan."

"But, given your past grievances with Miss Shen, is it appropriate to go see him now?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then quietly voiced his doubts.

Although cautious in his attitude, his words still revealed his confusion and concern.

They all knew how many intractable conflicts lay hidden behind this entanglement.

Jin Shuying pursed her lips, not answering immediately.

She slowly raised her hand, brushing a stray strand of hair from her forehead to the side, her movements natural yet earnest.

Afterward, she placed her bag steadily on her lap and said calmly, "Help me make an appointment. I need to meet that gentleman from the Shen family."

Her tone was calm and even, like a stagnant pool without any fluctuations, yet it subtly conveyed a certain meaning that was impossible to fathom.

On the other side, Lu Shuli stood in a dimly lit room, the entire space shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere.

The curtains were tightly drawn, with only a narrow slit in the corner letting in a few weak rays of light, casting the room in an eerie, oppressive atmosphere.

The attendant beside him carefully pushed open the door and knocked lightly a few times, making sure that the sound he made would not disturb the atmosphere inside.

"Third Young Master."

He called out in a low voice, his words revealing respect and restraint.

What was she doing in Jiangcheng?

Lu Shuli leaned against the wall, a cigarette casually held between her fingers in her right hand. The red sparks flickered, and the rising smoke created layers of hazy smoke in the air.

His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of languid weariness, but the intent to explore was quite evident within it.

The beam of light streaming through the window cracks shone on his face, outlining a silhouette that was half-lit and half-shadowed, making his expression even more mysterious and unpredictable.

"The second wife went to see Miss Shen. Judging from the situation, their relationship seems to have undergone some subtle changes."

The second wife embarked on her journey to Jiangcheng, her destination being the residence of the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Judging from her every move, her expression carried a rare complexity.

There seemed to be a thoughtful look in the depths of her eyes, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth made her seem even more elusive.

Where is this the second wife who is usually aloof and distant from everyone?

Clearly, this meeting was destined to be anything but simple.

As for the reasons behind this, no one can easily see through them.

"Subtle changes?"

He took a deep drag on his cigarette, his expression gradually turning serious.

Upon hearing this, the man frowned slightly, brought the cigarette in his hand to his lips, and took a deep drag.

As the pungent smell of tobacco spread, his brow furrowed even deeper.

The rising wisps of smoke blurred his face, but it was still clear that his state was rapidly changing. At first, he was nonchalant, but the next second he was completely focused.

An invisible pressure quietly emerged, making the entire room seem shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

His gaze was like two sharp blades, piercing straight ahead, as if trying to dissect the truth behind it all.

Since the incident at the villa, her attitude towards her enemy Shen Xuan has completely changed.

Since the series of conflicts that occurred at the villa that day, things have completely deviated from the intended course.

In the past, when the name Shen Xuan was mentioned, the Second Madam's eyes were full of resentment and indifference, but now she looks completely different.

That seemingly unbreakable hostility appeared to melt away quietly, replaced by an inexplicable gentleness and patience.

Such a huge contrast makes one wonder what kind of force could make someone who has been persistent for many years suddenly abandon their original stance.

Now he's even risking his life to personally travel to Jiangcheng to see Shen Xuan. What exactly is he thinking?

At this moment, the second wife's behavior has already transcended the realm of conventional logic.

As a person of high status, it is contradictory and uncertain that he would be willing to give up his comfort and ease, disregard the potential dangers and criticisms, and insist on going to Jiangcheng to visit the daughter of his nemesis.

What exactly is her purpose? Is it to ease the grudges between the two families, or is she hiding a more secretive purpose?

All the answers are still shrouded in mystery.

"Have someone keep an eye on her and see what she's up to by running back to Jiangcheng."

He waved his hand and issued the order without hesitation, his tone calm and decisive, each word as cold and hard as ice.
