After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.
Chapter 259 Isolated and helpless
Two days later.
In the early morning, the streets in front of the hospital were somewhat desolate.
Shen Xuan slowly walked out of the lobby, clutching a neatly folded lab report tightly in her hand. The paper was thin, yet it seemed to bear a thousand pounds of weight.
Her expression was subtle and complex, revealing an unspeakable emotional turmoil, as if she were experiencing an inner storm.
A loyal subordinate immediately noticed her unusual behavior and followed closely by her side without making a sound, scanning the surroundings warily, always protecting her until she approached the luxury car parked by the roadside.
Their steps were perfectly synchronized, each one cautious and steady on the street where the rain had not yet stopped.
Just as she was about to open the car door, she suddenly felt that something was not right.
Her hand had just touched the cold car door handle when she felt a prickling sensation in her heart, a strange unease rising within her.
She frowned, slowly removing her fingers from the car door handle, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what went wrong.
He pulled his foot back after taking a step, his toes lightly touching the ground, trembling slightly, as if he was puzzled by his sudden doubt.
She stopped where she was, stood there thinking carefully, then turned around and said to the man in a calm but slightly hurried tone, "I just remembered, I think I've run out of vitamins. Could you go and buy me a bottle? I'll wait for you here."
The man paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and replied, "Okay."
He didn't ask any more questions or show any suspicion; he simply walked quickly toward the pharmacy across the street.
His figure quickly disappeared into the crowd at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Shen Xuan narrowed her eyes, watching his departing figure, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, she quickly looked around, searching for an opportunity to escape.
Just then, a black sedan quietly and steadily stopped beside her.
The sedan is understated and unassuming, yet it exudes an undeniable presence.
She reached out and opened the car door almost without hesitation, her movements swift and clean, and then she sat down with agility.
With a soft click of the door closing, the car sped away like an arrow, leaving only a faint trail of exhaust fumes in the air.
On the other side, Han Xin was sitting on the sofa looking at her phone when a message suddenly made her calm expression freeze instantly.
She stared at the words on the screen, her expression growing increasingly grim. Her lips tightened involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with disbelief and anger.
She quickly stood up, grabbed her phone, hurried to the corner, and asked in a low voice, "What did you say? The person is missing?"
A series of short, tense breaths came from the other end of the phone. The other person was clearly flustered and stammered, "I went to buy something, and when I came back I couldn't find her... I don't know where she went!"
"Does Si Yuan know she didn't go back?"
Han Xin's voice was even colder, her tone aggressive, clearly indicating she didn't want to waste time arguing with the other party.
"Sir, you are not aware of the situation yet!"
The other party hurriedly explained, their voice trembling slightly with anxiety.
"We don't know if Miss Shen has returned to the Shen family yet. Last time, the master clearly instructed that no one was allowed to approach the Shen family! If we really lose her this time, the master will definitely not forgive me! Miss Xin, you have to help me think of a way!"
Hearing the other person's pleading tone, Han Xin frowned deeply, couldn't help but sigh, and her tone became increasingly impatient.
"Alright, enough talk, let's hurry up and go to the Shen family to check on the situation!"
She decisively gave the order and immediately hung up the phone, giving the other party no chance to say anything more.
She put down her phone, turned around, and strode out of the bedroom, each step displaying decisiveness and unwavering resolve.
As she slowly descended the last few steps of the stairs, her toes lightly touching the ground, and was about to turn back to the living room, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
The man walked in leisurely and confidently, his steps light and steady, as if without any hesitation. It was Shen Xuan!
Her arrival was like a thunderclap, exploding in Han Xin's mind.
"Shen Xuan, what are you doing here?"
Han Xin's voice rose several decibels in shock, almost as if she were shouting.
However, out of her usual self-control, she managed to suppress the fluctuations in her voice, but she still couldn't control her slightly trembling body.
In that instant, Han Xin felt a chill sweep over her entire body, her spine went cold, and she froze there like a statue.
Her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force. Then, she abruptly pressed her hands onto the armrests, trying to steady herself and conceal the turmoil in her heart.
Shen Xuan maintained a calm and composed demeanor throughout, with a faint, almost imperceptible, cold smile playing on her lips.
She gracefully pulled her hand out of her coat pocket and casually glanced at Han Xin standing on the stairs.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Shen Xuan's icy voice broke the brief silence: "This is my home, of course I should be here. Do you really think you can take advantage of my aunt and Si Yuan's absence to play some tricks on my daughter and me? Han Xin, I advise you to show some respect and not try to provoke my bottom line."
She paused, her gaze sharpening. "Even if you and Si Yuan grew up together, you can't change the fact. Regardless of the paternity test results for Weiwei and Si Yuan, I will not let my child lose its father. As for you..."
She abruptly changed the subject, her tone becoming even more aggressive: "If you want to stay in the Li family, you'd better behave yourself and not overstep your bounds, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences."
After saying these words, Shen Xuan did not linger any longer, but instead crossed her arms in front of her chest and straightened her back.
Her posture appeared casual and relaxed, but in reality, it exuded a sharp and unapproachable aura. Every movement and every detail demonstrated strong confidence and control.
This not only made the surrounding air heavier, but also made Lin Qianqing feel extremely oppressed.
Upon hearing these barbed words, Han Xin felt a tightness in her chest.
Anger instantly ignited all her reason; her clenched fingers turned even whiter, and even the knuckles faintly showed blue lines.
She was filled with resentment and wished she could rush over and tear off the other person's fake mask, then slap them hard a few times to vent her anger.
However, reality prevented her from taking any overstepping steps. Her rationality reminded her that the other party's strong confidence did not come from nowhere, but rather from Li Siyuan's protection and support.
If she were to truly break off relations now and anger Shen Xuan, it wouldn't just be a problem for Shen Xuan alone; it would also mean that she would be left isolated and helpless within the entire Li family.
This means her days in the Li family will likely be incredibly difficult.
