Finally, escorted by several Shen's employees, she entered the building.

These laymen, of course, did not know the real reason why the Shen family fell into his hands.

It can only be said that he did it too secretly, and outsiders thought it had nothing to do with him.

"Young Miss, please come this way."

The man beside her, dressed in a neat suit, exuded a calm and composed aura as he led her through the crowd into the elevator.

"Young Miss, do you intend to take back control of the Shen family now that you've returned?"

The man, holding a folder in his hand, asked earnestly in the elevator.

He was a talent promoted by her maternal grandfather, who entrusted him with the care of Shen's business when he passed away.

However, she lost contact with this person after her father, Shen Zhentao, took over the company, because her father did not welcome her back to the family business at that time.

Looking back now, she realizes that she was always treated as an outsider, and even the family business couldn't accept her as their daughter.

I thought that handing it over to my father would make up for some of the missing family warmth, but now I realize that was just my own fantasy, which is really laughable.

Shen Xuan nodded slightly and replied calmly, "For the time being, I will manage it myself."

"That's great." The man breathed a sigh of relief, looking very pleased.

Thinking about how the Shen family had gone from prosperity to decline under Shen Zhentao's leadership over the years, his heart was heavy.

As a long-time employee who witnessed this process, I am naturally well aware of the current situation.

It's just uncertain whether this young lady can shoulder this heavy burden.

Upon arriving at the upper floor, Shen Xuan headed straight for the familiar office area.

But everything here seems to have changed; all traces have been altered by the father.

Regardless, it was a business she had built with her grandfather since she was a child. Even if she wasn't interested in doing business, she believed she was more than capable of taking over Shen's Group.

She really had to thank Li Siyuan; he helped fill the financial gap at Shen's company. Otherwise, she would have been left with a mess on the verge of collapse. This greatly lightened the burden on her shoulders.

Lu Yuchen didn't call until noon. At that time, Shen Xuan was organizing documents in her office. Since she took over, Shen's Group seemed to have suddenly become very busy.

She answered Lu Yucheng's questions while flipping through the documents on the table.

Lu Yuchen asked, "What time did you leave? Let me know, we can walk together."

Shen Xuan spoke into the phone, the receiver tucked between her neck and her hand, while simultaneously picking up a document. "No need for all that trouble, I can handle this myself."

"Are you coming back tonight? Do you need me to pick you up? Or can I rent a small house for you near the Shen family's, and I can move in with you?"

Considering the long distance between the apartment and Shen's, which would take an hour and a half to drive back and forth each time, she hurriedly said, "There's no need to arrange it like that for now. I'll go back to my hometown tonight. There's no one there anyway, so I might as well go and check on the situation there."

"Okay, then I'll come find you for dinner tonight."

"Okay!" She waved her pen casually, made a goodbye gesture, and hung up the phone.

At this time, Li Siyuan had actually been wandering around downstairs at the Shen Group building for a while. He started waiting after seeing Shen Xuan enter the company, until Han Xin sent him a message.

He stared at the words on the screen, his vision blurry.

Jiang Yu glanced at the person in the rearview mirror and immediately guessed what was going on.

"Let's go to the hospital," he said casually after turning off his phone.

Since the children were born, I have indeed neglected their existence somewhat.

Recalling Shen Xuan's reaction to all of this, he knew that this might be her only choice.

Forcing her to stay by your side would only be an awkward experience for her.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the Women and Children's Hospital.

When Li Siyuan saw the child in Han Xin's arms, he sat to the side looking somewhat at a loss, until the little one was handed to him.

He hadn't really looked at the newborn properly before due to various reasons, but now the soft little life in his arms made him feel a surge of warmth.

Seeing his expression soften gave Han Xin even more courage to stay by his side.

"Si Yuan!" Han Xin suddenly spoke, calling his name softly.

Li Siyuan naturally turned his gaze to her, but at that moment another woman's image involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

Although he tried to make his tone sound gentler, he still couldn't hide the faint indifference in his voice.

Noticing this change, Han Xin unconsciously gripped the bed sheet tightly in her hands, and a hint of longing appeared in her eyes as she looked at him.

"Does our agreement to get married when the baby is a month old still stand?"

She asked tentatively, her eyes fixed on the other person, afraid of missing any change in expression.

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan's heart tightened.

Recalling his conversation with Shen Xuan last night, he became even more determined to keep his distance from Han Xin.

After thinking for a while, he said firmly, "Xin Xin, you know that I didn't really want this child. At that time, I was just immersed in my emotions, while you were the rational one. Although I can't marry you, I'm willing to give you and your daughter some compensation."

Han Xin was stunned, completely unexpected that he rejected her so quickly.

She had hoped that he would marry her because of the child, but she never expected his tone to be so resolute.

"Si Yuan, Shen Xuan will never come back to you, so why are you still so fixated on her? She's been by Lu Yuchen's side for the past two years; they might already be together. Do you think you can accept that?"

"Xinxin!"

He coldly interrupted her, "I don't want to hear you say that again. After you're discharged from the hospital, move to the western suburbs. I'll give you living expenses every month. Besides marriage, I'll agree to anything you need."

He spoke these words in a hard and ruthless tone. Soon, he took the baby back from her arms.

Just as Li Siyuan stood up to leave, Han Xin hurriedly called him back.

Is there no chance for reconciliation?

Li Siyuan had his back to her and didn't turn around, only uttering a faint "I'm sorry, Xin Xin."

Then, he left without looking back.

Han Xin watched his departing figure from behind, tears streaming down her face.

Li Siyuan's figure gradually receded into the distance, disappearing from her clear gaze.

Because she didn't sleep well last night, Shen Xuan only took some documents and left the company at 2 pm today.

After getting into the taxi and giving her the address, she sat down and quietly began to think.

After a while, the car stopped in front of the gate of Shen Family Manor.

The place had been uninhabited for a long time, so it looked rather desolate. After entering, she tidied it up a bit and then settled in.

This house is the only property left to her by her maternal grandfather. Fortunately, the ownership of the house belongs to her and not her father, Shen Zhentao, otherwise it might have been sold long ago.
