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

Shen Xuan opened the car door and briefly inquired about Shen Feiyan.

She was somewhat relieved to hear that he had gone abroad shortly after returning to China.

The car was quiet the whole way. Guan Chengxin glanced at her from time to time, and finally asked, "Miss, is this sudden trip abroad because of that person?"

Even he could see it, so Shen Xuan certainly knew that the news had probably already spread.

She gently pressed her hand to her forehead and nodded emphatically.

Having experienced what happened before, she became even more cautious about the treacherous situation within the Lu family, unsure of what impact her departure would have on them.

After resting at home for a day, she immediately threw herself into her work.

In the following days, Cheng Lu's studio encountered trouble, which caused her to be in a bad mood and unable to concentrate on her work.

In recent months, Yan Anxun's attitude towards Cheng Lu has become even worse because he feels that a woman like Cheng Lu has rejected his advances.

He used to be confident that he could win the heart of any woman, but this time he was humiliated in public and lost all face.

Of all the women he had met, he had long since grown tired of those mediocre ones.

Cheng Lu, a woman of strong character, was the first he had ever encountered, and she became the target he most wanted to conquer.

When this longing crosses the last line of defense in one's heart, it will inevitably shake the original belief. He will try to force the other party to stand in front of him again and submit to him through various setbacks.

But how could Cheng Lu, with her strong personality, easily submit to him?

Shen Xuan held a pen, staring intently at a document on the table.

Guan Chengxin stood there watching her intently, waiting for her to finish processing the last few documents.

However, when he looked at her, a hint of indescribable emotion seemed to flash in his deep eyes.

Shen Xuan broke the silence: "I need ten million now. Is there any way you can help me find a way?"

Guan Chengxin blinked, his gaze fixed on the focused face in front of the desk, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

“Miss, don’t forget that you already borrowed six million from the Shen family last time. We can’t get that much money right away.”

Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly becoming tense. He weighed the fact that almost all of the funds he had invested had gone down the drain, and it would indeed be very risky to withdraw such a large sum of money from the company now.

"So, how much money can the Shen family raise?" she asked after thinking for a while.

"There's really not much left, Miss. The Shen family also needs to maintain normal operations. You should think about the company's future."

Guan Chengxin answered respectfully from the side.

Shen Xuan could naturally sense his worry.

She also understood that Guan Chengxin's concerns were understandable if she didn't want the Shen family to repeat the same mistakes.

"That's settled then. Postpone all my plans for this afternoon. I'm going out to take care of some errands. If nothing else, then it's settled!"

As she spoke, she signed her name on the contract and then handed him the entire folder.

Guan Chengxin calmly accepted it without saying anything more.

For her, nothing is more important than her best friend.

If it weren't to prove her innocence, he might have thought she had fallen for Cheng Lu.

That afternoon, Li Siyuan was reviewing reports in his office while Jiang Yu assisted him in planning a new scheme.

They were discussing an office building project located in the West End area.

Coincidentally, this place is right next to the building where Cheng Lu works.

During the conversation, it was mentioned that the area surrounding that office building included the location of Cheng Lu's studio.

Hearing this, he frowned, stared at the table in deep thought for a long time, and then asked, "How has she been lately?"

Just as Jiang Yu was explaining the development plan, he was suddenly confronted with Li Siyuan's question and didn't react for a moment.

"Who are you asking about? Sir, you're referring to..."

Jiang Yu stood frozen in place, holding a pen in one hand and a project proposal in the other.

But Li Siyuan didn't seem to notice this. He just looked down and flipped through the documents, his eyes quickly scanning the text on the page before speaking again: "You know who I'm asking."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu immediately understood, "Oh, so you're talking about Miss Shen."

Upon hearing the name, Li Siyuan looked up at the other person. Although he did not answer directly, it was tantamount to acknowledging it.

Noticing this detail, Jiang Yu deliberately raised his voice to reply, "Miss Shen has been in good spirits lately. Every time I see her, she looks radiant, especially after she came back from this trip; she seems even more energetic."

"Cheng Lu's studio is in trouble. Doesn't she feel sad?"

Li Siyuan remained silent with his head down, then asked another question.

Since that incident, he seems to have given up his previous relentless pursuit of her.

This sudden change left Jiang Yu somewhat puzzled. Had the young master, who always held himself in such high regard, been replaced?

Jiang Yu adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and replied knowingly, "Miss Shen does want to help Miss Cheng, but unfortunately the Shen family simply can't afford to provide more funding for her company."

After listening, he paused for a moment before asking, "So what's the current situation with Cheng Lu's studio?"

Jiang Yu stood there holding a stack of documents, sighing repeatedly, "Oh dear, Young Master Yan is truly ruthless. If he can't have it, he'll destroy it. A perfectly good company was ruined, almost going bankrupt. It's so tragic, so cruel..."

He lowered his head and his eyes met Li Siyuan's. Realizing that his words might have touched a nerve, he immediately fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Li Siyuan suddenly recalled what he had done to Shen Xuan in the past, driven by the same mentality: wanting to destroy what he couldn't have. Looking back now, he felt he was worse than an animal.

Although the entertainment industry is not Li Siyuan's main focus, he is a leader in many other industries. The Li family is involved in many industries, but they have never been involved in the entertainment industry.

However, when it comes to someone who can manipulate events in the entertainment industry, Yan Anxun is undoubtedly the one.

Dealing with a small studio would be a piece of cake for him.

"Prepare 20 million and invest it in Cheng Lu's studio under the Shen family's name. Also, pass on a message to Yan Anxun, telling him to stop making things difficult for Cheng Lu."

"Sir, this... doesn't seem quite right..."

He originally wanted to say that this matter was ultimately between Yan Anxun and Cheng Lu, and it just felt wrong to get involved.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Siyuan interrupted him, saying in a calm tone, "We are doing this for the sake of Xicheng's development. Since she is starting a business in our jurisdiction, providing assistance will benefit her and also have a positive effect on our development of Xicheng."
