Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 32 Autumn Crane Island

Nan Xu and Lin Zhengyu were busy all day, and they had finalized the appointments for some of the company's staff.

The company is not yet on the right track, so Lin Zhengyu is not in a hurry to sign people. He wants to wait until everything is on the right track before considering signing people.

It was getting dark, and Nanxu drove home alone.

Nan Xu opened the door wearily, then slumped weakly onto the sofa and took a deep breath.

She's never had a job and doesn't know the pain of sitting in an office for four or five hours.

She had been sitting all morning and into the afternoon, and she was really exhausted.

Lu Zhiyan pushed open the door and saw Nan Xu lying on the sofa.

He placed his suit jacket on the sofa armrest and said, "What's wrong? Are you tired?" as he poured Nanxu a glass of water.

Nan Xu nodded somewhat numbly. "Yeah. I've been sitting here all day." She then took a sip of water.

Lu Zhiyan sat down next to Nan Xu and massaged her shoulders.

Uncle Ji walked into the living room. "Young Master, Miss Nan, dinner is ready."

Although they developed a closer relationship, they were neither engaged nor married.

Therefore, everyone in the villa called Nan Xu "Miss Nan".

They understood each other's identities without becoming too distant.

Nanxu was busy with interviews today, so she and Lin Zhengyu just had a quick bite at noon.

It's already past 7 p.m., and she's been hungry for a long time.

He put the glass on the table, walked quickly to the dining room, and saw that Lu Zhiyan was still sitting in the same seat.

She asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Zhiyan watched as Nan Xu stood up, loosened her tie, and unbuttoned two buttons. "Eat."

Nan Xu didn't say anything more; she was about to reach her limit.

Dinner was light: stir-fried asparagus with shrimp, stuffed okra, stir-fried cabbage, and white fungus soup.

Nanxu sat at the dining table, eating her meal in small bites despite being very hungry.

Lu Zhiyan served Nan Xu a bowl of soup. "After you finish eating, would you like Xiao Chen to give you a massage?"

Nan Xu was focused on eating and didn't say anything, only nodding.

After dinner, Nanxu took a shower and then received a massage from Xiao Chen in the massage room.

While enjoying her massage, she was also thinking about scheduling an audition for Sang Tingwan.

Nan Xu sighed, feeling really tired!
Los Angeles, USA
After having breakfast at the hotel, Lin Jingshu decided to go shopping at the nearby department store.

Lin Jingheng was worried about Lin Jingshu's personal safety, so he hired several bodyguards for her.

Lin Jingshu disliked the bodyguards for being too conspicuous, so she only kept one by her side, while the others were all dressed in plain clothes nearby.

Lin Jingshu walked into a light luxury style silk scarf store.

Nan Xu and Lu Zhiyan's relationship is very stable, and they may put marriage on the agenda after some time.

She took this opportunity to buy a few silk scarves for her future mother-in-law.

Although rumors were circulating that Lu Zhiyan's parents had divorced, she thought that when it was time to meet them, she should put aside their differences and consider the bigger picture.

Although Lin Jingshu was reluctant to part with her daughter, sometimes when emotions run high, she shouldn't continue to interfere.

The child has grown up and is no longer a child, so it's no longer possible to "tie" her to your side.

She probably didn't expect Nanxu to meet someone she fell for so quickly, but when fate brings people together, you shouldn't stop it.

Lin Jingshu saw a French-style silk scarf. The scarf was all white with black ink paintings printed on it, and it was very elegant.

She was about to take it when a man took it first.

The man had his back to Lin Jingshu and was carefully examining the silk scarf in his hand.

Is it a style she likes?
He wasn't sure either, since they hadn't seen each other for over twenty years.

I don't know when they will be able to meet.

Thinking it best to avoid trouble, Lin Jingshu turned around and said to the sales assistant in English, "Please give me an identical scarf."

The man heard the voice and felt it was somewhat familiar, so he turned around curiously.

Lin Jingshu and he locked eyes.

The man's eyes were full of surprise, which surprised Lin Jingshu.

How could it be him?
Lin Jingshu looked at the man in front of her, feeling an unbearable grievance in her heart, but she wouldn't tell him a single word.

Coffee shop next to the mall

Lin Jingshu stirred the coffee in her cup, her expression a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The man's voice was deep and filled with joy, "I never thought I'd see you again."

Lin Jingshu looked up, surprised to find that they could still sit here peacefully with him, quietly drinking coffee.

Looking back on those days, she still laughs at herself for being like that back then.

Lin Jingshu just quietly looked at the man in front of her.

He was getting old; his face was covered in wrinkles, and he had a lot of gray hair.

Seeing that Lin Jingshu remained silent, the man asked worriedly, "Jingshu, haven't you forgiven me yet?"

He knew that what happened back then was his fault, but so many years have passed, shouldn't he be forgiven?
Lin Jingshu looked at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with tears.

How could she forget? How naive she was back then, how ridiculous she seems now when she looks back.

She won't forgive him so easily.

Lin Jingshu silently swallowed back her tears. "Qiu Hezhou, I think I have nothing to say to you."

With that, Lin Jingshu prepared to grab her bag and leave.

Qiu Hezhou's usually calm and collected face showed panic. "Jing Shu, I had no choice in what happened back then."

Lin Jingshu snorted coldly, "Not in control of her own destiny?"

So?

So he can just abandon her and leave her behind?
What's the point of saying you had no choice but to act now, or that you've already admitted your mistake?

Did all the ridicule and disdain she suffered back then offset it all?

She's no longer at an age where she can be easily appeased with a few words.

Lin Jingshu left the coffee shop without any hesitation.

At the hotel, Lin Jingzhu's older brother, Lin Jingze, called.

"I heard from Jingheng that you came to the United States? When will you come to Washington to see us?" Lin Jingze called Lin Jingshu as soon as she arrived at the company.

He had just arrived home when Lin Jingheng sent the text message last night.

Lin Jingheng briefly told Lin Jingze everything about Lin Jingshu.

Lin Jing glanced at the time and saw that it was the same time Lin Jingshu had just gotten off the plane.

He was afraid of disturbing Lin Jingshu's jet lag, so he only called her to say hello when he was at work today.

"How about tomorrow?" Lin Jingshu asked, feigning nonchalance.

Lin Jing had been with her sister for over forty years, so she couldn't possibly miss the odd sound in her voice.

However, he didn't expose it, only thinking that he felt a little uncomfortable because of the divorce from Nanshan.

He had long since forgotten about Qiu Hezhou.

"That would be great. Yuzheng heard you came to America and he's been clamoring to see you."

Lin Yuzheng is the grandson of Lin Jingze.

That's how kids are; they'll be close to whoever treats them well.

Lin Jingshu rarely smiled, but she said, "I miss him too. I'm taking a plane to Washington tomorrow morning."

"Okay, let me know when you come. I still have work to do, so I'll hang up now."

Lin Jing looked at the mountain of documents on the table and took a deep breath.

"Okay." Then he hung up the phone.

Domestically, South

Nanshan and Nanyu stood in the brightly lit study.

These past few days, Nanshan has been busy with the Fenghua project, and it seems like the money invested is just like throwing a pebble into the ocean.

You can't even hear a sound.

Nan Yu stubbornly continued to throw more money in.

Nanshan looked at the meager amount of money left in the accounts.

He turned around and slapped Nan Yu across the face.

Nan Yu's face swelled up instantly.

"What happened? I'm asking you what happened! Where's my money?" Nanshan demanded angrily, his eyes wide open.

Nan Yu stammered and couldn't say anything.

Nanshan's vision went black, and he stumbled back two steps, grabbing the desk for support.

How could he have given birth to such foolish children?

Nanshan's phone suddenly rang, and he frowned as he took it out.

It was the divorce lawyer he had hired; Nanshan frowned deeply.

Nan Yu's situation was already giving him enough headaches.

Hopefully, the lawyer can bring him some good news.

Ideally, Lin Jingshu would remember their past relationship and leave him some savings or property.

Upon answering the phone, the lawyer's voice came through: "Mr. Nan, Ms. Lin is not satisfied with the division of property in the divorce."

Not satisfied? All the properties are already on the list.

What else is she dissatisfied with?
"What is she dissatisfied with?" Nanshan sighed.

"Ms. Lin said that Nan Yu also owns several properties and two plots of land..."

Before she could finish speaking, Nanshan interrupted her, "How did she know all this?"

The lawyer scoffed, "That's outside my scope of responsibility."

Nanshan slammed his phone to the ground.

She really planned everything out.

They've even investigated all of Nan Yu's assets.
