After returning home with the child, her ex-husband knelt down and gently coaxed her.

Auten Group, President's Office.

"President Lu."

Jiang Yao pushed open the door and entered, looking troubled. "The chairman called the president's office, asking why he couldn't get through to you."

Lu Xiyan flipped through the documents on the table without looking up. "What is it?"

Jiang Yao thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be asking if all the contracts given to you have been signed."

Jiang Yao didn't know what kind of contract it was, but the chairman asked that question in a rather serious tone, so that was the only answer he could give.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiyan couldn't help but frown slightly.

Those investment transfer contracts were delivered to Yuhe Mansion by Jixiu yesterday, so why is the old man asking about them so urgently today?

It's just changing assets, nothing serious.

"I'm busy."

Jiang Yao dismissed him with just the name Lu Xiyan.

Jiang Yao was in a dilemma. How could he truthfully report these two words to the chairman?

I had just stepped out of my office when the phone in the president's office rang again.

This time, Jiang Yao went straight into the office with the phone, looking pitifully at Lu Xiyan, "President Lu, it's the chairman on the phone."

Lu Xiyan stopped what he was doing, stared at the phone that was on a call for two seconds, and then reached out to take it.

"grandfather."

Lu Lixiao's voice came through the phone, "west Yan, are you busy?"

"Hmm," Lu Xiyan replied calmly. "Is there something you need, Grandpa?"

"It's nothing," Lu Lixiao asked gently. "Did you look at the documents your Uncle Jixiu gave you yesterday? If there are no problems, sign them and we'll transfer these projects your father left you to you as soon as possible."

Lu Xiyan frowned slightly. He had looked at the information and found that they were all rather trivial investment projects. The assets were not large, but the projects were quite complicated.

He felt there was no need to continue investing in some projects and was preparing to withdraw his investment, which is why he did not sign off on them one by one.

"They're just small projects, why are you in such a hurry, Grandpa?"

"Grandpa was afraid you'd forget because you're so busy," Lu Lixiao sighed. "Your father passed away suddenly back then, and he didn't have time to explain many things. He was involved in many projects, and he also participated in many investments, big and small, in your mother's name. Some of these projects were only recently liquidated, so it's better to transfer them to you for management as soon as possible."

Lu Xiyan gave a soft "Mmm," and said, "I understand."

"The lawyers have reviewed everything, and all the projects are fine. You just need to sign them when you have time," Lu Lixiao instructed. "Leave the rest to the legal department."

After explaining all this, Lu Lixiao said softly, "west Yan, come back to the old house and have a meal with Grandpa when you have time. You go ahead and do your work."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiyan tossed it to Jiang Yao, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The old man was never a nagging person, and he would never urge or ask repeatedly about trivial matters.

Jiang Yao didn't know what the grandfather and grandson said on the phone, but seeing the man's bad expression, he quickly slipped out.

The large office was spacious and quiet, with only the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette.

The man pulled open the innermost drawer, his slender fingers brushing over the documents on the top shelf before landing on a dark yellow kraft paper bag at the bottom.

With a gentle pull, the paper bag was taken out of the drawer.

The man's deep gaze fell on the paper bag, his eyes growing even darker.

The white paper was pulled out of the bag, and the first thing that caught the eye was the four large characters "Divorce Agreement".

There are two copies in total. The signature area in the lower left corner of the last copy is blank.

In the bottom right corner, two words were signed: Anning.

Her handwriting is elegant and her strokes are crisp and clean.

The man's fingertips trembled slightly, and the cigarette ash suddenly fell onto the table.

The man's gaze gradually turned cold as he stared at that name.

The last document the old man urged him to sign was this divorce agreement four years ago.

Four years ago, she decisively signed the divorce papers, ruthlessly throwing them in front of him, ending their relationship, and leaving.

He stubbornly refused to give up, constantly telling himself that she would come back, that she would come back in a few days, that she would regret it in a few days, that she definitely would.

He even stubbornly believed that their marriage would still exist as long as he didn't sign the papers.

At that time, Lu Lixiao pointed his finger at him and cursed, "Lu Xiyan, look at yourself! The second young master of the prestigious Lu Group, my own grandson, has actually ruined himself like this because of a woman! You're not ashamed, but I am!"

He threw the two signed agreements in front of Lu Xiyan, furious, "She's already taken the money and left, how long are you going to be so stubborn? Sign this, and your marriage is null and void!"

Later, Lu Lixiao told him, "west Yan, whether you sign or not, your marriage is over. An Ning has already signed; she voluntarily gave up the marriage, and the lawyer is already processing your divorce. You will have no legal relationship with her anymore."

The cigarette burned down to the end, and a strong burning sensation came from my fingertips.

Lu Xiyan's fingertips trembled as he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.

His gaze fell on the signature, and he curled his lips into a slight sneer.

For four whole years, he didn't dare to take out the divorce agreement to sign, but she could sign her name with ease, putting an end to their two-year marriage without hesitation.

There was another knock at the door. Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment before speaking, "President Lu..."

Lu Xiyan's expression was cold as he stuffed the divorce agreement back into the paper bag and then threw it into the drawer.

He glanced up at the doorway, his eyes cold and clear. "What is it now?"

"Mr. Lu, the receptionist called and said that Ms. An is here again and wants to see you if you have time."

Just as Jiang Yao finished speaking, he heard the man say coldly, "I won't see you."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the man's voice again, "Assistant Jiang, you don't need to come and report on this kind of thing in the future."

His cold gaze swept over Jiang Yao. "Isn't my meaning quite clear?"

"Yes, yes!"

Jiang Yao immediately realized that President Lu was really prepared to never see Miss An again? Was he really not going to consider cooperating with Haowei anymore?

......

In the study of the Lu family manor, Ji Xiu handed over a cup of tea. "Chairman, the second young master has always been quite serious and cautious. Please don't worry, he will probably sign it in a couple of days."

"This document requires his personal signature; without it, it's not valid. No wonder I'm anxious." Lu Lixiao frowned. "Ji Xiu, do you think Xi Yan might discover anything?"

"No, that won't happen," Ji Xiu said. "The contracts that need to be signed this time were all prepared by the legal department. The second young master won't notice anything. As long as he signs, this matter can be handled immediately."

Lu Lixiao looked at the desk, where there was a sticky note with an address written on it.

Judging from the color of the paper and the degree of ink bleeding, it looks like it's been several years.

"west Yan and Wan Wan are getting engaged soon and will be getting married soon. We must resolve this matter before the wedding." He sighed. "We can't hide it forever. This matter can't be delayed any longer."
