Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Yan Zhengmin was greatly alarmed.

When did Yan Xuxu climb up the mountain that is Jie Lanyuan?

He turned to Shen Mingzhou for help.

Shen Mingzhou was too anxious, which is why he went to help Su Wanqing. Now he is only thinking about how to explain to Yan Xuxu, and he doesn't care about the Yan family anymore.

Su Wanqing couldn't speak up for the Yan family either.

Once she opened her mouth, it confirmed her relationship with Shen Mingzhou.

Isolated and helpless, Yan Zhengmin slunk away with his wife and daughter before being thrown out by the bodyguards.

As soon as they left, Shen Mingzhou came to Yan Xuxu and bent down to help her up.

He deliberately lowered his voice, "Wife, I'm sorry. Wanqing was closest to me just now, and I panicked, so I helped the wrong person..."

"Whether you helped the wrong person or had ulterior motives, you know the answer in your heart."

Yan Xuxu coldly slapped his hand away and stood up on her own, enduring the pain.

That was quite a forceful blow; Shen Mingzhou's hand was bright red.

He stood frozen in place for a long time, realizing he had really angered her this time. He hurriedly explained, "Even if I had ulterior motives, it was only for you. It was really a misunderstanding just now. Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

For her?

If you tell too many lies, even you might not know which ones are true and which ones are just empty words.

Yan Xuxu knew that now was not the time to pursue this matter, but she just couldn't swallow her anger.

"What happened just now might have been an accident, but how do you explain the fact that you were chatting and laughing with the Yan family?"

Shen Mingzhou was clearly guilty, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye. "It just so happened that we ran into each other here. I thought they were your family members, so I greeted them out of politeness. If you don't like me interacting with them, I promise I'll avoid them in the future."

Your family?

The night her mother passed away, she was emotionally devastated and stormed into the Yan family home, causing a huge scene.

She also publicly severed her father-daughter relationship with Yan Zhengmin.

Shen Mingzhou was also present at the time.

Over the years, she has never had any contact with the Yan family.

He knew perfectly well that she hated the Yan family.

But he still used his status as a "family member" to brush her off!

Just to cover up his ugly scam!

"Xuxu, it's all my fault. If I had pulled you away faster, you wouldn't have fallen."

Su Wanqing came over to apologize hypocritically, her eyes red-rimmed, looking like she was genuinely repenting. "But you have to believe me, there's really nothing between me and President Shen. Don't let this ruin your relationship or affect ours."

Yan Xuxu didn't want to look at those two hypocritical faces anymore, and said coldly, "I'm going to the restroom to clean up."

After saying that, she turned and left, despite the pain in her body.

Mu Nan followed, saying with some concern, "Miss Yan, why don't you go to your room on the second floor and rest for a while? I'll bring you a new dress."

Yan Xuxu knew better than anyone that Mu Nan's timely appearance was arranged by Jie Lanyuan.

She knew that the man was standing in the crowd, watching her humiliation with a condescending gaze.

I watched her fall and get her head bleeding again and again.

When she was helpless and desperate, he generously came to her rescue.

He must be very proud of himself, right?

After all, the Shen family's adopted son, who was once looked down upon, is now the unapproachable Crown Prince of Kyoto.

Everyone was scrambling to curry favor with him.

He stood at the pinnacle of power and wealth, looking down on everyone as if they were clowns.

And she.

He's just one of these clowns.

He only received her "protection" out of great compassion because he needed to use her medical books and research to save his daughter.

Seeing that she was limping, Mu Nan was about to help her when she heard her say, "I'm fine."

Clearly wanting to prove she was really alright, she quickened her pace considerably.

Mu Nan didn't want to follow any further, so she turned around and went to find Xie Lanyuan.

The moment they arrived, they heard the man's cold voice: "When did I say those things?"

Knowing he had overheard, Mu Nan shuddered violently, feeling incredibly guilty. "Miss Yan is your guest. To bully her is to disrespect you, wouldn't you agree?"

Jie Lanyuan's cold gaze shot towards him, "You've grown quite capable, now you even know how to teach me how to do things."

"Mr. Jie, I dare not."

Mu Nan lowered her head, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

"What are you afraid of now? From this moment on, get out there and stand at the front desk."

"General Manager Jie..."

Just as Mu Nan was about to speak in her defense, the man coldly tossed out a sentence, "Find a doctor to take a look at her. If she's fine, tell her to come down and find me."

*

Not long after Yan Xuxu arrived at her room on the second floor, Mu Nan knocked on the door and entered with a female doctor.

That fall was quite serious, but thankfully no bones were broken, just a lot of bruising.

The female doctor rubbed the area with ointment, which relieved the pain considerably.

"It's nothing serious. Just rub this ointment on it a few times when you get home, and the bruise will fade away in a few days."

Yan Xuxu said thank you in a low voice.

After the female doctor left, Mu Nan brought over a familiar gift box. "Ms. Yan, please change into this outfit. Mr. Xie is waiting for you downstairs."

Yan Xuxu glanced at it casually and found that the packaging was exactly the same as the dress that was delivered at noon.

"No need, I can still wear this outfit after some repairs."

Her smile was extremely cold, with a very slight curve, but her eyes couldn't hide her self-mockery.

Mu Nan maintained a polite expression and said, "President Xie will be taking you to meet some important people later. You should change into this outfit."

The meaning is clear.

She needs to change these clothes.

After Mu Nan finished speaking, she placed the dress on the bed, turned around and walked out of the room, closing the door behind her.

Yan Xuxu stared at the box for a long time before reaching out and opening it.

Inside was a burgundy, diamond-encrusted evening gown, made of very soft fabric; it was clearly not something that could be bought for a few million.

There was also a set of jewelry next to it.

Although she had no knowledge of jewelry, she could tell at a glance that it was made by a top jewelry master and was a limited edition luxury item.

It seems she's about to meet some very important people.

Xie Lanyuan valued it highly.

She eventually changed into the evening gown, only to find that it fit her perfectly, as if it had been tailor-made for her.

Compared to her off-white dress, this one accentuated her figure beautifully; the design appeared heavy, but it felt very light and airy when worn.

The chest area features a cutout design, but because it is adorned with diamonds, it is not revealing at all, instead creating a unique charm.

have to say.

Xie Lanyuan has good judgment.

The phone rang at that moment.

Yan Xuxu picked it up and glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from Shen Mingzhou.

Honey, where are you? I can't find you anywhere. Are you alright?

Yan Xuxu looked at the words and a coldness rose in her eyes.

Losing one's sense of proportion before trying to salvage the situation is truly his consistent style of doing things.

She didn't reply, turned off her phone, and put it in her handbag.

As I stood up to go downstairs, I still felt a slight stinging pain in my hip bone, but it was much better than before.

Mu Nan did not actually leave.

As soon as Yan Xuxu came out, she saw him standing at the top of the stairs waiting for her. He stepped forward and greeted her with the same respectful attitude, "Miss Yan, please come with me."

Yan Xuxu followed him downstairs, and they bypassed the banquet hall and exited through the VIP passage to the entrance of a high-class conference room.

Jie Lanyuan is inside.

Sitting opposite him were three or four middle-aged men dressed in suits and wearing glasses.

Mu Nan knocked twice on the door and said, "Mr. Xie, Miss Yan has arrived."

"Um."

He responded calmly.

Mu Nan opened the door for Yan Xuxu and gestured for her to enter. Yan Xuxu went in and came to Xie Lanyuan's side.

Jie Lanyuan glanced at her, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes. "To be honest, your husband's taste isn't very good."
