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

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Xie family building.

As the largest enterprise in China, the Jie Group has branches all over the world.

Headquartered in Kyoto, it is listed in Country A.

Its location is even more advantageous, situated in the very heart of the city. The towering detached building, with its all-glass exterior, gleams slowly in the sunlight, symbolizing status and unapproachability.

This wasn't Yan Xuxu's first time here.

But this was the first time she was qualified to step into this place.

After all, she had been turned away when they tried to collaborate before, and hadn't even touched a single brick or tile of their property.

Perhaps Xie Lanyuan had given prior notice, because her entry went very smoothly this time, and no one stopped her.

The security guards were even more respectful to her, nodding and gesturing to her.

The receptionist even came over to greet me personally, asking, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Yan?"

Yan Xuxu nodded, "Yes."

The receptionist gestured for her to come in, a gentle smile on her face. "Ms. Yan, please follow me. Mr. Xie is on the sixty-sixth floor."

Because it was a VIP elevator, no one was going in or out, so the journey was smooth and we quickly reached the top floor.

As soon as Yan Xuxu stepped out of the elevator, she saw Mu Nan waiting outside, who personally led her to the president's office.

"Mr. Xie is inside. You can go straight in."

After saying that, Mu Nan left first because she had something to do.

Yan Xuxu saw that the door was ajar, so she knocked twice before pushing it open and going inside.

Xie Lanyuan's office is very large, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the city skyline.

Sunlight streamed in, falling on the leather office chair, where documents and a fountain pen were neatly arranged.

Two rows of bookshelves are placed against the wall on the left, displaying all kinds of books.

Besides that, there's a sofa and coffee table in the rest area.

The entire office was clean and simple, without excessive decoration.

Yan Xuxu looked around but couldn't find Jie Lanyuan, which she found strange.

Just now, Mu Nan said he was inside, but where is he?

Just as I was about to call him, a gust of wind blew in through the open window, knocking the documents off the table.

It landed right at her feet.

Yan Xuxu bent down and picked it up.

Just as I was about to put the document back on my desk, I noticed a decorative item resembling a woman's body lying under one of the documents.

It felt vaguely familiar.

Out of curiosity, she was about to take it out to take a look.

Just then, the sound of a man making a phone call came from behind.

Her fingertips paused, and she turned to look over.

Only Jie Lanyuan walked out of the lounge, still holding his phone in his hand.

Seeing her standing in front of the desk, the man's expression showed a moment of surprise, then turned cold. "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"

After saying that, he quickly went to his desk, sat down, and took a document to cover up the half-exposed object.

Yan Xuxu guessed that he was wary of her, so she wisely took a step back. "I knocked, but you didn't respond, so I came in by myself."

Jie Lanyuan narrowed his eyes but didn't say anything.

Yan Xuxu didn't want to waste too much time with him, so she handed him the progress report and got straight to the point, "This is the research progress of Ming'an Group's new technology. Please take a look."

"Just report it directly."

He didn't answer, his tall figure leaning back in his seat, his gaze cold and sharp.

Yan Xuxu didn't know what she had done to offend him, because she ran into his Bao Gong-like face as soon as she arrived.

"OK."

She voluntarily retrieved the progress chart and gave a verbal report.

Finally, he gently tapped the table and asked in a calm voice, "And you, how far along are you in your research? Can you finish it ahead of everyone else?"

Yan Xuxu replied professionally, "This is my research. What does Mr. Xie think?"

The man was clearly dissatisfied with the answer. "The specific time."

She couldn't give a definite answer before.

But after talking with those research experts last night, some of my stuck thoughts became much clearer.

"I will do it as soon as possible."

Jie Lanyuan fell silent again.

Yan Xuxu thought she had gotten away with it, and said politely, "My work report is finished. If there's nothing else, I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Xie. I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she turned to leave the office.

"Wait a moment."

Xie Lanyuan called out to her and stood up from his seat.

Yan Xuxu turned around and said coldly, "Is there anything else, Mr. Xie?"

"I long to see you."

Yan Xuxu was taken aback.

But soon, she regained her indifference, saying, "I'm only responsible for her medical condition. If she misses her mother, Mr. Xie can contact Ms. Lin."

Jie Siyu is extremely lacking in maternal love.

Once someone treats her well, she will naturally develop feelings for them.

Yan Xuxu definitely feels sorry for this child.

But that doesn't mean she can unconditionally agree to any of Xie Lanyuan's requests because of this.

"She refuses to take her medicine."

Just as I finished speaking, the phone on the table rang again.

Yan Xuxu clearly saw that it was a call from the doctor.

It seems that the phone call Xie Lanyuan just received was also about Xie Siyu.

Xie Lanyuan didn't answer, but rubbed his temples and said, "Last night, only you could coax her, and she specifically asked to see you."

Yan Xuxu kept telling herself this.

Compassion does not mean unconditional sacrifice.

She has more important things to do.

You absolutely cannot be soft-hearted.

Since Xie Lanyuan didn't answer the phone for a long time, the other party called Mu Nan instead.

Mu Nan rushed in from outside, "Mr. Xie, the doctor called and said that if Miss doesn't take her medicine soon, it will delay the treatment."

Jie Lanyuan looked at Yan Xuxu, "Now that the patient is experiencing problems, shouldn't this fall under Miss Yan's purview?"

"Please."

The two words conveyed an undeniable coldness and hardness.

Yan Xuxu ultimately couldn't resist her duty and left with him.

Once in the car, Mu Nan started the accelerator and drove towards Yunyue Villa.

After getting on the bus, Jie Lanyuan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

He must not have slept well last night; his handsome face showed signs of fatigue.

Yan Xuxu didn't want to talk to him either, and turned to look out the window.

Just when everyone thought they could walk to their destination in silence, the man's cool, deep voice suddenly rang out, "What did you hear last night?"

Yan Xuxu suddenly remembered what Xie Lanyuan had said last night, and her heart tightened.

It must have been mentioning Miss Lin earlier that aroused his suspicion.

She didn't hide anything and readily admitted, "It's nothing. I heard your mother say that Sisi needs her mother."

Xie Lanyuan didn't say anything more.

The entire carriage was eerily quiet.

When Yan Xuxu turned to look at him again, he still had his eyes closed, as if he had just said it unintentionally.

She laughed to herself.

Even if she admits she heard everything, so what?

He was just an insignificant person.

He wouldn't take it to heart.

The medicine Xie Siyu is currently taking was prescribed by Yan Xuxu.

Traditional Chinese medicine has few side effects, but it tastes bitter, making it difficult for even adults to swallow, let alone a child.

When Yan Xuxu arrived, just like last night, there were two doctors, a nanny, and a group of people surrounding the ward, coaxing Xie Siyu to take her medicine.

But the child stubbornly covered his mouth and refused to drink.

Upon seeing Yan Xuxu appear, Xie Siyu's tense face instantly broke into a smile.

"Aunt Xuxu, you're here!"
