He had guessed that it was He Xing's counterattack.

But a researcher shouldn't have that much power to compete with Ming'an Group.

This patent competition was filed in Su Wanqing's name.

Now that a problem has arisen, how could Su Wanqing not be anxious? "Even if we figure it out, it's useless. He Xing has already published a paper."

She had also read the paper.

The experiment has been successful.

Now we await peer verification.

Their continued application process constitutes an infringement on their rights.

Shen Mingzhou naturally knew this would be the outcome, which is why he came to Su Wanqing to discuss countermeasures. "Now the only option is to negotiate a settlement with Hexing."

"Nobody knows who He Xing is, how do we find him?"

Concerned about her own interests, Su Wanqing was very anxious. "Even if we find it, He Xing won't give in."

If we concede, Hexing's reputation will be damaged, and it will be completely ruined.

"Let me think of another way." Shen Mingzhou made another phone call.

This is a new project that Ming'an Group has worked hard to develop.

We must take it no matter what.

If we lose the patent race.

Ming'an Group has been accused of plagiarism and infringement.

Don't even mention that the collaboration with the Xie family has fallen through.

Even companies will be severely impacted.

Yan Xuxu also received the news immediately.

Shen Mingzhou's application was rejected!

"There's definitely someone helping us behind the scenes, but who is it?"

After Lin Huan finished speaking, she boldly guessed, "Do you think it could be Xie Lanyuan?"

"impossible."

Yan Xuxu directly denied it, saying, "He's not that kind."

If it weren't for Xie Lanyuan, Lin Huan really wouldn't have guessed who it was.

"A friend called, they must have found some clues. I'll hang up now and contact you later." With that, Lin Huan hung up the phone.

Yan Xuxu put her phone away and got out of the car. Before she even entered her house, she heard a dog barking.

She rubbed her temples.

This ice cream really has a catchy name!

Once inside, she said gently to the ice cream, "Shh, I'm your owner. Don't call me that anymore."

As if it understood her words, the ice cream quickly stopped making noise.

Yan Xuxu smiled. "Good girl, I'll give you something delicious."

She fed Xuegao some dog food and talked to it for a while.

Just as I was about to change my clothes, the dog, which had calmed down, started barking incessantly again.

Yan Xuxu frowned and said sternly, "Xuegao, stop yelling! Be good!"

"Woof woof woof!"

The ice cream was still beeping, and it was getting louder and louder.

Yan Xuxu was a little annoyed; this barking dog could be used to guard the house.

But such loud noises become a nuisance.

She tried to soothe the ice cream and calm it down.

As she bent over, her back suddenly pressed against a warm wall, and strong arms wrapped around her.

"Only one, no other woman, never."

Jie Lanyuan rested his chin on her shoulder, inhaling her alluring scent with fascination.

His deep voice was seductive, so gentle it was almost maddening.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Xuxu realized that Xuegao hadn't been calling out to her, but rather that a thief had broken into her house.

But she changed the access control password.

How did he crack it so quickly?

The sound of ice cream pulled her back to reality. She pushed Xie Lanyuan away forcefully and said angrily, "I can call the police for what you're doing."

The man remained unmoved and calmly continued to approach, saying, "I've investigated that matter thoroughly. The woman you're talking about is my mother."

"She booked a restaurant and a cake to meet me that day, and that's when I realized it was my birthday."

Yan Xuxu was stunned.

The woman was dressed too young and fashionable, and because of the rain and the distance, she couldn't see the woman's face clearly.

Unexpectedly, it was Xie Lanyuan's mother!

Because of this woman's existence, she was heartbroken, drank herself into a stupor, and ruined herself.

As he drew closer, Xie Lanyuan reached out and embraced her, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Zhizhi, I have never been with any other woman. You can believe me."

Yan Xuxu was pinned to the waist and unable to move, her heart filled with bitterness. "I sent you a message back then, why didn't you reply?"

"What information?"

When Jie Lanyuan recounted what happened that day, she said, "When my mother contacted me, I was in a hurry to leave and left my phone at home."

Therefore, he did not see her message.

She didn't know she had waited for him for three hours.

At that moment, Yan Xuxu felt like a joke.

He knows nothing!

During that period, she was torturing herself!

Xie Lanyuan felt her trembling and hugged her even tighter. "What did you send me?"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Yan Xuxu regained her composure, a layer of frost settling in her eyes, her voice icy and distant, "You can leave."

"Zhizhi, I've already explained, it's all a misunderstanding..."

He desperately wanted to explain, but Yan Xuxu wouldn't give him the chance. "Even if it's a misunderstanding, it's all in the past now. Jie Lanyuan, you already have a fiancée."

She didn't struggle, but the sense of powerlessness emanating from her body and mind still panicked Jie Lanyuan. "I will handle her. You divorce Shen Mingzhou, come back to me, and we'll start over."

restart……

is it possible?

Yan Xuxu closed her eyes, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and said resolutely, "I will not divorce him."

Because there's no need for a divorce.

"He's been cheating on you for a long time. He moved into your house with his mistress and even used your research to pave the way for her. Don't you care?"

"Yes."

"Yan Xuxu!"

Jie Lanyuan's furious voice exploded in my ears, his heavy breathing like that of a wild beast out of control, "You're just wallowing in self-pity!"

"Now that you know, why bother waking someone who doesn't want to wake up?"

Yan Xuxu pretended to be hopeless and chuckled, "Go find your Miss Lin."

Jie Lanyuan couldn't stand her so devoted to Shen Mingzhou, so he wanted to teach her a lesson.

He kissed her recklessly, his voice hoarse, "I'll make you come to your senses."

A dull pain shot through my neck, as if a chunk of flesh had been bitten off.

Yan Xuxu cried out in pain.

Before they could even struggle, their breath was violently taken away.

She felt as if she were deep in the middle of the sea, with wave after wave crashing against her.

She tried to scream for help, but was thrown back into the sea the next second.

Yet the physical sensations were so clear, as if one were being slowly tortured.

Soon, she completely went limp in his arms.

He chuckled softly, his fingertips brushing off the silk scarf around her neck.

The silky fabric fell to the ground.

The traces that have not yet faded are visible on the surface.

Jie Lanyuan's bloodthirsty eyes became even more sinister and profound.

"Are you awake now?"

His large hand brushed across the corner of her eye, wiping away the tears.

Yan Xuxu's face flushed red with anger, tears welling in her eyes. She bit her lip, looking fierce yet with a touch of coquettishness.

It's incredibly alluring without being overtly seductive.

He let out a low chuckle, and with his large hand, easily hooked off the top two buttons of her shirt.
