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

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuxu stopped in her tracks.

Then Old Master Shen continued, "The road was paved for him, but this good-for-nothing is too useless. He has been doing research for several years without success, and someone else beat him to it."

"Now that he's been accused of plagiarism, Ming'an Group is going to be ruined in his hands."

The housekeeper, Uncle Zhang, comforted him, "Don't worry, the doctor said you need to rest more now and not lose your temper."

Old Master Shen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, his chest trembling. "How could I not be worried? The news on the internet has caused such a big stir. Not only has the company's reputation been damaged, but the stock has also fallen to the point of being suspended from trading."

"If things continue like this, the company will be doomed."

Uncle Zhang patted his back and said, "In order to encourage the young master to improve, you have deliberately favored Mo Han over the years and arranged for Xu Xu to be by the young master's side. The young master has grown a lot over the years and can stand on his own."

"Please give the young master more time. I'm sure he can handle this matter well."

Grandpa Shen shook his head and sighed heavily. "What I'm most worried about right now is that if things go wrong in the company, Mo Han will take advantage of the situation."

Uncle Zhang said, "No, you've been so good to Mo Han. If he has any conscience, he should repay the Shen family for their adoption over the years, instead of repaying kindness with enmity."

Grandpa Shen was still anxious. "Although he didn't mention going back to the company when he came back this time, I feel like he's a different person."

"This heart is always uneasy, fearing that the wolf we've raised will turn around and bite us, the Shen family."

Yan Xuxu's heart was pounding wildly.

I can't believe what I'm saying I'm hearing.

No wonder.

Back when Shen Mohan was still with the Shen family, he was bullied by Shen Mingzhou or Ying Xuelan, and Old Master Shen was never home.

Even afterwards, these matters were handled in a way that downplayed their importance.

The reason she caught the eye of Old Master Shen was...

It's because of the medical book in her hand!

To Old Master Shen, she and Shen Mohan were merely pawns paving the way for Shen Mingzhou!

Ironically, all these years she had thought that Old Master Shen was kind, righteous, gentle and charitable, but she never expected that he actually had a hypocritical heart deep down.

There's no need to go through this door anymore.

Yan Xuxu turned and left.

After stepping out of the hospital, she contacted Lin Huan, "Huanhuan, issue a statement in my name. I want to make sure that Ming'an Group is truly guilty of plagiarism."

Originally, out of consideration for Old Master Shen, they didn't want to completely destroy the Ming'an Group.

Unexpectedly, she would hear this unbearable truth.

This completely shattered her last shred of attachment to the Shen family.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Xuxu looked up at the sky. Night had fallen, and the city's neon lights were on.

At that moment, her heart felt empty.

After her mother died, she was abandoned by the Yan family.

After marrying Shen Mingzhou, Old Master Shen always favored her, which made her feel warm at times.

She even treated Grandpa Shen like her own grandfather.

The results of it?

From beginning to end.

It's all a scam!

Yan Xuxu laughed self-deprecatingly.

She seems to be...

They have no relatives left.

Two beams of headlights shone from ahead, and a familiar license plate slowly came into view.

Yan Xuxu clearly saw the car stop abruptly, and Shen Mingzhou got out of the car and rushed into the hospital.

She turned around, got into the car, and left.

I drove aimlessly around the city avenue, then parked the car on the side of the road and looked out the window.

The streets are bustling at this time of day.

Three friends gathered together for drinks and meals, chatting and laughing.

Best friends holding hands while shopping.

A couple was walking down the street with their daughter. The child was probably tired and wanted to be carried. The mother bent down to carry the child, but the father, feeling sorry for his wife, picked up the daughter first and put her on his shoulders.

The child waved happily, his little face full of happiness.

Yan Xuxu grew up in an unhappy family.

Yan Zhengmin and his mother had a bad relationship.

Although the two rarely argued, they hardly interacted.

The house is always lifeless and gloomy, with absolutely no family atmosphere.

Yan Zhengmin didn't like her either. No matter how well or poorly she did, whether she bullied others or suffered injustices outside, he always ignored her.

Let alone sitting on his shoulders.

He never even hugged her.

At first, she didn't understand why Yan Zhengmin didn't like her.

It was only when he overheard his mother chatting with him that he learned that Yan Zhengmin liked Chen Xuelan.

However, because the Yan family encountered some trouble and needed help from the maternal grandfather's side, the two families chose to form a marriage alliance.

Yan Xuxu can accept that her parents have no affection for each other.

But she is also Yan Zhengmin's daughter.

She still couldn't understand why he could be so heartless towards her!

"Mom, why is that lady staring at us?"

A childish voice reached her ears, pulling Yan Xuxu back to reality.

She clearly saw the mother looking at her warily, and then she and the child's father quickly took the child and left.

She looked like she was a bad person.

The night breeze was cool, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

Yan Xuxu stepped on the gas and left the street, heading towards her home where she lived alone.

It was twenty minutes later when I got home.

After parking her car and entering her home, she found the lights were on.

What happened?

Did she forget to turn off the lights when she left?

"Woof woof woof..."

As soon as I opened the door, Xuegao's voice came through.

Yan Xuxu bent down, and Xuegao jumped into her arms.

She stroked its soft fur, and only then did her lonely and desolate heart, adrift in the world, feel a touch of warmth.

Fortunately, I have a friend at home.

She wasn't too sad to face the long night alone.

"Go play by yourself first, I'll go get something to eat."

Yan Xuxu quickly put the ice cream down and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

She hadn't paid much attention when she first entered the house, but now she heard a lot of noise coming from the kitchen, accompanied by a fragrant aroma.

Yan Xuxu quickly realized—

There's someone in the kitchen!

A familiar image flashed through her mind, and Yan Xuxu's heartstrings tightened suddenly. She took another step closer.

The living room and kitchen are only a few steps apart.

But with each step, it felt like an eternity, and my heartbeat became increasingly rapid.

Until they stood still at the kitchen doorway.

Yan Xuxu pursed her lips, her gaze falling on the robust figure standing in front of the stove.

A torrent of complex emotions surged forth, instantly overwhelming her reason, threatening to spill over.

At this moment, Xie Lanyuan is preparing dinner.

He was still wearing his pink apron, sleeves rolled up halfway, and men's slippers matching hers. He looked casual and relaxed, yet exuded the aura of a perfect homebody.

A few days ago, she would definitely have been angry.

But at this moment, I feel incredibly warm and comforted.

A wave of warmth flowed into her heart.

It made her gaze both gentle and passionate.

Just then, Jie Lanyuan turned around and saw her standing behind him. She smiled gently, like a husband waiting for his wife to return home, and then put down the spatula and came out.

"Why are you back so late?"

Yan Xuxu wanted to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out. She just shook her head.

Seeing her like this, Jie Lanyuan was puzzled. "Zhizhi, did something happen?"

Her emotions were definitely not right.

Upon closer inspection, her clothes were somewhat disheveled.

Xie Lanyuan was completely panicked.

Just as he was about to hug her, Yan Xuxu suddenly took the initiative to approach him, stood on tiptoe, cupped his face, and kissed him.
