When Zhao Cheng came to pick Shi Xiao up, Yuan Shu was stretching in the garden, where there was a gardenia tree blooming with white and flawless gardenias this season. Yuan Shu was wearing a refreshing outfit as she stood under the tree and was as dazzling as the white flowers blooming on the branches.

Zhao Cheng was mesmerized for a moment. When he regained his senses, he punched himself before he hurriedly walked into the house.

He walked up to Shi Xiao and asked hesitantly, “Young Master, everything has been arranged. Do we really have to bring Young Madam to the pany?”

Shi Xiao’s eyes were filled with playfulness as he said, “If we don’t release the rabbit, how can the eagle bear to dive down?”

Zhao Cheng said, “Young Master, 1 heard about Young Madam from my sister last night. 1 don’t think Young Madam is someone planted by the Jiang family.”

Feeling conflicted, Shi Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, “There are too many coincidences about her.”

For example, the chance encounter in No Man’s Land, the glass of Sky City, and the fact that Yuan Shu’s alcohol concentration wasn’t high. There was no way to explain all of this.

Yuan Shu had indeed helped Shi Xiao protect Yuan An for a short period of time, but it was also possible that she was just putting on a show to make everyone trust her.

Even the public began to praise Yuan Shu for her petence.

However, this might also be her scheme. After all, Yuan Shu had not really touched the core of the Shi family and had never been to the pany. Perhaps she had an ulterior motive?

The public opinion was on Yuan Shu’s side, so Shi Xiao couldn’t divorce Yuan Shu so easily. Otherwise, it would definitely affect the Shi Corporation’s share price.

Actually, what made Shi Xiao the most suspicious was that Yuan Shu’s personality had suddenly changed and the unfamiliar gaze Yuan Shu gave him last night in the No Man’s Land. This wasn’t the gaze of someone who had fallen in love with him at first sight and racked her brains to obtain him.

After Yuan Shu walked through the long corridor and into the living room, she took the dry towel that Wu Yan handed her and wiped the sweat off her neck. Then, she hung the white towel around her neck and glanced at Zhao Cheng and Shi Xiao as she said calmly, “We’ll leave after 1 go upstairs and tidy up.”

Shi Xiao nodded slightly and made an expression that said, “Go ahead.”

They thought that they would have to wait for at least an hour, since Yuan Shu had to put on makeup and change her clothes. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu came downstairs in 15 minutes.

She was wearing simple white T-shirt jeans and a light pink suit jacket. Her face was fair and fresh, and it was obvious that she was bare-faced. Her hairstyle had changed from a high ponytail to a low ponytail, and she didn’t have any accessories on her.

Zhao Cheng looked at Yuan Shu in shock. Was this still the Young Madam he knew? She was actually going out without makeup? Usually, she wore heavy makeup without any taste whatsoever. Now, she had pletely changed!

“Let’s go.” With that, Yuan Shu changed into a pair of white leather shoes and left.

After getting into the car, she didn’t say a word or ask anything, but her reaction was within Shi Xiao’s expectations. Shi Xiao had already pletely figured out Yuan Shu’s current way of doing things. She was the plete opposite of her previous persona.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, had her own plans. According to the plot of the original book, after Shi Xiao returned from Africa, she brought a woman, Lin Xi, to Yuan Shu, in order to divorce her.

Then Shi Xiao’s purpose for today’s trip was probably to bring Yuan Shu to see Lin Xi.

This was exactly what Yuan Shu wanted. She had specifically asked Liu Lan about the divorce laws before and knew that it was best for her to take the initiative.

As long as Lin Xi appeared, Yuan Shu would definitely divorce him first and obtain her legal rights before leaving the Shi family.

After leaving the Shi family, Yuan Shu would have more freedom to do what she wanted to do. She would focus on her own business and expand Yushu Buyi. This was the sense of acplishment that Yuan Shu wanted. She wouldn’t be trapped in this mansion and waste her time having catfights with other women..
