Yan Luoxi originally thought that the most shameless person in this world was Li An. Now she realized, however, that experience brings cunning; there are many who are shamelessly opportunistic!

"You don't need to flatter me. I'm actually far from being a paragon of virtue." Yan Luoxi suddenly raised her head and glared fiercely at Sun Zhijun: "I consider you my senior, as I’m younger than you by several years, so I’ve been restraining myself since the moment we entered this room. However, don’t take advantage of the situation or act shamelessly."

Yan Luoxi’s eyes were brimming with emotion; her heart was beating rapidly in her chest as she interlocked her hands and tightly clenched her fingers: "In my view, you are a foe. During my mother's most splendid years of youth, you claimed to love her, deceived her, and caused the destruction of our family; now that you want to pursue your own happiness, you desire for her pure little flower to bear your children. You wish for my mother to stay far from you, no longer obstructing your path. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog"

Never in his wildest dreams did Sun Zhijun expect the usually docile and well-behaved Yan Luoxi to explode like this; he blinked rapidly, stunned: "You... how can you speak so disrespectfully!"

"Mr. Sun, respect is mutual. Being older does not give you carte blanche to act recklessly and do as you please." Yan Luoxi proactively changed her address: "My mother’s actions are indeed inappropriate, but have you considered how despicable your deeds are I will advise my mother to stop causing a scene at the company, but if you wish to divorce her and fly off with your young lover, that is entirely up to my mother's consent."

"Alright, we'll give her some compensation." Sun Zhijun gritted his teeth.

Yan Luoxi sneered: "Are you very wealthy"

"A rhetorical question. Otherwise, why would your wife refuse to divorce no matter what"

"What else do your eyes see besides money Have you considered that my mother refuses to divorce you because she still cares for you! You believe that money is everything and that it can buy back my mother's youth or my happy childhood Can money restore our family’s harmony If so, I’ll calculate how much compensation you owe my mother."

Yan Luoxi spoke her piece clearly and unambiguously before rising to leave.

Sun Zhijun's face was like a palette, turning red then white, and then pale. He panted heavily.

Yan Luoxi went back to Sun Zhijun’s office alone. When Xue Liping saw that she returned by herself, she got agitated again and cried out: "Where is Sun Zhijun Has he gone to see that little vixen or has he gone to find a lawyer..."

"Mommy, shall we go home first" Yan Luoxi’s eyes were pained as she hugged the somewhat deranged woman to calm her down. "Uncle Sun is rushing off to attend a meeting and said to let me send you back to rest properly at home. He will come back to see you once he finishes with his work."

At this time, Zhou Guangtao was also trying to persuade Xue Liping from the side; together they managed to get her to leave Sun’s company and sent her home in a car that Zhou Guangtao had borrowed.

The way back home, Yan Luoxi knew that he was busy with work-related calls from his company as well, so when she arrived at their house, she let him go back.

Xue Liping had been causing a fuss for the whole morning and was now exhausted. Yan Luoxi asked her maid to prepare some food and coaxed her mother to eat before sending her back to bed for rest.

When she came out of Xue Liping’s room, Yan Luoxi sighed sadly.

The last thing Mom said right before falling asleep was: "Sun Zhijun wants a divorce from me He can only wish I were dead!"

It seemed that Sun Zhijun’s sudden request for a divorce had shaken Mom’s nerves, which were usually confident and assertive. Making her agree to the divorce would be quite difficult.

Yan Luoxi stood by the window looking out at the garden’s quiet scenery while thinking about how earlier, Sun Zhijun looked disgusted when he was talking about his wife. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Mom had no special skills and no income source of her own. She lived a life filled with self-satisfaction solely relying on her once beautiful face and attractive body.

Now, she is no longer young and beautiful; even if there are men coveting her charm, none of them can provide her with the affluent lifestyle that Sun Zhijun has.

Mother had invested all her resources in Sun Zhijun. How could he just divorce her on a whim!

Why did she want to persuade Mother to divorce him Why did she have to force Mother to step down and let Sun Zhijun marry that little girl

Yan Luoxi bit her lips in anger, thinking. Her fury and jealousy burned like wildfire.

She knew Sun Zhijun was someone with a certain amount of influence, and Zhou Guangtao wouldn't be able to defeat him. Who could rein in Sun Zhijun

Yan Luoxi suddenly remembered what Li An had said earlier, and almost instinctively took out her phone to dial his number.

Fortunately, the call went through; Li An hadn't changed his number after all.

"Yan Luoxi!" Li An's voice was filled with surprise as if he never expected Yan Luoxi would call him.

"Humph." Hearing Li An's doubtful tone, Yan Luoxi felt a little choked up and regretted her decision. However, thinking of Mother’s miserable look, she answered firmly, "Yes, it's me."

"Is there anything you need" Li An's voice suddenly turned extremely tense.

"Young Master An, the food is ready; please taste my cooking." A woman's gentle and melodious voice faintly echoed through the phone.

Yan Luoxi's premeditated words suddenly stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"Why aren't you talking What happened" Li An’s voice became clearly agitated.

"Young Master An, please come over..."

"Shut up!" Li An seemed to turn his head and shout at the woman beside him before turning back to Yan Luoxi, "Speak! Don't tell me you've turned mute. What is going on"

"I... I'm fine now," Yan Luoxi was terrified out of her wits. She gripped the phone tightly and was only reminded at that moment how terrifying Li An could be.

A loud crash echoed, as if something had been dropped to the ground, "If nothing happened, would you call me on your own accord Tell me!"

Li An’s earth-shaking roar caused Yan Luoxi's eardrums to ache.

Yan Luoxi knew she couldn't avoid it anymore and said resolutely, "Sun Zhijun wants a divorce with my mother. I want to know if there is any way you can prevent them from getting divorced."

Li An thought Yan Luoxi had encountered some terrifying situation; he was so worried that he felt like going crazy. He didn't expect her to make such an absurd request, and his tense nerves relaxed instantly. He muttered under his breath, "Damn it!"

Yan Luoxi's face immediately flushed red, "You... What are you saying"

Li An only realized then that he had spoken out of line, chuckled softly and said gently, "I wasn't talking about you." His voice unconsciously softened. to Yan LuoXi's repeated persecution by Li An, she had developed a high level of endurance and deception skills. She told lies without any change in her complexion, "This place is very good; it gives...
