At this point in time, Lin Xi should have returned.

Nan Shu looked around but didn't see Lin Xi.

She remained silent; whether Lin Xi returned or not was none of her business.

But Wang Ma seemed to have seen through Nan Shu's thoughts and took the initiative to speak.

"President Qi and his wife went out to eat, so they told me not to wait for them or save any food for them."

Nan Shu noticed a hint of pretense in Wang Ma's expression. She smiled, said nothing, and lowered her head to serve food to En En, as if she hadn't heard a word.

Seeing that Nan Shu didn't react, Wang Ma smiled awkwardly and immediately turned around and went back to the kitchen to busy herself.

Nan Shu glanced back at Wang Ma, her gaze slightly cold.

After dinner, Nan Shu took Enen back to her room and didn't come out again.

After pacing around the living room for a while, Wang Ma finally picked up her phone and sent a message.

Nan Shu has been busy these past few days.

The design draft for Shengda has reached the final details, and Nan Shu has spent the remaining time designing new works.

A week later.

Looking at the gleaming necklace on the tray in front of her, Nan Shu let out a soft breath.

This is the work she is most satisfied with in her life.

The time she had arranged to meet Chris was fast approaching. Nan Shu carefully put the necklace into her jewelry box, quickly dressed herself up, and prepared to leave.

As soon as I stepped out of the corridor, I saw the door of a room not far away being pushed open.

Lin Xi strode in, her gaze falling on Nan Shu, and she paused for a moment.

Nan Shu acted as if she hadn't seen Lin Xi and prepared to go out.

Just as she walked up to Lin Xi, Lin Xi suddenly reached out and stopped Nan Shu.

"Do you think that by retreating in the name of advancement, Yu Ye's affections will return to you?"

Lin Xi's eyes were full of mockery and provocation.

"To tell you the truth, Yu Ye has been with me these past few days, and we even had a candlelight dinner together the other day."

Lin Xi proudly opened his phone and showed Nan Shu the screen saver.

On the phone screen, two pairs of hands were clearly visible, their fingers intertwined.

On one of his hands was a ring, which Nan Shu recognized as the same ring that Qi Yuye had once worn.

Nan Shu glanced at the screen, then looked away.

"so what?"

Nan Shu lazily raised her eyelids and looked at Lin Xi.

"Yu Ye and I have a very good relationship, so don't get your hopes up. He told me that he only let you live in his house as revenge for making him lose face back then."

Lin Xi blurted out everything on her mind. After saying this, she looked at Nan Shu triumphantly, hoping to see a shocked and disappointed expression on Nan Shu's face.

To her disappointment, Nan Shu's expression remained indifferent, as if the matter had nothing to do with her at all.

"I'm not interested in these things. I only have one goal, and I will leave naturally after I've accomplished it. You don't need to brag to me about how good Qi Yuye is to you."

Nan Shu spoke coldly.

"I have something very important to do right now, please move aside."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Lin Qi felt as if she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks burning.

From a young age, she was revered as a goddess and was fawned over wherever she went. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that.

"Nan Shu, who do you think you are? You just happened to be lucky enough to live in the Qi family for a few years. Let me tell you, you'd better leave the Qi family as soon as possible, otherwise I will absolutely not allow Nuomi to save your son!"

Lin Xi was furious and immediately brought out the glutinous rice.

When Nan Shu heard Lin Xi mention "umm," her anger was immediately reignited.

"Lin Xi, I originally intended to stay here peacefully with you until I left."

"But you insist on coming here to make trouble, so you can't blame me."

After saying that, Nan Shu picked up her phone and found some photos saved in her album.

Lin Xi's expression changed instantly upon seeing those photos.

She looked at Nan Shu in disbelief, her eyes filled with fear.

How did you get these photos?

Why are these things she desperately wanted to erase and forget in the hands of the person she hates the most?

Seeing Lin Xi's reaction, Nan Shu knew that these things were true.

"Why I have these things is not important. What is important is that if you continue to cause me trouble like you did today, I don't mind letting those who like you see just how filthy the soul is hidden under that beautiful face of yours."

Nan Shu pushed Lin Xi away and walked straight out.

Lin Xi, standing behind him, was distraught, and the thought of those photos made him tremble uncontrollably.

"How is that possible? I clearly destroyed all those things..."

Lin Xi muttered to himself and shook his head, his eyes gradually turning frantic.

Nan Shu drove to a high-end club in the city. Parking was not allowed inside the club, so Nan Shu parked her car outside and prepared to go straight in.

Two waiters wearing white gloves stood at the door and politely stopped Nan Shu.

"Hello ma'am, please show me your invitation."

Nan Shu was taken aback. Chris had given her an address, saying it was for an exhibition he was hosting, but it seemed he hadn't given her an invitation.

"I'm sorry, I don't have an invitation, but Chris invited me here."

Nan Shu explained.

"Madam, we cannot let you in without an invitation."

The two waiters smiled apologetically at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu nodded, walked to the side, and made a phone call to Chris.

Chris sounded apologetic on the other end of the phone.

"I'm so sorry, I've been too busy lately and forgot to have my assistant send you the invitation. How about this, I'll have my assistant pick you up, or I'll pick you up myself when I'm done."

"It's alright, you can just have your assistant pick me up."

Nan Shu knew that Chris, as the organizer of this exhibition, must have a lot to do, so she wasn't in a hurry.

Just as I hung up the phone, a sarcastic voice sounded behind me.

"I wondered who it was, but it's just my older sister."

Upon hearing this voice, Nan Shu instantly felt goosebumps rise on her arms.

She walked away without looking back, ignoring the other person.

But the other party stubbornly followed, their tone laced with schadenfreude.

"Sister, what brings you here? Do you want to come in? Don't you have an invitation?"

Nan Xue became more and more smug as she spoke.

"Oh, I forgot, with your design skills, you're not quite qualified to get in here."

Madam Nan pulled Nan Xue back and looked at Nan Shu with disdain.

"Xiaoxue, don't get too close to her. She has bad luck, and you're afraid she'll pass on her bad luck to you."
