After leaving his father behind, the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles has g

On the way, Lu Yunshan took the initiative to start a conversation with Song Shiyan, talking about everyday things and casual conversation, which was the easiest way to get closer to him.

Unexpectedly, Song Shiyan brought up work, asking, "Does Lu's Group have any good investment projects lately?"

Lu Yunshan's eyes lit up with surprise. Song Shiyan had a sharp and insightful eye. The projects he invested in were sure to make a profit, which was why he was able to take the Song Group to a new level in just two years after taking over.

If we could get his guidance, the risks of Lu's investment would be greatly reduced. It seems that he really cares about the Lu family.

Lu Yunshan hurriedly looked at Lu Peichuan, who had been lost in thought after getting into the car, and said, "Peichuan, talk to your older brother about the new project the company is preparing to invest in, and ask him to give you his opinion."

Lu Peichuan composed himself and explained in detail to Song Shiyan the several new projects the company was preparing to invest in.

Song Shiyan barely spoke, only offering a few precise and insightful comments after each project was introduced by Lu Peichuan. Although he didn't say much, his comments were full of valuable information, but he didn't say whether or not to invest.

Investing is inherently unpredictable; no one can say for sure.

But in the end, he said, "The Song family will also invest in this AI project."

Surprise appeared in Lu Peichuan's eyes. Although he was also optimistic about this project, as far as he knew, Song's research in AI had already reached the world's top level. Why would they invest in it?

Lu Yunshan was overjoyed. With the Song family co-investing, this project was guaranteed to make a profit. "Should we have Pei Chuan and Assistant Fang coordinate this later?"

Song Shiyan lowered his eyes, his well-defined fingers gently stroking the rosewood bracelet on his wrist, and said in a low voice, "No need."

Lu Yunshan's smile froze instantly. Wasn't it supposed to be a follow-on investment? Why isn't it being coordinated now?

The next second, the man's deep, indifferent voice rang out again, "I'll do it myself."

Lu Yunshan was stunned for a moment, then was a little dizzy from the sudden happiness. The project that Song Shiyan was personally in charge of must have a bright future, and this project was sure to make a lot of money!

Lu Yunshan, who had been in the business world for many years, could not hide his excitement at this moment. "Then I will have your room cleaned and ready for you to come anytime."

Song Shiyan: "Hmm."

Lu Xingyao glanced at Song Shiyan with a heart full of joy. The thought she had finally made up her mind to suppress instantly revived. As long as he was in Jiangcheng, she still had a chance.

So what if Wei Shuyan's family background is better than hers? Living apart in different places will definitely cause their relationship to grow distant, while she can take advantage of her proximity to get closer to Wei Shuyan.

On the plane, Lu Yunshan kept talking to Lu Peichuan about Song Shiyan's upcoming investment. Rong Zheng overheard this and her heart pounded. She didn't care about the investment itself; what she cared about was that Song Shiyan was coming to Jiangcheng.

Will his arrival affect her divorce?

The divorce agreement has been signed, and the divorce application has been filled out. All that's left is the cooling-off period before we can get the divorce certificate. At this crucial juncture, we can't afford to make any mistakes.

Rong Zheng recalled Song Shiyan's words, "Life is short, don't wrong yourself." Moreover, Lu Peichuan had already agreed to the divorce, so Song Shiyan shouldn't interfere. Thinking this, her anxious heart calmed down a little, and she just hoped that the cooling-off period would pass quickly.

After returning to Jiangcheng, Lu Peichuan began to focus on project investment, taking Song Shiyan's advice as a key reference, discussing it in meetings, and then deciding whether to invest in the projects or not.

There's also the AI ​​intelligence project, which is a key investment project for the Lu Group this year, and preparations are in full swing.

Rong Zheng felt that Lu Peichuan seemed to have changed after returning from Beijing.

Although he is still very busy, he will go home to be with her and their daughter whenever he has time. He will also talk to her about things at the company, what he did at the company that day, or why he worked so late.

Rong Zheng felt that he was indirectly telling her his whereabouts, and she also felt that he seemed to no longer want a divorce and wanted to salvage the relationship.

This is not a good sign.

So that evening, when Lu Peichuan brought up the company again, she said bluntly, "You don't need to tell me all this. The divorce cooling-off period is over in a week. We only need a divorce certificate. You are free, both in life and at work."

Lu Peichuan frowned at Rong Zheng, "Do you really want to divorce me that much?"

Rong Zheng's voice was indifferent: "Yes."

Lu Peichuan was provoked by Rong Zheng's unwavering answer. He wanted to coax her properly, and he had been doing so all this time, going along with her in everything. No matter how indifferent she was, he still tolerated and pampered her.

He was trying to show her his determination to change, but she couldn't see any change in him at all. What was the point of all that he did?

Lu Peichuan lost his patience and asked coldly, "Have you thought about the consequences of divorcing me?"

Rong Zheng said dismissively, "Whether it's the status of a wealthy wife or the life of luxury, I've never cared about those things."

Lu Peichuan's handsome face darkened slightly. "Without me, how will you, a divorced woman with a child, survive? Who would dare marry my ex-woman in the future?"

Rong Zheng found it amusing. "I have hands and feet, I have a job, and I'm capable of supporting myself and Tangtang. Besides, who says I have to remarry after a divorce? I can still live a carefree and independent life without a man."

"What about Tangtang? Have you thought about her?" Lu Peichuan frowned and questioned, "You yourself were an orphan, you should know best how important family is to a child. Are you going to let her grow up in a single-parent family for your own selfish desires?"

Lu Peichuan's words were like sharp swords piercing her heart. He knew how to hurt her deeply and what words would wound her the most.

Rong Zheng's face turned deathly pale instantly, her fingertips trembled, especially when she thought about the suffering she had endured as a child, and the thought that her daughter would be ridiculed for not having a father, her heart ached so much that she could hardly breathe.

But she suppressed her emotions, not showing them to Lu Peichuan, and only looked at him coldly, "You really know how to twist the truth. It was clearly you who cheated on me with your husband for your own selfish desires. I didn't want to live with the man who betrayed my mother and me, and yet you're the one who's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt flashed in Lu Peichuan's eyes, and his tone softened a bit, "It was my fault, but I've changed. Please give me another chance for Tangtang's sake. I will do everything I can to make it up to you, pamper you, protect you, and give you and our daughter the best life."

Rong Zheng shook her head. "It's impossible. I gave you my true heart, but you didn't cherish it. Every day we're together from now on, no matter how much compensation or sweetness you give me, the feeling of being betrayed is like an insurmountable chasm in my heart, one I can never get over."

Seeing that Rong Zheng remained unmoved by either persuasion or threats, Lu Peichuan's expression instantly turned cold again. "Rong Zheng, even criminals have a chance to reform. I only made one mistake, why must I be sentenced to death?"
