Lawyer Luo confirmed he was representing the woman, adding that she was the one Xu Yun had introduced.

However, because her husband had also hired a lawyer from the same firm, the matter was rather difficult.

He recommended that the two of them settle privately if possible, rather than pursuing legal action.

But President Liang was unwilling. Her stance was firm; she wouldn’t give up a single penny.

Lawyer Luo asked tentatively, "Mr. Xu, would you be willing to help us persuade her to take a step back?

Our colleague representing him says the other party is willing to settle for just the last investment payment transferred to Ms. Liang—the three million—and will waive the rest."

Xu Yun asked, "Let me ask you this: if this goes to court, who do you think will win?"

"Ms. Liang has a better chance of winning, but we can’t rule out the possibility of a loss."

Lawyer Luo said, "After all, even though they’re already divorced, they never signed a formal property division agreement.

If he insists it was a sham divorce and has enough evidence to back it up, there’s a chance the court could order a second division of assets."

"Alright, I understand."

After hanging up, Xu Yun called Liang Yan.

"Hello, President Xu."

Liang Yan answered the call. "What can I do for you?"

"Where are you right now?"

"What’s this? You just turned me down yesterday. Miss me already?"

Liang Yan said smugly, "You men are all the same, always saying one thing and meaning another."

"Let’s be serious."

"I’m at the office right now."

Liang Yan asked, "Are you coming over?"

"Send me the address on WeChat."

"Alright."

Soon, Xu Yun followed the address she sent and arrived at a secluded location.

The setting was similar to his own company’s—a two-story, standalone building.

Xu Yun walked inside. He was surprised to see her company wasn’t small; there were about twenty to thirty employees.

The receptionist asked politely, "Hello, sir. Who are you here to see?"

"I’m looking for your President Liang."

Xu Yun stated, "My name is Xu Yun!"

"Oh, Mr. Xu. Please, come with me."

As soon as she heard his name, the receptionist smiled. "President Liang gave instructions just now. She said if you arrived, I should bring you directly to her office."

"Alright, thank you."

They crossed the first-floor lobby and went up to the second floor.

Compared to the layout of his own office, her entire second floor only had two offices.

One was hers, and the other had belonged to her husband.

But now that the two of them were at odds and Liang Yan had taken sole control of the company, her husband had been kicked out completely.

So now, Liang Yan was the only one on the entire second floor.

"President Liang, Mr. Xu is here."

The receptionist led Xu Yun into the office.

This was the first time he had seen Liang Yan in her element at work, and she was a little different from usual.

Today, she wore a pair of black-framed glasses, a gray blazer with a deep V-neck, and a black miniskirt, paired with sexy, black-spotted stockings and black high heels.

Her whole aura screamed ’dominant professional’, a complete transformation from the sophisticated, intellectual woman he had met before.

Seeing Xu Yun, Liang Yan smiled and rose to greet him, then instructed the receptionist, "Don’t let anyone disturb me for a while."

"Of course, President Liang. I understand."

After the receptionist left, Xu Yun casually found a spot on the sofa and sat down. He chuckled. "President Liang, with your outfit today, I almost didn’t recognize you."

"Is that right? Then you’ll have to take a good, long look at me later."

Liang Yan smiled, locked the door from the inside, and came to sit beside Xu Yun. She took off her glasses and tossed them aside.

She leaned in and asked flirtatiously, "So, tell me. What made you take the initiative to come find me today?"

"It’s about the lawsuit."

Xu Yun replied, unfazed, "Lawyer Luo just called me. He wants me to convince you to accept a settlement. If this really blows up, you don’t have a 100% chance of winning."

"And what do you think?"

Liang Yan retorted, "That I should be the one to back down?"

"This is your business. Don’t ask me."

Xu Yun said casually, "I just came to let you know, that’s all."

"You made a special trip all the way here just to tell me this?"

Liang Yan couldn’t help but laugh. "Eldest Young Master Xu, are you even trying to lie to yourself?"

"..." Xu Yun.

Words were no longer necessary.

They wasted no more time. The boardroom instantly became a battlefield.

When they finally came together, it was a moment that surpassed countless others.

At that moment, the sounds and sights within the room were destined to remain a secret from the world outside.

But not long after, Liang Yan’s ex-husband, Qin Chuan, suddenly stormed into the company.

Faced with their former boss, neither the receptionist nor the security guards dared to stop him, allowing him to charge right up to the door of Liang Yan’s office.

Qin Chuan tried the handle, intending to force his way directly inside.

But the door wouldn’t open.

It was locked from the inside!

Hearing the rattling at the door, Liang Yan called out from inside, annoyed, "Who is it? Didn’t I say not to let anyone disturb me?"

"President Liang."

The receptionist explained loudly, "It’s President Qin! We couldn’t stop him!"

"Liang Yan, get out here!"

Qin Chuan shouted furiously from outside the door, "Don’t think I can’t do anything just because you’re hiding in there!"

"I... I don’t have time for you right now."

Liang Yan’s broken, panting voice came from inside. "I’m busy right now! If you want to see me, wait outside!"

"..." Qin Chuan.

’Fine, I’ll wait. I refuse to believe you won’t come out today!’
