Chapter 282: Retreat to Advance

t when it was over, I realized the condom had slipped off sometime during sex...."The fetus is about three months old, you can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department to file a record." 。The nu...Lu Kuo found it strange. How could someone as cunning as Zhuo Yu'an be so clueless this time To win back his wife, shouldn't he double down on gentleness, patience, and even weep with remorse to beg her returnBut look at him, with a cold and indifferent face. He was definitely headed for a wife-chasing funeral pyre!Zhuo Yu'an, upon hearing his confusion, said calmly:"With Tinglan's personality, do you think relentless pursuit would make her lower her guard Or would starting as friends or even strangers help her feel more at ease"Did he not want to repair their relationship sooner Did he not yearn to be with her constantlyBut he knew that if he overstepped, she would run faster than anyone. Retreat was the right choice. 。Lu Kuo gradually understood this truth. Given their divorce situation, Ting Lan would certainly not agree to come back easily. After all, he had to admit that in matters of the heart, Zhuo Yu'an was more skillful than him. An old fox is still an old fox after all. 。Back then, when you wanted to pursue someone, you'd immediately establish intimacy upon meeting them, quick and decisive without any hesitation. Now, wanting to win them back, you're employing the complete opposite strategy, truly demonstrating patience and restraint. 。Both Ke Lu Kuo and Zhu Yu An ignored a fact: current Ting Lan wasn't the same as the Shu Ting Lan from before. In these past few years, perhaps they were still stuck in place, but Shu Ting Lan had moved on. She now had an excellent boyfriend and even more importantly, people around her. 。They didn't know, because they were all too confident that no one could treat her better than Zhuo Yu'an. 。Zuo Yuanan, in front of Shu Tinglan, adhered to the duty of an ex-husband, treating her as a normal friend. However, behind the scenes, he had done countless things. He arranged for Han, the director of the Lawyers Association, to let Shu Tinglan come to Senzhou to handle Xu Wei's case, and also used his relationship with Judge Liu from the court. Judge Liu decided to retry the case. 。He is working hard to build an inseparable bond between them, and the next step is hoping she will return to Senzhou and no longer go to the city. 。"You having Judge Liu take charge of this case must have been quite a shock to your parents." 。It doesn't hurt to know. 。Over the past few years, his relationship with his family has grown increasingly distant. He hasn't been in contact for several years, especially after the passing of his grandfather, the last remaining connection was severed. 。Sometimes, he sees parents attending important meetings in the news, but they seem like strangers to him. 。Zhu Hong had never taken the initiative to contact him. At first, Cheng Zhimin tried to get in touch with him, but seeing that the old man passed away and he didn't even attend the funeral, she knew that repairing their mother-son relationship was hopeless. 。Over the past few years, he has never shown up for any important family gatherings. Even the face that Cheng Zhimin valued most has been lost long ago. 。When they divorced, Cheng Zhimin even encouraged Li Yu to go to the overseas headquarters to find him. And Li Yu did go, but seeing Zhuo Yunan naturally led to her heart sinking and returning home in disappointment. 。It was also learned that Zhuo Yu'an and Shu Tinglan got married and then divorced, and Cheng Zhimin even tried to deceive her. 。The Li family is not someone anyone in the circle dares to mess with. Mrs. Li couldn't swallow this, so she spread the news about Zhuo Yu'an's marriage throughout the circle. 。The wives in the circle had long been displeased with Cheng Zhimin's pretentious airs, and now she'd finally given them something to gossip about. 。The official wives didn't care who the other girl was, after all, when the Li family spread the news, they were reserved and didn't reveal her true identity. They only knew that she had been beaten up by Cheng Zhimin, breaking up their love and causing their son to hate her and run away. He even refused to attend important occasions like festivals or his grandfather's funeral. 。The evil mother-in-law, a quintessential example of feudal thought in old China. 。Cheng Zhimin had lost all face, so angry that smoke came out of her seven orifices, yet she couldn't retort a single word. She could only shut herself in and refuse to participate in any activities with the official wives anymore. 。So where's the time to care about their son's marriage It's also out of fear, too afraid to interfere. 。。Moreover, even though Zhuo Hong held an important position after his grandfather's death, his status was incomparable to that during his grandfather's lifetime. 。Lu Kuo suddenly remembered something:

"I went to see Hua, the head of Shunxin, this morning about the acquisition. Guess who I met"

This time, Zhuo Yuan Technology acquired Shunxin Technology Company. They heard that Whale Finance also participated in the investment. His uncle, Old Man Lu, wanted to get a share of the smart industry, so he naturally considered Zhuo Yuan Technology as an important partner. 。The old man has nothing else but money, so he put forward the conditions. As long as Shunxin can be acquired smoothly, money is not a problem. 。But when it came to Zhu Yunan, he put forward unprecedentedly harsh conditions for Shunxin Technology. If Lu Kuo hadn't known that he was sincerely acquiring the company, others would have thought he was here to disrupt things. 。So every time he went back to Shunxin Technology to negotiate, Lu Kuo would be the one who led the way. 。Zuo YUAN wasn't interested in who he met at Shunxin Technology. He asked rather coldly,

"Who did you meet"

"Wen Jian and the boss of Hengsheng Capital, they are also trying to get Shunxin Technology" 。Evergrande Capital has always been a rival of Tingjing Finance. Their support for Wenjian this time is definitely aimed at acquiring Xunxin Technology. 。"

Yeah " 。"Zuo Yu'an still showed no reaction." 。

"What are you up to I heard that Wenjian and Hengsheng Capital offered very generous terms to acquire Shunxin, but you, Zhuo Yuan, have set a historically unprecedentedly harsh price. Shunxin Tech almost kicked me out the door! " 。Give me a heads-up so I can mentally prepare. 。Sometimes Lu Kuo really couldn't figure out what Zhu Yu'an, the old fox, was thinking. 。He said all that, yet the old fox didn't blink an eye.

"You don't need to know for now, just do as you're told." 。Lu Kuai exploded: "With the terms we offered, acquiring Shunxin Technology is definitely hopeless." 。Let me tell you, if Shunxin's acquisition falls through, the first one to tear into me will be my old man. 。"Whoever dares to mess with you, your old man now worships you like an ancestor." 。Lu Kuò is the only child of the Lu family. The fact that he is willing to work at Tingjing Finance has made his family very happy, as they have been burning incense and praying for this outcome. 。Lu Kuo saw him like this and couldn't help but poke his sore spot. "I think you want Tinglan to come back, I don't think your hopes are high..." 。It's okay, if you really have to spend your life alone, I'll be with you. 。After finishing his sarcastic remark, he ran away with his legs, leaving the helpless Zhuo Yu'an behind. 。Shu Tinglan walked with Xiaoxin for almost half an hour before returning home. 。Both of them were wearing high heels, and when they got home and took their shoes off, they found that their heels were rubbed raw. 。Shutinglan walked home, her anger dissipated. She wasn't angry at anyone else, just herself. After coming to Senzhou, everything felt off. Because her past memories were too vivid, so vivid that she almost thought the events of the past few years were a dream, even the two little children were part of her dream. 。Luckily, Xiao Xin's presence reminded her. 。Xiaoxin was visiting Lawyer Shu's home for the first time. Although it was located in the suburbs, house prices in Senzhou were astonishingly high. This house alone must have cost millions. 。She asked, “Lawyer Shu, do you have someone clean this house regularly” Because it's too clean. 。mbled.“This is a trap set by Zhuo Yuan, no matter what, Hengsheng Capital will invest in me.”"According to my investigation, Zhuo Yunan and Tingjing Finance and Hengsheng Capital are competitors.
