Yuan Shu wasnt wearing makeup today. She was bare-faced, revealing the beauty of her facial features. Her casual smile made her look like a cla.s.sic beauty.

Natural beauty was the first description that appeared in s.h.i.+ Xiaos mind. Yuan Shu was like an uncarved piece of beautiful jade, emitting a radiant and confident glow.

Yuan Shu continued, You left the s.h.i.+ family for Africa and disappeared too suddenly. Moreover, you disappeared for too long. During this period, whether it was intentional or not, I did attend many events on behalf of the s.h.i.+ family as Madam s.h.i.+, so you need me now. You cant divorce me in a short period of time. This is the value I bring to you.

Yuan Shu glanced at s.h.i.+ Xiao indifferently. She was sure that he had heard her words and was weighing his options.

What Yuan Shu meant was that s.h.i.+ Xiao needed Yuan Shu now, not that Yuan Shu wanted to stay in the s.h.i.+ family. Yuan Shu had the upper hand, not s.h.i.+ Xiao. Therefore, he had no choice but to agree to Yuan Shus request.

Yuan Shu paused again. Since she already used the carrot and stick approach, she naturally couldnt pressure him too much. She had to give s.h.i.+ Xiao a way out.

Of course, I also need the help of the s.h.i.+ family. Yushu Buyi has just transitioned and is in the beginning stage. 1 need financial support and the s.h.i.+ family as my backer to make the customers believe in Yushu Buyis strength more. Besides, if we can live together harmoniously, it will reduce your troubles. You dont have to worry about me backstabbing you. 1 dont need you to trust me either. We only walk back to back.

There was an array in the military camp that was used for defense. When facing enemies from all directions, no one dared to expose their backs. Therefore, they could only face the surrounding enemies with their backs against their teammates. They werent the people they trusted the most, so they couldnt show their backs to them. If their backs were against each other, it meant that if one party died, the other party wouldnt survive either.

To put it simply, they had to go through thick and thin together. When both sides wanted to maximize their own benefits, they had no choice but to protect the people behind them.

This was the perfect way to describe Yuan Shus relations.h.i.+p with s.h.i.+ Xiao.

s.h.i.+ Xiao found this statement very interesting. This was the first time he had heard such an a.n.a.logy and it was very vivid.

He had a back-to-back relations.h.i.+p with many people, but others wouldnt describe this relations.h.i.+p like this. They were more willing to use cooperation or the word friends.h.i.+p to describe this relations.h.i.+p.

Hence, Yuan Shus blunt words were very refres.h.i.+ng. It also made s.h.i.+ Xiao want to believe this woman in front of him.

When he looked at her, he felt as if he was looking for a path in the forest. Occasionally, there would be fog, and he wouldnt be able to find his way back.

s.h.i.+ Xiao actually felt a trace of relief. Regardless of whether it was out of pride or for the family, it was fortunate that the person he married was Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu observed s.h.i.+ Xiaos face carefully without letting go of even the slightest movement. Even the flicker in his eyes was successfully captured by her. Yuan Shu knew that her negotiation was about to succeed.

Yuan Shu was once called the Iron Lady by everyone in the military camp not only because she was good at whipping, but also because she was very good at negotiating, especially in terms of psychological warfare. She could accurately grasp the other partys thoughts, be it the enemy or her subordinates.

Yuan Shu continued, Of course, we will only cooperate for a short period of time. When everything in the s.h.i.+ family is stable and Yushu Buyi is on the right track again, we can slowly distance our relations.h.i.+p. At that time, the s.h.i.+ family can announce that we are divorced to the public.

s.h.i.+ Xiao couldnt help but admire the woman in front of him. He thought that he was cautious and didnt let his emotions affect him, but the woman in front of him was on the same level as him..
