Professor Sun was holding Yuan Xiaolu and looking at a comic of "Journey to the West" for a while before placing Yuan Xiaolu down from his lap.

He carefully put away the set of "Journey to the West" comics, then handed over a set of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy to Lu Jun.

"Young Master Lu, after thinking it over, I find these calligraphy scrolls are too precious. I can't accept them…"

While saying this, he looked at Xu Fan with satisfaction and said, "Moreover, compared to your gift, I find the gift from Mr. Xu Fan more to my liking."

"Professor Sun, you…"

Such a huge contract was about to say goodbye, and Lu Jun simply could not accept it!

Not to mention, this time, he had spent billions, only to lose to Xu Fan, who had spent merely ten thousand yuan?

This… What is going on?

"Professor Sun, this guy is associated with the Ke Family…"

Lu Jun opened his mouth, wanting to remind Professor Sun of Xu Fan's relationship with the Ke Family, but before he could finish, he saw Professor Sun looking over with a cold face.

"Young Master Lu, are you trying to morally bind me?"

"I, Sun, will cooperate with whomsoever I choose! It's not up to you to decide for me!"

Professor Sun suddenly became angry, and although Lu Jun was resentful, he dared not act rashly. Holding back, he managed a smile and said, "No worries, good words match a learned person. Should you change your mind, I can deliver them to you at any time. Consider me as keeping them safe for you."

When Lu Jun had left with the calligraphy scrolls, Professor Sun looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, if you are interested, feel free to stay a while longer."

"Next, I plan to talk more with this gentleman, so I won't be able to entertain you further."

"This…"

Hearing this, who was still interested in staying?

By now, it was clear that Professor Sun had chosen Xu Fan to collaborate with!

What was the point in staying any longer?

"Whew…"

At that moment, Xu Fan could not help but breathe a sigh of relief; his efforts over the past few days had paid off, having completely figured out Professor Sun. Otherwise, he might not have been able to handle him.

"Hmm?"

Contemplating how to discuss the details of collaboration with Professor Sun, he suddenly looked towards the professor, feeling that something was amiss.

Following his gaze, he saw a female hotel attendant walking toward Professor Sun from not too far away.

Professor Sun clearly recognized this waitress, and at that moment his whole person froze, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

Love, hate, and all emotions seemed to reside in his eyes, but at that moment, hatred dominated!

"Heh, so you're still not dead?"

As the woman approached, Professor Sun's eyes turned icy cold!

"I…"

The woman was around the same age as Professor Sun and was quite beautiful, but she appeared somewhat frail, as if she were ill. Tears were forming in her eyes as she tried to say something, but before she could finish, Professor Sun moved abruptly.

Slap!

Professor Sun showed no mercy, slapping the woman squarely across the face!

The woman was very frail and couldn't react in time; struck by the slap, she fell straight to the ground.

Sun Xiaolu was instantly terrified and almost cried, asking weakly, "Dad, Dad, why are you hitting someone..."

Professor Sun didn't feel guilty for hitting someone in front of his child, but instead, he looked rather pleased.

He smiled, crouched down, and touched Sun Xiaolu's head as he explained, "Xiaolu, Dad was hitting the bad person, the White Bone Demon. You just need to remember, Dad was hitting a despicable woman."

"Good girl, go and play over there with Brother Xu Fan."

As he said this, Professor Sun pushed Sun Xiaolu towards Xu Fan, hoping that Xu Fan would take Yuan Xiaolu away.

At that moment, Professor Sun seemed to have fallen into madness, loosening his muscles as if he wanted to continue beating the fragile woman lying on the ground.

"Brother, brother, can we stay aside? Could you read me the 'Journey to the West' story..."

At that moment, Sun Xiaolu, looking frightened, tugged at the corner of Xu Fan's clothes, wanting to escape it all.

Xu Fan gave a bitter smile.

Upon closer inspection, Xu Fan had recognized this woman.

She was Professor Sun's ex-wife, and also the biological mother of Sun Xiaolu, Qiu Hongyao.

Back when their family was quite poor, around when Yuan Xiaolu was three or four years old and had no memory, Qiu Hongyao had decisively chosen to divorce, abandoning Professor Sun and Sun Xiaolu.

This was why Professor Sun hated women, especially young and beautiful women. At that time, Qiu Hongyao was young and beautiful, but she left Professor Sun with deep psychological scars.

At this moment, Professor Sun was continuously hitting Qiu Hongyao, who was sitting on the ground, unleashing his anger while Xu Fan couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

If Xiaolu knew that the woman being beaten by Professor Sun was her mother, it would likely cause her significant psychological trauma.

"Xiaolu, good girl, go play over there by yourself. Brother will come to join you in a bit."

After patting Sun Xiaolu's head, Xu Fan coaxed her to the side.

For the sake of this contract worth at least several billion, he should disregard everything else, let Professor Sun beat Qiu Haoyao, and avoid angering him.

But knowing the truth, Xu Fan genuinely couldn't do it...

When Han Dongxu had handed him Professor Sun's files, he had thought about having this woman help secure the contract.

But Qiu Hongyao wasn't in Shanghai, and he couldn't find her in the short term.

At the moment, no one in the hall recognized Qiu Hongyao. Xu Fan wondered, who had arranged for her to come, and what was the purpose?

Having arranged her to come, what was the purpose?

"Professor Yuan, this is really not too good."

He didn't have time to think more about this issue. Seeing Qiu Hongyao beaten to the ground by Professor Sun, suffering immensely, Xu Fan stepped forward and directly seized Professor Sun.

"I told you to take my daughter aside and stay there, can't you understand my words?"

Professor Sun was just a research professor; how could his strength compare to that of Xu Fan?

With one hand firmly seized by Xu Fan, he couldn't break free at all, and his fierce gaze turned towards Xu Fan.

Xu Fan gave a bitter smile and said, "Professor Sun, regardless, she is also your wife. As her husband, you should be taking care of her instead of hitting her. This is not what a husband should do."

"Heh, not what a husband should do?"

Professor Sun's smile was somewhat sarcastic as he pointed at Qiu Hongyao lying on the ground and said, "Then what do you think, are the actions of a wife supposed to be like hers?"

"Leaving me when I needed her most? Leaving her daughter when she needed someone to care for her the most? Do you think she is a competent wife?"

"Let me tell you, Xu Fan, I really want to kill this gold-digging and despicable woman!"
