Chapter 236
After listening to this, the assistant turned his gaze to Wang Min, with a look of speechlessness and helplessness in his eyes.
Even at this point, Wang Min still didn't understand who she should apologize to. It would be strange if the president could forgive her!
Sure enough, Leng Zexi's cold rejection was soon heard.
Leng Zexi looked at Wang Min expressionlessly and said in a cold voice, "Ms. Wang, you are mistaken. The person you should apologize to is not me, but my wife."
After saying that, his deep and cold eyes stared at Wang Min closely, as if they could penetrate her heart.
Then, Leng Zexi continued: "My wife is very good and kind. So, please don't compare her with anyone else casually in the future, because it is a great disrespect to her."
When saying this, although Leng Zexi's tone was calm, the firmness and protectiveness contained in it were obvious.
At this moment, Wang Min's face turned very ugly. She bit her lip, trying hard to suppress the resentment in her heart. She slowly bent down and humbly apologized to Xia Ruo'an: "I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have compared you to me."
However, although Wang Min had made such a gesture, Xia Ruoan was not moved by it.
On the contrary, Xia Ruoan looked at Wang Min with displeasure and responded bluntly: "Compared to the title of 'Miss Xia', I would rather you address me as 'Mrs. Leng'."
"Also, I'm sorry that I can't accept your apology. After all, I don't want to see my husband cooperating in any way with a woman who has ulterior motives and is trying to spy on him."
Xia Ruoan expressed her attitude directly. She was not broad-minded enough to easily forgive such a thing.
Wang Min widened her eyes and looked at Xia Ruoan in disbelief at the indifferent expression on her face, her heart full of doubts and confusion.
She really couldn't understand why she refused to forgive her even though she apologized to her so sincerely!
Doesn't she care at all that doing this might leave a bad impression on Leng Zexi?
Wang Min took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil, and continued, "Then I wonder what you will do to forgive me, Madam Leng? This cooperation is extremely important to me, I absolutely cannot mess it up!"
"Moreover, if we cannot reach a cooperation, it will undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Leng Group."
"Do you really have the heart to ruin the entire cooperation plan just because of my confession?" At this point, Wang Min's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, with a hint of eagerness and anxiety.
Wang Min became more and more excited as he spoke. He glared at Xia Ruo'an angrily and accused her, "Do you know how much effort I put in to facilitate the cooperation with Leng Group on this project? I spent a lot of time and energy, running around and making careful preparations. It was not easy to get an opportunity like today."
"However, now, all my efforts will be in vain just because of your simple words - you don't agree to cooperate. Even my position in the company will be seriously threatened!"
At this moment, Wang Min's eyes were slightly red, and her face was full of grievance and unwillingness.
Facing Wang Min's questioning, Xia Ruoan just glanced at her calmly and responded calmly: "I'm sorry, Ms. Wang, I don't know how much time and energy you have invested in this. To be honest, I don't want to know about this at all."
"The only thing I care about is that you actually like my husband and want him to betray me. Just for this reason, I don't want to see you again in my life. So, please don't cooperate with me in the future."
After saying this, Xia Ruoan did not give in at all and no longer paid attention to the furious Wang Min behind him.
"Zexi, if we don't cooperate with her, how much loss will our company suffer? I will use my own money to make up for it then!"
Xia Ruoan stared at Leng Zexi closely, her eyes full of concern and anxiety, and she couldn't wait to get an answer from him.
Leng Zexi shook his head gently, and replied in a firm but gentle tone: "For our company, not cooperating with her will not cause any substantial losses."
"Besides, you have made it clear that you are unwilling to cooperate with her, so we will resolutely not cooperate."
"I run this company specifically to make money to support you, so how could I bear to let you suffer even the slightest injustice?" After saying that, he turned his head and looked coldly at the pale Wang Min standing beside him.
"Ms. Wang, please leave here immediately. Also, regarding the cooperation, even if my wife has not refused, I will never choose to cooperate with someone with serious character problems."
Leng Zexi expressionlessly winked at the assistant standing beside him, indicating that he should ask Wang Min to leave as soon as possible.
"Ms. Wang, please move aside. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the security to come upstairs." The assistant bowed slightly and said to Wang Min politely but unquestionably.
However, at this moment Wang Min had never expected that Leng Zexi would look at her in this way. She widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who had once made her heart beat fast in disbelief, her heart filled with shock, anger and unwillingness.
"Leng Zexi, how can you treat me like this? I just simply like you, is this also a fault?"
Wang Min shouted loudly and excitedly, his voice trembling with anger, and he seemed still unaware of the adverse effects of his behavior.
"You have already caused me a lot of trouble! Besides, I don't need your love at all, because I am a married man. If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for falling in love with me, and you shouldn't have expressed this feeling to me and let me know about it."
"Doing this will only make me feel extremely disgusted and repulsive." Leng Zexi stared at the woman in front of him with cold eyes and scolded her mercilessly.
"It was because of you that my wife almost misunderstood me."
"This is all your fault! An An is the beloved person I have always dreamed of and finally got. I love her so much that I can't even begin to care for her enough. How could I possibly hurt her in the slightest because of you?"
"You can ignore your own reputation, but I can't." After saying this, Leng Zexi showed no mercy and decisively signaled the assistant beside him to forcibly drag the man out.
Xia Ruoan watched the man being ruthlessly taken away, and a trace of worry surged in her heart. She looked at Leng Zexi with concern and asked softly, "Will there really be no problem if we just give up cooperating with the other party?"
Leng Zexi shook his head slightly, reached out and gently patted Xia Ruo'an's shoulder, and said softly, "I want to conduct foreign trade transactions smoothly, and it is not only feasible through her father's channel. Wang's Group was originally just a backup among our many options, not the only option."
"Moreover, as you have just witnessed, the Wang family's actions clearly reveal serious flaws in their character."
"So, not cooperating with them is not a loss, but rather something to be thankful for."
"Let's not talk about them. An An, why did you suddenly think of coming to the company to find me today? Where are our babies?" Leng Zexi said as he searched around for the children, but found nothing.
So he gently took Xia Ruoan's hand, walked to the sofa and sat down together.
Xia Ruoan smiled and handed Leng Zexi the coffee she had packed for him, saying softly, "I have sent the children to their parents and asked them to help take care of them."
"Actually, it was Senior Brother Zhao Han who asked me to go out this time." After saying this, she looked at Leng Zexi frankly, without any intention of concealing anything.
Hearing the name "Zhao Han", Leng Zexi frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked: "Oh? Zhao Han... is he the senior brother who sent you orchids at our wedding?"
He still had some impression of this person.
Xia Ruoan nodded and replied, "Yes, it's him. This time he came to me to ask for a favor and asked me to contact my eldest brother, hoping that he could treat his daughter's illness. He mainly wanted to take good care of her body."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but think of the little girl named Chang'an, and felt a surge of pity in his heart.
The child was very thin, especially his little hands. The backs of his hands had turned black due to years of injections.
When Xia Ruoan thought of this, his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
Then, Xia Ruoan added: "That child is heartbreaking to see."
After hearing this, Leng Zexi was secretly surprised.
He didn't expect that Zhao Han and he wouldn't be able to be together in the end.
Xia Ruo'an shook her head slowly, a trace of bitterness and helplessness on her face, and said softly: "Senior Brother Zhao was not actually with Senior Sister Qiao. He ended up marrying another woman."
"And their current daughter was born prematurely due to Senior Sister Qiao. Before that, the child was even close to miscarriage!" She frowned slightly, as if recalling that heartbreaking past.
"Back then, my senior brother resolutely left because he wanted to pursue his current wife."
"However, it is regrettable that he did not explain this matter clearly to Senior Sister Qiao. When Senior Sister Qiao learned about this, she went to look for him without hesitation."
"But just when the two were arguing fiercely, an unfortunate accident happened - the fetus in the belly was accidentally injured. Just now, I happened to see the child. The little appearance was really adorable. It really made people feel distressed!"
Speaking of this, Xia Ruoan's eyes couldn't help but become moist, and his heart was full of regret and self-blame.
