Ning Nanxue took a deep breath, her gaze as sharp as a knife, staring straight at Fu Chen, and declared word by word with a resounding voice: "Fu Chen, I, Ning Nanxue, will tell you today that I don't need charity from anyone, nor do I need to sell myself out in exchange for success!"

"I, Ning Nanxue, will rely on my own abilities to stand proudly at the top!"

Jiang Tingchen looked at Ning Nanxue, his eyes filled with heartache and admiration.

He saw the fragility hidden beneath Ning Nanxue's strong exterior, but also saw her shining points of independence and her courage to love and hate.

At this moment, his feelings for Ning Nanxue became deeper and more firm.

The resort staff and other guests were shocked by the scene.

They gathered around and pointed at Fu Chen and Ning Nanxue. The atmosphere was awkward and tense.

Ning Nanxue didn't want to continue arguing with Fu Chen in public.

She turned to look at Jiang Tingchen and said softly, "Tingchen, let's go."

Jiang Tingchen nodded gently, held Ning Nanxue's hand tightly, and calmly turned around and left with her.

Fu Chen left the resort angrily, but when he returned to the villa, the anger in his heart had not dissipated at all.

Every word and expression of Ning Nanxue at the resort kept replaying in his mind.

Especially her last sentence, "I, Ning Nanxue, will rely on my own abilities to stand proudly at the top!"

These words, like sharp thorns, pierced his heart again and again.

He ripped his tie loose in frustration and paced back and forth in the living room.

Ning Nanxue has really changed.

Become so confident, so dazzling, and even so decisive.

Does she really not need him anymore?

This realization caused an indescribable panic to rise in Fu Chen's heart.

He stopped and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have gained anything by rushing to the resort and causing a scene.

On the contrary, it made Ning Nanxue hate him even more and distance herself from him even more.

He began to think over and over again about the quarrel with Ning Nanxue at the resort.

Xu Zhiru walked into the living room cautiously, holding a cup of hot milk.

When she saw Fu Chen's gloomy face and pacing back and forth in the living room, she knew that he was in a bad mood.

"Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you still angry with Ning Nanxue?"

Xu Zhiru asked softly, her tone gentle, trying to comfort the depressed Fu Chen.

When Fu Chen heard Xu Zhiru's voice, he stopped and turned to look at her.

His eyes were empty and unfocused, as if he didn't see her at all.

"A Chen?" Xu Zhiru called out again, her tone worried.

Fu Chen finally came back to his senses and glanced at Xu Zhiru, his eyes still cold and without a trace of warmth.

"It's okay." He replied in a cold tone, then turned around again and continued pacing, completely ignoring Xu Zhiru's existence.

Xu Zhiru's hand holding the hot milk was trembling slightly, and the grievance and jealousy in her heart were growing wildly like vines.

She put down the milk, walked behind Fu Chen, gently hugged his waist, and said softly: "Ah Chen, I know you are sad, don't think about those unhappy things, I will always be with you."

Xu Zhiru's voice was as gentle as water, with a subtle hint of flattery.

However, Fu Chen did not react at all, still immersed in his own thoughts, his mind full of Ning Nanxue's figure.

Xu Zhiru's hands froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face gradually froze.

Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen returned to the city.

The experience at the resort and Fu Chen's farce not only did not affect their mood, but made the relationship between them closer.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"Thank you for today, Tingchen." Ning Nanxue turned her head to look at Jiang Tingchen and said sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I don't know how this would end."

"However, what Fu Chen did today was really ugly." Ning Nanxue thought of Fu Chen's hysterical look at the resort and couldn't help shaking her head, with a hint of helplessness and disgust in her tone.

Jiang Tingchen's eyes darkened slightly, and he said calmly, "Don't pay attention to him. He's just jealous that you're living a better life than him."

"I know." Ning Nanxue responded softly, her tone calm and firm, "I won't be influenced by him again."

After returning to the company, Ning Nanxue immediately devoted her energy to work.

The cooperation project with Huayun Group is in full swing, and she needs to devote herself to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

Fu Chen investigated for a while and found that Jiang Tingchen did have many successful business projects under his name, but there was no indication that he had the ability to cover the sky with one hand or become Ning Nanxue's "backer".

This made him even more confused.

Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen met with senior executives of Huayun Group to finalize the details of the cooperation agreement.

The meeting was held at the headquarters of Huayun Group, and Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen arrived early.

Huayun Group's conference room is spacious and bright, with a simple and elegant layout, demonstrating the strength and heritage of this business giant.

Ning Nanxue walked into the conference room and couldn't help feeling a sense of awe in her heart.

Soon, senior executives of Huayun Group arrived one after another.

The leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a calm aura. His every move exuded the majesty of a superior.

"Mr. Ning, Mr. Jiang, welcome to Huayun Group."

The middle-aged man smiled and extended his hand to Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen with a warm and polite attitude.

"Hello, Mr. Li. It's my honor to cooperate with Huayun Group." Ning Nanxue shook hands with Mr. Li generously, her tone confident and calm.

The meeting officially begins.
