Qi Mingyang couldn't understand. "Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? Or are you blaming me for not giving you a proper title? Zhenzhen, we are the perfect couple. I regret not being with you in college."

Now, after experiencing the harsh realities of society, he realizes just how important power and status are.

Yan Zhenzhen smiled bitterly. The Qi Mingyang of the past would never have cared about these things, but now, all he sees are these things.

When he didn't care about power and status, he happened to have those things. But now that Qi Mingyang cares about them, the Yan family has lost power and status.

"I'm sorry, your grand plan has fallen through. The Yan family has gone bankrupt, and I have nothing now. I'm no longer the high and mighty heiress of the Yan Group!"

Yan Zhenzhen smiled bitterly; they were ultimately destined to be apart.

Qi Mingyang was clearly still not quite able to accept this.

"How could that be? Can such a large family business like yours really have an accident?"

Yan Zhenzhen chuckled softly, "What can't be changed? Even human nature, which is the hardest thing to change, has been changed, hasn't it?"

Qi Mingyang was unwilling to give up and grabbed Yan Zhenzhen's hand.

"Yan Zhenzhen, explain yourself! Are you lying to me? This banquet is really important to me. Don't joke with me at a time like this!"

Seeing his anxious and eager appearance, Yan Zhenzhen felt even more ironic.

"I'm not joking with you."

Qi Mingyang looked impatient. "Since your family is already bankrupt, why are you hiding it from me? You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"She didn't lie to you. Even though the Yan family went bankrupt, she's still someone a poor man like you can't afford to be with!"

Shen Qingxu never expected that being dragged to a banquet late at night would lead to such a farce.

He walked up to Yan Zhenzhen and asked with a smile, "My noble princess, may I escort you home?"

Yan Zhenzhen was amused by him, staring blankly at Shen Qingxu, her nose tingling with tears.

The humiliation of being looked down upon and ridiculed after her family fell into poverty suddenly vanished.

"Shen Qingxu, are you doing this on purpose?"

Qi Mingyang also recognized Shen Qingxu. "President Shen, I am Qi Mingyang from Heli Foundation. Can I have a private talk with you? Zhenzhen and I are friends!"

"Zhenzhen, you and President Shen are friends, why didn't you tell me?"
