Half an hour later, Ruan Tang knocked on the door and entered the presidential suite of Platinum Palace.
A tall, slender man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling capital city.
Ruan Tang's eyes revealed an undisguised admiration.
This man was born to be admired, and she was no exception in looking up to him!
If it weren't for Qiao Wanwan's appearance, everything would be so wonderful!
But it doesn't matter. After all the twists and turns, everything has come full circle. The person standing next to Zhan Jingting is still her!
Ruan Tang composed herself, walked to his side, and said softly, "Brother Jingting, just as I expected, Qiao Wanwan refuses to get a divorce."
The man's handsome face remained expressionless as he spoke calmly, "The reason."
"Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant," Ruan Tang said helplessly. "Perhaps they want more."
Zhan Jingting's voice was slightly cold, "The money I gave her is enough for her to live on for a lifetime."
“Who would complain about having too much money?” Ruan Tang pulled Zhan Jingting’s arm. “Especially for a woman from her background, who has finally managed to climb up such a high branch as the Zhan family, she is even less likely to let go easily.”
Zhan Jingting frowned, turned to look at her hand, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes!
Startled, Ruan Tang quickly let go and apologized tremblingly, "Brother Jingting, I...I'm sorry...I didn't mean to touch you."
Zhan Jingting turned his gaze back to the window. "You know, I hate it when people touch me."
“I know,” Ruan Tang said, her voice choked with emotion. “Brother Jingting, Aunt is gone. Now, it’s just the two of us left to depend on each other in this world. I will listen to you.”
Zhan Jingting asked in a deep voice, "What are Qiao Wanwan's conditions?"
"She wants to see you, but she probably still wants to cling to you."
"Go and make arrangements so I can meet with her."
"Brother Jingting..."
Ruan Tang had just opened her mouth when Zhan Jingting interrupted her, "I not only want a divorce, but I also want to take back the Dijing Group, so we must act quickly."
Helpless, Ruan Tang could only say, "Alright then, I'll make the arrangements."
......
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.
When Zhan Yin accompanied Qiao Wanwan to the Platinum Palace, they saw Ruan Tang walking towards them in the lobby on the top floor.
Qiao Wanwan's gaze darkened!
Ruan Tang, wearing high heels, walked up to her and said, "Sister-in-law..."
"Smack!"
A crisp slap interrupted Ruan Tang's words!
Ruan Tang's head was turned to the side after being hit!
She covered her numb left cheek, concealing the hatred in her eyes. When she turned her head, her face was full of grievance. "Sister-in-law, how could you hit me?"
"You still dare to pretend!" Qiao Wanwan said angrily. "Ruan Tang, for my mother's sake, haven't I been good to you? You want to research Jing Ting's illness, I'll fund it for you; you want a home, I'll buy you a house!"
"But I never imagined you were so dark-hearted that you would dare to plant a bomb in the Zhan family's old house and cause an explosion on Mom's birthday!"
"Ruan Tang, even now, do you still dare to admit that you covet Jing Ting and want to take my place as Mrs. Zhan?!"
Ruan Tang's tears fell in a stream. "Sister-in-law, how could I possibly have such thoughts? I'm Jing Ting's cousin!"
"You know perfectly well whether it's true or not!"
"Sister-in-law, you've gone too far..." Ruan Tang cried even harder, "A gentleman uses words, not fists. Even if you're angry with me, you can't hit me..."
"I didn't just hit you, I wanted to kill you!" Qiao Wanwan grabbed her neck and forced her against the wall, pinning her down. "I regret it so much now, I regret not getting rid of you, this menace, back then!"
"Ugh..." Ruan Tang was being choked and couldn't breathe. "Help...help me..."
Qiao Wanwan suddenly felt puzzled. Ruan Tang was not someone who would be so easily bullied!
Just as he was thinking this, a deep, cold voice suddenly came from behind him, "Let her go."
Qiao Wanwan was startled, subconsciously let go of his hand, turned around, and saw Zhan Jingting standing behind her.
The man's cold eyes fixed on her face, devoid of any warmth, as if he were looking at a stranger he despised!
"Cough cough cough..." Ruan Tang coughed as she walked to Zhan Jingting's side. "Brother Jingting, don't blame her, she just misunderstood..."
Zhan Jingting's gaze grew even colder. "Ruan Tang is my cousin. You're the first person who dared to take her life in front of me."
Zhan Yin's lips twitched. He said, "Uncle, your attitude right now is not right. Let me tell you, Ruan Tang is not a kind person. No matter what she has told you in the past three months, you can't believe her!"
Zhan Jingting glanced at him. "If I don't believe her, why would I believe a good-for-nothing like you?"
Zhan Yin: "......"
"Uncle, let's talk this out. Why are you resorting to personal attacks? Where have I been irresponsible or dissolute?"
“You looked like you were destined for failure even when you were a child, and it turns out that’s true.”
Zhan Yin: "......"
He was furious, but dared not argue back.
In the past two years, thanks to Qiao Wanwan's presence, Zhan Jingting's personality has become noticeably gentler; at least at home, he's a completely different person.
Now that Zhan Jingting has lost his memory, he has returned to his original indifference, and Zhan Yin's deep-seated fear of being dominated arises spontaneously!
"Jingting, let's talk," Qiao Wanwan said at the right moment.
“We need to talk, but you must apologize to Ruan Tang for what just happened.”
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback. "You want me to apologize to Ruan Tang?"
