Wang Qian did not answer immediately, but his body gradually tensed up.
Faced with Wu Yanping's burning gaze, he suddenly felt a little lost.
"I know you're busy, don't force yourself!"
As Wang Qian fell silent, the fervent anticipation in Wu Yanping's eyes quickly vanished.
However, she still forced a smile and said, "I'll go get you a cup of tea!"
As she spoke, she immediately stood up and distanced herself from Wang Qian.
"I'll go pour it!"
Zhong Yiyi seized the opportunity and hurriedly rushed to pour tea.
Wu Yanping didn't stop him, but instead sat down on the sofa opposite Wang Qian and calmly said, "You came here today just to find out if Liu Yanran has kept her promise?"
"I guess so!"
Wang Qian did not deny it.
His primary purpose in rushing here was indeed to find out whether Liu Yanran had fulfilled her promises.
"Do you think Liu Yanran will willingly admit defeat?" Wu Yanping asked.
"Given her personality, she definitely wouldn't!"
Wang Qian shook his head. "But I can't guess how she'll retaliate next."
He knew Liu Yanran all too well.
Ruthless, vindictive, and unscrupulous.
Liu Yanran suffered a crushing defeat this time, and she certainly won't let it go easily.
However, he really couldn't guess what the opponent would do next.
Knock knock knock!
A knock came at the door.
"who?"
Zhong Yiyi, who had just brought the tea to Wang Qian, called out instinctively.
"Miss Wu, Miss Zhong, someone wants to see you. Do you wish to see them?"
A woman's gentle voice came from outside the door.
"She's a hotel receptionist."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhong Yiyi recognized it and immediately asked, "Who is it?"
"That young lady said her name was Liu Yanran."
"Liu Yanran?"
Zhong Yiyi and Wu Yanping were both taken aback.
Wang Qian was also somewhat surprised.
What a coincidence!
He was planning to go find Liu Yanran after he left.
I never expected that before I could even go to them, they would come knocking on my door first.
"What does Liu Yanran want from me?" Wu Yanping asked, puzzled.
"Let her in!"
Wang Qian said, "I happen to need to talk to her!"
"Well... okay!"
Wu Yanping hesitated only slightly before nodding, "Yiyi, let Liu Yanran come up!"
"good!"
Zhong Yiyi nodded and immediately called out to the receptionist outside the door, "Please invite Miss Liu up."
"Okay, I'll go bring her up right away!"
As the waiter's voice faded, the footsteps also disappeared into the distance.
"Wang Qian, why do you want to see Liu Yanran?" Wu Yanping asked. "Don't you also dislike her?"
"It's rare that we still have leverage over her. I just want to take this opportunity to make an additional request to her."
"What are the conditions?"
You'll find out soon enough!
After the three waited patiently, the knocking sounded again not long afterward.
"Come in!"
As soon as Zhong Yiyi finished speaking, the door was opened from the outside.
Besides the waitresses, a beautiful woman in a white cheongsam walked in with light steps.
It was Liu Yanran.
"Wang Qian?"
Her smile vanished instantly when she saw Wang Qian sitting on the sofa. "What are you doing here?"
"What? If you can come, why can't I?" Wang Qian replied with a half-smile.
"Then what are you doing here?" Liu Yanran asked again.
"Why don't you tell me why you've come?"
Wang Qian glanced at Liu Yanran and said thoughtfully, "You didn't come here to chat with Wu Yanping, did you?"
"What business is it of yours if I'm looking for Wu Yanping?"
Liu Yanran clearly wasn't going to give Wang Qian a friendly look.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to regret it.
Because she glanced at Wu Yanping next to her.
As her attitude turned hostile, Wu Yanping, who had been calm, instantly turned grim.
She then realized that Wang Qian and Wu Yanping were in cahoots.
Her attitude toward Wang Qian largely determines Wu Yanping's attitude toward her.
"I'm sorry, I spoke a bit impulsively just now. Please forgive me."
To make up for her earlier mistake, she forced a smile and placed a delicate box on the table in front of her. "Yanping, this is a new cosmetic I brought for you. It costs over eight hundred yuan a box. It's just a small token of my appreciation, please don't find it offensive!"
"Thank you, but no need!"
Even though Liu Yanran lowered her stance, Wu Yanping's tone remained icy: "Just say what you want to say, or I'll see you out."
Then, she pointed to the box of cosmetics in front of her and said, "As for this kind of cosmetic, I don't need it. You can take it back."
A flash of shame and indignation crossed Liu Yanran's eyes.
But it was only fleeting.
The next moment, he forcibly suppressed his anger and shamelessly said, "We've already brought it here, there's no reason to take it back."
Before Wu Yanping could refuse, she changed the subject, saying, "I came here today mainly to tell you some fantastic news."
"What news?"
Wu Yanping subconsciously cast an inquiring glance at Wang Qian.
Wang Qian nodded subtly, signaling for Liu Yanran to continue.
"A few days ago, didn't several unscrupulous media outlets publicly smear you?"
Liu Yanran said excitedly, "Just last night, I pulled a lot of strings, asked a lot of people, and spent a lot of money to finally force them to stop smearing you. In today's news, they not only clarified things for you, but also publicly apologized to you."
