"President Lin, I apologize to you. I'll punish myself with a drink, okay?" Tang Yu looked sincere as he took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and downed it in one gulp to express his apology.
Actually, he wasn't afraid of Lin Hongyu at all. Someone as ruthless as him was no match for Lin Hongyu. However, it wasn't appropriate to make a big fuss in this situation. He could just put on a fake smile and let it pass.
Seeing his sincere appearance, Lin Hongyu decided not to argue with him too much, given the current situation.
"Zihan, don't be angry. Don't blame my cousin. He's a very playful person. He's the kind of person who doesn't mean anything by his words. Zihan, please don't take it to heart."
Li Mei's soft, charming voice, her arm linked with Ou Zihan's, and her extremely intimate posture, were a declaration of her ownership of Luo Xiaoyi.
Although she was very angry, since Ou Zihan and Luo Xiaoyi had already broken up, and Ou Zihan was still speaking up for her, she had to pretend to be a sensible woman and act like the young mistress of the Ou family even before they were officially married.
Seeing how intimate they were, Luo Xiaoyi felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart, almost on the verge of collapse. She forced herself to stay composed, not letting her expression betray her feelings. She remained expressionless and indifferent.
Her unmoved appearance only provoked Ou Zihan further. Instead of shaking off Li Mei, Ou Zihan looked at Li Mei tenderly, flicked Li Mei's nose with his long finger, and said softly, "Hehe, baby, I love you so much, of course I love everything about you. I was just teasing your cousin. Who would care about a 'past tense'?"
This scene truly stung Luo Xiaoyi's eyes and her heart; her face paled slightly, and her body swayed slightly.
Lin Hongyu pulled her into his arms at the opportune moment and supported her. Ou Zihan stared intently at Lin Hongyu's arm draped over Luo Xiaoyi's bare shoulder, feeling extremely displeased.
Li Mei's heart skipped a beat. She stared at Ou Zihan in astonishment. This was the first time Ou Zihan had ever spoken such tender words to her. Although she knew that Ou Zihan was only saying it to spite Luo Xiaoyi, she also felt a strong sense of satisfaction at that moment. After all, she felt incredibly pleased to spite Luo Xiaoyi in front of everyone.
"Zihan..." She looked at him tenderly, calling his name softly in a sweet voice. Her head rested on Ou Zihan's shoulder, and her face was filled with a happy and shy smile.
Ou Zihan gently stroked her hair with his large hand, and the two showed their affection, making everyone around them envious. Those present couldn't help but admire this perfect couple, casting envious glances their way. In terms of family background, talent, and appearance, the two were an unparalleled match made in heaven.

Luo Xiaoyi's face turned deathly pale, as if a knife was stabbing into her heart. At this moment, no matter how strong she was, her heart had already collapsed. She swayed a few times in Lin Hongyu's arms, and finally managed to force a faint smile onto her face.
But in her heart, tears were already flowing like a river.
Ou Zihan's deep black eyes were fixed on her face, trying to find the expression of her injury. Unexpectedly, the woman just smiled indifferently, and the charming curve of her lips tore his heart apart.
His face was scarred and broken, and he dejectedly looked away from her, picked up his wine glass, and gulped it down! This action buried the bitterness in his heart.
Oh? Has Ou Zihan really fallen in love with his cousin? Tang Yu wondered to herself.
Tang Yu raised his wine glass and tried to get closer to Ou Zihan. He wanted to collaborate with Ou Zihan on a seaside restaurant project, and he enthusiastically began to explain it to her…
Luo Xiaoyi went to the bathroom; she needed to escape quickly, to get away from the man who caused her so much pain!
Lin Hongyu felt there was something fishy about what Ou Zihan said. After all, he already found it strange why Bank Manager Tan would lend him money. Could it really be Chen Ran who provided the funds? But where would a mere secretary like her get so much money? Who exactly is she? What's her background? He needed to find Chen Ran and get to the bottom of this.
As a result, Lin Hongyu learned the truth from Chen Ran. Of course, Chen Ran didn't dare to tell Lin Hongyu that she had a crush on him. Lin Hongyu was indeed very proud. Even if he stopped the development project of the resort, he still wanted to withdraw the money and return it to Chen Ran. Chen Ran finally convinced Lin Hongyu by investing in the project herself.
Luo Xiaoyi had just come out of the restroom, feeling incredibly frustrated. If she had known she would be this unlucky, she wouldn't have come to the banquet. She was pouting as she walked down the corridor when suddenly, she bumped into a man covered in blood. The man's immense force knocked her down, and he fell on top of her.
She was knocked down hard, and her whole body ached from the fall!
The man's strong body pressed heavily on her, the pressure like a mountain, instantly immobilizing her.
Bright red blood gushed from the man's chest, staining her white dress. She stared in shock at the face of the man on top of her—it was Tang Yu, the very man who had just mocked her!
Tang Yu's face was deathly pale, as pale as the face of the Black and White Impermanence, as if he had already stepped into the gates of hell. He was extremely weak and powerless, his face contorted in pain, and his voice was so low and hoarse that it was almost inaudible, "Luo Xiaoyi, please, save me..."
The sound was like a falling leaf, drifting aimlessly in the cold wind, endlessly falling downwards...
He was in excruciating pain as he faced death. Through his blurred vision, he saw Luo Xiaoyi. He knew she was a skilled doctor, and as if he had grasped a lifeline, he reached out his bloodied hand to her, wanting to hold onto the only hope of survival!
