Lan Ruoruo opened her mouth but couldn’t refute him.
When Zhan Wei first took over the company, Lan Ruoruo sensed that his company showed signs of rising, so she tried to strangle it in its cradle, targeting him relentlessly, stealing his business, and poaching his clients.
Despite her aggressive tactics, Zhan Wei still led his company to success, proving he was a man of real ability.
No wonder his boss was willing to transfer half the company’s shares to him, without Zhan Wei, the company wouldn’t be where it is today.
With shares in the company, Zhan Wei would manage it with even more dedication, and the boss, holding only half the shares, could sit back and collect profits without lifting a finger.
Lan Ruoruo thought Zhan Wei’s boss was a shrewd man with a broad vision.
“Miss Lan, you’ve swollen my face, I could report this to the police, get a medical check for injuries, and make you pay for my medical bills, and you think just saying ‘sorry’ will make it go away?”
Zhan Wei had no intention of letting Lan Ruoruo off so easily.
Lan Ruoruo fell silent.
Zhan Wei could indeed take that route against her.
After a long pause, Lan Ruoruo finally softened and said, “I’ll have someone bring some ice packs to help reduce the swelling.”
She pulled out her phone and called her secretary, instructing her to get an ice pack.
When the secretary asked why she needed it, Lan Ruoruo told her not to ask questions and just arrange it.
After instructing her secretary, she addressed everyone in the coffee shop, “Please don’t misunderstand, this man is not my husband, we’re just business rivals.”
“I lost to him and was upset, seeing him having coffee with his sister-in-law, I deliberately shouted to ruin his reputation and took the chance to slap him.”
“I was wrong, I sincerely apologise to Mr. Zhan and clarify, please don’t think he’s a scumbag, he’s actually unmarried and doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”
“I’m truly sorry for disturbing everyone just now.”
Lan Ruoruo apologised to the crowd and then formally to Zhan Wei.
“Zhan Wei, I’ve asked my secretary to bring an ice pack, once it arrives, you can use it to reduce the swelling, it’ll go down quickly.”
With that, she nodded apologetically to Hai Tong and turned to leave.
“Stop.”
Zhan Wei called out to her.
“Lan Ruoruo, look at my face, red and swollen, you think sending an ice pack is enough?”
Lan Ruoruo turned to face him, asking, “What more do you want?”
If he dared to push his luck, she’d show him what’s what.
“You caused the swelling, so you need to fix it, when the ice pack arrives, you’ll personally apply it to my face until the swelling goes down.”
Lan Ruoruo, “…Zhan Wei, don’t push your luck.”
She spoke quietly, but Hai Tong still heard, sensing the gritted teeth in her tone.
“Who told you to swell my face? Since you caused it, you need to reduce it.”
“Or I could report this to the police, let everyone know how arrogant and unreasonable Miss Lan is, I guarantee it’ll make tomorrow’s front-page headlines.”
“This shows Miss Lan can’t handle losing, if word gets out, I wonder who’d dare do business with her?”
Lan Ruoruo, “…”
She suddenly regretted slapping him, putting herself in a tough spot.
Of course, she couldn’t let Zhan Wei report it to the police, that would damage her reputation, which was secondary, but as a member of the Lan family, it could affect the Lan Group.
