Huang Li sat still, smiling faintly. \u201cBoss Zhan, you\u2019re angry. I was only joking,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang responded coldly, \u201cYou insulted my sweetheart right in front of me, and you expect me to smile and thank you? Miss Huang, that wasn\u2019t a joke. In your heart, you believe my Mengmeng is inferior to you in every way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn reality, you\u2019re the one who\u2019s inferior to Mengmeng in every aspect. That\u2019s why you\u2019re jealous and resentful, always looking for a chance to put her down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not joking with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Huang, I don\u2019t care what your real reason is for coming here today. I have no interest in you. I\u2019m not interested in any woman other than Mengmeng. Please leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t, I\u2019ll call security to escort you out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat wouldn\u2019t reflect well on you, Miss Huang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huang Li\u2019s smile faded slowly as she looked at Zhan Yiyang.<\/p>\n

He stared back at her, his gaze cold and unfeeling.<\/p>\n

The disgust in his eyes was clear.<\/p>\n

Huang Li\u2019s pride was wounded by his obvious disdain.<\/p>\n

She was, after all, the daughter of the Huang family. While the Huang family wasn\u2019t as powerful as the Du family, it was still a prominent one in Haicheng.<\/p>\n

Though she wasn\u2019t as naturally beautiful as Du Yumeng, she believed that after several cosmetic procedures, her looks now matched Yumeng\u2019s.<\/p>\n

She had taken the initiative to express her feelings to Zhan Yiyang, hoping to start a relationship. But he had never given her a chance\u2014he even disliked her, which deeply hurt her pride.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoss Zhan, I was wrong earlier. I apologize. I shouldn\u2019t have said those awful things about Yumeng.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI came today to seek cooperation with President Zhan. The Huang family business is also substantial. I believe our families could collaborate for mutual benefit. If we can\u2019t be lovers, at least we could be friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huang Li softened her tone and changed her approach.<\/p>\n

But Zhan Yiyang remained unmoved. \u201cI won\u2019t do business with Miss Huang. You\u2019re Yu Meng\u2019s mortal enemy. I love Yu Meng\u2014why would I ever partner with her enemy?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I\u2019m a businessman, and I value profit. But if I must choose between business and Yu Meng, I\u2019ll choose Yu Meng every time. She matters more to me than any deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll never be friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t ever be friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease leave, Miss Huang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang had allowed Huang Li in mainly to get a good look at her\u2014so that when navigating Haicheng\u2019s upper-class circles in the future, he could recognize her and stay vigilant, avoiding any traps or schemes she might attempt.<\/p>\n

In love, he allowed no room for even a grain of doubt. If he were ever tricked or manipulated by another woman, his relationship with Du Yumeng would be over for good.<\/p>\n

She was the woman he truly loved. If he couldn\u2019t marry Yu Meng, then he would never marry anyone. He was prepared to remain a bachelor for life.<\/p>\n

Besides, his parents had three sons. Even if he never married or had children, his parents could still become grandparents through his brothers. His eldest brother was already married, and his younger brother would marry eventually.<\/p>\n

If he stayed single forever, his parents would respect his choice.<\/p>\n

Of course, Zhan Yiyang was doing everything he could to marry Du Yumeng. He didn\u2019t want to remain single.<\/p>\n

His deepest emotional desire was to love someone and spend the rest of his life with that person.<\/p>\n

\u201cZhan Zong\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang made a dismissive gesture toward Huang Li.<\/p>\n

It was time for her to leave.<\/p>\n

If she didn\u2019t go, he would call security to escort her out.<\/p>\n

Huang Li took a few deep breaths. Though irritation flared inside, she kept a polite expression. Standing up, she said, \u201cSorry to have disturbed you, Mr. Zhan. I\u2019ll leave now. I hope I\u2019ll have the chance to treat you to a meal another day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you plan to do business in Haicheng, it\u2019s better to have one more friend than one more enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, she picked up her bag, pulled out the chair, and left.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Huang.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Yiyang called out.<\/p>\n

Huang Li paused and turned around, thinking he might have changed his mind. But to her surprise, Zhan Yiyang pointed to the gifts she had brought and said coldly, \u201cPlease take your things with you. If you leave them, I\u2019ll throw them in the trash.\u201d<\/p>\n
