Lan Ruoruo opened her mouth but couldn\u2019t come up with a rebuttal.<\/p>\n

Back when Zhan Wei had just taken over the company, Lan Ruoruo saw potential in his leadership and anticipated the company\u2019s future success. Determined to stop it early, she tried to crush his efforts while the company was still in its infancy. She frequently targeted him\u2014snatching his clients and stealing his business opportunities.<\/p>\n

Even under her constant pressure and interference, Zhan Wei successfully steered the company through adversity. He truly was a capable man.<\/p>\n

No wonder his boss had been willing to transfer half of the company\u2019s shares to him. Without Zhan Wei, the company wouldn\u2019t be what it is today.<\/p>\n

With Zhan Wei holding shares, he would be even more invested in managing the company well. Meanwhile, the boss, despite only retaining half the shares, could relax and still earn significant returns.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo couldn\u2019t help but admire the boss\u2019s foresight and business acumen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Lan, you hit me and left my face swollen. I could have gone to the police and gotten a medical examination. I could have made you pay for my treatment. But all you said was \u2018sorry\u2019\u2014and that\u2019s it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei clearly wasn\u2019t planning to let her off the hook that easily.<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo fell silent.<\/p>\n

He had every right to treat her this way.<\/p>\n

After a brief pause, Lan Ruoruo finally relented. \u201cI\u2019ll have someone bring some ice for your face to reduce the swelling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She pulled out her phone and called her secretary, instructing her to bring an ice pack.<\/p>\n

When the secretary asked what it was for, Lan Ruoruo simply said not to ask questions and just get it done.<\/p>\n

After ending the call, she turned to address everyone in the caf\u00e9. \u201cPlease don\u2019t misunderstand\u2014this man is not my husband. He and I are just business competitors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I lost to him, I got angry. When I saw him treating his sister-in-law to coffee, I deliberately caused a scene to ruin his reputation and used the chance to slap him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was wrong. I sincerely apologize to Mr. Zhan and want to clarify that there\u2019s no truth to the accusations. Mr. Zhan is single and doesn\u2019t even have a girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m truly sorry for disturbing everyone earlier.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, Lan Ruoruo offered a public apology to everyone present, and especially to Zhan Wei.
\nLan Ruoruo apologized to everyone, then offered a formal apology to Zhan Wei.<\/p>\n

\u201cZhan Wei, I\u2019ve asked my secretary to bring an ice pack. Once it arrives, apply it to your face\u2014it\u2019ll help reduce the swelling quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n

After speaking, she nodded apologetically at Haitong, turned around, and prepared to leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhan Wei called out to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cLan Ruoruo, look at my face\u2014it\u2019s red and swollen from your slap. Do you think an ice pack alone makes up for that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo turned back and looked at him. \u201cWhat more do you want?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

If he dared push her further, she\u2019d show him exactly how she handles people like him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou caused the swelling, so naturally you should help reduce it. When the ice pack arrives, I want you to apply it yourself\u2014until the swelling goes down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo: \u201c\u2026Zhan Wei, don\u2019t push your luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

She spoke through clenched teeth, her voice low, but Haitong still caught her tone and sensed her frustration.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the one who slapped me. If my face is swollen, it\u2019s only fair that you help fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOr I could just call the police and let the world see how unreasonable and arrogant the Lan family\u2019s eldest daughter really is. I bet you\u2019d make tomorrow\u2019s front page.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Lan, this is what happens when someone can\u2019t accept defeat. If word gets out, I wonder who would still dare to do business with you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Lan Ruoruo: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She suddenly regretted slapping him\u2014it had backed her into a corner.<\/p>\n

Of course, Zhan Wei wouldn\u2019t actually call the police, because that would damage her reputation. But that wasn\u2019t what worried her most. What she truly feared was how her actions might impact the Lan Group\u2019s public image.<\/p>\n
