"Ahem! Come to think of it, I also know some important people!"

"Oh?"

When they saw him suddenly speak, they all turned their attention back to Zhang Xing.

Zhang Xing exclaimed with unparalleled superiority, "Our company is about to face a tremendous opportunity! We're going to be acquired by the Meng Group!"

Gan Qi: He just told her about this.

Meng Yan: ? ? ? ?

Wenwen: Although I don't know if this is true, I'm grateful that he changed the subject!

Seeing the surprised looks from the others at the table, Zhang Xing became even more smug.

"You should know the Meng Group, right? It's the biggest conglomerate in our city! They own half the city!"

Gan Qi and Wen Wen, of course, knew this, and they both glanced at Meng Yan without prior arrangement.

Gan Qi was speechless.

But to avoid an awkward atmosphere, Wenwen took the initiative to say, "Of course I've heard of it. Your company must be very powerful to be acquired by the Meng Group!"

Zhang Xing noticed Meng Yan's indifferent and unmoved expression and sneered inwardly:

This man must be feeling guilty!

I can't compare to him in terms of looks, but in terms of ability, I can easily crush him!

Zhang Xing asked Meng Yan with a half-smile:

"Oh, I just realized you also have the surname Meng! How come other people with the surname Meng have such auspicious and prosperous lives, while you have such an ordinary one?"

"Ok?"

Meng Yan lowered his eyebrows and gave him a cold look, his eyes as cold as ice.

Given my status, there's absolutely no need for me to pay attention to someone like that! I never expected him to go out of his way to provoke me?

Gan Qi and Wen Wen, who were standing to the side, both looked a little nervous.

Gan Qi didn't want Meng Yan's identity to be exposed, knowing it would bring endless trouble.

Wenwen once again proved to be a master at defusing awkward situations:

"Oh dear, there are so many people with the surname Meng, of course they come from all walks of life!"

Zhang Xing: "Once our company successfully merges into the Meng family, my salary will increase significantly, and I might even get promoted quickly! If I can become the general manager of a branch, a million-dollar annual salary is no problem!"

Wenwen: "That's amazing! I wish you success!"

Meng Yan scoffed.

Hmph, the Meng family frequently acquires companies; to them, it's as commonplace as eating.

As the president with the most say in the company, no matter which company is acquired, he only glances at the evaluation report in the meeting and then signs it.

The remaining procedures are handled by a dedicated department.

If Zhang Xing keeps acting so cocky, we'll fire him first!

Seeing Meng Yan's reserved silence, Zhang Xing became even more arrogant:

"Look at how capable that guy surnamed Meng is, while you, surnamed Meng, are going through a divorce with your wife..."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly plummeted to freezing point.

These words had almost escalated into a personal attack, and Meng Yan's heart sank.

Even Gan Qi, who was standing to the side, showed a look of disgust.

"Zhang Xing, how can you talk like that?"

Wenwen also felt that his words were inappropriate:

"Yes, how could you say such a thing? It's a private matter between husband and wife, and outsiders have no right to judge it."

Realizing he had angered many, Zhang Xing quickly apologized repeatedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was careless for a moment, I didn't mean anything by it! I'm just regretful... if we're not meant to be, it's better to part ways sooner rather than later, besides..."

His voice grew softer and softer, and he was subtly making veiled, suggestive remarks:

"Generally, women only insist on divorce when a man has some kind of defect..."

"Snapped!"

Meng Yan slammed his hand on the table.

This person clearly thinks life is too easy and is eager to find fault.

With just a word from him, he could make Zhang Xing experience the pain of losing a leg.

However, before he could get angry, Gan Qi slammed her hand on the table!

"Zhang Xing! People need to have a sense of boundaries with each other, don't you understand???"

She said angrily, "Mr. Meng and I want a divorce because we're incompatible. Please show some respect! Don't make baseless assumptions! Although we're separated, we're still husband and wife, and even more so, friends. Please watch your words!!!"

Seeing Gan Qi suddenly get so angry, Zhang Xing became a little intimidated.

"Okay, okay, I know, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Gan Qi was on his side, Meng Yan's anger subsided considerably.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Fortunately, Zhang Xing lacked self-awareness, and his low emotional intelligence remarks actually managed to make his wife side with him.

Yes, my wife definitely has feelings for me!
