Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 130 Women 3: Like Wolves and Tigers
For a moment, the charity event was completely silent as everyone stared at this unknown young man.
Although Chu Lan revealed Xu Tian's identity as the president of the Xu Group at the birthday banquet, Chu Lan hadn't invited many people to the banquet in the first place. In addition, Xu Tian always kept a low profile, so not many people recognized Xu Tian's identity. Instead, they saw Chu Lan standing next to him.
Chu Lan is a household name in Jiangcheng, known as the city's number one beauty. Moreover, she manages one of the city's top companies. So, Xu Tian's arrogance is not without reason.
However, by flaunting her identity as a woman, she was looked down upon by many people present.
"So what? I think you're just jealous. Ask yourselves honestly, who wouldn't want to have a peerless beauty like Chu Lan and gain both fame and fortune? If it were you, could you resist the temptation?"
However, someone stood up to support Xu Tian and said something.
Meng Haoran was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on and said with a knowing smile,
"With Sister Lan's strength, no one dared to compete with her once she made a move."
The words were clearly mocking Xu Tiangou for abusing his power.
Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian and said, "It's too expensive! This jade is not worth ten million!"
Xu Tian remained unmoved and insisted on acquiring the pair of jade earrings. The mere piece of jewelry had already fetched a high price of ten million, causing everyone to shake their heads in disapproval, and the jewelry ended up in Xu Tian's hands.
Chu Lan couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Where do you get that much money? Wait for me to go back and get my card!"
Xu Tian smiled and took her hand, then took out a black bank card with gold trim that he had never used in Jiangcheng and handed it to her.
"Swipe your card!"
Meng Haoran watched from the side with a sneer. He simply couldn't believe that a man who lived off a woman could have so much money swiped from his card.
Contrary to expectations, with a beep, Meng Haoran's hopes were dashed. Chu Lan was initially surprised, but then she realized that Xu Tian was, after all, the one who would inherit the great cause in the future, and besides, Jiang Wanyi, who was Xu Tian's mother, was not short of money.
"Don't spend money like that in the future, it's not worth it," Chu Lan said.
Xu Tian smiled without saying a word and personally helped Chu Lan put on the jade earrings he had won at the auction.
Meng Haoran, feeling extremely jealous, said, "These earrings aren't worth that much money at all. Only someone who doesn't know anything about jade would be so foolish. Ten million could buy jade of much higher quality."
Xu Tian's eyes narrowed, a disdainful smile playing on his lips, as he slowly turned to Meng Haoran.
"You're wrong. The value of jade is never determined solely by its texture and price. What truly makes these earrings priceless is who they are meant to complement."
“In my eyes, my girlfriend Chu Lan is priceless. I don’t even consider your so-called ‘seed’ or ‘value’. These earrings on her are worth more than a thousand pieces of gold.”
As he spoke, Xu Tian looked tenderly at Chu Lan.
Chu Lan was deeply moved, her eyes slightly reddening, and she gave Xu Tian a big hug. At that moment, the air was filled with a sweet and happy atmosphere.
Seeing this, Meng Haoran was so angry that he almost lost control of his facial expressions, so he could only force a smile and say...
"I never expected that Sister Lan would like such a smooth-talking man. I always thought that only a learned man who doesn't conform to worldly ways is worthy of you, Sister Lan."
Although Chu Lan had never been in a relationship, she could tell from Meng Haoran's repeated provocations that he was being difficult. Chu Lan frowned and looked at Meng Haoran, saying...
"I am just an ordinary person. Only the wearer knows if the shoe fits. There's no need for outsiders to say anything."
Meng Haoran was taken aback, then gave an apologetic smile, "Sister Lan, you've misunderstood me, I just..."
"Let's go, Xu Tian, let's go get some Western food!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Lan ignored his explanation and happily took Xu Tian's arm as they left.
Meng Haoran clenched his fists, stood still, and stared intently at the departing figures of Chu Lan and Xu Tian, a wave of bitterness rising in his heart.
Memories flooded back. On that sunny afternoon in high school, Chu Lan walked into the classroom with a warm smile. She was a beacon of light, illuminating his dark world as she sponsored impoverished students.
From that moment on, Chu Lan quietly took up residence in his heart, becoming the most untouchable secret in his heart.
He studied hard, got into a good university, and started his own company, all in the hope that one day he could be worthy of her and stand by her side.
So before he achieved fame and success, he chose to bury his feelings deep in his heart. But he never expected that because of this, another man would beat him to it!
In his heart, no one but himself was worthy of Chu Lan.
At this moment, watching her intimately with Xu Tian, Meng Haoran felt as if his heart was being pierced by a thousand needles. His clenched fists trembled slightly, and a look of determination and resentment flashed in his eyes.
So what if we're together? So what if we're officially in a relationship? As long as we're not married, he still has a chance!
Thinking of this, Meng Haoran lost interest in participating in the event and left in anger.
Western restaurant.
Xu Tian thoughtfully cut the steak and pushed it in front of Chu Lan.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. The money's already gone, and thinking about it now will only make you feel worse."
Chu Lan took a bite of steak. "I was very touched by what you said today, but you have to promise me that you won't be so impulsive in the future, and you have to discuss everything with me."
Xu Tian smiled and nodded, "I understand, but that Meng Haoran seems to have other feelings for you."
Men understand men best, just as women can tell at a glance if a man is surrounded by a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), but men can't sense it. So Xu Tian was afraid that Chu Lan couldn't see through Meng Haoran, so he subtly reminded her.
Chu Lan replied without hesitation, "Impossible. I'm so much older than him. In terms of age, we're not a good match."
“He’s only five years old. People are already looking for fathers for themselves these days, so age is not a problem at all,” Xu Tian insisted.
Chu Lan put down her knife and fork and looked at him seriously. "Speaking of which, I'm three years older than you. Don't you mind?"
Xu Tian raised the corners of his mouth, "A woman three years older than a man is like a golden brick, I'd better hold on tight to your coattails!"
Chu Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud, then worriedly said, "But I can clearly feel that both my body and appearance are starting to decline. A man is in his prime at thirty, and I'm afraid that in a few years I won't be good enough for you."
Xu Tian shook his head. "Don't talk nonsense. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Women at thirty are like wolves and tigers, and at forty they suck the soil dry. There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that is over-plowed'?"
Chu Lan kicked him under the table, "Who was talking to you about that!"
Seeing Chu Lan's blushing cheeks, Xu Tian couldn't help but smile.
"Actually, I knew that day was your first time."
Chu Lan looked around in a panic, then blushed and said with a pounding heart, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xu Tian smiled without saying a word. After the two had their first time together, Chu Lan fell into a deep sleep. He originally wanted to torment her again, but when he lifted the blanket, he saw that bright red stain.
