Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

Zhang Qian was taken aback, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I will pay back the money you borrowed from me. It's not that I want you to help me unconditionally."

Zhao Lei scoffed, "Hengtong Group is not what it used to be. Even if I could lend it to you, how would you pay it back? On your own?"

As he spoke, his frivolous gaze swept over Zhang Qian, "I told you, you're not worth this price."

Zhang Qian's self-esteem had been completely worn down in such a short time, but Zhao Lei had been one of her many suitors before, and had never spoken to her like that before. Suddenly, her self-righteous pride began to take over.

"If that's the case, then forget it."

As Zhang Qian was about to leave, she grabbed her arm and then slapped the one million yuan she had prepared onto the bed.

"Think carefully, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether this million is too much or too little, you should weigh the options in your mind."

Zhang Qian's eyes reddened, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.

That million was like a hot potato, causing her self-esteem and dignity immense suffering. She abruptly shook off Zhao Lei's hand, her eyes flashing with unwavering determination.

"Zhao Lei, do you think money can buy everything? Let me tell you, there are some things you can never afford to give!"

After saying that, she turned and strode towards the door, slamming it shut and shutting out her broken state.

At the crucial moment, it was Zhao Jing's words that woke her up. If she sold her body for money, Xu Tian would never forgive her after they got together. A mere 100 million yuan was definitely not as valuable as the money Xu Tian brought her.

Why would Zhao Jing help her? Zhang Qian couldn't understand it at all. Was it because she hated Xu Tian for not being able to have her?

Xu Tian, ​​Xu Tian, ​​if I had known you were so popular, I shouldn't have divorced you so easily, and I shouldn't have hurt you for that scumbag Chen Feng!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's heart was already riddled with holes. She had always thought that she had one foot in high society, but reality slapped her awake. Let alone a hundred million, she couldn't even borrow a million now!

……

At the Xu Group, Chu Lan was looking at the mountain of documents in front of her. These were all things she had secretly investigated. Ever since she learned that the Mei Yi Group was targeting Xu Tian, ​​she had been on edge, fearing that Lin Wan'er would make a move against Xu Tian.

After leaving Zhang Qian's house, Xu Tian barged into her office without calling her, startling her so much that she hurriedly put away the documents.

"What are you doing? I've noticed you've been very busy lately, and you're coming home very late. I only see you in the evenings."

Xu Tian approached her suspiciously, his intuition telling him that Chu Lan was definitely hiding something.

Chu Lan smoothed her hair and said calmly, "Such a big company is bound to be busy. I was so focused on dating you that I put aside a lot of things at the company. And with the annual summary coming up soon, we have to report the data to headquarters, so I'm even busier."

Xu Tian didn't quite understand this, but seeing Chu Lan working so hard all the time made him feel sorry for her, so he didn't tell her about Zhang Peng's situation and could only investigate it himself.

"So Meiyi Group hasn't been making any moves lately. I really don't understand what they're up to," Xu Tian said casually.

Chu Lan smiled and said, "It's the end of the year, and everyone is busy with data analysis, so naturally no one has time for business battles."

Xu Tian nodded, then added, "Let's leave early today. I found a really good Western restaurant that I'm sure you'll like it!"

To prevent Xu Tian from noticing anything amiss, Chu Lan readily agreed. She couldn't possibly read through all the documents in a short time, so she decided to save them for tomorrow.

The two hadn't eaten out alone in a long time, so they both took this date very seriously. During the meal, they kept quiet about anything that made them unhappy.

Just as the two were enjoying this rare moment of peace, Xu Tian's phone vibrated at an inopportune time, and the name "Zhao Jing" flashed on the screen.

Xu Tian glanced at Chu Lan subconsciously, then frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he answered the phone. A hint of jealousy flashed in Chu Lan's eyes.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jing told Xu Tian about Zhang Qian's meeting with Zhao Lei, and Xu Tian nodded in agreement from time to time.

"Where are you now? It's been so long since we had a meal together. How about we get together?"

Xu Tian glanced at Chu Lan and then said, "Not today, let's do it another day."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tian continued to serve food to Chu Lan as if nothing had happened. Chu Lan was displeased and put down her knife and fork.

"Is that Zhao Jing? Is something wrong with her?"

Xu Tian casually replied, "She just told me about the project. You know, I haven't been over for several days because of the moving."

Chu Lan's mood eased a bit. "I've been really busy lately, so let's finish up what we're doing and then go abroad for the New Year, shall we?"

"foreign?"

Xu Tianxia frowned subconsciously. He hadn't been home for many years, let alone spent the New Year with his parents. This year, he wanted to go back, firstly to sincerely apologize to them for his ignorance, and secondly to spend some quality time with them.

Chu Lan was just saying it casually. Anyway, whether it's the New Year or not, she's always been alone. She can go home for the New Year every day, but she still doesn't know who her biological parents are, let alone go home.

"Okay, I was just saying. It's all the same no matter where you spend the New Year."

Xu Tian looked at her seriously and asked, "Do you want to spend the New Year abroad?"

Chu Lan shook her head and smiled. She didn't want to become a burden on Xu Tian's mind. Besides, Xu Tian hadn't been home for many years. She couldn't be inconsiderate at this time. In any case, she had always spent the New Year alone. She wasn't uncomfortable spending the New Year alone again this year.

"How about this, you come home with me for the New Year, and after the New Year we'll go on vacation abroad to relax?" Xu Tian said with a half-smile.

Chu Lan was stunned, a blush rising to her cheeks. Did this mean the two of them were going to formally meet each other's parents? Although she had already met Xu's mother, she had gone as an employee, which was completely different. This was so sudden; she wasn't prepared at all.

Seeing her hesitation, Xu Tian pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay, I was just teasing you. I know you're not ready."

Even so, a hint of suspicion arose in his heart. Chu Lan's unwillingness to go home with him for the New Year meant that she had no intention of having a long-term relationship with him, and that she had not thought clearly about whether she wanted to stay with him forever, get married, and have children.

Suddenly, the shadow that Zhang Qian had cast over him resurfaced. After all this time, would he be the one left behind again?

"I was thinking, for this first formal visit, do I need to prepare anything, and what etiquette and customs should I pay attention to?" Chu Lan said with a smile.
