He wasn't dissatisfied with Chu Lan, but Zhang Qian and Chen Feng were too arrogant, especially Zhang Qian. Over the years, he had spoiled her so much that she was lawless and always thought she was superior to him. Although he was the young master of the Xu family, he was also a person with flesh and blood.

Moreover, back then, he was a pampered young master who lowered himself to be humble in front of a woman for so long for the sake of so-called true love, always playing the role of a clown by her side, making her used to bossing him around and treating him like a human being. Under such circumstances, even he needed to release his inner repression. Even a petty person who gains power will have his chickens and dogs rise to heaven, let alone him, who is not a petty person.

Let's reject internal strife, starting today.

Today he insisted on using Chu Lan to suppress the arrogance of the two of them. Call him petty if you want, he'll just enjoy himself first!

However, some people just wouldn't let him have his way. When Zhang Qian heard this, she rushed up and slapped Xu Tian across the face.

The crisp sound lingered in the Xu Group for a long time. After that slap, there was complete silence. The receptionist didn't even dare to breathe. They had only one thought in their minds: they were finished!

"If you want to die, go back to where you're going to die, don't embarrass me here!" Zhang Qian trembled with anger.

Xu Tian tilted his head slightly, his anger surging up. He couldn't remember how many times Zhang Qian had slapped him, especially in public. But things were different now. He didn't love her anymore, so he had to follow one principle: whatever was imposed on you, you had to return it.

"Clap clap clap!"

Three slaps rang out in succession, and Chen Feng covered his cheek in shock.

"How dare you fucking hit me!"

Zhang Qian was stunned. She never thought Xu Tian would hit her. He never would, he never would, and he never would. Although he didn't hit her, those three slaps felt like they were hitting her.

Xu Tian, ​​on the other hand, looked at Zhang Qian with a cold expression and said, "I don't hit women, so I can only hit your man twice as hard."

"You...you are simply unreasonable!"

Zhang Qian's eyes instantly reddened. No matter how proud she was, she couldn't accept that Xu Tian had hit someone, especially Chen Feng in the face.

"You apologize to Chen Feng right now! Immediately! Right now!"

Xu Tian looked at her indifferently, but that one glance sent a chill down Zhang Qian's spine. She had never seen such a look in Xu Tian's eyes before. No matter how unreasonable she had been in the past, Xu Tian now seemed like a completely different person, which filled her with fear.

An apology is necessary!

"But he's definitely not the one who should apologize!"

As Chu Lan stepped out of the elevator, his aura was fully unleashed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he walked much faster than usual.

Xu Tian raised an eyebrow. It's finally over. But if she had been any faster, she wouldn't have had to take that slap. What a damn bad luck!

When Chu Lan appeared, Zhang Qian's arrogance was instantly suppressed. In terms of presence, the two were not even in the same league.

"Mr. Chu... Mr. Chu, why did you come down here in person? We can just go up. We are truly flattered by your kindness," Zhang Qian said with a forced smile.

"If I don't come down, are you going to tear down my Xu Group building?"

Chu Lan spoke with an air of authority without anger.

Zhang Qian turned pale with fright. "No...no, it's all a misunderstanding."

Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian. Although Zhang Qian was a woman, Xu Tian was fair-skinned and the handprint was still there. A hint of concern showed in her eyes.

"To act so recklessly on my turf, is this how Hengtong Group seeks favors?"

Zhang Qian was struggling to cope, and her legs even felt weak. At the critical moment, Chen Feng, who was beside her, helped her up.

"President Chu, this is their family matter. We had absolutely no intention of offending them. Please listen to our explanation, considering how much they have served the Xu Group over the years."

Chu Lan sneered, "Family matters?"

Chen Feng quickly nodded, "It was indeed a family matter. I lost my composure in the heat of the moment. Please don't take offense, President Chu."

As he spoke, Chen Feng tugged at Xu Tian, ​​"Quickly apologize to President Chu, we can talk about it when we get home."

Xu Tian patted the corner of his clothes that he had just touched with disgust. "What's there to apologize for? I don't need to apologize to anyone!"

"you……"

Zhang Qian was about to get angry, but with President Chu present, she could only say in a deep voice, "Xu Tian, ​​stop making a scene. Let's go home and talk things over, okay? Quickly apologize to President Chu."

"He's right."

He doesn't need to apologize to anyone!

Chu Lan's lips parted slightly, her gaze turning cold. "Did you hit him just now?"

Zhang Qian looked at Chu Lan in shock, "President Chu, you...you might have misunderstood."

As she spoke, Zhang Qian glanced at Xu Tian before continuing, "He is my husband. He offended your company with his rude remarks just now. I was afraid he would make another mistake, so I hit him in a fit of anger. I absolutely did not intend to cause trouble at the Xu Group."

"Snapped!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a crisp slap followed. Zhang Qian covered her cheek in shock, speechless with astonishment.

At this moment, the anger in her heart had long since vanished with the slap, replaced by an inexplicable fear. Why did Chu Lan hit her? Was it because she caused trouble at the Xu Group? Or was it because…?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian looked at Xu Tian with resentment. Although she had to beg the Xu Group for everything, it didn't mean she had no self-respect, especially in front of two men who loved her so much.

Xu Tian would never stand by and watch her get beaten without doing anything. Things had already escalated to this point and were probably beyond repair. This slap had completely shattered her dream of continuing to rely on the Xu Group. She might as well go all out and let Xu Tian vent her anger. Even if she was blamed in the end, she could just push all the responsibility onto Xu Tian.

At this moment, she desperately wished that Xu Tian would stand up and say a word for her, and protect her as fiercely as before.

Just this once, Xu Tian, ​​if you protect me this one more time, I will forgive you for what you did before.

Zhang Qian's inner monologue was incredibly complex at this moment, but Xu Tian's inaction also broke her heart to the extreme.

"Just because he doesn't hit women doesn't mean I can't!"

Every word Chu Lan uttered struck Zhang Qian's heart like a hammer blow.

Seeing that Xu Tian remained unmoved, Zhang Qian forced herself to look at Chen Feng, hoping to ask him for help. However, Chen Feng was already terrified and offered no words of comfort, let alone any protection.

"Go up first."

Xu Tian glanced at Chu Lan indifferently and then walked into the elevator on his own. Chu Lan gestured for the receptionist to send the two away, and then entered the elevator.

"Good fight!"

The moment the elevator doors closed, Xu Tian gave Chu Lan a thumbs up.

Chu Lan dared not relax and watched Xu Tian cautiously.

"You...you don't blame me. I thought you would be angry with me..."
