"Mr. Lin, as you can see, this person is really too difficult to deal with..."

The bar owner, fearing the wrath of the owner, hurriedly said...

Lin Wan'er withdrew her gaze and said to him indifferently, "Get lost!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The bar owner and his men hurriedly left the scene.

Xiao Qi then said, "Boss, we'll wait for you outside..."

As she spoke, Xiao Qi and her bodyguards stood guard outside the door.

Lin Wan'er gracefully and calmly approached Xu Tian's side.

"Alone?" she asked casually.

Originally, she just had a craving for alcohol and didn't want to drink at home because it lacked atmosphere. Besides, she didn't have many friends in Jiangcheng, so she thought of finding a bar.

I never expected to run into Xu Tian here.

After Chen Feng's incident and Xu Tian's separation, the two hadn't seen each other for more than half a month.

However, the two were rivals, and she had indeed used some methods to deal with the Xu Group. After this operation, she had even less chance to contact Xu Tian.

Lin Wan'er was still overjoyed to have met Xu Tian, ​​but Xu Tian was oblivious to her feelings and was drinking at the storefront.

Lin Wan'er was displeased. "Do you know that this drink can warm people's hearts, but it can also chill them to the bone?"

As she spoke, she gently took the wine glass from his hand. The crystal-clear liquid shimmered under the light, as if reflecting the loneliness in his eyes.

Lin Wan'er put the wine glass aside, picked up a glass of water from the table, handed it to him, and took a small sip of the wine she had taken from Xu Tian.

Xu Tian frowned, "Who are you? Mind your own business!"

Lin Wan'er chuckled lightly, "What? Could it be that you've been hit hard because of the Mei Yi Group?"

Xu Tian then turned his gaze to her face, and when he saw who it was, a flash of disgust crossed his eyes.

Lin Wan'er naturally noticed his emotions and was taken aback.

What did she do? She simply launched a new product that caused losses to the Xu Group, but isn't that just normal business competition?

Does this mean I've come to despise myself because of these few days?

If that's really the case, then Xu Tian is such a loser, he doesn't deserve to be her man at all!

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er's gaze became cold and distant.

"It seems I overestimated you!"

Xu Tian sneered, "People like you who can treat human lives as a joke, who do you think you can respect?"

Faced with Xu Tian's questioning, Lin Wan'er was completely confused. What was wrong with him?

Lin Wan'er's eyes flickered slightly, and she parted her lips slightly, "Everything in this world has its price. You and I are in the business world, and we can't avoid getting entangled with it. But if you're so disgusted by this, why not step out of this small place and find a peaceful haven?"

"Easy for you to say!" Xu Tian sneered.

Lin Wan'er continued, "Power itself is neither good nor evil; it is like a double-edged sword, capable of harming or protecting people."

"The key lies in the heart of the one who wields the sword. What you despise may not be power itself, but those who are blinded by power and have lost their true selves."

"But why impose the faults of others onto those in power? If you have ambition, you should learn to control it, not run away from it. In this dimly lit place, which lamp is not a beacon of power? The key is whether you want to be the lamplighter or a lonely shadow under the lamp."

She herself didn't know why she said these words, but looking at Xu Tian, ​​who was troubled by power, she felt a little sorry for him.

After all, she always believed that people are born into different classes, and no matter how much she tried to escape, she couldn't change reality.

Moreover, if you don't use your power to bully others, someone will surely use their power to bully you in the future.

Xu Tian chuckled coldly, "You mean, the dividing line between people starts with amniotic fluid?"

Lin Wan'er gently shook her head, "What you are suffering from is what most people dream of. If you can truly transcend it, I, Lin Wan'er, will be the first to applaud you!"

For some reason, the expression on her face when she said those words made Xu Tian's heart tremble slightly.

Throughout his life, although he despised power struggles, wasn't he the same way?

If he were just an ordinary person instead of the young master of the Xu family, he would probably have been eliminated long ago. How could he have met Chu Lan, let alone solved problems for the people he cared about?

Thinking of this, Xu Tian let out a heavy sigh.

His current behavior is like trying to have your cake and eat it too.

He takes the benefits of power for granted, but when he sees the dark side, he scoffs at it. How is this any different from Zhang Qian's behavior?

At this moment, Xu Tian suddenly understood, and even sobered up considerably because of it.

Although Lin Wan'er was ruthless, she was indeed more insightful than him in some aspects.

"Thank you."

For the first time, Xu Tian did not treat her as a competitor.

Lin Wan'er smiled gently, "So can you tell me what happened?"

Xu Tian waved his hand dismissively, "After today, we will still be rivals, so there's no need for pretense!"

After saying that, Xu Tian left the bar feeling relaxed.

"you……"

Lin Wan'er was both angry and annoyed. She had finally managed to see him, but he didn't take her seriously at all. No one had ever dared to treat her like this before!

When Xiaoqi saw that only Xu Tian came out of the bar, she instinctively stopped him.

"What? Still want to fight me?"

Xu Tian's expression grew increasingly cold.

After all, the two had already fought several times, and Xiao Qi had no chance of winning.

Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where's the boss?"

"Let him go!"

Lin Wan'er's voice came from the bar, and Xiao Qi withdrew her hand, letting Xu Tian leave.

"Boss, are we just going to let him go like that?" Xiao Qi asked after going inside.

Lin Wan'er snorted coldly, "Otherwise what? Can you beat him or can I beat him?"

Xiaoqi lowered her head and remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "I will try my best!"

Lin Wan'er ignored her and asked again, "What happened to Zhang Qian?"

Xiao Qi solemnly reported the situation to Lin Wan'er, whose expression changed slightly before she revealed a smile of anticipation.

……

Zhang Qian woke up at home looking exhausted. She didn't know who had changed her clothes, and no one was home.

She got up with a splitting headache and shook her head.

She didn't drink any alcohol, so what did she do yesterday to be so tired?

"mom?"

Zhang Qian tentatively called out, but when she received no response, she had no choice but to get out of bed and go to the living room to get a glass of water.

While she was getting a drink of water, Li Cui returned looking flustered.

"Mom, how did I get back yesterday?" Zhang Qian asked.

Li Cui's eyes darted around, and she stammered for a long time before finally being unable to speak.

Zhang Qian asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"I remember going out to see President Gu yesterday, and then I have no recollection of anything. Did you change my clothes? Was I drunk yesterday?"

Li Cui quickly replied, "Ah...yes, that's right, you came back completely drunk..."

"That's it..."

Zhang Qian ruffled her hair haphazardly. "I really don't remember what happened yesterday. Did I tell you whether the cooperation with President Gu was finalized?"

Li Cui blurted out abruptly, "No...it seems like you said no!"

"Really?" Zhang Qian looked at Li Cui scrutinizingly.
