Zhang Qian paused, pushed Xu Tian away, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"How...how could you say that about me?"

"Isn't that right?" Xu Tian retorted.

Zhang Qian gritted her teeth and looked at him, "Anyone can say that about me, but you can't. You love me so much, why do you have to hurt me in such a hurtful way?"

"I've already told you, everything before was a misunderstanding. Do you think I would have explained this to you in the past?"

"Can't you just quit while you're ahead? Do you have to push me away and then regret it?"

Despite saying all that, Xu Tian remained expressionless.

"Did I ask you to explain? Did I say I would regret it?"

Zhang Qian was almost going crazy. She had never seen Xu Tian so emotionless before. For a moment, she didn't know how to handle the situation. Did she really have to lower herself and beg Xu Tian for reconciliation?

The company's crisis still needs to be resolved. Whether it relies on the help of the Xu Group or the help of Xu Tian's house, it cannot bypass Xu Tian!

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian rarely showed a pitiful, girlish demeanor in front of Xu Tian. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to speak but tears were already flowing, which was really heartbreaking. It was just a pity that the person she was talking to was not Xu Tian.

"Xu Tian, ​​shall we go back to the room to talk?"

Xu Tian looked disgusted. "What are you going back to your room for? Or what do you want to do?"

"We're married, so of course we can do whatever we want."

As she spoke, Zhang Qian pulled Xu Tian toward the room, but Xu Tian shook off her hand. "Are you like this in front of Chen Feng too?"

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then she understood. All the problems stemmed from Chen Feng. Xu Tian's overreaction this time was also because he was jealous of Chen Feng. This made things much simpler. As long as Xu Tian still loved her, she would have a way to control him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian explained, "Of course not. He's just my secretary. Our relationship is completely innocent, and he would never do anything that goes beyond that."

Xu Tian laughed. She never went home, and when she did, she was either completely drunk, practically clinging to Chen Feng. Yet she shamelessly claimed to be innocent. Besides, it was none of her business who she was with now, whether she was innocent or not.

However, being bothered like this for so long wasn't going to work. Fortunately, the person who was supposed to view the house was coming tomorrow, so he quickly sold the house, pocketed the money, and left.

Seeing that Xu Tian remained silent, Zhang Qian assumed he was already recovered, and felt overjoyed, which boosted her confidence in her own charm.

She knew Xu Tian wouldn't be able to resist her persistent pleading, after all, she rarely acted like this with Xu Tian before. However, once Xu Tian calmed down, she would still have to teach him a lesson and not let him get away with what he had done!

"Since you don't want to go back to your room to talk, let's sit down in the living room and talk."

Having achieved her goal, she no longer needed to lower herself to go to Xu Tian's room to talk, especially since she had no interest in him anyway.

To prevent her from pestering him further, Xu Tian didn't say anything more and plopped down on the sofa.

Zhang Qian said with a smile, "Tell me, how did you and Chu Lan meet?"

Xu Tian was about to retort, but then he thought that getting rid of her as soon as possible was the most important thing. He couldn't hit a woman, especially since the divorce was imminent. If he lost control and hit Zhang Qian, then the divorce wouldn't be so easy for him.

However, he couldn't directly tell Zhang Qian his true identity.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian casually made up a reason.

"I knew her before, but I didn't know she was from the Xu Group."

Zhang Qian was overjoyed. This made things much easier. Judging from today's situation, the two not only knew each other but also had a good relationship. This meant her company was saved. However, she couldn't appear too dependent on Xu Tian, ​​or he would take advantage of her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian said coquettishly, "You didn't stop her from hitting me today, and my cheek still hurts now."

Xu Tian couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it; Chu Lan's actions today inexplicably made him feel very satisfied.

"Is this all you wanted to tell me?" Xu Tian asked, suppressing his inner joy.

Zhang Qian was taken aback, then added, "It's not that I'm asking you to cause her trouble. After all, she's in a certain position, and you're no match for her."

"It's just that the company has run into problems, so you definitely have to side with me. I'll leave this matter to you."

Xu Tian understood the implication: he was being asked to act as a go-between. Zhang Qian naturally shared the same thought. She had always called Xu Tian useless, and now that she finally had a chance to use him, he would definitely run off to do her bidding and then come back to curry favor with her.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian felt secretly pleased. All Xu Tian wanted to do was sleep with her, right? She could just get rid of him then and there. Whether he would give in or not was another matter. That's how she had been doing all these years anyway.

Xu Tian shook his head. "I probably can't handle this. Chu Lan is the kind of person who always has her own principles when it comes to business. If we anger her, the company might not be able to continue operating."

He would never help Zhang Qian with anything; saying this was also a threat, telling her to stop trying to take advantage of him.

"Didn't you always say that you couldn't help much at the company and that I was working too hard? Now you've finally proven yourself to me. How will you know if you don't try?" Zhang Qian was unwilling to let this opportunity slip by.

Xu Tian remained silent, too tired to say anything more about where his confidence came from.

Zhang Qian's tone gradually turned cold, "If the Chu Lan connection doesn't work out, there's another one. Selling this house can solve the company's immediate problem. Give me the property certificate tomorrow, and I'll list it with a real estate agency."

Xu Tian was shocked; he hadn't expected Zhang Qian to have designs on this house!

Fortunately, she had made preparations in advance and entrusted the matter of selling the house to Chu Lan. Moreover, someone was already going to come and see the house tomorrow. But since she so naturally assumed that she would be able to sell the house, then fine.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian gave Zhang Qian a rare smile.

"Tomorrow afternoon, I've forgotten where I put the property certificate, I'll have to look for it carefully."

Zhang Qian had just shown her joy when she felt it was beneath her dignity, so she said...

"Yes, the company can be saved as long as the house is sold. However, this will only solve the immediate problem. If you are really willing, you should try to communicate with Chu Lan."

"You've always thought I admire successful people, so take this opportunity to show me your usefulness. Maybe then I'll reconsider our relationship, and I won't divorce you."
