"This is impossible!"

Zhang Qian kept shaking her head, firmly believing that all happiness was above money.

"Poverty-stricken couples face a hundred sorrows," a saying she firmly believed in.

Seeing this, Zhao Jing knew that she couldn't understand, so she didn't discuss these things with her anymore. After all, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Women like Zhang Qian always think that all crows are black, using this to deceive themselves and believe that they are not wrong and that all women in the world are like this.

In this way, she could feel at ease enjoying Xu Tian's care while brainwashing herself, which led to her becoming the person she is today.

"Aren't you hungry? Look, this is braised pork that Xu Tian made himself. Haven't had it in a long time, have you?"

After saying that, Zhao Jing opened the box and took a deep breath.

"Wow, it smells so good! You're lucky to have such a delicious meal today!"

As she spoke, Zhao Jing handed the braised pork to her.

Zhang Qian was so angry that she flipped the box over, and the braised pork fell to the ground.

Zhao Jing sighed with heartache, "Do you know how long it takes to make braised pork? It's so troublesome, it's such a waste!"

Zhang Qian snorted coldly, "It's just a meal of braised pork. Do you think that's a favor Xu Tian did for you? You're really pathetic."

"Why do you like feeling superior so much? Life is about being down-to-earth."

Zhang Qian remained silent, simply watching as she cleaned up the braised pork on the ground and then threw it into the trash can.

After cleaning up, the two stared at each other blankly.

Just when he was feeling utterly bored, Chu Lan suddenly appeared in the ward.

Zhao Jing quickly stood up. "Idol, what brings you here? Where's Xu Tian?"

She kept glancing outside as she spoke; she hadn't apologized to Xu Tian yet.

Chu Lan smiled slightly at her, "I'm here today to discuss something important with her."

Zhao Jing was very sensible and obediently sat on the other side, and then Chu Lan sat down next to Zhang Qian's bed.

Zhang Qian was full of hostility towards Chu Lan. It was her appearance that stole Xu Tian away and the man who loved her the most!

"What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me? Or to kick me when I'm down?"

Chu Lan's expression was solemn as he slowly spoke, "Zhang Qian, I'm here to discuss the transfer of Hengtong Group's shares with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian's expression changed drastically, and a hint of panic and resentment flashed in her eyes.

She sat up abruptly, glaring at Chu Lan. "What did you say? Why should I?! That's what I deserve! I can't transfer the shares to you!"

Chu Lan looked at her intently, "I know you're not feeling well right now, and I shouldn't be talking to you about this at this time."

"but!"

Chu Lan changed the subject abruptly, "Lin Wan'er has already made her move; she wants to kick you out of the game!"

Zhang Qian's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although Meiyi Group officially acquired Hengtong Group, Lin Wan'er promised her that she could retain her shares, which could be considered a benefit for her defection.

If Lin Wan'er kicks her out now, it means that the last shares she has will also be taken away by Lin Wan'er. Even if she is unwilling, Lin Wan'er will use various means to force her to give in.

That's why Chu Lan came.

Once the shares are taken over by the Xu Group, the Xu Group can take the opportunity to forcefully take back Hengtong Group. Even if Lin Wan'er has a way, she won't be able to react in a short time.

But why should she try to curry favor with Chu Lan?

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian sneered, "So what? What makes you think I would transfer my shares to you?"

Chu Lan sighed softly, took a document from her briefcase, and gently placed it in front of Zhang Qian.

"This is the equity transfer agreement, take a look."

Zhang Qian pushed the documents away, "I won't look at them, and I won't let you have your way!"

Seeing this, Chu Lan was not annoyed, but instead analyzed the pros and cons with reason and evidence.

"Lin Wan'er has obtained sufficient evidence to prove your misconduct within the group."

"Furthermore, now that you're sick, she has a million ways to get those shares for free. Continuing to harass her won't do you any good."

"In that case, not only will you not get a single penny, but you'll also be kicked out of the game. Are you sure?"

Chu Lan didn't need to elaborate on Lin Wan'er's methods; she was well aware of them.

The shares she holds are worth at least tens of millions. If she doesn't get a single penny in the end, she will have suffered a great loss.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian picked up the agreement with trembling hands. Lines of cold text came into view, like sharp blades cutting into her heart.

Her eyes gradually reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"You... I know how much my shares are worth. How much are you planning to give me?"

Chu Lan gestured for her to look closely at the numbers on the share transfer agreement.

Zhang Qian's trembling fingers finally slid to the most crucial number on the equity transfer document. At that moment, her pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had been stabbed by something.

The numbers on it were more than double what she had expected, or even more.

She looked up, her eyes filled with shock and confusion, and her voice trembled slightly as she looked at Chu Lan.

"Is...is this real? Why...why are you willing to give so much?"

Chu Lan's gaze was both gentle and resolute.

"This is a sign of respect for what you have done."

Zhang Qian's eyes finally broke down, and tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, she looked like a clown. She and Chu Lan were clearly rivals in love, and Chu Lan could have taken the opportunity to exploit her, but he didn't.

It was my own petty-mindedness that led me to judge a gentleman.

That's why Zhang Qian felt ashamed.

Zhang Qian couldn't understand it. Her eyes reddened, and she bit her lower lip tightly, as if she wanted to pour out all her resentment and doubts.

"Tell me, are you doing this out of pity for me? Or... are you afraid that I might actually be able to win Xu Tian back one day?"

Chu Lan shook her head gently, a complex emotion in her eyes.

"You're overthinking it. I never pity anyone, including you. As for Xu Tian, ​​I have that confidence."

"I would never try to please you out of fear; that would be an insult to me and to Xu Tian."

"I'm giving you these because I respect your contributions to Hengtong Group and thank you for your past efforts."

Hot tears streamed down Zhang Qian's cheeks as she gripped the equity transfer agreement tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force.

Every word Chu Lan uttered was like a heavy hammer blow to her heart, leaving her unable to refute or escape.

After a long while, Zhang Qian's fingers trembled as she signed her name on the agreement and then handed it to Chu Lan.

"I will have the finance department transfer the money for the equity transfer to your account within three days."

After giving his instructions, Chu Lan looked at Zhao Jing and said, "I'll be going now. Come to my house for dinner sometime."

Zhao Jing smiled and nodded. Chu Lan then looked at Zhang Qian, opened her mouth but said nothing, and prepared to turn and leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Qian suddenly called out to her.
