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

Only then did the shop assistant have a chance to speak.

"A belt worth 37,000 yuan."

belt?

Everyone looked at Xu Tian with knowing glances.

"Is this the one for me?" Xu Tian asked directly.

The shop assistant quickly shook his head, "It's a women's belt."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Chu Lan looked on in surprise.

Among them, Xu Tian was the least influential and unknown. Even without being named, they naturally assumed that Xu Tian was the one who stole it.

"Are you sure it's just a belt, and a woman's belt at that?" Zhang Qian asked, still unwilling to give up.

The sales clerk nodded. "I'm sure. When I came out, the manager said that I had to take this belt back, and that I would have to pay for any damage. If I couldn't take it back, it would be deducted from my salary."

No wonder the shop assistant insisted on coming in. What does she know about business management and gatherings? All she knows is whether she can keep her job and whether she has any money left.

"Is it the one she's wearing?"

Chu Lan pointed her slender, jade-like finger at Zhang Qian's waist. A delicate women's belt accentuated Zhang Qian's figure, making her even more shapely. But wasn't this belt part of the dress itself?

Zhang Qian looked at the shop assistant helplessly, wishing that the shop assistant would come out and explain at this moment.

"This is the one. If it's convenient for you, please take it off now so I can take it back to the store for damage assessment."

The shop assistant's words left Zhang Qian feeling utterly dejected. She never expected that she would be the one to lose face in the end. But clearly, no one told her that she needed to pay for the dress when she bought it. The belt was already attached to the dress when she tried it on, so she naturally assumed it was part of the set. Moreover, they didn't remind her when she paid.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian didn't know how to explain; no one would believe her...

"Go back and tell your manager to put this belt on my tab," Chu Lan said.

Zhang Qian looked at Chu Lan in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise. Although such a thing had already embarrassed her greatly, Chu Lan's timely intervention at this moment at least prevented her from having to take off her belt and return it to the shop assistant in front of everyone.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell the manager right away." The clerk left politely.

At this moment, Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian, ​​who gave her an approving look. He hoped that Zhang Qian would regret it and pay the price, but he did not want to do so in a way that would humiliate women. Call him moral or call him heartless, he would only do what he thought was right.

Besides, Zhang Qian has already lost face, so there's no need to do anything unnecessary.

"You see, it was all a misunderstanding. Mr. Chu, please take a seat?" Zhao Lei asked cautiously.

Chu Lan nodded and sat down on the sofa not far away. Zhao Lei gave Zhao Jing a wink and then quickly followed. Zhang Qian, still reeling from what had just happened, was only thinking about thanking Chu Lan and hurried after her as well.

"Well done, Xu Tian! You've been keeping a low profile all along!"

"You have no idea, I was almost scared to death! I was so afraid you'd embarrass yourself!"

Zhao Jing's exaggerated panting amused Xu Tian.

"You're still laughing? I really thought you went and stole Zhang Qian's clothes to get revenge on her. Do you know how much it hurt when I said I'd pay for you?" Zhao Jing said irritably.

Xu Tian said with a smile, "It's your fault for thinking I'm so useless. But whatever you say, it sounds much better coming from you than from Zhang Qian."

Because he knew in his heart that Zhao Jing would never look down on anyone, and what she said openly and frankly was much better than Zhang Qian's roundabout way of calling him a good-for-nothing.

Thinking of this, Xu Tian added, "You should take me around to meet people quickly. I'm counting on building more connections."

Zhao Jing rolled her eyes at him, took his arm, and began to walk through the crowd, introducing Xu Tian to them.

On the sofa...

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chu, for your help just now. I... I wasn't in such an embarrassing situation..." Zhang Qian said with a bitter smile.

Chu Lan looked at her calmly, "We're all women, you don't need to thank me. Besides, you and Xu Tian were husband and wife, so as a friend, I'll help you with this."

Does Xu Tian know Chu Lan?

With a loud bang, Zhao Lei was so embarrassed that he almost scratched his toes raw. He had been so careful, but he still hadn't guessed the powerful backer behind Xu Tian. Moreover, he seemed to have offended Xu Tian just now in order to make the beauty smile.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei hurriedly said, "You...so Xu Tian is your friend. No wonder I could tell he had an extraordinary air about him when I saw him in the crowd."

"Anyone who can become your friend must be an exceptional person!"

Zhang Qian felt very uncomfortable hearing these words. Since when did she need Xu Tian to support her when she went out? Moreover, Xu Tian did not do this intentionally.

But she did receive a favor from Chu Lan.

"What do you think?" Chu Lan suddenly looked at Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian gave a forced smile, "I think so too. Xu Tian... Xu Tian is truly an outstanding person... I was blind to have divorced him..."

Zhang Qian's voice grew softer and softer, and her head drooped lower and lower. She probably never imagined that she would one day praise Xu Tian in public...

With Chu Lan sitting there, Zhao Lei didn't dare to be negligent at all, and then said, "My father will be here soon, please wait a moment."

With that, Zhao Lei left Zhang Qian and rushed out to make a phone call. Although Chu Lan was a woman, she was always decisive and efficient in the business world, and he couldn't handle her.

At this moment, only Chu Lan and Zhang Qian remained, with Chu Lan sitting down and Zhang Qian standing.

"President Chu, I think Xu Tian has already explained the previous misunderstanding to you, right?" Zhang Qian said cautiously.

Chu Lan gave a faint "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Zhang Qian didn't dare to breathe loudly, let alone try to start a conversation, so she could only stand there awkwardly.

After a while, Xu Tian got tired of socializing and noticed that no one was sitting on the sofa where Chu Lan was. He shook off Zhao Jing's hand and went over to her.

Zhao Jing quickly grabbed him, "What are you doing! Even my father can't afford to offend Chu Lan, you greenhorn, don't offend him."

Xu Tian smiled and said, "I'm tired. I'm going to rest over there for a while. Do you want to come over?"

Zhao Jing quickly waved her hand, "Go ahead and do it, Dad. If you really offend Chu Lan, don't expect me to bail you out!"

Xu Tian didn't say anything, walked straight to Chu Lan's side, and then sat down with a thud.

Everyone saw this move. When Zhao Jing introduced Xu Tian to them, they were disdainful. What Xusheng Group? They had never heard of it. It was obviously a small startup company. They had only exchanged postcards out of respect for the Zhao family. But Xu Tian's actions made everyone secretly speculate.

What exactly is his relationship with Chu Lan?
