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

"Xu Tian..."

Zhang Qian called out to him gently, hoping he would offer her a seat. After all, she had been standing for a long time, and with so many people around, she felt like a waitress, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Xu Tian glanced at her briefly before turning to Chu Lan and saying, "We'll need to promote more people in Xusheng Group in the future."

Chu Lan nodded, flattered. "Of course, after all, Young Master Xu... Xu Tian... you and I have been friends for many years, this little favor is nothing."

Xu Tian smiled and nodded. Chu Lan was Chu Lan after all; he could guess what Xu Tian meant without Xu Tian saying a word.

Seeing the two of them chatting animatedly, those who couldn't even get a word in with Chu Lan became envious and surrounded Zhao Jing.

"Didn't you say that Xu Tian was your date today? Who is he? How did he manage to talk to President Chu?"

"Yeah, yeah, at first I thought he was just a gigolo trying to get close to you, a rich woman, and live off you. Now it seems I was so naive..."

"Mr. Zhao, if you have the chance, you must put in a good word for him. We were blind to his greatness just now and we think we didn't behave well. Otherwise, could you please ask him out alone so we can apologize?"

The commotion was giving Zhao Jing a headache. She had initially only been playing around with Xu Tian, ​​not taking it too seriously, just wanting to get revenge on Zhang Qian. But now…

Zhao Jing glanced at Xu Tian, ​​who was chatting enthusiastically with Chu Lan, and a feeling she couldn't understand well arose in her heart.

Putting aside the fact that he is Zhang Qian's ex-husband, does she really have no feelings for Xu Tian at all?

"Mr. Zhao, please give us an answer. We're begging you, you can't expect us to go to your father, can you?"

Zhao Jing snapped out of her daze and said, "No problem, I've got it covered!"

Hearing her say that, everyone smiled with satisfaction, and soon several business deals that Zhao Jing couldn't get came to her door.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but feel happy. Although she was the apple of Zhao Group's eye, the family business had always been passed down to men, not women. So even though Zhao Lei was incompetent, her father was still willing to devote all his efforts to him, while treating her like a lucky charm.

Although she was given a pitifully small number of shares in the Zhao Group and a company with decent profits, the outside world already knew many things. Therefore, in many cases, she was passive and could only pick up the resources that Zhao Lei had left over.

Moreover, she and Zhao Lei belong to a blended family. After Zhao Lei's biological mother divorced his father, she remarried, which led to the birth of Zhao Jing.

With such a high divorce rate nowadays, divorced and remarried families are not uncommon, but wealthy families like Zhao Jing's father's are more complicated than ordinary families.

Especially considering that Zhao Jing's mother had been married into the family for so many years and had given birth to her, she still failed to gain the approval of her father's family, namely Zhao Jing's grandmother.

Zhao Jing's grandmother always believed that it was Zhao Jing's mother's appearance that caused her son to fall apart and her grandson Zhao Lei to become homeless. For many years, she has believed that Zhao Jing's mother is a vixen and even told Zhao Jing's father directly that he should never allow this vixen to step into the house. Because of this, Zhao Jing is also not accepted. For many years, she has never even seen what her grandmother looks like.

Everyone only saw her glamorous side, but they didn't know the hardships behind it. Her mother couldn't hold her head up in the family because of this, and she had to cater to Zhao Lei in everything, treating him even better than her own daughter.

Zhao Jing didn't blame her. Being in such a wealthy family, it was normal to be unable to control one's own destiny. But whenever Zhao Jing saw her mother trying to please her at home, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

She knew exactly what had happened, and had even asked her father about it in person.

After his divorce, his father met Zhao Jing's mother more than a year later and they quickly got married. However, because of the whirlwind marriage, everyone thought that her mother had seduced his father. But when Zhao Jing asked her father to clear her mother's name, he just laughed it off.

Only then did she realize that a daughter could never compare to a young woman, and her mother could never compare to the first wife.

Now, such a good opportunity is right in front of her. Regardless of her true intentions towards Xu Tian, ​​the two can achieve a win-win situation by cooperating. She can use Xu Tian's acquaintance with Chu Lan to help her company, and she can also change her rigid father's opinion of her. Who says women are inferior to men? She is determined to give it a try!

With this in mind, Zhao Jing became adept at navigating social situations, downing glass after glass of red wine. She didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but right now she needed to secure as many cooperative projects as possible.

"General Manager Zhao is here!"

Someone spotted Zhao Jing's father, Zhao Pengfei, and called out. Everyone rushed over, including Zhao Jing.

"Dad, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for ages!"

At this moment, Zhao Jing nestled against Zhao Pengfei like a well-behaved girl, and Zhao Pengfei couldn't stop smiling.

"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. I'll punish myself with three drinks later."

As he spoke, Zhao Pengfei looked sharply in Chu Lan's direction and said, "You all have your drinks first, I'll entertain the VIPs first."

Everyone was sensible enough to greet Zhao Pengfei and then disperse to do whatever they were doing. Zhao Jing, on the other hand, had a legitimate reason to follow behind Zhao Pengfei.

Following behind Zhao Pengfei was Zhao Lei, who whispered a reminder, "Go where you're supposed to go. Didn't you see Dad has to entertain Chu Lan?"

Zhao Jing smiled and said, "I know, that's precisely why I want to broaden my horizons!"

Zhao Lei snorted, "What kind of brains could a woman have?"

After saying that, Zhao Lei didn't waste any more words with her, and the two of them followed one after the other.

Zhao Pengfei was not someone Zhang Qian could easily meet. Chu Lan alone was already enough to make her tremble with fear, and now Zhao Pengfei had come along. Zhang Qian awkwardly stepped aside, biting her lip and remaining silent.

Then he looked at Xu Tian and was surprised to find that Xu Tian was still sitting there as if nothing had happened. Even if he knew Chu Lan, he shouldn't be so reckless. He should at least get up and greet Zhao Pengfei!

However, she was too ashamed to say anything to Xu Tian now, after all, she had been standing for almost an hour and hadn't even had a sip of water.

"President Chu, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I was delayed by company matters and apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Zhao Pengfei glanced at Xu Tian without showing any emotion, perhaps wondering who he was that he could be on equal footing with Chu Lan.
