After the divorce, my ex-husband's cousin tricked me into getting a marriage certificate.

Su Yani was stunned, then her eyes widened in anger.

Xu Qing realized something was wrong; the tigress was about to unleash her fury, so he turned and ran.

He rushed into the house, closed the door, and locked it.

The movements were very swift and precise.

Lin Mengchuan came out of the room and looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Did you see a ghost?"

Xu Qing patted his chest, "A woman more terrifying than a ghost."

Lin Mengchuan frowned: ...

Xu Qing walked over and patted Lin Mengchuan on the shoulder sympathetically. "Brother Chuan, I'm on a diet, so I won't be going to dinner with you tonight. I hope you and Miss Su enjoy your meal. I'm going back to my room to catch up on some sleep. Don't worry about me."

Just as Lin Mengchuan was about to scold Xu Qing for being disloyal, the other party had already rushed into the house and locked the door.

When it was time for dinner, Su Yani came and knocked on the door.

Lin Mengchuan opened the door and saw that Su Yani had changed her clothes, redone her makeup, and even sprayed perfume.

Just as Lin Mengchuan was about to say he was going to lose weight and wouldn't eat, his phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Su Wenshan.

"Why did your dad call me?" Lin Mengchuan asked Su Yani.

Su Yani shook her head, feigning innocence.

Lin Mengchuan had no choice but to answer the phone, "Uncle Su, hello."

Su Wenshan: "Meng Chuan, have you arrived at the resort? Are you all settled in?"

Lin Mengchuan: "We arrived a long time ago and are settled in."

Su Wenshan: "That's good. I'll leave Ya Ni in your care. She's been spoiled at home, and I'm really worried she won't be used to going out. Please take good care of her for me, and especially make sure she eats well."

"She's always skipping meals to lose weight, that's not good. She's not fat at all, don't you think?"

Lin Mengchuan: "Yes, Uncle Su, I will keep an eye on her and make sure she eats dinner."

Su Wenshan: "Thank you, Meng Chuan. I'm relieved. You two go have dinner now. I won't bother you any longer."

Lin Mengchuan hung up the phone and glanced at Su Yani, who was smiling smugly at him.

Lin Mengchuan knew that Su Yani must have asked Su Wenshan to call him, so that he wouldn't be able to refuse her.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mengchuan walked towards Xu Qing's room and knocked on the door twice.

No movement.

Lin Mengchuan was annoyed and slapped the ground a few times, but there was still no response.

"You bastard Xu Qing, just you wait! If you have the guts, don't ever show your face again in this lifetime," Lin Mengchuan cursed under his breath.

He turned around and walked back to Su Yani's side.

He went out without looking to the side.

Su Yani quickly turned around and followed, kindly closing the door behind her.

Xu Qing heard the door close before opening it and peeking out before looking down at his phone.

The page remained on the message dialog box that Su Yani had sent him.

Su Yani: "If you want to stay and work in Zhuohai, then leave here. Make up your own excuse."

"Brother Chuan, don't blame me. I want to stay in Zhuohai with you," Xu Qing murmured softly, then turned and went into the house to get his luggage.

This time, Su Yani was smarter. She called the front desk from inside the room and ordered a sightseeing bus to pick them up.

The two got into the car and arrived at the restaurant in two minutes.

Lin Mengchuan was the first to jump out of the car and headed straight into the restaurant.

Su Yani got out of the car with a dark face, thinking that this guy really had no gentlemanly manners at all, and didn't even know to help her out of the car.

She walked into the restaurant, where Lin Mengchuan had already found a corner to sit down and was taking the menu to order.

Su Yani sat down, picked up another menu to look at it, and asked casually, "What did you order?"

Lin Mengchuan replied, "I'll order mine, you order yours."

Su Yani paused for a moment, then awkwardly recited a few dishes to the waiter.

After the waiter left with the menu, Su Yani looked at Lin Mengchuan and asked, "Is this how you usually treat others?"

Lin Mengchuan: "What is my attitude?"

Su Yani: "With your current attitude..."

Lin Mengchuan: "I've always been this way, don't expect me to change."

Su Yani was silent for a while, then asked again, "When do you plan to hold the engagement banquet? My dad hopes it will be before the Spring Festival."

Lin Mengchuan: "Since you've already made up your minds, why are you asking me?"

Su Yani: "This is our engagement party, so of course I need to ask for your opinion. What if you don't agree?"

Lin Mengchuan: "Can I object? Since I can't object, what's the difference between asking and not asking? You can hold it whenever you want, I'm just responsible for attending."

Su Yani stared at Lin Mengchuan for a few seconds, then picked up the lemonade beside her and took a big gulp to suppress her anger.

She thought for a moment and said, "Lin Mengchuan, if you really don't want to marry me, then just tell my dad directly instead of throwing good intentions at me. I, Su Yani, don't owe you anything, and I don't want to indulge you."

"Also, don't think that just because you've become the chairman, you can rest easy."

Lin Mengchuan squinted at Su Yani, "Are you threatening me? Su Yani, do you know what I hate most? I hate being threatened, especially by women."

Su Yani: "What? Which other woman has threatened you? Your ex-wife, or the woman who cheated you out of money?"

Lin Mengchuan's face turned ashen, and he stared intently at Su Yani.

Su Yani, however, showed no fear.

She smiled dismissively, "Lin Mengchuan, do you know what? You're really naive. With your carefree attitude, do you think the shareholders will believe you can run Zhuohai?"

"To tell you the truth, more than 80% of the shareholders in the company don't have a good opinion of you. They've all told my dad frankly that they hope he will be the chairman of the board."

"If you want to protect Zhuo Hai, then act like a man and be more mature!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengchuan immediately adopted a nonchalant smile. "Miss Su, you scared me. Why are you so serious? Don't forget, we're here to build a relationship, not to discuss work."

Su Yani thought her scare tactic had worked, so she softened her tone and said, "I'm just disappointed in you, Lin Mengchuan. One day you'll be grateful for my and Dad's good intentions."

Lin Mengchuan: "I am very grateful for everything you have done for me now, without having to wait until later. You are right, if it weren't for your father's support, I would not have been able to become the chairman of the board."

"Don't worry, I, Lin Mengchuan, am a man of conscience. I have seen everything you have done for me."

He was given the chairman's position, but Su Wenshan took over all the projects.

Lin Mengchuan, the chairman, has become a figurehead.

Su Yani didn't know how much of what Lin Mengchuan said was true and how much was false.

When the waiter came to serve the food, she shut her mouth.

After the waiter left, Su Yani realized that none of the dishes she ordered overlapped with Lin Mengchuan's.

It's obvious that the two have completely different tastes.

Su Yani remained calm, picked up her chopsticks and ate, wanting to see if Lin Mengchuan would serve her food and take care of her.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Mengchuan started eating on his own, nodding as he ate, "The taste is not bad."

Su Yani gave up all her fantasies about Lin Mengchuan. She looked down on herself a little. How could she have fallen for such a scumbag?

She had no expectations for their future marriage.

She comforted herself, thinking that if Lin Mengchuan remained the same after marriage, she would find a way to remove him from his position as chairman.

Then her father, Su Wenshan, became the chairman of Zhuohai.
