Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Feeling Jealous
"Aren’t you disgusted by your own words?" Zheng Xiaohan retorted with a cold smile. "How thick-skinned do you have to be to come find me again and say such shameless things?"
Hearing Zheng Xiaohan’s merciless insults, Zhou Jieyang almost lost control and wanted to slap the bitch across the face.
But he remembered his purpose for coming here today. He also knew how much he stood to gain if he completed his mission, so he forced down his anger, put on a smile, and spoke sickeningly sweet words. "Xiaohan, I know my foolish actions hurt you deeply. I caused you immense pain, and I’ve been living with guilt this whole time. I’ve thought it over and over, and I felt I had to come and apologize to you in person. I’ve also realized that the most important things in life aren’t empty things like power and status, but having someone by my side whom I love and who loves me..."
"Zhou Jieyang, that’s enough!" Zheng Xiaohan cut him off, flushed with anger and embarrassment. "Have you already forgotten the pain? Wang Chenning is here today. Do you want to see him again?"
Hearing that Wang Chenning was here, Zhou Jieyang was given a huge scare.
Still, he braced himself and said, "Xiaohan, I came today to repent to you. I hope you can forgive me. You were the first girl I ever fell in love with, and the only one I’ve ever truly loved. I know I broke your heart, and for that, I am truly sorry. If you don’t want to see me right now, I’ll leave immediately. But I still hope you’ll take care of yourself. Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight recently. I hope you’ll always stay healthy and beautiful. Uh, if you’re busy, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll come see you again!"
As he spoke, Zhou Jieyang gave Zheng Xiaohan a look full of deep affection, wiped his eyes, and left dejectedly.
Watching Zhou Jieyang leave, Zheng Xiaohan’s face fell.
Even though Zhou Jieyang had broken her heart, he was still someone she once loved. It was impossible to be completely indifferent seeing him again.
His words today had seriously affected her mood, so much so that she had no idea what to do next.
After leaving Li Garden Hall, Zhou Jieyang took out his phone and made a call.
"Young Master Zhu, I went to Li Garden Hall. That bitch was cold to me, but I’m sure I can still find an opportunity. I’ll definitely find the right chance to get the job done. As long as it’s done, even if Wang Chenning doesn’t care about her, it’ll be enough to disgust him."
The person on the other end of the line listened and then said, "What you’re doing now, and what you’re going to do, is just a personal grudge between you two. It has nothing to do with me, understand?"
"I understand, Young Master Zhu!" ’So shameless,’ Zhou Jieyang cursed internally, but he didn’t dare voice any accusation. Instead, he reaffirmed his determination, "I will definitely get it done. I just hope Young Master Zhu doesn’t forget what you promised me!"
"Don’t worry. I won’t go back on what I promised you, as long as you can get the job done!" The other party didn’t waste any more words with Zhou Jieyang and hung up.
Li Mingchao left after finishing his meal with Wang Chenning.
As soon as Li Mingchao was gone, Zheng Xiaohan went to find Wang Chenning.
She took the initiative to tell Wang Chenning about Zhou Jieyang’s visit.
Zheng Xiaohan knew she couldn’t hide this from Wang Chenning. It was better to confess proactively than for him to find out from another source.
After explaining, Zheng Xiaohan said to Wang Chenning very seriously, "I’ve already sent him away, and I won’t let him into Li Garden Hall ever again!"
Wang Chenning didn’t show much of a reaction, simply replying with a placid expression, "That’s your own business. I trust you can handle your own affairs."
Wang Chenning’s attitude made Zheng Xiaohan’s heart tighten. She quickly gave another assurance: "I’ll never have anything to do with him again. From now on, we’re strangers!"
Wang Chenning nodded and asked Zheng Xiaohan about her father.
"His health isn’t good, so I had him admitted to the hospital. He’ll stay for a while to undergo some necessary check-ups and treatments. After he recovers and is discharged, I’ll give him another sum of money." After talking about her father, Zheng Xiaohan also prepared to return the 1.5 million Wang Chenning had lent her.
"Just hold on to it for now, in case you need it for an emergency." Wang Chenning waved his hand, telling her not to rush. "I’ll be transferring some more money into your account later. I’ll need to use your account for some less critical fund transfers."
"Okay, then!" Zheng Xiaohan quickly agreed.
Wang Chenning didn’t ask her anything else and let her get back to her work.
Just as Wang Chenning was about to leave Li Garden Hall, he received a text from Yang Xiaofei: "You’re at Li Garden Hall?"
Wang Chenning’s fingers flew as he texted back: "I am! What are your orders, President Yang?"
Yang Xiaofei: "Just happened to be passing by Li Garden Hall. Are you willing to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Wang Chenning didn’t reply to the message. He ran straight outside.
At the entrance, he saw Yang Xiaofei’s Rolls-Royce Phantom parked there, with her assistant, Lv Qinglan, standing beside the car.
As Wang Chenning walked over, the Phantom’s rear window rolled down, revealing Yang Xiaofei’s devastatingly beautiful face.
"President Yang, your presence brings light to my humble establishment!" Wang Chenning said with a wide smile, looking at Yang Xiaofei. "I’ve had the best tea prepared. Please, Miss Yang, deign to grace us with your presence."
After speaking, he smoothly opened the car door and made an inviting gesture.
"I’m not a VIP member of Li Garden Hall. I was afraid the staff wouldn’t let me in!" Yang Xiaofei looked at Wang Chenning with a half-smile. "I just didn’t expect President Wang himself to come out and greet me. I’m truly overwhelmed!"
’These two are completely addicted to putting on a show,’ Lv Qinglan thought from the side, full of contempt.
As Yang Xiaofei followed Wang Chenning into Li Garden Hall with alluring grace, Lv Qinglan, walking behind, quickly sent a text message: "She came to Li Garden Hall in person to see the guy surnamed Wang!"
After sending the message, she immediately deleted it and quickened her pace to catch up.
But unexpectedly, just as they reached the entrance, Yang Xiaofei stopped, turned, and ordered Lv Qinglan, who had just caught up, "Just wait in the car."
Lv Qinglan’s expression changed slightly, but she still obeyed respectfully. "Yes, Miss Yang!"
Hearing that a distinguished female guest had arrived—one whom Wang Chenning himself had gone out to greet—Zheng Xiaohan, who had been busy, hurried out as well.
On her way out, she even took a moment to fix her makeup.
She was usually quite confident in her looks, but the moment she saw Yang Xiaofei, that confidence instantly popped like a soap bubble. An overwhelming sense of crisis welled up in her heart.
Zheng Xiaohan had felt threatened by Luo Yuqing and Zhao Xiao’an before, but that feeling was nowhere near as intense as what she felt upon seeing Yang Xiaofei.
’This woman is too beautiful, too elegant. She’s like a queen.’ The moment she saw her, Zheng Xiaohan felt utterly inadequate.
Yang Xiaofei saw Zheng Xiaohan as well. She studied her for a few moments before turning back to Wang Chenning. "I didn’t realize the President of Li Garden Hall was so beautiful. Teacher Wang, you have great taste!"
Yang Xiaofei’s words filled the deeply shaken Zheng Xiaohan with a sudden sense of pleasant surprise.
But what she didn’t expect was for Wang Chenning to reply with, "Getting jealous?"
