“Ye Zhenzhen, how dare you humiliate me?” After saying that, Xiao Qinke wanted to slap Ye Zhenzhen. However, Zhou Tingyang deliberately stepped forward and held Ye Zhenzhen’s shoulder so that Xiao Qinke would succeed. With a loud bang, everyone in the hall turned their heads to pay attention to the movement in the lounge.
Ye Zhenzhen was slapped by Xiao Qinke. Her cheeks turned red and began to swell.
Seeing this, Xiao Qinke was satisfied, and Zhou Tingyang also let go.
However, in the next moment, Ye Zhenzhen threw the entire teacup at Xiao Qinke’s face. She pointed at Zhou Tingyang, who was about to take action against her and warned him, “If you dare to move again, I will tell everyone that you plagiarized the thesis. I’ll make your Zhou Group proud.”
Xiao Qinke screamed in pain, but fortunately, the water was not too hot. Otherwise, she would not have let the matter rest today.
Zhou Tingyang held it back. He could only hug Xiao Qinke and comfort her. “It’s okay, Ke’er. It’s okay.”
The manager was watching from the side. When Ye Zhenzhen was slapped, he wanted to come out and help. After all, Lin Wanli had told him that no one was allowed to spread rumors and cause trouble in her territory. However, he did not expect Ye Zhenzhen to be so explosive.
However, after the warning, Ye Zhenzhen regained her composure and sat down on the chair with her swollen cheeks.
“Don’t embarrass yourself here. The engagement has just been annulled, and you’re already bringing your new love to trample on your old flame. It’s not a wise move. This is the reason why the Zhou family will never be recognized by the wealthy. Zhou Tingyang, you will never know that you have the shell of a young master from a noble family, but your soul is brainless and hypocritical. You clearly have no ability, but you want to be pretentious. I’m all alone now and have nothing, so I advise you not to lose the wealth you’re about to obtain. The gains do not make up for the losses.”
Zhou Tingyang did not expect Ye Zhenzhen to become such a tough nut to crack.
Could it be that she had become fearless because she had nothing?
“I brought Ke’er here because I want you and your mom to get out of Jinchuan. How much do you want? Name your price.”
Ye Zhenzhen snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Tingyang with a mocking look in her eyes.
How could someone be so overconfident?
“Sure.” Zhou Tingyang answered happily.
At this time, Ye Zhenzhen turned her head and looked at the manager. Then, she said, “Please tell him how much my room costs per night.”
The manager replied, “Hello, Sir. Miss Ye’s suite is 54,000 yuan per night.”
Zhou Tingyang’s face darkened.
“Then how long can I stay in the temple?”
“As long as the temple doesn’t close down, you can stay as long as you want,” replied the manager.
Ye Zhenzhen was satisfied with the answer. She turned around, looked at Zhou Tingyang, and asked, “President Zhou is so generous. You can’t even afford this, can you?”
Zhou Tingyang didn’t say anything.
“If you can’t afford it, don’t embarrass yourself here. If you don’t have the ability, don’t act like a b*tch. It’s so embarrassing. Isn’t it embarrassing in front of your new lover?” After that, Ye Zhenzhen stood up from her chair.
Before she left, she said to Zhou Tingyang one last time, “Don’t be so childish, Zhou Tingyang. You always say that your parents don’t approve of you, but you always hide behind others. Hiding behind your parents, I can understand, but hiding behind a woman is really despicable. If I were your father, even I wouldn’t be able to agree with your behavior.”
After that, Ye Zhenzhen turned around and left. She did not miss Zhou Tingyang at all.
The manager immediately sent someone to deliver ice cubes and told Ye Zhenzhen that the skincare products in the room had the effect of repairing skin. She could apply some on her face.
Zhou Tingyang watched Ye Zhenzhen leave, but he could do nothing about it. Xiao Qinke stomped her feet in anger and left the hotel in a rush.
Zhou Tingyang hurriedly chased after her. At this moment, the hotel manager couldn’t help but sigh.
It turned out that there were really such despicable men in this world who used women to achieve their goals. It was fine if they did not admit that they were ordinary, but they still thought that they were invincible.
Of course, Ye Zhenzhen’s slap was not in vain. This was because she was constantly reminded of how ridiculous and stupid she had been back then.
The manager reported what happened in the lobby of the resort to Lin Wanli. Lin Wanli felt that Ye Zhenzhen was even more salvageable after listening to the story.
A man like Zhou Tingyang kept going back and forth in his own world as if the whole world had let him down and everyone had to give way for his benefit.
He was clearly in the wrong, but he could shamelessly pull his current lover to Ye Zhenzhen’s door and do whatever he wanted. Throughout this long period, this person had done at least eight stupid things without any self-reflection. Of course, it had a lot to do with Ye Zhenzhen praising him for the past few years. After all, that was how trash was raised.
“Keep the surveillance footage in the lobby well. It’s a waste not to take the material that others have given to you.”
After Lin Wanli gave her instructions, she started to think about Xiao Qinke again.
It was not easy for her to get the person she loved, so she wanted to show off in front of Ye Zhenzhen out of her possessiveness. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with that. However, Lin Wanli felt that the more she acted, the more apparent it was that she was performing a skit.
However, it was also good that Zhou Tingyang came to torture her himself. When the news about Ye Zhenzhen broke out in two days, he would feel better and be even more ruthless.
Zhou Tingyang finally caught up with Xiao Qinke. He hugged her and comforted her in the woods near the temple. He apologized, “I’m sorry, Ke’er. I
wasn’t capable enough. I caused you to be bullied by Ye Zhenzhen and made a fool of yourself in front of everyone. It’s all my fault.”
“Zhou Tingyang, why are you so useless?” Xiao Qinke pushed him away.
Zhou Tingyang’s expression darkened. He punched the tree beside him and said in a low voice, “Ke ‘er, I know you look down on me, but you’ve seen how my father suppressed me. I really can’t raise my head. Do you know that? I also want to be upright and protect my woman like a man, but…”
“Maybe, it’s just as Ye Zhenzhen said. I’m good-looking but have nothing good inside. You’d better not come near me again.”
After saying that, Zhou Tingyang pretended to be sad and wanted to be left alone. However, Xiao Qinke hugged him from behind and murmured, “I’m sorry. I was being unreasonable. I shouldn’t have forced you.”
“Ke’er, I really want to have a home, you know? I’m really suffocated by my father.”
“I’ll give it to you. Don’t blame yourself like this anymore.” Xiao Qinke’s heart ached as she said, “Can we get married as soon as possible?”
Hearing that Xiao Qinke had agreed to get married, the scheming man finally turned around and hugged her. He replied, “I knew it. You love me the most in the world..”
