At 6pm, the restaurant was filled with melodious piano music, but neither of them seemed to be in the mood to enjoy it.

“Lawyer An doesn’t look too good,” Tang Zheng said happily. He recalled how badly he had been humiliated by her when he had gone to look for her, but he had never thought that she would end up like this.., “Looks like Xu Baohan hasn’t been treating you right. Why don’t you stay with me, I promise…”

“I promise I will take revenge on your ex-girlfriend,” An Lan interrupted him, her tone cold. “It’s been so long, but you haven’t improved at all. You seem to be the same age as me, can you not be so childish?”

Tang Zheng was so angry that his face was twisted. “An Lan, don’t forget that you’re the one who asked me to meet you.”

“You send flowers every day, aren’t you just waiting for me to ask you out?” An Lan held up her wine gla.s.s and chuckled. “Could it be that you’re sending flowers because you’re stupid and have a lot of money?”

Tang Zheng was furious. “Don’t go too far, do you believe that I’ll leave right now?”

“If I leave, how will you achieve your goal?” An Lan raised her wine gla.s.s and took a sip.

Tang Zheng was stunned. He crossed his arms. “Something happened between you and Xu Baohan. Is it because of Zhuang Tianya? That woman has always been fond of Xu Baohan. When she was with me, she would take Xu Baohan’s gifts to look at and remember him…”

An Lan raised her eyebrows. As expected, Zhuang Tianya had come prepared. “So how did you break up? She couldn’t forget her ex-boyfriend and dumped you?”

Tang Zheng glared at her, and An Lan opened her red lips. “To be honest, you’ve been pestering me this whole time. It’s obvious that you can’t forget your ex-girlfriend. You’re also trying to sow discord between Xu Baohan and me. Now is the best opportunity.”

Tang Zheng was a little speechless. “You’re the smartest female lawyer I’ve ever met.”

“I think it’s also the one you hate the most.” An Lan smiled faintly. “It’s hard for you to use me to deal with Xu Baohan.”

Tang Zheng sighed. This woman was too clear-headed.., “To be precise, I was forced to get rid of her. I helped the Zhuang family and allowed Zhuang Tianya to be with me, but no matter how well I treated her, there was always another person hiding in her heart. She wasn’t willing to sleep with me, and she wasn’t happy to go out on a date with me. She didn’t wear the things I gave her, and would rather go out with her friends to watch a movie than be with me…”

He continued. “What’s the point of two people living such a life together? I’ve sacrificed so much for her. Back then, when her father almost went to jail, I was the one who looked for connections to help her. It was our Tang family who helped the Zhuang family, and her father’s company was able to turn things around..,

I did it all for her, but Xu Baohan didn’t do anything, and in her eyes, I am still not better than him no matter what. How could I be happy? I was like being with a puppet. That’s right, I was despicable, and I took advantage of the situation when she was at her most helpless.., But everyone gets what they want. I’m a businessman, not a philanthropist. I’ve given my all, you must repay me.”

“So you broke up, but you weren’t happy in your heart.” This was the first time An Lan looked closely at Tang Zheng. She suddenly realized that he wasn’t that annoying, at least he was truly infatuated with her.

“Yes, I lost miserably.” Tang Zheng shrugged helplessly, “After it ended, she cried and told me that she was very grateful to me, but she couldn’t fall in love with me no matter what. Heh, since you couldn’t fall in love with me, then why didn’t you tell me earlier? I definitely wouldn’t have helped her father.”

An Lan didn’t know whether to sympathize with him more or to despise Zhuang Tianya more. “Is she that good? Why did you put in so much effort to get her?”
