My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 157 I'll Make You All Regret It

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.

In the brightly lit club, Zhu Yahan slowly opened her eyes.

Her head was spinning, and her body ached as if it had been run over.

"Where...is this?" she murmured to herself, her voice hoarse.

Suddenly, she sensed someone beside her.

Turning her head, she saw a fat, big-eared man lying next to her, snoring loudly.

Zhu Yahan's heart sank suddenly, and memories flooded back like a tide.

She remembers being handed a glass of water by the maid, drinking it, and then losing consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was already here.

"No...it's impossible..." She trembled as she pulled back the covers, saw the marks on her body, and instantly broke down.

“It’s Father…it’s Wan Qingsha…” she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger and despair.

"They actually...they actually did this to me!"

She gripped the sheets tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Wan Qingsha, you wait... I will make you pay the price!"

The club's corridors were dimly lit, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of extravagance.

Zhu Yahan dragged her tired body and walked out step by step.

Her eyes were cold, and she had only one thought in her mind—revenge.

"Wan Qingsha, didn't you want to use me?"

"Then I'll show you what it feels like to be attacked from behind!"

She walked out of the club, the night breeze brushing against her face, carrying a slight chill.

Zhu Yahan raised her head, looked at the dark night sky, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

"From today onwards, I am no longer a pawn to be manipulated."

"I'll make you all... regret it!"

……

The news of the successful signing of the Sunshine Group's western development project swept through the entire financial circle like a whirlwind.

Major media outlets rushed to report on it, and Tan Haoyu's name frequently appeared in headlines.

"Haoyu, you've been so busy lately." Zhu Ziqing stood in front of the mirror, carefully tying Tan Haoyu's tie.

Tan Haoyu looked down at her, a hint of apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to have dinner with you these past few days."

Zhu Ziqing smiled gently.

"It's okay, work is more important."

"However, you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."

Tan Haoyu took her hand and squeezed it gently.

"I'll come back early after I finish my work today."

"Shall we go back to Shenzhen together tomorrow?"

Zhu Ziqing's eyes lit up, and she nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel."

After finishing up his project, Tan Haoyu was invited to a business dinner.

He held his wine glass, a polite smile on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about going back to be with Zhu Ziqing as soon as possible.

"Mr. Tan, congratulations!" A business partner came over and raised a glass in celebration.

"With the signing of the western project, the future development of Sunshine Group is limitless!"

Tan Haoyu smiled and clinked glasses with him.

"Thank you, it's a win-win situation."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tan Haoyu made an excuse to leave.

He walked to a corner, took out his phone, and sent a message to Zhu Ziqing.

"I'm almost done here, wait for me to get back."

Zhu Ziqing quickly replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Tan Haoyu looked at the screen, a slight smile playing on his lips.

-

After seeing Tan Haoyu off, Zhu Ziqing stayed in her hotel room.

She sat alone in her room, feeling a little bored.

So, he took out his drawing board and paintbrushes from his luggage.

She hasn't touched a paintbrush in three years.

But recently I picked it up again and surprisingly found that feeling again.

"Although it's a bit rough around the edges, it's not bad." She looked at the design draft she had just completed and nodded in satisfaction.

She took a picture of the design and sent it to her friend Li Siqi.

Not long after, Li Siqi replied.

"Ziqing, you're amazing! This design is absolutely perfect!"

"If you had made a comeback sooner, you would definitely be a top designer now!"

Zhu Ziqing looked at her phone screen and couldn't help but laugh.

"Siqi, you're exaggerating."

“I’m serious!” Li Siqi sent an exaggerated emoji.

"With your skill level, you could easily outshine a bunch of so-called design masters!"

Zhu Ziqing shook her head, feeling happy but remaining rational.

She knew that Li Siqi always liked to exaggerate.

“But thank you anyway,” she replied.

"I will continue to work hard."

Putting down her phone, Zhu Ziqing walked to the window and looked at the night view of the capital.

She's going back to Shenzhen tomorrow, but there's still one thing she hasn't taken care of.

"Before I leave, I have to see someone," she murmured to herself, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

Zhu Ziqing walked through several quiet alleys and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous coffee shop.

The wooden sign on the door reads: "The boss is in a bad mood and is taking a day off."

She frowned, hesitating whether to knock on the door, when a deep male voice came from inside.

"Since you're here, come in."

Zhu Ziqing pushed open the door, and the aroma of coffee wafted out.

She took a deep breath and her gaze fell on the man behind the bar.

"Mr. Yan?" she asked tentatively.

The man raised his head, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Miss Zhu, I've long admired your name."

Zhu Ziqing smiled slightly and walked to the bar to sit down.

"Mr. Yan's coffee shop is indeed extraordinary."

Mr. Yan curled the corners of his lips slightly, his tone indifferent.

"They're just minor hobbies, nothing to mention."

"Would you like something to drink?"

Zhu Ziqing glanced at the coffee cup in his hand and smiled, "Can I share a cup? It smells delicious."

Mr. Yan stared at her for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Should I call you Miss Zhu, or... Mrs. Tan?"

Zhu Ziqing's expression hardened, and her tone became firm.

"I came here as Zhu Ziqing, and it has nothing to do with Tan Haoyu."

Mr. Yan smiled and turned to pour her a cup of coffee.

"Miss Zhu is indeed straightforward, I like that."

He handed her the coffee, his gaze still fixed on her face.

“You have good taste. These coffee beans are ones I brought back from South America.”

Zhu Ziqing took the coffee and took a small sip.

"It really smells delicious. Mr. Yan is indeed a person who knows how to enjoy life."

Her gaze swept over the several oil paintings on the wall, and she suddenly asked, "Mr. Yan also enjoys collecting paintings?"

Mr. Yan followed her gaze, his tone tinged with nostalgia.

"They're all old things, I can't bear to throw them away."

Zhu Ziqing nodded, her impression of Mr. Yan deepening even further.

She put down her coffee cup and asked directly, "Mr. Yan, what have you thought of my proposal?"

Mr. Yan raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly teasing.

"Miss Zhu is so confident, I'm quite curious."

"However, I don't think any man would refuse a beauty like you, would he?"

Zhu Ziqing smiled and raised her coffee cup.

"So, what does Mr. Yan mean?"

Mr. Yan also raised his glass and gently clinked it against hers.

"Pleasant to work with."

Zhu Ziqing felt relieved and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Pleasant to work with."

After finishing her sentence, Zhu Ziqing drank the coffee in her cup in one gulp.
