Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Insult Him as Being Worse Than a Mouse Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Insult Him as Being Worse Than a Mouse Hai Lan never imagined her words could be so venomous, repeatedly humiliating him, and Zhijie’s face twisted in discomfort.

Just as he was about to retaliate, Hai Lan had already walked past him.

He unleashed his trump card at her retreating back, “Hai Lan, I know you hate me, but the only person I love is Yun Shan, and I’m going to marry her!”

He thought that by saying this, Hai Lan would no longer be able to maintain her composure and would instantly reveal the pain inside her heart.

But unexpectedly, she just turned around indifferently, and said lightly, “Oh, please make sure to tell me the date when it happens, I’ll post a congratulatory message on Weibo.”

A Weibo blessing? Wasn’t that asking for trouble?!

Until now, he and Yun Shan were still being cursed by millions of netizens.

“Hai Lan, we’ve already broken up, and Yun Shan is also your sister. Can’t you just wish us well?”

“Are you deaf? I already said I’d bless you on Weibo, so exactly when is the wedding?”

Zhijie dared not say!

He just looked at her sadly, with an expression that said ‘how could you have become like this’, “Hai Lan, you’ve become like this all because of me, no matter how much you hate me in your heart, I will accept it.”

“Zhijie, actually, what I hate the most is mice, if you’re willing to be a mouse, I don’t mind hating you.”

“You…”

“But I see you definitely won’t be able to become a mouse, but I also hate mouse droppings, try harder, maybe someday you’ll become mouse droppings.” Hai Lan smiled faintly, pushed open the door to the private room, and went in, closing the door instantly as if she really did see something like mouse droppings outside.

Zhijie stood still, clenched his fists in fury.

What, did he think he was stupid? Hai Lan was insulting him, saying he was even worse than a mouse, even worse than mouse droppings!

How had Hai Lan become like this!

She had become really terrifying now, completely lacking any elegance or ladylike demeanour.

How could her mouth be so venomous, where was her upbringing, her politeness, gentleness, kindness?

Clearly, Hai Lan wasn’t good enough; otherwise, how could he have failed to fall in love with her?

Zhijie was so disappointed in Hai Lan, but soon, he chose to forgive her.

He and Yun Shan would forgive the corrupted Hai Lan, after all, her hatred came from love…

Fatherly, Zhijie thought these things when he suddenly faced a sweet, cute face.

The girl flashed a warm, caring smile, “President Wei, I saw you come out and haven’t gone in for a while, I thought you were feeling unwell. Are you okay?”

This girl was Zhijie’s secretary, a very gentle and capable girl.

Upon seeing her, Zhijie’s expression softened considerably, “I’m fine, let’s go in.”

“Okay.” The girl smiled sweetly, instantly healing Zhijie’s mood.

Then he entered the private room with a gentlemanly smile he conjured up, continuing to deal with several business executives.

Business had been tough for the Wei Family lately.

Ever since his affair was exposed, the Wei Family’s image had suffered significantly, and many potential partners had chosen to back out.

The major partners were left to Mr. Wei to retain, while the smaller companies were handed over to Zhijie to handle.

Mr. Wei ordered him to do whatever it took to keep these clients, otherwise, he wouldn’t even dream of being with Yun Shan.

Zhijie, for the sake of his true love, had no choice but to humble himself and deal with these, in his opinion, low-end and hypocritical business veterans.
