Chapter 226 Dare to Steal My Man?
"Mr. Tan, please try this dish; it's the restaurant's signature dish," Su Yingqing said, trying to ease the tension.
Tan Zhengchu merely glanced at her indifferently, his tone aloof: "President Su, there's no need to be so polite. My purpose in coming here is not to have a meal."
Su Yingqing's heart sank, but she forced a smile and said, "So, what does President Tan mean..."
Tan Zhengchu looked directly into her eyes, his tone cold: "I just want you to understand that there are some things you are not qualified to handle. For example, the business cooperation between the Su family and the Tan family."
Su Yingqing's face turned pale instantly, her fingers gripped the tablecloth tightly, and she couldn't help but tremble.
She struggled to suppress her anger and humiliation, her voice trembling slightly: "Mr. Tan, what do you mean by that?"
Tan Zhengchu stood up, straightened his suit, and said indifferently, "The meaning is simple: the Su family's strength is not enough to stand on equal footing with the Tan family. Mr. Su, you'd better watch yourself."
Su Yingqing's smile froze slightly, but she quickly recovered: "President Tan, I specially prepared 82 wine for you. Would you like to try some?"
Tan Zhengchu sat in the private room, his gaze cold and stern: "President Su, there's no need to trouble yourself. I've already made it very clear that the Su Group is not capable of completing this project, and the Tan Group has decided not to renew the contract."
He stood up, straightened his suit, and said in a cold tone, "Besides, Mr. Su, there's no need to trouble yourself. I have no interest in red wine."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, with his secretary and assistant following closely behind.
Su Yingqing's face turned pale instantly, and she hurriedly got up and chased after him.
She grabbed Tan Zhengchu's sleeve at the door, her voice pleading, "Mr. Tan, please give me another chance! I'll do anything you ask!"
A flicker of urgency crossed her eyes as she tried to evoke Tan Zhengchu's old feelings: "We used to be so close, we had a chance to be together. Don't you have any feelings for us at all?"
Tan Zhengchu stopped in his tracks, coldly glancing at his sleeve, his gaze icy: "Are you mistaken? When have we ever had a relationship?"
His tone was filled with undisguised disdain as he said again, "Let go."
Su Yingqing's fingers trembled slightly, but she still refused to let go.
Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Mr. Tan, you can't do this to me..."
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the end of the corridor.
Su Yingxue, being escorted by Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er, happened to pass by.
Her gaze swept over Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingqing, and she paused slightly, confirming that she hadn't misread them.
Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er also witnessed this scene. They exchanged a glance, and a sense of worry welled up in their hearts at the same time.
Yang Xinyi quickly blocked Su Yingxue's view with her body, and said in a relaxed tone, "Xiaoxue, let's go eat quickly, I'm starving."
Chu Qing'er quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's not worry about those unimportant things."
The two men linked arms with Su Yingxue and quickly left, afraid that she would see more and be saddened.
Tan Zhengchu's gaze followed Su Yingxue's retreating figure, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
He hadn't expected to run into her here, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He shook off Su Yingqing's hand, his tone cold: "President Su, please have some self-respect."
After saying that, he strode towards the direction Su Yingxue had left, secretly deciding in his heart: "Tonight, I will have dinner with her."
Su Yingqing stood there, watching Tan Zhengchu's departing figure, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly and murmured, "Tan Zhengchu, you will regret this!"
However, Tan Zhengchu had already gone far away and paid no attention to her threats.
At this moment, Su Yingxue's image was all that remained in his heart.
Xiao Liu hurriedly returned to the private room with the red wine, only to find that Tan Zhengchu had already gotten up and was preparing to leave.
He froze for a moment, almost dropping the wine bottle in his hand.
Su Yingqing stood at the door, her face ashen, her eyes burning with rage.
"Mr. Su, the red wine is here..." Xiao Liu said cautiously, his voice tinged with unease.
Xiao Liu was taken aback when he saw the empty seats: "President Su, where is President Tan?"
Su Yingqing suddenly swept the wine glass on the table to the ground, the sound of shattering glass echoing in the private room.
A fierce glint flashed in her eyes as she murmured, "Tan Zhengchu, do you think this will make me give up? You underestimate me!"
Su Yingqing suddenly turned around, snatched the wine bottle, and smashed it on the ground.
"boom--"
The wine bottle shattered, splashing deep red liquid all over the floor, and the air was filled with a rich aroma of wine.
Xiao Liu was so frightened that he took a step back and dared not say another word.
Su Yingqing's chest heaved violently, her voice sharp and furious: "Get out! All of you, get out!"
Xiao Liu nodded hurriedly and quickly retreated, afraid of becoming a victim of Su Yingqing's anger.
Su Yingqing stood still, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.
Her gaze was fixed on the direction Tan Zhengchu had left, her eyes filled with resentment and hatred.
"Tan Zhengchu, how could you do this to me for Su Yingxue!" she hissed in a low voice, her voice filled with suppressed madness.
The image of Su Yingxue kept appearing in her mind, the younger sister she had always regarded as a thorn in her side.
"Why? Why does she get Tan Zhengchu's favor? Why does she always steal what belongs to me!"
A fierce glint flashed in Su Yingqing's eyes, and her hatred for Su Yingxue reached its peak.
She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Su Yingxue, you just wait! I'll make you pay!"
She turned and went back to the private room, picked up her phone and dialed a number, her voice icy: "It's me. Help me find out Su Yingxue's recent whereabouts, and all her contacts with Tan Zhengchu. I need to know every detail."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yingqing's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Su Yingxue, do you think you can stay smug forever? I'll show you what happens when you steal what's mine!"
Her gaze pierced through the window, looking towards the distant night, a sinister glint in her eyes.
……
Su Yingxue was pulled into a private room by Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er, her wrist being pulled quite tightly.
"Why are you two so nervous?" Su Yingxue smiled helplessly, looking at her two friends.
Chu Qing'er patted her shoulder gently, "We were just worried you were in a bad mood. Just now at the door, I saw Su Yingqing talking to Tan Zhengchu. Although I don't know what they were talking about, I have a feeling that she's bothering him again."
Su Yingxue shook her head, her eyes resolute: "I believe in Zhengchu. Besides, he promised me that he would come here on time to have dinner with me today."
Yang Xinyi pursed her lips, clearly not believing it: "Men, they always say nice things. Are you really that confident?"
“Of course.” Su Yingxue smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. “How about we make a bet? I’ll count to five, and he’ll definitely show up.”
