Chapter 688: You’re Out Of Our League

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Fiancée? What fiancée?”

The expression on Mother Shi’s face had completely changed. She glanced at Shi Mengwan and only realized now that her daughter did indeed have a small temper, but she was definitely not someone who would make trouble without reason.

“Haoze? What fiancée?”

Zhan Haoze glanced at Shi Mengwan as if he didn’t expect her to bring up such a topic in front of Shi Mengwan.

The corners of Shi Mengwan’s lips curled up with a hint of disdain in her eyes. She just stared at Zhan Haoze. She wanted to know how he was going to explain in front of her mother.

“Mr. Zhan?”

Seeing that Zhan Haoze hadn’t said anything, Mother Shi’s address had changed.

Zhan Haoze glanced at Mother Shi and turned to face her with a calm expression. “I do have a fiancée, but I don’t have any feelings for her. Also, I promised Wanwan that I would resolve this matter.”

“Does that mean you really have a fiancée?” Mother Shi only paid attention to the first sentence.

“Auntie, I said I would resolve –”

“Please, Mr. Zhan.”

Mother Shi’s expression darkened. She looked at Zhan Haoze impolitely and pointed at the door. “Mr. Zhan, we’re from a small family and you’re out of our league.”

“Auntie, I promised Wanwan that I would definitely resolve this matter.”

Zhan Haoze was rarely patient, but Mother Shi’ didn’t want to hear it. “Then we’ll talk about it after you resolve it.”

The atmosphere was a little awkward and extremely stiff. Zhan Haoze’s expression was a little awkward. He wasn’t good at explaining, but because she was Shi Mengwan’s mother and an elder, his attitude was rather polite.

“Auntie, I just need some time to resolve this. It’s not a big deal.”

Shi Mengwan kept looking at him and didn’t say anything. Not a big deal? A man who can’t be with me openly, why would I come?

Mother Shi looked at him rather impolitely. She didn’t accept this explanation. “Not a big deal? I wonder what Mr. Zhan’s definition of a big deal is? If you think having a fiancée isn’t a big deal, then if our Wanwan still has a fiancé at home, I wonder if Mr. Zhan thinks it’s not a big deal too?”

She turned Zhan Haoze around and Zhan Haoze’s expression became more and more uncomfortable. “Auntie.”

“Please go ahead.” Mother Shi’s expression was already very ugly. It was true that she liked Zhan haoze before, but that was because Zhan Haoze had a clean background and no messy relationships around him.

Zhan Haoze had a fiancée. In Mother Shi’s eyes, no matter how good Zhan Haoze was, he wasn’t a good man and couldn’t be entrusted with her life.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very awkward. Mother Shi and Shi Mengwan didn’t look too pleasant.

Shi Mengwan sat there with a mocking smile on her lips. She didn’t look at Zhan Haoze. With Mother Shi’s help, she had nothing to do. She even leisurely picked up the soup in front of her and took a sip.

En, the freshly made seafood soup was light and delicious. It tasted really good.

“Mom, this soup is really delicious.” She looked at Mother Shi with a subtle smile on her face. That silent and intimate look caused Zhan Haoze’s eyes to darken.

“If you like it, drink more.” Mother Shi glanced at Zhan Haoze as she spoke. “Mr. Zhan, if there’s nothing else, you can leave first. Wanwan and I still have to eat. It’s not convenient for you to be here.”

Zhan haoze took a deep look at Shi Mengwan and stood up in the end.

He stood in front of the dining table and his tall figure made him look imposing as soon as he stood up. Shi Mengwan didn’t give in, but Shi Mengwan was still leisurely drinking the soup.

She felt much better after drinking the soup. Her nonchalance made Zhan Haoze’s face turn pale.

He pulled out the chair and took a step back.

“Auntie, please give me some time. I will solve my problems.”

Mother Shi was unmoved. In her heart, nothing could compare to her daughter’s happiness.

Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan again. She had already finished the soup in the bowl and handed it to Mother Shi with a bright smile on her lips.

“Mom, get me another bowl of soup.”

“Don’t drink the soup. Drink it later and eat first.”

As Mother Shi spoke, she scooped a bowl of rice for Shi Mengwan and placed it in her hand. Zhan Haoze’s expression turned ugly when he saw that she wasn’t looking at him at all.

“Auntie, Wanwan, I’m leaving first.”

No one paid him any attention. Ever since Zhan Haoze became famous as a teenager, he had never encountered such a thing.

However, Mother Shi and Shi Mengwan acted as if they didn’t see him and continued eating. Zhan Haoze turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait.”

When Zhan Haoze reached the door, Shi Mengwan suddenly called out to him.

This time, not understanding what she was doing, both Mother Shi and Zhan Haoze looked at her.

Especially Mother Shi. She looked worried. Did this child regret it?

“Zhan Haoze, leave the key to my house.”

After saying this, Shi Mengwan lowered her head to eat. Mother Shi suddenly thought of this question. Waiting for him to hand over the key, She stared at Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze stood at the door. This was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a predicament.

He looked deeply at Shi Mengwan and finally took out the key to Shi Mengwan’s house and placed it at the entrance.

He pulled the door open and walked out. The door opened and closed. Shi Mengwan’s heart had been hanging in her throat earlier, but now she finally felt at ease.

Mother Shi sat down and looked at Shi Mengwan with a hint of heartache in her eyes. “Wanwan.”

“Mom, let’s eat.” Shi Mengwan could guess what Mother Shi wanted to say, but she didn’t want to hear it now.

“Wanwan, you –” How could Shi Mengwan eat? She only felt that her daughter’s life was miserable. “Did you know that Zhan Haoze had a fiancée?”

Shi Mengwan lowered her head and didn’t answer Mother Shi’s question. However, this attitude was undoubtedly a tacit agreement.

“Daughter, why are you so stupid? You –”

“Mom.” Shi Mengwan’s eyes were a little sore, and her heart was uncomfortable. She forced herself to ignore it. “It’s all in the past. He’s gone now, isn’t he?”

This person had left, but his influence was still there. When Mother Shi thought of Shi Mengwan’s influence because of him, she felt even more uncomfortable. “This Zhan Haoze also looks like a decent person. Why is he doing something like two-timing?”

Shi Mengwan didn’t want her to answer, and Mother Shi didn’t need her to answer either. She said to herself, “That’s true. You can’t tell a man’s heart from his face. There are some people in this world who you really can’t tell.”

She looked at Shi Mengwan worriedly and sighed in her heart. “Wanwan, why do you think your life is so hard?”

“Mom.” Shi Mengwan stopped eating and looked at Mother Shi. “Can you stop talking? It’s all in the past.”

“Yeah, it’s all in the past.” Mother Shi stopped talking. “Stay away from that Zhan guy from now on.”

“I know.”

“It’s not that I’m stopping you. No matter how good this other guy is, he’s still someone else’s.”

“Mom, I said it. I know.”

“In the future, look for another good guy.”

“We’ll see.” How could she have the mood to look for another good guy now?

“That Xiao Qi –”

“Mom, can we not talk about him?”

If Shi Mengwan was interested in Xiao Qi, the two of them would have been together a long time ago. She just didn’t have that intention.

Mother Shi let out a long sigh. Seeing her like this, Shi Mengwan put down the bowl in her hand, picked up the bowl, and poured a bowl of soup in front of her.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

Seeing that Mother Shi was still unhappy, she said nonchalantly, “Mom, don’t worry. Everyone loves your daughter. When flowers bloom, someone will definitely want her.”

Seeing her like this, no matter how worried Mother Shi was, she could only let it go. “You.”

Shi Mengwan looked down and focused on eating. She didn’t respond to Mother Shi’s words.

..

Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze. Even if he didn’t say anything, he could see that Zhan Haoze was in a bad mood.

“Boss?”

“How’s the cooperation case with Tianji going?”

“It’s almost done. We’re just waiting for the contract to be signed.”

“You can confirm this later. Just sign the contract in the next two days.”

“Yes.”

There was silence. Zhan Haoze looked out of the window. No one knew what he was thinking. Tang Hua felt a chill on the back of his neck. Boss’s mood really wasn’t right, wasn’t it?

Could it be because of that person?

“Is there any movement over there?”

“The old man’s health seems to be getting worse. I heard that he called for a lawyer again two days ago.” historical

“Call for a lawyer?” Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of something. He sneered. “Make the arrangements. I’m going to Qing City.”

“Okay. I’ll make the arrangements now.”

Tang Hua had just opened the office door when he saw Chen Feifei standing at the door. His expression was a little strange.

“Miss Chen.”

This shout was particularly loud, causing Chen Feifei to glare at him. “What’s your name? You’re so jumpy. I don’t know why brother Hao left someone like you by his side.”

Tang Hua rubbed his nose and turned to look at Zhan Haoze. Zhan Haoze gave him a look and he quickly left.

After he left, Zhan Haoze picked up the document on the side and started reading. Chen Feifei bit her lip and walked in quickly.

“Brother Hao, what have you been busy with these two days? You haven’t entered the company for three days.”

“Something’s up.”

“What is more important than the company’s matters?” Chen Feifei wore a professional suit and held a document in her hand.

Zhan Haoze looked up at her. “What is it?”

“Of course it’s something.” Chen Feifei’s attention was successfully diverted by Zhan Haoze. She waved the document in her hand. “Brother Hao, I also want to contribute to the company. This is the proposal that I spent a few days to make. Take a look.”

Zhan Haoze wasn’t in a hurry to get the document. He looked at Chen Feifei with a grim expression.

“Feifei.”

“Yes?”

“You don’t have to work so hard.” Zhan Haoze said seriously. “You can stay at home and enjoy your life as the eldest daughter of the Chen family.”

Chen Feifei looked at Zhan Haoze blankly, as if she didn’t understand what he meant. “But, I want to enter the company. I want to help you.”

“No need.” Zhan Haoze said quite directly. “Feifei, don’t waste your time on me. You should go live your own life.”

“Live my own life? Brother Hao, what do you mean?”
