She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Shao Yan and Han Yifei went to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission together.

Before even reaching the leader's office, they saw Meng Yu and Pei Rongrong.

Shao Yan instinctively tried to hide, but Pei Rongrong's gaze grew even colder when she saw Shao Yan.

"Miss Shao is here too. How was your shopping trip with my uncle yesterday? With my uncle as your sugar daddy, you still have to pretend to be a strong woman and come here with President Han. Isn't it tiring, Miss Shao?"

Pei Rongrong felt angry when she thought about her injuries. If it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't have been beaten so badly.

Meng Yu, who was next to Pei Rongrong, also looked gloomy when he saw Han Yifei.

Ever since Zeng Qier became his girlfriend, Han Yifei has been picking on Meng Yu.

It was like this when I was in school, and it's still like this now.

Now their feud has deepened, and Zeng Qier has separated from Meng Yu, but the mutual trampling between Han Yifei and Meng Yu is only intensifying.

Upon seeing Pei Rongrong, Shao Yan thought of her mother's jade Buddha. She clenched her fists tightly and then relaxed them.

Shao Yan remembered that she was representing Honda Fit today, not Meng Yu's crippled assistant.

Faced with Pei Rongrong's insults, Shao Yan demonstrated the professionalism she should have.

"Ms. Pei, I am the vice president of Fit. I am here today to discuss a project. I am not familiar with you, Ms. Pei. If you have any feelings you need to express, I'm sorry I cannot accompany you."

Meng Yu, who was standing next to Pei Rongrong, kept his eyes fixed on Shao Yan. Several times, Shao Yan was afraid that he had discovered something, so Meng Yu spoke up.

"Mr. Shao is right. This is my assistant, Pei Rongrong. No matter what, we will compete fairly today."

Pei Rongrong's temper flared instantly when she saw Meng Yu still speaking up for Shao Yan.

"Meng Yu, I only came here with you because you're my boyfriend. The leaders of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission have a very good relationship with my dad and uncle. Are you just lusting after her because she's pretty? You men are all the same."

Pei Rongrong's eyes reddened as soon as she finished speaking, and Meng Yu's expression turned grim.

Now it was Han Yifei's turn to laugh at him.

"President Meng is really something—it turns out that your Meng Group got to where it is today because of women."

Han Yifei was merely using Pei Rongrong's words to deliberately ridicule Meng Yu, but Meng Yu connected them to Shao Yan's words.

It was Shao Yan who sold her belongings to help the Meng Group make a comeback back then, and Meng Yu now hates it most when people say that he relies on women.

"Han Yifei, I, Meng Yu, don't need to rely on women."

He originally wanted to pursue Pei Rongrong, but the beauty of the Fit CEO Shao had captured Meng Yu's heart, and for some inexplicable reason, he didn't choose to coax her.

"Today, everyone will rely on their own abilities."

When Meng Yu spoke to Han Yifei, his words carried a hint of ferocity, but when he met Shao Yan's captivatingly beautiful eyes, he couldn't help but soften.

"Vice President Shao, my assistant was very rude just now, I apologize on her behalf."

Shao Yan curled her lips in a sarcastic smile, but Meng Yu saw it as charming and alluring. He thought Shao Yan was smiling at him, so he responded with enthusiasm and tenderness.

"Our CEO Shao won't take it to heart. No matter how gentlemanly CEO Meng is, we won't hold back later."

Every time Meng Yu said something, Han Yifei would retort. He didn't have a chance to talk to Shao Yan at all. Shao Yan stood to the side, so gentle and kind, or at least that's how Meng Yu appeared to be.

Even without saying a word, this woman seemed to be gazing at him with deep affection.

Meng Yu was furious and looked at Han Yifei with icy coldness.

"Mr. Han, you talk too much."

He only wanted to talk to Shao Yan. This woman didn't look aloof at all; she seemed born to be a lover, yet she forced her way into the world of men and took over their territory.

Meng Yu felt that if he could win Shao Yan's heart, he would cherish her and never let her show her face in public.

It's such a waste that she's Huo Xiao's girlfriend.

Does Huo Xiao know what romance is, and is he good at charming women?

"It's not that I'm being nosy, I'm just afraid that President Meng already has a girlfriend but is still eyeing other people's women."

Han Yifei still harbored resentment towards Meng Yu for taking Zeng Qier away.

She was the woman he had pursued for over a year before finally winning her over. It wasn't that he particularly liked her, but mainly because Zeng Qi'er was aloof and looked down on everyone.

Han Yifei's stubborn streak kicked in, and he was determined to win her over.

Before they had even been dating for a month, Meng Yu and Zeng Qier officially announced their relationship.

If Zeng Qier hadn't run away from Meng Yu in a fit of pique, and if Meng Yu hadn't been in a car accident and become a vegetable, their child would probably be old enough to run errands by now.

The atmosphere was tense, and Shao Yan showed no intention of trying to smooth things over.

How did she fall in love with Meng Yu back then?

Meng Yu already has Pei Rongrong, and now he's trying to win her over.

Shao Yan suddenly wondered if Meng Yu would still be as attentive as he was today if he knew that she was the cripple, the old woman who used to live under the same roof as him.

The two men were fighting like cockfighting, neither willing to give in.

"Yifei, Ayu—"

A clear female voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention, including Shao Yan.

It wasn't that the voice was particularly charming; it was just that in a man's environment, the abrupt yet soft voice naturally attracted attention.

The morning sunlight shone on the person who came, like the light of day shining down on her, making her even more charming and elegant.

Meng Yu and Han Yifei stopped arguing at the same time and looked at the woman walking towards them.

The woman wore a hazy blue suit, her long, straight hair cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes and brows revealed a shrewdness, and her makeup was exquisite, giving her a very capable appearance.

Although Shao Yan was dressed formally, she easily gave off a charming and seductive vibe, making people overlook her abilities because of her appearance.

"Zeng Qi'er?"

Han Yifei wore a mocking smile: "What a small world."

Zeng Qi'er stretched out her slender fingers and stood confidently in front of the two men.

"Why are you still so childish, like you were in school? Stop arguing, or you'll make a fool of yourselves."

Zeng Qi'er, with the air of a big sister, looked at Shao Yan with her beautiful eyes and generously extended her hand.

"Hello, my name is Zeng Qier."

Shao Yan didn't actually know Meng Yu's ex-girlfriend; she had only heard of her.

However, Zeng Qier and Pei Rongrong do indeed have very similar expressions between their eyebrows.

She's like a more mature version of Pei Rongrong. She speaks to Shao Yan with neither arrogance nor servility, and you can tell at a glance that she's a seasoned professional.

Shao Yan sized her up for a few seconds; no wonder Meng Yu liked her.

She's a shrewd woman, adept at handling men, capable and beautiful.

Shao Yan reached out her hand, but Zeng Qi'er suddenly withdrew it.

"Why are you still like this? You're all celebrities in Beicheng, can't you be a little more mature?"

Zeng Qi'er gave them a reproachful look, and Shao Yan felt that she seemed to be deliberately showing off how familiar she was with Han Yifei and Meng Yu in front of her.

In this way, only Shao Yan was a complete outsider among the four.

What are you doing here?

Zeng Qier's appearance did not surprise Han Yifei much. He was not enthusiastic, nor did he show the excitement of seeing an old lover. On the contrary, a hint of impatience appeared on his face.

Meng Yu was similar, but his attitude was much better than Han Yifei's.

"What are you doing here?"

Meng Yu stared at Zeng Qi'er, a look of infatuation appearing on his face.

Perhaps because Shao Yan was there, Meng Yu was very restrained, acting as if he wasn't very familiar with Zeng Qier.

After all, Shao Yan is Huo Xiao's woman, while Pei Rongrong is his current official girlfriend.

Meng Yu didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.

"President Meng, President Han, let me introduce you. This is Zeng Qi'er, Secretary-General of the President's Office of Song's Group—"
