Married at First Sight Chapter 4464

Lan Ruoruo opened her mouth but couldn’t come up with a rebuttal.

Back when Zhan Wei had just taken over the company, Lan Ruoruo saw potential in his leadership and anticipated the company’s future success. Determined to stop it early, she tried to crush his efforts while the company was still in its infancy. She frequently targeted him—snatching his clients and stealing his business opportunities.

Even under her constant pressure and interference, Zhan Wei successfully steered the company through adversity. He truly was a capable man.

No wonder his boss had been willing to transfer half of the company’s shares to him. Without Zhan Wei, the company wouldn’t be what it is today.

With Zhan Wei holding shares, he would be even more invested in managing the company well. Meanwhile, the boss, despite only retaining half the shares, could relax and still earn significant returns.

Lan Ruoruo couldn’t help but admire the boss’s foresight and business acumen.

“Miss Lan, you hit me and left my face swollen. I could have gone to the police and gotten a medical examination. I could have made you pay for my treatment. But all you said was ‘sorry’—and that’s it?”

Zhan Wei clearly wasn’t planning to let her off the hook that easily.

Lan Ruoruo fell silent.

He had every right to treat her this way.

After a brief pause, Lan Ruoruo finally relented. “I’ll have someone bring some ice for your face to reduce the swelling,” she said.

She pulled out her phone and called her secretary, instructing her to bring an ice pack.

When the secretary asked what it was for, Lan Ruoruo simply said not to ask questions and just get it done.

After ending the call, she turned to address everyone in the café. “Please don’t misunderstand—this man is not my husband. He and I are just business competitors.”

“Because I lost to him, I got angry. When I saw him treating his sister-in-law to coffee, I deliberately caused a scene to ruin his reputation and used the chance to slap him.”

“I was wrong. I sincerely apologize to Mr. Zhan and want to clarify that there’s no truth to the accusations. Mr. Zhan is single and doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”

“I’m truly sorry for disturbing everyone earlier.”

With that, Lan Ruoruo offered a public apology to everyone present, and especially to Zhan Wei.
Lan Ruoruo apologized to everyone, then offered a formal apology to Zhan Wei.

“Zhan Wei, I’ve asked my secretary to bring an ice pack. Once it arrives, apply it to your face—it’ll help reduce the swelling quickly.”

After speaking, she nodded apologetically at Haitong, turned around, and prepared to leave.

“Stop.”

Zhan Wei called out to her.

“Lan Ruoruo, look at my face—it’s red and swollen from your slap. Do you think an ice pack alone makes up for that?”

Lan Ruoruo turned back and looked at him. “What more do you want?” she asked.

If he dared push her further, she’d show him exactly how she handles people like him.

“You caused the swelling, so naturally you should help reduce it. When the ice pack arrives, I want you to apply it yourself—until the swelling goes down.”

Lan Ruoruo: “…Zhan Wei, don’t push your luck.”

She spoke through clenched teeth, her voice low, but Haitong still caught her tone and sensed her frustration.

“You’re the one who slapped me. If my face is swollen, it’s only fair that you help fix it.”

“Or I could just call the police and let the world see how unreasonable and arrogant the Lan family’s eldest daughter really is. I bet you’d make tomorrow’s front page.”

“Miss Lan, this is what happens when someone can’t accept defeat. If word gets out, I wonder who would still dare to do business with you?”

Lan Ruoruo: “…”

She suddenly regretted slapping him—it had backed her into a corner.

Of course, Zhan Wei wouldn’t actually call the police, because that would damage her reputation. But that wasn’t what worried her most. What she truly feared was how her actions might impact the Lan Group’s public image.
