My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 88 What future do you have if you follow him?

Tan Haoyu's eyes were full of concern as he said softly, "If you're tired, there's a rest area over there. Go sit down for a while."

Zhu Ziqing nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself. You go and do your thing."

She knew in her heart that she could not rely too much on Tan Haoyu and that she had to think independently.

Zhu Ziqing's thoughts drifted back to her family days, and her mother's gentle yet timid face appeared before her eyes.

My mother was submissive and lacked her own opinions throughout her life. She always let others arrange everything in the family, big or small, and eventually ended up depressed and unhappy.

Zhu Ziqing secretly resolved that she must never repeat her mother's mistakes.

She wants to be an independent woman who can control her own destiny.

Now, even though Tan Haoyu is by her side, she understands that in the end, she can only rely on herself.

Inside the banquet hall, melodious music and dazzling neon lights intertwined, creating a dreamlike and luxurious atmosphere.

Celebrities from all walks of life, dressed in fine clothes and holding champagne, chatted in small groups, their laughter filling the air.

This is Shenzhen's top social circle, where every corner is permeated with the atmosphere of money and power.

With Tan Haoyu gone, Zhu Ziqing was left alone, drinking by herself and gazing at the night view of Princess Mountain outside the window.

The people around her were either busy with their own business negotiations or catching up with old friends, and no one came up to chat with her.

The main character of the dinner, Jack Tan, the head of the Sunshine Group, remains mysterious and has yet to make an appearance.

He seemed to be manipulating everything from behind the scenes, adding even more suspense to this grand event.

In this slightly awkward atmosphere, Zhu Ziqing quietly went to the lounge.

As soon as we sat down, a waiter brought us delicate pastries and steaming hot tea.

These were all arranged in advance by Tan Haoyu.

She gently picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth.

Instantly, the crispy outer layer cracks between your teeth, and the sweet filling bursts forth, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.

A warm feeling welled up in Zhu Ziqing's heart.

Tan Haoyu's thoughtfulness brought her a sense of comfort in this unfamiliar environment.

Just as Zhu Ziqing was immersed in her own little world, an uninvited guest broke the tranquility.

Wan Qingsha strode forward and walked straight to the opposite side of Zhu Ziqing.

He sat down with a thud, a haughty and disdainful smile on his face.

The moment Zhu Ziqing saw Wan Qingsha, her brows furrowed slightly, and the once delicious snacks became hard to swallow.

She was filled with surprise and dissatisfaction, and she couldn't understand why the person who had hurt her in the past would appear at this moment.

Wan Qingsha crossed her legs and looked at Zhu Ziqing with a provocative gaze.

He deliberately raised his voice and asked, "Hey, Zhu Ziqing, what are you doing here? This isn't a place for you."

His voice echoed in the lounge, instantly attracting the attention of those around him.

Zhu Ziqing was secretly annoyed; she really didn't want to become the center of attention.

But if he got up and left now, it would only make the situation more awkward.

Left with no other choice, she could only coldly reply, "My presence here is none of your business, Wan Qingsha. Please leave. I don't want any contact with you."

Wan Qingsha seemed not to have heard Zhu Ziqing's words.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, forcing her to sit down and talk.

"What, so cold to your ex? I just wanted to catch up with you." A hint of malice flashed in his eyes.

Zhu Ziqing struggled to get up and leave.

But Wan Qingsha's hands were like iron clamps, tightly binding her.

Her face flushed red, filled with shame and anger, yet she felt utterly helpless.

At this moment, everyone around them turned their attention to them.

Zhu Ziqing felt as if she were under a spotlight, becoming a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

She didn't want the situation to get any more out of control.

He was forced to sit down again, but the dissatisfaction and unease in his eyes grew even stronger.

Wan Qingsha suddenly stood up, his tall figure casting a shadow in front of Zhu Ziqing.

He lowered his head slightly, looking down at Zhu Ziqing with a superior air.

A slow, arrogant smile, tinged with a hint of lewdness, tugged at the corners of his mouth.

That smile seemed to be a boastful display of prey that was about to be caught.

Upon seeing that smile, Zhu Ziqing felt a wave of nausea wash over her, and a strong sense of disgust welled up inside her.

She turned her head away and said coldly, "Don't even dream about it, I won't go with you."

When Wan Qingsha saw that she refused, her face instantly darkened.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he lowered his voice and threatened, "If you don't come with me, I guarantee Tan Haoyu will come in upright and leave crawling."

You wouldn't want to see him get hurt because of you, would you?

Zhu Ziqing was startled upon hearing this.

She knew all too well that Wan Qingsha was ruthless and capable of anything.

For Tan Haoyu's safety, she was reluctant but had no choice but to grit her teeth, stand up against her will, and slowly follow behind Wan Qingsha.

The banquet hall was on the second floor, and they were heading towards the balcony.

The balcony was dimly lit, with only a few wall lamps casting a faint glow, as if they might go out at any moment.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only faint music and conversations coming from the distant hall.

Occasionally, a few waiters or guests who came to get some fresh air would pass by outside, but they would only glance at them briefly before turning away.

Wanqingsha seemed quite satisfied with this place.

He strode to the balcony railing, turned around and stood still, crossed his arms, and gestured for Zhu Ziqing to come over.

As Zhu Ziqing walked slowly, she quietly observed her surroundings.

She secretly pondered to herself, although this place was remote.

But with people coming and going, Wan Qingsha probably wouldn't dare to do anything outrageous in public here.

With that thought in mind, she composed herself and quickened her pace to catch up.

As Wan Qingsha watched Zhu Ziqing approach, her arrogant expression returned.

He looked Zhu Ziqing up and down, and praised her, "Zhu Ziqing, you've become even more charming than before, it's been a while."

But what future do you have following that kid Tan Haoyu?

He was just the president of Feiyang Technology, a nobody in Shenzhen's business world.

Unlike me, the future heir to the Wan Group, whose every word sends the entire city of Shenzhen trembling.

As Wan Qingsha spoke, she tried to get closer to Zhu Ziqing, her eyes full of flirtatiousness.
