Wushuang's words were harsh, but Tiantian had indeed made a mistake first, so she could only endure it.
"What do you mean, in front of people like me? What do you mean, my true colors?"
"Wushuang, I admit I didn't tell you the truth about Chen Dongyang and me, but it was purely because things happened unexpectedly, and each step was beyond my control. I didn't know how to tell you, so I chose to conceal it. It doesn't mean our friendship is in trouble."
"We've known each other for so many years, don't you know me? How can you say that?"
Wushuang looked at her coldly, "Do I know you? I thought I did before, but after this incident, I realized my understanding was superficial; I don't know you at all. I can only say that what I know is merely what you wanted me to know."
"I shouldn't say that to you, then how should I say it? Miss Jiang, you hid it so well, so brilliantly, you must be so pathetic?"
"You have such good parents, such a good background, such good older brothers and sisters, and now you're dating a promising young boyfriend. Yet you have a stomach full of grievances you can't tell outsiders. You're miserable, is that how I should understand it?"
Tiantian: "..."
Wushuang was angry now, and arguing with her about this was pointless.
She would just endure it.
"I'll explain about Chen Dongyang later. Let's not talk about us now, let's talk about you and that Mr. Zhang. Did you break up with him? Did he threaten you? Even if he didn't threaten you, it would be uncomfortable for you to stay at the company after breaking up. Have you considered changing jobs?"
Every word Tiantian spoke was from the bottom of her heart, thinking of Wushuang. But Wushuang didn't want to hear any of it.
She had given her wholehearted sincerity to a relationship, only to be betrayed in both love and friendship. She was in a state of questioning life.
Tiantian's concern only made her feel hypocritical and disgusted.
"You don't need to mind my business, mind your own."
"There are so many good men available for you to choose from, yet you had to snatch him from me. I liked Chen Dongyang first! It was because of your advice that I chose this scumbag."
"And what happened? I backed out, and you got together with him. Do you think your relationship with him has nothing to do with me? You don't need to explain it to me?"
"Miss Jiang, you truly have the demeanor of a pampered young lady. You betrayed me and then tried to shift the focus, making me grateful to you in another way. Should I thank you now for thinking of me?"
Tiantian was stunned, her nose stinging.
Wushuang must have known she didn't mean it that way.
"Wushuang, no, listen to me..."
Wushuang interrupted her, "I don't want to listen anymore, what's the point? I'm just an ordinary person with no power or influence. Gaining me and losing my friendship has no impact on you, why waste time with me?"
"I've already settled the bill, I won't take a single cent of advantage from you. There's no point in talking further, let's leave each other with some dignity."
"That's it, Miss Jiang. Let me go, stop talking. There's no need to lower your status for someone like me."
Wushuang left, leaving Tiantian sitting alone for a long time.
A surge of anger rose in her throat, with nowhere to vent, making her grind her teeth in hatred.
However, after less than five minutes, Tiantian quickly regained her composure and called her childhood friend, Lu Huaijin.
She asked him to help investigate Director Zhang's background.
Lu Huaijin had liked Tiantian since he was young. Knowing that his status and position were not worthy of her, he had always silently treated her well.
Now that he had a chance to help Tiantian, he was overjoyed and quickly came to the coffee shop with the information to meet Tiantian.
"Why are you investigating him? Such a small fry, do you, the great Miss Zhan, really need to personally deal with him? What's wrong? How did this scumbag offend you?"
Tiantian disdained to explain. She took Lu Huaijin's phone and read through the information from beginning to end.
"He's indeed not worth my personal effort. Then help me make a trip. I want him to be infamous, ruined, and unable to stay in Nancheng."
"Oh, you hate him quite a bit."
Lu Huaijin couldn't understand how this person had offended Tiantian.
"Tell me, how did he offend you? That way, I can gauge my actions accordingly when I deal with him."
Tiantian explained, "He didn't offend me. He offended my best friend."
So that was it, and Lu Huaijin understood.
"Alright. Tomorrow at the latest. Wait for my good news."
But Tiantian couldn't wait even a second longer.
"Go now. By 5 PM at the latest. Every extra second of tolerance is disrespect to this scumbag."
Lu Huaijin, who had never seen Tiantian so flustered in his life, couldn't help but laugh.
"Since we're going to do something so satisfying, wouldn't it be a shame if you didn't witness it yourself? You're not busy anyway, come with me."
Tiantian initially disdained to take action, but she also wanted to see that scumbag begging for mercy.
"Fine. Then I'll waste some time on this scumbag."
Lu Huaijin drove, making calls as he went, and soon contacted the owner of the advertising company where Wushuang worked.
They were all in the same circle. Upon hearing that he had offended the great Miss Zhan, the boss used a casual excuse to summon the director to a club.
Soon, Tiantian and Lu Huaijin arrived together.
The three sat on the sofa in the club, drinking tea. The director, who usually acted arrogantly in front of outsiders, stood respectfully opposite them.
Upon seeing Tiantian, the man surnamed Zhang's expression immediately changed. He must have guessed what was about to happen, but he forced a calm expression.
The boss got straight to the point, not asking him to sit, and said lazily.
"Do you know why you were called here?"
He shook his head, "Please enlighten me, President Tang."
"You don't know? You don't even know how you offended our great Miss Zhan? Then you're in for a rough night."
The boss looked at Lu Huaijin, "I was going to put in a good word for you if you showed a good attitude when admitting your mistake, but you're not playing along. I can't help you anymore, President Lu, it's up to you."
Lu Huaijin sat casually, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. The man surnamed Zhang glanced at him, and his back immediately tingled.
He could only look at the boss again.
"I've worked hard in the company for so many years. Although I'm your subordinate, every salary I receive is earned through my labor, and I'm not inferior. If I haven't made any mistakes in my work, President Tang, you don't have the right to trample on my human rights, do you?"
President Tang laughed, "Look, he's still a senior executive of our company. Before we've even said anything, he's already elevated our actions to trampling on human rights. You two, be careful. Don't do anything, and then have him sue you for infringing on personal rights or something. These old foxes in the workplace are all very cunning."
Lu Huaijin also laughed, his laughter laced with sarcasm.
"Indeed. Otherwise, with his looks and income, how could he have five girlfriends simultaneously? He can only fool people with his smooth talk. Miss Zhan, he denies knowing you and denies offending you. Look at this mess."
