Chapter 410: Chapter 410 What do you call a woman like me?

Li Lei saw Zhang Yang’s arrogant attitude and was genuinely angry.

But she had also come to understand Zhang Yang’s character; he was the type that didn’t respond to either soft or hard approaches.

She could only adjust her emotions before calling the waiter over again.

"Let’s order first. We can talk it out slowly."

However, Zhang Yang said, "Ordering is fine, but you have to drink two glasses with me."

"Otherwise, we will change the venue."

Li Lei certainly knew that by changing the venue, Zhang Yang definitely meant booking a room in a hotel.

After inwardly cursing him as disgusting and shameless, she agreed to Zhang Yang’s request.

After all, she had already drunk three glasses; two more wouldn’t make much difference.

Zhang Yang then took the menu and casually ordered a few dishes.

Soon, several dishes full of color, aroma, and taste were served on their table.

Looking appetizing, Zhang Yang didn’t hesitate to dig in, completely ignoring any intention to talk.

He was going for the "eat without talking, sleep without speaking" approach, which really infuriated Li Lei.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, we really don’t need this; if you don’t want to bring up my son, then let’s talk about something serious."

Hearing Li Lei’s words, Zhang Yang looked up with a half-smile and said to Li Lei, "For someone like you, a big boss, how come you don’t know any manners? Isn’t it customary to make a toast before talking shop?"

Li Lei was furious; she had already had three drinks and now she was being asked to drink again.

"Fine, I’ll drink," she said.

Li Lei even took the initiative to pour Zhang Yang a glass, then, holding her own glass, said to him, "Regardless, I truly want to toast to you. Your medical skills are indeed impressive; you saved my brother-in-law’s life."

After hearing this, Zhang Yang clinked glasses with Li Lei, "Don’t mention it, it’s just business. Although I’m not a businessman, I am quite principled, with a focus on integrity."

Li Lei rolled her eyes; quite an attractive gesture, actually.

The two of them drank a glass together, and Li Lei’s cheeks turned even redder.

The spicy taste made it difficult for Li Lei to continue speaking immediately; she hastily ate a few bites of food to alleviate the burning.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, I think you know the purpose of my visit, so let’s get straight to the point," she said.

Zhang Yang was noncommittal, "Sure, go ahead and speak your mind, I told you I’d give you a chance and I won’t go back on my word."

Seeing Zhang Yang’s dismissive attitude, Li Lei had a bad feeling.

Yet, she patiently said, "Mr. Zhang Yang, my brother-in-law’s illness indeed requires your medicine for further treatment."

"But I’m hoping you can change your terms. I know you’re not short on money, but there’s no need to be so difficult about it, right?"

However, after she finished speaking, Zhang Yang showed no reaction at all, as if he hadn’t heard her.

Silent silence, isn’t that just a refusal?

Li Lei’s expression darkened, "Mr. Zhang Yang, to put it plainly, you’re treating me this way just to get back at my son, aren’t you? You’ve already had your revenge last time, isn’t that enough?"

"The thing between a man and a woman is just that, since you’ve already had it once, I suppose the novelty is gone for you. So, why not change the terms to money? Just name your price, and I won’t haggle."

It was not in Li Lei’s nature to utter such explicit words, but she was truly out of options.

Who asked Zhang Yang to be so impermeable?

"Are you done?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I’m done. Give it some serious thought, and don’t let your emotions dictate your actions," Li Lei urged him while the iron was hot.

"Fine, then I’ll tell you my answer now, the same condition, I don’t want money, I want you,"

Mr. Zhang Yang said without hesitation, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation, which infuriated Li Lei on the spot.

She slammed the table and then splashed the liquor in front of her onto Mr. Zhang Yang’s face.

"You’re so shameless, I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you."

Mr. Zhang Yang, with his face covered in liquor, was also stunned for a moment, indeed not anticipating that Li Lei would do such a thing.

The waiter, who had been watching from the sidelines, promptly came over, a hot towel in hand.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, are you alright?" she asked while wiping his face.

Mr. Zhang Yang wasn’t actually that angry, and Li Lei’s reaction was understandable.

Seeing that the waiter was quite thoughtful, he said to her, "Thank you. Later, go get yourself two bottles of liquor, consider it my thanks to you."

The waiter was immediately overjoyed, and her face blossomed into a smile.

On the other hand, Li Lei, seeing Mr. Zhang Yang chatting and laughing with the waiter, felt humiliated and ignored, which made her even more embarrassed and annoyed.

Even more so, she felt a tinge of regret about her earlier behavior.

It seemed a bit too impulsive, and with Mr. Zhang Yang’s temperament, he wasn’t likely to let things slide.

Mr. Zhang Yang gestured to the waiter, who tactfully took her leave.

Then, picking up a cup of liquor, Mr. Zhang Yang addressed Li Lei, "Business might not have gone through, but courtesy remains. I’m not one to be petty, so this cup of liquor is to return the favor for the one you just splashed."

"Next time, remember not to splash baijiu on someone’s face—it could hurt their eyes, which would not be good."

Li Lei had thought Mr. Zhang Yang would be angry, would rant, and had even considered that he might splash the liquor back at her.

But she hadn’t imagined he would be so polite, yet she could feel that despite Mr. Zhang Yang’s seemingly genial surface, his words were ice cold.

Straight after drinking the cup of liquor, Mr. Zhang Yang put the cup down.

"Goodbye, there’s no need to contact me anymore."

Mr. Zhang Yang waved to Li Lei and turned to leave without a hint of looking back.

Li Lei’s face darkened, just as she had expected, Mr. Zhang Yang wasn’t one to let things slide easily.

"Mr. Zhang Yang, wait a moment,"

Li Lei called out to Mr. Zhang Yang again, but this time he didn’t even turn his head, nor did he slow his steps, marching towards the exit.

Li Lei hastily followed, feeling even more regret about her impulsive action earlier.

Once more grabbing Mr. Zhang Yang’s hand, Li Lei urgently said, "Mr. Zhang Yang, I’m really sorry for what happened just now, please don’t go, let’s talk this over again."

"There’s nothing more to talk about, haven’t we already discussed everything? You shared your thoughts, and I’ve told you mine."

"If we can’t agree, then there’s no point in continuing this discussion. Let’s not pretend that I, Mr. Zhang Yang, am forcing you."

Mr. Zhang Yang’s words made Li Lei speechless; was this not coercion?

"Mr. Zhang Yang, can’t you be reasonable? Apart from that one thing, I can agree to anything else."

Mr. Zhang Yang snickered coldly, "Well, that’s really too bad, because that ’one thing’ is precisely what I like, anything else I could not care less about."

"Right, you’ve just wasted several more minutes of my time. Although my time isn’t all that precious, I still don’t want to waste it on a woman like you."

Who would have known that this remark would also enrage Li Lei.

"What do you mean by ’a woman like me’? Make yourself clear," Li Lei demanded, reprimanding Mr. Zhang Yang.
