Chapter 103 of "Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement" begins revealing exciting developments: Wu Taotao ordered takeout, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating while seriously listening to Ningwan... Don’t stop now!

Wu Taotao ordered takeout, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating while seriously listening to Ningwan rant. "That’s how it happened. What do you think, why is he angry?" Ningwan asked. Wu Taotao thought for a moment, holding a chicken leg in hand, and commented, "I think he’s angry because you didn’t listen to him and went to see Feng Jiuzun. That’s poaching; he’d definitely be upset." "Didn’t I stop Feng Jiuzun from poaching? I firmly refused," Ningwan said. "But going to see Feng Jiuzun was wrong in his eyes. Think about it, if you knew a woman had feelings for Zhan Hanjue and he went to see her, wouldn’t you be angry?" Wu Taotao retorted. Ningwan scoffed, "I’m not that petty. Just me? Who would even try to poach from me? I wouldn’t be mad." "You’re just being stubborn," Wu Taotao shook her head and took a big bite of the chicken leg. Ningwan didn’t expect the slap in the face to come so quickly. The next morning, Ningwan heard the schoolgirls gossiping at school. "Is it that actress Li Qingqing?" "It really is her, wow, as expected. But it’s understandable, a beauty with a tycoon. Such a stunning beauty being with a top-notch tycoon makes perfect sense." "The two of them standing together are a perfect match, total eye candy. I just want to drool over them." "My goddess, how can she stoop for money?" a male student lamented in agony. However, he was quickly struck down by the surrounding girls: "Even without money, her looks are leagues above yours." Jin Yingzi bit her lip and timidly looked at Ningwan asking, "Ningwan, are you okay?" Ningwan was surprised, "Why wouldn’t I be okay?" "Aren’t you angry hearing what they’re discussing?" "Why should I be angry?" Ningwan scoffed, "I don’t even know who they’re talking about, what does it have to do with me?" "It actually does concern you," Wu Taotao ran over, her face serious, showing Ningwan her phone, "Look, your Mr. Zhan had an affair." Ningwan: "..." It was an entertainment report, roughly stating: A top actress in the entertainment industry, Li Qingqing, was spotted on a late-night date with a mysterious man. After extensive investigation, the identity of the mysterious man was revealed to be Zhan Hanjue, the president of the Zhan Group. "Ningwan, are you okay!" Jin Yingzi asked again. Ningwan took a deep breath and sneered, "I’m fine, what could possibly be wrong? Taotao, you were right yesterday, indeed, the reason he’s angry with me is that I went to see Feng Jiuzun. So, he thinks since I did it on the first day, he has to do it on the fifteenth." "Ningwan, what do you plan to do?" Wu Taotao asked. Ningwan shrugged, "What else can I do? Of course, I need to have a meeting with this Miss Li. Didn’t it say that the two have actually had feelings for each other for years, even planning a wedding? Since my husband is getting married, I must at least pay my respects to the bride." Zhan Group President’s office. Chen Tan bowed his head in apology: "I’m sorry, Boss, I’ll have these news articles taken down immediately. It’s my oversight; I didn’t catch it in time, and allowed this to be exposed. I’ll also have our lawyers sue that magazine company right away." "Hold on," Zhan Hanjue asked, "Has this news already blown up? Everyone knows?" Chen Tan nodded, "Li Qingqing is very famous, her scandals always spread rapidly. I suspect someone from Li Qingqing’s side leaked it; this happened days ago, no reason for it to suddenly surface." "Then Ningwan should know too. Have someone find out how she reacted once she knew about this," Zhan Hanjue suddenly ordered. "Huh?" Chen Tan was momentarily stunned, "Boss, aren’t we dealing with the scandal first?" "No rush, first find out the wife’s reaction," Zhan Hanjue lightly coughed, insisting. "Oh, okay, I’ll send someone to find out immediately." Chen Tan finally came to his senses and quickly nodded. After Chen Tan left, Zhan Hanjue slightly curled his lips. Would she be angry and jealous? Or would she come storming angrily to settle scores with him? If she did come to settle scores with him, just as well, she’d understand how he felt yesterday and realize where she went wrong. "Hello." "Mr. Zhan, Jiuzun has already been sent to his father. Rest assured, he won’t be back for a year. We from the Feng Family hope this punishment is to Mr. Zhan’s satisfaction?" Feng Huai said over the phone. Zhan Hanjue replied coldly, "This is what the Feng Family owes me." Feng Huai laughed, "Indeed, this is the account the Feng Family owes Mr. Zhan. Let’s consider this matter done with. In the future, we’ll not interfere with each other." "Oh, suddenly I recalled something," Feng Huai seemed about to hang up, suddenly laughing, "I saw entertainment news this morning, Mr. Zhan and a female celebrity are involved in a scandal? With Mr. Zhan and Madam Zhan having such a deep bond, I wonder if this might negatively affect Mr. Zhan, like making him kneel on a washboard at home?" "Seems the Feng Family’s business hasn’t been great lately, Mr. Feng must be free enough to read entertainment news. Rest assured, Mr. Feng, even if I kneel on a washboard, it’s a fun marital matter for us. Someone like Mr. Feng, without a wife, couldn’t understand the joy." With that, Zhan Hanjue hung up the phone first. On the other end, Feng Huai was so angry his hands shook. He angrily tossed his phone heavily onto the table. He doesn’t have a wife, is it because he can’t find one? It’s because he doesn’t want to get married at all. Isn’t living the life of a single nobleman satisfying enough? Foolish young people, truly. Chen Tan quickly received the news from the school, reporting back to him. Listening to it, Chen Tan’s mouth twitched, his expression odd. But, since the boss was eager for news, he had no choice but to muster the courage and report it. "Boss, we’ve already gathered Madam’s reaction." "What reaction?" Zhan Hanjue immediately asked. "No reaction," Chen Tan quietly answered with his head low. "No reaction?" Zhan Hanjue frowned, raising his voice. Chen Tan sheepishly murmured, "If there is any reaction to speak of... Madam had an extra chicken leg this afternoon and drank a bubble tea. She ate a bit more than usual." Zhan Hanjue’s face turned blue with anger. This Ningwan...she really doesn’t care about him? Just then, Chen Tan’s phone rang again. He quickly took it out to answer. "Alright, I understand." "Boss, the school sent more news, saying Madam left the school to..." "To do what?" "To find Li Qingqing." Zhan Hanjue’s eyes lit up, going to find Li Qingqing? "She’s probably angry and going to settle scores with Li Qingqing," Chen Tan quickly said. Zhan Hanjue curled his lips, at least she didn’t disappoint him too much. "She knows where Li Qingqing is?" Zhan Hanjue asked. Chen Tan replied, "Miss Wu asked Young Master Leng for help, and Young Master Leng took them. It happens Li Qingqing has an event in Lin City, and they’ve already driven to Lin City." "Get ready, we’re going there too," Zhan Hanjue said. Chen Tan nodded and quickly went to arrange the transport.
