Chu Tianye paused when he heard her question and looked at Su Yan.

Did this guy really not recognize him?

He scratched his nose and suddenly chuckled. In fact, there was a bit of history between him and Su Yan.

About three years ago, when he was studying abroad, he had one night when he was a bit upset because a small business he was running had suffered some losses. He walked out of the campus gate aimlessly and found himself strolling down a food street.

At that time, he felt lost and didn’t know what to eat, and he was feeling a bit down. After all, building a business as large as Loong Corporation, as Chu Yu and Chu Xiaomeng had done, was incredibly challenging.

To be honest, Loong Corporation’s rapid growth was also due to the era in which it existed. During a time when information technology was rapidly advancing, Loong Corporation had easily earned billions with just one game. But now, with the world economy slowing down and facing crises, opportunities were much scarcer.

Chu Tianye had invested in several physical stores, but the returns were not substantial, and this was causing him some pressure.

While he was strolling down that street, he unconsciously stopped in front of a restaurant, hesitating about what to eat and feeling somewhat troubled.

At that time, a girl approached him and said, “Sir, are you facing any difficulties?”

Chu Tianye raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at the young girl. She was staring at him thoughtfully. “Is there anything you need help with?”

Chu Tianye didn’t say anything. The financial issues he was facing involved hundreds of millions, and they had nothing to do with the girl who was full of youthful exuberance.

So, he remained silent.

The girl earnestly continued, “How about going into the restaurant next door for a meal? There’s nothing that a spicy hot pot can’t solve. If there is, we can have two!”

Chu Tianye was taken aback.

The girl pointed at a nearby hot pot restaurant and said, “Let’s go in!”

Chu Tianye followed her inside.

They casually found a seat, and the girl called over a waiter and ordered an extremely spicy hot pot.

When the dishes arrived, the girl handed Chu Tianye a pair of chopsticks. “Eat and you might cry, but it’s fine.”

Chu Tianye didn’t cry during that meal. However, the level of spiciness did shock him.

Although his mother enjoyed some spicy dishes, he didn’t know that there was something in this world that could make your throat feel like it was on fire.

So, with his first bite, he teared up from the spiciness.

When he looked across the table, he saw the round-faced girl eating with tears and snot streaming down her face. She sniffled and said, “This is so damn refreshing!”

Chu Tianye,

Chu Tianye put down his chopsticks, realizing that he couldn’t handle this level of spiciness. He curiously observed the girl.

The girl, struggling with the spiciness, had a rather inelegant way of eating.

As she continued eating, she suddenly covered her throat and gestured towards her throat, then pointed in the direction of the restroom.

Chu Tianye nodded in understanding.

The girl then went off to freshen up, and Chu Tianye assumed she was going to wash her face.

As he thought about it, he suddenly noticed something was wrong with the hot pot…

Most of the side dishes remained untouched, but almost all the meat and vegetables had been devoured.

He turned his head in the direction of the restroom.

There was a constant stream of people coming and going, and the girl still hadn’t come out…

Chu Tianye couldn’t believe it. He, who had always been frugal, had been tricked by someone?

It wasn’t until two hours later when the restaurant staff came over and asked him to pay the bill…

Chinese food abroad was generally quite expensive, and that meal cost him nearly 500 RMB.

Chu Tianye was scammed for the first time in his life, and it was by this woman.

So, when he saw her while selecting a wife, he chose her. He wanted to take revenge, especially considering how petty he was.

However, Su Yan had completely forgotten about that incident.

Chu Tianye wanted to bring it up, and make her feel embarrassed, but when he thought about her current situation, especially the humiliation she had just endured from her biological mother, the words he wanted to say remained unspoken….
