In the hospital.

Nan Yao looked at Bo Shaoxiu, who was lying on the hospital bed. Seeing his bruised face, her heart was full of hatred and anger. The handsome Bo Shaoxiu she was in love with was barely recognizable.

She never expected that the person who had celebrated their birthday in the number one ballroom of Huangting that night was Nan Zhi.

What’s more, Nan Zhi had found a man who was even more handsome and successful than Bo Shaoxiu.

Nan Yao had tried to get someone to investigate the man’s identity, but could not find anything.

It was quite mysterious.

That man was good looking and had a striking figure and had an overpowering charisma that could shake the heavens. He was most probably financially supported by some rich lady.

If she did not remember wrongly, the boss of Huangting was a woman. Thinking in such a way made Nan Yao feel more comforted.

Nan Zhi could not have a better life than her. She heard from her mother that Nan Zhi even had an illegitimate son. She was really shameless, undermining the Nan family’s reputation.

“Yaoyao?” Bo Shaoxiu looked at Nan Yao who had taken care of him day and night the past few days and a trace of guilt flashed in his dark brown eyes.

“Brother Shaoxiu.” Nan Yao’s gentle voice wavered as she looked at his bruised face. There were tears forming in the eyes that were looking at Bo Shaoxiu.

Bo Shaoxiu raised his sore hand and stroked Nan Yao’s face. “What’s wrong, Nan Yao?”

“Brother Shaoxiu, if you still can’t let go of Zhizhi, I’m willing to leave...”

Thinking of Nan Zhi, Bo Shaoxiu was both hateful and irritated. “Don’t mention that slut in front of me.” Bo Shaoxiu wanted to tear her up when he thought of how she had arranged for him to have sex with another woman. He could not act rashly as she had the video in her hands.

“Yaoyao, let’s have our wedding after I am discharged.” Through this incident, Bo Shaoxiu believed that Nan Yao truly loved him, he could not let down such a good woman anymore.

Besides, Nan Yao had their child.

“Yaoyao, I will also increase my sponsorship for your program.”

Nan Yao snuggled her face into Bo Shaoxiu’s chest, a gentle smile on her lips. “Brother Shaoxiu, I love you so much.”

Coming out from the hospital, she received a call from Bai Weiwei. Bai Weiwei had asked her to meet at a cafe.

As soon as Nan Yao reached the booth, Bai Weiwei complained tearfully to her. “Yaoyao, Old Tan dumped me. He’s not going to sponsor my program anymore.”

Hearing Bai Weiwei’s words, Nan Yao felt secretly happy. Bai Weiwei’s financier was the biggest sponsor for Delicacy Wins The World. If there was no financier, the gourmet program would have no choice but to be moved to the late night slot.

When that happened, what else could Nan Zhi do to compete with her?

Nan Yao put on an aggrieved expression and pretended to console Bai Weiwei.

Bai Weiwei wiped her tears and said begrudgingly, “Yaoyao, I saw Nan Zhi’s proposal at the meeting and it looked quite promising. If she’s able to get some interest during the sponsor’s meeting, she really might succeed.”

Although she did not like Nan Zhi, Bai Weiwei still admired her talent.

Nan Yao saw through Bai Weiwei’s thoughts and with a smile said, “Weiwei, my father said that he would promote me as long as I win. If that happens, I’d be more than happy to support you...”

Nan Yao handed Bai Weiwei a small bag. “Put the thing inside into Nan Zhi’s cup on the day of the sponsors meeting. She won’t not be able to go on stage.”

Bai Weiwei asked doubtfully, “Yaoyao, what’s inside?”

“You’ll know afterwards.”

...

It was Friday in the blink of an eye.

Nan Zhi was going to join Zhang Yijun at the sponsors meeting and she left the manor early to go to the broadcasting station.

She had just stepped into the office when Zhang Yijun, Xia Xi and Bai Weiwei arrived.

The four of them had a morning meeting to prepare for the sponsors meeting afterwards.

After finishing her work, Nan Zhi was thirsty and habitually picked up her cup to have a drink of water before preparing to leave.

Bai Weiwei stood in the corner of the office, giving Nan Zhi a surreptitious glance at the corner of her eyes. On the outside, she acted like she was organizing the files.

Seeing Nan Zhi picking up the cup, her heart sped up and she felt nervous and guilty.
