Chapter 273 Zhou Tao VS Yang Lan
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky. Although it was only a light snowfall, by the time we got off work at six o'clock, there was still a thin layer of white frost on the ground.

Yang Lan pushed his bicycle out of the shed, carefully checked his hat and scarf to make sure that nothing was exposed except his eyes, before riding his bicycle out of the compound.

Despite wearing a thick scarf and gloves, Yang Lan felt a sharp pain in her hands and face after riding for less than two stops.

So he leaned to the side, braced himself on the ground with his feet, took off his gloves, pulled down his scarf, breathed warm air into his palms, and then gently rubbed his cheeks.

She usually takes the bus, but in winter the buses smell strange, so she'd rather endure the cold than put up with those smells.

Just bear with it a little longer; everything will be alright once you get to America.

She had certainly seen "A Native of Beijing in New York," but what others saw was the protagonist, Guo Yan, who suffered domestic violence from her white husband, David, and fled her home in a panic.

What Yang Lan saw was that Guo Yan secretly helped her ex-husband and ruined David's business, which led to her own tragedy.

Ultimately, it's because Guo Yan was too stupid and acted on impulse!

If it were her, she would never have anything to do with her ex-husband again, let alone help him cheat on his white husband. If David needed her, she could easily help the white husband cheat on his ex-husband.

After rubbing her face for a while, feeling it warm up again, Yang Lan pulled up her scarf, put her gloves back on, and prepared to continue her journey home.

Suddenly a car drove past her.

The moment Yang Lan saw the car model being photographed, her eyes sharpened instantly.

It's that bastard's crown!

Yang Lan has a deep and unforgettable memory of this car.

She watched the car drive away, turn a corner, and then stop in front of a restaurant with a fierce look.

Seeing this, Yang Lan's eyes lit up. He quickly propped up his bicycle, got out, and grabbed a few broken bricks from the roadside, piling them all into the bicycle basket.

It's not convenient to take action on the TV station. Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, if we don't act now, when will we?

After picking up the bricks, Yang Lan pretended to be nonchalant and approached the car. He looked around to make sure no one was watching, then picked up a brick and prepared to smash it.

But after thinking about it, I stopped.

It wasn't that she suddenly had a kind heart, but rather that she thought that smashing the glass would definitely attract attention, so she decided to first quietly scratch the car paint and then smash the glass later.

That way I can finally breathe a little easier!

Thinking this, Yang Lan changed to a sharper small brick, spread his legs, pushed the cart closer, and moved it up.

dog man!
You got the better deal and you're still acting innocent!
squeak~
Hearing the screeching sound of friction and seeing the red and white marks left on the car as the car turned, Yang Lan felt incredibly pleased.

"what are you doing?!"

Suddenly a sharp shout came from behind, startling Yang Lan so much that he dropped everything and turned to run away.

As a result, the person who came quickly grabbed the back seat, and Yang Lan's car struggled for seven or eight meters in the snow with the other person in it before finally crashing flat on its back with a 'bang'.

Yang Lan was trapped under the car, but the other party nimbly avoided it.

Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes and the fall didn't hurt too much. Yang Lan sat up and subconsciously looked at the person who came, only to find that the other person was also fully armed, with only their eyes showing, just like him.

But that voice sounded familiar...

"Zhou Tao?"

"You're Yang Lan?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao recognized Yang Lan and quickly stepped forward, extending his hand and saying, "I'm so sorry..."

"what!"

She had barely started to move when Yang Lan cried out in pain, "Get off me, get off me! You're stepping on my foot!"

"is it?"

Zhou Tao looked down in confusion, then subconsciously increased the pressure by three points. After a moment, he pulled his foot off the wheel and said, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

In fact, she did it on purpose.

For the first time, Zhou Tao regretted not being heavy enough, otherwise he could have broken that bitch's legs!

Yang Lan could naturally see through her, after all, she knew what she had done, so she pushed the car aside and gritted her teeth, saying, "Stop pretending to be kind with your crocodile tears!"

"How am I being hypocritical?" Zhou Tao turned around and pointed to the Crown: "I saw you scratching Zhang Yan's car just now, and I thought you had run into a bad guy—by the way, why did you scratch Zhang Yan's car?"

Faced with her obvious question, Yang Lan, who had just gotten up from the ground, remained silent for a moment before sneering, "Stop pretending to be innocent. You know perfectly well why I did this!"

Yang Lan didn't actually have any evidence, but judging from her own experience, she always felt that Zhou Tao wasn't someone who was content with a simple life.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Tao was still pretending to be stupid. As long as she wasn't caught in the act, she would never admit to her relationship with Zhang Yan.

"you……"

Yang Lan was about to say something when the restaurant's curtain was lifted, and Zhang Yan came out. Looking at the two people arguing, he seemed to want to admit it but was afraid of making a mistake.

"Zhang Yan."

Zhou Tao waved to him and pointed at the Crown, saying, "Yang Lan just scratched your car with a brick."

Zhang Yan was speechless. Why did all these women seem to have a knack for picking on his car?
Yang Lan instinctively picked up the car, ready to flee at any moment.

However, Zhang Yan's words froze her in place: "Your car chain broke."

Yang Lan looked down and saw that the chain had indeed fallen off.

"Since you're already here, why don't you come in and have a chat?"

Zhang Yan was initially skeptical about whether Yang Lan would retaliate against him remotely after going abroad, but with this turn of events, he had to find a way to hold Yang Lan accountable.

Yang Lan hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Tao next to her, then at Zhang Yan, and finally pushed the car next to the Toyota and parked it. Then she went into the restaurant first.

Seeing this, Zhou Tao leaned close to Zhang Yan and asked excitedly, "Have you figured out how to treat her?"

Actually, she wasn't sure if Yang Lan would cause trouble at Intercontinental, but she definitely couldn't let Yang Lan get away so easily, otherwise she would have suffered a loss for nothing.
Zhang Yan shrugged and said, "What else can we do? We'll just give them a taste of their own medicine."

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and slipped into the restaurant.

Zhou Tao followed closely behind.

The three entered a small, partitioned private room. Yang Lan occupied one end by herself, while Zhang Yan and Zhou Tao occupied the other end.

Both women frowned and glared at each other, while Zhang Yan casually pushed a menu in front of Yang Lan and asked, "See if there's anything you'd like to eat."

Yang Lan glanced down at the menu, then suddenly blurted out, "You two had been having an affair before, didn't you?"

Zhang Yan, who was about to pour tea, paused for a moment, then calmly poured tea for himself and Zhou Tao before saying, "You're not the only one in this world who would slander people with empty words. Do you think if I had people write a bunch of letters of denunciation, your plan to study abroad would still be possible?"

Yang Lan's heart skipped a beat. This had hit her Achilles' heel. She had finally managed to persuade her parents and was mentally prepared to sever all ties with her husband. If her plans to study abroad were thwarted...

"so what?"

Yang Lan sneered, "Do you still dare to reveal what happened that day?"

"That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Zhang Yan shrugged and said, "Instead of waiting until you go abroad, where a phone call or a letter can frame us and smear us, and we can't do anything about it, we might as well drag you down with us now."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I don't make a living based on my looks, and my wife doesn't really care about these kinds of casual affairs. At most, she'll just complain about me—it's normal for men to have some romantic escapades when they're rich and powerful."

Saying this thirty years from now will likely draw criticism from boxers.

But Yang Lan didn't refute it. Instead, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Then what do you want?!"

If Zhang Yanzhen were to risk exposing their affair, it wouldn't just be a problem hindering her studies abroad; all the goodwill and reputation she had built up over four years at CCTV would be lost.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly, about to speak.

Zhou Tao, standing nearby, interjected first: "No matter the conditions, count me in!"

"Uh~"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan hesitated: "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

At this moment, Zhou Tao only had eyes for Yang Lan. If she hadn't been able to withstand the pressure back then, she would most likely have been out of the spotlight at CCTV for several years. She was determined to get revenge!
Anyway, now that we have a handle on Yang Lan, we're not afraid of Yang Lan retaliating.
