Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Faces Are Swollen from Being Slapped Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: Faces Are Swollen from Being Slapped By the time his affair with Yun Shan was exposed, he had no choice in the matter.

From that moment on, it wasn’t that he chose to let go of Hai Lan, but rather Hai Lan chose to let go of him.

Because Hai Lan could have tried to win him back, but he simply couldn’t win her back.

As soon as she turned around, she had better options, why would she choose him again?

The laughable part is that he had always thought Hai Lan would be heartbroken without him.

But that wasn’t the case at all!

Perhaps Hai Lan was even happy; if he hadn’t let go, how could she have ended up with Wen Jingheng?

Thinking of all this, Wei Zhijie felt even worse.

That’s just how petty people can be, when something they discarded is treasured by someone else, they feel uncomfortable and want to snatch it back.

But he couldn’t snatch it back anymore…

And he shouldn’t even try to, he already had Yun Shan, he couldn’t possibly have two women at the same time. Also, could he even compete with Wen Jingheng?

Knowing that he would never be with Hai Lan again in this lifetime, Wei Zhijie felt as if a piece of his heart had been gouged out, causing him immense pain.

It was only now that he realized what he had been looking forward to all this time – for Hai Lan to come begging to him, hoping she would have regrets, that she would hold on…

But all his hopes were thoroughly dashed!

“Both of you, now that you know about my marriage, please stop harassing me. I sincerely wish you an early marriage and a lifetime of happiness together,” said Hai Lan with a light smile, her tone free from any hint of reluctance.

Then she took Wen Jingheng’s arm, and her gaze involuntarily softened with tenderness, “Jingheng, let’s go. I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

Right after Hai Lan finished speaking, Mr. Yang, the host of the banquet, immediately came over and said with sincere apology, “Younger Brother Wen, sister-in-law, I’m sorry for not being a good host today and causing you laughter. I’ll make sure to invite you both for a meal to apologize another day, and you must give me the honor of your presence.”

Wen Jingheng chuckled, “Big Brother Yang, there’s no need to blame yourself for some inconsequential people, let’s gather another day. I have other matters today, so I’ll be taking my leave first.”

“Sure, let’s meet another day. Please, allow me to see you out. I am truly grateful you both could attend today. Ah, I was actually hoping to have a few drinks with you…”

But that was ruined by some tactless and ignorant people.

Mr. Yang didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Yun Shan’s complexion grew even uglier!

She had thought she was the honored guest while Hai Lan was just an invited performer, not as important as her. But now, how her face had been slapped swollen!

Hai Lan was the honored guest, the host himself came to apologize and even walked them to the door…

Yet, he didn’t even glance at them, making it crystal clear who the real guests of honor were!

It wasn’t just him; Hai Lan and Wen Jingheng didn’t give them a single look either, departing gracefully from the scene. Their composure and cultivation instantly made her and Wei Zhijie seem like uncouth country bumpkins without any manners.

Even Hai Lan didn’t bother to explain what had just happened.

She simply didn’t deign to explain. Wen Jingheng seemed unwilling to entangle with them as well. Their disdain further highlighted the vulgarity of Wei Zhijie and Yun Shan.

That’s exactly what it was – vulgarity.

A woman making a scene with tears and sniffles at someone else’s banquet, exhibiting petty small-mindedness, was like a village woman who didn’t know better and hadn’t seen the world.

A man, though the heir to the Wei Family, lacked any upbringing and distinction.
