This feeling is like going home with your girlfriend, and her parents secretly tell you, "Zhenfei, you are a poor loser unworthy of marrying my daughter. The son of the richest man in our town likes my daughter. For her happiness, you should break up."

Su Wanlong and Su Wanhu, as Bai Ling's brothers, are practically like her parents. They're doing this for Bai Ling's sake, even though it makes both Ling Zhenfei and Bai Ling unhappy.

Isn't love just like this? So many hardships and obstacles lie within, and only those who persevere are rewarded in the end. How many people can endure the painful process?

Even if Ling Zhenfei has unparalleled medical arts, even if he has boundless power, so what? He still can't cure the ailment of love.

Wandering aimlessly on the street, Ling Zhenfei didn't even know what to do himself, though in a trance, he still sensed with his divine sense that someone was watching him from a distance.

Just in a car far away, Ling Zhenfei passed by after just coming out of the Su Family house. Although the car parked at a distance with the lights off, Ling Zhenfei still clearly knew there were two people inside.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned, genuinely surprised that there were indeed people trailing and secretly photographing him. He thought these two must be paparazzi or something.

Already feeling depressed, he got angrier and directly walked towards them.

Reaching the car, Ling Zhenfei knocked on the window. The window rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, full of awkwardness.

Being caught secretly photographing someone naturally made one feel very awkward.

"Which newspaper are you from?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

That person paused and then said, "We are from Today's News."

"Did you get any photos?" Ling Zhenfei inquired.

The man shook his head and said, "We didn't get anything."

Ling Zhenfei thought the man looked a bit scared of him and then said, "Alright, leave now, don't follow me anymore."

Relieved, the man said, "Goodbye."

After saying this, he quickly drove away, seemingly really scared of Ling Zhenfei.

Seeing a small bar nearby that looked quite nice, Ling Zhenfei walked in.

Sitting directly at the bar, he randomly ordered two bottles of alcohol and started drinking.

Feeling extremely depressed, he could only drown his sorrows in alcohol. As the saying goes, "One who drowns his sorrows, sorrows remain." The more he drank, the more he missed Bai Ling.

When he was with Bai Ling, he never felt this way. Now that he might lose her, the pain was unbearable, and all he could do was drink.

He drank glass after glass, and after finishing one, he ordered another. Ling Zhenfei wasn't even sure how many he had drunk.

Because he didn't use his spiritual energy, the alcohol got to him. Feeling a bit dizzy, somewhat in a daze, yet oddly comfortable, he was very much at ease.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the familiar number, he couldn't remember whose number it was, but he still answered the call.

"Hello, who's this?"

A woman's voice came from the other side, "Hello, Ling Zhenfei, this is Qin Lan."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, not expecting a call from Qin Lan. He wondered what she wanted this time.

"What is it, President Qin? Even if there's something urgent, it should wait until tomorrow, shouldn't it?"

Qin Lan laughed on the other end and said, "What's wrong, Boss Ling? You sound a bit upset. Who made you angry?"

Ling Zhenfei was upset and told Qin Lan, "President Qin, given our relationship, we aren't that close. Say what you need to, don't waste my time."

Qin Lan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Boss Ling, we may be competitors, but we are very familiar friends. Why speak so harshly?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't know what Qin Lan really wanted, coldly responding, "If you have nothing else, I'm hanging up."

Hearing that, Qin Lan hurriedly said, "Don't hang up! Boss Ling, I saw the news saying you are in Provincial City. I'm here too. How about we meet and talk?"

"Sorry, not interested," Ling Zhenfei bluntly refused.

Qin Lan laughed, "Boss Ling, I think we have some misunderstandings. But collaborating is beneficial for both of us."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Sorry, President Qin, we could have collaborated before, but your methods have left me disdainful. There's nothing for us to cooperate on now."

Perhaps due to his anger, Ling Zhenfei's words were very firm, leaving no room for compromise.

Qin Lan was a little angry over the phone, "Ling Zhenfei, don't be so harsh. Many restaurants may start using your produce, but with Fengming Group around, you won't have it easy. Only by working together can we both profit."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "I'm not collaborating with anyone. Xishan Manor is doing well on its own. If it's doing well, why should I collaborate and share the profits with you?"

Qin Lan was a bit stunned but said, "With our cooperation, you'll grow faster. Fengming Group's dining equipment is nationwide. If Xishan Manor joins us, we can make your produce number one in the shortest time, even worldwide. We have that ability."

Though Ling Zhenfei was angry and not as clear-headed as usual, he admitted Qin Lan wasn't wrong. Xishan Manor was indeed struggling to find markets currently.

With Fengming Group's help, Xishan Manor could become the biggest and the best in no time.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "President Qin, I know you wouldn't get up early without a profit motive. You'll benefit a lot from helping Xishan Manor become the best, right?"

Qin Lan, sensing a turning point, smiled and said, "Of course, I've always said cooperation is a win-win."

Ling Zhenfei responded with a cold laugh, "Sorry, I don't want to collaborate now, just want to develop on my own. President Qin, I appreciate your kindness. Just don't trip us up in the future."

Being rejected again, Qin Lan was angry, her voice turning cold, "Ling Zhenfei, you are the first to refuse me twice. Let's see, I'll make you regret it."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Qin Lan, you've seen my skills. Last time you said you'd make me regret it, but the next day you received my gift. So, I advise you not to be my enemy."
