Chapter 1888: A Person’s Fate Is Determined
Tang Xiaoyu let go of Mr Li’s hand and walked to Gu Zhengrong. She had actually become such a woman in Gu Zhengrong’s eyes. For those vanity things, she could actually sell her soul and body.
“In your eyes, other than Pei Ge, all other women are the same type. Don’t you think that I’m joking when I bought that ring with $100 million? Then, I can tell you right now that the thing I want to joke with you is yet to come. If you’re interested, you should watch it patiently. I, Tang Xiaoyu, am not just a woman like that in your eyes. I’ll make you wait and see.”
Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Zhengrong tenderly.
“Gu Zhengrong, don’t regret what you said to me today!”
Tang Xiaoyu walked forward, and the cold aura around her actually made Gu Zhengrong retreat. It was as if he was not facing Tang Xiaoyu, but a cold and aloof woman in the workplace wearing Tang Xiaoyu’s skin. Every step she took was like the wind.
“Xiaoyu, you…”
Gu Zhengrong wanted to explain, but when the reason reached his mouth, he could not say anything.
“Mr Li, let’s go. That ring will be sent back to our house in the afternoon. There’s no need to wait here.”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at Mr Li suggestively. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Gu Zhengrong, and her smug smile lingered in her eyes for a long time.
“Xiaoyu, don’t go. I have something to tell you.”
Gu Zhengrong watched Tang Xiaoyu leave with Mr Li. He felt guilty for his earlier words. “Xiaoyu, don’t go. Don’t go.”
“After you’re gone, when can I see you again?”
However, Gu Zhengrong did not finish his words. Seeing Tang Xiaoyu and Mr Li getting closer to each other, Gu Zhengrong’s heart bled.
The blood got deeper and deeper, making Gu Zhengrong feel more and more afraid.
The last time Tang Xiaoyu left was when he did not see her. Now that he saw her walking away with an old man, his heart suddenly ached.
He had clearly thought about leaving so many times, but in the end, he lost his original intention in this real exercise.
He thought that he would not be too upset, that he would not believe the rumors that had been going around recently that Mr Li had found a young and beautiful woman to be his secretary and had even moved into his house. After all, Mr Li had never allowed a woman to move into his house.
Gu Zhengrong stood rooted to the ground. He could not hear the people around him and could only see Tang Xiaoyu’s figure and her provocative words before she left.
What was wrong with Tang Xiaoyu whom he had not seen for so long? Did she hate him so much?
But why didn’t she give him a chance to explain himself? If she could understand hus current feelings, she might really regret it.
However, Tang Xiaoyu had no idea what Gu Zhengrong was thinking about. The moment she stepped out of the auction hall, she quickly let go of Mr Li’s hand and apologized, “Mr Li, I’m really sorry. It was all too sudden, so I…”
“It’s alright. I have already agreed to help you deal with Gu Zhengrong, so why would I be afraid of you making use of me? Let’s go home. I’ve been out for so long and haven’t had the chance to see my Duo Duo.”
“Okay, let’s go home.”
Tang Xiaoyu nodded and opened the door for Mr Li to get in before she got in.
At the thought of her daughter, Duo Duo, Tang Xiaoyu could not help but recall that this little la.s.s had become cute and smart recently and had even learned how to signal with her eyes what she wanted to eat.
“You’re still a mother. Are you sure you don’t want to tell him? If he finds out that he has a daughter, he’ll be over the moon. I can tell that he has feelings for you. You should think carefully about whether you should consider your relations.h.i.+p with him.”
“There’s no need. Mr Li, I know you mean well, but I don’t think there’s a need to consider it. After all, there’s already an obvious ending. He treated me like that kind of woman, I really don’t know what to say.”
Thinking of how Gu Zhengrong treated her like a woman who knew how to do business, Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes burned with anger. How bad was she in his eyes? So bad that she would be misunderstood by him if she left with Mr Li?
“Actually, I don’t think it’s a big deal. I can tell from his eyes that he still has feelings for you.”
Mr Li looked at Tang Xiaoyu. They clearly loved each other, so why couldn’t they start afresh? From his point of view, love that could not be together was an ill-fated fate.
Mr Li had many ill-fated relations.h.i.+ps.
“Mr Li, you don’t have to persuade me. I know what I’m doing. It’s just a pity that I spent $100 million to buy a ring today.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not care about Gu Zhengrong’s gaze. All she cared about now was how to save her young and ignorant self from him.
“Okay, okay, okay. I won’t talk about you anymore. So what if it’s $100 million? If you’re unhappy, I can throw in this $200 million. What’s there to be afraid of with this little money?”
Mr Li did not care. From his point of view, if Tang Xiaoyu was unhappy, he would keep this much money for Duo Duo as her dowry.
“Mr Li, thank you for helping me like this.”
Tang Xiaoyu thanked him sincerely but he did not see the same emotion in her eyes.
“Xiaoyu, why are you still so polite? I’m doing this for Duo Duo. If you want to deal with Gu Zhengrong, I’ll help you. However, Duo Duo is my granddaughter, no matter if she’s my biological granddaughter or my G.o.d-granddaughter, she’s still my family. If an old man like me really ends up dead one day, I’m afraid that Duo Duo will have to clean up for me.”
Mr Li’s words made sense, but in Tang Xiaoyu’s mind, it was completely different from Mr Li using Duo Duo as an excuse to help her.
“Mr Li, you’re still young. Don’t belittle yourself like this. A person’s fate is set, you’re in such good health, you can even help me take care of Duo Duo.”
