Chapter 1905: I’ll Leave The Company To You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I’m fine, I’m fine. Don’t worry. Xiaoyu, Mr. Gu just…”
“I have nothing to say to him.”
Tang Xiaoyu turned around and looked at the butler. “Butler, fix an appointment with the family doctor, I want to bring Mr. Li for a full body checkup. The earlier the better, best if it’s done this afternoon.”
Tang Xiaoyu did not allow him to reject her. She squatted down to pour a cup of hot tea for him and brought it to him. “Mr. Li, the last time was because you were unwilling to go to the hospital for a physical examination. Now, you have no choice. If you really fall ill, the company will still have me in the future. I won’t let your life’s work be ruined by me. Your health is important now, and I don’t want Duoduo to forget you when she grows up and has her own memories.”
Tang Xiaoyu pretended to console him in a sweet tone. She knew that he had been alone for too long, so Duo Duo became more important to him.
“Oh, right. There’s still Duo Duo, I almost forgot. Okay, I’ll listen to you, I’ll go do the checkup. I’ll leave the company’s matters to you, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me or ask the company’s manager. My secretary can do it too. Don’t worry, the people around me are trustworthy.”
Mr Li smiled and gave Tang Xiaoyu some instructions. He then turned to look at Duo Duo, only to realize that Duo Duo was looking at the entrance where Gu Zhengrong had left.
“Duo Duo, she…”
Mr Li’s voice was somewhat reserved as he looked at Duo Duo. The innocence of a child could not be deceived.
Duo Duo’s gaze was on Gu Zhengrong, but now that Gu Zhengrong had mistaken Duo Duo for Mr Li and Tang Xiaoyu’s daughter, the resentment in his heart increased. In the time that Tang Xiaoyu had been gone, she was actually fooling around with another man behind his back and now had a daughter.
From the looks of it, that daughter of his was more like Tang Xiaoyu, but even so, it could not offset the anger in Gu Zhengrong’s heart. He had been thinking about Tang Xiaoyu building a love nest with another man for so many days. Now, she was even staying by this man’s side and appearing in front of him as his mistress.
“Tang Xiaoyu, why did you do this? Why did you do this to me?”
As Gu Zhengrong drove, he could not stop his tears from flowing. The woman he had been longing for was actually going to reappear with this ident.i.ty. After lying low for so long, he actually did not discover anything.
When he first met Mr Li, Gu Zhengrong did not realize that Tang Xiaoyu would be together with him. This was something that would never happen in the past.
“Tang Xiaoyu, why did you choose to leave me? Why? How am I inferior to this old man? Is it because I’m not as rich as him? Is it because I’m not as mature as him?”
Gu Zhengrong slammed his hand on the car’s steering wheel and looked at the traffic light. He could not control the tears at the corner of his eyes. His heart was already broken. What was wrong with this world? Why did the woman he cared about never care about him? Why did everything turn out like this?
“Xiaoyu, why did you come back and become like this? What did I do wrong? I was in the wrong previously, but you’re treating me like this now. Do you really have the heart to do this? Don’t treat me like this, okay?”
Gu Zhengrong waited for the red light before driving the car to the furthest beach. He sat alone by the sea and took out a box of beer from the trunk. He sat on a rock and opened the bottle directly and drank a bottle in one go.
“Xiaoyu, if you treat me like this, you win. I’ll give you my heart, but…”
At this moment, in Mr Li’s villa, Tang Xiaoyu was sitting beside him. She looked at him with concern in her eyes and said nervously, “Mr Li, you have to listen to me this time. This time, you have to do a proper physical examination. No matter what your physical condition is, you have to rest well. Only then can you watch Duo Duo grow up better.”
“Alright, I got it. How can I fall so easily? I still have to watch Duo Duo grow up. I have to watch her become more and more beautiful. I also have to watch so many young men chase after Duo Duo. So, how can I die so easily?”
Mr Li’s voice carried a smile and his benevolent eyes were filled with reluctance to part with Duo Duo and Tang Xiaoyu.
It was just a coincidence that they met on the plane, but it seemed like fate had brought them together.
“Don’t say that, Mr Li. You’re the pillar of our family, so—”
Tang Xiaoyu’s words were already very obvious. Mr Li figured out what she wanted in her eyes as she looked at him.
“Don’t worry, Xiaoyu. I’m fine. Didn’t you already make an appointment with the family doctor? I’ll go over in the afternoon, right?”
“Yes, the family doctor said that he can arrange for you to go over in the afternoon. The hospital will also make sure that the paparazzi outside won’t notice anything and won’t result in any negative repercussions to the company. So, Mr Li, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”
Tang Xiaoyu consoled him. Seeing the worry in his eyes, Tang Xiaoyu’s heart ached.
What right did she have to have a benefactor like Mr Li to help her? How much pain and pressure did she have to endure to choose to stand by Mr Li’s side? A man who chose to help her deal with the man she used to love the most.
“Mr Li, thank you. Thank you for always being willing to stay by my side.”
Tang Xiaoyu choked as she looked at Mr Li with teary eyes.
“Xiaoyu, we’re a family. There’s no need to thank each other. Have you thought of how to explain Duo Duo to Gu Zhengrong? He seems to have misunderstood. What if this misunderstanding continues?”
Mr Li was still concerned about Duo Duo being Gu Zhengrong’s biological woman, but when his illness acted up, he clearly saw Gu Zhengrong treating Duo Duo as his and Tang Xiaoyu’s child.
“It’s okay. Duo Duo is my daughter. If I don’t say it and you don’t say it, I don’t think Gu Zhengrong will know.”
Tang Xiaoyu looked up at Duo Duo who was sitting in the pram.
