ecause Jun Zhi牧's physique was usually so strong that people easily overlooked his physical issues. He asked nervously, "Do we need to go to Seattle…""Shut up!" Junzhimu got very annoyed when people b...If I wasn't Tang Yu's girlfriend, he wouldn't even look at me...
This statement, though filled with reluctance, is unavoidable.
Across from her, Guan Lei was a little surprised, raising an eyebrow. They had known each other for many years; Xia Chuixue, such a rational person, actually said that.
It turns out that Xia Chuixue loved him, loving him with such seriousness.
"Xiaoxue, have you ever thought that doing this would actually push him further away from you..."
Guan Lei suddenly remembered her own personal affairs, slightly pursed her lips with a hint of self-deprecating and suppressed emotion. Her tone became serious, "Although you've been able to seamlessly integrate into Jun Zhimu's circle these years, and both Old Master Jun and Jiang Meili have taken a liking to you, especially the introverted Jun Zhiyan who relies on you heavily, it all stems from your identity as Tang Yu's girlfriend. This very identity means that even if one day Jun Zhimu develops feelings for you, the two of you wouldn't be able to be together."
"He, the lord shepherd's personality, would absolutely never steal his brother's woman...What you're doing is..."
Xia Chui Xue's chest felt heavy with unease. After being confided in by Guan Lei, she suddenly stood up from her seat, fixing her gaze on the distant scenery outside the glass window, her thoughts drifting far away.
"I didn't think that much about it at the time."
Back then, when they were studying abroad together, Jun Zhi Mu was too dazzling. There were always so many beautiful girls who wanted to get closer to him. They were bold and open, almost trying every means possible to learn more about this man.
"At least right now, I get a bit more of his concern than a stranger would," Xia Chuixue murmured. Her words were like comfort to herself yet laced with sarcasm.
"That's true, Junzhi Mu is known for being aloof towards all women."
Guan Lei picked up the fork on the table and casually ate some spaghetti, but the next second, as if she had thought of something, her face darkened and she raised her voice, "By the way, what about Qiao Bao'er How is her relationship with Jun Zhi牧..."
Xia Chui Xue looked at the beautiful, sparkling lights in the distance, her expression tight and unpleasant.
"Qiao Bao'er."
Muttering the name, her tone couldn't hide a hint of ferocity. It was something she had worked so hard to obtain, yet that woman had it effortlessly, like being robbed of one's well-deserved credit after putting in countless hours of overtime.
"Qiao Bao'er..."
< Qiao Bao'er was originally sitting quietly in the corner of the Tang family banquet hall, but suddenly she felt someone staring at her from the left side. She immediately stood up alertly and walked over to investigate. >
The banquet hall was ablaze with lights. A number of people were waltzing in the center, while a string quartet played softly on the east side of the hall. Their music mingled with the murmurs and laughter of conversation, creating a warm yet dignified atmosphere.
Qiao Bao'er moved through the crowd, she dared not take too big a step, she half-lowered her head and walked cautiously. In fact, she wasn't in a good mood either.
Just now, she was ridiculed by Tang Yu's uncle. She usually had a sharp tongue, but in the end, she could only remain silent.
My nephew, that autistic fool, is not worthy of you...
Upon hearing her words, he let out a cold laugh. His voice was laced with grit as he said, "What Are you still the same as before, always ready to help him and protect him Do you genuinely care for him, or are you just bored and treating him like a joke Don't forget, you're the one who hurt him the most. What did you say to him You threw away your engagement ring in front of him, laughing at how you wouldn't marry someone like him—a shut-in. And you even told him never to appear before you again."
Qiao Bao'er's eyes were slightly red, her lips tightly pressed together. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
Actually that year... she was just too panicked, which is why she got angry and said those things.
“I’ve always wanted to apologize to him…” She lowered her head, her voice soft and choked with emotion, “Tang Yu, you bastard, where did you go!”
She always wanted to find him, but she couldn't!
"Tang Yu"
Just then, two tall figures suddenly walked out from the inner hall of the Tang family. A sharp, thin voice muttered these two words, and then let out a disdainful curse, “Who is so disappointing On such a good day, mentioning that idiot…”
Qiao Bao'er heard this slightly familiar and harsh voice, her face immediately darkened, and she stared straight ahead fiercely.
While the two women in front had been looking at Qiao Bao'er, they were first stunned for a moment. Soon Tang Fu recognized her and frowned deeply, very displeased. "It's you"
"I know you. You're that shameless little bastard who used to run around to our house all the time as a kid." The eldest Miss Tang raised her voice, sharp and cutting, speaking with cruelty.
Tang Yu was a bastard, not born to Lady Tang. However, coincidentally, Lady Tang gave birth to two daughters. The elders of the Tang family finally decided to let Tang Yu acknowledge his ancestors and return to the family, since Tang Yu's biological mother had died in childbirth anyway. They were determined to have Lady Tang accept this grandson.
The reality is not so simple. Lady Tang couldn't bear the child born out of wedlock in her heart, especially a boy. So, she secretly abused the handsome boy who had just started kindergarten, beating and kicking him.
Jo Bao'er would often sneak over then, because Tang Yu wouldn't fight back when he was scolded, wouldn't resist when he was beaten. He'd be locked in the trunk of a utility room and starve in fear, not even knowing how to cry. He just remained quiet and indifferent to everything, even his own life.
But she had strong opinions!
< Qiao Bao'er glared at the heavily-made-up mother and daughter before her, "You said that Tang Yu would return to the Tang family, then he would be a part of the Tang family and enjoy his inheritance rights. What nonsense did you say on stage tonight…” >
They announced that they would hand over the Tang family's company to their eldest son-in-law to manage, with the second son-in-law responsible for purchasing raw materials. All the dividends were taken by these people, and from beginning to end, she had not heard them mention the name "Tang Yu" at all, as if this name never existed.
"Our Tang family's business is none of your concern. Who do you think you are to point fingers here What qualifications do you have" Miss Tang said with disdain in her eyes.
" Qiao Bao'er was furious, "Don't think I don't know. Back then when your Tang family sent people to the city to find Tang Yu's grandfather, you had already made an agreement. As long as Tang Yu was willing to return to the family, he would get 30% of the company's shares. Your Tang family elders left written documents..."
Tang Fu listened to her words and felt a bit nervous inside.
Miss Tang's face darkened and contorted when she heard about the money. "30% of the shares In your dreams! You illegitimate child dares to compete with us for our inheritance, bah!"
Besides, that fool hasn't come back for so many years, we all thought he was dead, so the document is automatically void!
Jo Bao'er's face darkened, she almost wanted to rush over and beat someone up. Angrily, she roared, "What did you say He's dead! Tang Yu lives well, he will be back!"
"Whether he returns or not has nothing to do with our Tang family," Mrs. Tang, who rarely spoke, fixed her sharp gaze on Qiao Bao'er. She then glanced at the banquet hall packed with guests and said in a dignified voice that carried a chilling warning, "No matter how you got here, you best leave now."
Qiao Bao'er glared angrily at the Tang family bodyguards on both sides approaching her, their posture clearly indicating they wanted to force her out.
Miss Tang over there looked at her with disdain and said in a haughty voice, "You're just someone who came in to eat and drink for free. You better not interfere, get out immediately!"
There were some steady footsteps behind...
She came in with me..Song and Han Lu were both stunned, disbelief in their voices, "You're married""So, what's your relationship with Young Master Lu then"Han Lu couldn't help but gossip, "Could it be that Lu Qi Nan woul...
