  Tang Xiaoyu sat on the sofa. The soft cushion allowed her to relax for a moment. Thinking of what she had done to Gu Zhengrong, Tang Xiaoyu could not bring herself to be ruthless. “Ge Ge, do you think money can buy what I want? If I take away what Gu Zhengrong wants, will he hate me?”


  Tang Xiaoyu paused for a moment and looked at the sweat on her palms. She could not help but feel guilty and continued, “Ge Ge, if what I do can make him hate me, then I don’t mind. I’m willing to do it.”


  “You silly girl. You have no idea how important you are to Gu Zhengrong.”


  Pei Ge recalled that Zhang Manhua had told her that when Tang Xiaoyu had gone missing, Gu Zhengrong caused trouble for Zhang Manhua for many days but still did not receive any news of Tang Xiaoyu’s disappearance, so he had no choice but to continue working at the company.

  “But Ge Ge, do you know that Gu Zhengrong’s place in my heart isn’t as important as before?”


  Tang Xiaoyu looked at the few glasses of red wine on the coffee table beside her. They were all specially supplied wine from this manor and each of them was the best of the best. They were all recommended in her best friend’s proposal.

  “I know, so you don’t have to worry now, Xiaoyu. I’ll be by your side.”


  Pei Ge put down the knife in her hand and looked at the sunlight outside the window. Her mind was filled with images of Tang Xiaoyu and her walking in each other’s footsteps like children in winter.

  “Ge Ge, perhaps money can’t buy what I want, but I know that when I don’t have money, I still have you by my side. That’s enough. As long as I have the confidence, that’s enough.”


  Tang Xiaoyu took a deep breath and raised a glass of red wine. As she drank it, Pei Ge’s soft voice rang in her ears. In this world, the most gentle person was none other than Pei Ge, who was on the phone with her.

  “Alright, you have to believe that I will always be by your side and protect you.”


  Pei Ge finally felt mushy. Looking at Ji Ziming beside her, her voice finally returned to normal. “Xiaoyu, come back when you’re free or I’ll look for you when I’m free and cook something delicious for you. I wonder if the food made by Mr Li’s chef is to your liking.”


  “Okay, then you have to come and find me quickly. I’m waiting for you here. If you don’t come and find me, then I’ll go back to China and visit my three children. I haven’t seen them in a long time. I miss them so much.”


  Tang Xiaoyu placed the wine glass on the coffee table. Her eyesight suddenly became misty, as if the place she was in was not a place for her to relax.

  “Ge Ge, I still have something on. I’ll hang up first.”


  Tang Xiaoyu hung up the phone and clearly felt that she could not stay here any longer. Initially, with Mr Li by her side, she had purposely left him to find a quiet place to call Pei Ge. Now, it seemed that her actions were all harmful to herself.

  “Why is my head so heavy? Why are there two glasses?”


  Tang Xiaoyu lowered her eyes and saw that her hand was shaking in the air. She was worried. What did she drink to have such a big reaction?

  At this time, she should be beside Mr Li and Lady Mary discussing how the manor should be run, but now was not the time for Tang Xiaoyu to think about these things.

  “My head…… Why is my head getting more and more dizzy? I feel so uncomfortable, why…… why is it so uncomfortable……”


  Tang Xiaoyu cried out in her heart. The red wine that she had drunk in this cold and uninhabited place might have been deliberately placed there by someone else, but she did not know if that person was targeting her.

  However, Tang Xiaoyu could not figure out who she had offended to have such hatred. If that person had attacked her, what was his motive? Was it to teach her a lesson or for money?

  Tang Xiaoyu did not dare to think further. She tried to stand up with her own strength, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not stand up. Her whole body was limp and she did not have any strength left.

  Was she going to leave everything to fate here? Was she the one who decided to deal with Gu Zhengrong? Was she the one who came up with her next plan after being interrupted like this……

  “Miss, are you alright?”


  A man in a black suit stood in front of Tang Xiaoyu. Tang Xiaoyu was in a daze. She could hear the man’s voice but she could not see his face clearly.

  “I…… I feel so dizzy……”


  Tang Xiaoyu tried to grab the pillow on the sofa beside her, but she failed.

  “Miss, are you feeling unwell? Shall I bring you to the doctor?”


  The man looked at a man who looked like a waiter standing not far away. The suspicion in his eyes became more and more obvious. This drunk woman was not Lady Mary at all. How could she be the woman who obtained the final bidding rights tonight? What exactly went wrong?

  “I don’t want to see a doctor. I’m fine.”


  Although Tang Xiaoyu was in a daze, she was still very alert. She kept shaking her head, but in reality, she could not do anything. It was as if all her energy had been sucked out of her body.

  “Miss, I think you’re really uncomfortable. How about this? Tell me where your house is and I’ll send you back. Or I’ll bring you to see a doctor now. I know a few good doctors. Do you want to try?”


  Tang Xiaoyu rejected him internally but she could not do anything. Even though she was spacing out, as the man got closer, she could still see a tear mole at the corner of his eye. It was obvious that she had seen it somewhere before.

  “I’m not going to the hospital. I’m not going to the doctor either. Just don’t touch me.”


  Tang Xiaoyu tried her best to turn her head to the other side, trying not to look at the man with the mole at the corner of his eye.

  “Miss, you’re not feeling well. If you’re not feeling well, you have to go see a doctor. You will regret it if you go against yourself like this. Besides, I’m such a handsome man here to take care of you.”
