Chapter 1887: Is This How You Think of Me?

“How could that be? Mr Li, you’re thinking too much. How could I possibly think that you’re not qualified? If I were to say that you’re not qualified, it would be me. How could a junior like me sit at the same table as you and enjoy tea and talk about life?”

Gu Zhengrong’s eyes were filled with far-fetched emotions as his gaze landed on Tang Xiaoyu. However, when he saw her lips curl into a smug smile, his heart slightly shook. He did not know how Tang Xiaoyu and Mr Li got together, nor did he know where Tang Xiaoyu had gone in such a long time.

Could she have gone overseas with Mr Li?

A bold idea popped up in Gu Zhengrong’s mind, but he could not say it or ask Mr Li directly.

“Xiaoyu, you can leave first. Mr Gu and I still have something to talk about. You can leave first.”

“Alright, Mr Li. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Gu Zhengrong hurriedly pulled her arm. “Xiaoyu, don’t go. I still have something to tell you. Don’t go.”

It was not easy for him to see Tang Xiaoyu again, so he would not let her go so easily. In such a long time, he had to tell Tang Xiaoyu what he had been hiding in his heart.

He must.

“Mr Gu, isn’t this a little inappropriate?”

Tang Xiaoyu lowered her eyes to look at the crowd around her. They had yet to disperse, and her arm was tightly gripped by Gu Zhengrong. She did not even have the strength to move a step.

Mr Li walked forward and exerted a little force to save Tang Xiaoyu’s arm from Gu Zhengrong’s hands. He pretended to be gentle as he said, “Mr Gu, if word gets out that you’re doing this, I’m afraid that people will say that you’re bullying the people around me.”

Mr Li had a smile on his face but his eyes were extremely dark. Anyone who saw him could not help but feel a chill in their hearts.

“Mr Li, I didn’t do it on purpose. Actually, Tang Xiaoyu is my…”

“Mr Gu, I think you’ve got the wrong person. My name is Tang Xiaoyu, but I’m not the Tang Xiaoyu you know. If you really find the Tang Xiaoyu you’re looking for one day, why don’t you ask her to compete with me to see which one is your Tang Xiaoyu?”

The corners of Tang Xiaoyu’s lips curled up. Her red lips and fair skin were especially stunning, making her look even more beautiful in this auction venue.

“Aren’t you Tang Xiaoyu?”

Gu Zhengrong was stunned by Tang Xiaoyu’s words. He did not understand what she was saying. It seemed like she was right, but at the same time, she was wrong.

“I’m Tang Xiaoyu, but I’m not the Tang Xiaoyu you know. You just said that I’m joking. Are you saying that I’m joking about buying a ring with that $100 million?”

Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes sparkled.

“Isn’t it?”

Gu Zhengrong suppressed the doubt in his heart. He knew that he would not be able to get to the bottom of this today. He did not understand why Tang Xiaoyu was unwilling to acknowledge him. Although he admitted that he had been a little overboard with her back then, he had already turned over a new leaf. Since they had been separated for so long, there was nothing that could not be resolved. What else could they not think of?

“Mr Gu, I think you’ve really forgotten. Let me tell you again, I’m not the Tang Xiaoyu you know. Perhaps, the Tang Xiaoyu you know has already died on a night that you don’t know about. How much do you know about the matters in this world from the start?”

Gu Zhengrong did not understand. He looked at Tang Xiaoyu with a serious look. They were exactly the same. The perfume she was wearing was the same, but Tang Xiaoyu, who was standing in front of him right now, was unwilling to acknowledge him. She even deliberately cut ties with him.

“Xiaoyu, what’s wrong with you? Tell me what you have to say. If you don’t tell me, how am I supposed to know what I did wrong? Did you get together with Mr Li? Did you…”

Gu Zhengrong finally voiced out the thought that he did not dare to think too much about. Seeing Tang Xiaoyu’s evasive gaze, Gu Zhengrong’s heart seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. He could not even get up.

“Mr Gu, don’t you think what you’re saying now can be said to be framing others?”

Mr Li shielded Tang Xiaoyu behind him so that she would not be misunderstood by Gu Zhengrong while standing in front of him. Although Tang Xiaoyu had already made up her mind, from his perspective, Gu Zhengrong still had feelings for her.

Those who were truly emotionless would not care about so many reasons, nor would they care about Tang Xiaoyu’s relationship with Mr Li because she had invested $100 million into this useless ring.

“Mr Li, I don’t feel that way. I just feel that I need to talk to Miss Tang Xiaoyu about something.”

“Tang Xiaoyu is my goddaughter now. If you have anything to say to her, just tell me first. I’ll tell her after I hear it.”

Mr Li refused to back down and protected Tang Xiaoyu tightly behind him. His body seemed to have formed an invisible magnetic field, blocking Gu Zhengrong from Tang Xiaoyu.

One wanted to escape, the other wanted to chase after her.

It was the same for two people who could not love each other, but what Mr Li could do was to follow Tang Xiaoyu’s heart. He was just a bystander in this love affair and only Duo Duo at home was what he cared about the most.

“Mr Li, you said that Miss Tang Xiaoyu is your goddaughter?”

Gu Zhengrong seemed to have heard a huge joke. He had never thought that Tang Xiaoyu would become the goddaughter of a big shot like Mr Li, especially in a high-class venue.

“I don’t care what you do, but if you choose to leave me and degenerate, don’t you feel a little sorry for Pei Ge if she finds out? Don’t you think she’ll turn around and pull you back?”

Gu Zhengrong’s eyes reddened. The words ‘goddaughter’ made his heart ache. What was wrong with Tang Xiaoyu? Why was she so stubborn?

It was not as if Gu Zhengrong did not have money to use. If he needed a man, Gu Zhengrong felt that he could do it. He really could not understand why Tang Xiaoyu would do this.

“Is this how you think of me?”
