“Are you listening to yourself? You want me to ask for money from Tang Zui? Gu Ling, am I even your younger sister? You set me up and married me off to Tang Zui. I wouldn’t mind if you stop contacting me and leave me to die. But now that you have finally reappeared, you want me to ask Tang Zui for money?” Gu Mian was genuinely mad at her older brother, so mad she felt that her head could burst at any second.
“Gu Mian, I don’t like the way you’re putting things. What do you mean when you say that we set you up? You were affianced to Tang Zui a long time ago. Our grandfather was the one who made the decision! They don’t care if you don’t like this arrangement. Anyway, our family business will go bankrupt without the money! And don’t you forget that I have another younger sister!” Gu Ling was already panicking. He urgently needed the money to save his company.
“If you dare to marry Yan’er off, I’ll fight you to the death!” Gu Mian gave him a fierce shove angrily. Her eyes reddened.
“Then, can you ask Tang Zui for a hundred million RMB? Just tell him that I’ll pay him back. What else can we do? Gu Yan is one of us too, and the two of you have to fulfil your responsibilities to the Gu family.” Gu Ling had no other choice but to threaten his younger sister like this.
“Leave. I don’t want to see your face!” Gu Mian was so furious that she burst into tears.
“Sister…”
“Leave. Get the h*ll out of here!” Gu Mian saw that he refused to leave and shouted angrily, “Get your a*s out of here. I’ll think of something, all right!?”
Once Gu Mian shut the door, she became so mad at him that her stomach began to ache. She pressed a hand on her belly and quickly headed to the living room. She found a few instant relief pills for gastric pain and swallowed them.
Gu Ling stood at the front door for a while. He knew his younger sister very well. Even though she seemed harsh when she spoke to him, she actually cared about him. She certainly would not leave him to die.
While Gu Ling got into the elevator and left, Tang Zui stepped out from behind the corner of the corridor. He gazed at the elevator and contemplated in silence.
When Tang Zui entered the apartment, Gu Mian’s gastric pain had yet to be relieved despite the pill. Tang Zui walked into the living room and saw the look of anguish on her face. His eyebrows scrunched up. “What’s happening?”
Gu Mian quickly stood up and tried very hard to endure the pain as she said, “I’m fine. Is anything the matter? Why are you back at this time of the day”
Tang Zui looked at her face in silence. She obviously did not feel well, and yet she refused to say anything. He felt a surge of anger in his chest.
“Pack my clothes for me. I’m heading out!”
“I’ll do it now,” Gu Mian said and hurried towards the bedroom. She bumped into the coffee table in a panic. She gasped in pain but did not dare to slow down and quickly strode into the bedroom. She packed his clothes as fast as she could.
When Tang Zui entered the bedroom, he saw Gu Mian kneeling on the floor while packing his clothes. When her long hair fell onto her face, she immediately raised her hand and tucked it behind her ear, revealing her beautiful side profile.
Tang Zui had not been back for quite some time. In fact, he did not need clean clothes at all. He was just craving for the warmth of her skin…
Tang Zui furrowed his brows a little. She was his wife, and it was her duty to entertain him and keep him company. As he thought that, he walked over and pulled her up from the floor.
He pinned Gu Mian to the wardrobe, snatched away the shirt in her hand and tossed it away. Gu Mian was wearing a simple blouse which was tucked into her skirt today. Tang Zui untucked her blouse and pulled it up. He then lowered his head and immediately kissed her on her chest…
Gu Mian was forced to kneel on the bed. She could not see Tang Zui who was standing behind her. She fixed her eyes on the floral pattern of the bed sheet. She was glad that she had taken the pain relief pills, as she would be in so much more pain otherwise.
Gu Mian assumed that Tang Zui was going on a business trip, so she reckoned that he would be done with her very soon. But she was frankly too naive. For the entire evening, Tang Zui would not let her go. He did a lot of things to Gu Mian that she deemed embarrassing and humiliating.
