When Tang Xiaoyu talked about the current situation in Mr Li’s villa, Pei Ge relaxed a little. She finally understood her best friend’s current situation in America and stopped worrying.
“Ge Ge, don’t worry. I’m fine and so is Duo Duo. We don’t have to worry about anything at Mr Li’s house. I’m more concerned about how Old lady Qu’s matters are progressing.”
Tang Xiaoyu was concerned about Pei Ge’s actions toward Old lady Qu and not her actions since she came to America.
“It’s fine now. Don’t worry. I’ve already handed all the evidence to the police. What awaits her is the fairest trial. Xiaoyu, don’t talk about me anymore. How did you meet Mr Li? I’m really curious. Everyone says that Mr Li is more easygoing and doesn’t play by the rules. How did you meet him?”
Pei Ge was shocked. She did not know how Tang Xiaoyu got to know Mr Li and how the two of them got along as though they were a family but were actually not.
“That’s a long story.”
Tang Xiaoyu turned to look at Duo Duo, who was sleeping in the stroller, and continued speaking to Pei Ge.
“Let me tell you, it’s all because of me…”
Tang Xiaoyu recounted her encounter with Mr Li on the plane, causing Pei Ge to marvel at the coincidence. She did not expect them to meet so coincidentally.
“At first, I also thought it was fake. However, I saw the name card he gave me. There was a red handprint on the edge of the name card. It was indeed him. Moreover, you should know that Mr Li wouldn’t easily give others his name card. That’s why I’m sure that this person is Mr Li. Don’t doubt it. Sometimes, fate is such a magical thing.”
After her fate with Mr Li, Pei Ge was increasingly convinced that fate was such a wonderful thing in Tang Xiaoyu’s heart.
“Xiaoyu, perhaps this was what God sent to help you. You have to cherish it. After all, such good luck is not something that can be easily obtained.”
Pei Ge was genuinely happy to hear that her best friend had received help from a benefactor. However, after hearing about Tang Xiaoyu and Gu Zhengrong’s current situation, Pei Ge fell into deep thought again. Although Gu Zhengrong had already figured out who he loved, Pei Ge was still worried that Gu Zhengrong would think that she really did not love him anymore.
It might be easy to love someone, but it was not as simple as saying “I don’t like you, I don’t like you, I don’t like you” three times. It was all because Tang Xiaoyu loved him too deeply and Gu Zhengrong had been cold for too long. The sudden change in their relationship was surprising.
“But Ge Ge, do you think I’m still in love with Gu Zhengrong? He hurt me so deeply and I only feel disgust when I see him now. I don’t even know if I’m still in love with him. Mr Li said that I haven’t let go, but I really haven’t. I can’t be sure.”
In the face of her best friend, Tang Xiaoyu still said what she was most unsure of.
“Xiaoyu, do you not love him anymore?”
Pei Ge understood Tang Xiaoyu’s pain and sadness. She also knew how much this woman had suffered because of this love. She also knew that Tang Xiaoyu had returned to the country to avoid Gu Zhengrong, which was why she insisted on giving birth to Duo Duo by herself without even telling Pei Ge.
If this was not love, then what was her feelings for him?
“Ge Ge, I’m thinking if I love Gu Zhengrong too much, which is why my love turned into hatred. That’s why I can’t wait to prove it to him. All of this is because he didn’t like me in the past, so I’m working so hard to show him.”
Tang Xiaoyu could not imagine that Gu Zhengrong, whom she loved deeply, would push her to such a state because of love.
“Xiaoyu, I support your decision. As long as it’s your decision, I will support it. However, I want to see you happy. You already know that it’s impossible between me and Gu Zhengrong. Now that you know how Gu Zhengrong feels about you, why can’t you give it a try? What if he really has feelings for you and really wants to live a good life with you? It’s precisely because you didn’t give him a chance to get to know your father that your relationship became so fragile and weak. Xiaoyu, is this what you want to see?”
Pei Ge’s heart ached for Tang Xiaoyu, who had endured all the pain and suffering to give birth to the child of the person she loved in a cold delivery room. However, this was all because she loved him.
However, from the looks of it, it was impossible for her best friend not to love him.
One could tell from a person’s gaze whether they loved or not.
“Xiaoyu, I don’t want you to regret your decision today.”
Pei Ge put down the documents in her hand and looked at Ji Ziming, who was drinking coffee elegantly with a porcelain cup not far away. “I know that you love him.”
“Ge Ge, do you also believe that I’ve always loved him? I don’t have the same feelings for him anymore.”
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the garden downstairs. Mr Li was talking to the gardener at the flowerbed. Tang Xiaoyu, who was separated by the glass window, did not hear anything. She only saw the gardener cut two roses from the flowerbed and place them in his hands.
Mr Li clasped his hands together as if he was expressing his gratitude.
Tang Xiaoyu’s lips curled into a smile. What was the point of loving or not loving? Now that she had confirmed her goal, she could only move forward. As long as she did not forget her initial goal, she would not forget the ending she wanted.
“Xiaoyu, since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t say anything else. You have to take good care of yourself. I’ll visit you in America in a few days, okay?”
“Sure. Come visit me in America and teach me how to handle these companies quickly and well.”
Tang Xiaoyu was elated when she heard that Pei Ge would be coming to America. She had brought Duo Duo back from the capital with the intention of giving Duo a perfect future. Now, with the help of her good friend, it would be easier for her to gain a foothold in America.
As for Gu Zhengrong, he probably had to treat her differently.
