However, Sister Qiu’s eyes were still fixated on the golden card on the floor. That card could be used in all the shops in the Duan Corporation. It could be used indefinitely. It could be used in all places and items.
“I’m rich. Am I still wrong?”
Duan Jiangjie shook his head. There were a few wounds on his forehead and he looked at Gu Zhengrong and Mr Li with disdain. He turned around and said to Sister Qiu, “Old lady, I gave you a gold card because I like you. Don’t acquiesce to something after having refused my first overture. You should know that if I want a lousy place like yours, I can…”
“Alright, then you can have it. It would be bad if you can’t get it, you’re going to embarrass your father.”
Mr Li interrupted Duan Jiangjie’s rude behavior.
It was said that the young master of the Duan Corporation was a true hedonistic son of a wealthy family. Mr Li had not been able to meet him in the past, but after meeting him today, the rumors were verified. Not only was Duan Jiangjie a hedonistic son, he was even more arrogant than Mr Li had imagined.
“Ha, old man, don’t take advantage of the fact that you have a deal or some sort of huge contract with my family. When my father dies, his company will be mine. When I take over, the first thing I will do is to acquire your company.”
As Duan Jiangjie spoke, his round eyes widened. He even pointed his index finger at Mr Li’s face, full of disdain.
“Alright, then I’ll wait for you to take over and acquire my company. I’ll wait for you. I’m not a coward. I won’t run away either. I’ll wait for you to take over the company the day your father dies.”
Mr Li grunted softly but he was not angry.
Compared to an arrogant and willful person, not getting angry with a fool was more important. Otherwise, if he was as arrogant as Duan Jiangjie, he would not have to do any business and could just wait for Duan Jiangjie to acquire the company?
“Alright, old man, just you wait. Don’t die before my father.”
Duan Jiangjie’s voice was filled with disdain. He looked at Mr Li and then at the people around him. He continued, “I won’t continue playing with you guys here. I’m going home now. I’m not playing with you guys anymore. You bunch of dogs.”
“I’m warning you. There’s evidence to capture everything you’ve done here tonight. If you want to do anything, you’d better think it through yourself and figure out if you can bear the consequences.”
“Heh, Gu Zhengrong, I’m afraid that you haven’t been beaten enoughh by me. Do you believe…”
“Young Master Duan, if you continue to cause trouble, we will have to invite Old Master Duan here. If you are still unwilling to leave, I will have to ask Old Master Duan…”
Before Sister Qiu could finish her sentence, Duan Jiangjie interrupted her. “I’ll leave, I’ll leave. I’ll leave, okay? Don’t forget what you did to me today. Also, let me tell you in advance, I was not the one who added drugs into the drink that the unconscious woman drank. Gu Zhengrong, don’t you have a cctv here? Then, you better investigate properly. I, Duan Jiangjie, have all kinds of women I want, why would I be interested in an alcoholic?”
“It better be!”
Gu Zhengrong’s eyes darkened.
The farce finally came to an end. Gu Zhengrong watched as Duan Jiangjie left and said in a low voice, “I will definitely teach this brat a lesson. I will not let him off so easily.”
“Zhengrong, this lad is the only son of the Duan family’s Old Master Duan. It won’t be easy for you to lay your hands on him. You have to think it through. Moreover, it’s fortunate that Xiaoyu didn’t get into any accidents and he didn’t do anything to her.”
“Mr Li, are you afraid of the Duan Corporation?”
Gu Zhengrong looked up and met Mr Li’s charitable gaze.
One of Duan Jiangjie’s words was stuck in Gu Zhengrong’s chest. Did he and Mr Li really fall in love with Tang Xiaoyu, and did Tang Xiaoyu really leave him for money and status? When would Tang Xiaoyu become so pragmatic? Gu Zhengrong could still remember the days when she was always by his side.
“I’m not afraid. I’m just worried about you. You can’t afford to mess with the Duan Corporation. It’s not like you don’t know the Duan Corporation’s status. Why do you have to go against them?”
Mr Li was only testing Gu Zhengrong. How could he not know what Gu Zhengrong was thinking of Tang Xiaoyu? If it were not for Gu Zhengrong today, who knew what would happen to Tang Xiaoyu? Tang Xiaoyu, who had left Mr Li’s side, was like a flower out of a greenhouse, unable to take any damage.
“How would we know if we don’t try?”
Gu Zhengrong’s lips curled up as he looked at Mr Li. He hesitated for a moment before continuing, “Mr Li, then Xiaoyu, she…”
“She’s fine. She just needs to rest.”
At this time, Tang Xiaoyu was lying on the bed in the VIP room upstairs. She did not have any energy left in her body and was slowly waking up from her dazed state. She vaguely remembered that she only felt weak after drinking a glass of red wine.
“What happened to me?”
Tang Xiaoyu opened her eyes and asked the waitress, who was dressed as a maid, standing beside her.
“Miss Tang, you drank something by mistake, that’s why you’re like this. But it’s alright, the doctor has already checked, you just need to rest well.”
The maid’s voice was sweet and gentle, and the lace pink maid costume she wore was exceptionally cute and alluring.
“Where’s Mr Li?”
Tang Xiaoyu realized that her memories could finally be connected. She still remembered that it was Gu Zhengrong who had rushed to her side and prevented that man from getting his hands on her. Tang Xiaoyu was jolted awake and quickly checked her clothes. She was not hurt and did not change into any other clothes.
“Miss Tang, don’t worry. You’re not hurt.”
Seeing how much Tang Xiaoyu cared about her clothes, the maid thought that the gown she was wearing was very expensive. When Mr Li’s bodyguards brought Tang Xiaoyu over, the maid deliberately did not make any marks on her clothes.
“Alright, thank you. I’m fine now. You may leave. I don’t need you here anymore.”
“Miss Tang, I’m going to stay here to take care of you. Mr Li told Miss Qiu that if they don’t come back, I can’t leave. Don’t worry, I’ll stay here. I won’t talk or disturb your rest. You just have to continue sleeping. I won’t do anything.”
The maid made a promise, afraid that Miss Tang would chase her away.
