Chapter 187: Ye Chuxiao, Just You Wait!
Tang Hong’s earnest teachings were filled with a father’s love and high hopes for his daughter; he had truly put his heart into it.
However, Tang Jie’er did not respond, her expression still tense.
“Jie’er,” Tang Hong said slowly, “calm down and seriously consider what your Father has said. You don’t need to dwell on this matter too much; just face it and gain the reason that enlightens you from it.”
After Tang Hong finished speaking, he left his daughter’s office, leaving her space to think.
Tang Jie’er stood silently before the large floor-to-ceiling window.
Outside the window, the dark clouds grew heavier, and the torrential rain finally poured down. The bustling city was dim and hazy in the downpour, the buildings seemed to shrink back, and the passing vehicles were in chaos, making one’s heart feel equally congested.
Tang Jie’er felt as if she couldn’t catch her breath.
Her Father thought she was jealous of Ye Chuxiao’s talent?
Hmph, what talent did Ye Chuxiao have that was worth her jealousy? She just drew a design drawing? She could manage an entire company; what was one icon of the company?
The company didn’t lack Ye Chuxiao’s one icon; if the logo were changed, would the Tang Group be unable to operate?
In Tang Jie’er’s eyes, Ye Chuxiao was a useless, naive girl, but why did she exclusively possess Lu Ziyi’s entire heart?
She was clearly more excellent, flamboyant, and radiant than Ye Chuxiao, a focal point wherever she went!
But why did Lu Ziyi’s gaze fall upon the foolish Ye Chuxiao in the corner?
How could this make the eldest daughter of the Tang family willingly swallow this insult?
Hmph, Ye Chuxiao!
Tang Jie’er’s eyes, as she looked out at the heavy rain, turned venomous. Today, you made me lose all face; one day, I will also make you lose all face and be unable to appear before Lu Ziyi!
——
The heavy rain lasted for a long time. Lu Ziyi took Ye Chuxiao away from the Tang Group. The black sedan drove slowly, stuck in the congested road.
Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao spoke very little on the way.
Regarding the unpleasant incident that happened in the morning, Ye Chuxiao only felt confused. She thought about it repeatedly but couldn’t understand why Sister Jie’er wanted to frame her.
However, besides confusion, she was not angry or resentful, nor did she complain endlessly because of it.
As for Lu Ziyi, he held the steering wheel with both hands, his eyes fixed on the rain and fog ahead.
This cold and aloof man was very silent, as if the morning’s events had affected him more severely.
Since Lu Ziyi didn’t speak, Ye Chuxiao didn’t disturb him.
In the confined space, a heavy humidity permeated, sticky and damp. Combined with the incessant honking of car horns outside, it made one even more irritable.
Ye Chuxiao’s mood was low as she watched the windshield wipers swing back and forth on the car window, making a “tap, tap, tap” sound, monotonous and boring.
“Tang Jie’er and Lin Chusheng broke up.”
Suddenly, Lu Ziyi said in a deep voice, still looking at the rain and fog ahead.
“What?” Ye Chuxiao turned her head. Due to her distraction and Lu Ziyi’s hoarse voice, she couldn’t hear what he said clearly.
Lu Ziyi repeated the previous sentence, his tone still very light and hoarse.
“Tang Jie’er and Lin Chusheng broke up. Tang Jie’er told me.”
With just this sentence, Lu Ziyi fell silent again.
Ye Chuxiao’s mind couldn’t process it. Brother Chusheng and Sister Jie’er were so in love; how could they break up?
The scenes of Brother Chusheng doting on Sister Jie’er, and Sister Jie’er clinging to Brother Chusheng, easily flashed before her eyes.
But Senior Student Ziyi said that the two who were once deeply in love had broken up.
