Chapter 183 - 183 I Really Regret Liking You Now

183 I Really Regret Liking You Now

The private room’s door was closed shut. Ruan Xiaoshuang waited outside for a long time before a man came out to use the bathroom.

When the other party returned, Ruan Xiaoshuang stepped forward to stop him. “You’re treating Sang Minglang to a meal?”

Seeing Ruan Xiaoshuang’s demure and beautiful appearance, she had the air of a noble family’s young lady. Moreover, she had even called his boss by his full name; Sang Minglang.

Afraid that her relationship with Sang Minglang wasn’t shallow, he did not dare to be neglectful and said with a smile, “Yes, we’re treating him to a meal.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang bit her lip. It seemed that she didn’t hear it wrong. Those people had really called him President Sang.

“Why do you guys call him President Sang?”

This question was so abrupt that the person was stunned. “He’s the Executive President of Yongjia Medical Treatment. What else should we call him if not President Sang?”

He had originally thought that Ruan Xiaoshuang and Sang Minglang had some sort of relationship, but now it seemed that they weren’t that close?

Otherwise, how could she possibly call out Sang Minglang’s name, but not know his identity?

The man didn’t have the patience to pay attention to Ruan Xiaoshuang. He tutted and walked away.

Ruan Xiaoshuang turned on her phone and searched for Yongjia Medical Treatment.

It was a company founded more than five years ago in Yuecheng. It was now the leader of the domestic medical companies.

The company’s spokespersons were all interviewed by the media, but the founder and the person in charge of everything was very mysterious. So far, no related news could be found on the internet.

However, five years ago.

This was when the Sang family’s Hongyuan Group disappeared after the family moved out of Ming City.

Ruan Xiaoshuang had wanted to call Sang Qianqian to ask for more details, but she remembered that she was sick. After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Xiaoshuang decided to call Xie Shi’an.

Ruan Xiaoshuang did not know what had happened between Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian, and Xie Shi’an had never mentioned anything to her.

However, the last time at Ming City’s Cloud Sea Restaurant, Sang Qianqian’s younger brother had rushed over and beat Xie Shi’an up. From his words, it seemed that Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian were in a relationship before and had parted on bad terms.

Since Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian were once together, he might know more or less about Sang Minglang’s situation.

On the other end, Xie Shi’an was a little surprised when he received Ruan Xiaoshuang’s call and heard her ask about the Sang family. However, he still told her what he knew.

“Qianqian’s family lives in Yuecheng, and she also works in Yuecheng. We used to work in the same unit, but she went to Ming City to study. Her father and brother seem to be running a medical company in Yuecheng, but I didn’t ask much about the details.”

He paused. “Sister Xiaoshuang, why are you asking me this?”

“It’s nothing. Thank you, Shi’an.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang hung up the phone, her face pale. It turned out that the Sang family hadn’t gone bankrupt at all.

So the fact that Sang Minglang was living in that small and broken place, wearing that dirty shirt, eating hamburgers without a care for his image, and saying he didn’t have a job at all and was relying on his sister to support him all these years… Was all a lie?

She had actually stupidly asked Sang Qianqian to send him a bank card, trying to arrange a job for him. She had even put down her dignity to look for him a few times, allowing him to humiliate her.

The whole time, he only coldly watched as he acted nonchalantly in front of her, watching her humble herself because of guilt and love for him.

In the private room, toasts were exchanged.

Sang Minglang had a faint smile on his face as he accepted the toasts.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Ruan Xiaoshuang walked in with a pale face.

She walked all the way until she was right in front of Sang Minglang and stopped.

Sang Minglang’s hand that was holding the cup trembled. Why was she here?

“It must’ve been fun lying to me.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s lips curled up into a smile, but her eyes were filled with tears. “Sang Minglang, you’re not only despicable, but you’re also an as*hole.”

Sang Minglang knew that she had found out about his identity and calmed down. He pulled out a light smile, “I’m such a despicable person, but you still came to me?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang picked up a glass of wine from the table and poured it all on Sang Minglang’s face.

The water droplets flowed down Sang Minglang’s chin. He was furious and stood up abruptly. “Ruan Xiaoshuang, are you f*cking crazy?!”

Ruan Xiaoshuang laughed until her tears fell. “I’m crazy to like you for so many years and not give up. For you, I didn’t hesitate to cancel the engagement and reject so many people who pursued me. I’ve been looking for you for seven years, both domestically and overseas. Do you know how happy I was to meet you in Ming City? Even if you pretended to be so down and out in front of me, even if you were acting so despicable, I still wanted to be with you. I even thought about marrying you.”

Sang Minglang was stunned, his gaze a little complicated.

“But I really regret liking you now.”

Ruan Xiaoshuang’s tears fell like rain. “Sang Minglang, if I could go back in time, I’d rather not have known you.”

After she finished speaking, she staggered away. Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Seven years ago, it seemed that this was a romantic debt that President Sang had incurred when he was young. The girl had come all the way here to pursue him.

Someone carefully passed a tissue to Sang Minglang, “President Sang, wipe yourself.”

Sang Minglang took it expressionlessly and wiped the wine off his face.

Another person tried to smooth things over, “It’s just a woman. Why should you be in a bad mood over a woman, President Sang? We’ll accompany you to the bar later, and you can pick any woman you want.”

Sang Minglang raised his brows and laughed evilly, “Sure.”

It was just a woman.

Back then, he had thought the same way.

Therefore, after he thought it through, he had never wronged himself and restrained his desires. All these years, he had been watching different women come and go, carefully flattering him.

When he was in a good mood, he would occasionally cooperate with them whenever they acted coquettishly or threw a tantrum.

When he was in a bad mood, a cold gaze would make those women not dare to do anything, not even daring to breathe loudly.

On the field of pleasure, it was just a show for each party to get what they needed.

In fact, he had many serious girlfriends before, but none of them could easily get his heart.

He couldn’t even be moved.

However, he had to admit that Ruan Xiaoshuang’s words had caused waves in his heart.

—

In the bar, the red and green lights illuminated the entire place.

The woman next to him was dressed flirtatiously. She snuggled up to him as if she had no bones and gave him a toast with a charming smile.

If it was in the past, Sang Minglang would’ve hugged the other party and let that woman feed him.

However, tonight, he felt irritated for no reason.

After sitting there patiently for a while, Sang Minglang got up and left with the excuse that he had matters to settle.

Back in the car, he held his phone and hesitated for a long time. In the end, he released Ruan Xiaoshuang’s phone number from his blacklist and called her.

The person who picked up the phone wasn’t Ruan Xiaoshuang, but a middle-aged man’s voice with a hint of relief.

“Is this girl your friend? Come and pick her up quickly, she’s drunk in our shop and hasn’t paid the bill. Her phone has a password, so we can’t access her contacts or help contact her family. If you didn’t call us, we were going to call the police.”

When Sang Minglang rushed to the place the other party had mentioned, he saw Ruan Xiaoshuang lying on the table, her face flushed red and drunk beyond recognition.
