Chapter 11

The Italian restaurant opposite the Jung group.

Tang HaoChen has ordered the dishes and is waiting for Gu Mian to arrive.

Tang HaoChen was adopted to general Tang Zhanpeng when he was ten years old. At that time, master Rong and Tang Zhanpeng were comrades in arms who had gone to the battlefield together, while Tang Zhanpeng's wife Yang Qinqin was weak and had no children under her knees. When she died, she regretted that she had not left a child for Tang Zhanpeng.

At that time, the two families were friends. Mr. Rong's wife Wu Kaixia had what Yang Qinqin was. At that time, he pushed Tang HaoChen forward, which was regarded as fulfilling Yang Qinqin's dream.

At that time, in addition to Tang HaoChen, master Rong had another eldest son, Rong Xiu's father. At least later, because he couldn't bear the death of his wife, he committed suicide and died in love, leaving Rong Xiu, who was only six years old.

Tang HaoChen chose a position near the window. Across the French window, he smiled gracefully, waved his hand gently and greeted Gu Mian.

Gu Mian smiled and stepped into the restaurant with high heels.

Just as soon as she entered the door, she was surprised to find Rong Xiu and Zhang Chuqi sitting in the hall.

In an instant, Gu Mian's smile became stiff.

Because she saw that Rong Xiu's narrowed eyes were as deep as an ice spring for thousands of years. When she saw Gu Mian looking at him, his cold eyes suddenly shot at Tang HaoChen, and Tang HaoChen with his back to him obviously didn't know that Rong Xiu was behind him at the moment.

He must have guessed that Gu Mian appeared here for dinner with Tang HaoChen.

Yes, I just came to dinner. There's no need to feel guilty. Gu Mian hesitated. He just didn't want Rong Xiu to make trouble with Tang HaoChen.

Gu Mian pretends not to see Rong Xiu, calmly enters the restaurant and sits opposite Tang HaoChen.

"Sorry, I really want to be late." Looking at the dishes that have come up, Gu Mian's face is full of apology.

"It doesn't matter. Have dinner!" Tang HaoChen smiled gently and didn't mind Gu Mian's being late.

With elegant decoration and beautiful violin playing, this restaurant is very suitable for couples.

Gu Mian raised his eyes and could see Rong Xiu and Zhang Chuqi talking and laughing intimately, without avoiding others. Gu Mian cut the steak absently, and his thoughts seemed to fly thousands of miles away.

"The wound hurts?"

Tang HaoChen looked at Gu Mian and asked softly.

"Huh?" Gu Mian looked up at the steak that he had not cut for a long time, and simply put down his knife and fork.

Tang HaoChen suddenly stretched out his hand, gently pulled the hand on Gu Mian's hand, looked at the gauze on it and asked, "what did the doctor say?"

Gu Mian quickly took back her arm. To tell the truth, she also felt that Tang HaoChen's doing so was easy to be misunderstood. Coupled with Tang HaoChen's abnormality at the banquet that day, Gu Mian seems to have noticed something.

Gu Mian raised his head. Before he spoke, he saw Rong Xiu not far away. He looked at himself angrily. Unexpectedly, she ignored the steak that Zhang Chuqi fed him.

Although Rong Xiu is not her excuse to refuse Tang HaoChen, Gu Mian feels it necessary to keep a distance from Tang HaoChen.

"It's all right. It's just a small wound."

What's a wound on your hand? Rong Xiu's ruthlessness is like a dagger, which has long stabbed her to pieces.

Tang HaoChen noticed Gu Mian's eyes, suddenly turned his head and was facing Shang Rongxiu's angry eyes.

Tang HaoChen sneered. Sure enough, Gu Mian looked wrong as soon as he entered the restaurant. It turned out that he was here. He regarded Gu Mian's refusal as his fear of Rong Xiu.

"It doesn't matter. We're just eating. There's nothing to be afraid of." Tang HaoChen turned back and gently comforted Gu Mian with a worried face.

Gu Mian apologized and squeezed out a bitter smile and said, "I just don't want to trouble you. Rong Xiu's character has always been so arrogant and overbearing. You know, if he stares at you, he will never let you have a good life."

At present, she is like this. For three years, he has bound her with the shackles of marriage, but she has also thrown herself into the net and squeezed into his invisible emotional shackles.

In this layer by layer shackles, Gu Mian is bound in a cocoon and can't blame others.

"Silly girl, now Gu and Rong have stabilized. You don't have to stay with Rong Xiu all the time." Tang HaoChen really loves Gu Mian.

Because of Gu Mian's marriage with Rong Xiu, Gu family also got a certain share. Although it was not much, it saved the whole Gu family's enterprise at that time.

Ironically, the shares do not belong to Gu Mian.

"Our marriage is over." This is a fact that Gu Mian must face. Even if the five-year contract has arrived, she is still lying in the hospital bed, and she will still be subject to Rong Xiu.

"If you really can't hold on, I can talk to Mr. Rong." Tang HaoChen's tone was soft, and his eyes contained infinite pity.

At this moment, Gu Mian was really touched.

From childhood to childhood, no one wanted to take care of her so much except her mother whose life and death were unknown.

Behind Tang HaoChen is her husband. However, he is with other women in front of his own face, ignoring other people's comments on her.

"You can rest assured that master Rong will agree as long as I speak." Tang HaoChen said confidently that for so many years, he didn't ask for anything like that person. Even then, he watched Gu Mian marry into Rong's family.

Because he knew that it was not just a marriage, it was a necessary commercial marriage for the Rong Group.

Funny, it's different now. Rong has a firm foothold in Haicheng. No one in Haicheng can shake Rong's group.

So he can make this request. As his son, he will not refuse.

In his eyes, Gu Mian is the most precious. She is clean and flawless, firm and calm. For so many years, he has not contacted any woman just to wait for her. He knows the accident of that year, and he once cherished Rong Xiu. His parents died when he was a child, and he lost his childhood first love three years ago. However, he can't tolerate Rong Xiu's torture of Gu Mian.

Tang HaoChen can feel Ling lie's gaze behind him. He doesn't care. Rong family owes him. He never asks for it. Just, Gu Mian, he's going to make a decision!

But Gu Mian is struggling between Tang HaoChen in front of him and Rong Xiu behind him. One is cold, thin and ruthless, and the other is gentle and doting. Although Gu Mian has no waves at the moment, in fact, there have been waves in his heart for a long time.

Tang HaoChen's words are tantamount to confessing to her. Although she has long passed the jubilant age, Gu Mian is inevitably very excited. After all, only Tang HaoChen can understand her sadness now.

If Mian Tao didn't belong to him, he would immediately agree to his mark.

After a while, Gu Mian lowered his head with guilt and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I can't leave him..."
