Duan Wenzhuo knew that Tang Hongbo was definitely taking a bath and was still thinking about how to explain the situation to him. She knew very well that Tang Hongbo, this person, would probably not agree to it.

"What are you thinking? Why are you so lost in your thoughts?" Tang Hongbo waved his hand and threw the white towel in his hand over Duan Wenzhuo's head.

"Erm, yo, have you eaten yet?" Duan Wenzhuo had been mulling over this for a long time, but the words that came out of her mouth were insignificant words that were neither painful nor itchy.

Duan Wenzhuo embarrassedly touched the hair on her chest.

"You ate, right? Then, when did you come back?" The moment the words left her mouth, Duan Wenzhuo regretted biting her tongue off. What did she ask?

It's just borrowing money, what's there to say? Duan Wenzhuo ruthlessly despised herself in her heart.

Tang Hongbo couldn't stand Duan Wenzhuo's burning gaze any longer. He threw the magazine on the sofa and walked towards Duan Wenzhuo with his legs bent.

Duan Wenzhuo watched the approaching Tang Hongbo and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Tang Hongbo bent over and sat on the bed, then looked at Duan Wenzhuo and said.

"What exactly are you trying to say? We've been holding it in for the entire night. " Tang Hongbo asked.

Duan Wenzhuo was embarrassed. So her reaction was so obvious.

"Oh, it's nothing much. It's just that the Duan Clan came to look for me today." Duan Wenzhuo thought that she couldn't hide it from him, so she might as well tell him the truth.

In any case, it was not because of a guilty conscience, so Duan Wenzhuo was relieved when she thought of this.

Actually, Tang Hongbo knew in his heart that Duan Wenzhuo only wanted to hear her opinion. When he returned tonight, he immediately called Old Lin over.

Old Lin naturally told Tang Hongbo about the Duan Clan couple coming to find Duan Wenzhuo in the afternoon without missing a word. Therefore, he naturally knew why Duan Wenzhuo seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Oh, and then?" Tang Hongbo asked disapprovingly.

"Actually, I know that you must know that they've come to find me, and you know that the Duan Clan has a shortage of funds, right?" Duan Wenzhuo looked at Tang Hongbo and asked indifferently.

Tang Hongbo looked at Duan Wenzhuo in shock after hearing what he said, but it only lasted for an instant.

It wouldn't be strange if he could guess.

Duan Wenzhuo was naturally not anything. Although she did not understand the business matters of stupid people, the Duan Clan was not some nameless person. The Duan Clan had such a huge lack of funds in business, she did not believe that Tang Hongbo did not know about it.

"Yes, I know." Tang Hongbo nodded.

"Then you must know the reason why they came to find me, right?" Duan Wenzhuo said softly.

Tang Hongbo sat on the bed and smiled at Duan Wenzhuo.

"Are you so sure that I know what they came to see you for? What if I don't know? " Tang Hongbo said deliberately.

"What do you think?" Duan Wenzhuo asked directly.

"I'd like to know what you think?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"I don't know either." Duan Wenzhuo replied with her head lowered.

Tang Hongbo looked at Duan Wenzhuo's conflicted expression, his heart aching. He didn't even make her worry so much about his woman, how could he let others hurt her?

"He gave up so quickly." Tang Hongbo wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he asked jokingly.

"It's good that you've felt the best." Duan Wenzhuo turned her head.

"But you didn't say anything?" Tang Hongbo said in all seriousness.

Duan Wenzhuo thought for a while, but still decided to speak seriously.

"They said they wanted to marry Sister Wenyu into the Wang Family, did you know that?" Duan Wenzhuo asked.

Tang Hongbo's expression froze. He did not know about this matter.

"Why?" Tang Hongbo subconsciously asked.

"Because other than you, only the Wang Family can help the Duan Clan. Hongbo, can you help the Duan Clan? No, help Sister Wenyu." Duan Wenzhuo looked at him with expectation.

"Do you want me to help them?" Tang Hongbo asked.

"To be honest, if it weren't for Sister Wenyu, I don't think I would have been that generous." Duan Wenzhuo replied indifferently.

"The Duan Clan has a huge funding gap this time. If I help them, they'll have countless excuses to ask for your help in the future. Are you sure?" Tang Hongbo asked seriously.

"No, just this once, I swear, and this time I will be helping Sister Wenyu, not the Duan Clan." Duan Wenzhuo said.

"Don't deceive yourself. Helping her is equivalent to helping the Duan Clan. In the future, they will be like bottomless pits, and no matter what, you won't be able to fill them up." Tang Hongbo said.

"I know, but I really don't have the means to look at Sister Wenyu. Marrying to someone she doesn't love like this will ruin her entire life. Hongbo, I have never begged you before. Duan Wenzhuo pleaded in a pitiful manner.

"Silly girl, as long as you beg me, I will definitely help you. However, you must know that I'm helping you and not anyone else." Tang Hongbo smiled and caressed Duan Wenzhuo's messy hair.

"I know, are you really willing to help me? Would it be difficult? " Duan Wenzhuo still wanted to take into account Tang Hongbo's feelings in his heart.

"Don't worry, it'll be up to you." Tang Hongbo laughed.

When it was deep into the night, Duan Wenzhuo was already asleep. Tang Hongbo looked at the sleeping Duan Wenzhuo and revealed a gentle expression. He kissed her forehead, then stood up and left.

In fact, Duan Wenyu was very uneasy as well. She did not know whether this move of hers was effective against Duan Wenzhuo or not. The most important thing was whether it was effective against Tang Hongbo.

But she did not expect that Tang Hongbo would knock on her door.

The moment she opened the door, she was a little taken aback, followed by joy and excitement. Looking at the infuriated Tang Hongbo standing at the door, she could not believe her own eyes.

"Hong, Hongbo, how did you …?" Duan Wenyu was interrupted by Tang Hongbo.

"As for the Duan Clan, I will help, but I have a condition. In the future, please do not let any member of the Duan Clan appear in front of Wenzhuo, especially your parents and you." Tang Hongbo's eyes were ice-cold as he said without any emotion.

Duan Wenyu felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her head. She could not believe that these were all words that Tang Hongbo had said.

"Hongbo, is this why you came here so late at night?" Duan Wenyu's voice trembled a little.

"What do you think I'm going to say?" Tang Hongbo said coldly.

But looking at Duan Wenyu, he still softened his voice and continued.

"I will still help, but you don't need to live here anymore."

Duan Wenyu laughed, but only with tears in her eyes.

"Are you trying to drive me away again?"

"I'm doing this for your own good. You know that we won't be able to do anything in the future. If you live here, it'll only add to your sadness. Why are you doing this?" Tang Hongbo said indifferently.

"How is that impossible? I don't believe it. We were so good before." Duan Wenyu said while crying.

"You said the past, and I also said that you shouldn't mention the past anymore. I've long forgotten about it, and all that I have to say is this. Oh right, I can forget about the things you did to Wenzhuo as well. If there's even a moment in your heart when you took her as your younger sister, then don't do anything to harm her again." Tang Hongbo said without holding back.

Duan Wenyu bit her lips. Hearing that Duan Wenzhuo was the only one being talked about, how could she not feel hatred in her heart?

"Alright, you don't have to interfere in the matter of the Duan Clan." Duan Wenyu said impulsively.

"Then do you want to marry those few old men of the Wang family? I don't mind if you do. " Tang Hongbo gloomily looked at her for a few seconds, then turned and left.

Duan Wenyu closed the door and sat on the ground. She really wanted to ask him the meaning of his last sentence, could it be that he had heard that she wanted to marry into the Wang family?

However, she was also afraid that what she heard was not the answer she wanted, but in any case, she was still very excited because he still didn't want her to marry anyone else, right?

Although his words were hurtful, she knew that in his heart, he was still kind. He was still the Tang Hongbo of the past, and she believed that he still had her in his heart.

As Duan Wenyu thought this in her heart, her face also revealed a complacent look.

One day, he would definitely return to his side. What did Duan Wenzhuo count for, she was merely the illegitimate daughter that she had found. How could she compare to him?

Duan Wenyu wiped away the tears on her face. No matter what, the Duan Clan's crisis had been resolved.

But what Duan Wenyu did not know was that Tang Hongbo had only done so purely because of Duan Wenzhuo. He did not want to see Duan Wenzhuo frown and become irreconcilably conflicted because of the Duan Clan's matter.

To Tang Hongbo, right now, nothing could compare to a smile.

was still the one who ate breakfast, she suddenly felt that she did not have much appetite left. She could not eat the breakfast that filled the table in one go.

The words Duan Wenyu said when she left in the morning would always appear in her mind.

At this time, Duan Wenyu's face was completely refreshed, she had a beautiful makeup and was wearing a white dress, looking just like a little fairy.

Compared to last night's decadence, it was like a completely different person.

She carried a pink bag with happiness in her eyes as she looked at Duan Wenzhuo.

has already promised to help the Duan Clan. Aiya, you must have told him, I want to marry into the Wang Family for the marriage. After he heard about it, he specifically ran over to my room late last night to ask if it was true. It must be because of this that he agreed to help out, but still, thank you, Wenzhuo.

Duan Wenyu said while pretending to be uninterested.
