Chen Xi was already so embarrassed that she had nothing to say, she was already powerless to help. Looking at the cold atmosphere, Chen Xi had already given up on resisting.
Tang Yizhou looked at Tang Hongbo, and heavily snorted.
"My surname is up to you."
"There's no need to think about it. You also know my answer. Even if the three clans cannot be balanced, our Tang Clan will not bow down to anyone." Tang Hongbo said with a gloomy face.
Tang Yizhou said hatefully.
"With your arrogant appearance, you will suffer a loss sooner or later. After the new year, I will arrange for you two to meet." To Chen Xi, Tang Yizhou's domineering appearance was extremely uncomfortable.
As for Tang Hongbo, how could he possibly be someone who was casually being manipulated? He suddenly stood up from the sofa and coldly said.
"If you are here to celebrate New Year with us, I very much welcome you. If you are here to force a marriage, then I'm sorry, please forgive me."
Tang Hongbo's words successfully angered him, and Chen Xi was also stunned. If others were to find out about what he had done, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
On New Year's Eve, the CEO of the Wealthy Class actually kicked his own father out of the door. When Chen Xi thought about the title of the news, she felt that it was really scary, so she quickly pulled at Tang Hongbo and shook his head.
Tang Hongbo naturally knew what he meant and felt that he had gone overboard with his words just now, so he pretended to cough.
"Let's go, it's time for the New Year's Eve meal." With that said, she pulled Chen Xi and Tony towards the dining area.
"Master, please calm down. Young Master didn't mean it that way. It's the new year, please give him a way out." Uncle Zhang quietly reminded the ashen-faced Tang Yizhou from behind.
The corner of Tang Yizhou's eyes twitched as he replied.
"When did he ever give me a way out?" After Tang Yizhou finished, he looked like he was about to throw the table and leave.
Uncle Zhang immediately pulled him back and said softly.
"Old master, don't forget, what are you doing here today? If you were to leave just like that, the things that you were looking forward to, I'm afraid..."
Uncle Zhang's words allowed Tang Yizhou to calm down, he snorted, and acted as though he could only bear with it.
Chen Xi felt that he was almost suffocated by this strange atmosphere, there was no need to talk about Tang Hongbo and his son, as each of their expressions was more frightening than the last. And Tony, his expression was exactly the same as Tang Hongbo's, Chen Xi could not help but wail in his heart, just what kind of sin did she have, why did she know these people …
She suddenly felt a cold wind blow past and she couldn't help but shiver. This strange and cold atmosphere really didn't seem like she was having a New Year's Eve meal. It felt more like she was having a decapitated meal.
It was really hard for people to eat.
"Here, this is your favorite sweet and sour pork." Tang Hongbo grabbed some food for Chen Xi as if there was no one around.
Chen Xi could only silently nod her head and smile.
Tang Yizhou ate a meal quietly from beginning to end without uttering a single word, but the expression on his face was enough to explain everything.
Chen Xi didn't know how she finished this strange New Year's Eve meal, nor did she know exactly what she ate. All she knew was that right now, as she helped Aunt Zhang clean up the table, she also watched the father and son continue with their conversation.
In short, one of them was determined to force the marriage, while the other disagreed.
When Chen Xi finished brewing the tea and carried it over, she heard Tang Hongbo ask with a questioning tone.
"Wang Lin?"
Chen Xi's footsteps paused. Wang Lin? Why would they talk about Wang Lin, what did it have to do with her?
Chen Xi continued to walk forward, and then he heard the meaning behind their words.
"She is the adopted daughter of Wang Yuan's younger brother, Wang Hao. Although her status cannot compare to Wang Ya Ha's, it is fortunate that Wang Yuan has a good relationship with his younger brother. Even if she isn't his biological daughter, she is still very powerful to us." Tang Yi Zhou explained.
Chen Xi could not help but feel fear. Wang Lin? That woman, no matter what, had never thought that one day she and Tang Hongbo would be linked together and now she was even forced by Tang Yizhou to marry her.
She couldn't help but recall all of her past with Wang Lin … She knew that the marriage between the Rong Family and the Wang family was not a good thing for the Tang clan, so she wouldn't blame Tang Yizhou for saying this, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She brought the tea over and Tang Hongbo and Tang Yizhou did not say anything. She tactfully left the living room.
No matter if it was before or now, she felt a little sad and powerless. Tang Yizhou would never accept her into the Tang Family, didn't she already know that? Why can't you chase away the loneliness in your heart?
She didn't know how long she had loved him, but she knew that her current self and her future self would always love him.
Tang Hongbo sat alone in the glass room, looking at the fireworks in the sky, she couldn't help but laugh. Tang Hongbo and Tang Yizhou should still be in the living room arguing non-stop, but she already didn't want to know the result. To her, it wasn't important anymore, because she believed in Tang Hongbo.
Looking at the sky which had been dyed multicolored by the smoke and fire, she couldn't help but sink into her memories. She thought back to the scene when she first met Tang Hongbo, when she was still Duan Wenzhuo, and he was still the cold and indifferent Tang Hongbo …
She seemed to be sitting on a time machine, back to five years ago …
At that time, Tang Hongbo pursed her lips and her face was filled with anger. He reached out his hand, pinched her chin, raised it up, and forced her to meet his eyes. He said fiercely: "Duan Wenzhuo, don't forget, you are my, Tang Hongbo's, legal and proper wife!"
The words were said clearly, but to Duan Wenzhuo, she just wanted to laugh. She did not understand what had happened to this man these past few days.
Could he remember now that she was his wife? When you were in the dining room making love? When he was mercilessly mocking her?
She was really getting harder and harder to understand this man.
"Yes." She nodded slightly, turned her head away, and started toward the bedroom.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going to rest first."
The cold from a few days ago still had not recovered, but his head was still a little dizzy. Seeing her unconcerned about him, Tang Hongbo's anger grew even stronger.
He grabbed her wrist, sneered, squeezed out a few words.
"Good, very good, Duan Wenzhuo!" Duan Wenzhuo frowned, she wanted to withdraw her hand.
"What? You don't want to see me that much?" Although Tang Hongbo was smiling, he gave off an extremely eerie cold feeling.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. " Duan Wenzhuo tugged her hand, "I'm going to rest."
"You don't understand?" Tang Hongbo sneered, then his eyes became serious, "Then I'll make you understand!" With that, he picked up the woman in front of him and walked towards his bedroom expressionlessly.
Duan Wenzhuo's breath tightened, she struggled to jump down, "What are you doing? Let me go! " Tang Hongbo acted as if he did not hear anything and did not intend to stop at all.
When he reached the bedroom, he threw the person he was holding onto the bed, tugged at his tie and pressed down on her. His eyes were filled with desire, but only desire remained.
The male aura lingered around her body, Duan Wenzhuo's eyes turned red, she pushed at the man's chest, and struggled.
"You … Go away. "Get up..."
Tang Hongbo grabbed tightly onto her hands and gritted his teeth: "Duan Wenzhuo, you deserve this!" With that, he roughly lifted his skirt and ruthlessly stretched his legs, continuing forward without any foreplay.
"AHH!"
Duan Wenzhuo could not help but exclaim out loud. So painful, truly painful …
"No, please... Let me go... "I don't want it, I don't want it …"
She shook her head wildly, struggling and begging for mercy due to the excessive pain.
"Heh, no?" Tang Hongbo curled his lips, and said coldly as he put more force into his waist.
"Don't forget that you're my wife. This is your duty!" He didn't show any signs of stopping.
As long as she thought of the "good things" she had been doing these days, desire took over.
This woman, how dare she! How dare you! She was his wife!
Duan Wenzhuo could no longer hold back her tears. They rolled out of her eyes and slowly rolled down her face.
Why … Why did she have to suffer all this?
She just wanted to live a bland life.
All these years, carrying the guilt towards her sister and the Duan Clan was really tiring and hard for her ….
But why did it seem that no matter what she did, she couldn't get the favor of others?
Whether it was Tang Hongbo or the Duan Clan, to them, she was an existence that should not have appeared, right?
If she hadn't been there in the first place, would they all be laughing now?
She didn't want to either! She didn't want to either!
Duan Wenzhuo bit her lips as she endured everything in despair.
After the battle ended, Tang Hongbo's eyes regained some clarity. He looked at the woman on the bed, whose eyes were swollen from crying, with a complicated expression on his face.
However, in the next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his face was filled with disgust and contempt.
He got up, put on his clothes, then took a stack of photos from the table and threw them on Duan Wenzhuo's body.
"Duan Wenzhuo, do you think I don't know where you're going these past few days? I will settle this debt with you slowly! " The hatred he spoke of.
Duan Wenzhuo took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Only then did she pick up the photo and looked at it with her eyes wide open.
What is this?
With so many photos, the main characters in them were only Rong Xuan and her. They were all very intimate scenes.
But, she swore, it wasn't true! The person who took these photos clearly had other intentions. He deliberately took an angle to make the two of them look very ambiguous!
She squeezed the photo harder.
Her memories were shattered by a burst of fireworks. At that time, she had been framed by others, and Tang Hongbo's distrust towards her seemed to still be fresh in her mind. But now, she still chose to believe in him.
However...
