Chapter 202 - Leave
Qiao Qing Hao turned his head to look at Tao Chu Liang, he could not believe his own ears. Tao Chu Liang actually used such a method to fend off rumors! However, it was impossible to take back what he said in front of the media!
Sheng Jue and Chen Shu were also extremely shocked, they could not react at all.
Li Li hid in the arena, looking at the resolute Tao Chu Liang on the stage. He never thought that she would actually tell the media that she was going to marry Xiang Chen Xi as if he had nothing else to do! Didn't that mean everything he had done was in vain?
Xiang Chen Xi looked at Chu Liang on the screen and his entire body was trembling. Xiang Chen Xi felt his mind was in a mess. Marry? Could he and Chu Liang really get married? Was she dealing with these reporters, or was she speaking the truth?
After Tao Chu Liang finished this, his own palms began to drip with sweat. If Chen Xi still did not appear by next month, everyone would have to watch their own joke. But until now, the best way to dispel these rumors was to tell everyone that Chen Xi and himself were very sweet.
Tao Chu Liang gritted his teeth as he called out silently in his heart. Chen Xi, where are you?
"That's all I can say. I hope everyone won't think too much about this anymore!" Tao Chu Liang then handed the microphone back to the host.
Qiao Qing Hao brought Chu Liang and left, Sheng Jue and Chen Shu following closely behind.
In the car, Chen Shu couldn't help but say to Chu Liang: "Chu Liang, was what you said true? You said that you want to marry Chen Xi at the end of next month? "
Tao Chu Liang closed his eyes and sighed, "Big Sister, I don't have a better way either. Even if I wanted to spread the rumour for Chen Xi, those pictures were indisputable proof. "Only by telling others that we are doing very well and that we are soon going to get married can we make those reporters believe us."
"But have you ever thought about what would happen if Xiang Chen Xi never showed up? Do you want everyone to laugh at you then? " Qiao Qing Hao was a little angry.
"That won't happen!" Chen Xi will not just watch as Chu Liang gets bullied! " Chen Shu answered without even thinking.
"Then where is he? With such a huge incident happening to the group, where was he? When Chu Liang was hurt, where was he? " Qiao Qing Hao retorted loudly.
Chen Shu was furious, she almost wanted to tell Chu Liang that she was at home. Sheng Jue shook her hand, but in the end, Chen Shu held back and did not say anything.
Seeing that Chen Shu did not refute her words anymore, Tao Chu Liang's heart became even more dejected. Even Chen Shu and Sheng Jue did not know where Xiang Chen Xi was, so what should he do?
"Sheng Jue, where is grandfather now? "Which hospital?" Tao Chu Liang suddenly thought of his grandfather's severe illness, and that he had not went to visit him yet.
Sheng Jue and Chen Shu looked at each other, and said with a low voice: "Grandfather was suddenly bleeding from the head. The doctor said that he wouldn't wake up for a while, so we sent him back to the villa."
"Then send me to see grandfather. I wonder if Chen Xi knows about this." Tao Chu Liang said directly.
Sheng Jue was shocked, he knew that Chen Xi was right at home. Therefore, Sheng Jue looked at Chen Shu silently. Chen Shu thought that maybe he could explain the situation clearly after meeting her. Furthermore, Chu Liang himself requested to go, and he did not tell her that Chen Xi was at home, so he guessed that Chen Xi could not blame them.
Therefore, Chen Shu said: "That's true, you can go and take a look."
Sheng Jue spent the entire night with Chen Shu, how could he not understand her intentions? He immediately increased his horsepower and headed towards Xiang Shi Yun's villa.
Xiang Chen Xi was still thinking back to what Tao Chu Liang had said at the press conference, when the butler ran in hastily and shouted, "Young Master! Miss and Mr. Sheng Jue are back, and they even brought Miss Tao! "
"What!?" What Miss Tao? " Xiang Chen Xi turned his head stiffly.
The butler laughed: It's Miss Tao Chu Liang! This time, the corporation really owed her a lot! Young Master, you must cherish the Miss Tao well! "
"Chu Liang? You're not allowed to tell her I'm at home! " Xiang Chen Xi panicked, and immediately hid out. Had Sheng Jue and Chen Shu already told Chu Liang about his news? But how should he face it!
Sheng Jue and the other three entered the door one after another. After entering, Sheng Jue and Chen Shu kept looking around, but when they didn't see anyone from Xiang Chen Xi, they were a little curious.
When the butler came over, Chen Shu saw the butler's expression and immediately understood what was going on. This person was probably hiding and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Chu Liang, Grandfather is upstairs, let's go up." Chen Shu led the way in front.
Looking at the pale Xiang Shi Yun, Tao Chu Liang was in disbelief. He still remembered the first day he saw Xiang Shi Yun. He looked very healthy and very dignified, as if he was a completely different person from the Xiang Shi Yun lying on the bed right now.
Now, Xiang Shi Yun's eyes were tightly shut and her brows were tightly knitted. It seemed like there were even more wrinkles on her forehead.
"Grandfather, it's Chu Liang. I came to see you." Tao Chu Liang sat down beside Xiang Shi Yun, with his back facing the door.
"Grandfather, don't be angry with Chen Xi. I believe him, this matter is definitely not his fault. "Now that the corporation has temporarily stabilized, you must take good care of your illness and wake up as soon as possible." Rather than saying it to Xiang Shi Yun, it would be better to say that she was talking to herself.
"Grandfather, even though you don't like me, for the sake of obtaining your recognition and being together with Chen Xi, I have always strived hard. My parents have passed away, Chen Xi is my only family now. You are his grandfather, and are also my close relative. With me here, I definitely wouldn't watch Xiang Group get destroyed like this by Li Li. "
Tao Chu Liang looked at Xiang Shi Yun and felt that he could see Chen Xi's shadow on her face. She muttered to himself, but he didn't know what he had said. She did not know that while she was sitting here, Sheng Jue had dialed Xiang Chen Xi's number. Every single word she said was heard by Xiang Chen Xi.
Xiang Chen Xi hid in another room and clenched his fists tightly. He really wanted to rush out and hug Chu Liang tightly. His Chu Liang had always been so kind. Even though his grandfather had always targeted her and looked down on her, for his sake, she had silently endured.
"Elder sister, I'll leave grandpa to you. I will visit him once a week. The corporation still has a lot of things to do, so it's time for me to leave. " Tao Chu Liang stood up to say his goodbyes.
On the other end of the phone, Xiang Chen Xi's heart tightened, he was about to leave. She was so close to him, yet he was too ashamed to see her!
When Tao Chu Liang left, he deliberately slowed down his footsteps and looked around the villa. However, she still didn't see the person he wanted to see. Disappointment unconsciously appeared on her face. Qiao Qing Hao saw her expression and knew that she was looking for Xiang Chen Xi.
heard the sound of an engine coming from the entrance of the villa as he got on the car. She did not know that a pair of eyes had been watching her from somewhere upstairs. Through the window, Xiang Chen Xi looked at Tao Chu Liang and felt that he was extremely close.
That night, Xiang Chen Xi was alone in his room.
The room was a mess. There were cigarette butts and wine bottles on the floor. Xiang Chen Xi rarely smoked, except when he was particularly stressed. He wouldn't have used alcohol to numb himself, but this time, he felt as if he had lost all sense of self.
These past few days, whenever he thought of Li Li's charming face, he felt a wave of discomfort in his stomach, and even more disgust for himself. Thinking of the helpless look in Chu Liang's eyes during the press conference, his heart felt as though it was being sliced by a knife. These days were like a year's worth of time.
As he played with the contra that Chu Liang had designed, all kinds of fragments of memories floated into his mind. He felt that the air here was suffocating.
The door was suddenly kicked open by someone. Sheng Jue and Chen Shu looked at the scene in the room and frowned. A wave of fury rose in Chen Shu's heart.
"Xiang Chen Xi, look at you. Do you think you'll feel better if you punish yourself like this? " Chen Shu rarely said any harsh words to Xiang Chen Xi, but this time, she really couldn't hold herself back.
Xiang Chen Xi remained indifferent. He weakly raised his head and looked at Chen Shu: "Sis, you know what? I feel extremely disgusted right now. I feel like I'm a bastard."
Sheng Jue grabbed his shoulder, and shook him with all his might: "Chen Xi, you were only used by someone! You understand that? Li Li just wants to see you like this. She wants you to never ever go and find Chu Liang, do you understand? "
"Xiang Chen Xi! Are you a man? If something happens and you let Chu Liang face those reporters alone, do you know how helpless she actually is?! " Chen Shu was a woman, so he could understand Tao Chu Liang's feelings more easily.
"I know! Of course I know! I could tell she was scared, nervous, lost. I also know that she trusts me, but the truth is the truth. I don't have the face to see her again! " Xiang Chen Xi roared.
"So you think running away is the way to go?" Can you solve the problem by smoking and drinking here? "
"Don't say anymore!" Xiang Chen Xi held his head in pain.
Chen Shu looked at Xiang Chen Xi's unmoved expression, and angrily left. Sheng Jue shook his head and sighed: "Chen Xi, perhaps you have underestimated the affection Chu Liang has for you."
Finally, the room was quiet again. He decided that he would leave this place. This time, he had to hide it from everyone.
But he missed Chu Liang too much. Before he left, he wanted to see her.
Before going, Xiang Chen Xi wrote a letter.
Returning to his villa, Xiang Chen Xi looked around carefully to see that there wasn't anyone around. It was very late and Tao Chu Liang had already rested. Xiang Chen Xi opened the door gently and the living room turned completely dark.
Xiang Chen Xi was very nervous, she was afraid that Tao Chu Liang had not slept yet. But when he arrived at the second floor's door, Xiang Chen Xi saw that familiar figure.
Tao Chu Liang was curled up on the bed, and the moonlight shone through the window into the room. Xiang Chen Xi stood at the door and watched. He could faintly hear the sound of her breathing in the air. I really want to hug her again, kiss her forehead, but Xiang Chen Xi can't move a single step.
He placed the letter he had written himself at the door, turned around, and left. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold her tightly!
