Chapter 107 -107: Isn’t this the purpose you wanted to achieve?
“Alright, let’s not bring up the past anymore, Mom just wants to see you happy and content in the future.”
The car stopped in front of a high-end restaurant, where a valet helped park it.
After entering, they were directly led to a private room.
However, to her surprise, there was another man in the private room—Ye Yuli.
Tang Yu realized what was happening and immediately looked at Yu Zhaohui with displeasure, “What is this supposed to mean?”
“Nothing, just a meal together.”
Tang Yu turned and walked away.
Yu Zhaohui blocked the door, “Don’t leave, listen to your mother, finish this meal, it’s not a big deal.”
She directly pulled Tang Yu to a seat.
Ye Yuli, on the other hand, looked at Tang Yu with ease, focusing his gaze, “You really don’t want to see me that much?”
“Why are you two having dinner together?” Tang Yu asked him directly.
Yu Zhaohui said, “I called him here. His mother is always giving you trouble, and it has to be resolved, right?”
Tang Yu glared at Ye Yuli, “Wouldn’t it be great if you just stayed away from me?”
“Xiaoyu, watch how you speak?” Yu Zhaohui feigned reprimand and glanced at Ye Yuli before saying, “Regardless, you two had a past together, and I believe if you’re in trouble, Yuli would definitely be willing to help you.”
Tang Yu’s expression was somber, “I don’t need it, I can handle my own affairs.”
“How will you handle it? Can you contend with Ye Sihan? We have to collaborate to save you!” Yu Zhaohui said. “Anyway, as long as he doesn’t hurt you.”
“I don’t want to seek Ye Yuli’s help!” Tang Yu said, and then she stood up, left the private room, and opened the door to go out.
Ye Yuli’s face was stern and his expression grim.
He then chased after her, moving even faster than Yu Zhaohui.
Tang Yu stormed out of the restaurant and was about to cross the street when she saw a car speeding toward her, causing her feet to freeze in fright.
Yu Zhaohui, who was chasing after her, also saw the scene and screamed in shock.
In the nick of time, her body was forcefully pulled aside, held tightly in an embrace.
While Tang Yu was still confused, she heard Ye Yuli’s low roar, “Don’t you look before crossing the road?”
Once she regained her composure, Tang Yu stepped out of Ye Yuli’s arms and maintained her distance, but her face still showed the lingering effects of fear.
If it weren’t for Ye Yuli, she would have certainly been hit by the car, with injuries that could have been minor or severe.
The main issue was that she had been too angry to pay sufficient attention to the traffic on the street.
However, why did Ye Yuli’s expression seem even more panicked than hers?
It caused a stir in her heart.
“Thank you.” She spoke softly, like someone who had done something wrong, helpless and resigned.
Ye Yuli watched her and asked, “Are you prepared to endure being by Ye Sihan’s side forever?”
Tang Yu smiled with a mix of distress and sorrow, “We’ve already broken up, so why bother with my well-being now? Just treat me as a stranger…”
“I regret it.” Ye Yuli interrupted her.
Tang Yu stared at him blankly, her eyes revealing a pain that slipped through her emotions, but it made her confused.
What she regretted?
Regretted breaking up?
Regretted hurting her?
“So you say you regret it, and I should just wait for you?” Tang Yu held resentment in her heart. If it weren’t for Ye Yuli’s ‘betrayal,’ would the subsequent events have occurred? She wouldn’t have to suffer so much! Thinking of something, she asked, “Did you call off your marriage to Zhou Qinghua because of me?”
Ye Yuli did not respond.
Silence was consent.
Tang Yu took a deep breath and said, “You don’t need to do this, it’s meaningless, the matter between Ye Sihan and me is none of your business.” With that, she ran off.
Ye Yuli stood in place, watching as Tang Yu ran further away, without following her.
His heart felt as though it was being gripped, an intense discomfort.
Tang Yu took the subway home.
Yu Zhaohui called her, but she didn’t answer.
Her mind was in utter chaos.
As she stepped out of the subway station, the phone rang again.
She glanced at it and picked up with impatience, “Why do you keep calling? Don’t you know I don’t want to pick up!”
“Xiaoyu, can you listen to Mom this time?” Yu Zhaohui pleaded. “Ye Yuli is handsome and successful, a good match for you. I think he can’t let go of you either, so why not rekindle the past relationship? For one thing, Ye Sihan might restrain himself from hurting his brother’s wife; and for another, it can infuriate Lin Shuhuan. To let her gloat while her own son is still chasing after my daughter.”
Tang Yu was almost amused to anger by her, “Your plan, even before it starts, has already been strangled in the cradle by Ye Sihan!”
“How do you know if you haven’t tried?” Yu Zhaohui disagreed.
“Because I know how ruthless Ye Sihan’s methods can be,” Tang Yu said.
How could outsiders, who have never been in that situation, understand that kind of despair and fear?
“You mean to say he would stop your wedding with a gun in his hand?”
Tang Yu had witnessed the ferocity of Ye Sihan with a gun; if she actually went to marry another man, regardless of who he was, the outcome would be unimaginably terrifying.
She dared not touch Ye Sihan’s reverse scale with the slightest hope of luck.
Just as she was about to speak, a car suddenly stopped beside her.
Tang Yu instinctively dodged to the side, and when she saw what kind of car it was, she gasped in shock.
She was so stunned that she forgot to end the call and just stared as the car door opened before her.
When the man sitting inside like an emperor entered her vision, Tang Yu nervously put away her phone.
Ye Sihan’s black, inscrutable eyes fixed on her, sending chills down her spine like a beast eyeing its prey.
Without waiting for his command, Tang Yu hesitated for a moment before obediently getting into the car.
The car made a U-turn and sped away.
Tang Yu, facing Ye Sihan’s intense gaze, sat on edge.
“Not answering the phone, are you resisting? Huh?” Ye Sihan’s deep, icy voice made the air in the enclosed car drop even lower.
“Did you call me? I was busy and didn’t catch it,” Tang Yu said innocently, “And later I didn’t notice any missed calls…”
Ye Sihan’s face bore only a cold expression; it was impossible to tell if he believed her or not, but his look was particularly intimidating.
Tang Yu didn’t dare meet his gaze, lowering her eyes instead, the invisible pressure making her breathing unsteady.
“Where have you been?”
Tang Yu knew Ye Sihan was asking a rhetorical question, so she could not lie, “My mother came to the set to find me; she wanted to take me to eat, but I refused, so I ran away from the restaurant. She just called me, very angry.”
She didn’t mention Ye Yuli.
If she had, the situation would have become more serious.
“Must be anxious, her daughter being played and tampered with by me, right?” Ye Sihan asked coldly.
“That’s exactly the result you wanted,” Tang Yu said, her voice lacking firmness.
Ye Sihan didn’t say a word, but the dangerous atmosphere surrounding him was palpable.
Tang Yu shuddered, her nerves on edge.
She had only spoken the truth, yet it seemed like she had said something she should not have.
She thought Ye Sihan might do something terrible to her in the car, but nothing happened.
