"You can have the day off. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back earlier tonight. I'll send someone to pick you up if I need you."
After he was done giving instructions to Tang Guo, Leng Rui took his briefcase and left.
Leng Ziyue felt his heart lurch violently. Come back earlier tonight??
If he needed her, he would send someone to pick her up??
So, Guo really was his father's woman?
He looked at the contract: it was a contract with Galaxy Music Entertainment Co.
Was it for a contract with Galaxy Music Entertainment Co. that Guo had decided to hook up with his dad? And had even agreed to be the kind of woman who would go to him whenever he needed her to, the kind of woman that would be at his beck and call?
Leng Ziyue massaged his head in agony. "Guo, even if you blame me, or resent me, you still don't have to cheapen yourself like this."
Tang Guo cast a look at Leng Ziyue, who seemed to be in so much pain that death would have been much easier. Then, she took a sip of milk and reminded him, "You have the money you asked for. Isn't it time you pay me back? Leng Ziyue, you still owe me twenty million."
"Guo…"
Tang Guo took a look at the check and asked, "Are you going to pay me my money, or not?
Feeling a little sad, Leng Ziyue pushed the check over to Tang Guo. Then, he said, "This was originally meant for you."
"Guo, why are you doing this?" Leng Ziyue looked very apologetic and guilty. "If it's because the breakup was too much for you to handle, you can come looking for me. I don't care how you try to avenge yourself against me. Why do you have to make yourself so cheap? You're treating yourself like a product to be sold."
Tang Guo picked up the check. When she heard what he said, she lifted her eyes to him and said indifferently, "You're okay with any kind of revenge?"
"Yes, so long as you don't cheapen yourself anymore. You can do whatever you want to me. I'll accept it."
"I'll keep that in mind." Tang Guo smiled and said, "I'm full. You take your time with breakfast."
"Guo, my dad is not a good man. He'll throw you out of the villa in two days' time. You better start making other plans. Even if you've secured a contract with Galaxy Music, when my dad loses interest in you, he won't take care of you anymore, and the people over at Galaxy Music won't either. You won't get a single thing that you want."
However, Tang Guo had already gone upstairs and was heading right in the direction of Leng Rui's room. Leng Ziyue had no doubt that the two were already involved in some kind of relationship.
"Guo," Leng Ziyue called out to Tang Guo, whose back was quickly disappearing from sight. "Don't be so easy in the future. After you leave this place, come to me. If you want to be a singer, I'll help you."
Tang Guo looked back and smiled. "No need. Your father is much more capable than you. He's handsome and richer, and he has the charisma of a mature man. That's very attractive."
Just as Leng Ziyue was about to respond, his phone rang. When he saw the name on the Caller ID, he was no longer concerned about what he wanted to say to Tang Guo, and without further ado, he answered the call.
"Qiqi, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"Ziyue, where are you?"
Leng Ziyue cast a look at the stairs. Tang Guo had left. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm home. What's the matter, Qiqi?"
Right after he asked this question, Tang Guo's soft voice rang out beside him. She sounded like she had just gotten out of bed and wasn't fully awake yet. "Ziyue, who called you? Ziyue, do you have some little vixen out there?" Tang Guo blinked. The corners of her mouth curved upwards into a half-smile that was full of malice.
Her voice sounded tender and delicate, as if she were angry with him and was being coquettish. But in reality, Tang Guo was standing far away from him, though anyone who heard her would have thought they were sharing an intimate moment. The truth was far from it, however.
Leng Ziyue's entire body stiffened. It was Lu Qi's voice from the other end of the phone that brought him back to his senses.
"Leng Ziyue, who is that?
"You've really disappointed me. I thought you were different. It never occurred to me that in the end, it would be me, Lu Qi, who ended up being the blind one."
Without giving Leng Ziyue a chance to explain, Lu Qi hung up the phone with a click.
"Qiqi, Qiqi…"
Leng Ziyue was so anxious that he started walking around in circles. In the end, he gave Tang Guo a look of reproach and then ran out of the villa at lightning speed.
