Because a certain someone had become a wounded person. Tang Xiao, who was still in the midst of unilaterally declaring a cold war, also mercifully went to Zhou Zi Yuan’s home.
“Sss… It hurts. Can’t you be a little gentler?”
Hearing this, Tang Xiao rolled her eyes, “You are scared of pain? Don’t make a fool of yourself since you are scared of pain.”
“But, Zhou Zi Yuan, I don’t blame Gu Yu Cheng for wanting to beat you up. I also want to give you a slap.” Tang Xiao glared at Zhou Zi Yuan again, “Don’t you think you are a brain-dead?”
“You should know better than me that Bai Xin Yu has feelings for Gu Yu Cheng, right? Gu Company didn’t even let Bai Xin Yu in, yet when it comes to you, you actually let that person in!”
“Sss… Gentler. Say it clearly, what do you mean I let that person in?” Zhou Zi Yuan muttered in dissatisfaction.
“If it wasn’t you, then who could it be? I have even heard from Assistant Wang that Bai Xin Yu got into Gu Company because of that MCC endorsement shoot. Don’t you dare say it has nothing to do with you.”
“Aren’t I also unaware of this matter?” Zhou Zi Yuan sighed.
Speaking of which, he was really a bit wronged about this.
MCC was a brand that the branch under the Zhou Group had acquired some time ago, and it could only be considered one of the many.
Such a small project for a branch office would not have required consulting Zhou Zi Yuan, the vice chairman.
Naturally, he had no idea that the spokesperson of MCC was Bai Xin Yu.
This time, he had questioned about this matter. It was because several brands, including MCC, needed to shoot their recent s. The staff from the branch office had directly contacted the relevant staff from Gu Company to borrow the ultra-high-end car park under Gu Company for a live-action shoot.
Zhou Group and Gu Company have cooperated in many aspects, and the two companies have always been relatively close.
Thus, this was just a small job for a few departments and teams below. How was he supposed to know that Bai Xin Yu would appear?!
Most importantly, the car park lent by Gu Company had a partition.
How in the world did that person enter Gu Company’s lobby? That Bai Xin Yu is just a ‘celestial’.
How in the world did she do that?
Hearing Zhou Zi Yuan’s explanation, Tang Xiao gave a reluctant nod.
“Say, what would happen to that Bai Xin Yu?”
“What else can happen? So many people witnessed it and there was also surveillance. The sentence for intentionally causing hurt won’t be light.”
“Really?”
Zhou Zi Yuan replied with a sneer, “Don’t forget. There’s Gu Yu Cheng around.”
There was one thing Zhou Zi Yuan didn’t say in front of Tang Xiao.
Just seeing Gu Yu Cheng in that state today, Bai Xin Yu was probably going to put a full stop to her life.
“That’s true.”
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao said in a somewhat soothing mood, “Ay. Say, after this matter is exposed, she should be hated by the whole internet, right?”
Zhou Zi Yuan knocked on Tang Xiao’s head.
“How come all of these little girls like you think so shortsightedly all day?”
“Do you think Gu Yu Cheng will let this matter be exposed?”
People like them were not those celebrities that relied on popularity to live. What do they need all that so-called public popularity for?
Hence, the best way to protect Su Rui and the future child in this matter was to solve the root of the problem and the hidden issues once and for all, regardless of which side public opinion leans towards. Thereafter, to squash the incident to death and deal with it cleanly.
Zhou Zi Yuan explained the reason to Tang Xiao and added, “If I were in his place, I would have done the same.”
“Do what?” Tang Xiao blinked her eyes.
“To protect you.”
“(Snort) Zhou Zi Yuan, aren’t you so mushy?!”
“There’s something even mushier. Do you want to try?”
“Go away. Wait, I have to take a call.” Hearing the phone ring, Tang Xiao pushed Zhou Zi Yuan away and went over to answer the call.
……
Tang Xiao’s call lasted for ten minutes.
Listening to the tone of Tang Xiao’s conversation, Zhou Zi Yuan roughly guessed who called.
“She is pregnant. You have been on the phone with her for so long. Aren’t you afraid you will disturb her rest?” Zhou Zi Yuan said.
Actually, it was simply to complain about Tang Xiao’s long phone call.
“I’m happy to.”
If she wasn’t worried that Su Rui wasn’t feeling well today, she could have talked for even longer.
“Su Rui was on the phone apologizing to you on Gu Yu Cheng’s behalf.” Tang Xiao said.
Zhou Zi Yuan raised an eyebrow when he heard that.
“It’s still Su Rui who is the reasonable one in their family.” Zhou Zi Yuan said. He glanced at Tang Xiao and added, “See, as I said, I can’t be blamed for this if we were to really talk about it.”
“You deserve this then.”
“It is not like you are unaware of how anxious Gu Yu Cheng has been during this time of Su Xiao Rui’s pregnancy.”
Tang Xiao rolled her eyes and added, “You clearly guessed that Gu Yu Cheng would be furious at this situation today. Yet, you still foolishly went up and let him beat you at that time.”
“You don’t understand. It’s called ‘if I don’t go to hell, who else would go down.’ ” Zhou Zi Yuan said leisurely.
After a pause, he continued, “Didn’t you also witness today? Lao Gu’s stance and the emotions suppressed in his heart were immense.”
“A man like him can’t possibly do anything to that Bai Xin Yu, right? So, didn’t it give him a chance to let off steam by going over?”
“But, speaking of which, after knowing each other for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen Lao Gu so angry…” That punch was really damn ruthless.
