Break up

After Tang Yi agreed, Shen Fan arranged everything non-stop, even weekends.On Sunday afternoon, Tang Yi heard the news that Lin Rui had arrived in T City.

Naturally, Lin Rui wouldn't contact him as soon as he came back, the news was from Sao Fatty.

After Gu Yanting returned to the company last week, he asked Sao Fatty to send the spare key to Tang Yi.He was afraid that Tang Yi would not accept it, so he would tell Tang Yi almost every day, saying that the house over there was heated, but there was no one at home during the pressure test before, and he didn't know if the heating had leaked.He also said that when he left, it seemed that the gas was not turned off, and there seemed to be food in the house. I don't know if it will attract mice. In short, there are all kinds of worries. I hope Tang Yi will go and have a look.

Tang Yi has no plans to go back. He and Gu Yanting are not really reunited. Besides, compared to the previous state of being together without distinction between you and me every minute, the current relationship that is biased towards love makes him feel More comfortable.

He didn't say it clearly, but Gu Yanting also felt it, so he turned his finger on Sao Pang, and asked Sao Fatty to give Tang Yi the key of the house no matter what, and let him accept it.

Fatty Sao was not happy at first.As soon as Gu Yanting left in the past two years, he thought that he had nothing to do with Tang Yi, the "friend" anymore. Who knew that Tang Yi would never stand on the sidelines whenever he was in trouble, and he would never pay money or effort. Say something else.

Sao Pang knew in his heart that this was taking advantage of Gu Yanting, and Tang Yi would not contact him at all. The reason why he was able to help himself was that Tang Yi himself was a cold-hearted person. Although he didn't make many friends, he was posted by them many times. With the label of Chengfushen, in fact, once you trust someone, you will treat each other with sincerity.The second is that Tang Yi is very affectionate, and he doesn't tell others, at least he does it to Gu Yanting.

Sao Fatty could not repay him for taking care of him. At first, he felt grateful and guilty, but when he learned that the Gu family's parents occasionally received things, he really got complicated.

Gu Yanting really shouldn't hurt Tang Yi's heart for Lin Rui, but when Gu Yanting did this, these friends didn't sincerely stop him.Among those people, Sao Pang is considered conscientious, and he just reminded him a little bit.

The bottom line is that when everyone compares Tang Yi and Lin Rui behind their backs, they think Tang Yi is not as good as Lin Rui from the bottom of their hearts.

Lin Rui is their college classmate. Although his personal style is not very good, he is not a bad person. When he is loyal, he will help his friends. When he sees the elderly or children in need, he will help the leader. Money from classmates.He usually wears famous brands in his clothes and things, and when he does these things, he is especially able to win favor.And Tang Yi himself is an ordinary person, and doing the same thing is taken for granted by everyone.

Comparing the two, in the eyes of those friends, apart from appearance, the family background is worthy of comparison. Tang Yi's appearance is good, but it feels too serious. Lin Rui's slightly seductive purity is more likely to attract Hormones in men.Not to mention the family background, they have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world since they graduated, and the children from poor families who have struggled for ten years may not be worth what other people's fathers say.Tang Yi's hard work and forbearance are at most in exchange for "not easy".

Men think that home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers. When Gu Yanting was broken up, Lin Rui held a birthday party for him, and this group of people also made a fuss at the birthday party.Some people even whispered the word "hypocritical" in a disdainful voice when mentioning Tang Yi.Sao Fatty had a sullen face and didn't speak at the time, but his heart was also towards Gu Yanting, thinking that Tang Yi's actions were a bit too extreme.

At that time, he hadn't encountered the fact that his girlfriend ran away with his first love, but later he encountered the same mess, Tang Yi came to help him when he was most lost afterwards, and he felt the aggrieved and angry empathy.

Sao Fat felt that this was retribution, and every time Tang Yi helped, it would deepen his guilt.This is also the reason why when Gu Yanting first came back and wanted his help in making suggestions, he stopped him without even thinking about it.

Now that Gu Yanting begged him for help, Sao Pang had a hundred dissatisfaction in his heart.The matter of delivering the keys was delayed again and again by him, until Lin Rui suddenly sent a message in the classmate group to return to T City, he hesitated for a moment, drove the car as an excuse to deliver the keys, and actually went to report the letter.

Gu Yanting didn't expect that when he was beaten to death, when Fatty Sao ran to Tang Yi's apartment, the first thing he said straight to the point was, "Brother Tang, that kid Lin Rui is back."

When Tang Yi opened the door, he was on the phone with Gu Yanting in his hand, and he was stunned for a long time before he could react from the cold air coming in from Sao Fatty.

He was stunned for a moment, turned sideways to give way, so Sao Pang carelessly entered the door to change his shoes, and said in a loud voice while changing, "Boss asked me to give you the keys, hey, I guess he wants to get back together! Let me tell you Brother Tang, you can't agree so easily, once the man surnamed Lin comes back, his pissing nature will definitely not be changed by dogs."

Sao Fatty's voice was loud, and word for word was transmitted into the phone.

Tang Yi really didn't know that Lin Rui would arrive so soon. In the past two days, Gu Yanting had to fly over to see him like a convulsion. He said he would stay one night before leaving. He disagreed, so Gu Yanting switched to phone calls and text messages to attack continuously Tang Yi wanted to take care of what happened after Lin Rui came, but he almost disrupted it.

Of course, he didn't mention Lin Rui's coming back.

Gu Yanting was suddenly stunned on the phone, and after a long time, he was about to scold the fat man to death with a groan, but Tang Yi hung up quickly.

Fanfan jumped over cheerfully, and sniffed at Sao Fatty's feet.Sao Pang picked up the little milk dog in amazement and stared at it for a long time. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he happily found a seat in his arms and sat down.

Tang Yi went to pour a glass of water and put it aside for him. When he sat down, he heard Sao Fatty persevere in persuading him, "Brother Tang, you can't be soft-hearted."

Tang Yi smiled and sat down on the other side. Hearing this, he glanced at him, a little surprised, "Why am I soft-hearted?"

"Our boss, he asked me to give you the key." Fatty Sao took the key out of his pocket, put it on the coffee table and pushed it forward, "Maybe this is trying to sensationalize and fool you."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to sell his brother, so he explained very objectively, "His house has not been moved, and it attracted mice when he came back last time. Please ask the housekeeper to clean it up for a day. It must be because of distress later. Yes, I have been helping to look after it for a month, and once a week I ask the housekeeper to clean it up. If you go back and look at it now, it is estimated that nothing has changed. "

Sao Fatty coughed after stating the facts, and then returned to the central idea, "But that's what happened in this month, it wasn't like that in the previous two years."

Tang Yi held the cup in both hands and listened to him vigorously. Turning his head, he saw Gu Yanting calling again. He raised his eyebrows and changed the ringtone to silent, and threw it aside to signal Sao Fatty to continue talking.

In fact, it's not that Fatty Sao really doesn't want the two of them to get back together. After the chat, he sighed and said with some emotion, "Boss, he only wants to get back together, and it's true that he hasn't had any sex in the past two years. But I still love him. I really can't build up any confidence. Lin Rui used to fart for him, but if he said that he would take Lin Rui as a passerby, he wouldn't be able to trust anyone. From the bottom of my heart I said I was looking forward to the reconciliation between the two of you, but when I look back and think about Lin Rui is still here, I feel that this matter cannot pass like this."

His words basically meant the same thing as Shen Fan's, but they were more sincere. Holding the water glass, Tang Yi lowered his eyes and watched the water patterns swaying in circles, and nodded slowly after a long time.

Sao Fatty sighed and asked him, "Then Brother Tang, do you still have confidence in the boss?"

Tang Yi thought for a long time before giving a very vague answer.Who knew that within a long time, Shen Fan told him that he had already settled in the hotel, and when he asked him to have dinner, he asked the exact same question again.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Shen Fan sat in the dining room with his eyebrows locked, waiting for Tang Yi to sit down opposite him before recovering.Tang Yi lost a full two laps compared to a month ago, but fortunately he looked quite energetic. Shen Fan didn't speak. After ordering, he turned his face and looked at Tang Yi and asked, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

Tang Yi smiled, and finally replied lightly, "It might be better if you don't push Lin Rui over."

"..." Shen Fan's expression froze for a moment, and after a while, he looked across the table, "Tang Yi, how much confidence do you have in Gu Yanting?"

Tang Yi squinted his eyes and didn't speak, and Shen Fan stopped showing off, and simply said, "I didn't like him at first. This person said he was simple, but to put it bluntly, he was stupid. It's useless to fart in the society. Everything depends on you. Not to mention eating from the bowl and looking at the pot."

"But he's not anymore," Tang Yi smiled, "Even if he made a mistake, he has to be given a chance to reform himself. Why do you look down on him so much?"

"Yes, he is quite capable now." Shen Fan paused, and then smiled strangely after a few seconds, "But do you believe it?"

"He has come to look for you, hasn't he? What good things did he say? Can he make money now? Are he capable?" Shen Fan said lightly, "Do you really believe it? Or are you also surprised?"

"..."

"Have you asked him what he has done in the past two years? How did he get up, how did he make a fortune, which one can be discovered and become popular... What do you do for a living now?"

Tang Yi's pupils shrank sharply, and he didn't speak for a long time.Shen Fan obviously had other meanings in his words, but Tang Yi deceived himself and found out that he didn't want to know this.These are the uneasiness and doubts dormant deep in his heart.

Does he believe it?In this way, Gu Yanting got ahead smoothly. He does have certain talents, but can his talents reach such a high position in one fell swoop?

The answer is no.

But he didn't ask, the subconscious mind prevented him from asking these questions.

Shen Fan's face was a little tired, while Tang Yi was stunned, he saw the slight stubble on his face and the faint blue color under his eye sockets.

The waiter quickly brought up the dishes, and the two of them were silent, and the four dishes and one soup were quickly prepared.

Shen Fan refused the waiter's action, but scooped up the soup for Tang Yi himself.When he put the soup bowl aside and waited for it to cool, he looked up at Tang Yi, and finally paused under the latter's gaze. He gave up half of his bowl, and asked Tang Yi instead, "Do you want to know?"

"..." Tang Yi opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

Shen Fan said, "You want to know, but you don't dare to know, right? You see, even without Lin Rui, you don't completely trust each other. You don't completely trust him." He paused, He added, "You don't fully believe in yourself either."

"And then?" Tang Yi smiled vaguely, "It's not a big deal."

Shen Fan glanced at him and didn't continue talking.Tang Yi also ate and drank with a smile in response to the occasion, without further mentioning it.

The problem between him and Gu Yanting is indeed not limited to Lin Rui. Before they broke up, the two often had cold wars. Tang Yi was busy with work and had a high income. Gu Yanting's inconsistent words and deeds made him feel cold, so the more he went on, the more he was unwilling to take care of him. how the other person feels.The most common thing is that he occasionally shows disdain for Gu Yanting's income.

When the two broke up, his words might have stabbed a knife in Gu Yanting's heart. He told Gu Yanting coldly that he was not mature enough and had little money, and when the family had to rely on himself everywhere, Gu Yanting's eyes were red at that time. up.

In the past two years, Gu Yanting has been away from home, and now he is stalking after returning. The confidence in this is that he can bear it himself, and he is no longer a stupid boy with nothing.In fact, after the separation, Tang Yi also regretted that sentence. It was not what he really thought, it was purely for revenge on Gu Yanting, but now he denies the water that was thrown out by what he said, and who would believe it.

In fact, he would rather Gu Yanting hit the big luck and soared into the sky.

Seeing that he was always distracted, Shen Fan couldn't bear it for a long time. After picking up a piece of food for him, he couldn't help but said, "I owe Father Lin a favor. Lin Rui has long wanted to come back to City T, and I have been procrastinating. It's just that before A few days later, his mother was diagnosed with an illness, but it was not confirmed whether it was benign or malignant, so his father asked, and I released him."

Tang Yi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Fan.

Shen Fan coughed lightly and said, "Of course, I also have selfish intentions to watch him prevent you from reconciling with Gu Yanting."

Tang Yi: "..."

"But you don't have to be too embarrassing in the company. Give him any position, and the salary will be allocated from the headquarters. If you don't want to see him, you can give him an idle job and give him a vacation."

Tang Yi took a serious look at him, and smiled, "Then I might as well give him an errand to torment him." He paused, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked softly, "Yanting, what has he done in the past two years?" work, okay?"

His expression was somewhat nervous, and Shen Fan's smile froze slightly. After a while, he said slowly, "There is no problem with work, but the reason why he was able to come to Huayuan was because he was once misunderstood by President Fang of Huayuan as Zhou Hao."

Shen Fan raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Yi and said, "He does have certain talents, but according to his education and knowledge, he didn't have these opportunities to make his mark."

Tang Yi's breathing stopped for a moment.Shen Fan said and stopped here, seeing Tang Yi's face turned pale, his fingertips trembling slightly, he opened his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Shen Fan knew that it would be meaningless to stop halfway through the conversation.He waited for a while, and when he saw Tang Yi leaning motionlessly on the chair behind him, he said slowly, "Whether there is a pusher behind this, and whether Zhou Dongchuan has heard about it, I have been looking for someone to investigate for a long time, but I have no clue But one thing is very clear, Gu Yanting was not born to the Gu family. The two elders of the Gu family had changed houses, but the neighbors before knew that this child came to the Gu family when he was five or six years old. Gu Yanting is honest, I am afraid I don't remember any of these things."

"He is now carefree and content with a high salary, but you know, maybe it won't be long before, what will he face?"

"He is a young animal raised as a sheep, and sooner or later he will be thrown into the pool of blood to be slaughtered."

The mobile phone placed on the dining table suddenly buzzed and vibrated. Tang Yi felt a little weak. He glanced at it from a distance, but then his eyes were burned, and he avoided it in a hurry.Shen Fan's gaze moved, and he waited until the word "Gu Yanting" on the screen faded and the phone returned to calm before he sighed softly.

He was silent for a while, and then said softly after a while, "I didn't support you and Zhou Hao before, I just didn't want you to get involved with the Zhou family. If you really can't change your sexual orientation, I even agree with finding someone like Lin Rui. Or something simpler, at least you have to be able to hold it back."

Tang Yi gave a hoarse wry smile, "Don't disgust me, it's nothing to talk about Lin Rui."

"I'm serious," Shen Fan sighed, "but I didn't expect you to still like Gu Yanting. If you don't like this kind of face, then Zhou Hao is not as good as you. The two of them look alike, Zhou Hao at least has the ability Take responsibility, you don't have to shield him from the wind and rain. But Gu Yanting is different, he doesn't even know why he is in Huayuan now, if you are with him in the future, you will be the one who stands out in the hail of bullets."

"You're thinking too far. The Zhou family has too many illegitimate children outside. Zhou Hao said that, except for the one who was admitted home, everyone else... is worthless in the eyes of the Zhou family."

The candle-shaped chandelier on the dining table cast a golden light and shadow, Tang Yi slowly leaned forward, reached out and held down the phone.The body of the phone was cold, and so were his fingertips.Seven missed calls signed by Gu Yanting were displayed on the phone.His fingers slowly slid over, and he heard Shen Fan whisper, "That's true."

"..."

"But back then, Zhou Dongchuan liked the youngest son." He said in a low voice, "Zhou Hao was only admitted to the Zhou family later."

"I don't believe it...Even so, Yan Ting doesn't have to be at the mercy of others." Halfway through Tang Yi's speech, he felt a little difficult to breathe.He calmly comforted himself in his heart and took a deep breath, but he refuted himself very clearly in his mind.

Gu Yanting doesn't necessarily listen to others, but it doesn't mean others won't manipulate him.If Zhou Dongchuan had been brooding over the events of that year, even if he had no feelings for Gu Yanting, he would inevitably use it to warn those who disobeyed him back then.

For example, Zhou Hao...

Tang Yi swallowed, and said slowly after a long time, "Brother...it doesn't have to be..."

Shen Fan looked up at him, Tang Yi met his gaze, and said, "Maybe, it will be like you and me..."

"..."

Tang Yi: "Really?"

Shen Fan looked at him, stretched out his hand and pressed the center of his eyebrows slowly for a long time, then shook his head coldly, "No."

"Tang Yi, how do you know, I have never guarded against you."

Tang Yi: "..."

"I knew about the battle between Huayuan and the Zhou family earlier than you did. Although it is a fact that the company's finances are tight, if there were no problems with the head office at that time, it would be difficult for me to guarantee that I would have immediately extended a helping hand."

Shen Fan paused, a bit difficult, but he still said frankly, "It's a rare opportunity for the snipe and the clam to compete. If I take a subsidiary company as bait, I can get several times the benefits in the end, it's hard not to be tempted. Of course, after the event I will give you multiples of this subsidiary as compensation."

Tang Yi's face changed, and then he slowly turned his head away.

Shen Fan clasped his hands and let out a breath slowly.

After a while, he heard Tang Yi say softly, "I know."

Shen Fan froze for a moment, "When?"

"Last weekend." Tang Yi raised his hand and put it down again, "Gu Yanting reminded me that this subsidiary might just be used as a pawn. I suddenly realized that er would be used as a pawn one day .He stubbornly corrected me, saying it wasn't ER, it was just this subsidiary."

"..." Shen Fan was stunned, and said for a long time, "For he has a brain."

"Shen Fan, can I make a request?" Tang Yi smiled lightly.

"What request, you say."

"I want to buy all the shares of this subsidiary." Tang Yi said, "All."

There was snow on the road when returning home, and Tang Yi walked along the way back for a long time before he realized it in a daze.He stopped slowly, and stretched out his hand to watch the bigger and bigger snowflakes fall to his palm, slowly melting into nothingness.

He remembered the first Mid-Autumn Festival, when he went back with Gu Yanting, Gu's parents and Gu's mother were looking forward to it at the bus station.It was cold and early that year, and Gu Yanting went back at night in order to wait for him.When they got off the car, the hands of the elders were red with cold, and when they returned home, the table was full of cold dishes, and Mama Gu rubbed her itchy hands and reheated them one by one.

That day Gu Yanting introduced with a silly smile, "My father, my mother." Tang Yi was extremely envious, thinking, from now on, he will be my father and my mother.

Tang Yi understood Shen Fan's concerns. Apart from the various problems that Gu Yanting would face in the future, there was another point that Zhou Hao was still the second largest shareholder of Er.If Zhou Hao and Gu Yanting faced each other that day, no matter what purpose Shen Fan had, he would choose to support Zhou Hao.Tang Yi's position will be very embarrassing.

When Tang Yi told Shen Fan that he would buy all the shares of this subsidiary and completely sever all relations with the head office, Shen Fan was silent for a while, and couldn't help but say to him, you are crazy.

is crazy.

Tang Yi was silent for a long time, and replied to Shen Fanyi's words.

——Tang Yi, how much confidence do you have in Gu Yanting?

--no confidence.However, I love him.
