Chapter 172 Escape
Tang Yanzhe remained silent throughout the entire process.
Yan Yuan was not asleep either.
Because of the biting cold that seeped into her bones, she couldn't fall asleep even if she wanted to.
The car drove into Tangjia.
"arrive."
Yan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and whispered something, trying to break the terrifying atmosphere.
She looked up and met Tang Yanzhe's eyes.
"...Mr. Tang, I'll go back and rest now."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively drove off.
But suddenly the door wouldn't open, and the driver was nowhere to be found.
A bad feeling welled up in Yan Yuan's heart. She took a deep breath and said, "President Tang, what's wrong...?"
"What happened at the banquet today?"
Tang Yanzhe said calmly.
"Today's banquet..."
Yan Yuan pinched her hand, forcing herself to calm down. "Oh, I saw Madam Gu today. She came to Haishi and attended the banquet, but I saw that you were busy, so I didn't bother you."
"so what?"
Tang Yanzhe pursed his lips, his eyes darkening slightly. "Yan Yuan, whether she came to Haishi or not, whether she was at the banquet or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Yan Yuan avoided his gaze, "You have a business relationship with the Gu family, I thought..."
"Do you think?"
Tang Yanzhe was amused by Yan Yuan's words. "Can you look at me when you talk to me in the future? Did I hit you or what? Are you so afraid of me that you don't even tell me when others bully you? Or is it that in your eyes, I'm not worth you saying these things?"
Yan Yuan timidly raised her eyes.
It was definitely because of that incident.
"I... that was a small matter. Miss Fang didn't do anything to me. You are engaged to her sister, and I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
"Make things difficult for me? Think about it carefully. Do you really not want to make things difficult for me, or do you simply not care? If you can't figure it out, then stay here and don't go back!"
Tang Yanzhe slammed the door and left.
Yan Yuan watched his retreating figure, then slumped helplessly into the car.
Then laughed.
She didn't believe she didn't want to put him in a difficult position, but judging from his expression just now, if he heard her answer, he would probably be unhappy again.
What difference does it make whether I said it or not?
In the study.
Tang Yanzhe kept his head down, dealing with official business, occasionally glancing up at the time, glancing out the window at the cars below, his brows furrowed.
After going back and forth several times, the man got up and went downstairs.
He stood in front of the car door, remained silent for a moment, and then opened the door.
Yan Yuan was asleep, curled up in bed, and woke up instinctively at the sound.
Their eyes met, and she quickly sat up.
"Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang."
Wasn't the purpose of making her reflect on her actions?
Why is he here?
Tang Yanzhe looked at her intently, then tossed her his coat. "Put this on and go back to rest."
"Say it," he said, turning and leaving.
Yan Yuan was still wearing her evening gown for the banquet. It was cool at night, and she would easily catch a cold if she went out like that.
Tang Yanzhe is a strange person.
Yan Yuan watched the man's retreating figure, put on her coat, got out of the car, and went straight back to her room.
She was so tired that she didn't think about anything else. She took a shower and fell asleep in bed.
*
The next day.
Yan Yuan woke up.
There was a calendar on her bedside table.
The first thing she does when she wakes up is to look at the document and then cross out the previous day.
Her room was opposite the master bedroom.
Tang Yanzhe usually gets up very early, so she almost never runs into him when she goes out. But there are times when she wakes up early and she calculates the time, waiting for him to leave before going out herself.
Because I went to bed late last night, I slept until 10 o'clock today.
As soon as she went downstairs, she heard the servants talking.
"Did you hear? Last night, President Tang was furious and wouldn't let that person in. It wasn't until late at night that President Tang finally let him in, I don't know what tricks that person used."
"What tricks can she use? It's nothing more than acting cute and her skills in bed."
"No wonder I haven't gotten up yet; I guess I can't get up."
The voice was very soft, but every word still reached Yan Yuan's ears.
She was already used to these kinds of comments.
But Tang Yanzhe clearly let her in last night, so what does it have to do with her?
Even if Tang Yanzhe doesn't get out of the car, she'll just be sleeping in the car for one night.
There won’t be any missing pieces of meat.
They got more and more excited as they talked, when one of them, with sharp eyes, spotted Yan Yuan coming down and quickly nudged the person next to her, saying, "Stop talking!"
The servants, seeing this, also noticed Yan Yuan.
"Miss Yan."
Ultimately, since it was someone who was gossiping about others behind their backs, they felt extremely guilty and their attitude became much more respectful.
"morning."
Yan Yuan remained calm, as if she hadn't heard the person from before, and walked straight into the restaurant.
They looked down on her, but they didn't dare to skimp on her meals.
Everything is available.
After all, her body contained things they wanted to cherish.
After meal.
Yan Yuan told Tang Yanzhe that she wanted to visit her father's cemetery, and he agreed.
My father passed away in Kyoto and was eventually buried in Mishi.
The burial site was chosen by Tang Yanzhe. During that period, she was in a state of mental depression and lost the ability to think.
Yan Yuan was grateful to Tang Yanzhe for this.
Given her current situation, without money, she probably couldn't even afford a burial plot.
"dad."
Yan Yuan squatted down, looking at her father's photo on the tombstone. "I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you in a long time, but I'll probably come even less often in the future."
I thought someone like me wouldn't make friends, but I guess I should... I consider her a friend, but I don't know if she considers me a friend either, because I made her angry when we met yesterday. She thought I was pathetic... But I think it's better to avoid trouble. I can just let these harmless words go, since we won't know each other anymore anyway.
"Dad, I don't like Haishi. I want to go back to Yunshi. That's where we lived together. I haven't been back since I could see. Things I couldn't see when I was little, I want to see now. I remember there was a little river outside our yard, with fish in it, and a whole field of rapeseed flowers along the river. I want to see all of that."
It's almost there.
Yan Yuan looked at the time.
Five years.
In one month, five years will have passed.
Five years is neither a long nor a short time.
Time seemed to stretch on for Tang Yanzhe, but in those five years, the time he actually spent with his father was very limited.
"Dad, I should go back now. Don't worry about me, I'm doing very well."
Yan Yuan got up and walked out of the cemetery.
As she reached the door, a person came towards her, and she bumped right into him.
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
Yan Yuan apologized immediately, but when she looked up and saw the other person's face, her pupils widened instantly, and her blood ran cold.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
The man looked at the woman in front of him and felt strange.
"No, I'm fine."
Yan Yuan shook her head and fled in panic.
On the road.
Yan Yuan shrank back, her face deathly pale.
