War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 234: The Facts Are Evident

Tang Yuxiu’s tone was not good, but all he could do was vent his grievances verbally.

Tang Yuxiu pulled Gu Yan’s hand and passed by Qin Junnan.

Qin Junnan stood in place watching them get into the car and leave, only then did the gentle smile fade from his face, his eyes deepening.

What is the relationship between Gu Yan and Tang Yuxiu? When did they meet?

Why wasn’t this mentioned in the previous investigation materials?

He thought that perhaps their association began after that, which would explain it.

But last time, Gu Yan went with him to Tang Yuxiu’s banquet, and nothing was discovered then.

Maybe it was because he never thought that Gu Yan would have anything to do with Tang Yuxiu, so he never paid attention to the details he overlooked.

However, with just a glance earlier, he saw how different Gu Yan was with him compared to Tang Yuxiu.

To outsiders, Tang Yuxiu was unattainable, unapproachable, and made people dare not come close, especially women.

It’s said that Young Master Tang has a severe cleanliness obsession and dislikes others coming closer than three steps, especially women, even indifferent when they stand naked before him, only more disgusted by their approach.

Yet Gu Yan dared to show him displeasure, and Tang Yuxiu didn’t have the same aversion to her, even close contact seemed natural, as if it was nothing.

For Tang Yuxiu, it wasn’t that he was ill, but rather that he hadn’t met his destined one.

And Gu Yan was that destined one.

Qin Junnan recalled Gu Yan’s cautious politeness when interacting with him, entirely lacking the unfiltered genuineness she displayed in front of Tang Yuxiu, which left him feeling powerless and defeated.

Could it be that after five years, before he even formally started pursuing her, it was already over?

Truly, it made him rather unwilling.

Gu Yan didn’t know anything yet.

He wasn’t that noble to simply hide his true feelings when seeing her with another man.

Moreover, Tang Yuxiu still had an impending engagement, a decision already made by the Tang Family and Nie Family, allowing no room for opposition or refusal from Tang Yuxiu. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

If he really wanted to be with Gu Yan, the first thing to solve would be this issue.

He was truly curious if someone as cold as Tang Yuxiu would defy his family for a woman, even at the risk of being expelled from the Tang Family and leaving the Tang Family with nothing.

If he really did this, he would show greatness for once, completely give up on Gu Yan, stop thinking about pursuing her and having her, unwillingness be damned.

Because honestly, he might not be capable of going that far.

But if Tang Yuxiu failed, separated from Gu Yan or hurt her, he wouldn’t remain a bystander; even knowing Gu Yan didn’t have feelings for him, he would express his intentions and stay by her side.

After deep consideration, Qin Junnan raised his hand to check his wristwatch; it was nearly time to meet a client.

He turned and walked into the restaurant.

Inside the black Bugatti, the atmosphere was somewhat heavy, and the two of them remained silent.

Until the ringing of Gu Yan’s phone broke the silence in the car.

"Gu Yan, where are you? I’m here."

It was Xue Xianglan calling; she had searched the restaurant but couldn’t find Gu Yan, so she stood outside to call her.

Upon hearing her voice, Gu Yan remembered she had arranged to eat with Xue Xianglan later.

She felt a bit annoyed; earlier, after what Tang Yuxiu said, she just got into the car with him and forgot all about it.

Well, her mood had been awful since a while ago, so she wasn’t quite bothered by this.

"Xianglan, sorry, I can’t come for dinner, something urgent came up."

"Huh?" Xue Xianglan was depressed, "What could be so urgent that you can’t even spare time for a meal?"

Gu Yan paused for a moment and replied, "Anyway, I can’t make it, sorry, how about I treat you next time?"

"Oh, never mind, go ahead if you have things to do, it’s just a meal, we can eat together next time."

"Yeah, thanks for understanding me."

"Of course, we’re best friends for a reason."

Gu Yan smiled, "Alright, I won’t keep you, let’s catch up later."

"Okay, bye-bye."

Gu Yan hung up the phone, put away her mobile, and turned to watch the retreating scenery outside the car window, plunging the cabin into silence once more.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuxiu glanced at her through the rearview mirror, feeling a bit relieved.

It turned out she had arranged to eat with Xue Xianglan there, luckily he was smart and learned from previous mistakes, not jumping to conclusions about any unspeakable secret between her and Qin Junnan, meeting him secretly, or else it would only have worsened their situation and damaged their relationship further.

Still, it irked him, how could he always run into Qin Junnan by coincidence!

Thinking about this, Tang Yuxiu bottled up his anger with no outlet, so he pressed the accelerator hard, the car suddenly accelerated, causing Gu Yan to lurch forward.

Fortunately, there was a seatbelt, or else I would have crashed into the front glass.

Tang Yuxiu went crazy again for no reason.

Returning to the villa, Gu Yan opened the door herself, didn’t wait for Tang Yuxiu, and went upstairs on her own, clearly not wanting to talk to him.

Tang Yuxiu entered, searched the living room, kitchen, and piano room but didn’t see Gu Yan, helplessly, he had to go upstairs to find her.

But after going upstairs, he found that Gu Yan had already taken her clothes into the bathroom for a shower.

So Young Master Tang sat on the bed and waited.

Gu Yan took half an hour in the shower, coming out with a towel in her hand, drying her hair.

Seeing this, Young Master Tang quickly took out a hairdryer, plugged it in, waiting for Gu Yan to come over so he could dry her hair.

But Gu Yan didn’t even glance at him, roughly dried her hair with the towel a few more times, then casually tossed it onto the bed, leaving the bedroom to go downstairs by herself.

Young Master Tang, "..."

He’s such a big person, don’t deliberately ignore him so obviously, okay?

Tang Yuxiu had no choice, he put the hairdryer away, and seeing the towel quietly lying on the bed, his OCD-like cleanliness forced him to tidy the towel before going downstairs.

Gu Yan wasn’t in the living room or the kitchen, so Tang Yuxiu headed towards the piano room.

Faint piano sounds came from the doorway.

After Tang Yuxiu decided to transform this room into a piano room, he had it soundproofed anew, so at the entrance, you could only faintly hear the piano inside.

He pushed the door open, and sure enough, saw Gu Yan sitting at the piano, pressing the keys with one hand.

The night outside was like water, the light inside was soft, but all focused in harmony on the figure at the piano.

She had just washed her hair, hadn’t dried it, it was still wet, with water occasionally dripping from the ends.

She seemed very agitated, her movements initially slow became increasingly rapid, then she frustratingly stopped.

She was probably thinking about how even the piano couldn’t calm her heart.

He walked in, stopping three steps behind her, at this moment, he instinctively did not dare to get too close to her.

Tang Yuxiu couldn’t help but mock himself, since when did he start to have fears too, getting more cautious and less like his former self.

Gu Yan knew Tang Yuxiu had entered but she didn’t turn or speak.

Knowing clearly she might become a joke, and still taking the initiative, either she’s cheap or she’s a fool.

The two remained silent for a long time; Tang Yuxiu knew he was wrong in this matter, no matter how big his temper, he had to hold it in.

"Gu Yan." He spoke first.

Gu Yan didn’t respond, didn’t turn, just looked down at the black and white keys on the piano.

Tang Yuxiu paused, then continued, "About today’s matter, I hope you don’t believe it. It’s impossible for me to have anything with Nie Rong, whether before or after being with you. As for that report, I don’t know what’s going on, but I will find out."

Find out? Gu Yan sneered.

"How will you find out? The facts are right in front of you, what is there to find out?"

Pretending? Or wait a few days to tell her it’s just a misunderstanding, trying to fool her with such words?

"I don’t believe this is the truth, there must be another reason."

Someone must be plotting against him.

Tang Yuxiu’s eyes narrowed dangerously, someone daring to scheme against him so quietly, he wouldn’t let them go!

"What could be the reason? Didn’t you spend that night with Nie Rong? Didn’t anything happen between you two?"

Gu Yan’s questioning left Tang Yuxiu momentarily speechless.

What she said was fact, he indeed couldn’t deny it, and that morning the red mark he saw, he has never known how to explain, this is also why he remained silent, because on this point, he always felt guilty towards Gu Yan.

No matter how he insisted nothing happened with Nie Rong, but that red mark was an undeniable presence.

The silent Tang Yuxiu behind her felt like a dagger stabbing Gu Yan’s heart.

Sure enough, when it came to this issue, he still couldn’t rebut, because it’s a fact, so he had nothing to say.

She self-deprecatingly said, "Since this is a fact, what’s left to say, calculating the time, Nie Rong must have conceived the child then, are you going to deny even your own child? Tang Yuxiu, don’t make me think you’re unqualified as a man."

Tang Yuxiu said in a low tone, "Gu Yan, don’t draw conclusions like this. I know what I have done. There are doubts in this matter that I haven’t resolved, but when I do, I’ll give you an explanation."

"I don’t think it’s necessary anymore. I believe what I see and know. Can’t you just admit it straightforwardly? Stop covering up like a woman, don’t even have the courage to admit."

"Why should I admit to something I haven’t done!"

Haven’t done?

Gu Yan suddenly got up, her angry eyes staring straight at him, "Tang Yuxiu, how dare you say you haven’t done it? If you haven’t done it, why didn’t you answer just now? The facts prove you are no different from those scumbags, do you think all women have to revolve around you? Is every woman who shares a bed with you denied in the blink of an eye in front of others? I must be just a mere speck among your many conquests! Tang Yuxiu, don’t think too highly of yourself."
