War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 261: Where is their future?

Gu Yan was secretly complaining, wondering if the information Lu Fusheng received was inaccurate, possibly due to Assistant You, You Shuyang, providing false information.

Then Gu Yan thought, how could You Shuyang, as an assistant, be so gossipy!

She definitely needed to have a good talk with Tang Yuxiu!

"Mr. Lu, I think the information you got is incorrect, you shouldn’t easily believe the gossip others casually tell you."

Huh? Lu Fusheng was slightly stunned, was this girl saying he was naïve or foolish, and got deceived by someone’s random words?

However, Gu Yan was innocent, she was simply giving a sincere reminder, without any ulterior motive.

Yet Lu Fusheng himself thought too much, and instead appreciated Gu Yan even more for being able to subtly mock him at their first meeting. As expected of Tang Yuxiu’s woman, they were truly a match made in heaven.

Was this an unintended consequence for Gu Yan? The last brother of Tang Yuxiu she had never met accepted her so easily...

Now Tang Yuxiu’s friends, brother, and even father had accepted her, she suddenly didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

Gu Yan blinked, and exchanged glances with Lu Fusheng.

Within just two seconds, Young Master Tang couldn’t stand it any longer, stepping into their line of sight and glaring coldly at Lu Fusheng, with clear threats in his eyes.

Lu Fusheng noticed, Young Master Tang’s eyes were clearly saying, "Keep looking and I’ll gouge your eyes out."

Wow, such jealousy, clearly Miss Gu was looking at him too, so why not threaten Miss Gu?

Obviously, Mr. Lu, you’re not female, nor are you the one Young Master Tang likes!

"Young Master Tang, don’t be so fierce, I wasn’t going to do anything to your Miss Gu, is just taking a glance a crime?"

"For you, looking is a crime!" Young Master Tang replied unceremoniously.

Lu Fusheng thought, "...Young Master Tang, you are obviously targeting me."

"You’re only realizing it now? Ha, you’ve become much dumber than before, I don’t even want to talk to you, you’re lowering my IQ."

Hey, Young Master Tang, you can say what you want, but don’t resort to personal attacks!

"I think those words should be my line, Young Master Tang, you’re so sharp-tongued, I really don’t know how Miss Gu can tolerate you."

Lu Fusheng said this and received Miss Gu’s absolute agreement.

Gu Yan nodded vigorously behind Tang Yuxiu’s back, indeed, indeed, Young Master Tang was too sharp-tongued, not sparing even the girls, often leaving her speechless, taking away any desire to talk.

Finally, someone thought the same way and bravely spoke out.

Gu Yan looked at Lu Fusheng, unyieldingly standing up to Young Master Tang, almost moved to the point of cheering on the side.

She had been oppressed by Young Master Tang for too long, regardless of feelings, no one could stop her from silently protesting for herself.

However, before her passion could fully ignite, a bucket of cold water was poured over her.

Because before Lu Fusheng waited for Tang Yuxiu to reply, he casually waved his hand, "Forget it, I’m done talking with you, I’ve been here long enough, haven’t adjusted to the time difference, haven’t slept, now I’m tired, I won’t accompany you anymore, I’m leaving."

Hey, what happened to the promised resistance? It seems it’s ending as soon as it started?

Ah, no more drama to watch.

At the same time, Tang Mubei, leisurely sitting on the sofa watching the drama, shared the same sentiment.

Before leaving, Lu Fusheng winked at Gu Yan, "Miss Gu, a friendly reminder, Tang Yuxiu’s temperament is strange, and he’s so sharp-tongued, be cautious in your choice, see you next time, bye."

Gu Yan dumbfoundedly waved at him, "Bye."

Lu Fusheng dashed away before Young Master Tang could get angry and act...

Gu Yan was still a bit taken aback, and the first thing she said when she composed herself was, "Do all of your friends love and hate each other like this?"

In their interactions, each was more sharp-tongued than the last, each enjoying watching the others in awkward situations, endlessly gossipy.

This mode of interaction was truly... bizarre.

However, their friendship was more solid and long-lasting than many others.

Honestly, Gu Yan really envied them.

She had grown up with only Xue Xianglan as a good friend.

She thought about it and figured she should now add a girl named Qiu Ye to that list.

She mentioned back then that she was from Jiang City too, and Gu Yan thought she would never return to Jiang City in her lifetime, never expecting to run into her again. But now that she was back, it was a good opportunity, she wanted to see her again in the future when time allows.

Tang Yuxiu chose to remain silent in response to Gu Yan’s question, and Tang Mubei had no intention of saying anything more on the topic either.

No one was willing to admit it, who the hell loved whom!

Gu Yan inexplicably found it somewhat amusing.

Tang Yuxiu placed the bag he was holding on the table in the middle of the sofa, "Brought you takeout, eat."

Young Master Tang was so straightforward and decisive.

Second Young Master Tang silently glanced at the takeout bag on the table and sighed quietly. The words of his elder brother still influenced him subconsciously.

He quietly opened the bag, took out the meal box, and thought to himself that his older brother’s influence on him during their childhood was quite significant.

The aroma of the food wafted through the air. Although earlier, Second Young Master Tang had no appetite and couldn’t eat much, now he felt a bit hungry.

So, Second Young Master Tang proactively picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Tang Yuxiu sat down on the sofa on the other side with Gu Yan and said to Tang Mubei, "You’ll keep watch tonight. I’ll take Gu Yan back to the villa to rest. She’s been traveling for three days and is very tired."

Tang Mubei nodded lightly but secretly complained in his heart that this was a typical case of prioritizing a wife over a brother, and even over a father!

Previously, no one could persuade him to eat, sleep, or rest, and now that Gu Yan appeared, Young Master Tang decided everything on his own.

This is the difference between women and men.

In truth, Second Young Master Tang felt a sense of sorrow, realizing that as his biological brother, he was of little use.

At this point, Gu Yan, being very understanding, said, "Why don’t you both go rest, and I’ll keep watch tonight?"

Tang Mubei paused his action of picking up food, looked up at Gu Yan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Tang Yuxiu frowned slightly, "What nonsense, you haven’t rested well in three days, you are not allowed to keep watch tonight. We’ll wait until you’ve had a proper rest."

"But you both have rested even less than I have, don’t worry, I can handle it."

Before Tang Yuxiu could respond, Tang Mubei uncharacteristically interrupted, stating, "Sister-in-law, I think it’s not necessary. Big brother kept watch last night, and I had a full night of rest. Tonight, I’ve still got energy. Sister-in-law and big brother should go back."

However, neither Gu Yan nor Tang Yuxiu paid attention to what Tang Mubei said; they just heard the "sister-in-law" from Tang Mubei.

Tang Yuxiu and Tang Mubei exchanged glances, with Tang Yuxiu’s eyes expressing, "As expected of my brother, you’re really spot on."

Tang Mubei’s eyes conveyed, "I’m pleased with this sister-in-law, as a brother, I’m giving you a god-send assist."

Gu Yan was stunned; she never thought Tang Mubei would suddenly call her "sister-in-law"!

Though she clearly understood that Tang Mubei acknowledged her as his brother’s girlfriend, she never expected Tang Mubei would call her sister-in-law, at least not before she officially married Tang Yuxiu. She assumed that someone as aloof as Tang Mubei wouldn’t say it, but this sudden "sister-in-law" caught her completely by surprise, filling her heart with emotions.

Gu Yan was in a daze, and it took her quite a while to regain her composure and quickly cover up her loss of composure.

Tang Mubei continued eating as if calling her "sister-in-law" was the most ordinary address.

Yet it was precisely this natural demeanor that touched Gu Yan deeply.

Nothing made her happier than being so accepted by Tang Yuxiu’s family.

Tang Yuxiu said, "Let Mubei keep watch tonight; we’ll discuss everything else tomorrow."

Gu Yan glanced at Tang Mubei, then back at Tang Yuxiu, and nodded, "Okay."

She had to acknowledge Tang Mubei’s goodwill.

While Tang Mubei ate, Tang Yuxiu leaned back on the sofa, resting his eyes, and Gu Yan, with nothing to do, turned to look at the comatose Old Sir Tang lying on the hospital bed.

She stared blankly at the old chairman who once energetically came looking for her, now lying in a hospital bed. Life is indeed unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.

Just like when she thought she and Tang Yuxiu had ended and there would be no future, he defied all odds to come back to her side, holding her hand and walking together towards a brighter future.

She seemed to vaguely see a beautiful future ahead of them.

In life, until the very last moment, you never know what the result will be.

Gu Yan thought that she and Tang Yuxiu were settled, and from now on, they could just live a simple, peaceful life.

At that moment, Gu Yan didn’t expect that the happiness she yearned for wouldn’t last long. A sudden bolt out of the blue shattered all her hopes completely.

Once again, she felt the world crumbling in an instant, everything falling apart.

That was something that happened later; at this moment, Gu Yan felt so blissful and content.

Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan stayed at the hospital until past nine before leaving.

Tang Mubei watched their departing figures, and his eyes suddenly dimmed.

He thought of Qiu Ye.

Because of his father’s situation, he had been in the hospital all this time and hadn’t gone to see her. He didn’t know what she was doing right now. Rumor had it there was another homicide case in the north of the city; she should be investigating it.

When he first learned about the grievances between his father and Qiu Ye’s father, he silently resented his father for the past occurrences, and now the retribution had fallen on him and Qiu Ye.

But now that his father was really lying in bed, he couldn’t bring himself to resent at all.

Ultimately, they are blood-bound father and son, and he never thought things would turn out this way.

Perhaps it’s just karma...

He wished to grow old with Qiu Ye, but there was too much bitterness in the way.

Tang Mubei got up and walked to the window to look outside. He saw Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan appearing in his line of sight, hand in hand, walking towards Tang Yuxiu’s Bugatti, seemingly moving towards their future.

So, what about his and Qiu Ye’s future? Where is it?
