War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 265: The Future Has Me

Xue Family Villa.

"Ah ah ah! Sis, big sis! Xue Xianglan, come down quickly!"

Xue Jiarui’s roar echoed throughout the villa, startling the servants.

Xue Xianglan appeared at the top of the stairs, her hair disheveled, frowning displeased at Xue Jiarui downstairs, "What are you yelling about so early in the morning, disturbing my peaceful dreams!"

She only went to sleep at midnight last night and was still deep in slumber. This Xue Jiarui never does anything good.

"I’m telling you, there’s big news. You’ll regret it if you don’t listen."

"What big news?"

Xue Jiarui waved the newspaper in his hand, then opened a page and showed it to her, saying: "Gu Yan, the headline on here is about Gu Yan! Come and see!"

Xue Xianglan, who was drowsy, froze upon hearing Gu Yan’s name and instantly woke up, rushing downstairs quickly, "Gu Yan? What’s going on?"

Xue Jiarui handed her the newspaper, "See for yourself."

Xue Xianglan stared at the newspaper, the print was strikingly bold, "Tang Group’s President caught kissing a mysterious woman in the rain."

In the photo below, others might only recognize President Tang, but they knew that woman, it was clearly Gu Yan!

"She’s back?"

"She must be back. This was a photo taken by reporters yesterday and made today’s headline. It seems Young Master Tang has brought her back."

Xue Xianglan suddenly tossed the newspaper back to Xue Jiarui and rushed upstairs to change and freshen up.

In less than ten minutes, she came down again, bag in hand, in a hurry.

"Big sis, where are you going?"

"To Tang Yuxiu’s company, going directly to find them!"

"I’m coming too!" Xue Jiarui hurried to follow. He couldn’t miss out on such an event.

Outside Xue Family Villa, a supercar sped away.

...

In the garden in the early morning, with the fresh scent of flowers, it had rained heavily last night, so the air also held a hint of earthiness.

"Young Master, here’s today’s newspaper." The butler approached, respectfully handing the newspaper to the man lazily sitting in front of him.

The man, with his long, distinct fingers, took the newspaper, casually opening it and briefly scanning its content, before his gaze settled on today’s headline, specifically, on that photograph.

The man’s eyes subtly shifted as he carefully read the report.

"Tang Group’s President..." The man’s voice seemed somewhat ethereal and unclear.

After a prolonged silence, the man asked the butler behind him, "Old Fu, do you remember the photo we saw last time in grandfather’s study?"

The butler replied, "I remember. The woman in the photo has a few similarities to the woman in this newspaper photo."

"That’s it, then. Grandfather sent us to Jiang City to find her, and while I thought it would take some time, she appeared so quickly."

"Young Master, what should we do? Should we bring the lady back?"

"No hurry for now. She’s with Tang Group’s President, and grandfather wants us to bring her back and deal with the Tang Group. It’s truly a complicated relationship. Let me ask grandfather for specific reasons first. I won’t do anything unclear."

The man’s slender fingers tapped on the table, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The butler looked at the newspaper on the table with the photograph and sighed quietly.

The master had instructed that no one should mention that matter. Whether the Young Master could get an answer from the master remained uncertain. This was a taboo within the family, and even if he knew the reason, he had to pretend not to.

...

Tang Group.

The entrance was crowded with reporters, but none dared to get too close to Tang Group’s premises or act rashly. The security guards stood by the entrance, unable to chase them away.

Then, several men in black suits came out from the company, looking serious, carrying an LCD TV, and placed it at the entrance.

The crowd watched in confusion.

Assistant You walked out, glanced at the circle of reporters, and calmly stood at the entrance, waiting for President Tang’s arrival, with a row of black-suited men standing by to welcome President Tang.

Oh, and his woman!

Just as these thoughts crossed their minds, a black Bugatti drove up, braking at the entrance.

This screech seemed deliberate, loud and piercing, drawing the attention of the chattering reporters.

Well, even before Young Master Tang made an appearance, his car had already attracted everyone’s attention.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized the owner of the car.

"It’s President Tang’s car, President Tang is here!" someone shouted, causing the reporters to freeze for a moment before rushing toward the car.

You Shuyang signaled to the men in black behind him, and the group quickly moved toward the Bugatti, solemnly and coldly keeping all eager reporters at bay.

The camera flashes kept going off, and the reporters could hardly contain themselves, beginning to speak and ask questions.

"President Tang, what’s your take on the photo and content in today’s paper?"

"President Tang, did you break off the engagement with the Nie Family just for the woman in the newspaper?"

"President Tang, will you please step out and comment?"

...

Reporters from each press company were firing questions continuously, but the black Bugatti remained motionless.

Gu Yan sat in the car looking at that terrifying crowd outside, the continuous flashing of cameras made her eyes hurt.

"What’s going on?" Gu Yan was stunned. He didn’t mention there would be so many reporters here.

Tang Yuxiu glanced outside the car indifferently and took out today’s morning paper for Gu Yan, "Take a look and you’ll know."

Gu Yan took it, looked down, and was instantly stunned again, "This... this is from yesterday... someone captured us on camera!"

"Yes."

Gu Yan frowned, "Why didn’t you show me earlier? And you even let me come to work at the company. What do we do now? If they find out I’m in your car, who knows what they’ll write. If I had known, I would’ve gotten off 200 meters away!"

Gu Yan was very anxious inside, but Tang Yuxiu remained very calm.

Gu Yan glared at him, "Why don’t you have any reaction? We’ve been exposed."

"So what?" Tang Yuxiu’s deep black eyes fixed on her, "Gu Yan, I intentionally brought you here."

Gu Yan was taken aback, "Why?"

"Gu Yan, my father has already agreed to our relationship, and there’s no one else to obstruct us. What are you still worried about? Being exposed is good, I can use this opportunity to let everyone know you are mine."

Gu Yan was stunned, unable to respond for a moment.

Tang Yuxiu’s words gave her quite a shock.

"Have you thought this through? Once you appear in public with me, there’s no turning back."

At this moment, Gu Yan suddenly calmed down, her mind becoming clear.

Tang Yuxiu is the President of Tang Group, a public figure, the leader of a company. His every word and action are often significant; once something happens, it will be exposed to the public.

Once he brings her out and announces something, it will be seen and remembered by everyone, and all TV channel news reports will cover this matter. If he changes his mind or wants to back out later, it will be a huge risk!

The company and he himself will face various criticisms.

If the company’s leader is untrustworthy or betrays commitments, people may doubt if the whole company is the same.

Gu Yan looked seriously into Tang Yuxiu’s eyes.

Tang Yuxiu said, "Why would I regret it?"

"You..."

"Yanyan, don’t worry. Face it with me; with me in the future, you won’t be alone anymore."

Tang Yuxiu held Gu Yan’s hand, "Yanyan, come down with me. I want to give you a rightful title. I want to let you appear in front of everyone. I want you to never worry about being discovered and causing trouble for me. In the future, we’ll be openly together."

Gu Yan was deeply moved, and Tang Yuxiu’s words also gave her courage.

She nodded lightly, "Okay."

The door of the Bugatti was opened, and Tang Yuxiu appeared in everyone’s view, the camera flashes intensified, and the photographers didn’t mind their hands getting sore, snapping away without a second pause.

"President Tang..."

Tang Yuxiu ignored their questions, walked toward the passenger seat, personally opened the door, and extended his hand.

Gu Yan looked up at Tang Yuxiu’s eyes, smiled slightly, and handed her hand to him.

A moment ago, everyone was shocked at President Tang personally opening the car door; the next moment, they were surprised by the woman stepping out from the passenger seat of President Tang’s car.

In the past, President Tang never did such things, and there were rarely women in his car, even if there were, they sat in the back seat, never the front seat.

Oh no, even men rarely sat there.

This woman, who could sit in the front passenger seat of President Tang’s car and be held by him personally when getting out, truly had significant news value.

"President Tang, is this lady the one from the newspaper?"

"President Tang, you are famously known for being a clean freak, never letting anyone close, especially avoiding women. Why let this lady close this time, even in your beloved car’s front passenger seat?"

"President Tang,..."

Various questions came one after another.

Gu Yan felt very uncomfortable with such a scene, but Tang Yuxiu tightly held her hand.

Gu Yan gradually calmed down.

No need to be afraid; no matter what happens, the man beside her will solve it. She just needs to stand by his side and face these reporters with him.

He had said everything would be handled by him.

Tang Yuxiu always disregarded these reporters, but today was an exception.

He made an exception to tolerate these persistent and tricky reporters once.

"Everyone." Tang Yuxiu spoke, and the reporters suddenly quieted down.

To make these persistent, relentless reporters stop suddenly, Young Master Tang was probably the first.

"Everyone take a good look. The person by my side is indeed the one from the newspaper, and she will be my wife, the mistress of Tang family in the future."

As Tang Yuxiu made this announcement, You Shuyang turned on the LCD TV that had been brought out, displaying the scene where Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan were surrounded by the reporters.
