War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 270: If I Were You

Good break up, good separation...

Tang Mubei thought, how could he manage a good break up, good separation?

Some people, once you meet them, become indispensable in your life. Once you lose them, how does it differ from becoming a walking corpse?

"Ye Zi, don’t be so cruel to me..." Tang Mubei’s voice was low and subdued.

In Qiu Ye’s impression, he was such a strong person. This kind of bitter endurance of pain, she rarely saw.

Her heart was also aching, but she had to harden her resolve.

"I’m sorry, Tang Mubei, I hope we never meet again. Don’t come and disrupt my life. I want to make it a bit easier for myself."

Long pain is worse than short pain. Today, let’s end it completely.

Qiu Ye turned around limping towards her car, opened the door and got in, started the car, and drove past Tang Mubei without a second glance. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Tang Mubei’s hand beside him lifted weakly, then fell weakly again.

Finally, it had come to this day...

He couldn’t bear to let her go, but he couldn’t bear even more to let her live in pain and guilt.

Standing from her perspective, he would definitely be more ruthless than she was!

What she did, how could it count for anything?

Tang Mubei stood at his spot, a bitter smile on his face, as if the heavens turned dark, echoing his sorrow.

Gu Yan watched the side profile of the woman driving away, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn’t recall who, so he stopped thinking about it, looking at Tang Mubei standing there shrouded in a layer of sadness, he nudged Tang Yuxiu next to him.

"Should we still give him the meal?"

In this state, it seems like he couldn’t eat at all?

Tang Yuxiu glanced over and decisively shook his head, "Let’s not."

Of course not!

He was initially against Gu Yan preparing food for Tang Mubei. Why should the food his woman cooked be given to other men, other women are not allowed either!

Yet Gu Yan insisted, claiming it’s his brother, and the food outside is not good, homemade is better, and demanded to bring it over.

Tang Yuxiu didn’t want to refuse Gu Yan’s kindness, reluctantly agreed.

Now it’s even better, with Tang Mubei’s terrible mood, he probably won’t feel like eating for days.

Gu Yan: Tang Yuxiu, where’s your brotherly love! That’s your own brother! Your own brother got hurt emotionally, yet this is what you’re thinking about!

Cold-blooded, heartless!

Gu Yan suddenly felt that Tang Mubei was even more pitiable, wanting to go up and comfort him, but now he probably didn’t want anyone to see him in that... desolate state.

Gu Yan sighed, saying, "Should we throw it away? It seems such a waste."

"Not a waste, save it for my midnight snack."

Gu Yan’s cooking is for him alone to enjoy.

"Alright."

"You head to the hospital first, there should be nobody in the ward, go see Dad, I’ll come up later."

Gu Yan looked up at him, "Is there something you need to do?"

"Nothing important, you go up first."

"Oh, alright then." Obediently, Gu Yan carried the food box towards the hospital, making sure to avoid Tang Mubei.

Men, after all, have a bit of pride. Even if hurt by love, their pride remains. It’s better not to appear now, not even in the corner of the eye.

Gu Yan walked some distance, turned to glance at Tang Yuxiu, but saw him stepping towards Tang Mubei.

Gu Yan smiled gently, so he did have brotherly love after all.

Men like them aren’t good at expressing emotions, be it love, friendship, or family affection.

But being not good at expressing doesn’t mean they’re cold-blooded and heartless; they have their ways of dealing with all emotions.

In their world, feelings aren’t for show, they’re born from the heart.

In fact, once you enter their hearts, you’ll be happier than anyone, experiencing unprecedented satisfaction.

Because they will only sincerely and wholeheartedly treat you, and you alone!

Gu Yan smiled slightly, turned, and walked into the hospital.

Not far away, in a black business car, a man sat with his long legs crossed, deeply gazing at Gu Yan who disappeared into the hospital lobby. His long fingers lightly tapped his knee, eyes inscrutable.

"Young master, what are your plans next?" The butler quietly asked the man before him.

"Since she’s a member of my Yan Family, she should return to the Yan Family," the man’s voice seemed casual but carried an undeniable force.

The butler paused, then asked again, "How do you plan to do that, young master?"

The man curled his lips slightly, "Naturally bring her back, then make the Tang Family pay. My Yan Family members aren’t so easily bullied, let alone, it’s two lives. I feel I’ve been merciful enough, not demanding blood for blood."

The curve of the man’s lips grew increasingly sinister, a hint of bloodthirsty aura flickering in his eyes.

The butler suddenly felt a chill down his spine. In the eyes of others, their young master was kind and gentle, yet in his bones, he was strong and ruthless.

In his heart, besides family, other people’s lives were insignificant, not worth mentioning.

If not for the master demanding no lives-for-lives retribution for the Tang Family, the young master would have stirred another storm.

"Young master, when are you bringing the young lady back?"

"As soon as possible, of course. Every minute she stays with the Tang Family, I can’t bear it. More importantly, the longer she stays, the more painful it will be when the truth comes out. Why let that happen."

The man’s cruel smile softened when mentioning Gu Yan, the bloodlust in his eyes instantly vanishing.

"Old Fu, arrange it quickly. If she refuses to leave, tell her everything, with evidence."

"Yes, Young Master."

"Let’s go, have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow, Jiang City is likely to change, I’m quite looking forward to it." The man smirked, carelessly.

Old Fu glanced at the man’s expression and ordered the driver to drive.

Gu Yan walked into the hospital, only to feel a sudden chill down her spine. She turned around and looked everywhere but found nothing suspicious.

Perhaps she was just overthinking.

Gu Yan shook her head, took the elevator upstairs, and went to Old Sir Tang’s ward.

...

Downstairs, in the public parking lot outside the hospital.

Tang Yuxiu walked straight over to Tang Mubei, "Mu Bei, with your qualifications, you can find someone better."

Tang Mubei slightly raised his gaze and gave a self-mocking smile, "Big brother, even you can say such shallow words. With your qualifications, you can also find someone better, but you like Gu Yan, don’t you?"

In Tang Yuxiu’s eyes, no woman would ever be worth more than one-tenth of Gu Yan.

The same went for him.

In his eyes, there’s only Qiu Ye; no matter how good someone else is, he wouldn’t like them.

Tang Yuxiu nodded, "True, no one else can match up to the one you like, so why are you upset?"

"Big brother, if you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you hold on to her, with both sides torturing each other, or let go, and let both find relief?"

Tang Yuxiu fell silent, and after a while, he said, "I am not you."

Tang Mubei felt as if a dagger had pierced his heart. Why did he feel that Tang Yuxiu was boasting about how well he and Gu Yan were doing!

"I know you’re not me. I’m hypothesizing, if you were me, what would you do?"

Tang Yuxiu fell silent again, this time really pondering the question seriously.

"If I were you..." Tang Yuxiu paused.

Tang Mubei looked at him with slight anticipation, wanting to know his answer.

"But even if it’s hypothetical, I’m still not you, so I don’t know because I’ve never encountered such a situation."

Tang Mubei, "..."

What the hell, you can’t toy with people like this, Tang Yuxiu, it’s easy to lose me as a brother like this.

"Big brother, can you be a bit more serious?"

"Why should I be serious about this kind of issue with you? Are you cursing for Gu Yan and me to end up like you and Qiu Ye, so you can seek psychological balance?"

What the hell! What the hell!

Tang Mubei really wanted to punch his brother in that aggravating face.

Am I really that dark? Am I? Am I?

Can we still be happy brothers or not?

"Big brother, your narcissism skills have upgraded to a level I can’t comprehend your thinking anymore."

"Heh." Tang Yuxiu let out a contemptuous laugh, his expression seemed to say, ’How could you mere mortals understand my thoughts.’

Tang Mubei, "..." Can I just say I don’t know this person?

I don’t want to be brothers born of the same mother with him.

Such a decline in taste and intelligence.

Damn, so embarrassing.

Tang Mubei simply turned and left; immersed in the sorrow of losing Qiu Ye just moments ago, now tangled by Tang Yuxiu to the point he no longer knew what sadness was!

Tang Yuxiu watched Tang Mubei’s retreating figure with disdain in his heart, thinking if not for me, you’d still be wallowing in your autumnal melancholy. Aren’t you embarrassed?

Still daring to despise your big brother!

One must admit, the interaction mode between these two brothers... is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Oh, it’s quite normal for you mere mortals not to understand.

Tang Yuxiu glanced at the setting sun gradually disappearing on the horizon, thought of Tang Mubei’s hypothetical question.

For some reason, hearing Tang Mubei ask such a hypothetical question, he suddenly felt extremely repulsed in his heart, as if something might happen.

An uneasy feeling spread within him.

He thought, if he and Gu Yan became like Tang Mubei and Qiu Ye, then even if it was death, he would not let go!

Rather than being separated by the heavens, it’s better to keep by one’s side; mutual torment is better than life being worse than death.

He brushed away these unrealistic assumptions from his mind; how could he and Gu Yan be like Tang Mubei and Qiu Ye.

In the family, having one tragic person is sufficient, he would skip that.

He and Gu Yan were, indeed, doing great right now!

He told himself this.

Yet no matter how smart and sharp he was, he couldn’t foresee that he and Gu Yan...

This day came so quickly that both were caught off guard, like a bolt from the blue, suddenly shattering their entire world beyond recognition.

When the last streak of light disappeared beyond the horizon, Jiang City transformed into a sea of lights, magnificent and splendid.

After visiting Old Sir Tang, Tang Yuxiu and Gu Yan stayed for a while before leaving.

Once again leaving Tang Mubei alone to watch over him.

Gu Yan actually felt it was not very kind, but Tang Yuxiu was quite at ease with it.
