Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C203
Chapter 203 – Old Earth
Tao Chu Liang slept soundly. Today, at the press conference, he had finally quietened down this storm, and the pressure that had been weighing down on him for the past few days had been reduced by a lot. In his dreams, Xiang Chen Xi looked at her with a smile as if he smelled his familiar smell. It seemed that this man that looked like an iceberg would only smile in front of her.
The warm morning sun shone onto Tao Chu Liang’s face. She opened her eyes and saw a familiar room. This room had a lot of memories with Chen Xi, but right now, he was the only person in the huge room. She sat up and looked at the somewhat empty room. All she felt was emptiness.
When she reached the bedroom door, the white envelope on the floor caught her attention. She felt her heart suddenly thumping hard. Was it Chen Xi?
Tao Chu Liang quickly walked to the door and picked up the letter from the ground. On the envelope were the familiar words: Chu Liang. Tao Chu Liang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She ran around the whole villa while calling Xiang Chen Xi’s name.
However, even after searching the entire villa, both the inside and outside, she still could not find any trace of Xiang Chen Xi.
Sitting on the sofa in a daze, Tao Chu Liang opened the envelope in his hand. Seeing the familiar handwriting on the letter, the hand Tao Chu Liang used to hold the letter slightly trembled.
The first sentence was “Chu Liang, I’m sorry”, but the moment I saw the first line of Tao Chu Liang’s tears, I couldn’t stop flowing.
The letter said: “I know you must have had a hard time bearing these few days. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Xiang Group and Grandfather. You really changed. In the past, whatever happened to you, you would always hide in my embrace. But now, you can take charge of yourself and do things that I can’t even do. ”
“I can’t explain anything to you. The thing between Li Li and I is already the truth, I don’t know how to face you. Even if you forgive me, maybe we won’t be able to go back in time.” When Tao Chu Liang saw this, tears poured out of her eyes like a dam that had burst. Hearing him admit it himself, although she was already prepared, her heart still ached suddenly.
“But from beginning to end, I only love you. I don’t know how many times the Lord has made fun of us! I’m going to be gone for a while. Maybe, we should all think about how to face it … Take care of yourself, don’t come looking for me. ” The final signature was Chen Xi.
Tao Chu Liang bit his lips to prevent himself from crying out. What was this? He left just like that? Was that his explanation?
Tao Chu Liang asked himself if he was paying attention to the matter between him and Li Li. Even though he was very uncomfortable in his heart, Tao Chu Liang still hoped very much that he would stand in front of his right now. He would tell him that if it didn’t matter, it would all be over. Xiang Chen Xi, you bastard, you are leaving just like that, how can you be so heartless?
Moreover, he had only left behind a handwritten letter. He hadn’t even given her the chance to look for him!
Just as Tao Chu Liang was reading this letter, Chen Shu who was at home also received a message from Xiang Chen Xi.
“Sis, I’ll be going. Grandfather will leave it to you and Sheng Jue to take care of Chu Liang for me. “Don’t send for me.”
After Chen Shu finished reading the message, she scolded angrily, “Xiang Chen Xi! “You bastard!” Then, as if she thought of something, Chen Shu immediately dialed back on the number. However, the number on the other end of the phone indicated that it was empty. Chen Shu was so angry that she stomped her feet. When would this Xiang Chen Xi save him time?
Xiang Chen Xi did not go too far, he went to the New Moon Village. There were many memories of himself and Chu Liang there. Perhaps there, his life would not be so difficult. Furthermore, Xiang Chen Xi was not trying to escape from everything. He knew that Chu Liang was working hard right now, so he decided that he had to do a few more things for the company.
Only his assistant knew that Xiang Chen Xi brought an assistant to New Moon Village to investigate the situation there. The assistant could also help him get the money from the company, and wouldn’t reveal his whereabouts.
The change in New Moon Village was just too huge! The government has invested heavily in the development of tourism here and has now formed a special tourism industry. Many farmers have converted their buildings into inns for tourists. This place had mountains and rivers; it was indeed a good place to relax one’s body and mind. A new amusement park has also been built to meet the many needs of tourists.
Xiang Chen Xi did not go to Chu Liang’s foster parents’ house, but went straight to the Dye Garden. It had to be said that Zhao Jing was really talented. He had taken care of the Dye Garden well. The plants in the base had already grown into a single piece. The colorful blooming flowers made it seem as if one was in a sea of flowers.
Xiang Chen Xi looked at this sea of beautiful flowers and suddenly missed Chu Liang so much. He really wanted to share everything here with her. If it were not for Chu Liang, he would not have set up such a project from such a far distance.
The assistant had informed Zhao Jing before she came, so the moment Zhao Jing received the news, she dropped what she was doing and rushed over. However, when she saw Xiang Chen Xi coming over alone, he couldn’t help but feel strange.
“Mr. Xiang, Xiao Yu, didn’t Miss Tao come with you?” Zhao Jing looked behind Xiang Chen Xi.
Xiang Chen Xi was at a loss for words for a moment, and then said in a low voice: “We will temporarily separate, she still doesn’t know about the news of me coming here. Oh right, don’t tell anyone that I came to New Moon Village. During this time, I will be staying at the base. ”
Although Zhao Jing didn’t really understand why Xiang Chen Xi wanted to do this, he still nodded her head obediently. After arranging Xiang Chen Xi’s residence, Zhao Jing left to busy herself with her own things.
Xiang Chen Xi said to the assistant: “During this time, let’s study the base’s dye. “Also, find me some jewelry design books.”
Xiang Chen Xi had already decided that he would start learning jewelry design again. The last time Chu Liang designed this ring, it had shocked him greatly, and now the Taur Group had merged with it. Xiang Chen Xi wanted to create a brand of jewelry for Tao Chu Liang. Chu Liang liked designing jewelry, and in the future, he would set up a jewelry company and give it to Chu Liang as his name.
Therefore, Xiang Chen Xi stayed at the Dye Garden. During this period, he would discuss with Zhao Jing about how to grow harmless plants everyday. If there were technical problems, he would go to the field to investigate them. He thought that a young master like Xiang Chen Xi would definitely not be willing to do all this dirty work.
When he was free, Xiang Chen Xi would carefully read the jewelry design books. In his room, the table was covered with design drawings. Every time he drew these, he could not help but think of Chu Liang.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. The news of Tao Chu Liang and his marriage had dissolved the previous public relations crisis. Furthermore, Tao Chu Liang had planned three large-scale marketing events during this period, allowing the products of the Xiang Group to take over the market once again. Furthermore, Tao Chu Liang had always been an enthusiastic public servant, giving the Xiang Group a good reputation. Thus, this public relations crisis had been safely overcome.
Li Li could only let the situation return to normal, because she couldn’t personally tell others that she was the one who provided the photos, and she couldn’t confess that the person in the photos was indeed her. This way, the Leap Group’s image would also be tarnished. Moreover, she could only agree that this matter was deliberately manipulated by someone.
She did not expect that not only did Tao Chu Liang not hate Xiang Chen Xi, he had even helped him resolve the company’s difficulties. However, she had not heard any news of Xiang Chen Xi recently, so she could not help but feel curious, as to whether the news of their marriage was real or fake.
But in any case, he had plenty of opportunities before they were married.
On this day, Li Li sat in Leap Group’s office with a person standing in front of her. If Tao Chu Liang was here, he would have definitely recognized that this person was one of the project leaders of the electronic products in the Xiang Group, mainly in charge of the mobile phones.
Li Li sat on the swivel chair, turned and looked at him, then smiled: “You can begin to do the things that I’ve told you. Don’t worry about it, do it boldly, but remember to clean your hands and feet. If you follow me, I will pay you twice the salary in Xiang Group! ”
He had been in the Xiang Group for five years, and the treatment given to him by the group wasn’t bad. But at this moment, an even greater temptation was placed in front of him. He silently nodded his head, turned around, and left Li Li’s office. When he left Leap Group’s building, he pulled his coat tighter and lowered his peaked cap.
At this moment, Tao Chu Liang was in Xiang Shi Yun’s villa, and Sheng Jue and Chen Shu were there as well. She said that he would come visit Xiang Shi Yun every week, and it had already become a habit of hers.
Xiang Shi Yun’s complexion had turned better, but she was still unconscious. If it was like this for the rest of his life, she would be no different from a vegetable. Although Chen Shu felt very sad, she had still managed to preserve his life. She could only keep on asking around abroad and invite even better doctors to come.
Now that the Xiang Group’s crisis had been lifted, the various projects had begun to operate once more. Sheng Jue and Chen Shu accompanied Chu Liang on a walk in the villa’s garden.
“Sheng Jue, can you tell me what exactly happened that night? Why would Chen Xi and Li Li … ” Although his heart was in pain, Tao Chu Liang still wanted to know what was going on.
Sheng Jue’s expression was somewhat worried, and said in a low voice: “Chu Liang, first of all, you must know that this matter was definitely not of Chen Xi’s free will. That night, with so many people present, Li Li openly asked Chen Xi to accompany her to cut the cake for her and even toasted for her.
“Yeah, Chu Liang, do you know how pathetic he looked when Chen Xi came to find us the next day? He only said that he drank the wine Li Li passed to him … ” Chen Shu recalled the scene from that day.
“That’s right!” The glass of champagne! Li Li must have placed something inside! ” Sheng Jue said after pausing for a while.
Tao Chu Liang suddenly stopped in his tracks. This meant that Chen Xi had been tricked by Li Li!
