Young Master Xiang, Leave Me Alone - C75
Chapter 75 – Final linkages
“Uncle is not an outsider, with the help of his family, I have to take over matters at the company a little faster.” Tao Jian Xin pushed the coffee in front of Tao Chu Liang, and looked at her with anticipation.
Inside the seemingly gentle expression was concealed a scheming and greed that Tao Chu Liang, who had been played around with, had never realized before.
Tao Chu Liang’s heart trembled.
It is you, my own family, who frightens me the most!
Although she was disgusted, she had to try her best to maintain a smile on her face.
Tao Chu Liang picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. He frowned.
“Thank you for your kind intentions, Uncle. However, I have just come into contact with the affairs of the company, so it is inevitable that I will be unable to do so. “In a few days, if I still can’t get back on my feet, I’ll have to trouble uncle to help me.”
When Tao Jian Xin heard this, he took advantage of his good intuition and laughed, then patted Tao Chu Liang’s shoulder.
“Child, what are you saying to a family? Uncle will help you, isn’t that perfectly justified? Do you have anything to thank me for?!”
Tao Chu Liang did not speak, he only smiled at Tao Jian Xin even more deeply.
“Chu Liang, don’t think too highly of Uncle and me. If there’s any problems, feel free to come and find Uncle, I can help share some of it with you.” Tao Jian Xin thought that he had to stop there, but he couldn’t be too hasty. He didn’t want Tao Chu Liang to see through anything, so he didn’t say anything more.
“Alright uncle, I’ll have to trouble you with the company’s matters. I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”
“Of course. Hmm, then I’ll go back to my work.”
Tao Chu Liang patiently watched the old cunning fox walk out the door, then threw his coffee cup into the trash can. He couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Ding Ling Ling”, “Ding Ling Ling”…
A phone call that suddenly rang interrupted Tao Chu Liang’s train of thoughts, she pinched the space between his eyebrows with one hand and picked up the receiver with the other.
“Hello.”
“Chu Liang, how is it, being the CEO on the first day, are you used to it?” Qiao Qing Hao asked with concern.
“En, not bad. It’s just that I didn’t think that I would have to deal with so many documents. The workload is quite large. I will slowly get used to it.” Tao Chu Liang looked at the pile of documents and took a deep breath, “Okay, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I still have a lot of things to take care of.”
“Chu Liang, wait a moment, I’ll wait for you for dinner tonight. Treat it as a small celebration, okay?”
“No, no need to wait for me. I might return a bit later. Besides, I’m really not in the mood. I’m sorry.”
Qiao Qing Hao’s eyes dimmed, but his tone was still cheerful. “Alright then, don’t let yourself be too tired, just take it slow. Chu Liang? Just think of the child in his womb. He needs to eat and rest. ”
Tao Chu Liang put down the receiver, laid on the chair and relaxed his body, and unconsciously touched his stomach.
In her stomach, there was the final connection between his and Xiang Chen Xi. This was their child.
Tao Chu Liang could not help but laugh, but his eyes were red.
His heart felt as though it was missing a piece. It was empty, and he couldn’t fill it no matter how hard he tried.
Shaking her head, Tao Chu Liang told herself to not think about this for now. She stood up and walked around the office a few times, after inspecting the documents for a long time, her hands and feet were a little stiff.
After he relaxed a bit, Tao Chu Liang slowly stood in front of the gigantic window and looked down at the entire city. From this, one could see how many people were shuttling back and forth amidst the traffic, and the position Tao Chu Liang stood was one that countless people would find difficult to reach in their entire lives.
The sky gradually darkened, the CBD became quiet during the day, and the people who had worked all day went home. But, as for me, where was my home, back to that familiar but no longer familiar empty house?
Tao Chu Liang laughed bitterly as he sat in front of the huge desk. After working for a few more hours, he finally dragged his exhausted body back home.
“Madam, you came back. I don’t know what happened today, but the entire villa has its power cut. Little Liu has already gone to look for properties, but he still hasn’t come back. What do you think?”
As he walked into the room in the dark, Tao Chu Liang laid on the bed for a while. He was not used to the dark, so he remembered that there was a maintenance phone on the contract.
“Phew, luckily I found it.” Tao Chu Liang put down the document, and sat on the leather chair that Xiang Chen Xi usually sat on, and dialed the number, but did not connect, and just as she was about to dial a second time, the sound of a window opening, could be heard, revealing a person entering.
Tao Chu Liang held his breath, his heartbeat increased and he could not help but shout in an attempt to scare the person who was retreating: “Who are you? What are you doing? Don’t come near me! ”
As the figure got closer and closer, Tao Chu Liang started to sweat profusely. What to do, what to do, what to do … She was only a weak girl who was pregnant; there was no way she could escape!
When this person finally walked to Tao Chu Liang’s side, Tao Chu Liang was instantly stunned, the familiar face, was Xiang Chen Xi!
Tao Chu Liang was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. He had personally seen him lying in the center of the funeral parlor with his whole body cold and unable to breathe.
Why was he in front of him now? What was going on? This… Was it an illusion?
Countless questions surfaced in Tao Chu Liang’s mind, but before she could react, Xiang Chen Xi grabbed her hand and ran out of the villa with all his might. It wasn’t until the two of them were completely exhausted that they stopped.
Tao Chu Liang panted heavily, but his gaze was still locked onto Xiang Chen Xi’s face and was incapable of leaving for even half a second. She was so afraid, afraid that this was just a dream, and once he woke up from it, the person in front of his, who was always thinking about his, would disappear. She would rather sink into her dreams and never wake up.
Xiang Chen Xi looked at Tao Chu Liang guiltily. Although he could see her every day on the screen, when Xiang Chen Xi stood in front of him, all the emotions such as heartache, guilt, yearning, worry and so on had gushed into his heart.
Tao Chu Liang couldn’t help but shed tears, but she wanted to know why Xiang Chen Xi had revived. Or rather, why he had faked his death and why he hid it from her!
Just as they were about to ask, they heard a loud sound. Instantly, a huge ball of fire appeared behind them. Clearly, their villa had exploded.
Tao Chu Liang trembled. The villa had actually exploded! If she was still inside, wouldn’t that mean …
“Chu Liang, I know you must have a lot of questions, but it’s not safe here. I’ll explain it to you in a while.” Xiang Chen Xi looked at Tao Chu Liang gently and held her hand tightly, bringing her to the small house in the suburbs.
