Chapter 1100: Chapter 1100
Li Yun’er was speaking sarcastically, looking like she was giving up on everything.
But in the next second, Zhao Xiaotang raised her hand and slapped Li Yun’er.
This caught everyone by surprise; on the surface, Zhao Xiaotang didn’t seem like someone who would act violently.
Not to mention, the slap was quite satisfying.
Li Yun’er covered her face, then looked at the people in the room. Not a single person spoke up for her, so naturally, she had no face to stay here any longer.
“I want to see how you explain this next; we’ll see,”
After saying this, Li Yun’er threw out a harsh remark and turned to leave.
Once Li Yun’er left, the atmosphere relaxed quite a bit.
This was all a misunderstanding, and Zhao Xiaotang lowered her pride and sincerely apologized to Xia Xue and the others.
Actually, everyone could see in the surveillance footage that Zhao Xiaotang was trying to stop those paparazzi.
It’s just unexpected that those people clung on like leeches, coming back again after being chased away.
Therefore, even Shen Mange didn’t think Zhao Xiaotang was that wicked.
Seeing that these people didn’t drive her away, Zhao Xiaotang felt relieved.
However, Zhao Xiaotang vaguely sensed that these women seemed to have some interest in Zhang Yang.
Even Shen Mange showed a bit of vigilance in her eyes when she saw the rumor between her and Zhang Yang just now.
This discovery made Zhao Xiaotang feel incredulous.
Does this man’s charm really have such a great impact? Shen Mange, such an excellent woman, willingly watches the man she likes mingle with other women, yet can get along harmoniously. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIꜰire.net
But Zhao Xiaotang knew this wasn’t something she should instigate.
Zhao Xiaotang expressed her intentions and explained to the group, “I’ve actually been looking for you, Zhang Yang.”
Zhang Yang nodded, “I could see that, but why are you looking for me? If I’m not mistaken, it should be related to either the Xu Family or the Guo Family.”
Zhang Yang had just figured this since the picture of him and Shen Mange was taken while dealing with the Xu Family and the Guo Family.
It’s possible because he was close to Shen Mange that they got photographed.
He didn’t know Zhao Xiaotang, so her suddenly seeking him was likely related to these two families.
Precisely because of this, Zhang Yang didn’t show a friendly expression towards Zhao Xiaotang.
Zhao Xiaotang nodded directly and admitted, “It’s because of the second son of the Guo Family.”
“Not long ago, I was forced to get engaged to the Guo Family’s second son, and I want to break off the engagement, but my mom doesn’t agree.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang directly replied, “If your mom doesn’t agree, then let your mom marry him instead.”
Everyone present looked at Zhang Yang at the same time; his words were really amusing, but it wasn’t appropriate to laugh out loud. Did he have to be so straightforward, hurting the girl’s feelings?
Zhao Xiaotang also rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang but didn’t take offense.
“Well, anyway, the situation is simple. Although I seem to be the Zhao family’s daughter, my mom is just one of my dad’s concubines.”
Zhang Yang interrupted Zhao Xiaotang, “How many wives does your dad have?”
“He has four wives,” Zhao Xiaotang answered truthfully.
Zhang Yang asked incredulously, “Is H Country practicing polygamy?”
“That’s not the case, but even without registering, as long as the relationship is made public, it’s considered a marital relationship.”
After explaining, Zhao Xiaotang said helplessly to Zhang Yang, “Can you let us finish talking before asking such pointless questions?”
Zhang Yang also sensed the strange looks from Shen Mange and Xia Xue, so he smiled and refrained from pursuing the topic.
Zhao Xiaotang continued, “My mom wants to use my engagement to the Guo Family’s second son to elevate our status at home.”
“My dad is already over eighty years old, his health is deteriorating every day, so my mom wants to secure more inheritance, thus wanting me to be her bargaining chip.”
Everyone understood; it was a commercial alliance. Zhao Xiaotang’s mom was just a bit unsightly in her approach. However, this wasn’t unusual in large families.
Shen Mange quickly asked Zhao Xiaotang, “So you don’t want to marry the Guo Family’s second son?”
“Exactly, because I heard that while he was studying abroad, he played around excessively—not only with women but with men too. Anyway, I feel disgusted by him and won’t marry him.”
Zhang Yang applauded; this guy is truly impressive.
“This Guo Family’s second son is Guo Qiyu’s brother, correct?” Zhang Yang asked.
“Indeed, he is Guo Qiyu’s brother, named Guo Hailong.”
Zhang Yang asked somewhat curiously, “Even though the Guo Family’s circumstances are , is your mom still fixated on them?”
“Why haven’t I heard anything about this Guo Hailong in this period?”
“A dying camel is still bigger than a horse; the feud with the Guo Family didn’t shake its foundations.”
“Of course, the Guo Family will suffer losses for not participating in the Starlight Award. However, the Guo Family recently made a significant breakthrough in the new energy field.”
“It’s the second son of the Guo Family who brought the technology from abroad, enabling the family to achieve such progress.”
“Therefore, the Guo Family still has great potential. Once this new energy product is launched, it may soar.”
“Since you dealt with the Family Head and Guo Qiyu, undoubtedly the future head of the Guo Family will be Guo Hailong.”
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Yang was a bit surprised, not expecting the extent of his conflict with the Guo Family, yet someone else reaped the benefits.
Guo Hailong must have known about things here long ago but hadn’t surfaced, probably wanting to use him to eliminate Guo Qiyu.
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but smirk, not expecting to be used .
The question arose; Zhang Yang asked Zhao Xiaotang, “If you want to break the engagement, then go ahead, why involve me?”
“Firstly, we’re not close, secondly, do you think an outsider like me can interfere in your family’s matters?”
“Or did you think that after knowing about Guo Hailong, I would rush to cause trouble for him and help you get rid of him?”
By the end, Zhang Yang’s face had turned completely cold.
Being used as a tool; this woman truly is scheming, really treating Zhang Yang like a fool.
Zhao Xiaotang hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean that. I found you only to use Guo Hailong’s fear of you, hoping he’d back off and propose the dissolution of the engagement, so my mom wouldn’t pressure me anymore.”
Zhang Yang found it amusing, “But why should I help you?”
