That was a given, they all had families, one couldn’t just disregard their family concerns entirely.
With Zhang Sanfeng at the lead, the faces of the group turned sowhat ashen.
As it happened, soone had already been next door, listening to all this commotion, and after hearing Gu Nuan’s statent, finally ca out.
A glance was all it took to see the professor with the sly belly exiting the room, and Gu Nuan’s deanor shifted abruptly.
"Professor Tang."
"Mrs. Xia," Tang Sili said with an even tone that betrayed no emotion, "the hospital called to go back."
"What would happen if you didn’t go back?"
"I’m afraid all my benefits and privileges at the hospital might be revoked."
Everyone nearby heard this news and found themselves at a loss for words, unable to join the conversation.
It should be said, the others using Tang Sili as a point of leverage, threatening him, was to be expected, sothing that should have been anticipated. Zhang Sanfeng was feeling so regret; he could have taken so preventative asures.
Now that Tang Sili suddenly erged, suggesting that he needed to leave, once he went back, it was likely he wouldn’t be able to return. So, what would Gu Nuan and the children do?
"When my husband went back, you were supposed to go back too, did you know that, Professor Tang?"
All those present were surprised at how Gu Nuan seed to ntion this so casually, as she should have been asleep and unaware at the ti, while simultaneously they couldn’t help but admire her for her shrewdness.
Tang Sili cleared his throat twice, "This—"
"Don’t forget who your boss is. To keep you here, your boss gave himself up, and now you’re saying you want to leave?"
Mrs. Xia’s tone carried a clear hint of anger.
There stood Tang Sili, his head slightly bowed, perhaps at this mont, this woman’s fearsoness was beginning to reveal itself before everyone, just as formidable as his boss.
It should be said that despite Gu Jinrong usually appearing very assertive, even domineering in front of her husband, it wasn’t actually the case. Gu Jinrong was adept at being both a woman and a wife, always giving her husband due respect. Hence, in major matters, she always followed her husband’s lead.
Now, with her husband away and morale low, how she would act beca apparent as this inherently strong-willed wife showed her true colors.
"I can tell you clearly, Professor Tang, that hospital won’t ultimately belong to him."
At her words, everyone present felt their hearts skip a beat.
By the ti they collected themselves, Gu Nuan had already gone downstairs.
Tang Sili naturally went back to his room, uninterested in speaking with anyone else.
His boss, as Gu Nuan had stated, was always that one man.
anwhile, a figure stood silently in a corner, observing everything.
When Little Pudding woke up, he found an auntie by his side who said her surna was Zhong, and then, this Auntie Zhong gave him so afternoon snacks she claid were personally prepared by his Gu Auntie, feeding them to him.
While eating cake and drinking milk to replenish his afternoon energy, Little Pudding asked Auntie Zhong, "Where’s Auntie?"
The child, with his uncle away, could only cling to his auntie as a source of security.
Zhong Qiaohui said, "Your auntie is working downstairs."
As she spoke, Auntie Zhong’s tone seed sowhat bitter, as if she felt abandoned by the auntie and was unhappy about it. Little Pudding’s eyes rolled around, thinking this.
Just like Zhong Qiaohui, feeling the abandonnt of Gu Jinrong, there were many others.
Zhang Sanfeng and Zhan Dapeng felt increasingly restless.
Because they tried to persuade Gu Nuan not to leave, and naturally, they couldn’t prevent Gu Nuan from bringing people here.
The old crocodile had indeed underestimated Gu Jinrong, really thinking that, aside from them, Gu Jinrong had no wealthy friends who could offer help?
First to arrive was Chen Jiaming, whom they hadn’t seen in a while and who was said to have started his own company, landing in the villa in a black BMW.
With him was Li Changzhi, who had joined him in his entrepreneurial venture.
Upon seeing these two unwelco guests, Zhong Qiaohui sighed secretly: how typical of Gu Nuan!
How many people can turn an opponent into a collaborator?
Not many!
Not to ntion the arrival of Wa Zicong, who ca alone in a taxi.
Chen Jiaming was one thing, but Wa Zicong was Gu Nuan’s ex-boyfriend, and could be considered a rival in love to her husband. Both Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng furrowed their brows.
Feeling obviously unwelco in this house, Wa Zicong took off his coat, handed it to the butler, and said to them, "Are you still dreaming?"
What?
Zhang Sanfeng and the others stared at his presumptuousness.
With a deep smirk on his lips, Wa Zicong said, "It feels like you’re just like I used to be, unaware that you’re dreaming. Do you think she’s begging you?"
Their gazes shifted.
Continuing to smile deeply, Wa Zicong walked past this group.
He knew, quite soon, they would regret it just as he did, and realize that it was never her begging anyone. She never begged; on the contrary, everyone needed to beg her.
