"You're overthinking it! I beg you, please let him go!" Gan Tang said, her voice trembling with tears. "I did help you out, after all. Now that you've crossed the river, are you going to tear down the bridge I provided?"

The sobbing was unsettling to hear.

Mo Huaixing parked the car on the side of the road and looked at Gan Tang: "Okay, I promise you. But you have to promise me one thing."

"What's up?"

Break up with him!

"……good."

If things continue like this, it will be hard for Lu Zhengqian not to realize that he has been implicated and that his demands are reasonable.

Mo Huaixing tossed the prescription the old doctor had written onto Gan Tang and continued driving. "One dose a day for seven days. Also, remember to eat some foods that nourish your qi and blood. And don't just... focus on having fun, take care of your health."

Gan Tang didn't ask what it was, neatly put it away, and obediently asked, "Is there any more?"

Mo Huaixing's face turned red again.

Returning to Yuanhuai Manor, looking at this prison filled with sin and confining freedom, Gantang swallowed her promise with tears in her eyes.

What can we do if we don't break up? Mo Huaixing already knows, and one day, Lu Zhengqian will find out too.

For several days, Gan Tang restrained herself from seeing Cao Yunbo. However, whenever they bumped into each other at the company, Cao Yunbo would risk talking to Gan Tang each time. Once, he even boldly pulled Gan Tang into the restroom, almost getting discovered by the people using the restroom.

Gan Tang was worried that Cao Yunbo would cause trouble if things continued like this.

That day, Gan Tang finished her work and left the company early. As usual, Mo Huaixing acted as her driver.

As they passed the shopping plaza, Gan Tang couldn't help but stop the car.

"Mo Huaixing, can I see him one more time?" Gan Tang explained, "He's been bothering me every day these past few days, and I'm worried something might happen. If something does happen, it won't be good for you either. I promise, I'll only tell him I'm breaking up!"

"Why are you asking me?" She could have easily gone to see him secretly.

Gan Tang was puzzled by Mo Huaixing's reaction and asked in confusion, "I promised you I wouldn't see him again, so of course I have to ask you."

"Yes!" That's all!

Mo Huaixing raised his hand to check his watch, trying his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart: "Miss, don't forget, you have an appointment with Young Master Chu tonight. Go and come back quickly."

Gan Tang, who had already lowered her head, excitedly raised it after hearing the last four words: "Thank you!"

With that, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Don't give him money!

Gan Tang was taken aback for a moment. Although she didn't want him to assume the worst about Cao Yunbo, she still nodded in agreement, "I know."

This time, they knew the apartment's password by heart and even installed a landline phone inside.

Gan Tang made the phone call and waited quietly for Cao Yunbo. On the coffee table, a water glass was pressing down on a test report—a mushroom toxicity test report.

She couldn't believe Cao Yunbo would drug her, especially since it happened in a public place like a sports field. But whenever she thought about her reckless actions, she couldn't ignore Mo Huaixing's words.

She didn't believe Cao Yunbo would use Mrs. Chu to scheme against her. After all, with his abilities, it was impossible for him to know Mrs. Chu's schedule.

But seeing his woman about to marry someone else, he might impulsively do something rash, and she felt it wasn't impossible. Because of his wrongdoing, she dared to confidently tell him she wanted to break up.

But now, looking at this medical report, with Cao Yunbo's trembling handwriting: "I'm so useless for causing Tangtang to be poisoned."

Gan Tang suddenly felt a little guilty. Had she really misunderstood him?

"Tangtang!"

At this moment, Cao Yunbo walked in. He rushed forward and hugged Gan Tang tightly, bursting into tears, determined to express his endless longing and guilt.

Gan Tang deliberately ignored his voice and coldly pushed him away.

Let's break up!

"Tangtang, I really didn't mean to poison you. You have everything now, and I didn't know how to let you know that I love you, so I went to pick some wild mushrooms myself. I didn't know they were poisonous."

"That's not the reason."

"Why is that?" It turned out that when they were dating, he had hinted at it to her several times, but she always rejected him because they weren't married yet.

Cao Yunbo thought that now that she had money, she would feel even more so.

Gan Tang said resolutely, "I will be the young mistress of the Chu Group from now on. I will marry Chu Jiahe, have children, and live a loving life with him. I don't want anything to go wrong because of you. You... are not worthy!"

"That……"

Cao Yunbo's emotions gradually became agitated: "I will never ask you to go out with me again. I won't go out on my own either, I'll just stay in this apartment, and I'll quit my job. Just treat me like a lapdog in a cage, and tease him when you're unhappy. He will never cause you any more trouble, he will make you happy."

As he spoke, Cao Yunbo knelt down in front of Gan Tang, hugged her legs, and nuzzled them like a dog.

Gan Tang clenched her fists, her throat dry: "Yunbo, it's no use, don't do this."

Cao Yunbo looked up with red eyes. He didn't want things to be like this, but Yu Dayong threatened him every day, and he was really going crazy.

Once you start gambling, there's no turning back. It's all the woman's fault; she gave him hope, then cruelly abandoned him.

"From now on, I won't go out to buy food anymore. If you don't come, I'll starve to death here." Cao Yunbo said fiercely, then went to the kitchen and dumped all the rice, oil, and seasonings down the drain. Then he went to throw away the food in the refrigerator.

Gan Tang was terrified by his crazy actions.

"Yunbo, let's accept our fate!"

Gan Tang hugged him tightly from behind. The only sounds in the room were heavy breathing and sobbing. Cao Yunbo suddenly turned around and fiercely kissed the woman who had tried to abandon him.

A crazy idea rushed into his mind. Right now, right here, he would force himself on her. What could she do? Could things get any worse?

The cell phone rang.

"Ugh...ugh..." Gan Tang tried her best to push away the hand pressing on her waist, "No...he's coming, he's coming up..."

who?

Cao Yunbo was so frightened that he let go of Gan Tang.

It really was Mo Huaixing calling. Gan Tang answered the phone, hurriedly said, "I'm already down," and hung up.

"I won't be coming back. Someone is waiting for me down there. I'm leaving."

"Tangtang, I'll wait for you here until I die!" Cao Yunbo threatened suicide.

This was the last chance she had begged for, and she couldn't guarantee that Mo Huaixing would have much patience left and wouldn't take action against her.

Why does everyone push themselves so hard?

Gan Tang looked up, forcing back her tears. She knew that the man in front of her was upright and kind. The first time they met, he was arguing for migrant workers who were owed wages.

"Yunbo, do you know why the Lu Group is so rich?" Gantang decided to tell him the truth: "Because Lu Zhengqian is involved in drug trafficking."

“I am the daughter of a drug dealer, a truly wicked person.”

"For every penny I spend, someone becomes a ghost, and a family is torn apart."

"The net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it. I'm really worried that one day I'll end up in jail. Aren't you afraid?"

Cao Yunbo froze, and the hand that had wanted to clench its fist gradually lost its strength.

"I need Chu Jiahe, I need him to take me away from the abyss of sin." It turns out that she was never innocent in her relationship with Chu Jiahe.

I was too greedy.

Gan Tang turned around with a smile.
