But all of this had nothing to do with her anymore. The man she had wanted to spend her whole life trying to understand, she now had to close the door to her voyage.
"Auntie, let's go!"
The conversation in the study continued. When Mrs. Chu and Gan Tang walked over, they heard Chu Mingxuan say with a sense of helplessness, "Brother Lu, whether this matter is true or false, I don't care. But my Chu family must not be in the public eye."
Helpless, Lu Zhengqian could only agree, "Brother Chu, please don't say anything more, I understand."
"To be honest, I am very satisfied with Xintang as my daughter-in-law. My wife wants to recognize Xintang as her goddaughter, and at that time, I will give Xintang 1% of the shares of Chu Group."
This time, not only Lu Zhengqian was shocked, but Gan Tang was also stunned. She didn't dare to think about what one percent of the Chu Group's shares meant, and looked at Mrs. Chu nervously.
Mrs. Chu gently patted the back of her hand, her voice as tender as a mother's: "This is what you deserve."
Three days after the incident, Mrs. Chu held a grand family reunion banquet, where Gan Tang met all the groom's guests who should have been seen at the wedding.
In front of everyone, Mrs. Chu gave a set of antique jewelry worth 70 million yuan to her goddaughter, saying it was as a dowry.
The value of this precious jewelry is not its monetary worth; it was Mrs. Chu's maternal grandmother's dowry, passed down from her grandmother to her mother, and then from her mother to her.
Today, Mrs. Chu presented this set of jewelry to her in front of all the distinguished guests, which means that she is telling everyone that she truly regards the eldest daughter of the Lu Group as her own daughter.
Gan Tang was pleased with the outcome; otherwise, she wouldn't have feigned pitifulness to get Mrs. Chu to recognize her as her goddaughter. To gain a foothold in the Green Dragon Gang, she needed the Chu family's reputation, even if it was just a hollow title.
Yet, they bestowed real wealth and prestige upon the culprit who orchestrated all of this. This filled Gan Tang with dread. Fortunately, Mo Huaixing would return tonight.
She would no longer be afraid as long as she saw him.
After the banquet, Gan Tang returned to Yuanhuai Manor, set her alarm, and went to bed. Lying in bed, she imagined his expression when he found out everything. As she thought about it, she pulled the covers over herself and smiled shyly.
At 8 p.m., Gan Tang appeared at the airport on time, wearing a pair of slim-fitting black pants and a long-sleeved white shirt.
In the spacious airport terminal, Gan Tang stood on the smooth tiles and immediately spotted the tall figure she had been longing for.
And he saw her too.
Gantang, like a joyful little rabbit, ran towards him.
Mo Huaixing dropped his suitcase, took two quick steps, and hugged the girl who was running towards him tightly, determined to meld her into his body: "Don't be afraid, even without him, I can protect you."
"I know." Gan Tang listened to his rapid heartbeat, her face glowing like a peach blossom.
Fu Cheng walked over pitifully, pushing two suitcases. As a general manager, it was bad enough that he had to carry suitcases for others, but he also had to endure the blows of being a single dog. It was really too hateful.
A low cough.
Gan Tang quickly released Mo Huaixing and asked anxiously, "Why are you running? How's your wound?"
Mo Huaixing shook his head: "It's nothing, it's been fine for a long time."
Gan Tang glanced at the location of his wound, turned around and stood in front of Mo Huaixing, smiling at Fu Cheng: "Big brother, you must be tired after a long day, go back and rest, I'll take him back."
Fu Cheng found it strange. After they learned of her accident in Canglan, Mo Huaixing was absent-minded all day long, so Fu Cheng arranged things there as soon as possible and brought him back. Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him didn't seem sad at all, and even seemed a little happy.
Could it be because of Amo?
Thinking of this, Fu Cheng couldn't help but feel happy for his brother and thoughtfully reminded him, "Little sister, would you like me to give your driver a ride on the way?"
Gan Tang's face flushed red instantly, and she whispered, "I drove here myself."
Ever since Ali took her parents away at Lu Zhengqian's birthday banquet, she started learning to drive, and her driver's license came in just two days ago.
"Being able to drive is convenient." Fu Cheng looked meaningfully at Mo Huaixing's small frame and reminded Gan Tang, "His injury hasn't healed yet, don't let him show off."
"Understood!" Gan Tang watched Fu Cheng leave, pulling her suitcase with one hand and grasping the hand of the man beside her with the other. His hand was strong and warm, with clearly defined veins. It was good; from now on, she wouldn't be alone anymore.
The suitcase wheels clattered, and for the first time, she found the sound pleasant and melodious.
In the car on the way back to the city, Gan Tang stared intently at the road ahead, her limbs moving mechanically like a puppet.
Mo Huaixing had been worried about her mental state for the past two days, his mind racing. Seeing her like this now, he felt even more heartache: "Boss..."
"Don't say anything yet." She had just learned to drive and couldn't concentrate on listening to him; she was focused entirely on driving.
The sports car drove a bumpy road to the seaside. A sea breeze blew, dispelling the summer's oppressive heat.
Gan Tang walked around the front of the car and helped Mo Huaixing out of the car.
Mo Huaixing asked curiously, "Why are we stopping here?"
"Just get off the bus when I tell you to! Stop talking nonsense!"
After not seeing her for several days, the girl before me had become even more beautiful. Her voice was soft and gentle, tinged with a willful shyness that stirred the heart. But this shouldn't be the state of a girl who had experienced a scandal and been jilted at marriage, should it?
Just as Mo Huaixing was wondering if he was imagining things, Gan Tang had already helped him sit on a large rock. She stood before him, hands clasped together, and softly asked, "What were you trying to say? Go ahead!"
Her voice is still as captivating as ever.
Mo Huaixing attributed all of this to an illusion, calmed himself down, and spoke again: "Don't be sad, there may still be room for things to turn around."
"What kind of person is he? He was just saying he'd protect me, and now he's saying this?" Gan Tang was annoyed and decided to tease him, "Mrs. Chu has already recognized me as her goddaughter, what can you do about it?"
She was smiling as she said this. The smile was so full that it filled Mo Huaixing with a sorrowful yet worried feeling, but he really hadn't thought of a solution yet, and he was too heartbroken to speak.
"Mo Huaixing, I'm already in such a terrible state, and you're still lying to me." Gan Tang covered her face and pretended to cry. "Now that I've done something so shameful, no one will want to marry me anymore."
"Of course there is!"
"Who is it?" Gan Tang moved her hands away and looked at the angry man with a smile.
That doll-like face, changing in an instant, left Mo Huaixing flustered and at a loss. He timidly looked away and began to analyze: "Now that things have come to this, we must first find the person who harmed you."
"He Zhong?" Gan Tang asked.
"That's not like him. Mr. Fu made him a promise. He does hold grudges, but it doesn't make sense for him to give up so many benefits and take such a risk just because you hit him."
