Chapter 356 I'm Really Sorry
There was a choking sound in her voice, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for many years finally found an outlet to vent. She continued, "Gu Mo, I know you have always treated me as a friend, but I... I have kept so much from you. I'm sorry, I really don't know how to face you."
I looked at her with mixed feelings. I didn't expect that behind this seemingly simple business game, there was such a complicated emotional entanglement. Ye Huating's pain and grievance shocked me, and Mr. Li's silence and guilt also made me feel a little sympathetic.
At this moment, Jiang Yichen suddenly spoke. His voice was calm and firm: "Ye Huating, now is not the time to apologize. We need to know what Mr. Zhao wants and what he will do next."
Ye Huating nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I will tell you everything I know. But before that, I hope you can promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" I asked.
She took a deep breath, and pleaded in her voice: "No matter what happens, please protect Mr. Li. Although he did something wrong, he...he is my husband after all."
I questioned Ye Huating loudly, was it just because of the pitiful relationship we had over the years, or was there some unspeakable secret behind it?
"Tingting, everyone is here now, just talk about it."
Then I added anxiously: "Why? What happened between you? Why do you still protect him? He has nothing now!" The more I talked, the more emotional I became. I questioned Ye Huating loudly, my heart filled with confusion and anger. Is it because of the pitiful relationship we have had for so many years, or is there something unspeakable behind it?
A trace of pain flashed in Ye Huating's eyes. She lowered her head and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Gu Mo, things are not what you think. In fact... I agree to all this."
"What?" I was stunned. I never expected her to say such a thing.
Jiang Yichen also frowned, with a hint of vigilance in his tone: "Ye Huating, what are you talking about?"
Ye Huating raised her head, her eyes wandered between us, and finally fixed on Mr. Li. Her voice was a little choked up: "In fact, Mr. Zhao just wanted me to disappear for a while at first, so that he and Mr. Li could have a chance to negotiate. But I... I know some secrets from the past, so I went directly to Mr. Zhao and talked to him once."
"You went to see Mr. Zhao?" Mr. Li's face turned pale instantly, and his voice trembled a little, "Tingting, you...how could you do this?"
Ye Huating smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions: "Boss Li, do you think I don't know what you did back then? I know everything about Boss Zhao's mother and your shameful deeds. I just... never told you."
Mr. Li's expression became even uglier. He lowered his head, with a hint of regret in his voice: "I'm sorry, Tingting, I...I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Ye Huating shook her head, with a bit of helplessness in her tone: "Boss Zhao just wanted to take revenge on you at first, and he admitted it. But I told him that I also have a little bit of shares in the company. Although I seldom go to the company, I always remember it. I can transfer the shares to him as long as he lets you go."
"You...you want to give him the shares?" There was a flash of shock in Mr. Li's eyes, and there was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
Ye Huating nodded, her tone firm: "Yes, I originally wanted to exchange shares for your safety. But Mr. Zhao refused. He said he didn't care about the shares, he just wanted to take revenge on you."
"Then...then what did you discuss it later?" I couldn't help but ask.
Ye Huating took a deep breath and continued, "Later, we discussed and staged this play. Mr. Zhao pretended to kidnap me and forced you to hand over your shares, and I took the opportunity to make you see your mistakes. I know you have been avoiding the past and evading responsibility over the years, so I hope you can really face yourself."
A trace of tears flashed in Mr. Li's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice: "Tingting, I...I am really sorry for you."
Ye Huating's voice was choked with sobs: "Mr. Li, I know you haven't had an easy time these years, but I also hope you can understand that some mistakes can't be avoided. After my parents passed away, I didn't want the family property to decline, so I always wanted to come back. But now the company's development is not as good as before, and we are short of money. For the sake of the children, the current plan is to fill this hole first."
She paused and continued, "You can transfer the shares to Mr. Zhao, and I will run my own company well. As for you... I hope you can reform yourself."
Mr. Li's eyes were filled with regret and pain, and he whispered, "Tingting, I...I really don't know how to make it up to you."
Ye Huating shook her head, with a bit of relief in her tone: "Mr. Li, let the past be the past. I just hope you can treat our children well and don't let them get hurt again."
After listening to Ye Huating's explanation, Jiang Yichen and I looked at each other, our hearts filled with complicated emotions.
Jiang Yichen spoke first, his tone calm and firm: "Ye Huating, we respect your decision. But Mr. Li's share transfer must be legal and compliant. We can't let Mr. Zhao take advantage of it."
I nodded and added, "Also, Mr. Zhao's attitude is crucial. If he is just seeking revenge, we also need to ensure that he does not cause further harm to Mr. Li and his family."
Ye Huating nodded, with a hint of gratitude in her tone: "Thank you for your understanding. I will go talk to Mr. Zhao again. He is actually... not a bad person, he is just blinded by hatred."
"Think about it yourself."
Mr. Zhao couldn't bear to see this situation, so he just walked away. Jiang Yichen and I prepared to go back and discuss it further.
But that night, Ye Huating made an appointment with Mr. Zhao to meet, and Jiang Yichen and I went with him to make sure that the matter could be resolved smoothly.
When Mr. Zhao saw us, his face was a little gloomy, but he did not show any hostility. He said coldly: "Ye Huating, what else do you want to say? I have already promised to let Mr. Li go."
Ye Huating took a deep breath and pleaded in her tone: "Mr. Zhao, I know you hate Mr. Li, but he is my husband after all and the father of my child. I hope you can give him a chance to reform."
Mr. Zhao was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He whispered: "Ye Huating, do you really think he will change?" !
Ye Huating nodded, and said firmly: "I believe he will. Moreover, I will supervise him and make sure he doesn't make mistakes again."
