Chapter 503 Hypocrisy
Li Yihe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there really no other solution?"
"Before coming to London, I made a special trip to find your brother, hoping to get him to stay out of this, but it didn't work as expected." Tang Shuo shook his head regretfully and said, "Your brother is still entangled with Song Wenchang and his gang..."
Li Yihe murmured twice, but finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.
She had originally wanted Tang Shuo to step aside, but suddenly realized her request was a bit excessive. From the beginning till now, it had been her brother Li Ruiyi who had been picking on the problem. Tang Shuo wasn't to blame at all.
From an objective point of view, Tang Shuo was the victim in this incident, and her brother Li Ruiyi was the attacker.
Could it be that under such circumstances, she could still ask Tang Shuo to stay away forever?
But the problem is that this matter has already involved her family, and it is impossible for her to consider this issue from a rational perspective.
Lovers and family.
Li Yihe was once again in a dilemma.
It's not that she didn't think about directly persuading Li Ruiyi to give up, but the problem is how could the other party listen to her advice at this time.
Not to mention the relationship between her and Tang Shuo, how much Li Ruiyi would believe what she said.
Take Li Ruiyi's own personality for example, it is destined that the other party will not give up on this matter.
Among the five major families in Yanjing, Li Ruiyi and Song Wenchang have the best private relationship. In many matters, Li Ruiyi almost always follows Song Wenchang's lead. There were also rumors that Li Ruiyi was just Song Wenchang's errand boy.
But in fact, Li Ruiyi is a very opinionated person. Perhaps the word "opinionated" is not accurate at all. It should be said that he is a person who knows how to be patient.
After the story of the errand boy spread, Li Yihe asked him what he thought about it.
At that time, Li Ruiyi just smiled and didn't seem to take it to heart at all. However, Li Yihe knew that the other party had always regarded Song Wenchang and the Song family as the goal to surpass.
Now that such a good opportunity is in front of them, and in the eyes of the other party, this should be the time to defeat the other major families in one fell swoop, how could Li Ruiyi give up because of his two words.
Li Yihe was silent for a while, then he said quietly, "After this is over, I hope you can let him go."
She didn't think there was any suspense in this matter, so naturally she didn't have any hope for Li Ruiyi.
“…”
Tang Shuo sighed deeply, as if he hadn't heard what Li Yihe said. He frowned and said nothing.
There were too many uncertainties in this matter, and Tang Shuo didn't dare to make any guarantees. After Jiang Tiantong's attack, Tang Shuo no longer dared to be careless.
If Li Ruiyi really did something that touched his bottom line, Tang Shuo would have no choice but to find a way to completely resolve the hidden danger.
Li Yihe bit her lip, looked at Tang Shuo with tears in her eyes and said, "I have already decided not to care about this matter. Can't you even agree to such a simple request?"
“…”
Seeing that the direction of things development was similar to what he expected, Tang Shuo felt very helpless.
This wasn't something that could be solved through negotiation; the direction of events would depend on Li Ruiyi's next move. The decision wasn't his.
Snap...
The bedroom door was pushed open. Jiang Tiantong, who had already changed into pajamas, glared at Tang Shuo, then stepped forward, took Li Yihe's hand and said, "Let's go in first!"
Tang Shuo looked at Li Yihe's back with a guilty look, breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded Li Ruiyi for a long time.
Now he could only hope that things would not develop in the worst direction, so as to avoid any rift between him and Li Yihe.
…
"Don't cry."
Jiang Tiantong obviously didn't know how to comfort others. After handing the tissue on the cabinet to Li Yihe, she lay down on the bed and continued to look through a fashion magazine she was reading.
She actually wanted to go out and tell Tang Shuo that she planned to go with him when he met Li Ruiyi tomorrow, but as soon as she reached the door, she heard the conversation between Tang Shuo and Li Yihe.
Li Yihe wiped the tears from his face and immediately said to Jiang Tiantong, "What would you do if you were me?"
"Your hypothesis is simply impossible." Jiang Tiantong said calmly, "So this question is meaningless."
"Can……"
"But I can tell you something." Jiang Tiantong continued, "What were you thinking when you asked him this question?"
"Of course... let him agree..."
After Li Yihe answered this question, he fell silent first.
Is it true that all she needs is an irresponsible promise?
In fact, Tang Shuo could have just agreed to it and kept her company. Even if she and Li Ruiyi fell out and something unpleasant happened, he could have made up an excuse to continue deceiving her.
But the other party didn't do that at all, and instead didn't answer her question. Could it be that Tang Shuo wouldn't think of doing that?
She is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, and the way ordinary girls pretend to be stupid does not apply to her at all.
If Tang Shuo had really agreed to this, and then Li Ruiyi had a problem, she would probably start to doubt this matter again.
"It seems you've figured it out." Jiang Tiantong said, "After I return home, I'll talk to Li Ruiyi if I have the chance."
Li Yihe's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Really?"
Even Li Yihe herself did not realize that she now had an almost blind admiration for Jiang Tiantong.
Given Jiang Tiantong's ability, if she took charge of this matter, there would definitely be no major problems.
Jiang Tiantong glanced at Li Yihe, even disdainfully answering the question. She closed the magazine in her hand and lay down directly in bed.
Li Yihe jumped onto the bed and, taking advantage of Jiang Tiantong's unpreparedness, kissed her on the cheek and said, "Thank you."
Seeing Jiang Tiantong's angry eyes, Li Yihe smiled sullenly, stood up and hurriedly began to change into pajamas.
As for Tang Shuo.
The other party made her so sad this time, how could she let him go easily?
…
Perimont Restaurant.
After having a meal here, Song Wenchang and Chris Barber also felt the extraordinary quality of this place.
This feeling of overlooking London, as if the whole city is at your feet, is more enjoyable than eating.
When Song Wenchang saw Tang Shuo coming out of the elevator, he was about to wave to him, but he saw Jiang Tiantong following closely behind him.
The smile on Song Wenchang's face froze, but he quickly concealed it, and then showed a smile that was even brighter than before.
Tang Shuo nodded and smiled at Song Wenchang who raised his hand, then whispered to Jiang Tiantong, "This guy is so hypocritical."
"Aren't you the same?" Jiang Tiantong responded.
“…”
Tang Shuo was speechless for a moment. He glanced at Zhang Jingxin beside Song Wenchang and said, "I was forced to do this."
"I didn't expect you two to come together."
As Tang Shuo and the other man approached the area around Song Wenchang, Song Wenchang stood up and said, "Hurry up and sit down. I'll arrange for someone to get another set of tableware."
Zhang Jingxin wisely stood up and called the waiter, asking him to add another set of tableware.
"We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce ourselves." Song Wenchang said with a smile, acting like the host.
"It seems Jingxin is doing a good job on your side." Tang Shuo said to Zhang Jingxin.
"Yes."
Song Wenchang nodded and said, "I also want to thank Mr. Tang for his generosity. Otherwise, I would never have come across such a talent."
Tang Shuo replied, "Since Mr. Tang likes people like this, I'll check tomorrow to see if there are any employees in the company's cleaning department who want to resign, and then introduce them to you one by one."
"you!"
Zhang Jingxin's expression changed and he pointed at Tang Shuo excitedly.
It's no wonder that Zhang Jingxin was so emotional. Tang Shuo's words showed no mercy to him at all, and even had some insulting meaning.
Song Wenchang waved his hand at Zhang Jingxin and said with a smile, "So, everyone in Mr. Tang's company is a talent."
