Chapter 104 Helpless
"What?" Tang Zifeng frowned, a little bit incredulous: "You and Gu Ningwei broke up?"
Han nodded.
"Will Gu Ningwei agree to break up with you?" Tang Zifeng chuckled and shook his head slightly: "His temper..."
"I'm serious." Han Que's expression was very serious.
"What's the reason?" Tang Zifeng glanced at her, saw her expression, and began to believe it a little.
"I think Professor Tang, you don't need to tell me the reason. You are so familiar with Gu Ningwei and have been friends for many years. Moreover, you should know more about his affairs than I do. Do you still need to ask the reason?" Han looked at him with a calm face and a gentle tone.
She didn't want to reveal her feelings to Tang Zifeng. She didn't want to tell all her resentment and helplessness to a man she wasn't familiar with.
Didn’t someone once say that it is dangerous to complain about one member of the opposite sex to another member of the opposite sex?
She doesn't want to cause trouble.
"Well, you're upset because of what happened between him and He Lian, right?" Tang Zifeng had already figured out the reason. He frowned and said, "But I do know Gu Ningwei. He's not one to follow other people's orders. He won't give in until the very last moment. You don't have to break up with him so hastily."
"But I have my own thoughts." Han sighed softly and said jokingly, "Professor Tang must not have seen the comments about me online before."
"Oh, I haven't noticed that." Tang Zifeng said, "I don't usually pay much attention to online news. It's such a waste of time."
Han smiled.
Sure enough, people like Tang Zifeng only focus on what they want and will not be affected by the outside world.
"Then what did you say?" Tang Zifeng asked again.
Han shrugged, turned his head to look out the window, and spoke indifferently, as if it were someone else's business. "It's always some unpleasant words, like gold digger, kept by someone... In short, it's that type of thing."
"Oh." Tang Zifeng suddenly smiled.
Han turned around and looked at him, puzzled, "What's so funny? Does Professor Tang think so too?"
"No, no..." Tang Zifeng quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I think if these people saw how hard you worked for Gu Ningwei's career, they wouldn't say that to you."
"That's not necessarily true," Han sneered. "People these days live in information cocoons. They only believe what they want to believe. If someone actually posted my work and life status online, they might be met with even more vicious attacks."
"Really?" Tang Zifeng didn't believe it.
"Yes, they will," Han said without hesitation. "They'll definitely say I'm playing the victim, that I deserve it, or that I'm trying to whitewash myself. Actually, I don't understand why people these days don't believe that there are all kinds of emotions in this world, and that not all emotions are categorized according to secular stereotypes."
"Since you can understand these principles, why do you still care about other people's opinions? Why do you worry about things that have nothing to do with you?" Tang Zifeng said lightly.
Han Que: "..."
She was stumped by Tang Zifeng's question.
"I don't know you very well, but I know Gu Ningwei better. He's the type of person who sticks to his own beliefs and won't compromise easily. Right now is a critical period for him. Breaking up with him would only distract him."
Tang Zifeng shook his head and expressed his judgment: "It's not a good idea for you to break up."
Han didn't say anything, and Tang Zifeng didn't say anything either. He just drove silently, slowly moving in the night traffic. The neon lights outside the window were shining, making his expression dim and unclear.
After a while, Han said softly: "But I also have my dignity."
Tang Zifeng nodded slightly to show his agreement.
When they arrived at their residence, Han got out of the car. She politely thanked Tang Zifeng for the dinner and for sending her home.
Tang Zifeng turned his head in the driver's seat, staring at her intently, and said with a faint smile: "Han Que, I just expressed my opinion just now. You don't have to care about it. Just do everything according to your own ideas."
Han smiled and nodded, thanked him softly, and turned to leave.
Tang Zifeng watched her back for a long time without moving his eyes away, and sighed slightly.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, leaned back in his seat, slowly puffed out the smoke, and thought.
His cell phone vibrated on the shelf next to his seat. He picked it up, glanced at it, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
It was just as expected.
Gu Ningwei could keep calm in everything, except now because of Han Que.
"Hmm?" Tang Zifeng answered the phone: "What's up?"
"Where are you now?" Gu Ningwei asked straight to the point.
"Where else can we go? Send Han Que home." Tang Zifeng stopped teasing him. He knew that Gu Ningwei must be very tired at this moment. "You checked on me. If you don't believe me, call her and see if she's home."
"I didn't check on her," Gu Ningwei said. "I was just asking you, where did you send her?"
"I don't know this place either..." Tang Zifeng frowned and looked around. "I'm not far away yet. I'll send you the location."
As he spoke, Tang Zifeng sent a location message.
Gu Ningwei was silent for a few seconds on the phone, then asked, "She went back?"
"Just went upstairs."
"Then why haven't you left yet?" Gu Ningwei pressed, then couldn't help but quip, "Professor Tang, are you planning to wait until the light in her room is on before going back, or are you just lingering and looking at her room, lost in thought?"
Tang Zifeng was furious. He hummed in his heart and said deliberately, "Of course, I will watch her go upstairs and wait until the light in her room is on before I leave with peace of mind."
"Tang Zifeng." Gu Ningwei gritted his teeth.
"Gu Ningwei, Han just told me that you two have broken up. You have no right to yell at me now." Tang Zifeng said coldly.
"That was her unilateral proposal. I didn't agree to break up." Gu Ningwei said angrily, "Besides, you are my friend too. You can't steal my girl like this."
"Gu Ningwei." Tang Zifeng shouted in a deep voice. He was both angry and amused by him. After a long while, he softened his tone: "How old are you? Can you sober up a little? Why do you act like you've lost your soul just because you're in a relationship? Are you doubting me, me, or Han Que? Can you find a place to take a cold shower and calm down?"
"Hey, there's been a lot going on lately, and I'm a little irritated." After a while, Gu Ningwei said, "I didn't mean to say this, but there's just an inexplicable anger pent up in my heart..."
"Forget it. I don't want to argue with you." After a moment of silence, Tang Zifeng said, "How was your conversation with him today?"
The guest that Gu Ningwei invited today was still under the sign of Tang Zifeng, but in order to avoid suspicion, he chose to temporarily avoid it.
"In this private contact, how far can we go? Everyone is talking about the difficulties and how hard it will be. They also say that our real estate industry is not mainstream at the moment. No one dares to take the initiative to take on this hot potato..." Gu Ningwei said helplessly.
"It seems that if we want to survive, we have no choice but to change our ways," Tang Zifeng said thoughtfully.
"Well, but adjustments take time and money, and these are all problems..." Gu Ningwei sighed, his voice sounding annoyed.
Tang Zifeng didn't say anything. He was well aware of the dilemma Gu Ningwei was facing. It seemed that the only way to break this predicament was to save themselves.
If Chengguang's problem could be solved, Gu Ningwei would not have to go the route of business marriage.
Maybe Han also understood this truth, so he could still work like a crazy woman after the breakup.
Only then did Tang Zifeng realize that she was also trying to save herself.
If Zhening Bio's performance is good enough, it might be able to make a big profit with a small investment and become Chengguang's lifeline. However, compared to Chengguang's huge business, Zhening Bio is still too weak.
Han went upstairs and entered.
There was no one in the living room, and I could hear the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Han leaned weakly against the door for a while before changing his shoes and walking inside. As he passed the kitchen, he had a keen sense of smell and smelled the odor of cooking fumes that ordinary people could not smell, which hit his nose directly.
The acid in her stomach began to rise again. She tried to hold it in for a long time but still couldn't hold it in. She found a trash can and started vomiting, pouring out her heart and soul, almost vomiting out all the food she had eaten that night.
After finally finishing vomiting, she leaned on the counter and gasped for a long time. She could smell the sour and stinky smell coming from her mouth, which was very unpleasant.
She ran to the living room to find a cup of water to rinse her mouth, and suddenly saw a figure on the balcony. She was startled and quickly walked to the balcony door and shouted, "Who is it?"
The figure was obviously startled as well, emerging from the darkness. However, when Han saw Zhou Wenwen's face, he quickly patted his chest and said, "What are you doing? You're sneaking around and scaring me."
"I was just enjoying the scenery, and I was startled by your shout." Zhou Wenwen walked up to her, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "I came to see you today, but you came back so late. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I have something to do, so I'm eating out." Han Que said, taking a cup of water to the kitchen to rinse his mouth.
"Hey, no wonder I saw someone sending you back just now. Who was it?" Zhou Wenwen asked.
"Colleague." Han said with water in his mouth.
Zhou Wenwen leaned on the kitchen door frame and watched Han Que rinsing her mouth. She suddenly stopped rinsing, leaned over the sink, bent over, stretched her neck, and began to dry heave.
I heard her retching for a long time, but nothing came out except sour water.
Zhou Wenwen went over to pat her back and said, "How come you're so responsive? My mom said she didn't vomit at all when she gave birth to me."
"You are your mother's good baby, and you know how to feel sorry for your mother." Han took a breath and finally rinsed his mouth.
He wiped his tears, panting as he walked past Zhou Wenwen. He leaned over and fell on the small sofa, mumbling weakly, "I'm so tired. I really don't want to drag it out for another day..."
Zhou Wenwen helped pour a glass of boiled water, walked into the living room, and looked down at Han Que.
She was half lying there, her face pale and her spirit listless, with beads of sweat on her forehead and a weak groan coming from her throat.
Zhou Wenwen handed her the cup of water, but Han waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to drink it.
Zhou Wenwen put down the water cup, sighed, carefully sat down beside her, and pushed her arm: "Han Que, how are you? Do you want to go to the hospital to see a doctor?"
"Don't bother me, I'm dying." Han closed his eyes. "My stomach is empty now, and it's churning. I haven't been able to eat anything from morning to night. I vomit after eating, even when I drink water..."
"How can you not see a doctor?" Zhou Wenwen was a little anxious.
"The doctor is taking a shower in the bathroom." Han nodded in the direction of the bathroom, "We have a doctor at home."
"Hey, you too, you really don't take care of your body. You are obviously an expecting mother, but you still go out to eat with others. Don't you think it's bad for you to do this? And you are a single man. How are you going to explain this to our Young Master Gu?" Zhou Wenwen muttered to herself and complained.
"Why should I explain to him? What does it have to do with him?" Han snorted with his eyes closed.
"He's your boyfriend, and now he's the father of your child."
"I have broken up with him, don't you know?" Han opened his eyes and said to Zhou Wenwen's face.
