Hai Tang listened silently. She picked up two cups of water, one in front of the chattering Yu Lu, and the other in her hands.
Hai Tang, donât do this kind of thing again. Iâm really thinking about youâ¦â Yu Lu said.
Hearing this, Hai Tang couldnât take it anymore and smashed the cup on the table. She asked in a deep voice,ââYou keep saying that youâre thinking for me.
Why are you always saying things that hinder me?â
âClang!â The glass cup made a crisp sound when it hit the counter. Hai Tangâs current appearance was different from the weak and easily bullied Hai Tang that Yu Lu usually knew. She was momentarily stunned by Hai Tangâs imposing manner.
Hai Tang stared at her and said somewhat angrily,ââFrom the moment I entered the door, you started to interrupt my conversation with the guests. They were sincerely asking for cooperation, but you criticized them and said some strange things that made me uncomfortable.â
âIf you really want the best for me, why donât you let me give it a try first and do a good job?â she asked after a pause. Your every move is not like my friend, but like someone who hates me!â
With Gu Yunâs encouragement and support, Hai Tang understood that a positive relationship was not about suppression and belittling. Just as she did not want to tolerate Yu Heng anymore, she did not want to tolerate Yu Lu at this moment.
Yu Lu had no room to retort. She could only defend herself emptily,âl didnât want to stop you. Hai Tang, you must have misunderstood me!â
The more Hai Tang spoke, the more she felt that something was wrong. She continued,ââAnd yesterday, when you arrived at my house, you started to belittle what I did and asked me not to open a shop anymore. But I became famous because I designed a very good gown. Shouldnât you be happy for me?
Yet, you look as if youâre facing a great enemy. What are your intentions?â After saying that, Hai Tang looked at Yu Lu angrily. Although she was angry, she also hoped that Yu Lu could give her a reasonable explanation and eliminate the misunderstanding between them.
She still had a good impression of Yu Lu in her heart.
Yu Lu was stunned for a while before she stuttered and replied in a soft tone, âHai Tang, donât be angry with me. I was just thinking about you. I was too worried and went overboard. I didnât do it on purpose. Please forgive me.â
Seeing Hai Tangâs expression change, she said pitifully, ââ1 treat you as my best friend. How could I bear to hurt you? Since you want to make a name for yourself, I wonât stop you anymore. I hope this matter wonât affect our relationship, okay?â
Hai Tang was originally still angry, but under Yu Luâs pleading, her attitude softened quite a bit.
Hai Tang decided to give her another chance, so her expression softened and she said,ââAlright, just donât belittle me like that anymore. Yu Heng treated me like that before, and I was a little sensitive just now.â
âOkay, okay. Iâm different from Yu Heng. âA fake smile appeared on Yu Luâs face.
The tense atmosphere between the two of them had dissipated quite a bit. Yu Lu and Hai Tang chatted for a while. After Yu Lu talked about some things in the past, Hai Tangâs attitude had clearly eased.
Yu Lu did not forget the purpose of her visit to Hai Tang. After finishing the previous topic, Yu Lu approached Hai Tang mysteriously and said,âIâve actually heard some rumors recently, but I didnât dare to tell you. I think youâll definitely be sad if you hear them.â
Hai Tang was attracted by her words and frowned slightly.âWhat?â
â I canât say. You definitely wonât be able to accept itâ¦â Yu Lu kept him in suspense.
Sure enough, Hai Tang urged anxiously,ââ If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. Itâs okay.â
âAiya, then I can only say it.â Seeing Hai Tang take the bait, Yu Lu was secretly delighted. She then whispered,âI heard from others that your husband, Gu Yun, seems to be having an affairâ¦â
Hai Tang was stunned. She had indeed misunderstood Gu Yun the last time.
Later, she found out that the female employee named Su Sen had done it on purpose, causing her to misunderstand Gu Yun and say harsh words to him.
Thus, Hai Tang was mentally prepared this time and was not in a hurry to believe Yu Luâs words. Instead, she asked, ââIs there any evidence that Gu Yun is having an affair?â
