Chapter : 02
The Rich Young Master’s Ex-Girlfriend (2)
Tang Guo returned the fountain pen to Leng Ziyue, picked up the check, and blew on it as if to dry the ink.
Leng Ziyue let out a breath of relief. Tang Guo accepting his gift made him feel much better. Although Xiao Guo seemed a little off today, he could only attribute it to how deeply he had hurt her.
He had treated Xiao Guo as a substitute for Lu Qi, and he really had hurt her.
“Xiao Guo, I’m the one who wronged you. If you ever need anything in the future, just call me.”
Tang Guo set the check on the table, took another sip of milk tea, and then said, “Anytime?”
“Yeah.”
“Then… can I call even when you and your girlfriend are making love?”
Leng Ziyue: “…” Was Xiao Guo driven crazy by anger?
Clearly, Tang Guo wasn’t hung up on that question. She waved the check in her hand. “I can cash this anytime?”
“Yes.”
As for her earlier comment, Leng Ziyue chalked it up to her losing her mind over the breakup. He could forgive her for saying that. But just as he finished answering, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the amount written on the check and froze completely.
“Xiao Guo, how much did you fill in?” Leng Ziyue asked nervously.
Based on his understanding of Tang Guo, even if she was furious enough to take something from him, it would be at most a few million. If he wasn’t mistaken, the amount on there was fifty million, right?
He asked uncertainly, “Fifty million?”
“Yeah,” Tang Guo said matter-of-factly. “Didn’t you tell me to fill it in myself as compensation? What, you think it’s too much?” Tang Guo furrowed her delicate brows. “Having second thoughts?”
“No, no, I’m not reluctant, I…” Leng Ziyue looked a bit embarrassed. “Fifty million is a large sum. Cashing it out might not get you that much. You can cash itāit should be around thirty million.”
“Is that so?” Tang Guo relaxed her brow. “I thought you were having second thoughts. Since you’re not, I’m relieved. Then give me a check for thirty million, and write me an IOU for the other twenty million.”
Leng Ziyue: “…” Xiao Guo, has she really gone mad?
It must be because he hurt her too deeply. He’d heard that once women lose love, they obsessively fall in love with money.
He couldn’t give her love, so he could only compensate her with money.
Even though fifty million was too much, Leng Ziyue immediately did as Tang Guo said. As long as it helped Xiao Guo calm downāhe genuinely felt sorry for this innocent girl.
Leng Ziyue worked quickly, filling out both the check and the IOU before handing them to Tang Guo.
Tang Guo took them without ceremony and tucked them into her wallet. After one last sip of milk tea, she stood up. “I’m leaving. Remember to pay the bill when you’re done.”
[Host, you’ve really lost it. Have you forgotten the worlds you’ve already wrecked? Are you going to repeat the same mistakes? Host, you’ve changed. You used to be obedient, following the plot to complete one cannon-fodder mission after another.
Host, I don’t even recognize you anymore.
As a dutiful system, I must warn you: you’d better complete your missions properly, or one day you’ll be erased.]
Tang Guo walked out of the milk tea shop, completely ignoring the chaotic voice in her head. She raised her hand to hail a cab, opened the door, sat down, and closed itāall in one smooth motion.
“Driver, to the nearest bank.”
[Host, what are you doing? Calm down! Don’t do anything recklessāI’m begging you!]
Tang Guo took off her sunglasses, a faint, elusive smile playing at the corners of her lips. “Withdrawing cash. Didn’t Leng Ziyue just give me a check for thirty million?”
