Chapter 994: Tong Rao Fleeing

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yang had initially intended to see Fu Mingxiu’s online lover, but he was surprised to encounter Yan Xi and Tong Rao instead. It looked like they had just recognized each other.

Upon hearing Tong Rao call out to him, Gu Yang walked over to observe the situation up close.

He glanced at Yan Xi and addressed Tong Rao, “Madam Tong, what’s the matter?”

Tong Rao narrowed her eyes at Gu Yang. “Did you inform her of Yan Xi’s identity?”

Clearly, Yan Xi had known her identity for some time, but given her resources, she wouldn’t have uncovered it on her own. The only plausible explanation was that Gu Yang had revealed it to her.

The three billion yuan penalty was clearly beyond Yan Xi’s means alone; it must have been orchestrated by Gu Yang.

Gu Yang admitted candidly, “Yes. After all, she’s an employee of my father’s company.”

Tong Rao frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Gu Yang blinked, puzzled. “Are we close enough for you to expect me to share such information? Besides, you never told me that Tong Wan is my biological mother. Why should I tell you?”

Tong Rao was taken aback. While it was true, she felt uncomfortable with the directness of Gu Yang’s response.

She had always considered herself supportive of Gu Yang and wanted to nurture her as a successor.

With a slightly frosty tone, Tong Rao said, “Three billion yuan is excessive. You wouldn’t want this to go to court, would you?”

“Madam Tong,” Gu Yang replied with a smile, “this is a matter between Yan Xi and Zhaofeng Entertainment. You don’t seem to have the standing to take this to court.”

Gu Yang turned to Yan Xi. “Yan Xi, do you think three billion yuan is too much?”

Yan Xi shook her head, playing along. “It’s not too much! I’ll be very valuable in the entertainment industry in the future!”

As Tong Rao’s gaze grew increasingly hostile, Gu Yang shrugged and smiled. “Madam Tong, as you can see, neither party objects.”

Tong Rao studied Gu Yang intently. Ultimately, concerned about her own status, she turned to Yan Xi with a cold glare. “Do you really enjoy being in the entertainment industry? Is it all just about seeking attention?”

Yan Xi’s smile faltered.

Anyone would be displeased if their dreams were insulted in such a manner.

Gu Yang was taken aback by the depth of Tong Rao’s prejudice. “Madam Tong, don’t you have any hobbies or dreams? Pursuing what you love is about fulfilling yourself. Why should you care about others’ opinions?”

Yan Xi added, “There are countless professions, and each one can produce outstanding individuals. What matters is that I enjoy my work. Until I achieve my dreams, I’m staying in the entertainment industry.”

Tong Rao stared at the determination in the eyes of the two girls and seemed momentarily taken aback. After a long pause, she asked, “Are you sure I won’t take out three billion?”

Yan Xi was stunned and glanced at Gu Yang in panic.

Could Tong Rao really be so wealthy that she could casually part with three billion yuan?

Gu Yang’s smile remained unchanged. Raising an eyebrow slightly, she said, “I believe the Tong family is incredibly wealthy. Family Head Tong, I’m sure you can easily afford three billion yuan. If you can provide it now, I’ll ensure Yan Xi can terminate her contract immediately and accept your guidance wholeheartedly.”

Yan Xi thought, Thank you, Gu Yang.

Gu Yang looked at Tong Rao with an expectant grin. “The atmosphere has reached this point. Family Head Tong, aren’t you going to give me a black card?”

Tong Rao gave Gu Yang a penetrating look before pulling Yan Xi’s arm and walking away.

It would be madness for her to actually hand over a black card worth three billion.

Gu Yang felt a twinge of regret. “Family Head Tong, please reconsider. Our Zhaofeng Entertainment will always be here for you.”

Tong Rao quickened her pace.

Once in the car, she glanced coldly at Yan Xi. “So be it. From now on, you’re the daughter of the Tong family. Don’t bring shame upon me.”

With that, she closed her eyes and fell into a contemplative silence.

Yan Xi was left stunned. Was that it?
