Oh, dear! Fish me again

Chapter 107 Everyone's love deserves respect

It was the evening of the next day when Tang Shu returned to City A.

The illegitimate daughter of the Gu family patriarch sneaked into the dinner party and stabbed Mrs. Gu several times. This was truly a case of love and hatred between the rich and powerful. Although it caused a lot of noise that night, it was perfectly suppressed in order not to affect the family's reputation and the company's stock price.

But Tang Yuechi always found a way to get the news. As a naturally perceptive businessman, he immediately rushed back to the company to seek benefits from it.

Tang Shu chose the most low-key car in the garage and went to Bar X to find Zhang Li.

The bar was open as usual, but the owner was nowhere to be found.

She couldn't get through to Zhang Li on the phone, and she searched five bars but couldn't find him.

When Tang Shu found Zhang Li's house, it was almost eleven o'clock at night.

She entered the password and entered the door. The large flat on the top floor was pitch black, with no signs of anyone living there. Zhang Li was still not there.

But at this moment, the doorbell rang.

Tang Shu pushed the door open and saw Gu Xinai standing at the door.

The girl's pink hair was dyed a dull black, her face had obvious bruises and scabbed scratches, and she was wrapped in a large men's coat, looking very depressed.

"Why is it you, vixen!?"

Gu Xinai looked hostile when she saw Tang Shu.

Tang Shu came out, closed the door, and asked her,

"Are you looking for Zhang Li? He's not at home. I couldn't find him anywhere..."

The girl looked her up and down, then suddenly sighed.

"I think I know where he is. Come with me."

"Oh."

*

When Gu Xinai said she was walking, she really meant walking.

It was drizzling outside, and she took Tang Shu through the streets at midnight.

She remained silent all the way, with an unfamiliar melancholy on her face, which was completely different from the "arrogant and gloomy" little gangster that Tang Shu saw every time.

"Hey, is it really okay for you to hang around outside like this? Won't the Gu family look for you? Won't the JC arrest you?" Tang Shu asked in a low voice.

Gu Xinai laughed contemptuously, "What does it matter? The Gu family didn't call the police at all. It's just a woman's problem. It won't become a big deal and affect his business."

She turned her head to look at Tang Shu and handed the bag to her.

"I...may go to the south to look for Ning Hao. Please give this document to Zhang Li for me. It's what he wants."

Tang Shu opened it and took a look. The cover said "Voluntary surrender of shares..."

The bus terminal is right on the right. At midnight, dozens of buses are parked silently together. Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, it is very deserted.

Gu Xinai suddenly stopped walking, sat down at the bus stop, and asked Tang Shu to sit with her.

Although Tang Shu was in a hurry, she looked like she was saying, "I don't want to waste time talking to you. You're Zhang Li's vixen. Who else should I talk to?" So she went over and sat down.

*

"I've always known that Zhang Li hates my mother." Gu Xinai said.

Tang Shu asked, "Are you referring to Sister Hong?"

"Well, what if?"

Gu Xinai rolled her eyes and continued,

“On the surface, they were in a cooperative relationship, but my mother didn’t contribute a penny and never took care of anything for a single day, yet she wanted 60% of the profits every month.

For three years, she took advantage of Zhang Lige's request to her, her grandfather's gangster connections and the connections that man gave her, and took him to various dinners and drinking parties...

Zhang Li is so handsome...all those old women and old men have bad intentions..."

"Brother Zhang Li has survived all of this. He seems to smile gently at everyone, but in fact he hates everyone in his heart."

"The day my mother got into trouble, I knew that Brother Zhang Li was ready. He had been patient for so many years and finally accumulated enough strength and finally waited for the opportunity..."

"He wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so I became his knife."

Tang Shu asked her, "You don't hate Zhang Li?"

Gu Xinai's face was horribly clear.

"Why should I hate him? The feud between my mother and that woman from the Gu family wasn't caused by him."

She stood up and continued walking forward, looking at Tang Shu with disgust on her face.

"I really can't understand why they like a vixen like you! What else do you have besides a face? They all look like they're possessed..."

Tang Shu finally figured out the weird feeling that Gu Xinai had tonight.

"So you're not really impulsive and brainless, you've just been pretending to be stupid?"

Gu Xinai rolled her eyes at her again.

"nonsense."

*

"The first time I met Zhang Lige, I was in the sixth grade of elementary school."

Gu Xinai lowered her head and muttered to herself. She seemed to have decided to leave and wanted to get her worries off her chest.

Fortunately, this path was quiet enough, and Tang Shu could hear clearly while walking beside it.

"You know No. 32 Middle School, right? It's on the street in front of the Youth Square. All the students there are hooligans. Only a few can get into regular high schools. It's the worst school... Zhang Li was in the second grade there at the time."

"That day my mother insisted on taking me to the art school, which was next to No. 1 Middle School, so I ran away secretly. Passing by a very remote path, I saw Zhang Li standing there alone. There was nothing there, just a green belt. I didn't know why he was standing there. I asked curiously, but he made a 'silence' gesture to me."

"Later I found out that there was an iron fence around that place, and behind it was the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School. Brother Zhang Li was standing there, listening to the teacher of No. 1 Middle School."

"He is really smart, excellent, and hardworking. Just by eavesdropping, he got full marks in the high school entrance examination and was personally found by the principal of No. 32 Middle School to find No. Middle School..."

"Zhang Li is a legend in the old city. All the girls there love him."

"But he never paid attention to anyone. I was afraid that he would dislike me, so I kept chasing him secretly since I was a child... Until his sophomore year in high school, when he went to work in my mom's bar, I finally had the chance to talk to him..."

When she said this, she suddenly turned around and glared at Tang Shu.

Tang Shu pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "I understand, I understand..."

"You know shit!" Gu Xinai stopped talking.

.....

Walk out from the side path of the shopping mall and arrive under the East Second Ring Road viaduct.

Gu Xinai pointed to the apartment building on the right.

"He often comes over in the middle of the night. I've followed him many times."

Tang Shu looked up. This was the apartment Zhang Li rented after he dropped out of school three years ago.

Seeing her expression, Gu Xinai cursed softly,

"Fuck, this place really has something to do with you!"

Tang Shu admitted it openly, "You can go up with us, aren't you worried about him too?"

Gu Xinai shook her head.

"Mrs. Gu...didn't die. She was revived in the hospital this afternoon...I didn't handle it well. I don't have the face to see him."

“You did a great job!”

Tang Shu suddenly rushed over and hugged her, "If she died, Zhang Li would never be at peace for the rest of his life."

"Just talk if you want to, why are you hugging me!"

Gu Xinai pushed Tang Shu away angrily, "You go up, I'm leaving."

*

Everyone's love deserves respect. Gu Xin'ai's protection for Zhang Li is selfless.

Tang Shu suddenly thought that if she collected enough life points, she could completely break away from the plot of this world and get rid of the halo of the heroine.

Zhang Li and the others might be able to start a new relationship.

So she grabbed Gu Xinai,

"Hey, there's actually no need for you to leave City A. You should understand that the instigator of this tragedy is that man."

She leaned closer and suggested quietly, "If I were you, I would stay at Gu's house and then..."

"Tsk, you really are a vicious and evil woman!"

Gu Xinai listened to Tang Shu's advice and pushed her away again with disgust, threatening fiercely,

"God is so unfair. Brother Zhang Li is such an outstanding person... He has suffered a lot. Tang Shu, please don't let him down, or I will find..."

"Looking for someone to rape me, right? Then you have to stay in City A to do that..."

"I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Gu Xinai turned around and ran away quickly.

*

On the 13th floor, at the end of the corridor, Tang Shu pressed the doorbell three times.

Zhang Li's voice finally came from behind the door, terribly hoarse.

"who."

Tang Shu walked over to the cat's eye with a bright smile on her face.

"Brother Zhang Li, little rabbit, please open the door."

It was as if he was back to three years ago, when Tang Shu had dealt with Tang Jiali and knocked on his door late at night, saying the same thing with a smile.

Zhang Li pushed open the door. The lights were off. He stood in the shadows behind him, his voice still gentle.

"Sorry, Shushu, I forgot about my appointment with you."

He blocked the door and made no move to invite her in.

Tang Shu took a step toward the middle, blocking the door, and raised the plastic bag in her hand and shook it.

"I bought it from the convenience store downstairs. They only have instant noodles... Do you want to eat together?"

Zhang Li didn't say anything. After a while, he asked, "Didn't you have dinner? I asked someone to bring it to you..."

Tang Shu shook her head. "Brother, do you dislike the instant noodles I gave you? You weren't like this before... Men are so fickle..."

"Ah,"

Zhang Li chuckled and finally took a step forward.

Only then did Tang Shu see his face clearly, which was filled with deep fatigue and weariness.

She leaned against the heavy, cold security door behind her, raised her head and smiled softly.

"Zhang Li, you look so sexy with stubble~"

The man belatedly raised his hand and touched his chin, then finally let out a deep sigh.

He reached out, grasped the door handle of the apartment, and pulled the door towards him.

The door lock clicked, and the light in the corridor was tightly blocked.

Tang Shu, who was originally leaning against the inside of the door, fell into his arms because of Zhang Li's action of opening the door.

In the dark entrance, Zhang Li's right hand was still on the door handle, his head lowered, and his left hand pressed Tang Shu tightly against his chest.

"Shushu, why do I feel more lonely after loving you..."

*

Tang Shu thought of the wound on his wrist.

It was just that when he was a child, Mrs. Gu hypocritically loved him and then abandoned him, and Zhang Li hated her for so many years. Three years ago, Tang Shu cheated him of all his love and hope, and then abandoned him. How much did he hate her?

But he loved Tang Shu and couldn't bear to hate her, so he could only choose to hurt himself.

Tang Shu felt a sense of bitterness in her heart. She didn't understand this strange emotion.

I can only comfort you softly.

"Zhang Li, Mrs. Gu is not dead, she is rescued..."

The man's body stiffened and he didn't respond.

So Tang Shu thought about it and asked him again,

"Zhang Li, do you want to do it?"
