Chapter 269
Tang Su smiled, "Liu Liyue, you don’t need to play mind games with me. In terms of business, I’ve seen as much as you have. Openly repairing the plank road while secretly marching through Chen Cang, and all that scheming and trapping people behind their backs, you don’t necessarily have much more than I do. The Tang Family is not something you can afford to mess with. Even if you are a deputy national level official with immense tactics, what about it? Mutual destruction? You’re still not qualified. But since you’ve come anyway, you must have the intention to talk, so just speak clearly. If you continue with these mind games, it’s just a waste of time."
The Luminous Glass Stone in Liu Liyue’s hand spun even faster, suddenly twisting in her hand, suddenly threading through her fingers in a back and forth loop, as if the stone was possessed by a spirit.
"Tang Su, you wouldn’t have to say these things, but since you did, I won’t be polite with you. I’m not a good person, if anything, I’m worse than a bad person, I’m downright crazy. Those officials you mentioned, I’ve seen quite a few of them, maybe not hundreds, but certainly dozens. Some wanted to kill me, some wanted to throw me on the bed, but none of those who had such thoughts are still alive. Tang Su, don’t try to scare me, we’ve all crawled our way out of piles of dead bodies, no one is significantly worse than anyone else. Climbing mountains of knives and plunging into seas of fire sounds terrible, but when that time comes, it’s just a matter of closing your eyes and jumping. Just like you said, how much worse can anyone really be compared to another? If they can’t kill me, they’ll drag me down. If I can’t live comfortably, the Tang Family should not expect to live in ease either."
"Go ahead, the people of the Tang Family have been too comfortable for too long, they need someone to loosen their bones. If you’ve been in a comfortable environment for too long, you forget how the character for ’death’ is written. Your presence might just be the right challenge for those blind youngsters and a wake-up call for the old stubborn ones in the industry. Marrying Ye Tian might not be what they want to see, and if you don’t go, I’m worried they might bomb our house. Go, be bold and confident." Tang Su’s attitude was really eye-opening, if someone were to get a suitable lawyer for this case, it could probably be considered a case for the king of lawsuits.
"Truly worthy of Tang Su, you can even threaten people so effortlessly. But, if anyone else had half the background of the Tang Family, they would probably say the same thing."
"The gap between people is indeed huge. The so-called ’hard work brings rewards’ is just a lie to fool some idiots. In the face of absolute disparity, all efforts are useless, unless you have the support of a powerful patron or a talent that others can’t reach. That said, both you and Ye Tian are really lucky. The saying ’sons of the poor become rich and daughters of the rich become well-cultured’ was proven on both of you. Good talent coupled with a good family background, something that others can’t achieve in eighty years of struggle, you had in your hand the moment you were born." Although she said this, Liu Liyue’s tone did not carry a trace of resentment or unwillingness.
"Indeed, what you’re saying is true. If I were to be pretentious about this, wouldn’t I really become a contemptible person?"
Liu Liyue raised an eyebrow, "So you really believe that this Ye Tian who came out of nowhere is worth entrusting your life to? He’s just a little security guard. Besides fate and love, can you explain it to me?"
"Fate? Maybe it really is fate, I’m not clear about it either," Tang Su looked down at the finely carved pearwood table, lost in thought, "The first time I saw him, it was in my bar, and at that time he was just a little ruffian, specifically targeting young girls. I considered him scum in my heart. Later, this scum took a hit for me, and for the first time let me understand the immense power of conquering the enemy without a fight. Afterwards, he followed me to Tianhe, and in front of the Tan Family, that huge family monster, it was him again, standing in front of me, shielding me from everyone. When he fled from Huaizhou like a homeless dog, I told myself in my heart that if he came to look for me, I would definitely go with him. And when he did come for me, what else could I say? I just followed. I know what he’s thinking, the words ’matching doors and equal households’ make nine out of ten men grit their teeth in hatred, Ye Tian is no exception, but he can bear it. I feel sorry for him. So, I followed him."
"That’s it?"
Tang Su nodded, "He once said, he wanted to watch the starry sky with me, to support each other through thick and thin. What, you don’t believe it?"
