On the way back, Hai Tang kept thinking about what had happened on the show.
Thinking hard to no avail, she could not help but say to Gu Yun,âGu Yun, do you think Iâm too weak and incompetent sometimes?â
Without waiting for Gu Yun to reply, she nagged again,â I wasnât particularly angry when she scolded me. The main thing was that she humiliated you in front of so many people. I thought about it and felt that perhaps I shouldnât have let her off so easily. Your dignity needs to be protected too. If I did that, wouldnât I embarrass youâ¦â
Gu Yun shook his head.â No, no one will take Xu Liuâs words as an insult to me. They only think that sheâs crazy.â
Hai Tang nodded in realization. Indeed, when there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, neither the person involved nor the bystanders would take the words of an unremarkable person to heart.
âThen did I not handle it well? I think I was too soft-hearted. After all, with Xu Liuâs personality, she might think of ways to take revenge on me in the future. Iâve indirectly caused us trouble.âHai Tang said with some self-blame.
Todayâs events were beyond her past experiences. Hai Tang could not help but start to think about her principles.
She could feel that Xu Liu dared to make things difficult for her in public because she was too easy to bully.
Gu Yun pondered for a moment. He did not want to interfere too much with Hai Tangâs personal thoughts. He hoped that Hai Tang would grow up on her own, and he would only give her reminders and inspirations.
Benevolence is the power of the strong,â he said.â As long as you are stronger than her and make her fear you, the things you worry about wonât happen.â
Just like today, Gu Yun had been worried about Hai Tangâs emotions from the beginning to the end, not how to deal with Xu Liu.
Hai Tang nodded, not fully understanding. She roughly understood what Gu Yun wanted to teach her, and she needed to digest this matter.
Seeing Xu Liu, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask, walk out of the small door of the venue, Yu Heng lowered the window and said impatiently to Xu Liu, âWhy do you want me to pick you up? Didnât I say that I was racing with my brothers?â
Seeing that Xu Liu was about to walk in, he said in a low voice with some displeasure, âTang Tang is still sensible. She never lets me do anything troublesome.â
Xu Liu opened the car door and said in a hoarse voice,ââWeâre a couple. Shouldnât you come and pick me up? Could it be that youâre only with me because of those photos?â
When he heard Xu Liu mention the bed photo again, Yu Heng felt a little guilty and quickly denied, âOf course not. Sigh, Iâm just complaining.â
He was threatened by Xu Liu and was afraid that Xu Liu would show his bed photo to Hai Tang if she was unhappy, so he could only temporarily coax her.
Yu Hengâs countermeasure was to influence Xu Liu first. After Xu Liu let down her guard against him, he would take the bed photo from her. When there was no evidence, he could deny his relationship with Xu Liu.
And after he got Hai Tang back, he lied to Hai Tang that he had announced to the public that he was with Xu Liu just to make her jealous. In fact, nothing had happened.
Anyway, Hai Tang had always been simple, and Yu Heng felt that he could easily deceive everyone.
After making up his mind, Yu Heng turned his head to look at Xu Liuâs expression, only to find that after she took off her sunglasses and mask, her eyes were red and swollen, and there were tears on her face.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked in shock. Who bullied you?â
Xu Liu was too embarrassed to tell Yu Heng that she had failed to humiliate Hai Tang and was taught a lesson instead. She choked and said,ââ When I was on the runway today, I saw Hai Tang and her husband. Perhaps because Iâm your girlfriend, Hai Tang humiliated me in front of so many people, and her husband used his power to oppress meâ¦â
As she spoke, she pretended to cry in grievance.
Yu Heng frowned.â Her husband? Gu Yun? Wait, you said Hai Tang humiliated you? It shouldnât be. Why would she do such a thing?â
âIâm your girlfriend. If they humiliate me, theyâre also humiliating you! Youâre still speaking up for Hai Tang. Do you still like her?âXu Liu complained.
Yu Hengâs heart skipped a beat and he quickly denied, âSince Iâm with you, of course I like you more! I⦠I just hate her for her actions. Moreover, she betrayed me. Why would I speak up for her?â Xu Liu wiped her tears..â
