Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The assistant looked into Tang Xiaoyu's eyes. Although she still looked the same as before, the current Tang Xiaoyu looked more attractive. She resembled that woman, and that woman had lived in Gu Zhengrong's heart for a long time.

"There's no need to go in. The person Lady Mary wants to see isn't us. Let's go."

Gu Zhengrong shook his head. The disappointment in his eyes was reflected by the wine glass in Tang Xiaoyu's hand.

"Lady Mary, there seems to be someone at the door."

Tang Xiaoyu's red lips curled up as she looked at the man standing at the door.

"So it's Mr Gu. Looks like we're really fated."

A glint flashed across Tang Xiaoyu's eyes and the gentleness of the wine glass was reflected in his eyes.

"Mr Gu, come in and have a seat."

Hearing Tang Xiaoyu's words, Ma Li turned to look at Gu Zhengrong, who was standing at the door, and gently raised her hand to let him in.

"Mr Gu, what are you doing at the door? Let's talk inside."

Lady Mary's face was filled with gentleness as she looked at him coldly.

"Lady Mary, so you and Miss Tang are here. I just happened to see both of you here. What a coincidence. Why don't we go out for a drink? The auction is about to start."

"There's no need to go out to drink. The alcohol here is enough."

Tang Xiaoyu picked up a glass of red wine from the tray in the waiter's hand. It was the 1982 Lafite. She held it out to Gu Zhengrong with a smile in her eyes. The smile in her eyes seemed to have drifted over from a distant glacier.

"Thank you so much, Miss Tang."

Gu Zhengrong's expression was stiff as he took the glass of red wine from Tang Xiaoyu's hands. Seeing the light of the wine, his view of Tang Xiaoyu changed once again. This woman seemed to be more powerful than he had imagined.

Indeed, once a woman became serious, there was nothing a man could compare to her.

Moreover, Gu Zhengrong was currently facing two powerful women.

"Mr Gu, are you looking down on this glass of red wine?"

Seeing that Gu Zhengrong only raised his cup but did not take a sip, Tang Xiaoyu's heart was filled with satisfaction.

"Why would I look down on this glass of red wine? Miss Tang, you really like to joke around. I was just thinking that this glass of red wine must have great effects to make you two beauties love it so much that you can't bear to part with it. As a layman of red wine, shouldn't I learn from it?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Is Mr Gu a layman of red wine?"

Tang Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at Gu Zhengrong, who was standing in front of her. There was no trace of friendship in her heart anymore. During those days that she could not forget, every word and expression of Gu Zhengrong's could cause her immense pain and suffering.

However, Gu Zhengrong did not feel anything.

"I…"

"Mr Gu, do you know what we are bidding for today? Perhaps Mr Gu is only trying to gain more benefits for your boss and earn more profits because you are a businessman. Earning money is the way of businessmen. But as a humanitarian, I think that this manor not only feeds on sweet fruits, but also…"

Tang Xiaoyu continued to say a lot of things that Gu Zhengrong could not explain, but Lady Mary, who was beside him, sounded even more impressed.

What Lady Mary needed was not only a considerable value, but also the position of this manor in the minds of the bidders because this manor was also a beautiful memory of Lady Mary. However, because she was going abroad with her loving husband, she had no choice but to sell it.

"Xiaoyu, you said a lot. I really like you."

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Lady Mary rarely showed her appreciation. Initially, she had a good impression of Gu Zhengrong, but now, it seemed that Tang Xiaoyu was better.

"Lady Mary, I—"

Gu Zhengrong still wanted to explain. He had already been tortured by Tang Xiaoyu once, and this was the second time. He could no longer be tormented by this woman whom he had once looked down on. However, he had no choice. The final decision was by Lady Mary, not him.

"You don't have to say anymore, Mr Gu. The proposal that you gave me previously was also very good, but Miss Tang had already told me about it yesterday. The proposal that she came up with was even better than yours and even more valuable for promotion. Don't misunderstand."

"Lady Mary, are you sure you don't want to think about it further? The price I'm offering you is definitely the highest among them."

"Mr Gu, your price is indeed very high, but you are destroying the foundation of the manor. I don't need your money because this manor means a lot to me. Let me tell you this, what Miss Tang moved me was not her plan but her words, "the memories of a place will never be recovered". This is the result I want. You gave me nothing but money, but I can choose not to take your money."

"So, there's no room for negotiation?"

A hint of anger was hidden in Gu Zhengrong's eyes as he looked at Tang Xiaoyu. However, he could not release it. As long as he saw her face, all his anger would disappear.

The only thing on his mind was Tang Xiaoyu's aggrieved look when she left. Compared to the current Tang Xiaoyu, the current Tang Xiaoyu's eyes shone with confidence, but Gu Zhengrong could not help but think of the girl whose eyes were filled with love and hurt.

The girl who had foolishly waited by her side for him.

"Mr Gu, perhaps you can also understand how important a place is to a person's memories. Your money may be omnipotent in other places, but here, I want to tell you that there are many things in this world that are more interesting than money, such as love and our lives."

Gu Zhengrong appeared defeated as he stood in front of Tang Xiaoyu and Lady Mary.

Lady Mary's words "such as love and our lives' suddenly pierced Gu Zhengrong's chest. It was the woman he had always thought of.
