Chapter 102 - 102: Merciful
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,”Gu Yun, do you think I’m too weak and incompetent sometimes?”
Without waiting for Gu Yun to reply, she nagged again,” I wasn’t 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 shouldn’t have let her off so easily. Your dignity needs to be protected too. If I did that, wouldn’t I embarrass you…”
Gu Yun shook his head.” No, no one will take Xu Liu’s words as an insult to me. They only think that she’s crazy.”
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.
“Then did I not handle it well? I think I was too soft-hearted. After all, with Xu Liu’s personality, she might think of ways to take revenge on me in the future. I’ve indirectly caused us trouble.”Hai Tang said with some self-blame.
Today’s 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 Tang’s 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,” he said.” As long as you are stronger than her and make her fear you, the things you worry about won’t happen.”
Just like today, Gu Yun had been worried about Hai Tang’s 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, “Why do you want me to pick you up? Didn’t I say that I was racing with my brothers?”
Seeing that Xu Liu was about to walk in, he said in a low voice with some displeasure, “Tang Tang is still sensible. She never lets me do anything troublesome.”
Xu Liu opened the car door and said in a hoarse voice,””We’re a couple. Shouldn’t you come and pick me up? Could it be that you’re only with me because of those photos?”
When he heard Xu Liu mention the bed photo again, Yu Heng felt a little guilty and quickly denied, “Of course not. Sigh, I’m just complaining.”
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 Heng’s 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 Liu’s 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.
“What’s wrong?” he asked in shock. Who bullied you?”
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,”” When I was on the runway today, I saw Hai Tang and her husband. Perhaps because I’m your girlfriend, Hai Tang humiliated me in front of so many people, and her husband used his power to oppress me…”
As she spoke, she pretended to cry in grievance.
Yu Heng frowned.” Her husband? Gu Yun? Wait, you said Hai Tang humiliated you? It shouldn’t be. Why would she do such a thing?”
“I’m your girlfriend. If they humiliate me, they’re also humiliating you! You’re still speaking up for Hai Tang. Do you still like her?”Xu Liu complained.
Yu Heng’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly denied, “Since I’m 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?” Xu Liu wiped her tears..”
