Chapter 193: Diabolical CV Big Shot 42

 "Genuine love? My silly daughter, you're far too naive! Did you see his attitude toward you just now? He doesn't seem to love you sincerely at all! Instead of taking advantage of the fact that he's still somewhat interested in you to grab more benefits, you're actually holding out hope for true love? What a joke!" Tang Chi's mother sneered with utter disdain.

When she was young, she had frequented rich circles herself, and she knew the true faces of these wealthy men better than anyone!

They would never marry a woman who lacked match making value into their families; at most, they would merely keep her as a mistress on the side!

Poked in the heart by her biological mother, Tang Chi's expression turned increasingly pale.

Before long, however, she adopted a pleading look: "Mom, can you please stop being like this? Yunshen is different from those playboys! We are genuinely in love!"

"Hmph! Of course I wish he truly loved you! But the reality is, he's just playing around with you! Though I don't care about any of that—as long as you give me money, do whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Tang Chi bit her lip, then pulled her wallet out of her bag.

Seeing this, her mother rushed forward in an instant, snatched the wallet straight out of her hand, and deftly pocketed all the money inside, sneering in disgust at the end: "You really are useless—you actually managed to get this tiny amount of money out of him!"

Hearing this, Tang Chi said through gritted teeth: "That's my salary, not money Yunshen gave me!"

She was terrified that Gu Yunshen would think she was a snobbish, materialistic girl, so from the time they began dating until now, she had insisted on never spending a dime of his money.

She never expected that her birth mother's arrival would ruin everything!

How would Yunshen view her now?

Would he think she was just like those other girls who only cared about his wealth?

Thinking of this, Tang Chi felt a wave of sheer panic in her heart.

Snatched her empty wallet back, she said, "Now that the money has been given to you, don't come looking for me unless necessary! If Yunshen breaks up with me, you won't get another cent!"

"Heheh, don't worry, I get it!"

Afterward, Tang Chi hurried off to chase after Gu Yunshen.

By this time, however, Gu Yunshen had already driven far away.

Looking at the empty street, Tang Chi squatted down, her spirit crushed as she buried her face in her hands and wept.

Yunshen... had actually just left her behind like this?

…

Tang Wan still had no idea that the main leads' relationship was already hanging by a thread due to the arrival of Tang Chi's mother.

Because Yang Tong had joined the Tang Corporation, her days lately had been extraordinarily sweet and relaxing.

No longer did she have to worry about being pinned to the bed by a certain beast and crazily demanded upon for half the day; she could also record voice-overs for her favorite scripts to her heart's content.

Describing it as living like an immortal wasn't an exaggeration at all!

Before long, however, Little Cutie popped up to ruin the mood: "Host, aren't you being a bit too laid-back? The mission! Have you forgotten the mission? Yang Tong's favorability score is still short by one point!"

Hearing this, Tang Wan lay sprawled on the sofa eating cherries: "What's the rush? I'm not in a hurry to leave anyway, so there's plenty of time to slowly grind out that last point. Besides, as you well know, Yang Tong's mind is exceptionally difficult to fathom—who knows why he hasn't unreservedly fallen in love with me yet?"

So, she could only wait!

Time would prove everything!

Hearing this, Little Cutie had no choice but to say disappointedly: "You have a point, I suppose."

It seemed he had simply been overly anxious.

After all, the host's previous missions had always gone so smoothly.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed.

It had to be said that the villains were all exceptionally capable individuals. In merely six months, Yang Tong had established a firm foothold within the Tang Corporation, securing two massive contracts for the company in one go—one of which was even snatched right out of the Gu family's jaws!

Thus, Father Tang naturally arranged for him to join the Board of Directors, granting him even greater room to display his talents.
