Chapter 199: Diabolical CV Big Shot 48

 "Everything will be according to Father and Mother-in-law's arrangements," Yang Tong replied with a delightful smile upon hearing this.

"Good, good! Leave this matter entirely to us!" Mother Tang said.

Seeing this, although Tang Wan felt a slight tinge of worry that Yang Tong might become even more unrestrained after their engagement, an involuntary, radiant smile of happiness bloomed across her face.

…

In the blink of an eye, the third day of the third lunar month arrived.

Under Father Tang's invitation, the local prominent families all came to attend Yang Tong and Tang Wan's engagement banquet.

Among them, naturally, was Gu Yunshen.

Although the Gu family and the Tang family were now business rivals, in the commercial world, there were never permanent enemies—only permanent interests.

During this period, although Gu Yunshen had managed to stabilize his position once again, his life was by no means as effortless as before. To secure contracts, going to social dinners and drinking until he threw up had become a regular occurrence.

Naturally, this experience had honed him into someone far more experienced, steady, and ruthless.

In fact, another purpose of his coming to the engagement banquet was to see whether Tang Wan still held feelings for him. That way, he could leverage her to reap numerous advantages.

When Gu Yunshen arrived late and walked into the banquet hall, he happened to see Tang Wan and Yang Tong delivering their speeches on stage.

Tang Wan wore a pink princess dress, looking like a thoroughly pampered princess, while Yang Tong stood beside her—tall, refined, and elegant. The sight of the two of them together looked extraordinarily harmonious and well-matched.

For a moment, Gu Yunshen couldn't help but daze slightly.

He had never expected Tang Wan to smile so sweetly and happily in front of Yang Tong.

In the past, she had only looked at him with that kind of star-filled gaze.

When had she stopped clinging to him and ceased coming to find him altogether?

…

What Gu Yunshen failed to notice, however, was that Yang Tong took in every bit of the dazed expression on his face.

Behind his glasses, a faint cold light flashed across his smiling eyes. After finishing his speech, Yang Tong imprinted a soft, gentle kiss onto Tang Wan's forehead.

He then took her by the hand and led her off the stage to greet the guests below.

When they arrived in front of Gu Yunshen, Yang Tong wrapped an arm around Tang Wan's waist, raising his champagne glass: "Welcome Manager Gu to mine and Wanwan's engagement banquet. How come I don't see your little girlfriend?"

Hearing this, Gu Yunshen's face turned slightly cold, but having long learned to control his tongue, he replied indifferently: "Vice President Yang must be joking. I am still single—where would I get a girlfriend? Wishing you two a happy engagement!"

With those words, his eyes fell upon Tang Wan.

Yet Tang Wan didn't give him so much as a single glance. After he and Yang Tong took a sip of their wine, she directly pulled Yang Tong away with her.

Gu Yunshen couldn't help narrowing his eyes slightly.

Before long, Father Tang stepped onto the stage and announced an explosive piece of news:

He was officially handing management of the Tang Corporation over to Yang Tong while he himself retired.

Hearing this, Yang Tong whispered softly to Tang Wan: "Wanwan, wait for me here. I need to head over for a moment."

"Alright, go on!" Tang Wan nodded.

…

The moment Yang Tong left, Gu Yunshen slipped over.

"Wanwan, do you really like him?" Gu Yunshen looked at her with a deep, inscrutable gaze, his tone low and tender.

This was a voice the original body had longed to hear countless times, but in Tang Wan's ears, it sounded purely hypocritical.

"Aren't you asking a stupid question? I lack nothing—if I didn't like Tongtong, would I get engaged to him?" Tang Wan said coldly.

"Then what about me? Do you no longer love me? Have you completely forgotten about me so quickly?" Gu Yunshen questioned.
