Chapter 421: Thoughtful Arrangement

I ask you, what exactly happened this time? And before, weren't these matters already covered up? Why did you suddenly get kicked out today?

Dad, actually, actually it's him, he discovered it.

Discovered? Wasn't it already discovered that day? What else hasn't been discovered? Could it be that you're still hiding something from him?

Dad, it's me, it's the evidence that Zhao Yixuan and I were together, and also our hotel records, all of which he has already obtained.

You, what are you saying?

Geng Tianhua stared wide-eyed in surprise; he never imagined such a thing would happen to him.

Dad, I, I really know I was wrong, but what should we do now?

Hehe, I had already advised you long ago not to do such a thing, but I never expected you would actually do it.

Old Geng, don't say these things now; first think about how to remedy this situation.

Enough, stop talking; hurry upstairs, pack our documents, book the earliest flight, and leave the country immediately, never to return.

What are you saying? No, not come back? We have to give the Xiao family an explanation.

Seek an explanation? On what grounds would you approach them, especially when it's clearly your daughter who strayed? What face do you have to confront them? Moreover, Xiao Ming might use any means against us; staying here would be a dead end.

After saying that, Geng Tianhua turned and headed upstairs.

Although Sun Xuehua said she was unwilling, she now heard every word he said very clearly.

He merely let out a long sigh; perhaps things should be this way, and he had already reached an irredeemable point.

Mom, help me speak; tell me what I should do.

Geng Jing Shu watched Sun Xuehua also turn to leave; at that moment she suddenly felt like a lone widow, with no one left to help her.

Geng Jing Shu, this is self-inflicted doom; now, because of you, we're forced to have the whole family leave. Geng Jing Shu, you truly make me look at you anew.

After saying that, Geng Jing Shu collapsed and sat helplessly on the ground.

As for Zhao Yixuan, he naturally would face due legal punishment; that very night, several key figures in the company were already arrested, awaiting the final legal sanction.

Xiao Yun Zhe stood alone by the riverbank, taking a deep breath; he truly felt as if the whole world were betraying him, a feeling he could not bear.

As the forlorn figure stood there, Xiao Yunzhe felt someone suddenly press against his back and tightly encircle his waist.

He wondered strangely if it was Geng Jing Shu who had found him; so Xiao Yunzhe hurriedly turned his head, only to see Zong Mengni appear before him instead.

Mengni, what are you doing here?

Enough, Yunzhe, don't say anything; I've already heard from your father about what happened to you. I truly sympathize, but I also hope you keep looking forward and never give up.

Hehe, Mengni, you've misunderstood; do you think I'm standing here by the river preparing to jump?

Then isn't that the case?

Zong Mengni merely widened her eyes in surprise; having seen this scene when she arrived, she hurriedly flung herself into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist, hoping he would not take that step.

No, how could I possibly be that foolish? Moreover, for such a woman I truly don't deserve to do this; I have already completely severed ties with him, with no remaining connection. Yesterday he sent me a final message saying he and his parents have already moved abroad, and from now on we will have no further contact.

Oh, you mean Geng Jing Shu has left, right? If so, that should be the best outcome for you.

Mengni.

After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe suddenly reached out and firmly grasped Zong Mengni's hand.

Actually Zong Mengni had wanted to struggle, but this time she did not, because she knew Xiao Yunzhe perhaps needed a spiritual reliance.

What's wrong?

Actually, actually from the time I met you, I began to feel I might like you, but back then, with Geng Jing Shu around, I didn't want to betray her; now the outcome is different—she betrayed me, and I too am like a lone widow.

Hehe, what do you mean by saying all this now?

It means nothing; I also hope you can give me a chance.

After saying that, Zong Mengni said nothing more; she lowered her head, smiled with pursed lips, and then took Xiao Yunzhe's hand from her palm.

At that moment Xiao Yunzhe suddenly felt nervous; could it be that Zong Mengni harbors no such feelings for him at all? Or perhaps it's merely his own wishful thinking?

Mengni, what's wrong with you? Well, if you disagree, then we'll still treat each other as friends.

Hehe, if you want to be with me, is it that a couple of casual words from you would make me be with you? Don't you know how to pursue a girl?

You, what are you saying?

Enough, I don't want to talk about this anymore; tomorrow I have to go early to the factory. If you're sincere, then come pick me up at my house on time tomorrow, and remember my favorite is Ma Ji's xiaolongbao.

Zong Mengni left her final words, then turned and got directly into her car.

Xiao Yunzhe stood there, waiting foolishly for half a day, only then realizing he had indeed given himself a chance.

He happily stood by the riverbank and then excitedly shouted aloud.

Meanwhile, on a distant bridge, a person stood calmly, observing all of this.

Indeed, that person is Xiao Ming; all the opportunities tonight were created by Xiao Ming, and he could also see that Xiao Yunzhe and Zong Mengni seemed truly a match made in heaven.

Hehe, General Manager Xiao, you must be satisfied now, and the future daughter-in-law is practically in hand—aren't you especially happy?

Assistant Ma said with a smile.

That's natural; seeing them reach such an outcome, I am truly relieved.

General Manager Xiao, if that's the case, then all grudges have been settled, the JK Group has been completely wiped out—shouldn't you consider your personal affairs now?

He raised the point again, but Xiao Ming turned his head and merely smiled at him.

Everything is predestined by heaven; when fate arrives, perhaps even if I wanted to hide, I couldn't escape.

After Xiao Ming spoke those words with deep meaning, he then vanished into the far end of the bridge...
