Breaking a Couple in Every World (QT)

 

Nobody would have ever dreamed that the scene of those two, Gao Lang and Li Huaiqing, talking to each other had been filmed by someone and sent to the company group chat.

 

Bai Duoduo was also in this group chat, but there were too many members, and she never spoke. Everyone thought she had withdrawn from it.

 

Bai Duoduo was at the supermarket, picking up the ingredients to use in a live stream tonight. She took her phone and accidentally clicked on the company group chat. Upon seeing that the screen was full of “ahhh”s, she scrolled up out of curiosity and looked at the video.

 

After clicking on it, Bai Duoduo was stunned. Although reason told her to believe Gao Lang, and though she knew he wouldn’t wrong her, the two people in the video behaved so intimately, so ambiguously.

 

Bai Duoduo remembered that before she came into the picture, Gao Lang and Li Huaiqing were recognized as a couple in everyone’s eyes. Li Huaiqing was more beautiful than her, more educated than her, and more intelligent than her. Was Gao Lang really not moved by her?

 

Bai Duoduo fell into a deep pit of self-doubt, standing there for a long time without moving.

 

“Sorry, please let me through,” someone behind her said.

 

Bai Duoduo quickly moved away.

 

If Gao Lang knew what Bai Duoduo was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out the injustice. It was obviously the light of the knife and the shadow of the sword; how could it possibly be ambiguous, how could it possibly be intimate?

[Describe the environment is full of dangerous atmosphere]

 

Gao Lang glared at Li Huaiqing. “You!”

 

Li Huaiqing was not to be outdone—after she threw away her love for Gao Lang, she looked at him and the more she looked, the more she felt that Gao Lang was a hateful, narrow-minded, petty man.

 

Li Huaqing cried weakly, “Uncle!”

 

Gao Lang returned to his senses. He found that the current situation seemed inappropriate, so he quickly stepped back.

 

Papa Gao looked at the sisters with a smile. “Huairou and Huaiqing, you’re here? Come in!”

 

Li Huaiqing pushed Li Huairou in.

 

Gao Lang contemplated, then followed after them, regardless of Papa Gao’s cold eyes.

 

The door of the office was closed, and onlookers couldn’t see the commotion anymore, so they had to disperse, move to the company group chat, and discuss at full throttle.

 

Papa Gao smiled. “Lawyer Li has already prepared everything, so you just need to cooperate with Secretary Li.”

[Lawyer Li and Secretary Li are different person, both have same surname]

 

Li Huairou gave a timid glance at Gao Lang. ” Uncle, we can’t take this share. Also Gao Lang-ge has let us know that those things that don’t belong to us are too hot to handle.”

 

As soon as these sentences were spoken, the rest of the peoples’ expressions changed.

 

Gao Lang didn’t expect Li Huairou to have heard what he said and then speak it out. He immediately glared at her.

 

Papa Gao was very angry ,pointing a trembling hand at Gao Lang. “I’m not dead yet! Lawyer Li, hurry up!”

 

Lawyer Li had been standing beside him, feigning ignorance, without saying a word. He quickly took the prepared documents out.

 

Papa Gao looked at Li Huaiqing. “Huaiqing, Huairou. Over the years, your aunt and I have always treated you as our biological daughters. When we were sick, both of you took care of us and accompanied us day and night. You two sisters have brought us so much happiness and joy—this is what you deserve. You don’t have to bear any burdens, just accept it. In the future, after my death, not only your aunt’s shares, but also my shares will be divided equally among the three of you,” Papa Gao explained emotionally, his eyes all red.

 

“Uncle!” Li Huaiqing was surprised; Li Huairou was also surprised. Although Papa Gao also gave shares to Li Huaiqing in the novel, it wasn’t as much as now.

 

“Huaiqing, refusing means that you don’t treat your uncle as family! Alright, hurry up and sign!” Papa Gao insisted.

 

Li Huaiqing still wanted to refuse, but Li Huairou tugged her arm. “Jie, take it, it’s Uncle and Auntie’s regards, after all.”

 

Papa Gao smiled. “Right, we’re family. Why be regarded as an outsider?”

 

Li Huaiqing lowered her head for a moment, then nodded. In any case, she’d accept it for now—at worst, she’d find a suitable time in the future and return it.

 

Gao Lang didn’t expect them to actually accept. He went out while slamming the door.

 

Papa Gao sneered. ” Leave him be!”

 

In the elevator, Li Huaiqing sighed, “Huairou, why did you accept those shares? I always get the feeling that this isn’t right. We’re not short on money. Why bother?”

 

“Jie, Uncle must have his own purpose in doing this. We’ve been in the Gao family for so many years and Uncle’s never mentioned the shares, so why is he giving it to us now? Isn’t it because Gao Lang’s recent performance upset Uncle? Gao Lang’s bringing his girlfriend home quietly is not only a humiliation for you, but also a humiliation for Uncle. You and I know how good Uncle and Auntie are to us—even though we can’t be a family, they’ve always hoped Gao Lang would take care of us, considering we grew up together. But look at Gao Lang now. Isn’t it impossible? Uncle is also doing this for our own good,” Li Huairou analyzed.

 

Li Huaiqing sighed.

 

Li Huairou continued, “Uncle is kind. If you refuse, wouldn’t it make him sad? Refusing again and again—what would uncle think of that? We’ll just be with them more often and more filial to them in the future.”

 

Li Huaiqing was persuaded. “What you said makes sense.” Then she smiled again. “I didn’t really want those shares. But looking at Gao Lang’s expression, how come I feel so happy! Say, why didn’t I find him so narrow-minded before!”

 

Li Huairou smiled. Very good, she finally had some other emotions. “The one on the spot is baffled. I’ve known about it for a long time. Because I’m the youngest, Uncle and Auntie like me more, and I don’t always follow him like you do. He finds fault with me a lot.”

[Meaning that those closely involved can’t see clearly]

 

“Really? Did he do anything to you?” Li Huaiqing asked nervously.

 

“It’s nothing. Just giving me a little trouble, saying there are ghosts in the house, scaring me. It’s all trivial stuff,” Li Huairou explained indifferently.

 

Li Huaiqing’s expression turned dark. “When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Huairou had been timid since childhood—how could Gao Lang do this!

 

“It happened that year when we joined the Gao family. It’s already passed, so don’t take it to heart,” Li Huairou said without batting an eye. In fact, this was nothing. Li Huaiqing wouldn’t confront Gao Lang anyway; Li Huairou just wanted to completely break off Li Huaiqing’s thoughts about him.

 

Li Huaiqing frowned. Why hadn’t she found Gao Lang this bad? No wonder Huairou never got close to Gao Lang! Was she blind before? Otherwise, how could she fall in love with him! No, why did she ever take a fancy to Gao Lang?

 

“Okay, Jie, I’m hungry. Let’s call Auntie to eat at Fengyuan! Call Uncle too,” Li Huairou called.

 

Li Huaiqing smiled. “Okay, you call Auntie and I’ll call Fengyuan to make a reservation.”

 

After a while, Mama Gao came in a hurry. “Where is Lao Gao? Why hasn’t he come down yet?”

[Lao with surname is a way to address someone you close with also sometime use as nickname]

 

“Uncle will come down right away,” Li Huaiqing replied with a smile.

 

As they were talking, Papa Gao came down. The group of people excitedly got into the car and went to Fengyuan.

 

Gao Lang was angry and decided to find a time to have a good, calm chat with Papa Gao. If his parents really felt that they owed Li Huaiqing and her sister, it was alright to give money, houses, or shops. Even if they wanted to give shares, a symbolic offer was okay. But how could they give so much!

 

However, he rushed into an empty room.

 

Upon inquiring, found out that his parents, Li Huaiqing, and her sister went to eat at Fengyuan.

 

Gao Lang was furious. What kind of family was this? Not caring about their own son, but treating others as their own.

 

He was furious. He felt that if this continued, his parents would really become someone else’s parents. He was afraid that even the company would become someone else’s.

 

Gao Lang immediately took out his cellphone and called Bai Duoduo. “Duoduo, where are you? I’ll pick you up to eat at Fengyuan.”

 

“President Gao, you made an appointment with Phaeton’s President Qi for lunch at noon,” Assistant Chen interjected anxiously.

 

“Help me push it down, make an appointment another day,” Gao Lang ordered without looking back.

 

He was immersed in his emotions and did not hear Bai Duoduo’s objections and low spirits.

 

After picking up Bai Duoduo, Gao Lang immediately drove to Fengyuan.

 

Bai Duoduo sat in the co-pilot and sighed softly. “Alright, why did you want to eat at Fengyuan? How expensive!” Fengyuan’s food tasted good, but it was too pricey.

 

“My parents and Li Huaiqing went there. I can’t let those sisters monopolize their attention. Duoduo, listen to me—put aside your live stream for now. During this time, be close to my parents and please them. You don’t know this, but my mother has allocated all the shares in her name to Li Huaiqing and her sister. My dad also said that when he dies, the shares will be divided into three parts! How could they be so close!” Gao Lang explained with a gloomy expression.

 

Bai Duoduo smiled bitterly. What was she going to do? How do you please and get close to someone?! They’ve had warm, familial bonds for so many years, then Bai Duoduo just randomly comes in—how could she compare with them!

 

What’s more, why should she please others? She wasn’t the kind of woman who was greedy and aimed for the Gao family’s fortune. Why should she mistreat herself and please others!

 

When they reached the place, Gao Lang took off his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car, only to see Bai Duoduo sitting motionlessly.

 

“Duoduo, we’ve arrived. Come down,” Gao Lang called softly.

 

“I don’t want to go!” Bai Duoduo declared with a blank face.

 

Gao Lang realized that something wasn’t right with Bai Duoduo’s mood. “Duoduo, what’s wrong?”

 

“I don’t want to mistreat myself and please anyone, do you understand?” Bai Duoduo stated. “If there’s affection, people will get along well. If there’s dislike, people will at least treat each other like a guest. Why do you have to force me?!”

 

“Duoduo, did I not explain clearly? They’re my parents, what’s wrong with them? Moreover, it’s related to the issue of shares now. You don’t want me to be constrained in the future, right?” Gao Lang appealed.

 

“First of all, I don’t think that Uncle and Auntie will violate your authority and hand the company over to someone who has no blood ties to them. A little share can’t affect you. Second of all, I’ve also heard that you’ve been busy with your studies and the company. The two sisters have accompanied Uncle and Auntie all these years and have long been regarded as relatives—I don’t think I can replace them. Third of all, I have my own business, and I don’t want to give it up to do useless work,” Bai Duoduo listed out calmly.

 

Gao Lang looked at Bai Duoduo with disappointment. He had thought that they were of the same mind and that Duoduo would think from his point of view.

 

It turned out that he was wrong.

 

The two broke up unhappily.
