Winter Blazing Wild

"Brother...sister?"

When Yu Tang heard these two words, he was shocked for a moment.

As an only child who was raised with all the love and material things by her mother and grandmother, Yu Tang has taken every step for herself in the past twenty years. She really cannot empathize with the existence of siblings like "brothers and sisters".

It is even more incomprehensible that we have to pay such a huge price for them.

"Why should you be responsible for their lives? Your sister is sick, and perhaps you could give her some money for treatment out of humanitarian consideration, but why should you pay for your brother's betrothal gift?"

Diao Ran's surprise was even greater than Yu Tang's shock, and it quickly turned into a sneer. "I'm right, aren't I? You high-ranking young ladies only know how to say irrelevant things. Isn't it fun to laugh at my joke? You're just as disgusting as Shen Zhi!"

These words were like a knife stabbing Yu Tang's heart.

It hurts more than the arm that was stabbed by the fruit knife just now.

But she quickly adjusted herself. Whether she could dispel her emotions was her business. What was more important now was the person in front of her.

"If you are short of money, you should make money by yourself. Don't dream of relying on a man. The end result will be that you will lose both your money and your love." Yu Tang squatted down and his eyes were level with Diao Ran's.

"I want to make money, but I have nothing and I don't know how to do anything. Even this bar that Shen Zhi gave me is about to go bankrupt."

"Since Shen Zhi can't give you what you want, why don't you come to my camp?"

Diao Ran's eyes twitched, "What?"

Yu Tang touched his lips, and said with a firmness in his understatement, "Our cooperation will bring mutual benefits, and it will definitely be more than what you get from Shen Zhi."

"But...we are rivals in love...why would you..."

She was completely confused. Her life experience was not enough to understand what Yu Tang did.

"Do you like Shen Zhi?" Yu Tang asked.

Diao Ran bit her lower lip and thought seriously for a while, then shook her head. "I admit that my purpose in approaching him was for money."

After all, Shen Zhi is a handsome, wealthy and good-looking man. Even if I am with him for money, it won't be considered as a sacrifice for myself.

But if we talk about feelings... Diao Ran really never liked him.

"Since you don't like him and I have no interest in him, how can we be considered rivals in love?"

Yu Tang smiled, pulled Diao Ran up from the ground, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"To be precise, he owes us both a debt. We should be in the same boat."

Diao Ran seemed to understand, "You want me to be your informant around him?"

"Yes." Yu Tang only mentioned one person without explaining too much.

"Then...how much money can I get?"

"It's enough to relieve your immediate needs," Yu Tang said. "I will arrange for your sister's illness to be treated in the hospital, but I will not be responsible for your brother's betrothal gift."

After a pause, she continued, "If you want to invest the money I give you, that's your business, but I advise you not to. You are just yourself, not anyone's dodder. You don't need to rely on others, let alone meet those rude requests. Think more about yourself."

Diao Ran was stunned and fell into deep thought.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."

Yu Tang took several deep breaths and pinched his eyebrows.

"This private room is very stuffy. I need to go out for some fresh air. You have my phone number, let's keep in touch. As for Shen Zhi, you should know what to do."

After saying that, she turned around, opened the door and was about to leave.

Suddenly Diao Ran called out, "Wait!"

"Hmm?" Yu Tang turned around.

Diao Ran pointed at her arm and said, "I'm sorry about the injury on your hand."

Yu Tang glanced down and said, "It's okay, it's just a small problem, don't take it to heart."

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something, "Oh right, Changle Pavilion is the largest entertainment venue in Yuncheng. Your bar occupies such a prime location, you should make good use of it and not waste it."

That’s all I can say. Yu Tang has done so many things today that he would never have done before.

She is such a petty person who would pay back a hundredfold if hurt a little bit, so she was really too kind to Diao Ran.

Now Shen Zhi and Haicheng's grandmother have joined forces and may attack Yu Tang at any time, so we have to be on guard.

Yu Tang needs Diao Ran as his spy to provide him with information.

In addition, because of Diao Ran, she also thought of another thing.

When I walked out of the bar, the sky was clear and the sun was high in the sky. The scorching sunlight was very dazzling.

Yu Tang stood in the sun and made a phone call.

"Ms. Yu, I haven't received your call for a long time. I really miss you!"

The other party was very excited.

Yu Tang's depressed mood could not be soothed, "I've been a bit busy lately... How is Master?"

The other party sighed deeply, "It's not going well again. I'm in a daze every day, sometimes lucid and sometimes confused. When I'm lucid, I keep muttering that I'm going to die soon and need to divide my inheritance properly. When I'm confused, I just call out your name and say I want to see you."

Yu Tang's heart ached, and his voice trembled, "I want to go see Master, too."

"Let's wait a little longer. The doctor said his PTSD is too severe. Seeing you now will only make it worse. Let's wait until his condition improves before meeting again."

The person on the other end of the phone didn't want to make Yu Tang too sad, so he added, "Fortunately, Master's craftsmanship has been passed on to you, which can be regarded as putting an end to his worries."

"But I don't have the ability to carry it forward, and I always feel sorry for my master."

"There will always be opportunities. Let's not rush," the other person said softly. "To inherit and carry forward a traditional craft like embroidery, there will always be some twists and turns. So take your time."

"I understand. Thank you, sister. I'll need your help to take care of Master."

"no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Tang's depressed mood seemed to be relieved, but he still felt uncomfortable as if there was a stone pressing on his heart, and there was no outlet for his too many emotions to continue to vent.

A strong feeling of loneliness came over me. Even though I was standing in the sun, I still felt cold.

Yu Tang wanted to find Meng Qianyi to talk, but when he opened his phone, he saw the message she had sent him not long ago. "I'm not in Yuncheng these two days. I want to tell you that Xiaoye's cat food has been delivered and is left at your door. Remember to pick it up when you get home."

Even she ran away, who else can I look for?

After thinking about it, Yu Tang called Zhou Shenye and asked, "Are you free today?"

"Of course, my time is always available for you."

"I want to see you."

Half an hour later, Yu Tang met Zhou Shenye at home.

It was clearly Yu Tang's own home, and he could unlock the door and enter by pressing his fingerprint.

Zhou Shenye still came to open the door for her, or rather, he had been waiting for her at the door.

As soon as Yu Tang got out of the car, he saw Zhou Shenye, leaning against the door frame, bathed in sunlight, as beautiful as a painting.

The gloom in Yu Tang's heart was blown away in an instant.

She didn't go over immediately, but stood in front of the car and looked at Zhou Shenye.

Zhou Shenye smiled, tilted his head, and opened his arms towards Yu Tang.
