This allowed her to stay opposite him and continue browsing on her tablet, and he wouldn't force her to appear on camera against her wishes.

Gu Shutang agreed indifferently. She was watching TV series wherever she was anyway, so it would be fine for her to accompany him occasionally.

But after a few days, Gu Shutang regretted her soft-heartedness. This man was too clingy. He took advantage of her once and didn't give up. He was so shameless that he acted coquettishly towards her and begged her to go there to accompany him every day.

Ever since the news that Xu Jiashao's girlfriend was Gu Shutang spread, Li Xingzhou's situation has not been good. He originally relied on himself to get a job that could support himself, but it was ruined by someone with ulterior motives.

The moment Deng Rongrong openly lived with Li Xingzhou and even wanted to use her own property to subsidize him, Deng Wenrui stopped caring about her and stopped seeing her.

Deng Rongrong's family saw that Deng Wenrui had become cold towards Deng Rongrong, and even that Deng Rongrong was hooking up with Mr. Xu's girlfriend's ex-fiancé.

After watching for a few days and seeing that the Xu family had completely turned cold towards Deng Rongrong, her grandfather directly took back her property and redistributed it to his obedient descendants.

Deng Rongrong's assets were reduced to what Deng Wenrui gave her. Li Xingzhou, who had been fired many times, was unwilling to give up and, without caring about his reputation, used the dowry of his wife, who had already been married, to start a business.

At the beginning, Deng Rongrong was full of expectations for Li Xingzhou. After all, Li Xingzhou had a good academic background and the insight of a rich man, so many companies were vying for him when he first entered the society.

Although she only stayed in each company for a few days, Deng Rongrong firmly believed that the culprits of all this were the Xu family and Gu Shutang.

If it weren't for them, how could her talented Xingzhou have been fired so many times?

Therefore, Deng Rongrong handed the dowry to Li Xingzhou with great confidence.

After Gu Shutang returned to Beijing, he still lived in the Xu family, and only returned to the Li family a few days before the family recognition banquet.

The two older brothers of the Li family were also there. Their attitude towards Gu Shutang remained the same as before, and they didn't care that their parents had kicked their youngest brother out of the house.

There was a huge age gap between them and Li Xingzhou, so they couldn't communicate much and their relationship was average.

As for Gu Shutang, they really treated her as their own sister. When she first came to the Li family, she was almost raised by her two brothers.

Li's parents were busy with work, and because Li Xingzhou rejected Gu Shutang's sudden arrival and even pushed Gu Shutang, who had not yet attended kindergarten, into the swimming pool, Li's parents separated them.

He brought the little bully Li Xingzhou to his side and disciplined him strictly, arranging a full schedule of classes for him every day. Except for eating and sleeping, he had to attend classes.

Gu Shutang was placed in the Li family by them, and taken care of by Grandpa Li and Grandma Li. The two old people had limited energy, so it was mostly the two brothers who took care of Gu Shutang.

They have always been very nice to Gu Shutang. They had taught Li Xingzhou a lesson on her behalf many times before, and even advised her to cancel the engagement and just treat Li Xingzhou as their little sister.

They looked at her as if she were a treasure as she was dressed in a formal dress and accompanied by a well-groomed man.

I felt a lot of emotions in my heart. I felt reluctant to see my sister find a boyfriend, but I was also relieved that she finally met a good man.

The family reunion banquet went smoothly. Thanks to Xu Jiashao's presence, many well-known figures in the industry came to their family reunion banquet.

Deng Rongrong and Li Xingzhou also relied on their friends. They looked at such a grand scene and the people who flattered Gu Shutang and Xu Jiashao.

Their eyes were red and they were about to crush the wine glasses in their hands.

Li Xingzhou listened to the people present wantonly belittling him and praising Gu Shutang. He felt that Li's parents had a good eye for talent. Knowing that their own son was a failure, they chose to be close to their goddaughter and decisively gave up on their younger son, who was a fool.

Veins bulged on his head, and he clenched his fists. He wanted to rush up and hit someone, but was stopped by Deng Rongrong.

She felt unfair and jealous about Gu Shutang's grand family recognition banquet today, and the people who were previously out of her reach nodding and scraping at Gu Shutang and trying their best to please him, but she did not hate Gu Shutang as much as Li Xingzhou.

She felt that she still won over Gu Shutang. She had a husband whom she truly loved, and a child who was about to be born. Li Xingzhou's entrepreneurial momentum was good, and they would definitely be able to return to their class on their own.

Therefore, Deng Rongrong was unwilling to let Li Xingzhou vent his anger at will, anger potential big customers, and add a lot of difficulties to starting a business.

A few months after the family reunion banquet, the Xu family quickly held an engagement banquet, and the Li family attended as the bride's family.

This time, Deng Rongrong and Li Xingzhou couldn't get into the engagement party at all, and could only get a glimpse of it from other people's circle of friends showing off.

Gu Shutang was extremely comfortable at the engagement party. She didn't have to worry about anything as Ms. Deng and Xu Jiashao had already taken care of everything.

She only had to try on the dresses specially made by the famous master Xu Jiashao, which were flown in from abroad, and choose the one she liked best.

After the engagement party, Gu Shutang went to Xu Group to deliver food as usual, and then went to the coffee shop to check on the situation.

This time, Xu Jiashao, who was usually very busy, quickly finished the things at hand, took his wife home from get off work early, and went to the coffee shop together.

As soon as they entered the cafe, Li Xingzhou, who had been waiting in the cafe, rushed to them.

Li Xingzhou's face was covered with stubble at the moment, and he looked very haggard.

"Shu Tang, I regret that I shouldn't have broken off my engagement with you just for the sake of some empty freedom. Now that you've broken off your engagement with him, please come back to me! I will definitely treat you well."

"If you're willing, I'll divorce Deng Rongrong immediately and go through the marriage procedures with you."

When Gu Shutang saw Li Xingzhou about to rush towards her, she frowned and took a step back. Xu Jiashao also blocked her behind to prevent her from getting hurt.

Gu Shutang's eyes were filled with disgust: "Why do you think I would recycle second-hand garbage?"

"You've left Mr. Xu, who crushes you in every way, behind, and now you're such a slut that you run to me, a person who has nothing?"

Gu Shutang was not polite: "Li Xingzhou, you are too confident."

Gu Shutang turned his eyes away, unwilling to see his ugly appearance at the moment. Li Xingzhou was so excited that he gasped for breath and wanted to go forward and hit him.

Xu Jiashao, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, stopped him, grabbed his hand rudely, and threw him onto the table next to him.

"Li Xingzhou, you bastard, you actually want to go back to your ex?"

Deng Rongrong went up and slapped Li Xingzhou twice. "I told you that you've been staying in this cafe for no good reason! How come you cheated once, but you're thinking of doing it a second time?"

"Don't you even look at what you look like now? You're still dreaming of something impossible. I was so blind to fall for a piece of shit like you."
