Chapter 1105
"Mom, you don't need to waste your time on me. If you really want to threaten me with death, I will definitely accompany you."
"Consider my life returned to you."
Mrs. Zhao never expected that the usually obedient Zhao Xiaotang would be so determined this time, and she was instantly furious.
Seeing that soft words didn't work on Zhao Xiaotang, she went for the hard approach, commanding Zhao Xiaotang, "You must marry Guo Hailong, whether you want to or not."
"Mom, don't push me, or I'll jump from here."
The hotel Zhao Xiaotang was in was over thirty floors high. Jumping from here would surely be a shattering death.
"Alright, let's see how brave you are. If you want to jump, then jump. As long as you don't, you have to marry Guo Hailong."
Hearing her own mother speak such cold and ruthless words, Zhao Xiaotang's heart turned cold.
Just as Zhao Xiaotang was being forced to the edge of despair, Guo Hailong, who had been watching the show, finally spoke up.
"What's going on here? Zhao Xiaotang, there's no need to talk to Auntie like this; things can be discussed properly."
Zhao Xiaotang looked at Guo Hailong coldly. She had no good impression of him; this guy did all sorts of things abroad and wasn't a good person.
Before Zhao Xiaotang could speak, Guo Hailong said to Mrs. Zhao, "Auntie, why don't you step out first? I'd like to talk to Zhao Xiaotang alone."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao immediately put on a smile and kindly said to Guo Hailong, "Alright, you two take your time to chat. She is now your fiancée, so whatever you wish to do with her is only fair and reasonable."
"My daughter is fine in every way, except she has had no romantic experience and has never dated, which led to her being tricked by a scumbag."
"If necessary, just let her experience what a man is like. Then she'll realize your worth and might even become completely devoted to you."
Zhao Xiaotang looked at her own mother in disbelief, letting a man force her daughter; was this something a mother could say?
At that moment, Zhao Xiaotang was completely disappointed in her mother.
Perhaps in her mother's eyes, this daughter was just a tool to gain benefits.
Guo Hailong chuckled, "Matters between men and women are mutual; I won't force Zhao Xiaotang, Auntie, rest assured."
"What forcing? You two are already engaged; that makes you a legal couple. It's normal for couples to do some things in bed."
"Anyway, no matter what you do, make this silly girl change her mind, and Auntie will thank you."
Guo Hailong nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie. I believe Zhao Xiaotang is just momentarily confused. I'll have a good talk with her."
Mrs. Zhao smiled with satisfaction, very pleased with this son-in-law.
Now, countless girls in the circle were eyeing Guo Hailong.
Everyone knew the new energy project in Guo Hailong's hands was a huge cake. Once obtained, the profits would be unimaginable, yet her silly daughter, blessed with fortune yet unappreciative, got involved with a scumbag, truly making her livid.
Mrs. Zhao obviously thought that even if her daughter hated her now, she would thank her later.
After Mrs. Zhao left, Zhao Xiaotang suddenly became tense. She gripped her phone tightly, eyeing Guo Hailong across from her warily.
Guo Hailong wasn't in a rush to speak; he lit a cigarette.
After a content puff, he looked up and down at Zhao Xiaotang with interest.
Zhao Xiaotang said discontentedly, "If you want to smoke, do it outside; I don't like the smell."
Guo Hailong chuckled, "What does it matter if you don't like it? It only matters if I like it."
"As for you, Zhao Xiaotang, whether you want to marry me or not, it doesn't matter. As long as I want you to marry me, that's enough."
"I heard you've never dated, so you must be a virgin. I didn't expect to have this luck."
Hearing such lewd words, Zhao Xiaotang was shamefully angry, "Weren't you pretending to be a gentleman? Can't you keep pretending? Whether I'm a virgin has nothing to do with you. Besides, haven't you seen the news? Since I have a lover, naturally, I'm no longer a virgin."
"Oh, you mean Zhang Yang, right? I suppose you just met Zhang Yang," Guo Hailong said with a mocking face.
Zhao Xiaotang looked wary, "What do you mean by that?"
"Alright, since I'm not pretending, neither should you. Speaking of Zhang Yang, I know him better than you. After all, my brother was left crippled by him, my father died at the hands of my brother because of Zhang Yang, and my grandfather was so angered by Zhang Yang that he ended up in the hospital."
"My little sister was defiled at home by a bodyguard, all because of Zhang Yang's scheme."
"Tell me, do you know Zhang Yang better than I do?"
When Zhao Xiaotang heard these words, she was utterly shocked. Although she had heard about the conflict between Zhang Yang and the Guo Family, she hadn't expected Zhang Yang to leave them so miserably ruined.
No wonder people in the circle said that without Guo Hailong, the Guo Family would likely have been laid to waste by Zhang Yang.
What seemed to be exaggerated rumors turned out to be true.
Recalling Zhang Yang's young and handsome face, it didn't match such a ruthless person at all.
Reflecting on her own decision to pull Zhang Yang into this mess, would he end up hating her too?
Would he take her life?
Now wasn't the time to think about these things. The man before her, Guo Hailong, seemed more scheming than she had imagined.
Guo Hailong continued talking to himself, "I've already investigated the whole thing. It was that woman, Li Yun'er, who gave you the idea to use the scandal to get out of our marriage."
Zhao Xiaotang's eyes widened with surprise.
"How do you know?"
"How do I know? It's quite simple, really. Just investigate who you were with today."
Saying this, Guo Hailong got up and went to the door, opening it to find two bodyguards holding Li Yun'er there.
The two bodyguards forced Li Yun'er inside, and Guo Hailong closed the door behind them.
Li Yun'er's mouth was gagged, and upon seeing Zhao Xiaotang, she seemed to grasp at straws, imploring for help with her eyes, hoping Zhao Xiaotang would save her.
Zhao Xiaotang didn't rush to speak. As for Li Yun'er, Zhao Xiaotang no longer considered her a friend.
She hadn't expected Guo Hailong to act so quickly, capturing Li Yun'er soon after the incident occurred.
He even learned everything that happened today from Li Yun'er.
Guo Hailong came over with a laugh, then roughly tore the tape from Li Yun'er's face.
"Go on, I'd like to hear again how you gave Zhao Xiaotang the idea."
