Chapter 1082 Respected as the Eldest Sister
Teng Zijing bent down, grabbed Gu Ze by the collar, and lifted him up abruptly. Gu Ze staggered and swayed, the smell of alcohol mixed with foul odor wafting towards him.
Seeing this, Feng Tao hurriedly tried to step forward, but Teng Zijing turned around and gave him a sharp look, stopping him: "Get out of the way!"
The chill in her eyes froze Feng Tao in place. He was about to take a step when An Ran reached out and grabbed his arm. She whispered, "Hey? Don't go over there."
Teng Zijing stared intently into Gu Ze's bleary, drunken eyes, his tone icy: "You really enjoy being a mistress? Do you want me to teach you how to be a decent human being?"
Gu Ze struggled, his voice hoarse: "I'm not a third party. Cheng Yu and Mu Xiaoji broke up a long time ago..."
"You're still deceiving yourself, aren't you?" Teng Zijing shoved him forward abruptly, sending Gu Ze crashing into the rattan chair with a muffled groan.
"They already have kids, and you're still daydreaming here! You're asking for a beating, aren't you?"
Where is the script at for me to film this far? Do you think my money grows on trees? Don't I need to recoup my investment?
Do you know how many days you've wasted? Do you know how much money I'm losing these days?
Every word struck Gu Ze's heart like a hammer blow. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the alcohol and shame choked him, leaving him speechless.
He could only endure Teng Zijing's angry glare, which felt like needles piercing his face, as the drunkenness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of sober embarrassment.
Seeing Gu Ze struggling painfully in the rattan chair, Feng Tao quickly stepped forward to support him, saying as if coaxing a child, "Gu Ze, get up, I'll help you to the bathroom."
As soon as they carried him to the bathroom door, Gu Ze threw himself into the toilet and vomited violently. He was so dizzy that he could barely stand.
An Ran walked to the balcony, looked at Teng Zijing whose face was ashen, and said softly, "Zijing,"
"Aren't you being a bit cruel to Gu Ze? He looks so distressed; perhaps you should offer him some psychological support."
Teng Zijing snorted coldly: "He's just asking for a beating. It hasn't been that long since he caused trouble last time."
When the new film was being shot and a memorial service was held, he attempted suicide by cutting his wrists. In the end, Jiang Chengyu personally appeared on screen to save the day, preventing the investment from going down the drain.
And what happened? Not only was the other person ungrateful after waking up, but they also gave Jiang Chengyu the cold shoulder. Hmph, and he, on the other hand, acted all wronged first.
"That's true. We were busy settling An Tai's researchers during that time, and we forgot about this." An Ran sighed helplessly.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Feng Tao struggled to help the unconscious Gu Ze out. He walked heavily to the large bed and laid Gu Ze on it.
Feng Tao acted like a mother hen, taking off Gu Ze's shoes, covering him with a blanket, and taking meticulous care of him.
Gu Ze was still muttering to himself, "Cheng Yu, forgive me... I shouldn't have been so mean to you... Let me stay by your side, okay..."
After watching Feng Tao settle Gu Ze, Teng Zijing asked, "Is everything arranged at the summit venue?"
"Why are you two back so soon? How's your gunshot wound? Aren't you tired of carrying such a big burden around?"
Feng Tao breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze falling on Gu Ze's painedly furrowed brows: "Rather than saying he's a burden to me, it's more accurate to say he's my hope and my anchor."
He paused, then continued, "From the day I brought him out to make his way in the world, our fates have been inextricably linked."
He wouldn't have achieved great things without my protection; without his support, I wouldn't be where I am today.
"There are many capable people among the summit's veterans. My father and I have carefully discussed the prospects of maritime transport."
The seal of office is held by the Feng family. Regardless of which descendant of the helmsman succeeds in the future, without this seal, the real power will ultimately remain with the Feng family.
Teng Zijing raised an eyebrow in agreement, then asked in confusion, "Didn't you say the seal couldn't be found?"
“Found it.” A complex look flashed across Feng Tao’s eyes. “He Yanzu took the seal and left the Feng family manor, going directly to the Boshan Sanatorium.”
He was afraid that I was too weak to protect this thing on my own, after all, the Feng brothers, Feng Yan and Feng Zhan, were ruthless.
Over the years, he has won over many people at the summit, and once they realize what's happening, they will definitely take drastic measures against him.
He hid the seal in a crevice of my mother Isabella's bed. After doing this, he went to Xiaoshan Villa in the old alley of Dakeng.
They found Gu Ze's mother and told her about hiding the seal, saying that if anything happened to him...
I asked her to tell me that my father had left something for me at the Beauchamps Sanatorium.
He Yanzu originally thought we were still making a living while we were still serving under the Governor, but upon meeting Gu Ze's mother, he learned that we had been away from the Governor for many years.
He paused, composed himself, and said, "Later, the news reported on the Sea Shark incident..."
Worried about Gu Ze, Gu Ze's mother went to the Feng family to visit him, and while she was there, she mentioned the butler's request, which led her to the seal.
Feng Tao's voice lowered, tinged with guilt and relief, "This time... Father also passed the test of the situation."
Having understood some of the principles, he personally led a group to bring his mother back to the Feng family from the sanatorium.
Finally free of all worries, I took Gu Ze back to Kunming, just in time for the wedding of Master Jing and Assistant Deng.
Teng Zijing crossed his arms and looked Feng Tao up and down, a hint of mockery in his eyes:
"Such a great opportunity, aren't you tempted? You know, the summit's leadership is a lifeline for the Governor of Hong Kong's maritime transport."
Now that you've taken over this position, you and Gu Ze won't need to brave the wind and rain to run around doing promotions, or be subservient to others just to make a living!
Feng Tao breathed a calm sigh of relief, his tone completely unwavering: "Master Jing, please stop teasing me."
Don't you understand me after all these years? I'm just not cut out for this. My world is just ordinary.
If you are interested, I can recommend him to Father. I believe that with Master Jing's abilities, Father will certainly not refuse.
Teng Zijing waved his hand and declined with a smile: "No, no, no, I have no such intention."
He changed the subject, a hint of emotion in his eyes, "I just find this world quite interesting—"
The things that the brothers Feng Yan and Feng Zhan tried so hard to obtain seemed to slip further and further away from them the more they worked.
It's ironic that you could have it so easily, yet you keep it at arm's length. The one who desires it most is the one who can't have it.
A person who only wanted to be ordinary became a favorite of heaven, receiving its favor undeservedly. Hmph! How laughable!
As a favored child of heaven, Feng Tao smiled and lowered his head, without replying.
Sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor, as if silently echoing the twists and turns of life.
Gu Ze rolled over in bed and murmured, "Cheng Yu... I'm sorry... You love me... right... Please come back to me?"
The room fell silent for a moment, with only Gu Ze's subconscious repentance and mutterings, accompanied by the faint sound of the wind outside the window, creating a desolate atmosphere.
Seeing the weariness and determination in Feng Tao's eyes, Teng Zijing didn't say anything more, only nodded. Some entanglements are ultimately beyond the reach of others.
The living room of the Jinjiang Bay villa was warm and peaceful. The old lady sat in the center of the sofa, with Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji holding the twins on either side of her.
The old lady looked at the two adorable little ones, her eyes crinkling with joy as she smiled from ear to ear:
"Oh my, these two kids are so beautiful! Is he the 'big worm' that Chou Bao was talking about? And is she the 'little chick'?" He laughed heartily as he spoke.
Mu Xiaoji turned her back on the old lady reproachfully, rolled her eyes at her, and corrected her:
"Oh, Grandma, I'm holding Jiang Shiye, the 'big bug' you mentioned; the little monster is holding the 'little chick'—pui pui pui, it's chubby Jiang Shiyu."
"Look at you, you've got me all confused. From now on, no more calling each other by our nicknames. We have to call each other Jiang Shiye and Jiang Shiyu. If anyone calls us by the wrong nickname again, I'll punish them."
Xiao Yue brought in tea, placed it on the coffee table, and said with a smile, "Young Master Chenxi, don't mind it. Grandma is just happy."
When a child is young, the more "humble" their nickname, the easier it is to raise them. Don't be so serious about it with Grandma.
Mu Xiaoji's face instantly darkened, and she insisted with a hint of displeasure, "Sister Yue, I disagree. Little Monster definitely doesn't like the twins being teased like this."
Jiang Chengyu looked at Xiao Yue, his cheeks slightly flushed. It was because he hadn't wanted to owe Xiao Yue a favor; but fate seemed to like playing tricks on people.
Xiao Yue's willingness to act as a surrogate for Jiang Chengyu caused Jiang Chengyu to feel indebted to her for the rest of his life.
With a hint of embarrassment, she said, "Sister Yue, let's listen to Xiao Ji."
Seeing Jiang Chengyu's subconscious opposition, Xiao Yue nodded with a slight smile: "Okay, Young Master Jiang."
Please just call me Xiao Yue! It feels awkward to suddenly call me 'sister' like Young Master Chenxi does.
Jiang Chengyu's eyes filled with gratitude as he said earnestly, "Xiao Ji and I are the same age."
You've sacrificed so much for us over the years; we can never repay you. We can never forget our roots in this lifetime.
A satisfied smile spread across Mu Xiaoji's face, and she said earnestly, "The little monster is right."
Sister Yue, we have no way to repay you in this life, so we will regard you as our elder sister. Please do not refuse.
Jiang Shuo is now going to do what he needs to do. From now on, Little Monster and I are your everything.
Looking at the two sincere young people in front of him, Xiao Yue's eyes welled up with tenderness, revealing an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Her choice may be considered shameful by the world, or perhaps it's a sign that Xiao Yue lived too humbly.
In short, in today's society, there must be women who would only dream of such a wonderful opportunity as a sexually linked couple.
It is important to know that these two outstanding young people dedicated their lives to protecting the child and the child's mother.
She may be lonely, but compared to those who can only dream of seeing the world, isn't she the happiest woman in the world?
Without a failed marriage or worldly constraints, she has achieved what she could.
The sunlight in the living room was just right, falling on the twins' faces, and the two little ones seemed to feel their biological father's great love;
Her babbling, revealing her pink gums, and her giggling laughter helped everyone forget their worries and gloom.
The old lady looked at the scene before her, smiled, and patted the little faces of her two great-grandchildren, her eyes full of satisfaction.
Xiao Yue's eyes were slightly red, and everything was quiet and just right.
