1173 I am forty not seventy

Tang Zhou was also grateful to Song Yan. He did not think that Xue Ping would dare to drug him. However that woman was really not a good person, when she saw that she could not make him submit willingly she decided to use such unscrupulous means, if that woman had succeeded——

He closed his eyes. The veins on the back of his hands started to pop because of how tightly he was clutching his fingers. Tang Zhou was a very traditional man, if he slept with a woman then he would definitely marry her no matter what kind of a person she was especially if she was as young as Xue Ping. 

And Xue Ping had used this knowledge to her advantage. 

More importantly, no man would like to know that a woman forced him into doing something that he did not want to do. 

Thus, his disgust for that woman became even more intense. In the past few days, Tang Zhou did feel a bit wavering in his heart but now that he knew that the solicitous attitude that the woman showed him was most probably fake, he could not help but throw up. For the first time in his life, he hated a woman to the point where he wanted to make sure that she would never come in front of him ever again. 

When Song Yan saw how angry Tang Zhou was, she heaved a sigh of relief. At least she did not have to worry about him. If this man tried to get together with Xue Ping then she would have left him to his fate like Ji Zhaung Guang.

Tang Zhou's suspicions indeed doubled when he saw that Xue Ping was willing to drug him, it hadn't been long since that woman started to chase after him. So there was no need for her to jump on him like this, what was the reason? Why was she in a hurry like this? It was as if something was chasing after her which was pushing her to chase after him with everything that she had. 

However, no matter how he racked his brain, he could not get an answer. He couldn't figure out the reason why Xue Ping was chasing him even when she could get a man better and younger than him. Now that, Song Yan was here in front of him, he could not help but ask, " Master Song, that girl has gotten more and more aggressive. She keeps saying that she wants to marry but I do not understand her reasons, with her background she can marry anyone. So why is she chasing me?" 

Song Yan admired Tang Zhou for holding on till now. Though Xue Ping was older than him, the body she was currently residing in was younger than Tang Zhou by two decades and yet he was still holding on without failing. 

If there was someone else in his place they would have long thrown her warnings in the back of their heads. 

Now Song Yan knew that Tang Zhou did not like Xue Ping not in this life or his past life. But back then his life was ruined by his wife causing him to lose everything. He was not only responsible for his life but the employees and workers under his company as well, if Xue Ping arrived in his life while promising that she would help his company. 

With how responsible Tang Zhou was he would have agreed with her as he wouldn't want his employees to lose their jobs because of him. 

Most probably, Xue Ping was the only straw that Tang Zhou could clutch when he was about to drown. If he hadn't taken her hands then his hard work would have been ruined and many lives would have been lost. 

' What a pity,' Song Yan shook her head. This man most probably did not know that the woman was only approaching him to give him hope for a few days before snatching everything away. 

This time around, he was holding on because he was the only one suffering and the employees in his company were fine. If his close ones were affected then Song Yan was sure that Tang Zhou would have accepted Xue Ping. 

No one knew the complex thoughts that were going on Song Yan's head. Even Chi Jia had the same thoughts as Tang Zhuo but when he saw that Song Yan was not replying he could not help but question, " Master Song, what did you mean by that it was better to stop Miss Ji as Tang Zhou would be the one who will lose everything…including his life? Are you saying that Ji Ziyi is planning to kill Boss Tang?" 

Song Yan pursed her lips. She had heard from Chi Jia that Xue Ping was still chasing after Tang Zhou. She thought that with her arrogance, Xue Ping would look for someone else after getting rejected again and again, however, that woman seemed to be really flexible. For the sake of snatching Tang Zhou's luck, she was willing to suffer like this. From what Fang Yanli told her, this woman had many more choices, it wasn't necessary for her to get Tang Zhou but she was greedy and wanted to bite the biggest fish. 

" I said that because that is the truth," Song Yan stated while looking at Tang Zhou whose face became pale. " You said that there is nothing that you can offer to that woman eh? But I am afraid, you have something that only you can offer to her and no one else. Not for the time being at least." 

Chi Jia was stunned and so was Tang Zhou. The two of them exchanged a glance with one another before Chi Jia questioned, " Master Song, other than his wealth… I don't think that Tang Zhou has anything else. I am not looking down on him but for her to chase after a man who is nearly in his coffin…" 

Tang Zhou interrupted him coldly, " I am past forty-five, not seventy. There is no way I am in my coffin." 

Chi Jia: "…." You think your age is still justifiable for an eighteen-year-old to chase you?
