Chapter 129 She is not Mrs. Wang
When Ye Tang returned.
Even breathing felt exhausting.
She slowly moved to the edge of the sofa, sank in, closed her eyes, and looked as if she had just fought an extremely difficult battle, exuding an aura of pure emotion.
tired.
so tired.
Gu Lin sat down next to her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
He slowly applied pressure with his fingertips, kneading her tense muscles and bones.
"It's alright," he said softly. "It's only thirty million. What family doesn't spend money to get married? We Gu family also care about our reputation. If you ask for less, we'll feel embarrassed."
"Come on, you."
Ye Tang didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly.
She didn't understand the Gu family, but she knew Gu Lin all too well.
Who knows how many sweet words this person said and how many times he kowtowed to his parents for this money?
"Gu Lin," she turned around, looking into his eyes, "given your current situation, it's simply impossible for you to come up with thirty million. Besides, I think thirty million is too much. Let's not dwell on these tens of millions, okay?"
Gu Lin didn't reply, but simply reached out and pulled her into his arms.
He held her arm tightly, his voice muffled as he whispered through her hair, "I'm so incompetent for always making you suffer."
"How are you incompetent?" Ye Tang raised her hand and pinched his earlobe. "When we first met, weren't you the one supporting me? From now on, it's my turn to support you. That's fair."
Gu Lin chuckled softly.
Ye Tang laughed along with her.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tang asked softly, "Are your parents... angry because my parents made such an exorbitant demand?"
"no."
"Really not?"
Gu Lin nodded, then, as if suddenly remembering something, his tone relaxed: "My sister also gave me thirty million."
"What? Your sister gave you money?" Ye was taken aback.
She knew Gu Lin had an older sister, but she had never met her.
I heard she got married a long time ago and married very well.
You can transfer 30 million at will...
"You accepted it?"
She directly transferred the money to my card.
Ye Tang thought for a moment and shook her head: "This money has to be returned. She's married, and the money is jointly owned by the couple... Don't let our situation cause unpleasantness between your sister and brother-in-law."
"That's what I think too," Gu Lin agreed.
"By the way, what's your brother-in-law's name again?"
"Wang Bin".
"That Wang Bin from Bingwang Group?"
"That's right."
Ye Tang suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar.
A while ago, our studio received a big order to customize a set of top-quality ruby jewelry. The main stone was rare and the design was intricate. The entire studio worked overtime to complete this design.
The finished product is worth nearly 100 million yuan.
She didn't really look at the client information; the designer in charge said it was for "Mrs. Wang".
That must be a surprise for Gu Rou.
"Your brother-in-law... must love your sister very much, right?"
"Yes," Gu Lin's eyes softened, "He's liked my sister since she was little and has been pursuing her for many years. Now he cherishes her like the apple of his eye."
Ye Tang listened and nodded gently.
She suddenly realized that the priceless jewelry might not be a display of wealth, but rather a clumsy yet extravagant expression of one person's affection for another over the long course of time.
She leaned against Gu Lin's chest, the hand on her shoulder gently and reassuringly moving.
Dusk was settling outside the window. The lights were off inside, only a faint glow from the streetlights filtering through the dim light…
...the next day.
Ye Tang arrived at the company.
She had just put down her bag when the designer in charge of the ruby project knocked on the door and came in.
She held a velvet tray in her hands, on which were neatly stacked delivery slips and quality inspection reports.
"Ms. Ye, all the procedures for this ruby set are complete. Please sign to confirm." The designer gently handed the documents to her.
Ye Tang took the pen and asked as she signed, "Have you checked it repeatedly? This kind of client can't tolerate the slightest mistake."
"Don't worry, all the details have been checked more than three times." The designer paused, then added, "Also, Mrs. Wang will be coming to pick it up in person this afternoon. Would you like to greet her?"
Orders worth hundreds of millions are not common for Haitang Studio, but they come in a few every year.
Ye Tang always valued this, and whenever she was present, she would personally receive her. Moreover, this "Mrs. Wang" was Gu Lin's sister.
"Order a bouquet of flowers, the elegant kind," Ye Tang said, capping her pen. "Remind me before the client arrives."
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
To make her image more gentle.
Ye Tang changed out of her work suit.
She changed into a beige knitted dress and changed her lipstick color from bright red to a soft dusty rose.
The person suddenly became much gentler.
She was very satisfied.
The flowers were delivered at 2 p.m.
At 3 o'clock sharp, the designer came over and said, "Mr. Ye, Mrs. Wang has arrived."
As Ye Tang picked up the bouquet and walked towards the VIP room, a smile even appeared on her face beforehand, and the word "sister" was already eagerly on her lips...
She was stunned when she opened the door.
The woman sitting on the sofa was very pretty, with her long hair gently tied back.
She is indeed beautiful, but she is not Gu Rou.
Gu Rou is a stunningly beautiful woman who attracts attention wherever she goes.
She had seen the photos.
Could it be that she misremembered who placed the order?
"Are you... Mrs. Wang?" Ye Tang handed over the flowers, politely and courteously.
The woman stood up and took it, pursing her lips slightly. "Yes, thank you."
"Please have a seat. Xiao Sun, prepare coffee for Mrs. Wang."
After exchanging pleasantries, they took their seats.
The designer put on white gloves and solemnly presented the black velvet tray.
The rubies shimmered with a rich, pigeon-blood-like luster under the light, each main stone surrounded by densely set diamonds, resembling a galaxy.
"This set of jewelry was specially commissioned by Mr. Wang, presumably to give you a surprise," Ye Tang said with a smile.
The woman covered her mouth and chuckled softly, fine lines appearing at the corners of her eyes: "He just loves these kinds of rituals."
"Mr. Wang is really good to you," Ye Tang said, but her doubts were growing deeper.
She subtly gestured to the designer to fetch the internal order information.
I carefully checked all the information on it.
Because the money is to be accounted for through official channels, the information on the order is quite detailed.
"Mrs. Wang, according to procedure, we need to verify your order information. Please don't mind."
"Of course, please go ahead."
"The order was placed by Mr. Wang Bin, president of Bingwang Group. His registered mobile number is 139..." Ye Tang recited a string of numbers, his gaze quietly fixed on the woman's face. "We may need you to call Mr. Wang in person to confirm."
"No problem." The woman calmly took out her phone, dialed the number, and said softly, "Honey, I'm here to pick up the jewelry. Mr. Ye needs you to verify his identity... Okay."
She handed the phone to Ye Tang.
A deep male voice came through the receiver: "President Ye, this is Wang Bin. Just give the jewelry to her, and send the invoice to the group's finance department via email later."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, thank you for your trust."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tang already knew what was going on.
Wang Bin is indeed Gu Lin's brother-in-law.
But the person in front of her was not Gu Rou.
She pushed the confirmation slip towards the woman and casually asked, "Mr. Wang sent such an expensive gift, it must be for a special occasion, right? Our wedding anniversary?"
The woman took the pen and smoothly wrote her name, **Zhao Yuan**, at the signature area.
"Not really," she put down her pen, a hint of embarrassment and happiness in her smile. "I recently gave birth to a son for him, and he was overjoyed and insisted on rewarding me."
Ye Tang's heart sank slightly, but she remained calm and offered a few words of flattery.
"It seems Mr. Wang likes you very much."
"That's true." Zhao Yuan stroked the edge of the jewelry box, her eyes shining as she looked up. "He really likes children, and this is a fulfillment of his wish. He was probably a little too happy, which is why he gave such an expensive gift."
