CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 150: THE TRUTH (PART 2)

But you see, my inability to hide my emotions just shows how much I care about you, doesn’t it? I guess from what I’ve said just now, you can figure out that I’m about to leave. Haha... quite sudden, right? It’s indeed so sudden that even I wasn’t prepared at all, not knowing how to control myself. I’ve grown so much, and it’s only now that I’ve found friends I can truly share my heart with, and yet I have to leave without really enjoying this friendship...

Tang Luo kept rambling on but didn’t really explain the main reason for the situation. Luo Ye looked towards Fu Mo: "You explain it, let Tangtang take a break."

"No, I want to say it myself, Luoluo, I don’t know when will be the next time I can have such a heartfelt talk with you all. I must say it myself." Tang Luo pressed her temples for a moment and took a deep breath, "Actually, the cause isn’t complicated. My aunt’s new boyfriend is Fu Mo’s secretary, Fan Zhe. You met him too last time we ate at Dynasty, Luoluo.

I thought my aunt had just met him, but in reality, they’ve known each other for over two years, just that they made their relationship official only this year.

The last time we met, aside from not having a good impression of his sister, I felt okay about others. Thus, when my aunt asked for my opinion, I honestly said he was fine and told her to follow her heart and be happy.

A few days ago, my aunt went to a new Western restaurant with a friend, coincidentally Fan Rui and her friend were there too, sitting right next to my aunt.

Fan Rui was always rather cold to my aunt, and after the birthday party, she even showed some inexplicable hostility. Therefore, even after hearing my aunt was sitting behind her, she couldn’t bother to greet her.

But since it was her boyfriend’s sister, my aunt didn’t want it to be awkward after running into each other, so she explained to her friend and quickly left when Fan Rui went to the restroom.

My aunt’s friend is her childhood bestie, and she’s always been skeptical about Fan Zhe, feeling he doesn’t deserve my aunt. So when they left, she sneakily placed a recording pen under the seat, and after parting with my aunt, she swiftly returned to the restaurant, waiting for Fan Rui to leave.

In the conversation, Fan Rui’s friend asked her how things were going with the Eldest Young Master Fu. Fan Rui said that the Eldest Young Master Fu got entangled by his future sister-in-law’s niece, and if it weren’t for the fact that his future sister-in-law is a member of the Tang Family, she would have dealt with that little slut long ago.

And she mentioned her brother is with his future sister-in-law just because she is a member of the Tang Family, and told her friend that if she really likes her brother, she shouldn’t care about the status.

The conversation made it very clear that Fan Zhe intentionally approached my aunt, and Fan Rui’s coldness towards my aunt was because in her eyes, having caught the attention of the Eldest Young Master Fu, she didn’t see herself as any less than my aunt.

My aunt’s friend originally recorded the conversation to hear how the Fan Family spoke of my aunt and to find a way to persuade her, but she never expected to uncover such a truth. So she handed the recording pen to my aunt at the first opportunity.

You can imagine how devastated my aunt was by this revelation. She always viewed arranged marriages within families as raw and naked transactions, which is why she rejected them fiercely, preferring to start a business in Island City rather than staying and growing within the Tang Family’s sphere of influence.

I came to study in Island City because Grandpa was worried about my aunt, yet wanted to spare her pride. He lied saying my parents were going to move here too and had me transfer schools first, urging my aunt to take good care of me. In truth, he sent me here to accompany her.

My aunt only told me about the recording last night. She has decided to leave Island City and return to the Tang Family’s base in Song City, and has asked me not to worry, saying she had already called Grandpa and had him ask my parents to come over as soon as possible.

The reason why I came here to study is known only by Grandpa and my parents. In this situation, Grandpa naturally couldn’t tell the truth, but he would definitely not let my parents come to Island City. As the head of the Tang Family, he has his own principles to follow.

After weighing everything, I think it’s best that I initiate my return. Moreover, my aunt and I have the closest relationship since we were children, and I just can’t be at ease with her running away like this.

It’s just that this means I have to leave all of you, and I really can’t bear to part with you." By the end, Tang Luo was almost sobbing uncontrollably, both for her impending departure and for her aunt’s unfortunate encounter.

Ying Nuo was also teary-eyed from Tang Luo’s crying, softly consoling her, "Tangtang, don’t cry. Even if you go back, we can still meet during the winter and summer vacations."

Xing Nong’s eyes were red, but she feigned indifference, "I thought it was some big deal. Isn’t it just a temporary separation? We’ll just apply to the same university for college, right?"
