Chapter 713: Chapter 713: But What Capital Do I Have? _1
Tang Zhou snapped, “Brother, you know very well that’s not what I’m trying to say! Everyone thinks I’m a woman posing as a man, they all believe I’m a normal girl, but you know that’s not true. I…”
Having said this, Tang Zhou lifted his leg and kicked the nightstand hard. With a loud bang, he vented his frustrations.
Tang Xiao remained quiet, waiting for Tang Zhou to unload his anger before he spoke again. Tang Zhou harshly wiped his face, “Brother, you know very well that nobody could possibly like me! They only see my glamorous appearance, they don’t know how contemptible I look undressed. I can’t possibly live with Leng Chenmo as we are right now, forever, right? When we’re officially engaged, what excuse would I still have to keep him out of the room? Once he saw my ugly body, would he still be as patient and accommodating as he is now? He’s no longer the helpless big-shot he used to be, soon he will be the son of the Crown Prince of Country S. He won’t need to pay attention to my moods anymore. I’m so frustrated!!!”
Tang Xiao understood the mental pressure Tang Zhou was under, but he was reminded of a conversation he had with Leng Chenmo at the door of the sickroom.
With that in mind, Tang Xiao gave his advice, “If you have doubts, tell Leng Chenmo honestly. If he is willing to accept you, you could get engaged. And if he doesn’t, then separate.”
Tang Zhou blurted out irritably, “He definitely won’t accept it, how could a normal person possibly accept it?”
That may not be the case. He had personally heard Leng Chenmo say that he wouldn’t mind.
Nonetheless, Tang Xiao decided not to mention that and just provide advice – he wanted to know how Tang Zhou really felt about Leng Chenmo.
If Tang Zhou was brave enough to have an honest conversation with Leng Chenmo, it would mean he’s seriously considering the relationship. Currently, Tang Xiao was still uncertain about Tang Zhou’s decision.
“Anyone who truly loves you would accept it. Rejecting the idea without even trying makes you a coward.”
Tang Zhou’s mind was in turmoil. He subconsciously shouted back at his brother, “How can Leng Chenmo possibly like me for real? He’s only with me because he had no other choice when he hit rock bottom, and went to the registry because he had nowhere else to live! He’s not down and out anymore, he’ll soon be thriving again. He won’t have to put up with my bad temper anymore. He’s not a citizen of Country A anymore, he doesn’t have to follow the laws and regulations of Country A anymore, we’re going to say goodbye very soon.”
“Tang Zhou, have some self-confidence.”
“What do I have to be confident about? Money? He’ll soon have endless wealth and prosperity!” Tang Zhou’s mood worsened as he spoke. He felt like wrecking the room. Constantly demeaning himself dragged him into a depressive state he couldn’t escape from.
“Brother, you think I’m hopeless too? You don’t want to talk to me anymore?”
Tang Xiao didn’t want to hear him putting himself down anymore. Words wouldn’t calm him down now. The only thing that could convince him was solid evidence. Tang Xiao said, “I’m sending you a picture.”
“What picture? What pictures are you sending me? I’m not interested! Think of a solution for me quickly, how can I make him obediently continue to be my follower?”
Unfortunately, all that responded was the sound of the call ending.
Then came the notification for a WeChat message – Tang Xiao had sent him a photo.
Tang Zhou sullenly and irritably opened it to see a civil affairs bureau registration form. On the form, there was a place circled in red that caught his eye. He zoomed in the photo to have a closer look at the annotation.
