Chapter 4, Decision
Recalling the disparaging remarks made by Zhang Zhentong about her mother, Xu Tong was filled with anger. Faced with such a despicable mother-daughter pair, she resolved to no longer avoid confrontation; she was determined to make them pay the appropriate price for their words.
She made a decision, a decision that could strike at Zhang Zhentong—she decided to seduce Gu Chen
If she successfully seduces, it will undoubtedly deal a significant blow to Ci | Ji Zhang Zhen Tong. This is one aspect.
Those people around them, upon seeing them, would flatter them by saying they are a perfect match, a couple of talent and beauty, a match made in heaven, and so on. It truly makes me sick. That woman is clearly not gentle, yet she insists on pretending to be as delicate as a water sprite, which is simply pretentious. And they call it a match made in heaven! In my opinion, having Gu Chen with her is simply a waste of talent! Oh, by the way, I heard they seem to be getting engaged soon. Sigh, Gu Chen is really unfortunate; out of the vast waters, he has scooped up such a bad catch. That Zhang Zhen Tong, I truly cannot stand her; she acts so cheap, as if she cannot live without Gu Chen. What a disgrace!
Rolling her eyes in disdain, Xu Tong lazily spoke into the microphone: "Zhang Zhen Tong, I must correct you on one point. What you just referred to as 'a little rascal' is not accurate; he is not a little rascal!" She could sense that Zhang Zhen Tong on the other end of the line was holding her breath, waiting for the next words. "Do you have any brains? Can't you see with your own eyes how big that guy is? Calling him 'little' rascal, little, little, little—what a joke! I tell you, he is a 'big' rascal! The big! D-a-d-a! Do you hear me clearly?"
He learned that he often frequented a nightclub called "Fantasy Love," where he preferred gentle and delicate women resembling little birds. He changed partners at a rapid pace, and was very generous with the breakup compensation. He detested women who harbored ulterior motives in the name of love; if any partner gave him the impression that she was attempting to usurp the position of Mrs. Gu, even if he was currently infatuated with her, he would immediately withdraw and sever emotional ties without hesitation, decisively and ruthlessly.

Xu Tong could almost imagine how distorted Zhang Zhen Tong's expression would be at this moment
Yang Yang said with a snort, "What is there to like or dislike? A wealthy man, or a wealthy man who is flirtatious and playful? Marriage is just about finding a woman of equal status to bear children for oneself. To put it bluntly, this is merely a continuation of animalistic instincts, with no relation to emotions whatsoever. Even if one marries someone more bothersome than her, it wouldn't make any difference in the dark, one can still hum and haw."
Zhang Zhentong shifted her tone, retracting her earlier domineering demeanor, and pretentiously said: "Hehe, however, this matter is not without room for redemption. Although what you did to me was quite excessive, I still have a sisterly bond with you. If you wish to have a place to settle down, it is not impossible. As long as you come to me in person to apologize and allow me to return that slap, and guarantee that you will never covet my father's money again, I will ensure that your place will not be demolished"
Her hands are cold, her breathing is somewhat rapid, and her heartbeat is much faster than usual
Xu Tong coldly said into the microphone: "Zhang Zhen Tong, listen carefully, from now on, stop calling me. I don't have time to listen to your meaningless nonsense! Remember, starting now, be careful not to run into me. A City is very large, so make sure to avoid me, otherwise, every time I see you, I will hit you! I warned you not to casually mention my mother, but unfortunately, you have a poor memory. Listen, I will make you pay for this!" After saying this, she ignored Zhang Zhen Tong's piercing screams and forcefully hung up the phone.
Such behavior is somewhat reminiscent of the actions of a mistress. Moreover, the mother has always despised mistresses. However, upon reflecting on the shameful conduct of Zhang Zhentong and her daughter over the years, she feels it is indeed necessary to repay them in their own coin.
As for the second point, it is said that Gu Chen has always been generous towards the women around him, as long as they are not greedy and do not aspire to become Mrs. Gu, he has always been quite generous.
During this period, Yang Yang learned an interesting anecdote about gossip from her
However, despite her repeated attempts to evade, the other party became increasingly aggressive
She has already analyzed in advance that seducing Gu Chen can achieve two goals with one action
Xu Tong remembered that Tang Xingbang once described her in this way: although she was very well-behaved at times, deep down she had always been a rebellious child who would repay any grievances.
Xu Tong, just you wait!" Zhang Zhen Tong was almost hysterical, "You bully me like this, I will definitely make you pay! I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to appreciate it! You are truly excessive! Even if you kneel in front of me in the future, I will definitely ignore you! I will make Gu Chen tear down your house, definitely! Just wait to sleep on the street! ! !" Between the lines, it seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice. I will make Gu Chen tear down your house, definitely! Just wait to sleep on the street! ! !" Between the lines, it seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Through Yang Yang's observation, Xu Tong obtained the following information: Zhang Zhen Tong's infatuation with Gu Chen has reached a point of desperation.
Because of Zhang Zhentong's last sentence, Xu Tong was truly, completely, and utterly angry
Upon hearing these words, Xu Tong followed Yang Yang with a hearty laugh of glee. She asked, "Where did you learn such juicy gossip?"
Xu Tong suddenly became impatient
Moreover, a man like Gu Chen, who is charming and loves many, has never been devoted to any woman. The beautiful women he has been involved with could number four, five, six, seven, or eight, and it is impossible to predict how many there will be in the end. Therefore, what chance does she have of becoming a mistress? At most, she is just an unknown variable, a little more than nothing.
Before her mother passed away, she told her, "Those who are despicable will eventually face their own consequences." She advised her not to seek out that heartless family for pointless entanglements. She heeded her mother's words and regarded those three individuals as if they did not exist, never acknowledging them.
In order to get closer to Gu Chen, Xu Tong made ample preparations in advance
Xu Tong laughed and said, "That's true, the emotions of wealthy people are all driven by desire. The brains of rich men are basically just for show; the part that is truly used for thinking is their lower bodies." Her smile suddenly turned mischievous as she asked Yang Yang, "Little girl, tell me the truth, have you already let our Zhuangzi think for you?"
In fact, she is very clear in her heart that the one who is truly causing her trouble is Qian Ruyun. With Zhang Zhentong's limited intelligence, if it weren't for her third mother supporting and directing her from behind, how could she possibly have thought of using the tactic of relocating the old street to force her to submit
Faced with Zhang Zhentong's repeated provocations, the evil revenge factor within her was completely activated
Looking at the strikingly handsome face on the magazine cover, Xu Tong felt a surge of excitement
Zhang Zhentong shouted in a sharp voice: "Xu Tong, is it really necessary for you to keep entangling with me? If you can guarantee that you won't have any greedy thoughts about our family's money, would we have so many issues between us?" As she spoke, her voice even turned to a cry, "Xu Tong, you are truly too much. Not only are you greedy, but you also want to slap me to death with your big ears. You! You! You are just as annoying as your mother. No wonder Dad doesn't want you both!"
Zhang Zhentong, are you done yet? Why are you making such a fuss over nothing? Aren't you tired or annoyed? Have you eaten too much and are just looking for trouble? If you keep pestering me like this, don't blame me for slapping you with my big ears!
Her words were truly shameless. Xu Tong, upon hearing this, was so furious that she laughed instead.
She feels that Tang Xingbang truly understands her. Throughout her life, there are certain losses she has never been willing to accept. Those who attempt to make her suffer these losses will certainly find a way to make their lives chaotic and troubled.
Yang Yang told her, "Speaking of which, it seems that Zhang Zhentong's family is also quite wealthy and well-established."
Yang Yang scoffed at her delusions; Xu Tong, with a serious expression, explained, "No, no, Yang Yang, listen to me! The truth is this!"
She is not a gentleman; she has always adhered to the principle of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. She never initiates provocation, yet she does not allow others to bully her at will
It is said that there was a young model with the surname Hu who, during a dinner gathering, successfully caught the attention of Young Master Gu. Young Master Gu was quite fond of her gentle and graceful demeanor, and for a period of time, they were very close. However, this woman did not understand the principle of knowing when to stop and gradually became greedy, casually telling others that Gu Chen was her husband. As a result, this information reached Young Master Gu, and the outcome was predictable; the woman was quickly cast aside. It should be noted that anyone who dares to covet the position of Young Master Gu's wife is on a path to destruction.
Yang Yang was unaware of her relationship with Zhang Zhen Tong; she had never specifically mentioned it, and Tang Zhuang never engaged in such gossip with women
At the moment she heard Zhang Zhentong speaking ill of her mother, she wished she could tear her mouth apart
Such a challenging endeavor inevitably stirs up a fervent passion within Xu Tong
Yang Yang shouted angrily, "Xu Tong, go die!" and hung up the phone in a fit of rage
She remembers that Confucius clearly stated in the "Analects" that he did not believe that "repaying kindness with resentment" was worthy of praise; a gentleman should repay resentment with integrity
He is a dangerous man, for his charm is so great that it easily lures people into his web of emotions; yet, no matter how much he indulges in pleasure, his heart remains rational and unyielding.
Xu Tong pondered for a moment and asked with some confusion, "Engaged? Does Gu Chen like that Zhang Zhen Tong?" He couldn't possibly be thinking so irrationally...
Xu Tong laughed, "It seems that more than half of the rumors in this world, if traced back to their origins, probably have to do with the poor soundproofing of their own homes. However, to completely cut off the screams of women, perhaps we need to replace every household's security door with the materials used to build a spaceship. " As she laughed, she suddenly felt that something was amiss. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but slap the table and exclaim, "Yang Yang, do you know? The moment you started imitating this, I had a very strange feeling; I feel a strong sense of participation in this matter!"
In fact, before making this decision, she had a moment of hesitation in her heart
Yang Yang said proudly, "I have a wide circle of acquaintances! Oh, actually it was that young model from downstairs who told me. She often comes to the court to play ball, and during our chats, she mentioned how much she dislikes her neighbor upstairs, who is so pretentious. Every day, dirty water leaks from the bathroom into her home, and no matter how she communicates with that woman, the problem is never fundamentally resolved; the leak continues, making her want to call the police. She said that the woman used to be with a wealthy man, which made her quite arrogant and her attitude very poor. One day, when she went to confront that woman about the leaking dirty water, she heard her crying desperately behind the door, it was truly pitiful! While crying, she shouted, 'Please believe me, I really have no ulterior motives. It's all that girl who changed the water pipe making baseless claims, I am truly wronged! I have never told anyone that you are my husband!'"
Xu Tong thought that if she could truly pique Gu Chen's interest, perhaps she could manage to prevent him from relocating the old street
To pursue such a target, unless one possesses sufficient self-control and can maintain one's composure without being lost in the moment, one is bound to meet a tragic end
