War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 287: What I Lost

The receptionist, upon hearing he was looking for the President, didn’t seem very polite to Assistant You, so she thought this gentleman before her must be something else, and she became even more respectful and courteous.

Even her voice became several times softer!

However, Second Young Master Tang was immune, completely immune.

After Tang Mubei went upstairs, You Shuyang looked at him as if he were a savior.

Tang Mubei, "...Where’s my big brother?"

"Inside. Second Young Master, please try to persuade him well."

Please don’t start hurting each other rashly, poking the wounds of the Young Master.

The way these two brothers get along has always been evident to You Shuyang and the others, and they were really a bit worried.

But at this moment, apart from Tang Mubei, there was no one else who could persuade.

Tang Mubei ignored the worried Assistant You, stepped over, opened the door, and went in, leaving the big assistant outside.

You Shuyang, "..."

Really didn’t want to work under these two brothers anymore, it’s too frustrating, isn’t it!

When Tang Mubei went in, Tang Yuxiu was buried in work, not knowing if he was unaware or aware but unresponsive to someone entering.

Tang Mubei looked at Young Master Tang’s appearance, which was a stark contrast to the once meticulous and rigorously awe-inspiring image.

The hair was a bit messy, with faint dark circles, stubble popping out, the suit collar was already untidy, two buttons on the shirt undone, sleeves also undone, suit jacket opened, revealing the white shirt inside...

This messy attire, unexpectedly, belonged to Tang Yuxiu.

Tang Mubei simply couldn’t believe it!

This... Did his big brother get possessed by a ghost?

Tang Mubei stood in his office for a good while, and Tang Yuxiu just buried himself in the pile of documents, ignoring him.

He thought to himself, it seems he was indeed severely hurt, turning into a workaholic for three days and nights without sleep isn’t enough, even his reaction ability has become so dull.

Tang Mubei walked to his desk and knocked on the tabletop with one hand.

Tang Yuxiu didn’t react, nor did he look up.

Tang Mubei knocked again.

Tang Yuxiu still didn’t react, didn’t look up.

Tang Mubei, "..."

Has his presence become this low? Or has Tang Yuxiu’s reaction ability become this dull?

Tang Mubei was willing to believe it was the latter, so he sighed inwardly, his big brother was too deeply hurt, turning into this.

Pitiful, pitiful...

After a while, just as Tang Mubei was thinking about how to speak, Tang Yuxiu suddenly closed the documents, leaned back, looked up at Tang Mubei.

Tang Mubei, "..."

Tang Yuxiu’s gaze was so deep it was unfathomable, with his current appearance, it gave the impression of a rascal, but also particularly cold.

Yes, like a reclusive, eccentric artist.

Ah, spitting, calling him an artist is really flattering him.

Tang Mubei inwardly complained.

"Did You Shuyang call you here?" Tang Yuxiu spoke, though it was a question, he was already sure.

His voice was very hoarse; Tang Mubei knew he hadn’t spoken much for several days, plus constant late-night work, leading to such a voice.

Moreover, as Tang Yuxiu raised his head to look at him, following the light, he clearly saw his face.

His complexion wasn’t good, with a sickly pallor, yet it also had a slight abnormal flush.

Tang Mubei slightly frowned, "Are you sick?"

"No." He couldn’t feel any discomfort, even if there really was, he couldn’t feel it.

"Your complexion says it all, big brother, now’s not the time to hold on stubbornly. Dad’s already down, if you go down too, I have no capacity to bear everything of the Tang Family."

Tang Mubei spoke calmly, it wasn’t a threat, nor persuasion, just facts.

Tang Mubei was never interested in business, thinking as long as he had an all-capable, smart older brother to inherit the family business and hold down Tang Family, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything, so he never learned about business management, dealing very little in this aspect.

He only knew how to take photographs, and occasionally helped Qiu Ye when solving difficult cases.

That’s about his usefulness.

"Don’t worry, I won’t fall." Tang Yuxiu said.

Tang Mubei snorted, "Big brother, don’t talk nonsense, just look at yourself now, saying you’re perfectly fine, who would believe it? Do you even believe it?"

"I believe." Tang Yuxiu looked at him, answered expressionlessly.

Tang Mubei, "..." His big brother’s true talent for rebuttal left him momentarily speechless. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"In any case, you’re definitely sick now, plus busy for three days and nights continuously, barely eating, continuing like this you won’t last, don’t turn around and end up keeping dad company in the hospital."

"Don’t curse me, I’m fine, I know my own body."

"You know squat!" Tang Mubei, usually so composed as a gentleman, couldn’t help but curse.

Tang Yuxiu coldly stared at him, "Tang Mubei, I’ve got a lot to handle now, if you came to waste words, scram early."

Damn, so rude!

Tang Mubei wanted to punch his face.

If it weren’t for his family’s assistant begging so pitifully, if it weren’t because if he fell, he would have to take over this wretched mess, if it weren’t seeing him as his very own big brother despite venom and disdain, would he come here for this embarrassment to look at his face?

What a joke!

"This matter won’t get done anyway, rather go rest early, recharge for continued handling."

Tang Mubei held back his temper, considering you just broke up for unknown reasons, he sympathized with shared fate, temporarily not arguing with you.

"I’ve already said I’m fine, and will be fine, you can leave."

"Heh, you think I wanted to come, Tang Yuxiu, if you don’t want to pull through, want to keep going downhill, who could stop you, but consider it clearly, you bear the mantle of the Tang Family, have Tang Group under your feet, you need to be responsible for them."

The Tang Family, Tang Group...

Always these things!

It’s because of the so-called Tang Family, Tang Group, because of his father, he lost the woman he loved most!

Recalling Gu Yan’s resolute back when she left, his heart felt tightly bound by countless vines, unable to breathe.

He suddenly slammed the desk and stood up, expression slightly ferocious, tone icy and vicious.

"Don’t bring up the Tang Family or Tang Group again! I damn well don’t want to take on this crap! Why was I born into the Tang Family! Because I’m named Tang, do you know what I’ve lost! Tang Mubei, what I’ve lost now, is what you now lack!"

"The woman I love most has cut ties with me, never to return, you’ve experienced this pain too, how could it be let go just overnight!"

Tang Mubei listened to Tang Yuxiu’s almost gnashing words, utterly shocked.
