War of Roses: The Proud Tycoon，Please Surrender!-Chapter 338: Only Gu Yan Can Cheer Him Up

Gu Yan’s body was taken back by Yan Shuo and Xiao Xiao, a simple funeral was held, and the ashes were buried in the West Mountain Cemetery.

Everyone attended the funeral except for Tang Yuxiu. Since leaving the morgue that day, he had not appeared again.

Tang Yuxiu hadn’t been to the company for the entire week. Tang Mubei and others had also gone to the villa to find him, but the lights were never on in the villa, so they thought he wasn’t there.

There was no trace of Tang Yuxiu anywhere to be found.

In the vast villa, even at night, the lights remained off, and the room was shrouded in darkness with closed curtains, so no moonlight could penetrate.

The room reeked of alcohol, and by the piano, someone was leaning on the foot stand.

Tang Yuxiu closed his eyes slightly. Beside him lay countless empty bottles, and he still held a bottle of wine in his hand, taking a sip from time to time.

It seemed as though the sound of a piano was playing in his ears, and Tang Yuxiu would occasionally smile faintly, but the sound seemed to fade away, and gradually, his smile disappeared. His half-open eyes were filled with indescribable emptiness and loneliness.

In his other hand, he still held a phone, and perhaps thinking of something, he turned on the phone’s screen, and Gu Yan’s face appeared in his eyes.

"Yanyan..." he murmured softly, yet his voice was so hoarse it was beyond recognition.

The light from the phone screen illuminated his face—disheveled hair, emerging stubble, dark circles lined his face, and even his clothes were still the ones he wore in the hospital that day.

The scars on his face from Yan Shuo’s beating were still there, albeit slightly faded.

He suddenly took another swig of the wine, some of it dribbling down the corner of his mouth, sliding down his neck, soaking into his clothes, but he paid no attention to it, as if he felt nothing.

This was the same President Tang who once commanded awe in the business world, allowing no one to approach within three feet.

The very well-known, extremely germophobic Young Master Tang.

So unkempt, not a hint of brilliance.

Gu Yan’s departure seemed to take away this once aspiring prince in everyone’s eyes.

When the phone warned of low battery about to shut down, Tang Yuxiu finally scrambled around looking for a charger. Only after charging it did he sit down again, staring at the person on his phone screen.

Perhaps for the rest of his life, it would be spent with her constant image, quietly watching as time weathered him into an old man, and then peacefully passing away.

Yanyan, we agreed you would wait for me, whether in heaven or hell, you must keep waiting for me, no matter how long it takes, wait for me to find you.

You Shuyang had previously gone to an information-blocking area to investigate the events of twenty years ago, and by the time he heard the news and contacted Tang Mubei and the others, a week had already passed. He hurried back immediately.

He tracked Tang Yuxiu’s phone location to the villa, and fortunately, he had a spare key, allowing him to enter with ease.

You Shuyang and Tang Mubei searched the villa for him and finally found him in the piano room.

The two of them had never seen Tang Yuxiu so lost and disheveled in their lives, and they couldn’t help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

"Bro!"

"Yu Xiu, what are you doing!" You Shuyang and Tang Mubei waded through a floor of empty bottles and, without giving him a chance to resist, dragged him up, intending to leave the piano room.

Tang Yuxiu suddenly broke free with force, "Get out, don’t touch me!"

However, due to not eating for days, his entire body was weak, and even after breaking free, he staggered a few steps from lack of strength, collapsing on the ground.

He didn’t move anymore, just lay there on the floor, staring at the ceiling, holding his phone tightly in his hand.

The two looked at him like this, their hearts a mix of anger and helplessness.

Putting themselves in his shoes, if they had lost the person they loved the most, they wouldn’t know what they’d become either.

But Tang Yuxiu couldn’t continue to waste away like this; he couldn’t hold on if he continued!

Many people, many things still needed him.

"Yu Xiu, I’ve found some clues from back then, and maybe soon, it can be proven that the old president had nothing to do with that year’s incident."

Tang Yuxiu remained unmoved; Gu Yan was already gone, so what was the point in finding out these things?

He no longer needed them.

You Shuyang knew he was discouraged, and nothing could bring him back to his senses, so he could only say, "You should know better than anyone else how much torment and pain Gu Yan went through because of this, even if she’s... gone, if this matter could be cleared up, she would leave more peacefully and happily."

Nothing else could move Tang Yuxiu anymore, but Gu Yan could.

For the deceased Gu Yan, this matter had always been the biggest thorn in her heart, causing her immense pain and separating her from Tang Yuxiu.

If the issue was cleared up, it would be a great gift for her; at least her regrets would be fewer.

Tang Yuxiu pursed his lips, then finally rasped, "You’re right."

You Shuyang and Tang Mubei exchanged a glance and stepped forward to help him up again. This time, he did not resist, allowing them to support him out.

Once out of the room, the entire villa was bright with light. Having stayed in the dark for so long, the sudden brightness was blinding to Tang Yuxiu, causing him to close his eyes.

They helped him to the sofa to sit, and You Shuyang poured him a glass of water.

"Yu Xiu, get yourself together and go back to work as soon as possible. You forgot, the promotion of Gu Yan’s music was supposed to be a few days ago, but because you weren’t there, it was postponed. Gu Yan really hoped her music could reach more people, bringing joy to many. This thing hasn’t been done for her yet. She’d be very disappointed."

Tang Yuxiu lowered his head, turning on his phone, staring at Gu Yan’s face. He remembered her joyful, happy smile when she knew he would promote her music to more people.

He nodded slowly, "You’re right, we need to promote the music."

You Shuyang and Tang Mubei breathed a sigh of relief.

They no longer mentioned that the Tang Family or the Tang Family needs him, or that the brothers can’t lose him, only mentioning Gu Yan; now, only Gu Yan could motivate him to stand back up.

"Shuyang, you don’t need to worry about the company’s matters, just investigate this. It must be fully uncovered."

He wanted to tell her the truth about this personally, even if he couldn’t see her; he could still feel her relief.

Yanyan, even if we are separated by heaven and earth, we can still be together forever.

No hatred, no obstacles.

"Rest assured, I’ve already got a lead. It shouldn’t take too long."

Tang Yuxiu leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes, rasping, "You guys go ahead and leave, I’ll go to the company tomorrow."

Tang Mubei and You Shuyang exchanged a worried glance, still unsure about leaving him alone, but they nodded.

"I’ll have someone bring over food and clean up for you."

"There’s no need for now, just go."

You Shuyang and Tang Mubei could only leave for now.
