Chapter 1623: Chapter 1317: I Want to See You_3

He spent a whole half month, contacting almost everyone he could think of, and finally came up with a way to bring down the Xu Family.

At the end of July, he contacted Li Guirong, asking her to arrange a meeting with Shi Yuanbo.

After Li Guirong left, he talked with Shi Yuanbo for a full three hours, but Shi Yuanbo did not immediately agree to his plan.

Perhaps he was concerned about something; businessmen focus on profit, yet he hesitated even when presented with such a great opportunity.

Could it be that he still had feelings for Xu Hua?

This made Yu Dou find it funny; a man who betrayed his wife talking about feelings is laughable!

Shi Yuanbo said he would think about it carefully and give him an answer in three days.

After Shi Yuanbo left, he found a chance to call Li Guirong and asked her to persuade Shi Yuanbo.

He wasn’t sure if it was Li Guirong’s persuasion that had an effect, or if Shi Yuanbo figured something out on his own, but three days later, Shi Yuanbo agreed to his plan.

Afterward, with the Shi Family pushing things behind the scenes, internal conflicts within the Xu Family grew, bringing them to the brink of bankruptcy.

Old Sir Xu’s second daughter, Xu Jing, came back to the country upon hearing the situation, trying to save it, but it was ultimately too late. The Xu Family barely held on for another year before going bankrupt.

After the Xu Family’s bankruptcy, under Yu Dou’s arrangement, Shi Yuanbo quickly took over the Xu Family.

The Xu Family, like a big cake, was instantly snatched clean, with the biggest piece claimed by the Shi Family.

Everyone who heard was filled with sighs and regret. The once-popular Xu Family had vanished from T City within three short years—so fast it was hard to believe.

What was even harder to believe was that after the Xu Family’s bankruptcy, Shi Yuanbo, as Old Sir Xu’s son-in-law, not only didn’t help the Xu Family but took the opportunity to seize it.

Xu Jing was so furious when she learned of this that she left the country with Old Lady Xu, while Xu Hua’s relationship with Shi Yuanbo became strained, their marriage damaged.

That was precisely the result he wanted. He hoped Xu Hua would resent Shi Yuanbo and divorce him, leaving him completely.

But he didn’t expect Xu Hua not to do that; he was angry and couldn’t understand why.

Why did Xu Hua have to be so foolish? This man took away her father’s company, why wouldn’t she leave him?

Did she love Shi Yuanbo that much? That much?

He was very angry, thinking perhaps he was the foolish one—others were a couple with a daughter; how could they divorce just because of this?

Or maybe Xu Hua needed to know her husband was cheating, unfaithful to their marriage and love.

Only then, only then would Xu Hua wake up.

That day, he drank a lot, getting thoroughly drunk. When he woke up, the sky outside was dark.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but felt it was a long time. His head hurt, hurt terribly.

His stomach was also very hungry, and it was in this state of hunger that he knew he was still alive.

He went to the kitchen to look for something to eat, but found nothing; the fridge only contained beer.

He laughed, feeling it was so desolate, really desolate. This world, it was too desolate, too desolate.

It was at that moment the phone rang; he snapped out of it, picked up the phone to answer.

The call was from Li Guirong, who said: "It’s really God helping me, you know? I’m pregnant, and I have a feeling this is going to be a boy..."

Yu Dou frowned, not wanting to care whether Li Guirong was having a boy or a girl; he only knew that even if Xu Hua endured all the grievances and complaints and continued with Shi Yuanbo, she couldn’t save her marriage.

Her deep affection was destined to be betrayed.

Yu Dou didn’t care what happened between Li Guirong and Shi Yuanbo, he only worried about Xu Hua, just worried about Xu Hua.

But how could he help her? He couldn’t even help himself!

That day, he ordered takeout, ate it, and then sat in the room for a long, long time, eventually picking up the phone to dial a number that had echoed in his dreams countless times.

The phone on the other end rang for a long time, finally answered by someone—a woman’s voice, it was Xu Hua.

She said: "Hello? May I ask who this is..."

He exhaled, suppressing the overwhelming pain within him, and softly replied, "It’s me..."

Xu Hua paused for a moment, then asked: "You..."

"I want to see you!"

"..."

That day, they arranged to meet at a café; he arrived ten minutes early, Xu Hua five minutes later.

Not late.

Seeing him, Xu Hua smiled gently and beautifully, just like yesterday.

He smiled too, and asked her: "You still remember me, right?"

She said: "Of course I remember, you’re Yu Dou, Yu as in Yu Sheng, Dou as in capital city!"
