Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 618 - 615: Send Her to His Side

Chapter 618: Chapter 615: Send Her to His Side

Ming Yao was tightly embraced in the arms of Gu Siting, her small face pressed against his solid, broad chest. He held her so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

Without struggling, Ming Yao’s body trembled slightly, as though she had been frightened.

Gu Siting looked at the sports car not far away, his dark eyes swept over the license plate, and a fierce and gloomy light flashed in his narrow eyes.

Ming Yao felt the chilling, terrifying aura emanating from the man.

"Yaoyao, are you okay?"

Ming Yao lifted her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, "I’m fine."

She didn’t speak ill of Gong Yue and the Luminous Pearl.

The more she was like this, the more guilty and self-blaming Gu Siting felt inside.

"I promise, such a thing will never happen again."

Gong Yue and the Luminous Pearl returned to the Presidential Residence. After Gong Yue had a doctor tend to the Luminous Pearl’s injured forehead, she hurried to Old Lady Gong’s chamber.

Old Lady Gong was in the rest room drinking tea. Seeing Gong Yue arrive in a fluster, she frowned, "What’s wrong, you look so pale!"

Recalling Gu Siting’s chilly and foreboding gaze, Gong Yue still felt a continuous chill creeping up her spine.

Zhuzhu’s impulsiveness could provoke his vengeance.

"Mom, you know about the signing I was supposed to have with President Ling from Duoer Vineyard, don’t you?"

Old Lady Gong nodded her head, "I know."

"But today, President Ling signed with Ming Yao. Where did Ming Yao get the ability to steal my business? Isn’t it just because she’s relying on Gong Siting’s power?"

"Zhuzhu couldn’t stand it. She saw Ming Yao standing by the roadside, so she drove her sports car towards her, wanting to scare her a bit, not really to hit her. But then Gong Siting suddenly appeared, and he crashed his own car into the rear of Zhuzhu’s, causing Zhuzhu to injure her forehead!"

"He looked at me and Zhuzhu as if seeing his enemies. Even though we’re supposed to be family, he takes Ming Yao’s side in everything. Mom, Ming Yao might already know about the things our Gong Family did back in the day. She’s now using Gong Siting as a weapon to take revenge on us!"

"She never used to get involved with the Vineyard; now she’s openly competing with me for business. This must be her first step towards revenge!"

Hearing Gong Yue’s words, Old Lady Gong’s brow furrowed deeply.

Old Lady Gong had dealt with Ming Yao before; that woman was really not simple.

When she left the capital back then, she was pregnant, and now, most importantly, she had a child with Gong Siting.

Even Gong Xiao, in order to please his little granddaughter, was unwilling to stand on the same side as her now.

"Mom, do you think Gong Siting will do anything to me and Zhuzhu?"

Old Lady Gong looked at the terrified Gong Yue, her eyes revealing a look of sympathy.

Gong Yue was her most cherished daughter, who had everything she wanted. When had she ever been so aggrieved?

No matter how much Gong Siting doted on Ming Yao, could she compare to her daughter?

Would Gong Siting dare to hurt her daughter? Let’s see him try!

"He wouldn’t dare."

It was only after hearing Old Madam’s words that Gong Yue could breathe a little easier.

"Mom, Ming Yao is too arrogant now. Are we just going to let her be like this?"

A look of calculation and depth appeared in Old Lady Gong’s eyes, "Of course not."

Old Lady Gong clapped her hands, and the butler immediately came in.

"Bring the person here."

After a while, the butler brought in a figure with a graceful physique.

The girl was about to come of age, her small face was bright and charming, and her skin was so delicate it seemed to ooze water.

Her slender phoenix eyes were full of tender emotions, and a tiny tear mole at the corner of her eyes made her even more alluring.

The girl had the typical golden ratio figure, and a long red dress made her look like a fairy that had descended to earth.

Most crucially, this girl looked very much like Ming Yao.

No, she looked like a younger version of Ming Yao.

Such a girl was most pleasing to people because she had the innocence of a young girl and the charm of a young woman.

A natural enchantress.

Gong Yue’s eyes lit up when she saw the girl.

She quickly understood Old Lady Gong’s intention.

"Mom, the reason you’re looking for her is..."

Old Lady Gong picked up the teacup and lightly sipped, "To have her give birth to a son for Gong Siting."

"Mom, now that Gong Siting is wholly devoted to Ming Yao, would he let her give birth?"

Old Lady Gong looked at the young and beautiful Xie Qier, "Qier, that will depend on your performance."

Xie Qier thought of the tall and handsome Mr. President, a bashful expression appearing on her radiant face as she lowered her long eyelashes, "Old Madam, please rest assured."

"Perform well, and I’ll have someone send you to the President’s sleeping palace later."

The butler spoke up from the side, "Old Madam, His Excellency hasn’t returned to the sleeping palace recently; he’s staying at the manor in the city."

"Then send Qier to the manor."

...

Gu Siting took Ming Yao back to the villa.

Ming Yao did not accept the manor he offered, only promising to bring the two children to play when she had time.

After all, the gift was too valuable, and accepting it would only burden her conscience.

Gu Siting did not press her.

In time, when she became his wife again, she would naturally accept it.

After returning to the villa, Ming Yao did not ask Gu Siting to stay any longer.

Although she hadn’t blamed him at all from start to finish, he could feel her coldness and distance.

He could understand her feelings.

Anyone who had nearly been hit would feel fear and displeasure.

That she didn’t vent her anger on him was the greatest concession she could make.

On the way back to the manor, Gu Siting made a phone call to Lu Zhou.

"Tell the banks to stop lending to the Gong Yue Winery."

As the first secretary to Mr. President, Lu Zhou knew better than to ask unnecessary questions.

Telling the banks to stop lending would be a fatal blow to Gong Yue Winery.

"Yes."

"How is the collection of the Gong Yue Winery’s issues going, the one I asked you to look into last time?"

"We’ve uncovered a problematic wine."

"Launch an investigation."

Lu Zhou, "Your Excellency, won’t this possibly cause the Presidential Residence to have an unfavorable opinion of you?"

"You tell Gong Yue that if she and Luminous Pearl don’t apologize to Ming Yao, then they should wait for the court summons!"

Lu Zhou was taken aback.

He had now witnessed the adage that one loves power but loves a beauty more!

...

After returning to the manor, Gu Siting made a phone call to Ming Yao.

But she didn’t answer.

He felt somewhat frustrated and upset.

Ever since she found out that he was feigning amnesia, he always felt as if there was a thin film separating them.

Of course, he could understand her feelings.

Learning about one’s own origins and the annihilation of one’s family, who could truly remain indifferent?

She wanted to obtain the Vineyard from Gong Yue’s hands, and he understood her intentions; he could understand everything she did.

If she demanded his life, Gu Siting’s life, today, he would give it to her without hesitation.

But what exactly could he do to make her genuinely happy?

Gu Siting walked over to the bar, took a bottle of wine out of the cabinet, and began to drink in a troubled state.

After not knowing how many glasses he had downed, he looked up for a moment and saw a slender figure in red.

"Yaoyao—"
