"Nathaniel, don't take it as I'm really begging you!"
Old Mrs. Tang's didn't try to hide her anger at all. If he had been an ordinary person, he would have been scared out of his wits by now. However, for Nathaniel, he had no expression.
"Mrs. Tang, I don't think you're begging me either. I'm just telling you the truth. Maybe for Abyss, he has been persistent for Mango, but for Mango, he's only a person who has helped her and her elder brother. So tell me whatever you want Mrs. Tang. My daughter is about to wake up, and I have to spend time with her."
Nathaniel had made it very clear.
Seeing him like this, Old Mrs. Tang sighed and said, "Well, since Mr. Ye is being so straightforward, then I'll tell you straight out, too. Abyss has always been obsessed with Mango. If the Tang family wants to take advantage of the favor we have been provided in the past five years, I think even if Mrs. Ye doesn't have the intention to marry the Tang family, she still has to treat Abyss with courtesy. Since Mrs. Ye is not destined to be a member of the Tang family, it's better if you can return this favor."
"Mrs. Tang, what do you want?"
Nathaniel understood what Old Mrs. Tang meant.
She wanted him to repay the help from the Tang family to Mango and her children over the past five years with something practical. In fact, this was the best way.
Although it was Abyss who had helped Mango, Old Mrs. Tang had shown up on behalf of the Tang family. If she could break off their connection, Nathaniel thought it wouldn't be too bad.
In this world, things that could be measured by money were never the issue. This was much better than owing favors.
Old Mrs. Tang saw that Nathaniel was being very understanding and she said in a low voice, "I want to fully manage the cooperation between the two companies this time. Of course, Mr. Ye doesn't have to agree. After all, Mrs. Ye is still a designer of our company. Despite the two companies are under cooperation, as long as the board of directors of our head office don't approve, her design will never meet the market."
"Okay, I'll let you have the right to fully manage this!"
Nathaniel had never cared about those.
"Mrs. Tang, you should want more than this, right? Although I admit that my wife is indeed an excellent designer, and the cars designed by her will definitely lead the trend for a while, which will bring massive profit to the Tang family. But you should be asking more than this, right?"
Nathaniel spoke again.
Old Mrs. Tang felt a little awkward this time.
She indeed wanted more than that, but she didn't know how to say it. After all, being this old, it was a bit difficult for her to bring this up.
Seeing her hesitant expression, Nathaniel sneered and said, "I think Old Mrs. Tang probably wants all the resources of Ye family in the United States, right?"
Old Mrs. Tang was slightly stunned, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.
"Mr. Ye, you are second to none in this country. But in the United States, since we have monopolized the market for so many years, it's not appropriate for your family to suddenly step in."
"After all, Old Mrs. Tang just wants to monopolize the American market. I don't mind. As long as we can return the Tang family's favor for my wife and children in the past five years, I will give you the resources. I promise that from tomorrow, all the business of Ye family will be withdrawn from the United States, and we will never set foot into the United States for the rest of our lives! Are you satisfied now, Mrs. Tang?"
Nathaniel's response was a bit too good to be true for Old Mrs. Tang.
"Do you really mean it, Mr. Ye?"
"Of course, but I always like to be fair. Old Mrs. Tang, I need a written form for this meeting. As long as the Tang family gives out a written form, I, Nathaniel and my future descendants, will never break this contract. But at the same time, from now on, Mango will no longer owe anyone in the Tang family anything!"
Nathaniel's decisive words made Old Mrs. Tang hesitate for a moment, but when she thought of Abyss, she nodded.
"Good! From now on, the Tang family and Mango, as well as Ye family, are even."
"Mango's position in your company in the United States also needs to be canceled at the same time.
I will resign on her behalf. I will send someone to send her resignation letter."
Nathaniel made a prompt decision, leaving not a slightest chance for Abyss.
He couldn't be blamed.
Although he promised Mango that he would not make things difficult for Abyss, it was the Tang family who had brought up the condition. By giving up the market in the United States, Ye family would indeed suffer some losses, and the losses were not that small. But so what?
There was no possibility of a face- to- face confrontation between him and Abyss. Maybe this was what Mango would like to see.
Old Mrs. Tang admired Nathaniel's decisiveness.
When it came to relationship, if Abyss could also be like this, the Tang family would definitely not end up like this by now.
They reached an agreement at the same time.
Nathaniel got up and left the coffee shop. When he left, he left his coffee money behind.
"Since we are even, there's no need for Mrs. Tang to treat me. Farewell!"
Nathaniel quickly returned to the ward.
Rita had already woken up and she was playing chess with Wisdom.
"Grandma, does that mean I have to dedicate everything I have to the Tang family as long as I am the member of the Tang family? I just want to love someone. Is there anything wrong with that? Why couldn't you just approve that? What's wrong with Mango?"
"Even thought she is good with all aspects, she doesn't love you. For this alone, she is not worth your persistence! Abyss, there are tens of millions of women in this world, why are you sticking to this woman who doesn't even love you? Now that the four of them have been reunited, you'd better behave yourself. Do you understand? From now on, Ye family has nothing to do with the Tang family, and your favor to Mango has been paid off. If you do anything to Mango again, think clearly what Nathaniel will do to you and to the Tang family? For the sake of a woman, is it really worth it to cost the entire Tang family? Get out now!"
Old Mrs. Tang directly threw the water cup out.
Abyss didn't dodge. The cup fell on his body, leaving a layer of water stain, but his heart was aching terribly. The person in front of him was his grandmother, the closest person in the world. But only just now, she "stabbed" him hard in the chest.
How did it turn out like this?
Why?
Abyss felt this house was simple so suppressing that he couldn't even breathe.
He couldn't stay here any longer, so he turned around and ran out.
After running out, Abyss found that he had nowhere to go.
He used to spend all his time on Rita. Whenever he had time, he would go to see her. Now she was probably having a good time with Nathaniel, and she even had a brother like Wisdom by her side, how could she have the time to spend with him, her lonely godfather?
The godfather is not the real father after all.
Now that her father was here, so the godfather had been kicked aside, right?
Abyss smiled bitterly, tears sparkling in the corners of his eyes.
Pathetic!
Sad!
In the past five years, he had done everything for a woman, but it was his own grandmother who pulled him back in the end!
Abyss laughed frenziedly as if he had gone crazy. He didn't care how people looked at him, he felt himself really pitiful. What was wrong with loving someone?
Abyss stumbled to a clubhouse.
He had never come to such a place before, but today he just wanted to indulge himself. Maybe after he had indulged himself, he would open up his mind and no longer hold on to that woman named Mango!
