Sophie stared at Zhao Dong for a long time before asking, "Zhao Dong, I think why are you a little different today than before?"
Zhao Dong replied to her, "It's nothing different. It's just that you all thought I was a little security guard who spoke softly and never listened to my words seriously."
Sophie's thoughts were exposed, and she explained unnaturally: "You are overthinking."
Zhao Dong's tone was particularly tough today, "Actually, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time. I, Zhao Dong, am not as useless as your Su family thinks. It's just that we are a money-worshiping society, and everyone is measured by money.
The abilities and status of others are the same for Aunt Mei and the same for you. I don't want to argue."
Sophie was stunned for a moment. Is it wrong to use wealth to measure a person's ability?
"I know that you must think that Xu Huayang is more capable than me. I won't comment on whether he can help you attract investment. But if he wants to pass this matter and strangle Su's throat at the critical moment, it will be easy.
!”
Sophie knew that what Zhao Dong said was true, but in her past memories, Xu Huayang was not such a despicable villain.
Then he argued for him, "He is not that kind of person."
Finding that Sophie had been defending Xu Huayang all night, Zhao Dong didn't want to waste any more words, "Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. It's your business whether you listen or not."
Seeing Zhao Dong about to leave, Sophie quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
"If you don't let me go, I will go downstairs to deal with it all night. Let's take some time tomorrow and let's go through the formalities."
Zhao Dong finally said what he had been holding in all night. He was not as relaxed as he had imagined, but rather felt a little lost.
He had made countless efforts, plans and assumptions for Sophie and the relationship between the two, but he did not expect that it would end in an embarrassing situation.
Sophie was also stunned, "Going through the formalities?"
She had expected this scene countless times, but she didn't expect it to come out of Zhao Dong's mouth.
Out of her usual pride, she couldn't accept this kind of frustration.
She sneered and asked, "Why, are you giving up now? Didn't you say you would be responsible for me at the beginning?"
"My promise has never changed. You said you regretted it. I just fulfilled your promise!"
Zhao Dong took a deep breath. Every time he thought of what Sophie said tonight, he felt so depressed that he couldn't get rid of it.
In front of Xu Huayang, her former lover, she actually confessed that she was not as capable as him, and even confessed that she regretted it.
Although it was wrong for him to do it, did Sophie consider his feelings when she said these words?
He could give up everything for Sophie, and even endure his anger in front of Aunt Mei, but he was not a submissive punching bag.
Before Zhao Dong could reach the door, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him, "Wait a minute!"
He turned around in surprise.
Sophie hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I drank a lot at night and was angry. I spoke without thinking. I didn't mean to look down on you."
These soft words were unprecedented for her, but how should she speak further?
Is it possible to ask her to apologize?
In fact, she also knew that what she said tonight was a bit hurtful, especially when she said it in front of Xu Huayang, without taking Zhao Dong's feelings into consideration.
But that was all she could explain. If Zhao Dong didn't accept it, there was nothing she could do, and there was no way she could apologize.
Sophie couldn't think of a clue, so she simply said: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said. If you insist on going through the formalities, I won't stop you!"
Zhao Dong's emotional intelligence came online and he immediately heard what Sophie meant. She didn't want the relationship between the two to end, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she gave herself the decision-making power on the matter.
But what does she mean, is she really reluctant to give up, or is it for some other reason?
He couldn't think of an answer.
Seeing that Zhao Dong was silent, Sophie asked, "Please tell me, why are you complaining? Can I still stop you from finding a new love?"
Zhao Dong didn't know how to open his mouth, so he definitely didn't want to break up. After getting along with each other for a period of time, Sophie already had a very important role in his heart.
Otherwise tonight, I wouldn't be in a state of despair and chaos just because of a few angry words from her.
But what he said in the showdown just now was so cool and unrestrained, and then he opened his mouth to ask for peace in the blink of an eye?
Not to mention Sophie, even he would look down on himself!
He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Sophie understood the meaning of the irrelevant answer. Like her, Zhao Dong didn't want this relationship to end, but he was just too embarrassed to speak.
Sophie didn't ask any further questions and replied with a rare tacit understanding, "Much better."
Zhao Dong breathed a sigh of relief and followed the trend: "Don't stay up late in the future. Drinking wine can be pushed to social events. If you can't push it away, you can't drink it with it, and you must drink it at room temperature!"
Normally, Sophie would have been annoyed by being nagged like this, but now she felt even warmer.
She could tell that Zhao Dong acquiesced to her going out to socialize and to have contact with Xu Huayang, and she suddenly felt that the pressure all over her body was relieved a lot.
Given Su's current situation, it is almost impossible for her to turn down all social activities, not to mention that Xu Huayang still holds a sum of money that can determine Su's fate.
In fact, Zhao Dong is not a stingy man, and it's not that he doesn't trust Sophie. He can also understand the social entertainment she talks about.
He was just a little hostile towards Xu Huayang, but it wasn't that simple jealousy.
With Sophie's excellence, she has so many suitors around her. If they were so angry every time, would they still have to quarrel every day?
He just felt that Xu Huayang's sudden appearance next to Sophie at this time had some impure motives. Especially after what happened tonight, he felt that the other party was a hypocrite with ulterior motives.
Sophie is actually a very shrewd woman, but because of her past relationship, she did not take too much precaution against Xu Huayang, which made Zhao Dong very worried.
But now that the two of them have just reconciled, if they discuss the topic about Xu Huayang, they will inevitably break up again, so they can only find another way to solve this problem.
And even if Sophie makes up her mind to stop contacting Xu Huayang, I'm afraid Aunt Mei will continue to help her.
Rather than being a villain in vain, it is better to wait for things to change.
He believed that if Xu Huayang really had an ulterior motive, sooner or later the fox's tail would show up!
Sophie nodded slightly, as if to promise, "I will try to go home as early as possible from now on."
Zhao Dong said: "If it's too late, just call me and I'll pick you up. If anyone asks, just say I'm your driver."
Sophie was amused by him, "What's the matter? I didn't say anything, but you feel inferior? Are you afraid of embarrassing me?"
Zhao Dongping said: "I understand the rules of the business world. It's okay for me to be looked down upon by others. After all, in this society, there are many people who look down upon others. But if it affects your image, wouldn't I become a sinner?"
Only then did Sophie realize that Zhao Dong had never felt inferior because of his status. The so-called inferiority was just imposed on him by others.
She couldn't help but wonder, what had this man gone through to develop such an invulnerable temperament?
