Xia Qing Tian heard Gu Yao Yang’s explanation and looked at the equity transfer contract, also somewhat stunned.
She had told Gu Yao Yang not to do this, hadn’t she?
She shifted her gaze to Xia Hong Lang. At this moment, she had to hear what her father had to say.
Xia Hong Lang knew that Gu Yao Yang was expressing his sincerity, wanting to reassure Xia Hong Lang and let him know that he was genuinely dating Xia Qing Tian, not just playing around or looking to take advantage.
Xia Hong Lang’s displeasure eased considerably due to Gu Yao Yang’s action.
“Qing Tian, since it’s Yao Yang’s sincere intention, you should sign it,” Xia Hong Lang said.
“But…” Xia Qing Tian knew the market value and future prospects of Gu’s Entertainment very well. Just in the trial period of their relationship, it was already like this; she actually felt quite pressured.
“Since Yao Yang has already expressed his sincerity, then I’ll show my stance too,” Xia Hong Lang said. “I will also transfer five percent of my shares to you. The contract terms will be the same as yours.”
“Uncle Xia, this…” Gu Yao Yang was about to say it wasn’t necessary when Xia Hong Lang interrupted him with a raised hand.
“My daughter is looking for a boyfriend, not a livelihood. She is still Xia Hong Lang’s daughter. Xia Shi will always have a share for her, and I will always be her backing,” Xia Hong Lang said. “You young people like fairness, so it’s better to carry fairness to the end.”
Hearing Xia Hong Lang say this, Gu Yao Yang said nothing further. He glanced at Xia Qing Tian again. Seeing her nod slightly, Gu Yao Yang agreed.
After Xia Qing Tian signed the contract, Xia Hong Lang took the equity transfer contract prepared by his secretary to Gu’s Entertainment the next morning.
Once Gu Yao Yang signed it, both contracts became effective.
Xia Hong Lang finally let out a long sigh of relief, the knot in his heart truly untangled.
He could see Gu Yao Yang’s cherish for Xia Qing Tian, and he had also shown his attitude.
That was enough.
Xia Qing Tian was still in a daze. She didn’t really understand why her simple act of dating like an ordinary girl had caused such a huge stir.
However, she understood Gu Yao Yang’s feelings for her and Xia Hong Lang’s affection for her. This was her foundation.
This life would ultimately be different from her previous one; she was deeply loved in this life.
She also loved and cherished those who loved her.
“Qing Tian, you and your Mr. Gu have completely dominated the trending searches these past few days,” Li Xiao Xiao said, scrolling through her phone. “There are so many people congratulating you, but quite a few also think you and Mr. Gu won’t last.”
“Won’t last? Why?” Xia Qing Tian finally turned to look at Li Xiao Xiao.
“What else could it be? Jealousy. They say there’s no love in capitalism, or that celebrity couples are fake. Ultimately, it’s just jealousy,” Li Xiao Xiao said, rolling her eyes. “Don’t pay attention to them. I’m very optimistic about you! Go for it! My boss’s wife!”
“Stop it,” Xia Qing Tian said, amused by Li Xiao Xiao. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Er Ya sneakily appear at her classroom door, looking around.
“Er Ya.” Li Xiao Xiao saw her too and immediately waved. “Are you looking for us?”
“Shh! Come quickly, come quickly~” Er Ya made a shushing gesture and then beckoned to Xia Qing Tian and Li Xiao Xiao. “This way!”
Xia Qing Tian and Er Ya exchanged a look before walking out of the classroom together. “What is it?”
Er Ya pulled the two to the stairwell corner, first glancing left and right to make sure no one was around, then quietly said to them, “Old Tang asked me to tell you that the surgery time has been set. He will be the chief surgeon, with a seventy percent success rate. If you have anything you want to say to Da Ya and the others, go over at noon today.”
Since Er Ya and Professor Tang argued more and more frequently, Er Ya refused to call him “Professor Tang” anymore, opting for “Old Tang.” When they argued fiercely, she would even call him “Stubborn Old Tang.”
“The surgery is so soon?” Li Xiao Xiao blinked, finding it still a bit sudden.
“Only a seventy percent success rate?” Xia Qing Tian’s brow furrowed.
“You can ask him about the specifics at noon. I’m going back now,” Er Ya said. “Remember to bring food at noon. Da Ya wants braised chicken chunks and grilled cold noodles, and Old Tang wants beef noodles.”
“Got it,” Xia Qing Tian said, reaching out to flick Er Ya’s nose. “You don’t have to be so sneaky just to pass on this message, do you?”
“What are you talking about? After I tell you, I’m going to sneak off. I’m going to find Xia Shang,” Er Ya said. “I’m sneaking off behind Old Tang’s back, so I have to be careful, right?”
“Is there something you need from my uncle?” Xia Qing Tian asked. “Is it related to Professor Miao? Or…”
“Neither. Da Ya might not survive this surgery. I plan to bring Xia Shang to see her one last time, after all, he’s my man,” Er Ya said, stroking her chin. “I usually show off to her, so let her see the real person.”
Xia Qing Tian was already feeling uneasy, and hearing Er Ya say this made her heart pound even harder. She frowned. Before she could ask further, Er Ya had already waved her hands and fled.
After Er Ya left, Li Xiao Xiao comforted her a few times before Xia Qing Tian managed a reluctant smile and returned to the classroom with Li Xiao Xiao.
After this class was lunchtime. Li Xiao Xiao went to buy food separately, asking Xia Qing Tian to go to the laboratory to check the situation first.
When Xia Qing Tian arrived at the laboratory, she realized Er Ya had only conveyed half the information.
“Da Ya’s surgery has a success rate of over ninety percent, it’s basically fine,” Professor Tang replied while comparing sample reaction data. “The one inside, her success rate is lower, around seventy percent. She’s been poisoned for too long. Recuperation can only strengthen her physique, it can’t restore the damaged central nervous system.”
“What will happen then?” Xia Qing Tian asked Professor Tang. “Will she be in life-threatening danger?”
“Most likely not,” Professor Tang thought for a moment and said, “but her memory… it’s probably impossible to save.”
“Memory…” Xia Qing Tian hesitated. “When is the surgery scheduled?”
“It’s definitely better sooner, but…” Professor Tang smacked his lips, his expression somewhat troubled. “She insists on waiting until another half a month.”
“Another half a month…” Xia Qing Tian’s gaze shifted. There was still half a month until Yu Zi Xuan and Yue Cheng Feng’s wedding…
“I really don’t understand you young people; you treat your lives like nothing,” Professor Tang shook his head and said, “Da Ya can wait, but the other person faces more danger with each passing day.”
“Professor Tang, can the surgery be done in Kyoto?” Xia Qing Tian said after some thought. “I’ll have someone make arrangements, and the surgery will be done in Kyoto in half a month.”
She knew that Gou Wen was afraid of forgetting Yu Zi Xuan, the sister who had supported her to live until now and whom she had been searching for.
