Lang Jie comes home not only for holiday, but also to celebrate her birthday. As a member of the wealthiest family in G City, she has friends from either wealthy or high-ranking families.
"I heard your second sister-in-law is a divorced lady," Lang Jie and her friends are receiving facial beautification in the beauty salon. They show a keen interest in Yan Hua.
"Ask her to the birthday party on the weekend," one of them says, "So that we can see the modern Cinderella."
Having facial mask on her face, Lang Jie says with straightened mouth, "She is now most looked after as a pregnant woman."
"We won"t kill her," another girl says in a despising way, "You can"t even handle a widow?"
The others laugh and say the same words. Lang Jie, throwing away the facial mask, sits up, "OK. But don"t do too much to her. Otherwise my mom will criticize me heavily."
Yan Hua does not know she has been sold by Lang Jie. It is very hot these days and she keeps vomiting. As a result, she even doesn"t go downstairs.
"Hua, do you want fruit?" Lang Jia knocks at the door before entering the room with a fruit plate in her hands.
Yan Hua is about to sleep. But she cheers up and says, "Thank you. But I just vomited."
"You are still vomiting?" Lang Jia puts down the plate, "I was told the new cook is quite good."
"Yes, she is." Yan Hua is quite satisfied with the house maid cooking for her. She has wonderful cooking skills and meals prepared by her can alleviate her vomiting.
"It is not hot today. Would you go out for a walk this afternoon?" Lang Jia asks her, "We can buy something for the baby."
Yan Hua"s eyes blink, "Not today. I am not feeling very well today. It"s too hot."
After observing them for a few days, she now understands very well the temper of these two misses in Lang Family.
Lang Jie is unruly, headstrong and impulsive. However, Yan Hua doesn"t have to worry about her because Lang Jie speaks out what she thinks. But Lang Jia looks mild in temper and...
"They are genuine misses in Lang Family, but you..."
Probably, Lang Ruoxian said the above words to remind her of something, or just said them without any intention. No matter what the purpose he had, Yan Hua has to keep some distance from him, who might do evil things to her in a secret way.
She has to stay away from him, without even the slightest wish to get along with him.
"All right. Let us go when you are getting better." Lang Jie leaves in disappointment.
Her expression changes when she gets out of the room.
"Who do you think you are? You are actually n.o.body." She would not approach Yan Hua at all if Lang Ruoxian didn"t tell her the baby can be utilized.
Yan Hua thinks she could continue to live a peaceful life of pregnancy after refusing the offer from Lang Jia. But on Friday, Lang Jie comes suddenly.
"Go to my birthday party tonight."
Yan Hua blinks her eyes, looking quite puzzled.
"Don"t you understand me?" Lang Jie feels uncomfortable with her face.
A pregnant woman looks so seductive. She says in impatience, "I am inviting you to my birthday party."
"Well..." Yan Hua touches her belly and says lazily, "No, I won"t go."
"What did you say?" Lang Jie opens wider her eyes, "You should have appreciated my respect to you, but you..."
"I don"t need your respect," Yan Hua interrupts her. You look so disgusted by me. But why are you here?
Lang Jie has her hand on the chest, "How dare you talk to me like this?"
"You have to respect others before you obtain respect from others," Yan Hua touches her forehead. She is in bad mood these days, preparing to drive Lang Jie out of her room.
"I am in a good heart to invite you to the party," Lang Jie intends to leave. However, she is afraid her friends would despise her if Yan Hua refuses to attend the party.
She has to show her patience, "You are now a member in Lang Family. You are positioned to follow me to know the people in our circle. Otherwise, they don"t know who you are."
"Probably they just want to see a pregnant Cinderella."
Yan Hua understands very clearly that her story might be told many times among the upper-cla.s.s people.
"Aren"t you a pregnant Cinderella?" Lang Jie says ironically, "They would think you feel ashamed if you refuse to go."
"I won"t go," Yan Hua shakes her head. She would be crazy if she went.
Lang Jie feels offended, "You have to go. Just wait and see."
Yan Hua underestimates Lang Jie"s determination. In the evening, Lang Jie finds something for Uncle Lee to do and asks her bodyguard to force Yan Hua into the car.
"Miss Lang," Yan Hua looks at her coldly, "You are kidnapping me."
"Bulls.h.i.t," Lang Jie tells the driver to start the engine, "I am taking you to some fun."
Seeing the car driving out of Lang"s house, Yan Hua feels worried and upset. She has to persuade Lang Jie in patience.
"You know how many people are there in the pub? You know my physical situation. If something happens, how can you explain to your mom?"
Lang Jie says indifferently, "Never try to scarce me away with my mom. Will she refuse to recognize me as her daughter just for you? Besides, I am taking you to the clubhouse, which is only open to members. Just feel relaxed."
