For a moment the whole room becomes quiet, as if the sound is locked up. After a few seconds, the room is seething at once. Yan Hua hears people all start talking at once as well as noisy footsteps. Many people are coming here.“Yan Hua!” Fei Ying stands near her. So she steadies her immediately. She asks Yan Hua, “Did you be hit?”
Yan Hua stands up, “I"m fine.”
“Let me see, when a crystal is broken, it"s the same as the gla.s.s slag. You can"t feel the very small one right now. But when you move and walk, it"ll puncture your skin.”
Fei Ying says and looks at her, trying to make sure whether she has crystal slag on her body.
“No slags on my body.” Yan Hua opens her arms for Fei Ying to see.
Lang Ruoxian and Fei Yi hear the sound inside and run to see them. They see a group of people gathering there. The tall crystal Christmas tree has disappeared.
“What"s wrong?” Walking through the crowd, Lang Ruoxian sees gla.s.s slags on the ground. Like Fei Ying"s reaction, he hurries to check if Yan Hua is hurt.
The head of the hotel runs here and sees the mess. He looks at Yan Hua and others. Then he says with a mournful face, “Lang... Mr. Lang, look...”
They must ask for compensation! Without compensation, they can"t afford to pay for it.
“Mrs. Lang!” Yuan Li is still sitting on the ground. She just fell in the same direction with the Christmas tree. Her legs are covered with wounds. The blood mixed with the shiny gla.s.s dregs looks very weird.
“Ouch!” The person in charge panics and hurriedly calls an ambulance.
Yuan Li is helped stand up and sits on the sofa. She is a little pale, “Mrs. Lang, why did you push me? Well, the great object is destroyed now.”
“I didn"t push you.” Yan Hua says calmly.
Lang Ruoxian looks down at her. Yan Hua shakes her head.
“She said no. That"s it.” When he first came here, he thought Yan Hua and Yuan Li just had a dispute. After all, Yuan Li is angry with them because of the money.
But now it seems that this woman designed the accident. She did it on purpose.
“Mr. Lang, I know Yan Hua has a different relationship with you. But do you really believe her?” Yuan Li laughs, “Do you believe everything she says?”
Yan Hua frowns. It seems that the purpose of this woman today is to destroy the relationship between Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian.
“Yan Hua is our Lang Family"s daughter-in-law, and my sister-in-law. Everyone knows my relationship with her. Should I believe a stranger like you, Mrs. Lu, rather than my family member?”
Yan Hua can realize the purpose of Yuan Li. Lang Ruoxian understands it, too. But he is sure that the woman does not know anything about him and Yan Hua. She just beats the air.
“What do you mean? Mr. Lang.” Yuan Li snorts, “Now it"s me who"s hurt.”
Yan Hua pokes at Lang Ruoxian secretly and says, “I sympathize with you for your injury. But if you didn"t pull me back, you would not have hit the Christmas tree. Now I"m glad that I wasn"t dragged down by you. Mrs. Lu, you don"t know me well. I usually don"t resent people because I always avenge immediately.”
Yuan Li is stunned with a bad feeling. Before she could speak, she hears Yan Hua"s words.
“When there was a typhoon last week, I found something in the yard...”
“Mrs. Lang!” Yuan Li screams.
It frightens everyone.
“There... There is a misunderstanding between us.” Yuan Li laughs, which is uglier than she cries. “I wanted to talk to you. But I didn"t expect such an accident.” She makes her fist.
This b.i.t.c.h! How dare she? Yuan Li thinks. How dare she say everything in front of so many people? Yuan Li can do nothing but to bear it. She says with a twisted smile to the hotel manager.
“Since we destroyed it carelessly, we must compensate for it. Please tell me its price later and I"ll write you a check.” She deliberately says "we" because she intends to drag Yan Hua into this.
Yan Hua would not let her succeed. She also says to the person in charge, “Not us, it"s Mrs. Lu. I have never touched the Christmas tree from beginning to end.”
“Yes, yes, I understand!” The person in charge immediately smiles apologetically. It"s not the key point whether he understands it or not. It"s okay that someone is willing to compensate it and don"t let him be responsible for it.
Then the ambulance arrives and Yuan Li is taken to the hospital. Yan Hua and her partners leave the meeting hall. Fei Ying keeps silent all the way. Finally she bursts out, jumping up and shouting.
“She deliberately falls down to set you up. Is it just because you don"t want the money she lost? What a lunatic she is!”
Fei Yi hugs her hard for fear that she would jump too high and fall down.
“She is afraid of being found out. So it"s natural that she is fl.u.s.tered.” Lang Ruoxian opens the door.
Although Fei Yi does not know the reason, he also says, “The more panicky a person is, the more easily she will make mistakes. Today, she lifts a rock only to drop it on her own toes.”
“The lunatic is certainly not going to stop.” Fei Ying indignantly says, “Yan Hua, you have to be careful.”
Yan Hua pats her and says, “Okay. Let"s go back and talk about it on the phone.”
Fei Yi looks at his wife and waves his hand towards the window to let his wife go back. He says, “You don"t have to worry about Yan Hua. She"s smarter than you.”
“Yan Hua was so smart just now, wasn"t she?” Fei Ying Laughs, “She"s really my best friend!”
Fei Yi is thoughtful, “Yan Hua"s ident.i.ty...”
“I don"t care who she used to be. She"s my friend.” Fei Ying emphasizes that, “She"s still the lifesaver of our family. Something bad would happen to Xiaojiu without her.”
“I don"t mean that.” Fei Yi kisses his excited wife, “I mean, Yan Hua"s previous status is not low. She"s very smart. When she first went to Lang Family, she deliberately showed her weakness, because no one would help her at that time.”
Fei Yi continues, “Now she has a son. Lang Cha likes her. Lang Ruoxian is deeply in love with her. The woman slowly reveals her nature. It is impossible to shape her character in one day that she will avenge even for a little thing.”
“You mean, she used to have a family with a lot of power. So if she was given the conditions, she would do whatever she wanted?”
“Almost.”
Fei Ying is happy, “That"s better. There will be no prejudice between her and Lang Ruoxian"s family. Maybe Lang Cha will agree with them at that time.”
“Yes.” Fei Yi doesn"t tell his lovely little wife that Lang Ruoxian never expects Lang Family to agree with them at all.
So he has to monopolize the power. Now his father can"t do anything. Then it"s Lang Cha...
Everyone goes to Sister Chen"s house to pick up the kids. Sister Chen hasn"t come back. She just goes to the beauty salon with madams. Mingxi"s little back is straight, “Aunt, younger brother and younger sister didn"t cry. I took them to play all the time. House maid gave us some pudding to eat. They fell asleep in my bedroom just now.”
When he takes them to his bedroom, he adds, “They fell asleep because I told them stories.”
“Mingxi is so great!” Yan Hua and Fei Ying praise him.
Fei Ying feels really sorry because she worried about Mingxi before. She touches his head and says, “Would you like to look after your brother and sister in the future?”
“Okay!” Mingxi"s eyes shine and he laughs happily.
The child enjoys the prosperous and stable life. He really wants to do something in return for everyone. He is a good child who knows how to be grateful. It"s not in vain for Chen Hong to treat him as her own son.
“Shh!” In front of the bedroom door, Mingxi gently opens the door.
Gungun and Xiaojiu sleep deeply head to head. Mingxi even changes sleep-coats for them. Xiaojiu is hugging her teddy bear.
“Can we go home by hugging them in our arms?” Fei Yi asks.
“Take it easy. Don"t wake them up, or we"ll have to put them down again.”
Lang Ruoxian picks Gungun up. He is not worried about Gungun to wake up. Basically, Gungun sleeps like a piglet, and will not wake up unless thunder strikes. Mingxi sees them to the door. Yan Hua looks at the watch and asks him.
“Do you want to go to my home? Are you afraid of being alone at home?”
Mingxi shakes his head, “I don"t fear. House maid is here. Mom won"t get to sleep if she can"t see me when she comes back. I want to accompany her.”
“Good boy. Go back now! Don"t catch cold.”
On the way, Yan Hua looks at Gungun who sleeps deeply and she says, “I don"t know if my son will be so filial in the future.”
“He will.” Lang Ruoxian wants to say that Gungun may be an innocent fool in the future. But he also thinks that maybe he will be changed one day and become an elite.
So he says, “The child"s character has a lot to do with the environment in which he grows up, and the example of his parents. He won"t be a bad man with the company of us.”
“What does it matter to you?” Yan Hua gives him a look.
Lang Ruoxian smiles and does not say much. He reminds her of another thing, “Tomorrow"s newspaper will definitely say what happened today. Do you want to stop them to report it?”
“Doesn"t that show that I feel guilty?” Yan Hua shakes her head. “Don"t take care of it. Let"s just see what she wants to do.”
“I don"t think she still has a chance.” Lang Ruoxian sneers, “Her ex-husband will be back next week.”
This time, Lang Ruoxian is not right. Within two days, Yan Hua receives a call from Yuan Li. She invites Yan Hua to have coffee.
“Mrs. Lang, I know I did wrong at the dinner. I want to apologize to you.” Yuan Li"s voice sounds pitiful on the phone.
But Yan Hua doesn"t feel guilty as Yuan Li thinks.
“I accept your apology.” Yan Hua smiles, “But it"s not necessary to have a meet.”
Yuan Li is anxious, “Yan Hua, I just want to say something to you. Are you really so cruel?”
She is so nervous that she even says her full name. Yan Hua wonders why she has to see her.
“Yan Hua, you don"t want me to call you every day, do you?” Yuan Li speaks directly, “If you don"t see me, I"ll call you every day.”
“Okay, but I have to decide the location.” Yan Hua says, “Let"s meet in the cafe under the Lang Consortium"s building at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.”
Yuan Li breathes a sigh of relief, “Okay, I"ll be there on time.”
When Lang Ruoxian comes back in the evening, Yan Hua tells him about it.
“She must want to beg you something.” Lang Ruoxian says, “It should be the thing about the money. It"s better to hear what she will say. Otherwise she won"t stop bothering you. Let me go with you.”
Yan Hua agrees with him. It is not a time to be petty. The next day Lang Ruoxian goes to the cafe first and finds a place inside it to sit down. Soon Yuan Li arrives and sits diagonally across from him.
“Mrs. Lang!” Yan Hua appears on time. Yuan Li stands up and asks her, “Sit down please. What would you like to drink?”
“Coffee, thank you.” Yan Hua tells the waiter.
When she gets the coffee, Yan Hua stirs it with a spoon, “Just say it. What"s the matter?”
“Mrs. Lang, I have a request. You can ask for any rewards if you accept my request.” Yuan Li stares at her. “Can you admit that you lost the money?”
Yan Hua is shocked.
