Tian Bocheng looks at Lang Hongyue in shock, while Lang Hongyue conveys her meaning with her eyes.
"We"ll be all right if you plead guilty to all charges by yourself, otherwise Dad won"t spare me and you"ll have nothing."
Tian Bocheng naturally understands that if he admits it, the most serious consequence will be to be driven out and never appear in front of Lang Cha again. But Lang Hongyue will not divorce him. As long as they are still husband and wife, he won"t be affected much.
But if Lang Hongyue is kicked out...
"Dad!" Tian Bocheng kneels down with a plop and even the thick carpet can"t prevent them from hearing the sound. The sound makes people be aware how painful his knees will be.
He glances at Lang Hongyue. Although he knows in his heart the necessity, it is still chilling for him that this woman doesn"t hesitate to put him out as a scapegoat. But now he has no other choices but to grind his teeth and continue to speak.
"I did everything, and Hongyue didn"t know anything about it. Later she found out and quarreled with me. She almost got divorced me." Tian Bocheng clenches his fist and stares at the floor without daring to lift his head.
"Bocheng!" Lang Hongyue falls upon him and cries affectedly, "It was my fault. If I had stopped you later, it wouldn"t have been a tragedy, Dad..."
She lets out a plaintive cry. "Or you can kill me? Kill me to pay off the lives of Second Brother"s family."
"Do you think I dare not?" Lang Cha is furious and lifts his crutch to hit.
Tian Bocheng naturally holds Lang Hongyue in his arms, so the crutch knocks him hard on the shoulder. Tian Bocheng falls down to roll on the carpet with a scream.
"Bocheng! Bocheng!" Lang Hongyue screams. Suddenly she covers her belly and shouts, "My belly... Hurts, it"s hurts!"
Lang Qin shakes his head. "Dad, I"ll take Hongyue to the hospital."
"Go, go, go!" Lang Cha waves the crutch. "Take her away and don"t let her show up in front of me."
Lang Hongyue is estimated to really feel her belly ache and keeps shouting, "My child, my child!"
Lang Qin hurriedly asks someone to pick her up and lift Tian Bocheng away. When he walks to the door, he hears Lang Cha shout another sentence.
"Later, take them to penitence in front of your second brother"s grave."
"Dad, I see..."
Lang Qin drives himself. When he is approaching the hospital, the two persons behind him stop shouting.
"I will tell Dad that you two will rest for two days before going to visit Second Brother"s grave." Lang Qin hands the tissue box to Lang Hongyue, "Wipe your face... The makeup is all over your face."
Lang Hongyue cries again and asks, "Will Dad cancel my inheritance?"
"I don"t know." Lang Qin looks at her in the rearview mirror, "What? At this time, do you still care about money?"
"Hum..." Lang Hongyue stares at him, "Or what should I care? My second brother"s family? They were all dead, dead! Even they died, they still let me have a hard time."
Lang Qin says with a cold face, "You will die, too. Then our second brother will be waiting for you in underworld to settle accounts with you."
"Don"t scare me!" Lang Hongyue laughs scornfully. "You have been abroad all these years and have made overseas companies yours. Of course, you don"t have to care about domestic business."
"According to what you said, you were right to kill the son of our second brother?" Lang Qin shakes his head and says, "Acc.u.mulate some virtue. Don"t you be afraid of retribution on the baby in your belly?"
"Shut up!" Lang Hongyue quickly says, "Why do you curse my son?"
Lang Qin gives her a disgusted look. "Don"t think everyone else is like you. Don"t talk to me, or I"ll let you get out of the car now."
"You..." Lang Hongyue shuts up.
This younger brother went to school abroad more than 10 years ago, and he hadn"t been back until now. But she remembered that Lang Qin was very cunning when he was a child and often framed his three elder siblings.
Later when they grew up, Lang Hongyue knew that she had no inheritance right and still regarded Lang Qin as the key opponent of scrambling for family property. Who knows this guy stays abroad without saying a word, and he has not contacted the domestic company belongs to Lang Consortium since then.
"Mind your own business." Finally, Lang Hongyue doesn"t forget to warn him, "You never take part in the company"s affairs anyway, and this time it has nothing to do with you."
After saying this, she goes to check Tian Bocheng"s injury and doesn"t see the mocking smile on Lang Qin"s lips. The smile flashes across, and when she looks at him again, he looks as if there is nothing to do with him.
Lang"s mansion.
"Grandpa..." Yan Hua, who has remained silent, finally has a chance to speak. She doesn"t expect Lang Cha to give Gungun so many things, which moves her and makes her feel a little inappropriate.
Lang Cha knows what she is going to say and raises his hand. "Things are given to Gungun. You have no right to refuse for him."
All right... Yan Hua swallows her unfinished words.
"But those are at your disposal until he is 18." Lang Cha looks at Gungun who is playing in the small sitting room. "You are a good child. I want to thank you for giving birth to Gungun for our Lang Family and educating him so well."
Yan Hua stops talking about the will, because whatever she says is useless anyway.
"Gungun is my son and that is what I should do." Yan Hua smiles, "Whether he is a member of Lang Family or not, he is my son."
Lang Cha nods to show he has understood it. Lang Ruoxian reaches out to help him. "Grandpa, let me take you to your room for a rest."
"I"m fine." Lang Cha stands up, "I can still walk by myself."
Lang Ruoxian sends Lang Cha back to his bedroom. When he goes downstairs, he sees Yan Hua help Gungun put on the coat.
"Going back?" He whispers, "Stay here tonight."
Yan Hua glances at the house maid who is not far away, and lowers her voice as well, "I have made an appointment with Fei Ying and Sister Chen to go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park in the afternoon, but I shall come back in the evening."
"Then call me when you come back and I"ll pick you up." Lang Ruoxian gives her a kiss.
Yan Hua glares at him. "Pay attention! People are all around."
"Who else? Just us..."
"Ruoxian, come with me into the study." Lang Li is like a ghost behind people"s back. It is unknown when he stands at the entrance of the sitting room.
Yan Hua gets a fright. She doesn"t know if he saw what they did just now.
"Call me if you have anything." Lang Ruoxian pinches her hand secretly.
He is about to turn around when he perceives that there is a small fleshy hand put into his hand.
"Uncle also pinches Gungun"s hand!" The little child says, "Like pinching mom... Uh-huh."
Yan Hua covers his mouth to prevent him continuing to say. Lang Ruoxian smiles and pinches his small fat hand. "When you go out to play, you should protect your mom. Call uncle if you have something."
"I see!" Gungun cutely says.
Having sent the mother and son into the car, Lang Ruoxian turns to study. When pushing open the door of the study, the expression on his face turns into what is shown in the public"s eyes. A modest childe, is as gentle as a jade, calmly and patiently.
"What do you think about your auntie?" Lang Li is sitting on the sofa beside the French window, and the sunshine covers him in a golden halo.
In spite of this, he looks gloomy, making others feel that he is like a snake waiting for a chance to bite people.
"I didn"t expect my auntie to do such a thing." Lang Ruoxian says in a particularly calm tone, "But this has nothing to do with us, and I have no feelings with Second Uncle"s family."
Thus, his current reaction is normal. Lang Hongyue has lost her position in front of Lang Cha. It has been lenient not to confiscate her share of the inheritance. Therefore, Lang Cha is very sad.
He feels sorry for his dead son but he cannot bear to really let his daughter pay with her life.
"Don"t you think it"s a coincidence?" A tinge of ferocity flashes across in Lang Li"s eyes. "I am as same as my short-lived nephew. Who should be responsible for my current body situation now?"
Lang Ruoxian stands in the shadow, so Lang Li is unable to see his expression, but only hears his voice in surprise.
"Dad, what do you mean? Do you doubt..."
"Yes." Lang Li turns to look at him. "Your auntie used the same method to deal with me, but she didn"t handle it cleanly, so I found out."
Lang Ruoxian takes two steps forward. "Dad, are you sure?"
"Of course." Lang Li sneers. "Otherwise, how could I have sent the evidence how she killed Zeyu to your grandpa?"
"What"s your next step?" Lang Ruoxian helps him cover a blanket. "What does dad need me to do?"
Lang Li nods with satisfaction. "I only have you now. Don"t let me down."
"Dad, don"t worry." Lang Ruoxian looks serious. "Since she can kill one nephew, she can kill another one. We must take the initiative to gain the upper hand."
"You needn"t involve in." Lang Li pats his son on the shoulder and says happily, "You must make a good impression on your grandpa, and don"t forget your uncle also has a son."
If Lang Cha can change his will today, he can do it again. It is still unknown who will inherit Lang Consortium finally.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" Lang Ruoxian asks, "After all, that"s my auntie. If Grandpa knows..."
"That"s why I don"t want you to get involved." Lang Li"s eyes are cold. "Even if your grandpa finds out and be angry with me, he will not transfer his anger on you. Besides, that is what your auntie owes me."
She has hurt me first, so she shouldn"t blame me for being ruthless...
Hospital. Lang Hongyue is fine, while Tian Bocheng"s shoulder is black and purple because the crutch hit him too hard. The doctor says that his bones have been injured, so he has to rest and be taken good care of for quite a while.
"Thanks to you this time." As soon as they return home, Lang Hongyue breathes a sigh of relief.
Tian Bocheng slowly leans into the sofa without looking at her, with bandages on his shoulder. "This is not over yet. Your dad will not let us go so easily."
"Rest a.s.sured! The baby in my belly is a shield, and he can"t ignore my belly however angry he gets." Lang Hongyue smiles. "He will give you another beating at most."
"Aren"t you afraid that he will beat me to death?" Tian Bocheng says grumpily.
Lang Hongyue knows she is wrong and hurriedly pours him a cup of tea. "What would you like to eat in the evening? I shall cook for you in person!"
"You"d better have a rest soon. If the fetus is disturbed again, you are going to torment me."
"Then I"ll ask the house maid to cook some dishes you like!" Lang Hongyue leaves with a relaxed expression.
Tian Bocheng sneers behind her. This woman is extremely selfish. She can take him as a scapegoat this time. She will continue to sacrifice him for anything she meets later. He can"t go on like this. He can"t live with this kind of woman for a lifetime...
Lang Hongyue doesn"t realize that she has been utterly isolated. She thinks that it is over. At most, she will go back to Lang Zeyu"s grave and cry a few times to repent. The result is unexpected that the day after her returning from worshipping to Lang Zeyu, her companies receive doc.u.ments from the parent company.
"Dad!" Lang Hongyue takes the doc.u.ments and goes back to Lang"s mansion.
Lang Cha removes two jewelry companies under her name and the advertising company managed by Tian Bocheng from Lang Family"s company. Since then, those companies belong to them have nothing to do with Lang Consortium.
"How can you treat me like this?" Lang Hongyue comes in and shouts, "This is trying to force me to die!"
