Chapter 192 Return to Yanjing
Hua Zhong"s pupils are suddenly dilated, which frightens Ning Ting.
“What"s the matter, son?”
“What did you say just now?” Hua Zhong stares at his mother.
Ning Ting frowns at seeing him like this. “Xiaozhong… You still like Tang Duo, don"t you? That was when you were a child, now she…”
“Enough!” Hua Zhong stands up. “Don"t mention her in front of me. You don"t deserve to mention her.”
Ning Ting is angry. “Why are you angry with me? Even if your elder brother did something wrong, but how did our family apologize afterwards? We did almost everything except offering a humble apology, OK? That is Tang Family. Do you think we are willing to offend?”
The more Ning Ting says, the angrier she becomes. “Your sister who was still a maiden had to marry the third son of Tang Family for this, but the man was divorced!”
“That"s what she wants!” Hua Zhong sneers. “She shamelessly went after the man and finally climbed into his bed by taking being drunk as the excuse. Do you think Tang Rui would marry her if it weren"t for fear that both families would be disgraceful?”
“How can you say that about your own sister?” Ning Ting trembles and points to the younger son, thinking that he was born to oppose his family.
Hua Zhong snorts and then says, “Mom, do you regard others like fools? How did those rumors come from outside? Do you really think the members of the second branch of Tang Family didn"t know the truth?”
Two years ago, shortly after his younger sister Hua Yating got engaged to Tang Family"s third son Tang Rui, it was spread that this engagement was in order to compensate for what Hua Yan did to Tang Duo. Although many people knew that Hua Yating had always been liking Tang Rui, it was inevitable that the more words, the more people would believe it.
In addition, Tang Family did not make a statement about it all the time. Gradually, everyone thought that Hua Family had really sacrificed a daughter in order to appease the second branch of Tang Family.
“All right! All right.” Ning Ting rubs her forehead, “Anyway, Tang Duo is back now. In case she…”
“Mom, if Tang Family really wanted to do something, they would do it five years ago, so you don"t have to be so nervous.” Tang Duo"s bright face and her unabashed voice flash in his mind.
“Xiaozhong, why are you crying? Because of me? Don"t! Your brother and you are different. Besides, I don"t like him. I won"t love him because of his IQ.”
Having seen her son stare blankly again, Ning Ting can"t help blaming Tang Duo in her heart. She"s really like Helen of Troy. Her elder son is still afraid to return to home because of Tang Duo, and her younger son is dazed by her.
“Well, since you don"t want to ask, then don"t go to meet her.” Ning Ting feels that if her son do not like to do it, then he"d better not do it, so that he will not go to the femme fatale again.
Hua Zhong hisses. “Tang Family will surely celebrate the return of Sister Duo and the whole circle will join. Mom, you don"t want me to go, so are you trying to tell everyone that our two families still bear grudges and will be completely isolated from each other all our lives?”
“If there are grudges, it is Tang Family who won"t want to see us.” Hua Zhong says and turns to leave.
Ning Ting is so angry that it takes her quite a while to pat her chest to calm down.
Bai Family.
As soon as Bai Yuanfei comes back, he is stopped by his younger sister.
“Yuanfei! Have you seen Tang Duo?”
Bai Yuanfei leans to the sofa back, “Where can I meet her? I don"t even know if she will come back today.”
“She is back.” Bai Jingzhu curls her lips and hands over her mobile phone. “Well, there are photos on the Internet.”
Bai Yuanfei has been playing in the racecourse, so he really hasn"t paid any attention to the matter. He takes the phone and clicks on the photos. They were taken at the airport in a long distance. Human faces on the photos are very vague. But judging from the number of people and the license plate, they should be Tang Family members.
“Yuanfei, is Tang Duo really married? Does she even has a son?” Bai Jingzhu asks again, “Who is her husband?”
Bai Yuanfei yawns. “Why do you care so much? Don"t you always dislike her?”
“I ask just because I don"t like her.” Bai Jingzhu says grumpily, “Why did she come back to life again? If there weren"t her, an idiot who knew nothing, our circle would be excellent.”
“How interesting!” Bai Yuanfei unceremoniously mocks her, “You are jealous of her face. What"s the matter if she is an idiot? You can ask, which man in the circle won"t want to approach her?”
Bai Jingzhu is angry and wants to hit him. “Are you really my elder brother?”
“Even I am your brother, I cannot lie with my eyes open.” Bai Yuanfei peels an orange. “I am not criticizing you. So many women don"t like Tang Duo but they don"t reveal emotions. Only you set yourself against her openly all the time. Be aware that you will become a scapegoat sooner or later.”
“I"m not afraid!” Bai Jingzhu proudly says, “What if she looks good? You just want to sleep with her. Who is willing to marry her? Would you like to? If you"d like to, our mother will not agree.”
Bai Yuanfei throws a segment of the orange into his mouth and says, “Don"t say such words often in front of people. Besides, I tell you that she is married and has a son. It is better for you to think about your own marriage instead of being jealous of her.”
“By the way, don"t be dead set on Hua Yan. Even if he didn"t like Tang Duo, he won"t like you.”
Bai Jingzhu jumps up and glares at him. “Shut up your crow mouth. I just love Hua Yan. I will not marry anyone except him!”
Watching his sister run away, Bai Yuanfei shrugs his shoulders. “What"s the advantage of that fool…”
“Mom!” Gungun runs into Yan Hua"s room and shouts excitedly, “I have a big transformer in my room, super big!”
Yan Hua is dragged into his room by her son. Because Tang Family"s villa is much larger than the place where she used to live. So Gungun"s room is also much bigger, especially the robot bed in the middle.
“I specially ordered to make it. How about it?” Tang Cao quietly appears and takes credit for his achievements. “There is Gungun"s name on it, which is unique!”
The nephew and uncle roll on the bed together. Bai Susu comes over. She and Yan Hua look at each other, and both of them smile.
They are even excited about a unique bed…
“We haven"t notified your grandma yet. We"ll take you to pick her up tomorrow morning.” Bai Susu looks at her daughter lovingly. “It is not your father and me who love you most in this family, but your grandma and your grandpa who pa.s.sed away.”
Yan Hua thinks. “Then… Should we hide my memory loss from Grandma?”
“We can"t cheat her.” Bai Susu sighs. “Your grandma is very smart and wise. She has been watching your growing up…”
“Then I will tell her myself.” Yan Hua hugs Bai Susu. “I will try my best to make her not sad.”
Bai Susu pats her daughter"s head. “You can come back alive. She must be very happy.”
In the evening, Yan Hua and Lang Ruoxian make a video call. Lang Ruoxian stares at her face on the screen. “I miss you. What should I do?”
“We didn"t separate until this morning.” Yan Hua sets her mobile phone in proper place and puts on face cream.
Lang Ruoxian looks like a big dog that is abandoned. “But it will be several days before I can hold you.”
“Don"t haste.” Yan Hua looks at the screen of her mobile phone and confirms that the man doesn"t have dark circles under his eyes. Then she goes on to say, “Come here after you have finished dealing with your business. Don"t stay up late to work overtime.”
Lang Ruoxian purses his lips to keep silence and certainly won"t tell her that he almost works 24 hours every day.
“I"m going to meet Grandma tomorrow.” Yan Hua begins to put on hand cream. Lang Ruoxian watches her dig a spoon of red hand cream from a bottle and slowly put it on her hand, hoping to turn himself into the hand cream.
Yan Hua doesn"t know, but he knows. Since sending Yan Hua on the plane, the real character in his body, that is, Lang Zeyu"s character, has come out. He begins to imagine gloomily and secretly.
If he is not beside Yan Hua, whether she will be bullied, whether she will be used to northern food, and even whether she will be afraid to sleep alone at night.
But his disguise is so good that the people around him can"t find it. Yan Hua can"t find it, either.
“When will your parents announce your return?”
Even if everyone knows that the first young lady of Tang Family is back, there must be a formal occasion for introduction.
“I just want to tell you about it.” Yan Hua takes her mobile phone to bed. “Mom means to wait until you come over. She thinks that our facing together is better than my facing alone, but maybe you will be under more pressure.”
When the time comes, everything of Lang Ruoxian"s ident.i.ty will be dug out.
“It doesn"t matter.” Lang Ruoxian says over there, “The reason why Grandpa stays at home is to support me. Lang Family"s status in the three coastal provinces is powerful enough.”
Even if he goes to Yanjing and starts from scratch, he is still backed by Lang Family.
“Well, then I shall wait for you to come.” Yan Hua yawns.
Lang Ruoxian feels distressed for her. “Go to sleep. Put your mobile phone beside you, and I will watch you sleep.”
“You go to sleep, too.” Yan Hua puts her mobile phone in a good direction. “Or I"ll wait for you to go to bed.”
So Lang Ruoxian goes to bed after taking a bath as fast as he can. He puts his mobile phone in front of his face and kisses his wife good night. When Yan Hua wakes up in the morning, she sees a mirror in her mobile phone and pauses.
The next second Lang Ruoxian appears in the camera with a toothbrush in his hand.
“Are you awake?”
Yan Hua stretches herself. “Well, I will go to pick up grandma after breakfast.”
“OK, please contact me when you pick up her. I will say h.e.l.lo to her.” Lang Ruoxian rinses his mouth and puts his face in front of the camera. “Give me a good morning kiss!”
Yan Hua smiles and kisses him. Lang Ruoxian hangs up the video call. Looking at the darkened screen, Yan Hua always feels that something is wrong, but she cannot say what is wrong.
“Mom!” Gungun knocks at the doo outside. “Are you awake?”
Yan Hua quickly gets out of bed. “Yes, I am! Yes, I am!”
G City.
“Young Master, Qiang Di is here.”
Lang Ruoxian is busy. He frowns. “Let her come in…”
“You didn"t tell me such a big thing?” The sound of high-heeled shoes is drumming. The sound has already come in before Qiang Di arrives.
Lang Ruoxian asks Shu Sheng to go out first. “It is said all over and you know this.”
“Do you really want to go to Yanjing?” Qiang Di"s face is cold. “You finally have kept Lang Consortium to yourself after such efforts, but you want to give up now. Is what you did worthy of…” She suddenly closes her mouth, then doesn"t say anything, but just stubbornly looks at Lang Ruoxian.
Lang Ruoxian also looks at her. “Qiang Di, we have avenged my brother and me. Lang Li is under house arrest. Lang Hongyue has not woken up yet. It doesn"t matter who owns Lang Consortium.”
“What about me?” Qiang Di"s rim of the eyes is red. “I can accept that you have a lover, a son and a home, but you are going to leave without saying a word. What am I returning to China for? Because I don"t want to be alone abroad, and now you want to leave me alone.”
