Destined Wife: The Apple Of My Eye

The swallows under the eaves of big families have flown into the homes of ordinary people. Walking into the prepared big private room, Yan Hua has this kind of feeling. The decoration here is unlike some archaistic furniture and some nondescript landscape paintings hanging on the wall, it is like history reappearing everywhere, as if it is a real royal palace in full bloom which has a history of hundreds of years.

“Sister, don"t you remember?” Tang Cao pours tea for her. “The things here are real antiques. You used to say if they belonged to our family, it would be great!”

Yan Hua glances at him. “Was I really so…”

“Really.” Tang Cao smiles a bit annoyingly, “You were notorious to love to enjoy, like style dress and delicious food, all valuable things.”

Yan Hua believes what he said.

“What are you brother and sister whispering about?” Bai Susu shouts, “Greet your uncle quickly!”

Yan Hua just notices that there is a man in the private room, sitting next to her grandma.

“Uncle Chen!” Tang Cao greets him quickly and stabs Yan Hua secretly.

“Uncle Chen!” Yan Hua follows suit.

Chen Shu is about the same age as Tang Yao and looks very young. But his temperament is very gentle, He looks a little sissy, but his eyes are clean and clear. He is now looking at Yan Hua and smiling.

“Hua, one who survives a great disaster is destined to good fortune for ever after. Uncle knows that you are a blessed child!”

Yan Hua stands up and answers, “Thank you for your kind words. I haven"t seen your elegant demeanor for several years.”

“Hear, I"ve said before!” Chen Shu smiles. “Of all the children, why do I like Hua best? She is honey-tongued! Hahaha.”

Other parents must be modest, but Yan Hua"s parents are not ordinary parents.

Tang Yao nods with alacrity and answers, “Yes, she is. My Hua is good-looking and filial. She is good at pleasing elders!”

“It"s a pity…” Chen Shu says, “I heard that Hua has already married?”

Yan Hua smiles more brightly. “Yes, Uncle Chen, he will come to Yanjing after a while. I"ll take him to meet you.”

“My two sons are completely out of the question.”

Tang Cao interrupts. “Even if my sister didn"t marry, neither of them would have a chance.”

“Tang Cao, how do you speak?” Bai Susu stares at him.

Chen Shu waves his hand. “Ah, Xiaocao is right! My two sons are annoying. I am worried that they will not be able to marry good girls.”

“Don"t be too modest.” Chang Pei"e praises, “Both of your sons are very promising. You still disrelish them? Look at Xiaocao of our family.”

“Grandma, if you comment on other men, please don"t compare them with me!” Tang Cao complains, “What"s wrong with me? I am a good socialist youth who has developed in an all-round way in five stresses and four points of beauty, and morality, intelligence, physique and aesthetics.”

Bai Susu stuffs a piece of meat into his mouth, “Why are you so loquacious? Eat your meal!”

“Gungun is five and four… good kid!” Gungun says with a crisp voice. He came in and ran to the back room to watch the cartoon just now, but now he shouts, leaning over the table.

“Hahaha!” Tang Cao rocks with laughter. “Gungun, you follow me to say it again, five stresses and four points of beauty…”

“Five stresses and four!” Gungun still doesn"t remember all of it.

Chang Pei"e"s tears come out of laughter. “Ah, my darling, hurry to me!”

“Great-grandma!” Gungun rushes into her arms.

Chen Shu who is next to her looks at Gungun admiringly. “Is this the son of Hua?”

“Well, his nickname is Gungun.” Chang Pei"e touches her great grandson"s head and says, “Gungun, call Grandpa.”

Gungun"s big eyes stare at Chen Shu. “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa!”

“Good, good, good! Good boy!” Then he sees Gungun continue to stare at him, eyes flashing more than stars.

Chen Shu is stunned. “What does he mean?”

“Hahaha!” Chang Pei"e covers her mouth and smiles. “Waiting for you to give him a gift of first meeting!”

Yan Hua who is near them doesn"t feel embarra.s.sed, and smiles happily at Chen Shu.

“My fault!” Chen Shu pats his forehead and calls a waiter in to pa.s.s his word. Soon another manager comes in and hands him a small card.

Chen Shu puts the black card into Gungun"s hand. “Well, if Gungun wants to eat meals later, come to Grandpa"s place. You can help yourself to meals just for free!”

“d.a.m.n it!” Tang Cao cries, “Uncle Chen, you are too partial. When I asked you to give me the black card, you didn"t give me.”

Chen Shu says solemnly, “Well, if I gave it to you, your boys would come to eat every day and make me bankrupt, wouldn"t you?”

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Gungun gets down from Chang Pei"e"s arms and throws himself into Chen Shu"s arms to kiss him, and then he quickly runs back to Yan Hua, putting the card into her hand like presenting a treasure.

Yan Hua touches her son"s head. “Mom will put it into the small box beside your bed when we return home.”

In the middle of the dinner, Chen Shu leaves in advance for some business, and the remaining Tang Family members quietly sum up the performance of Yan Hua just now, feeling that she can score 100.

“I probably have a little feeling.” Yan Hua rubs the edge of the teacup. “Make public your willfulness, but have a sense of propriety. Arrogance does not equal to stupidity.”

This should be the true character of Tang Duo.

“You are really my Hua, really smart.” Bai Susu nods. “You said those young ladies of note didn"t like you, but they never dared to do anything bad to you. And those stupid guys always criticized behind your back that you didn"t know anything and it was no use marrying you, but every time they saw you, their eyes stuck on you.”

“Hua, do you know why?”

Yan Hua thinks for a moment and asks tentatively, “Because… My eldest uncle?”

“Yes!” Bai Susu goes on to say, “Because you knew how far to go and when to stop and you were reasonable. Your uncle wouldn"t mind small indulgences. He likes you very much. No matter what people outside said, as long as he thought you were good, no one dared to offend you.”

Chang Pei"e takes a sip of tea and says mildly, “They all say that our family run amuck in Yanjing because of depending on your uncle. I am not against it! If they are capable, they can find a big tree to lean on.”

Tang Yao and Tang Cao have already taken Gungun to the back room to play. Every time when discussing the topics which require thinking, only women of Tang Family will partic.i.p.ate. Yan Hua sees the three persons laughing inside, she can"t help smiling.

“Grandma, the information above said except Uncle, the rest of the first branch treat our family…”

Apart from Tang Ming, the other members of the first branch of Tang Family look down on the second branch, thinking that they live so well only depending on the first branch.

“We will meet your uncle tomorrow.” Chang Pei"e touches Yan Hua"s hair. “There are some things you need to judge for yourself, whether it"s true or false, genuineness or hypocrisy.”

Bai Susu smiles. “Don"t be afraid, and there are your grandma and me! No one can bully you.”

The world is very small, let alone Yanjing. When they leave, they meet Bai Family members in the parking lot.

“Tang Cao?” Bai Yuanfei thought the car look familiar just now. Tang Family members are indeed here.

Yan Hua and other people have gotten into the car. But Gungun"s kettle lid is left in the private room, so Tang Cao goes to take it.

When he sees Bai Yuanfei, he squints at Bai Yuanfei. “Why are you alone today? Where"s Hua b.u.t.terfly?”

What he means is Hua Zhong.

“He must be at home!” Bai Yuanfei laughs. “I come to pick up my younger sister.”

Tang Cao"s face changes color. “Is Bai Jingzhu also here?”

Just then Bai Jingzhu comes out of the elevator and sees her brother standing with Tang Cao. Her expression is not good.

“Yuanfei, why don"t you go up and find me but stay here?”

“Are you blind?” Tang Cao shakes his leg. “What can your brother and I do?”

Bai Jingzhu"s face is cold. “Why do you interrupt when I talk to my brother?”

“Because I like to do it and I am willing to do it!” Tang Cao chuckles. “If you are not satisfied, then hit me.”

“Why are you so rude?” Bai Jingzhu stares at him.

Bai Yuanfei rolls his eyes. “Can"t you two quarrel as soon as you meet?”

“No, I didn"t quarrel with your younger sister.” Tang Cao sneers. “I also dare not for fear that she will say that I bully a weak woman everywhere. But I really don"t see how weak she is. Look at her elbow. Holy c.r.a.p! They are almost as thick as mine.”

“Tang Cao!” Bai Jingzhu screams. “What do you mean?”

Bai Yuanfei grabs his sister quickly, or she will rush up and hit Tang Cao. Tang Cao is still bragging in an ostentatious manner. He says what he means is what literally means…

“Tang Cao?” Yan Hua sees him talking to another man and knows they are familiar. Then there comes another girl soon. But it seems that they are going to fight after a few words?

When Bai Susu tells her that the girl is Bai Jingzhu, Yan Hua understands.

When Hua Yan eloped with a nightclub miss. Though it was terrible, competent Hua Family and Tang Family could have quieted it down. But at the critical moment, it was Bai Jingzhu who immediately disclosed the matter.

“Bai Family later apologized and sent her abroad. But things couldn"t be undone. Your younger brother has hated her from then on and quarrels with her whenever he sees her.”

Yan Hua gets out of the car and comes over. Bai Jingzhu, who likes Hua Yan, cannot have been friends with Yan Hua. Since it"s such a coincidence, Hua Yan decides to meet this girl so that Hua Yan will know how to act in the occasion where there are many people in the future.

“Tang… Tang Duo?” Bai Jingzhu is motionless, gawking at Yan Hua. Until Yan Hua comes near her, Bai Jingzhu opens her eyes wide. “You… you really didn"t die?”

Yan Hua"s eyes become aggressive. “Otherwise, am I a ghost now?”

“Sister Duo!” Bai Yuanfei calls her. “I"m glad that you can come back.”

Yan Hua glances at him. “I am very happy, too. You have grown taller.”

“Hey hey!” Bai Yuanfei scratches his head. “It"s been five years. I have grown a bit taller.”

Bai Jingzhu pulls a long face. “Tang Duo, I heard that you are married? Who was willing to marry you?”

“Jingzhu…” Bai Yuanfei frowns and pulls her. “How do you speak like that?”

Tang Cao"s expression is ferocious. “Believe it or not, I"ll knock down your teeth.”

“All right!” Yan Hua takes hold of her younger brother. “Everyone is waiting for you in the car. Let"s go.” Then she glances at Bai Jingzhu again. “Are you 24 this year?”

Bai Jingzhu doesn"t know what Yan Hua means. “Yes. What? I am younger than you anyway.”

“Five years ago, when your mother apologized to our family, she said that you were young. She asked us to forgive you. Now you are five years older. How do I feel that you"ve grown only in age but not on your brain at all?”

“Yan Hua!” Bai Jingzhu trembles with anger. “How important are you? Hua Yan preferred a nightclub miss to you!”

Tang Cao pushes Yan Hua aside and is about to hit Bai Jingzhu. “F**k, I"ll rip your mouth off.”
