Within two days, Xiaokai tells Lang Ruoxian that he could not find anything.
"Young Master, it should be an accident. That beggar always sneaks out." He says.
Without saying a word, Lang Ruoxian decides to give up. As the government finally starts to bid for that project in the development zone, he becomes busier. Nevertheless, he has to come back on weekend.
"Uncle! Bye!" Once again, Gungun waves his small arm vigorously when Lang Ruoxian leaves.
The man takes a deep look at Yan Hua and drives away.
Yan Hua holds Gungun with her arms and comes back to the house. She is always careful to treat others. But it doesn"t mean she can"t be moved. She knows what Lang Ruoxian wants to do. But what else can she expect for? Yan Hua grins bitterly. There is an insurmountable gap between them due to their ident.i.ties.
It"s impossible in this life...
"Mommy?" Gungun touches Yan Hua"s face, "You"re sad!"
Yan Hua kisses him. Recently, Gungun is learning to speak. He can pop up several sentences every day.
"I am not sad." Yan Hua looks at her son, and that sentiment soon disappears.
Shu Yafei runs down from the upstairs and says, "Yan Hua, there is a bazaar in the town today. Would you like to go with me?"
"A monthly big bazaar?" Yan Hua asks. Uncle Xing has told her that there is a big bazaar once a month in the town. People from the two surrounding towns will come. It"s always lively in the bazaar. People will sell traditional goods that can"t be bought outside.
Shu Yafei nods and touches Gungun"s little fat hand. "Don"t take Gungun. It"s unsafe because there are many people in the bazaar."
"I know." Yan Hua agrees. She can"t take Gungun with her.
Gungun stays at home and plays with Lang Cha. Yan Hua sometimes feels her son is so independent. Not like other babies who can"t leave their mothers, Gungun doesn"t care about where his mother is, as long as there are many interesting things and people he knows around him.
"How easy it is to abduct your son!" Fei Ying once joked. She asked Yan Hua to pay close attention to Gungun.
The bazaar is at the junction of three towns. On the right of it there is a green river. When they arrive, the bazaar has been a sea of people. Many vendors and snacks are on both sides.
"Let"s walk slowly and remember to bargain on what we want to buy." Shu Yafei teaches Yan Hua. She seems to be a person who has been through the experience. "In recent years, the local people have learnt to be smart. The price becomes much emptier."
In the late morning, the sun is hotter and hotter. Yan Hua is so hot that she has a rest at a herbal tea stall with lots of things holding in her arms. Shu Yafei still joins the crowd because she wants to buy something.
Shu Yafei doesn"t come back after Yan Hua has drunk a bowl of herbal tea. She is a little impatient. But there are so many people. She doesn"t want to find her because it"s easy to get lost. She"d better stay at here and wait for her. So she asks for another bowl of herbal tea. When she is about to drink, several hooligans with tigers and dragons tattooed on their arms come over.
"Ah! There"s a beautiful woman here." A dark man is so surprised that he seems to find a new continent. "f.u.c.k. How beautiful! Brother, look!"
The man in the middle looks good. But his slippery and l.u.s.tful eyes show that he is a bad guy.
"Miss, you"re not from our town, are you?" The man sits affectedly across from Yan Hua. "Are you a tourist?"
Yan Hua wrinkles. They must come from the near town. Otherwise they will know her ident.i.ty.
"Ah! My boss is asking you!" Other hooligans surround Yan Hua.
Yan Hua feels terrible immediately. Fortunately, it"s daytime and many people are around her.
"Boss, settle accounts." She pays for the herbal tea and wants to go with her things in her arms.
"Don"t be so anxious, miss!" The hooligans of course don"t let her go. Their boss stops her directly. "Come here, I"ll help you hold your things." He says.
Yan Hua steps back from him and says, "Sir, if you continue to stop me, I"ll call the police."
She has saw police cars park at both ends for fear of unexpected events since she entered into the bazaar. As long as she shouts, the police will arrive immediately.
"No man will like a fierce woman." The boss draws back his hand and looks at Yan Hua again from head to feet. Then he goes away with a smile. Other hooligans follow him.
Yan Hua breathes a sigh of relief. She takes out her cell phone to call Shu Yafei. They would be better to leave early, in case the hooligans come back.
"Yan Hua!" She is just about to dial when she sees Shu Yafei running back with a pile of things.
"Oh, I"m exhausted. Please give me a bowl of herbal tea!" She sits down immediately. Her face is red due to the hot weather.
After Shu Yafei has finished drinking, Yan Hua says, "Let"s go back. It"s too hot."
"OK!" Shu Yafei stands up briskly.
They divide the things and turn back. They ride two electric bicycles so that they can take things home easily. The place they parked electric bicycles is on the other end. So they have to take efforts to make their way through the crowd. Without having a rest, they hang the things up on the electric bicycles and ride away.
"What do you worry about?" Shu Yafei asks Yan Hua curiously. She finds that something is wrong with Yan Hua.
Yan Hua tells her that she just met some hooligans. With her eyes glint, Shu Yafei says in a tense tone, "Those guys are from the near town. I heard they are gangsters who have been in prison."
"Let"s go back quickly." Yan Hua says. Her heart is beating, which makes her have a bad feeling. Only when they enter the Lang"s town can they feel safe.
After riding over a hillside, they see the hooligans waiting by the roadside.
"Don"t stop." She tells Shu Yafei, "Let"s rush out."
Shu Yafei looks terrified, but she nods obediently, "I understand."
However, when Shu Yafei rushes in front of the hooligans, her electric car suddenly turns over and she is under the bicycle.
"Lift her up soon!" The boss shouts with bad intentions.
Yan Hua has rushed over. But she has to stop now. Shu Yafei"s knees are broken. She pushes her electric bicycle to Yan Hua tremblingly.
"Yan... Yan Hua..." She is about to cry, "What shall we do?"
The hooligans have surrounded them, laughing at Yan Hua.
"Beauty, we are pre-destined!" The boss poses as handsome as he think, "Come on. I"ll invite you to dinner."
Yan Hua looked at them coldly. "We"re not free. Please get out of the way."
"f.u.c.k. Our boss invites you to dinner. You must be free!" A man kicks Yan Hua"s electric bicycle. She almost can"t hold the handlebars.
The boss says to that man with a fierce look, "What are you doing? Be gentle and polite to the beauty!"
"You hooligans get out of here, or we"ll call the police!" Shu Yafei suddenly shouts.
Yan Hua has no time to stop her. She is so naive. Will it be useful to call the police?
"Don"t scare us! f.u.c.k!" Sure enough, those people begin to swear.
The boss laughs and says, "I just want to invite you to dinner. If you give me the face, we will still be good friends."
"I said we were not free." Yan Hua snaps, "We are from Lang Family. It"s not good for you to hara.s.s us."
The boss is stunned. Other hooligans soon wilt when they hear Lang Family.
"Boss, we can"t afford to offend them. Let"s go..."
The boss looks at Yan Hua, hesitating for a moment. He finally spits an obscenity and takes his hooligans away.
"You..." Shu Yafei just wants to provoke them. But Yan Hua covers her mouth immediately.
"Don"t you want to go?" Yan Hua stares at her. "Ride your bike quickly."
Yan Hua feels relieved when they enter into the town without a break. Shu Yafei keeps silent all the time.
She asks pitifully, "Yan Hua, are you angry with me?"
Yan Hua smiles in spite of sweating. "No. I just felt nervous at that time because I was afraid you would irritate them and let them come back again."
"I won"t be so reckless again." Shu Yafei is ashamed. "If I hadn"t fallen, we would have run away."
"All right, stop talking about this." Seeing the mountain villa, Yan Hua specifically says, "Don"t tell them including Grandpa what happened to us when we come back. I don"t want them to worry about us."
Shu Yafei nods, "Rest a.s.sured. I understand."
They didn"t tell anyone what happened today. But Lang Ruoxian knows it finally. When he comes over the next weekend, he says to Yan Hua, "Don"t go out with Shu Yafei again."
"Why?" Yan Hua doesn"t know that he has known the thing about hooligans. She says, "She"s a good girl without a little sourness."
Lang Ruoxian sneers, "She has a bad luck. Every time you go out with her, you will have an accident."
"What kind of logic do you have?" Yan Hua rolls her eyes. "According to your words, everyone would think that I"m unlucky. Because every time I go out with them, there will be some accidents."
Lang Ruoxian becomes unkind again. He mocks her, "Your eyes are not well. Can you tell who is good and who is bad?"
"No, I can"t. So what?" Yan Hua asks angrily, "If you can. Why not tell Grandpa directly? Let Grandpa know that Shu Yafei is not a good one. Let"s see if Uncle Xing beats you or not."
After saying, she pushes Lang Ruoxian and runs away.
Lang Ruoxian rubs his eyebrows. This little woman is really good at debating.
Although Yan Hua debates with him, she actually believes his opinion.
"Anyway, I"ll leave at the end of the month. It"s OK that I don"t go out with her again." Although she feels that it is unfair to Shu Yafei, Yan Hua chooses to believe Lang Ruoxian.
In fact, she feels that Lang Ruoxian, as a sinister and cunning person, is probably more sensitive to his peers than her. If Lang Ruoxian knows what she thinks, he will be extremely angry.
Yan Hua and Shu Yafei have made an appointment to go to the vegetable garden together the next day. As Yan Hua is thinking about an excuse to refuse, Shu Yafei refuses first.
"Yan Hua, I"m sorry I have a stomachache. I can"t pick vegetables with you." She says.
That"s great! Yan Hua says quickly, "It"s all right. You"d better have a rest. I"ll go with Gungun."
It"s not hot in the morning, which is a good day to let Gungun play outside. But she doesn"t expect that an accident happens in the garden. There is big pit beside the vegetable field. Yan Hua doesn"t notice it and she falls in.
Gungun cries out in horror, which makes people around think that a terrible thing happens.
"The tendons are out of place." The doctor says. Yan Hua"s left foot is swollen like a pig hoof.
Lang Family has a specialist doctor. He examines her whether she fractures or not. The doctor continues, "You need cold compress and walk less these days."
"Mommy." Gungun looks at her pitifully. He wants her to hug him. But he is afraid of hurting her swollen feet. The little boy is so lovable.
Yan Hua hugs him and let him sit down on her right leg. "Mom is fine. I"ll be well just a few days later." She says, "But I can"t go out and play with you during this period of time."
"Mommy is sick. You should sleep!" Gungun pats on her face.
Yan Hua rubs her son"s head. She sees Lang Ruoxian looking at her gloomily from the corner of her eyes.
Yan Hua feels scared.
