Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Chapter 238 Lang Ruoxian Saves a Person in a Foreign Country

Soon, the news that Bai Family’s requirement of marriage is rejected by Hua Family is spread out.

“Bai Jiancheng is mindless either. He knows it impossible but insisted on requesting but gets intolerable answer.” Tang Yao says gloatingly, “Well, everyone knows that his daughter is rejected by Bai Family. When he goes to others to ask for uniting by marriage, who else will agree?”

Whoever agrees, wouldn’t it be telling others that they would accept whom Hua Family didn’t want? Their family would be regarded as a recycler.

“She will marry beneath herself!” Bai Susu takes a sip of scented tea. “If marrying beneath herself is impossible, she can still find a live-in son-in-law. The family is rich, so a son-in-law can be found anyway.”

Yan Hua is eating fruit nearby and is amused by her mother’s words. “Bai Family should know this kind of result and how can they make such a low-level mistake?”

Bai Family certainly knows there will be such a result. Bai Jiancheng doesn’t agree at the beginning.

“Dad, we just have one girl Jingzhu. She is still your daughter and my sister at worst.” At that time, Bai Yuanqi helplessly persuades. “Let’s talk directly to Hua Family so that let her give up. Otherwise, I’m afraid something bad will happen sooner or later.”

Bai Jingzhu follows her own family to pay a visit to Hua Family’s house. She should not have appeared on this occasion, but her mother is exasperated and can’t do anything to her daughter. So they take Bai Jingzhu there on purpose in order to let her hear Hua Yan’s refusal in person, and then she can give up.

Sure enough, Bai Jingzhu just sits down and Hua Yan clearly tells Bai Family members that he won’t marry Bai Jingzhu. Bai Jingzhu cries and runs away. Bai Yuanfei has to go after her.

“Have you given up?” Having pushed Bai Jingzhu into the car, Bai Yuanfei asks.

Bai Jingzhu cries so hard that her makeup is smudged. She looks as if the sky is falling. “Why doesn’t he want to marry me? What’s wrong with me? Since he doesn’t like Tang Duo, why can’t he like me?”

“What is your logic?” Bai Yuanfei unbelievably looks at his sister. “What do you mean if he doesn’t like Tang Duo, he must like you? Are you the only two women in the world?”

Bai Jingzhu sobs. “Otherwise? If he likes Tang Duo, I shall give up. Since he doesn’t like her, shouldn’t I be chosen? Who else is suitable except me?”

“To tell the truth, even Hua Yating looks better than you.” Bai Yuanfei shakes his head. “And the starlet who has played with us recently, also looks better than you.”

“Hua Yating is his sister!” Bai Jingzhu shouts. “How can the starlet compare with me? Choosing mate is not up to the appearance only.”

Bai Yuanfei glances at her. “Why not? We’ll choose our mate by appearance, and I’ll find a beautiful girl when I get married.”

“Our parents won’t agree!” Bai Jingzhu angrily answers. “They will definitely find you a perfect match to unite by marriage.”

“Rest assured! That’s my business.” Bai Yuanfei waves his hand and starts the car.

Just when everyone thinks Bai Jingzhu should perish her thought, she is drunk in the bar in the midnight and calls Hua Yan, saying that she will commit suicide if Hua Yan doesn’t pick her up.

“If you were present, you would all have to laugh to death.” Tang Cao, as an onlooker who played in nightclubs all the way, tells the information to Tang Family members at the dinner table early in the morning. “She went alone. She ordered a bottle of whisky and got drunk after drinking two cups.”

Today, Yan Hua is in her period, so Lang Ruoxian sends the two little children to school when he goes to the company in the morning. Yan Hua sends them to the door and hears Tang Cao laugh when she comes back.

“Chen Xiaopang wanted to accost her, but Bai Jingzhu squeezed his face and said, ‘Yan, I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you have gained weight? There’s so much meat on your face!’”

Tang Cao holds his throat to learn to speak like a woman, which almost amuses Chang Pei’e to choke. Yan Hua quickly smoothes her breathing. Bai Susu frowns, thinks of something and asks. “What happened later? Did Hua Yan go here?”

“Of course not!” Tang Cao slurps. “He ignored her at all, but he didn’t go to extremes completely. He asked Hua Zhong to inform Bai Yuanfei.”

Yan Hua shakes her head. “Why bother! Knowing that Hua Yan doesn’t like her, she still refuses to give up and may have to get herself involved in something bad in the end.”

“Sister, you are right! Bai Jingzhu, that fool, almost got suffered yesterday!” Tang Cao changes the topic. “Hua Yan hung up her phone, didn’t he? She ran out of the bar by herself and was seen by several passing hooligans, so they wanted to drag her into the alley.”

Although he despises Bai Family, Tang Cao is still kind. Even if Bai Jingzhu is stupid, he can’t just watch her being badly treated like this.

“Chen Xiaopang and I were going to go in and save her, but someone moved faster than we did.” Tang Cao says, “A young man saved her and was injured a bit. Bai Yuanfei personally took him to the hospital after he arrived.”

Tang Cao smiles thievishly. “The point is, when Bai Jingzhu was carried out by the man, she kissed him hard.”

“Why?” Tang Yao is curious. “Did that man look like Hua Yan very much?”

“He was completely unlike.” Tang Cao laughs. “But he was no worse than Hua Yan.”

In other words, he must be a very good-looking man. Yan Hua sees Tang Cao smile like that and feels there is something fishy.

Tang Cao coughs. “Bai Jingzhu should have been stripped naked at that time because Chen Xiaopang said he saw her two white legs.” Having seen everyone stare at him, Tang Cao also stares. “Why do you stare at me? I didn’t know those hooligans were so fast that they stripped her naked within minutes.”

“The man kindly saved her. He couldn’t be blackmailed and entangled, could he?” Chang Pei’e is worried for she has no good feeling for Bai Jingzhu this youngster.

Yan Hua is stunned. “It can’t be...”

Bai Family won’t be hasty to such extent to lower standards of choosing a spouse. They won’t casually find a mate for Bai Jingzhu.

Indeed, Bai Family won’t do so. Later, they hear that Bai Yuanfei wanted to give gifts to the young man in return. But the young man didn’t accept it. He went to the hospital to bandage his injuries and then left. After that, Bai Jingzhu has been locked up by her family.

“I’ve packed two down jackets for you. If you still feel cold, you can buy thicker ones there by yourself.” That night Yan Hua packs Lang Ruoxian’s luggage. Tomorrow Lang Ruoxian will go to Northern Europe to talk business.

“It’s not that cold.” Lang Ruoxian takes a bath and hugs her. “Shu Sheng has checked that the temperature there is the same as that of our winter here.”

Yan Hua puts the trunk lid on. “That should be enough. You remember to drink the tonic tea made by mom every day. I’ll send a message to remind you.”

“Why are you suddenly so concerned about my body?” Lang Ruoxian holds her to bed. “Am I wrong about my age? Have I already been 60-year-old and become an old man?”

Yan Hua rolls her eyes towards him. “I saw a news two days ago. It said that a person took harmful substances for a long time when he was a child, and then he was cured. But later, as he got older, his body functions began to show toxic reactions.”

She shivers in Lang Ruoxian’s arms. “You are in the same situation as him is, and I’m afraid you will be...”

“Fool!” Lang Ruoxian hugs her. “I have asked the doctor about all these things you said. The man on TV certainly did not take good follow-up care of himself. I am not the same. I have taken traditional Chinese medicine for a long time and will not have that kind of problem.”

Yan Hua keeps silent and hugs him tightly. Lang Ruoxian smiles and says, “That’s all right. When I come back this time, we’ll also go to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, OK?”

“I think so, too!” Yan Hua says in a muffled voice in his arms, “Traditional Chinese medicine can be eaten even if you are not sick.”

Lang Ruoxian’s destination in Northern Europe this time is a city called Suglia. 200 kilometers north from there is the famous aurora town. Tang Consortium is going to build a five-star luxury hotel in Suglia this time.

Since the only five-star hotel in the area is Lang Consortium’s property, Lang Ruoxian comes to visit it for himself.

“Mr. Lang, you rest assured. In the future, we will certainly have a good cooperation with Tang Consortium and develop together.” The manager of the hotel shows excessive attention to Lang Ruoxian. He is also afraid that Lang Ruoxian might misunderstand something, so he directly shows loyalty.

Lang Ruoxian goes to check the progress of the new hotel, which is expected to open next year. In the evening, he is going back to the Hotel of Lang Consortium to stay. As he is approaching the hotel, a car suddenly stops in front of them. Several people on the car pull a girl from the roadside into the car.

“Young Master.” Shu Sheng is shocked. When he reacts, the car has already driven away with the girl on it.

“Catch up with it.” Lang Ruoxian doesn’t hesitate. If he is right, the girl just now was an Oriental.

The driver follows the car in front and Shu Sheng immediately calls the police. The people in that car probably don’t expect anyone to follow them and drive slowly. When they pass a few blocks to stop at the gate of a hotel, the police car arrives almost at the same time.

Lang Ruoxian doesn’t get off the car. Shu Sheng explains the situation to the police and sees the kidnapped girl. Then he comes back with a complicated expression.

“What’s up?” Lang Ruoxian frowns.

Shu Sheng swallows his saliva. “Young Master, she is also from Hua Country and you may know her...”

Dong Nianshuang sits in the police station, her petite body wrapped in a coat lent to her by the police, her palm-sized face as white as tofu. But her eyes are very flustered and she has not recovered from the accident.

“Miss, you may go now.” The voice of the policeman is rarely soft.

After all, beauty knows no national boundaries. The girl of Hua Country in front of him is very beautiful and frightened like a deer, which makes people love her more.

“Mr. Policeman, those persons...”

“Don’t worry. They all have confessed.” The policeman has just finished speaking when two people walk out of the room on the other side.

The policeman looks at them and asks, “Do you know each other? Today thanks to the two gentlemen, you can be saved.”

Dong Nianshuang bites her lips. Of course she knows him. That is Lang Ruoxian, Tang Duo’s husband.

“Thank you.” She walks slowly over, somewhat embarrassed, but she still thanks him.

Lang Ruoxian gives her a look and turns to leave without saying anything. Shu Sheng nods at Dong Nianshuang. “Since Miss Dong is fine, we’ll leave first. Goodbye!”

The policeman behind Dong Nianshuang is stunned. He thinks that even if they don’t know each other, they are all from Hua Country. Lang Ruoxian should take Dong Nianshuang away with him. But instead...

“Ah, miss, let me call a taxi for you.” The policeman says hastily.

Dong Nianshuang shakes her head. “Thank you, but my friend will pick me up soon.”

When Lang Ruoxian leaves the police station, a girl of Hua Country rushes in. Shu Sheng sees her.

“She seems to be Dong Nianshuang’s assistant.”
